"What's wrong?" asked Lopiuy upon seeing Sierra's glum face. "Right now, the two are meeting in Lopiuy's apartment. And you don't usually come to my place of residence." Ask again "Do you feel strange about Clarissa?" asked Sierra in a worried tone. Staring at Lopiuy, who was serving Sierra a drink. Lopiuy sat beside Sierra and tried to understand the meaning of Sierra's statement, but she did not find anything suspicious. "I see Clarissa as trying to pay more attention to Gama," Sierra finally explained. "You mean, Clarissa didn't lose her memory and she was just circling around to get close to Gama?" Lopiuy tried to infer. "Yes, I think so," Sierra replied, her eyes full of worry. Lopiuy nodded in understanding. "I understand your concern, Miss. I will try to find out the truth. For now, I hope you will not show any suspicion towards him." "Thank you, Lopiuy. You are indeed reliable," Sierra said, smiling although there was still worry on her face. "By the way, how is your r
Sierra sat on the sofa carefully, her eyes looking at Gama with a mixture of tiredness and anxiety. Gama sighed long, trying to muster the courage to start the conversation. "Sierra, you seem different lately," she said slowly. "You've been daydreaming a lot, and something's not right. Please be honest with me, what is it?" Sierra bit her lip, seemingly hesitant to speak. After a moment, she finally answered quietly, "Gama, I'm... I'm hiding something from you." Gama felt her heart beat faster. "What is it, Sierra? You can tell me anything." Sierra looked down, seemingly struggling with her emotions. "I feel like something is wrong with Clarissa. Ever since she came here, I've noticed a change in the way she acts. She's gotten too close to you, and I feel like she's trying to manipulate the situation." Gama was surprised to hear that. "Clarissa? You mean, she's trying to get close to me in a way that she shouldn't?" Sierra nodded slowly. "I see her paying more attention to you. S
Sierra nodded slowly, her eyes still showing a deep doubt. "Be careful on the road," she said softly, refraining from asking further.After Gama's departure, Sierra felt that the house was getting quieter and quieter. She was still thinking about Gama's words, trying to figure out what really happened. However, her reverie was interrupted when the doorbell rang. Sierra rushed to open the door and saw her mother, Audie, standing in the doorway with a warm smile."Mom! It's so good to see you," Sierra greeted, trying to hide her anxiety."Good to see you too, Sierra," Audie replied as she hugged her tightly. "I happened to be nearby and decided to drop by. How are you?"Sierra sighed, trying to smile even though her heart was still filled with anxiety. "I'm fine. Come on in, we can talk inside."Audie followed Sierra into the living room and sat on the comfortable sofa. "Do you have something to tell me?" she asked, seeing that something was bothering her daughter.Sierra hesitated for
"Then who is she?" asked Gama, looking at Rizky curiously."She's Rebecca," Rizky replied calmly. "She's Clarissa's best friend. They grew up together in an orphanage.""Rebecca?" Gama was stunned. "If she's Rebecca, where's Clarissa?"Rizky sighed before answering, "If I may know, what is your relationship with Clarissa?"Gama was silent for a moment, considering what he should say. After a few seconds that felt like an eternity, he finally explained everything. "Clarissa is the biological daughter of Audie, my mother-in-law. We believe that Clarissa had an accident and lost her memory, and she has been living with us ever since. But now, I'm starting to doubt everything."Hearing Gama's explanation, Rizky began to understand the situation and felt sympathy. "If this is true, we have to expose Clarissa's lies," he said with determination. "Rebecca, or whoever she really is, can't keep deceiving you. We need to gather evidence and confirm the truth."Gama nodded in agreement, feeling
Ricky went to the orphanage with Gama. Both had come to find information about the real Clarissa."So you came to look for Clarissa and Rebecca?" asked the head of the orphanage with an astonished look, there was anxiety in his age-worn eyes. "Yes, that's right. We want to know where they went," Ricky explained."I don't really understand either. At that time, didn't you also come to pick up Clarissa? What about her condition? Did you manage to find her?" asked the head of the orphanage to Gama, who seemed quite focused listening to their conversation."You're right, I did find Clarissa and brought her to live with us. But there seems to have been a misunderstanding. It wasn't Clarissa who was with us, it was Rebecca," Gama replied."Rebecca?" the head of the orphanage gave a puzzled look."Yes, this is the girl who is with me now," Gama showed a picture of the girl he thought was Clarissa."You're right, she is Rebecca. She also left the orphanage on the same day Clarissa left. I als
"Sierra." Barbara called, walking over to Sierra.She sat beside Sierra and looked at her with compassion. "I understand how you feel," Barbara said softly."Understand?" asked Sierra, confused."Yes, I understand how you feel. Is there something wrong with what I said?""No, it's not wrong, if you didn't say it. We live and grow together every day, so I understand very well what you are like," Sierra said sarcastically. There was anger and disappointment in her every word."Yes, that's true. But I'm serious this time, Sierra.""Never mind sister, I know Clarissa is Mom's biological daughter, and I'm not, it's only natural that you'd take her side. But, you need to know, she..." Sierra pointed into the house. "She's not Clarissa. We've been deceived all along.""Not Clarissa? What are you talking about, Sierra? I know you hate her now, but you shouldn't talk like that. Did you forget, Clarissa lost her memory because of you, so it's only natural that you should be nice to her.""I rem
"No, I don't have it yet," Barbara said with some frustration."Well, we can discuss this later after Gama returns. I'm sure she has now gotten information that confirms who the girl is in there and where the real Clarissa is," Sierra said in a firm tone."You're right. Let's go in now. Don't make suspicious," Barbara replied. Barbara and Sierra then entered and joined Audie and the allegedly fake Clarissa. Audie turned around and saw them coming."Where have you been?" she asked with a suspicious look."From outside, ma'am," Barbara replied as she walked over and sat beside Audie."Oh? That's all right, then. Clarissa, get some rest. It's late, and you must be exhausted caring for the baby. Let me keep her company tonight.""Umm, no need, Mom. Let her sleep with me tonight. After all, she's my biological daughter," Sierra said in a firm tone."Alright, then. Get some rest, all of you; I'm going to rest too," Audie said as he got up from his seat and walked toward the room that had b
Rebecca wakes up gasping from her sleep, her heart racing after her nightmare. The dream reveals the secret of her true identity, and she faces dire consequences she never imagined.Staying in bed for a while, Rebecca tried to calm herself down. The dark room, lit only by the moonlight coming through the window, added to her gloom. The dream's shadow still haunted her mind, making her feel even more anxious and uneasy."It can't go on like this," Rebecca muttered. She knew that time was running out. If Gama found the evidence she feared, things would end badly for her.Rebecca exited her bed and walked towards the window, looking at the night sky. She knew that the only way to avoid the nightmare coming true was to take drastic measures.***Meanwhile, in the living room, Gama sat with Sierra, Barbara, and Audie, who had just returned home. Their tension was palpable. Gama had just explained her discovery, and their reactions were a mixture of disbelief and concern."We have to be car
Sierra looked at her mother with teary eyes. "But, Mom..."Audie shook her head. "There is no but, Sierra. I know your heart is broken, but I also know that Gama loves you. We've all made mistakes, but what matters is how we fix them."Sierra took a deep breath, feeling calmer in her mother's presence. "Alright, mom. But I need time to digest all this."Audie smiled gently and rubbed Sierra's head. "I understand, dear. I'll call Gama. Give her a chance to explain and make things right."Audie walked out of the room with calm but confident steps, leaving Sierra with her thoughts. Moments later, Gama came back in, her eyes still red and regretful."Sierra, I know I've let you down," he said hoarsely. "But I promise I will do everything I can to make things right. I love you more than anything in the world."Sierra looked up at Gama, seeing the sincerity and guilt in his eyes. She knew their journey to restore trust and love would not be easy, but she was confident they could get through
Clarissa turned her head, turned her wheelchair, and looked at Vicky softly. "Vicky, are you coming?""Yes, I'm coming. I want to accompany you for treatment," Vicky replied, her voice full of sincerity."Really? I'm glad to hear that. But I don't think it's necessary. I still have my mom to accompany me," Clarissa replied with a faint smile. Soon, Audie arrived, carrying their flight files."But, Clarissa-""No, Vicky," Clarissa cut in, her voice trembling. "I apologize for being selfish with you. You're right; someone like me doesn't deserve you. I'm just a disabled woman who has little chance of recovery. You deserve to live happily with the woman you love, Lopiuy."Vicky leaned closer, grasping Clarissa's hand gently. "No, I chose you, Clarissa. Not because I felt sorry or forced to, but because I love you."Tears began to well up in Clarissa's eyes. "But Vicky, life with me will be difficult. I don't want to be a burden to you.""Clarissa, you're not a burden. You are my reason fo
Rony looked boldly at Jordan. "Yes, my future wife. And I won't let anyone bother her."Jordan looked confused and angry. She let go of Lopiuy's hand reluctantly, but her angry gaze remained fixed on Rony. "Lopiuy, is it true what he said?" she asked in an incredulous tone.Lopiuy looked at Rony in confusion, but before he could answer, Rony said firmly, "Yes, it's true.""Lopiuy, I can prove it to you," Rony continued without giving Lopiuy a chance to speak. He pulled Lopiuy back into the car and drove off. Seeing that, Jordan did not remain silent, he followed them wherever they went.On the way, Lopiuy repeatedly asked, "Where are we going? What did you mean by that?" But Rony didn't answer at all. He continued to drive until he arrived at the district court."Rony, what are we going to do here?" asked Lopiuy in confusion."Get married," Rony replied briefly."Marry? To whom?" Lopiuy looked even more confused.Rony did not answer. He just looked at Lopiuy gently and took his hand. "
At this moment, Sierra and Gama were enjoying breakfast together. Not long after, the waiter came to announce the arrival of a guest."Madam, we have a guest.""Who?" asked Sierra."Mr. Rony," replied the waiter."Rony? Why is he here so early? Just kick him out," replied Gama in an annoyed tone."Gama, don't be like that. Just let him in," Sierra pleaded calmly."Yes ma'am," the servant replied, and left to carry out Sierra's orders. Not long after, Rony came to meet them."Good morning," Rony said kindly. However, Gama's look of dislike made Rony feel uncomfortable and bowed his head."Sorry, I...""Rony, why are you here?" Lopiuy suddenly arrived, immediately grabbed Rony's hand and led her away."Sorry, young lady, for disturbing you," Lopiuy said before the two of them left."Lopiuy, wait, let her-" Sierra tried to stop Lopiuy, but her voice was cut off by Gama."Honey, let it go. We'll talk about this tomorrow. We have to go now," Gama said as she gently took Sierra's hand.Sierr
However, Rony's laughter came to an abrupt halt when the car Lopiuy was traveling in came to a sudden stop. Lopiuy hit the brakes hard, causing their bodies to jerk forward. "What's wrong?" asked Rony, confused.Lopiuy turned sharply to him, his face showing the anger he had been holding back. "Can't you stop talking? I'm sick of hearing your nonsense. Now you better get out of my car."Rony was surprised to hear Lopiuy's cold and sharp tone. "But, Lopiuy...."Lopiuy didn't want to hear any excuses. "Get out!" he exclaimed in a voice that could not be denied.With a heavy heart, Rony opened the car door and got out, standing on the side of the road while Lopiuy immediately drove away without a word. Rony could only watch the car disappear in the distance, feeling a mixture of confusion, disappointment, and a little regret for perhaps pushing too hard on Lopiuy. However, underneath it all, he still hoped there would be another chance to get to know Lopiuy better, someday.Rony stood on
"Lopiuy," Jordan called in a voice that sounded desperate."What else? Please stop bothering me. How many times do I have to tell you this?" replied Lopiuy in an angry tone, trying to control her emotions.They were in the lobby of the apartment, Lopiuy tried to get away but Jordan kept urging her to come back with him. Jordan looked desperate, trying to grab Lopiuy's hand but was firmly rejected."Lopiuy, please listen to me. I still love you. I know I've made a lot of mistakes, but I'm willing to fix them," Jordan said with a trembling voice.Lopiuy let out a long breath, trying to control her anger. "Jordan, you've hurt me so many times. I can't go on like this. I need space and time for myself. You must understand that.""But, Lopiuy, we can fix things together. I can't imagine life without you," Jordan continued, her voice growing more distressed."No, Jordan. You have to understand that this isn't about us anymore. It's about me having to move on with my life. I need freedom and
"Rony? Why are you here? And how do you know my apartment room?" asked Lopiuy, surprised to see Rony standing at the door."Is it a miracle that I found your room? I don't think so. Because we're still in the same building. I can still explore the forest, how much more this place?" replied Rony casually."Alright, I understand. Now tell me quickly, what's wrong?" asked Lopiuy in a worried tone."Don't you want to offer to let me in? My legs are tired from standing all the time," Rony complained as he glanced at Lopiuy's apartment.Lopiuy sighed. "No, I...""OK, thanks," Rony cut in quickly, just walked in and sat down on the sofa. "I'm thirsty, don't you have anything to eat and drink?"Lopiuy closed the door irritably. "Rony, you can't just walk into someone's apartment without permission. This is my private place."Rony just smiled broadly. "Yeah, yeah, I know. But we're friends, right? So, I feel comfortable here."Lopiuy shook his head and walked into the kitchen. He picked up a b
"Ricky, you... you're still here?" asked Lopiuy in surprise when he saw that the man was still in the office. The meeting had ended two hours ago, and now, as Lopiuy prepared to leave, he still saw Ricky there."Yes, I was waiting for you to come home. I want to take you home together. Do you want to?" Ricky asked in an expectant tone."Go home together?" Lopiuy repeated his words, confused."Yeah, I wanted to ask you earlier, but I know we're still talking about work, so we shouldn't be talking about anything other than work. So, do you want to go home with me?" Ricky tried to explain.Lopiuy hesitated for a moment, searching for the right words. "Sorry, I can't, I..."Ricky stopped him with a pleading look. "Lopiuy, please, just this once. I promise after this I won't force you to go out with me again. We'll just have dinner, that's all. Nothing more."Lopiuy looked at Ricky, seeing the earnestness in his eyes. He knew that Ricky wasn't lying. Although his heart was still in doubt,
After traveling for a few minutes, the car driven by Lopiuy finally arrived at its destination. They both got out of the car and headed to the apartment where Rony would be living.Rony looked at the towering apartment building with a mixture of awe and anxiety. This was a new beginning for him, and although he felt grateful, there was also a sense of uncertainty that haunted him."This is the place," Lopiuy said nonchalantly. "The apartment is quite cozy and in a great location. You'll feel at home here. I also live here, I'm on the top floor, Apartment Suite Room."Rony nodded as he looked around. The neighborhood looked clean and organized, with green trees giving it a beautiful feel. "Thank you, Lopiuy. I really appreciate all your help.""Don't hesitate, Rony. Sierra and Gama want to make sure you have the best after all that has happened," Lopiuy replied with a smile. "Come, I'll show you to your room."The two of them then entered the apartment building. A spacious lobby with m
