After returning from her activities, meeting Jordan, then meeting Zean's CEO to confirm Giorgio's case, and reviewing the project site, Sierra returned home dragging her feet slightly due to her fatigue.Upon arriving home, she was surprised by Jordan's presence to fulfill the dinner invitation made by her mother and older sister, Barbara."Sierra, you're home at last." Her sister and mother warmly welcomed Sierra's arrival. "Come sit down, let's eat together," Sierra's mother said, asking Sierra to sit beside Jordan.Sierra understood the purpose and intent of the shrimp dinner that her mother and sister were having, and it was none other than the house.You must know why I invited Jordan for dinner, so you don't need to be confused like that." Barbara said when she saw the confusion on Sierra's face."Sierra expressed her discomfort honestly to her mother and sister. "Mom, sis, didn't we discuss this, so why are you still doing this?" she said in a slightly sharp tone but kept her e
The well-built man smiled slightly, realizing the tension and suspicion arising from Barbara's question. "I apologize for coming unannounced. My name is Alex, and I do have business dealings with your mother. There's nothing to worry about," he said, trying to calm the atmosphere.Jordan, who had noticed the man's arrival from the start, began to feel uneasy. Although Alex tried to convey his presence in a calm and controlling manner, there was something about the way he spoke, and the presence of his men that implied their business was more than just a meeting of friends."Business matters? At this time of night?" Jordan couldn't hide his suspicion.Alex turned his gaze to Jordan, smiling. "Ah, forgive my impoliteness. Our business is indeed urgent and requires your mother's immediate attention. We hope not to be too intrusive."Trying to save the situation, Audie hurriedly added, "Yes, that's right. Just a little unfinished business. We'll get it done quickly; no need to worry."How
Alex looked at Audie; and then his gaze shifted to Barbara and Sierra. "It's not about what you have materially, but rather what you can offer in other ways. There may be a way for us to work together, a deal that can benefit both parties."Hearing that, Jordan reacted immediately, "We're listening, but I want to make sure that whatever the deal is, it won't hurt this family further."Alex nodded, "All I need is one of your daughters, I think they are very beautiful. Especially her." Alex looked at Sierra with a look that was hard to interpret."You want my daughter as collateral to settle a debt? Don't be crazy, Alex!" Audie roared. He stood up and looked at Alex angrily.Sierra was equally surprised to hear that and even scared by Alex's request. She felt uncomfortable with the uninterpretable gaze thrown at her. Barbara was also surprised and angered by the unreasonable request."Are you serious?" asked Barbara in a trembling voice. "You can't just take one of us to fulfill a deal.
Gama returned after being ordered to guarantee Giorgio's freedom, but in the end, he did not and let Gama go through the investigation process. Of course, Audie and Barbara greeted Gama's return with cynical looks. Audie approached Gama and slapped Gama quite hard. Plak! Gama, who didn't know anything, was shocked to get this treatment. "What's wrong mom, why did you slap me?" With a shocked and slightly annoyed face, he waited for an explanation from Audie. "Where have you been? Just leaving without thinking about Sierra's condition. What kind of husband are you?" Audie asked in an accusatory tone. Gama frowned at the question, which was quite strange to him. "Mom, you're not the one who told me to leave and not come back before Giorgio is free. Now why are you asking me, and what happened to Sierra?" asked Gama in surprise. She waited for Audie's explanation of what happened to Sierra, as she knew nothing about the situation. "Sierra was taken away by a man named Alex." Jorda
Gama arrived at the villa quickly and went straight inside. There was a fight between Gama and Alex's men until Gama managed to get into the room where Alex kept Sierra. Gama entered by breaking down the door, Brak! "Get away from her, you bastard!" That surprised Alex, especially when Gama pulled her up, threw her against the wall, and landed hard on the floor. Alex was in a lot of pain from that. "Bastard, who are you to come to my place!" Alex roared while trying to stand up. Gama ignored Alex, his eyes focused on Sierra, who was still unconscious. And making sure the girl was okay. "Sierra, wake up; I came to save you," Gama said as she tried to wake Sierra up. Moments later, Sierra woke up. "Are you okay?" asked Gama, Sierra surprised but relieved by Gama's arrival, nodded, "I'm fine, Gama. Accounts are scared." Sierra rushed to hug Gama's body. "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." Gama tried to reassure Sierra. Alex was getting angry at being ignored. "Hay, how d
"There is a big secret that no one knows about, and that is Sierra's true identity." Gama said it in a firm tone, knowing full well that the information he had could change things, not only for himself but also for Sierra and the Maheswara family. "The big secret about Sierra's identity?" asked Lopiyu, her curiosity piqued. "What do you mean by that? And how do you know something so secret?" Gama took a breath, preparing himself to explain further. "Some time ago, when I was in the same place as Kak Maheswara, he received a call. He thought no one was listening. In the conversation, he mentioned about a very important family secret that only the head of the family knew, which had to do with Sierra." "Grandpa Maheswara was unaware of my presence, and accidentally, I heard everything. He mentioned that Sierra has a very different real identity from what people know. That she wasn't actually..." Gama paused, searching for the right words. "Not Audie Maheswara's biological daughter."
Gama took a deep breath before continuing, carefully measuring his words to ensure his message came across clearly and to the point. "I need your help," Gama said seriously. "There is someone who means a lot to me who is currently in critical condition and needs an immediate blood transfusion. He needs a blood group, Rh-null, or what is often referred to as 'Golden Blood'. Your network is extensive, and you can help me find a suitable donor." "You come here, to my territory, risking your life just to ask for help with something that is not for nothing a crime that I have to commit?" she asked, wanting to make sure that he understood. "Exactly," Gama replied, "It is a life that cannot be replaced with money or anything else, not even my own. I will do whatever I can do." The gangster leader thought for a moment before finally nodding slowly. "You came to the right place once, I will help you. I will use all my resources to find the donor you need. But remember, this is not an easy t
At the hospital, Jordan was seen showing his concern for Sierra who was still lying unconscious on the hospital bed. In a soft and hopeful voice, he said, "Sierra, hang in there. My men are looking for a blood donor for you. You must survive, I will do everything for you."Beside Jordan, Audie was sitting with a face full of confusion. "Mom, what's wrong? Why do you look so worried? Trust me, Sierra will be fine," Barbara said, worried about Audie's condition.Without answering Barbara's question, Audie moved to leave but was held back by Barbara. "Mom, where are you going?""I'm just leaving for a while, take care of your sister," Audie replied quickly before leaving.Barbara watched Audie's quick departure with confusion. Audie, with an anxious heart, went to see the doctor to discuss Sierra's blood type difference with her family. He hoped the doctor would be able to give a satisfactory explanation and ease his worries. In his anxious state, Audie hoped to get an answer that would
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
