"Your silence means yes. So is it true that you have fallen in love with that man, Angelina?" Emily asked once again."Am I wrong if I'm in love with Alex, Em?" asked Angelina asking for an opinion.Emily sighed. "There's nothing wrong when it comes to feelings. But your mistake is, you let your heart fall for another man when you have a man occupying your heart. Do you realize what you're doing, Angelina?" Emily commented."But, Em, how can I continue to live my relationship with Oliver if I feel like these feelings are getting bland when I'm with him?""It's because of him. You wouldn't feel this way if he wasn't in your life, Angelina. Please open your eyes wide, and compare their advantages and disadvantages. You deserve to choose the best for yourself, dear Angelina.""Emily, you don't understand. Everything is complicated and Alex was able to pull me out of the complexity I was experiencing, but I was also trapped in the complexity created by my stupidity," Angelina said emotion
Angelina immediately pranced around hugging Alex and raising her legs. Alex immediately held Angelina's legs and held the girl in a position facing each other.Their eyes met, for a few long moments they were lost in each other's gaze, without making a sound as if they were communicating using their eyes, at such a close distance."You miss me so much, hm?" asked Alex again. Now he gave a lopsided smile to the girl who had either consciously or unconsciously climbed into his arms.Angelina blushed and quickly buried her face in Alex's chest so he wouldn't see her flushed cheeks."A little," Angelina replied quickly and softly.Alex smiled in satisfaction that Angelina was finally willing to admit her feelings."No need to hide it, I get it, your cheeks must be as red as tomatoes," Alex chirped.Angelina snorted in annoyance, her hand pinched Alex's waist but the man just chuckled amused.Then Alex sat down and Angelina was still on his lap, they were still facing each other in close p
"Angelina, listen to me first. I didn't mean it like that at all," Alex said quickly. Angelina stood up and then walked without saying a word, approaching Alex who had begun to panic."I-I just don't want you to feel like you can go it alone with your abilities, I know you can do it even without my help, I just recommended the workplace," Alex continued."But you helped with everything, you organized everything, even when the company had no vacancies and didn't need any new employees. You're asking me to cheat. What if someone thinks I have a special relationship with the owner of the company?""That won't happen, Angelina. No one will dare to gossip about Josh," Alex replied."But who wouldn't dare to gossip about me? I'm a nobody and not from a prominent family. They can use me anytime.""No, Angelina, that won't happen, I won't let that happen. You remember you're mine, right? And... if you have any objection to what I'm doing, you can leave the company. I won't interfere anymore a
"Come on, I have to make a phone call," Angelina said, asking the green-eyed man to get up from her lap."Angelina, can I ask you to ignore the call?" Alex hoped."Alex, sorry, I have to answer the call."Alex finally sniffed and got up. Angelina moved slightly away from Alex to answer Oliver's call."Hi, sweetie, what are you doing?" Oliver asked directly."Nothing. Just sitting on the bed.""Oh yeah, how was your first day at work?""Hmm... it went pretty well. And today I've started college again," Angelina explained."Oh, good news. By the way, have you eaten yet?""I have, how about you?" Angelina turned to ask."I did, I just finished eating then I had time to call you."Angelina just nodded, as if Oliver could see her even though it was just a voice call.Alex, who had been watching Angelina, now chuckled harshly and got off the bed and went out of the room.It's lazy to have to listen to people dating.Angelina watched Alex leave with an annoyed face, then Angelina smiled a sm
"What made you come to my place, Oliver?" the girl asked."Can't you let me in first, Emily?" Oliver showed his annoyed face.mily chuckled. "Yes yes, I'm sorry. Come on in!" Emily opened the door and invited her friend Oliver to come in.Without being told, Oliver immediately took a seat on the sofa, as usual."I'll get you something to drink," Emily said as she wandered off towards the kitchen, and soon returned with two cans of soda in her hand."Drink up!" she said."Thank you," Oliver said simply."Have you been standing at the door for long? And aren't you working, Oliver?" asked Emily."I asked a friend of mine to cover for me. I called you earlier but you didn't answer.""Oh, sorry, I put my mobile phone on silent for class. Forgot to turn the volume back up," Emily explained.Oliver chuckled. "No wonder.""Okay, so what made you come here, hm? You left your job, it must be really important," Emily asked."It's about Angelina," Oliver replied quickly. "Emily, do you know somet
Emily reached for her mobile phone to call Angelina. Emily tried to call her best friend but she never answered."Where is she? Or did the man forbid her from taking calls?" Emily muttered to herself.Not giving up, Emily tried to call her again. But she had made several calls and there was still no answer."Oh, maybe he doesn't dare to take calls. Then I'll just send her a message."Then Emily typed a few words to send to Angelina.To : Angelina.[Angelina, Oliver is looking for you. He's waiting for you at the apartment. Can you go there for a minute? I'm sorry I couldn't keep my mouth shut, I had to give Oliver away because he kept pressing me.]Send.Emily was still faithfully waiting for an answer to Angelina's message but it seemed like Angelina didn't have time to answer her."It's okay that she didn't reply. As long as the message has been read, hopefully, Angelina and Oliver can solve their problems as soon as possible."***While driving his car to Angelina's apartment, Oliv
Exiting the lift, Angelina immediately ran down the hallway to her apartment.How could Emily have leaked her secret to Oliver? Angelina felt very tight remembering that Oliver had known her bitter life story.But Angelina couldn't blame Emily, it was certainly Oliver who urged her best friend to talk.Bruk! Bruk! Bruk!The sound of loud footsteps from running made Oliver turn his head. Oliver, who had almost fallen asleep while sitting, now woke up and stood up, waiting for Angelina to arrive in front of him.Angelina had arrived and now the two were facing each other. Not a word came out of their mouths. They seemed to communicate through their gaze in silence."Oliver, you-"Oliver immediately pulled Angelina into his arms. Angelina no longer continued her sentence because of Oliver's treatment.Oliver held the girl very tightly, getting tighter and tighter. Oliver didn't want to lose the girl, but could he?Angelina could hear that Oliver was sobbing, as well as Angelina who could
Angelina chuckled sarcastically. There was something about Alex's words that struck a chord in her heart. I don't know... Angelina just felt too stupid after hearing Alex's sentence saying that the rough man freed her from Maria Hudson because he felt guilty for taking away her chastity. Angelina felt disappointed by that confession.In fact, on the night of the release Alex said he cared about Angelina and even asked her to be his lover, but apparently it was all a lie, right?Jezz, Angelina was already very confident, thinking Alex cared about her so much that she thought it was better to give up and leave Oliver.No, she didn't! Angelina left Oliver not because she was selfish, nor because she had found a new one. It wasn't like that at all.All the reasons she told Oliver earlier were true.Oliver's mum didn't like her, and didn't approve of their relationship. But at that time Oliver was still in the same city and still often invited her to di
Alex and Emily immediately locked mouths when Louis called out for everyone to be quiet. And both of them looked away."Akh! Damn, are you hurting me on purpose?" Alex suddenly groaned in pain when Louis did an action that managed to make Alex hurt."It's noisy! I said be quiet!" snapped Louis ignoring Alex who blamed him."If you weren't my friend, I'd sue you!" said Alex sharply."Sue me, I'm not afraid," Louis replied casually."That's it, now you can blab all you want!" Louis said again.Louis had finished treating the wound on Alex's shoulder and repairing the stitches that had opened due to Oliver's actions earlier. Taking off his gloves, Louis let the nurse clean up the tools that had just been used."I'm not in the mood! I forgot what I was going to say earlier," Alex retorted irritably."You forgot but I didn't. You think I'm defending Oliver and accuse me of doing that because I like him, you're crazy!" snapped Emily realizing her protest that was stopped by Louis moments ag
"Move me to the same room as Angelina, Lou, I want to be with her," Alex pleaded as the man was taken to his own ward.Louis wanted to argue but Dominik's voice silenced him."Please just do what he wants, Louis, there's no time to argue!""Alright, Uncle, I understand. I'll arrange it right away," Louis replied unable to argue.Louis immediately went out of the room and asked for the help of some officers to help move Alex to the same room as Angelina.Several officers entered Angelina's ward where Louis' colleague, Doctor Yenny, was already present, in addition to Josh and Emily."What's wrong, Doctor Louis? Why are you here? Aren't you taking care of your patients?" Yenny asked."Doctor Yenny, sorry to bother you but I need you to help me. Alex wants to be moved to the same room as Angelina, so please help me organize this room, is that okay?" Louis said asking for approval."Louis, is Alex okay?" asked Angelina weakly."Just think of yourself, Angelina. I'll move him here soon. He
"Emily, that's Oliver's voice, isn't it? Is he with Alex right now? What are they doing?" Suddenly, Angelina was attacked by panic after hearing Oliver's voice shouting and ended up mentioning Alex's name."It looks like they're together, Angelina," Emily replied in the affirmative."You don't need to interfere in my business with Angelina, nor do you have the right to say about who deserves to love Angelina. Do you think you're performing for her?" Alex's voice was just as loud as Oliver's earlier."They really are together, Emily, but why is Oliver here? Isn't he supposed to be working out of town?" asked Angelina frowning."I forgot to tell you, he transferred to this hospital, Angelina," Emily explained."What? No! We need to get to them fast, Emily!" Instantly Angelina had a bad feeling. She was afraid there would be a fight between the two men. Especially now that Alex's condition was very weak, Angelina was worried about Alex, very much.Emily just nodded and then immediately h
"Angelina, don't run around, you're still not fully recovered so--""Akh!"Before Emily could finish her sentence, Angelina was already groaning in pain while holding her stomach."Angelina! You're in pain, we should just go back to the ward, okay? Let Louis and the others take care of Alex," persuaded Emily who could not bear to see Angelina in pain."No, Emily, we're already here, I don't want to go back. I have to see Alex." Angelina did not agree to Emily's invitation because they had walked far and soon they reached the rooftop, Angelina did not want what she had done earlier to be in vain if she returned to her ward."You're stubborn! Let me help you, don't run around anymore, I'll lead you, just slow down," Emily said and Angelina could only nod without being able to refuse.One by one they climbed the stairs, and it felt like they took a very long time even though there were only a few stairs left for them to reach the rooftop. It was because Angelina was having trouble walkin
"I've given up. I'm not sure I'll still be accepted by Angelina," Alex said as he returned to his ward."What's more now she's alone with Emily and we all know Emily expressed her reservations about my relationship with Angelina. I'm afraid Emily is poisoning Angelina's mind," Alex added."Don't be prejudiced against Emily, I know she won't pressure her best friend, she must respect Angelina's decision. Emily is not a selfish girl," Louis replied."You're so insecure, I'm not sure you really love Angelina, Alex," a middle-aged man chided."What do you mean, Dad?" asked Alex frowning."If you really loved her you would be able to feel Angelina's feelings for you, and you would know the answer, whether she would accept you again or kick you out of her life," Dominik explained.Alex was silent for a long time. He thought hard and remembered little by little about the days he had passed together with Angelina.Alex felt that what his father said was right. If Alex really loved Angelina he
After Louis and the others left, there was silence in Angelina's ward.Angelina chose to remain silent. She wanted to discuss it with Emily but she was already insecure because Emily had said her opinion earlier, that she did not expect her to return with Alex.No different from Angelina who kept feeling reluctant, Emily also chose to remain silent because she was worried that if she talked too much it would add to Angelina's burden of mind. Moreover, she has already argued about her objection to her best friend accepting Alex's invitation to get back together.Angelina pulled the blanket up more, until it covered her chest, if earlier it only covered her stomach."Rest, Angelina, I will accompany you here and I will not let them bother you," Emily said to reduce awkwardness."Thank you, Emily. If you're tired you can come up next to me, we can lie down together. This bed is quite spacious," Angelina replied.Yes, in the VIP ward, the beds were wider and could have been used by two pe
"Please help Alex up!" Caroline called out to anyone willing to help her. However, before his mother could touch her, Alex raised her hands in the air to signal his mother not to approach him."Nobody comes near me! No need to help me!" Alex exclaimed in a stern tone."Angelina, I know and I am very aware that I have hurt you a lot. I know I'm selfish if I keep asking you for a chance again and again. But, I can't just let you go either. You can be angry and hate me, but you have to believe me that I really love you. I don't think of you as someone else's shadow at all. You are you, Angelina Brigitte, the woman who healed my wounds and accepted my flaws."Kneeling on the cold floor of the air-conditioned room, barefoot, Alex spoke thus."I regret, really regret my stupidity because again I was deceived by that damn woman, I never thought Camila would cooperate with Roy, that's because I was very weak and I underestimated the enemy too much. But I promise I will be stronger from now on
Angelina didn't answer Alex's question, the girl kept looking away, not wanting to look at Alex at all."Angelina, why won't you look at me? Are you angry with me?" Alex asked again because Angelina never answered."Alex, go back to your ward. Both you and I need a good rest, so get out of here and let me rest," said Angelina, glancing at Alex and then looking away again."Can you all get out and leave me alone with Angelina?" Not caring about Angelina who kicked him out, Alex just asked everyone to come out. And that made Angelina gasp."I asked you to come out, why are you kicking everyone out, Alex?" protested Angelina."If you don't want to talk in front of everyone, then let everyone out. Let's talk alone," Alex said. "I have a lot to talk to you about, and I'm sure you have some things to tell me too, right?" Alex continued."I'm not going to leave you two here alone. The others can go out, but I will accompany Angelina here," said Emily who did not want to leave the two of them
"Angelina, please don't be like this. Don't do this, you can't be like this, stop, Angelina!" Emily shrieked at the sight of Angelina who was on a rampage, throwing everything that was attached to her. The girl had reached the peak of patience, now she was desperate."Go, Emily, get out of my way, just let me die. I've lost my baby. I've lost the life I longed for, everything has perished, and even happiness has left me. Suffering after suffering keeps coming and going, I'm tired, and I can't take it anymore. I want to see Mum and William, let me follow them to God's side!" Angelina was ranting and raging uncontrollably. But because Angelina's body was still weak, Emily had little trouble dealing with her best friend."Don't ever say that, Angelina, don't be stupid! Happiness doesn't leave you, it's just that it will come at the right time, believe me. If you believe in God then believe that God will give you what you need!" Emily spoke in a high tone to wake up her best friend."Then
