That night, in the silent living room, Jeno stood still, his hands trembling slightly as he clutched a soft pink baby blanket. A faint scent of baby powder lingered on the fabric. It belonged to his daughter. The one he could finally hold again tonight. A few days ago, this house was filled with cries and anger. An argument that couldn't be contained, harsh words thrown in heated breaths, and the look in his wife's eyes... empty, cold. Jeno remembered how she left the house, their baby in her arms, without looking back even once. Since that moment, silence devoured everything. Silence, and regret.

He waited. Waited for his wife to come back. For one message. One explanation. But all he received was emptiness. Night after night, Jeno lay awake staring at the ceiling of their empty bedroom, imagining the sound of his baby's cries... cries he wasn't allowed to hear.

Until he couldn't take it anymore.

With the help of an old friend, Jeno snuck into his in-laws' house. He knew it was wrong. He knew there were security cameras. But he also knew the baby had been left alone in the room while they were eating dinner out front. He stood at the edge of the crib, watching the tiny body sleeping peacefully. His heart raced as he touched her cheek. Warm. Real. His daughter. His own flesh and blood. He didn't think of it as kidnapping. He was simply taking back what should never have been taken from him.

Now, just hours later, someone banged furiously on his front door. His wife had come with her parents. Their faces flushed with rage. Her mother screamed. Her father demanded answers. His wife cried. But Jeno didn't flinch. He didn't step back. He stood his ground, swallowing disappointment, holding back bitterness, and still, despite everything... love. Anger filled his face. But his voice didn't shake at all as Jeno finally looked his wife in the eye and spoke.

"I'm her father… and none of you have the right to stop me from holding my own blood."
