"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
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
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
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. "
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
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
"Gama, here's a cheerful letter for you to sign." Audie, Gama's mother-in-law, placed a 4A sheet of paper on the coffee table in her home. Across the table sat a man wearing casual clothes. "Divorce? What does that mean?" Gama Immanuel was shocked as he stared in disbelief at Audie and his wife, Sierra. "You don't understand what I'm saying? Then you don't need to understand it; you better sign it now; after that, I will have the freedom to match my daughter with a man who is much better for me. Raising my status to a high level. Unlike you, the poor failed man who has brought disgrace to my entire family!" The words were jarring to hear. "Disgrace?" Gama furrowed his brows. "Is that what you have in mind for me?" Back when they were first married, Audie and her late husband were in debt due to gambling losses; it was Gama who saved them. And now that Gama was left with nothing after three years of his company going bankrupt, his mother-in-law kicked him out today. "Of course,"
"Realize Barbara, Gama may look bad right now, but who has helped our family? Who has kept me patient and mentally strong since Grandpa and Dad died? Gama has always been there for me. Not just for me, she's been there for everyone in this house, including you, your husband, and your son. Do you see her? No, you didn't! You were blind to it, blind to everything Gama did. You can't see it because of your selfishness!" Sierra forgot all her emotions. Until her breath caught. Then Sierra continued. "And now, when Gama has a problem, you demean and insult her. You even want her to leave this house. Don't you have a heart and feelings for her? You only think about your reputation. You're such a hypocrite!" "Siera!" shouted Audie. PLAK... A hard slap landed on Sierra's cheek, leaving regret on Audie's face. "Si-Sierra ...." Gama was quite surprised to see her. She wanted to go to Sierra but decided against it when she heard Sierra speak again. "Slap! Slap Sierra again ma'am! And may t

"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
