2022-03-14 20:08:00After Adrian left, Diana moved, sitting on the favorite sofa while watching the raindrops begin to subside.
It's for the best, she muttered to herself. One day Adrian will realize that what Diana has decided is for his own good.
Adrian deserves to find a woman who loves who he really is, not a woman who doesn't even know who he loves now. Even though for some reason her heart hurts, it hurts and is tight, like a broken heart.
Diana sighed, leaning back on the sofa. Then suddenly Adrian's last sentence before leaving rang in her head, suddenly appeared.
You will get what you want, Diana, a world without me in it and I will take Brandon's heart with me.
A bad premonition immediately overtook her, causing her to sit up straight with wide eyes, her heart pounding. Suddenly with fast steps, Diana grabbed her jacket and rushed out of the apartment, gasping for air and tears streaming down her face.
Adrian! Diana called out, with all the horr

"This is your older brother." Mrs. Dewi pointed to the skinny boy in the photo, who was cradled by his father. She looked at Kat sadly. “I wish I'd had the chance to tell you about it from the start, Kat, but you're already living a happy new life. Since your parents decided to protect you by not sharing any information, it prevents me from interrupting your life with this truth.”Mrs Dewi took a deep breath and then continued, “Your brother was three years old when the accident that gave you both parents happened. You two were put in this orphanage together. Unfortunately, your brother is too old and children who are too old are rarely in demand for adoption here. In the end your brother had to part with you because your adoptive parents chose you for adoption.” Mrs. Dewi looked at Kat gently. “Despite being apart, I know your brother will always love you. He live and grew up here. We schooled him and he was very good at it. In the

"So my brother Brandon is Brandon who also donated his heart?" Kat was shaking uncontrollably, already knowing the answer even though she herself was unable to accept the truth.“Yes and, it turns out you already know. Brandon kept his decision a secret. One day he came and asked for my autograph, as a member of the family who would take care of all permits for him, because he signed an agreement to donate his heart when he died. At that time I asked him why he thought that way. Very rarely do humans think about donating their organs with the thought that if they die later it will be useful for other people. Moreover, a man like Brandon who is still young, everyone would think that he would still have a long life.” Mrs. Dewi sighed. “Maybe it was more like a hunch.”Kat's blood seemed to be receding from her head missing somewhere. Her whole body was cold, making Dean anxious and squeezing her fingers gently."Are you all right, Kat?" Dea

They arrived at the deserted cemetery, a quiet cemetery that was beautiful and neatly arranged. Dean got out of the car first, then took Kat's arm to get off with him. They walked in silence, following the directions Mrs Dewi had given them and found Brandon's grave. Then the grave was there, with the tombstone bearing Brandon's name and an excerpt of a heartbreaking farewell poem on it. You and I, us. Purer than romantic literary passages, although our story is not as beautiful as love in history, But that promise accompanied by a beating heart is only ours. And even though the beating was gone, this love will always be awake. Love you always, Diana This is an excerpt of Diana's feelings for Brandon. Kat's mind suddenly touched, it was so painful. Brandon, the older brother she never knew, until now, has a girlfriend who loves him very much and vice versa. Kat pondered. So

Diana's steps immediately stopped, she was stunned and then looked at Kat sadly. There's that guy, Dean, the guy who meets her on campus and reveals everything to her. The man was now standing next to Kat, his arm around her as if to support her. What should she do now? But at the same second, Kat turned and looked at Diana who was standing stunned at the end of the corridor. The woman looked just as surprised as Diana. Her expression turned deathly pale, while Diana herself stood there confused, not knowing what to do or say. Meanwhile, Clarissa turned to the frozen Diana and gave a confused look, but then she didn't care. She quickly took Diana to come closer. "Doctor, is it my friend Adrian over there?" Clarissa mumbled quickly, interrupting the conversation of the doctor who seemed to be explaining something to Kat. The doctor turned his head, looked at Clarissa in bewilderment, while Diana stood behind her with a bright red face. The doct

"Are you okay?" Dean whispered softly to Kat, glancing slightly at Clarissa and Diana who were sitting a little further across in silence.Kat gave Dean a meaningful look and then took a deep breath. "I am alright. I'm more concerned about Adrian's condition because he hasn't woken up yet."“Adrian must be fine. You heard what the doctor said, right?" Dean looked thoughtful, but then he asked, “Why did you tell the doctor that you are Adrian's fiancé? Are you—?" Dean swallowed his saliva, “Do you still feel in your heart that you are Adrian's fiancé, still hope that your engagement will continue?”There was a bit of bitterness there, in Dean's voice, having made his feelings for Kat so open. He didn't hide his jealousy either.Kat shot him a stern look. “By claiming to be his fiancé, the doctor would consider me family, so he would provide me more detailed information.”Dean stare

"We actually want to bring Adrian back to Jakarta," Adrian's mother muttered after hearing the doctor's explanation. Adrian's parents sat at the table in front of the doctor's desk, while Kat and Dean sat in the available chairs in the back, against the wall.The doctor shook his head. “I think the patient should stay here until he recovers properly. You can take him home afterwards."Adrian's mother took a deep breath, she really wanted to bring him home. Being in this city seems to have really made Adrian far from his family. Since she forced him to accept Kat, her relationship with him has been strained. Her only son stayed away, hardly ever calling her unless absolutely necessary.Adrian's mother knew she was pushing him too much. Her eyes glanced at Kat who was sitting there, looking just as worried as her cousin who was accompanying her. Don't all moms in the world want to have a daughter-in-law like Kat, such a beautiful and kind-hearted daughter-in

Adrian frowned when he saw Kat enter. The woman pulled up a chair and sat beside the bed.“Hi, how are you feeling?”Adrian tried to smile even though it hurt. "Dizzy," he mumbled briefly. "Thanks for being here, Kat."This time it was Kat's turn to smile bitterly. “I know I'm not the person you want to be here, but I want to be here, Adrian. I want to make sure you're okay. You know that I'm really worried about you, aren't you?”Adrian took a deep breath. "Thank you, Kat. I—I think I'm fine.”"Your leg is broken and in a cast." Kat glanced at Adrian's leg, which was in a large cast.Adrian glanced in the same direction and sighed. "Well, yes, I guess I'll have to carry that cast around with me later.""You're not going anywhere." Kat half smiled. "The doctor said you should use a wheelchair for a while until your leg heals."That means Adrian will become an invalid human who depends on othe

All eyes immediately turned to Diana, making her feel incredibly awkward. Kat herself looked calm. The woman smiled and walked over to Diana."Come on, Diana, I'll introduce you to Adrian's mother and father," she muttered quickly, grabbing Diana's hand until she let go of Clarissa who was still sitting in shock. Diana faltered following Kat's footsteps who grabbed her arm.“Mother, father, this is Diana. You must have heard her name from Adrian.” Kat smiled brightly, then patted Diana on the shoulder. “Come on, go in there, the doctor will definitely allow us to add one more person to visit Adrian, especially if we know that it will have a good effect on his recovery.”Everyone was still dumbfounded in the awkward atmosphere, except for Kat who wore a cheerful face, as if there was nothing strange behind this atmosphere.Adrian's father then realized and tried to break the awkward atmosphere. "I'm Adrian's father," he mumbled, hol

"Are you okay?" Reeves asked the woman beside him who had been silent for a while with a sad face, occasionally glancing at the wounds on Reeves' body.Reeves chuckled. "You have to look at yourself. You're hurt too, Vida. Don't worry too much about me. I'm fine."Vida immediately looked away and rubbed the corners of her eyes. Her whole body was screaming in pain, but the injuries to Reeves' body were so much worse that the pain Vida was suffering seemed to be nothing.“Take it easy. Soon the doctor will come to examine us again.”Vida laid her body tensely on the hospital bed which felt very uncomfortable.

The wind blew the blinds on the open windows. The breeze was cool and immediately hit Mira's face who was sitting on her bed with a blank stare at the cotton tree outside, where two birds were making nests—picking up small branches and arranging them on one of the tree's branches. Apparently, the two birds are a couple, who are building a house for their future children.The birds then reminded Mira of her relationship with her husband. Which over the years has cooled and cannot be called fine. They too used to be like the bird, building their harmonious home for their dear son; Reeves. However, all of that was broken like a storm and rain which one day would also hit the bird's nest on the cotton tree, the presence of an illegitimate child, who Mira never suspected existed.As a result of all that, she became like this.

A few moments later, Roy Wijaya's assistant came after completing the administration. He also informed that Miss Vida has been transferred to the VIP room which is the best service in this hospital.“Master, Miss Vida has already been transferred to the VIP room. Are you going to see her for a bit?” reported the assistant to Roy Wijaya.“Is Miss Vida awake? I will ask her a little information," asked the policeman then took out his notebook.The assistant turned to Roy Wijaya intending to ask his permission whether he could tell the police or not. Roy Wijaya just nodded in agreement."Yes, Miss Vida is awake and she was taking her medicine earlier," replied the assistant. He then invited Roy Wijaya to walk first.The three of them then walked to the top floor, which is a special VIP room floor using the elevator for guests. When they got there, they saw Vida had

Their trip was fine at first. Reeves with a cool style while driving while Vida with a happy face because she will eat food which is one of her favorites. Until suddenly a truck came from behind. It looks like the truck had a brake failure and at high speed descended the downhill road. The truck crashed into the car that was being ridden by Reeves and Vida unavoidably. Due to the force of the collision, the rear body of the car was badly damaged and both their heads bounced forward and hit the windshield. The seat belts managed to keep them from hitting the windshield and shattering them and throwing their bodies forward, which has been confirmed that down there is a ravine, with very hard and sharp rocks down there.Reeves' car horn blared as his cheek pressed against the center of the steering wheel causing the noise. However, it was thanks to the noise that people who were around the scene ran towards the accident. They wanted to help the two of them but both

Vida couldn't believe what she heard with her own ears. She even banged her ears for fear of having trouble with her ears. Reeves who was annoyed to see the girl's behavior restrained her hand so as not to hit her head again.“If you want to hit your head, at least not in front of me!” said Reeves curtly. Vida pouted. She became awkward again when she realized Reeves' hand was holding hers. Likewise with the man who did not realize that he had touched her without his permission. He finally let go of the hand of a woman who would easily smile if she saw something she thought was funny.“I apologize for what I said a few days ago. I was a little too much at the time," said Reeves shyly admitting his mistake."A little? You say a little too much? You've hurt my feelings so much. Do you know that, Mr. Reeves Wijaya?” Vida sarcastically let out the feelings in her heart.&ldq

A few dozen minutes later Reeves' car stopped on a hill with a fairly large parking lot. Not many people were there. Just a few people with their partners. It's the same with the two of them who came in pairs."What place is this?" Vida looked through the windshield to see the place they had visited that night.Reeves half holding back his smile. "You'll find out later. Come on down," he muttered in his usual flat tone for Vida."I don't want to. Until you answer my question, I'm not getting out of the car. Answer quickly! What place is this? Why did you bring me here?" Vida asked just as stubbornly. She folded her arms in front of her chest.Reeves rolled his eyes. "Just come along, Vida, I won't do anything bad to you if you're worried about that." The man was silent for a moment. "Or do you want us to stay here all night?" He shrugged. "I don't mind, you know."Vida is s

Holding back his anger, Liam intends to follow Reeves, who is taking Vida to the rehab where Vida's father is being treated. He could have been made to lose steps from his half-brother. If this continues, that girl's heart might be stolen by that damn Reeves. This cannot be tolerated. As long as he was still breathing, he would keep trying to get Vida's attention at all costs.

Only Reeves and Vida were in the room. Vida observed him leaning casually on the door. The man now looked as usual, looking handsome. The girl's eyes traced his lips and then her cheeks flushed red as the memory of her kiss with him on the balcony hit her straight away. Reeves seemed to know what was on Vida's mind. Maybe because he saw her cheeks suddenly turn bright red."Would you like to go with me?" suddenly Reeves asked. "You don't have anything to do this holiday, do you?"In fact she have. Vida wants to visit her father in rehab while today is a holiday. "No, I have something to do."Instantly Reeves gaze sharpened. "You're going with Liam?"Vida frowned. "No. I don't even know where Liam is. I'm going to visit my father.""In rehab?" Reeves looked thoughtful for a moment. "I'll take you," he continued later, in an undeniably firm voice."No need!" Vida half shouted to refuse. She couldn't imagine spending her day off with Reeves, le

Liam half slams the door to his room, his breath panting and he furrows his brows, actually frowning at the pain. Cold sweat ran down his forehead and he felt excruciating pain all over his body. Liam tried to catch his breath, but a rancid smell wafted from his nose filled with fresh blood, flowing non-stop until it reached frightening levels.He wiped the blood from his nose with his handkerchief, then threw the red handkerchief on the floor. His legs were shaking, he was shuffling trying to reach the bed, but apparently the bed was too far for him.His body fell to the floor, losing consciousness.When Liam opened his eyes, he was in a faint white room. His eyes blinked because of the light that contrasted with the darkness that always surrounded him. Having overcome the light, Liam looked around the room. The first thing he saw was Roy Wijaya. The old man looked somber, sitting in the chair next to his bed."Grandpa, you come back from London?"
