Lopiuy turned his head and saw Ricky standing nearby with a worried look.

"Ricky?" Lopiuy tried to smile even though his heart was still heavy. "What are you doing here?"

"I was looking for you," Ricky replied, sitting beside Lopiuy. "I was worried about you. You were out alone at this time of night."

Lopiuy sighed, trying to hold back the tears starting to well up in the corners of his eyes. "I just needed some time to myself. Too much has been going on lately."

Ricky nodded, understanding. "I know. But you don't have to face everything alone. I'm here for you."

Lopiuy looked at Ricky, feeling the warmth of his words. "Thank you, Ricky. I'm fine," he said with a faint smile, though his eyes still hinted at sadness.

Ricky took Lopiuy's hand, looking at him with concern. "We all need someone to lean on. Never hesitate to ask for help," he said softly.

Ricky noticed the difference between the assertive, ambitious Lopiuy during the day and the fragile, lonely Lopiuy at night, like

    "You?" Ricky stared in surprise at the woman who had just arrived. That woman was none other than Barbara. "Miss Barbara, why are you here?" asked Lopiuy, surprised. "I followed you, Ricky, because I believed you were going to see Lopiuy," Barbara replied in a firm tone. "Followed me? Why would you do that?" asked Ricky, confused. "For my sister Clarissa's happiness, of course. You know that Clarissa likes you, right? I'm going to fight for her happiness," Barbara said, her eyes burning with determination. "And you, Lopiuy, solve your problem with Jordan first before thinking of taking the man my sister loves. Do you understand?" Barbara left with a scathing glance at Lopiuy. Lopiuy fell silent, feeling the hard blow of Barbara's words. Ricky looked at her with guilt and confusion. "Lopiuy, I had no idea that Barbara would come and say all that," he said, trying to ease the tension. Lopiuy swallowed, trying to hold back tears. "Ricky, I don't want to cause trouble between you.

    The next day, Lopiuy met with Ricky again in his office to discuss the inauguration of the cooperation between Featherston and the company where Ricky worked."Good afternoon," greeted Ricky politely as he entered the room."Good afternoon, please take a seat, Mr. Ricky, we'll go straight to discussing the continuation of our cooperation contract. Since everything has been finalized, the company will hold a ceremony. The company will invite some of our coworkers, and you may also invite the important people in your life if you wish," Lopiuy explained, remaining professional despite the tension behind his eyes. "If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact my coworkers. Since I still have some other work to do, I'll take my leave," he added.Ricky looked at Lopiuy with mixed feelings. "Thank you, Lopiuy. I understand."Lopiuy nodded briefly, then turned and left the room. When the door closed behind him, he let out a long breath, trying to compose himself. Meeting Ricky was

    Meanwhile, elsewhere, Clarissa deliberately came to the office where Ricky worked to apologize. She felt this was necessary to clarify the situation and reduce the tension. After venturing into the magnificent office building, Clarissa approached the reception desk. "Good morning, I'm Clarissa. May I see Mr. Ricky?" she asked politely. The receptionist smiled kindly. But she couldn't mask a scathing look at Clarissa's condition, "Sure, please wait a moment, I'll call him." Shortly after, Ricky emerged from the elevator, surprised to see Clarissa. "Clarissa, what's wrong? What brings you here?" he asked, trying to sound casual despite the worry in his eyes. Clarissa smiled weakly. "Ricky, I want to talk to you. Can we talk somewhere quieter?" Ricky nodded and led Clarissa into the small living room of the office. Once seated, Clarissa began carefully, "I want to apologize for the whole mess. I know my sister, Barbara, overreacted. I never meant to make you feel uncomfortable." Ri

    "For everything, for your relationship with Ricky, and also what my brother did, I'm really sorry to you," Clarissa said sincerely, her eyes full of regret. "No, it's not your fault. I should be the one thanking Miss Barbara for telling me in the first place. I don't want to make the same mistake a second time." smiling softly. "But Ricky likes you, not me," Clarissa replied in a low voice. "And I will help you win his love," Lopiuy replied firmly. "So what about you?" asked Clarissa hesitantly. "Me, I don't know yet. What is clear is that I still want to be alone first," said Lopiuy, trying to smile despite his heavy heart. Suddenly, a cold voice broke into their conversation. "Are you still hoping to get my husband?" Mira came over and interrupted their conversation. Her face showed clear dislike. "No, Mira. I don't expect anything from him. I just want to live my life without conflict." "Good. Because Jordan is mine now, and I won't let anyone interfere with us." she laughe

    "I know, and I won't force you either. Didn't I ask you not to care about me in the first place? So even if you want to give up now, I suggest you do it now. I don't want the pain of expecting something from you, Ricky," Clarissa said in a firm voice despite her trembling heart. "I'm sorry, I've hurt you." he looked at her regretfully. Clarissa shook her head slowly, trying to hold back the tears in the corners of her eyes. "It's not your fault, so don't apologize to me. I hope you can find your happiness, and I'll try to find mine, too." "Clarissa, I appreciate your feelings. I want to give you a chance," she said as she took a deep breath, feeling heavy and mixed. Clarissa smiled. "We're old enough to understand that love doesn't always work out. I'll be fine, Ricky. Focus on what makes you happy." Ricky nodded, feeling relieved even though his heart was still heavy. "Thank you, Clarissa. But allow me one more chance." Clarissa nodded slowly. "Of course, Ricky. I'll still give

    Gama saw the anxious look on Sierra's face and instantly realized that something urgent had happened. "What's wrong, Sierra? What's going on?" "I..." Someone approached them with a big smile before Sierra could say what she wanted. "Congratulations on your cooperation with The QRI company, Mr. Gama," the man said as he shook Gama's hand. Gama smiled and nodded politely. "Thank you very much. We hope this will be the beginning of a mutually beneficial relationship." Sierra stood aside, frustrated that she had been unable to tell Gama about the important thing she had just heard. However, she realized that Gama had to serve the guests as the host. The man continued, "I believe this cooperation will bring many benefits to both parties. I hope we can also work together when the opportunity arises." "Of course," Gama replied. "We are looking forward to future projects." After a few minutes of conversation, the man finally left them to talk to the other guests. Sierra immediately saw

    "Yes, Clarissa. Getting married also requires a partner, it's not an easy thing to do. If we have to match Lopiuy, we also have to find a good man. Don't let the same mistake happen again," Audie explained. Clarissa took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "I'm giving such advice because I've already found the right match for Lopiuy. He's a kind, caring man, and he loves you too." Sierra, who understood who Clarissa was referring to, let out a long sigh. "The man you're referring to is Ricky, Clarissa?" "What? Ricky? Don't be stupid, Clarissa! He's not the man you love. Why would you give him to someone else?" snapped Barbara in a high tone. Clarissa gave Barbara a stern look. "Sister Barbara, now I ask you. How would you feel if you were married or in a relationship with a man who didn't love you? Would you live a happy life? Of course not. That's how I would feel if I married Ricky. I would have been tormented by being married to a man who didn't love me at all, and even

    "Ricky, what are you talking about? What does family mean?" asked Clarissa in a sharp tone. "I'm going to marry you." looked at Clarissa seriously. Clarissa reacted immediately. "Stop, stop the car. Mom, help me get out of this car," she begged Audie. "Clarissa, wait. What's wrong with you? Isn't this what you wanted? You love me and we're getting married. Why do you seem to dislike it?" Ricky tried to calm Clarissa, who looked very disturbed. Clarissa let out a long breath, trying to calm herself down. "It's okay. I'm fine, but please don't talk about marriage for now. Because I'm not thinking about it at all." "Why?" Ricky asked in a confused tone. Sitting next to Clarissa, Audie answered in a soft but firm voice, "Because Clarissa will be focusing on her treatment." "Treatment?" Ricky was surprised. "Yes," Clarissa replied, "I'm going to go for treatment. And only me and mom will be going." "When are you going?" looked at Clarissa anxiously. "As soon as possible," Clarissa

    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.
