Alastor returns home at noon. At that time July had nothing to do but shut herself in the room to dismantle old objects. she did not hear Alastor's call looking for her. When he knocked on the door of July's room, from inside July gave a short answer. "Yes?” Hearing July's answer, Alastor opens the door of the room looking for July's figure. After his eyes swept through July's bedroom, he found July sitting in the corner of the room staring at him. “You're back?” “Yes. What are you doing?” Asked Alastor still standing in the doorway of the room. "Ohh, I'm just—" wait, it's meaningless to explain to Alastor too, July thought. “Hm, it's nothing." changed her mind. She got up and left her busy a moment ago, because Alastor had returned so July could do it another time. July approaches Alastor, taking him to the lounge. Alastor followed July where she was going, feeling that when left, she wanted to stay with him. Maybe there was something she wanted. “You came back sooner than I t
Alastor stared giddily at the surface of the table, his mind feeling tired. July's hand tightened. anxious to see the hue of Alastor's face. Feeling the attention of the woman who did not take off her hands made his heart ache, the treatment made Alastor more uncomfortable. “July, I'll go to the bathroom first.” Alastor gently let go of July's hand. But his intonation and facial expression were cold to her. July is disturbed by Alastor's change of attitude. On the other hand, Kate's eyes kept watching, July had to remain normal even though she was disturbed. maintained a smile, trying to calm down. Alastor passes away, July and Kate are left alone. July takes this opportunity to talk separately with Kate about things that she has not been able to tell Alastor. Maybe this is a little off the mark from what they were talking about. But still it is still related to the outpouring of heart that only she can share with her best friend Kate. July changed her sitting position closer to t
Whatever it is, don't know who is so adamant about ringing the bell of July's apartment without knowing how to give up until the residents of the house appear. “If it wasn't for the bell ringing, July and I might have been..” Alastor wailed as he walked toward the front door to greet someone outside. And when the door opened, the face he considered annoying continued to disturb the peace of his day since it appeared. "Hi! I brought a message." Joe extended a hand with a big smile and a cheerful tone of voice when the door finally opened. The face of whoever greeted him, whether it was July or Alastor, Joe would still show the same expression and words. Not surprisingly, Alastor's first impression of the man was not wrong. Until this moment Joe existen it remains annoying for him. "Message?” “Yes, Auntie told me to tell you that tonight we are having a family dinner.” Obviously flat. “What?” Alastor was dumbfounded that such a determined person would convey such a simple purpo
The movement of July getting closer to him made Alastor almost lose focus. He did not deny that he had thought of other things that should be currently listening to July's heartbreak story and not about other things. tried to calm the heart and the turmoil of desire within. The influence of drinking wine was probably what made him think in that direction. July continued. “You're right. Today I received a confession of love from Joe..” Alastor was not at all surprised to hear that. As he had previously told July about a man's gaze to a woman he loved from the way Joe looked at July, Alastor immediately understood what the look in his eyes meant. Every expression of his face, behavior and also Joe's speech. "Therefore.. I don't know how to behave with him.." July took a deep breath again, covering her face with both hands. “More than that I feel guilty about my abject attitude all this time that I didn't realize it..” Alastor took July by the side and spoke in a soft voice. "July, y
Luxury car has been parked in the apartment Argus baseman lived in this morning. As the man walked towards his parked car to go to work, a loud honking sound seized his attention. The sound, coming from a car with a number plate familiar to him, sent a signal for Argus to come without the owner or the driver of the car struggling to get out. Argus ' relaxed face instantly turned tired and depressed. An unexpected distraction this early in the morning spoils his day, mood and hectic schedule in the office. He had not yet come face to face with the unexpected visitor, but the head was already feeling tired. Argus arrived on the side of the car, right in the rear seat window. The glass of the car slowly went down, his ex—wife-Minerva was inside. "Argus Ride.” The order. Argus sighed heavily. In fact, he was too lazy to talk but he couldn't let Minerva treat him like that forever. “Come to me so early, what else do you want?" Argus said in a cold tone, sounding annoyed. “You want us to
The director's room is located on the top floor of the hospital building. And of course to get there they need to pass through limited access escorted by authorized. Likewise, the use of a special elevator to get to the director's office. So early in the morning the director was already in place and was now waiting for them, it was clear that this was planned. Not surprisingly, rumors about Minerva's pregnancy must have become a byword among her influential family, in power with high positions in various business sectors and professions. Argus knocked on the chamber door in front of him. From behind the door came the face of a man who came to the lobby of the Obgyn earlier, opening the door. "Please, Sir.” He said politely to let Argus in, as well as Minerva who did not let go behind. Argus ' facial expression grew harsh, flat, serious and cold when he was inside. Especially when he confronts the hospital director who is none other than Minerva's mother and his former mother-in-law
July goes up to the elevator to the top floor without a bad idea, that in the next few seconds she will have problems or unpleasant experiences. Just before the elevator door closed completely, Argus stood in front of the door making the sensor work and the elevator door automatically opened again. Argus came into the elevator with his eyes fixed on July. The dramatic arrival with that strange and awkward vibe made July instantly awake. Suddenly the atmosphere changed to horror, because of the unusual look in Argus's eyes. July's instinct of self-defense awakens her and all her senses signal her to be careful with Argus. It was just the two of them in the elevator. Although July's heart doubted he would do anything to her under CCTV surveillance in a working elevator. No communication happened there for a moment, July felt uneasy. Her eyes couldn't keep an eye out between the change in the floor number listed on the elevator door and the figure behind Argus who turned his back on her
After a long moment of silence, July finally stood up. Realizing the state of self is quite chaotic, she again feels angry and resentful. Even one button of her shirt was lost as a result of Argus ' rough treatment. July can't see Alastor in this state. And she must think of a way to go straight to her office without being seen by another co-worker in this kind of state. In her office there is always a pair of clothes, so she can change to a proper tshirt than the one she uses now. July bravely opened the door, leaving the room. Rushed towards her study by avoiding the attention of people around, very careful. Office space at lunch break is usually not many people, most employees must leave the desk for lunch. July made it safely to her room without attracting attention or arousing suspicion. At the office. the phone vibrates, its call from Alastor July rejects the incoming call. Instead, she sent a short message to him. July: I'll be right down, sorry to keep you waiting so lon
Minerva was on her way to an address, although the late night did not prevent her from meeting soon. She may appear to be unaffected by the school's decision, but the girl is also agitated, frantically searching for a way to solve the case that is dragging on her name. All the calmness of the face, the silence in her just a defensive bastion deliberately installed in front of friends. Fortunately, the case that happened at this school was only the secretary of her parents who knew the details of the case. If this news reached her parents, she would have received a punishment with the freezing of all facilities provided by now. Including mastercard, the use of mobile phones, internet facilities at home, as well as the imposition of curfews and restrictions on activities outside the home. Therefore, Minerva must solve this problem as soon as possible before her parents realize. About the reason for the move to school, she can make up stories to cover up. That's why Minerva dares to pay a
In front of the principal's meeting table with the ranks of teachers and staff for the umpteenth time again conferred on the topic of the sustainability of their school's fate. The atmosphere was heavy and serious, the headmaster even stood in front of the window to breathe fresh air, feeling tired from the discussion. Efforts to save the school fete almost dissolved it by changing the middle name in the administrative process stage. Starting from the new school year, their school will officially become a mixed public school which was originally Technical High School. But then another problem arises, transfer students who become the hope of a new breath in their school are even problematic types of outcasts. Principals are faced with the dilemma of whether to accept the students into their schools or reject them when they really need the capacity of the number of students that must be added to meet the minimum standards of the requirements proposed by the administration. “Mr. Principa
Whether this was an opportunity or a test, Joe could no longer tell which action was right in this situation. All he knows is that he wants to be with her under any circumstances. So his decision to accept July's request was not because he was on her side but so that he could stay by the side of his beloved woman. "Are you really going to stop this? He's leaving after your deal ends?" It's hard for Joe to trust July anymore. "Why would I lie about this matter to you after all you know the truth." July felt helpless. "Nothing happened between you? Is it true that only by agreement, you and the man are living a fake relationship?" "I'm telling the truth." July wants to cry already but she snaps it away. The same case for Joe actually. He tries to look strong till the end, at least in front of July right now. "I will keep your secret from Auntie and Uncle. When the time comes, you'll have to end all of this bullshit according to the agreement, July." "Really! you gonna do it for me,
Alastor petrified on the spot. The current state of affairs is strangely disorienting. He was supposed to be the one standing in front to protect July but what happened this time he was at a loss for words, unable to explain himself let alone defend or protect. At that moment, his confidence was gone in front of her family. With his status in the agreement on paper, Alastor is nothing, nobody who has the rights as Joe accuses him of. “You! Who the hell are you?" Joe was so intent on intimidating Alastor who had a pale face and a blank look in eyes. The man stood still though his shoulder was pushed hard, rudely by Joe but remained unmoved, silent. July couldn't stand to be there anymore, let alone see Alastor who turned helpless. Just as a guilty defendant is sentenced after a trial, unable to do anything. July pulls her cousin away from there. Right now the most important thing to do for Alastor is to calm Joe down, reassure him. "July! I'm not done talking to him! Hey—” “No, Jo
The party is over, the fun is over. July and the group must return to their busy daily routines, to their respective homes. “Kate, let Joe take you." Said July as soon as they arrived at the apartment. “It's okay, I can go home by myself.” Being in the city is certainly a lot of ways back home. And Kate doesn't feel comfortable with Joe right now. He has not yet given an answer about Kate's invitation to meet. “Why? Let Joe take you home." "No, it's okay.” When Kate insists on refusing, it feels strange that July keeps forcing her. While Joe kept his mouth shut, didn't seem to care. July thought things could go smoothly for both of them when July left them last night. Joe left the two friends, not going upstairs but somewhere. Meanwhile Alastor had gone away earlier, going upstairs with all their luggage. Kate waited for her taxi to arrive. “You two, really, what happened last night?" "There was nothing, July, really nothing happened.” “So?” “Our talks just didn't go smoot
Argus and Minerva lock themselves in hotel rooms all the time, all day along. As she persuades him to go out enjoying the facilities, filling their weekend time. Argus thought it would be safer and more comfortable for him to stay in the room, to avoid the eyes of anyone who might know them. As long as Minerva doesn't act like asking to do weird things with him in the room. The conversation is still going on, since yesterday they got there until days change. Minerva never tired of convincing Argus, pleading, asking in various ways. she gently touched the back of Argus who was sitting on the edge of the bed. In a low voice she tried to turn the hard heart of the man by her side. “If we don't get back together. My parents must have taken this baby as soon as born.” “Since I told you, I will take legal action.” He is firm on his stance. “Do you really think you can win against them?” “As long as you agree with me, help me, then there is still a way.” Perhaps Minerva's big family wil
Joe and Kate finally arrive at the resort after going through a dramatic reunion of their past stories. As soon as the car enters the yard, July and Audie are ready to welcome Kate's arrival. Warm hugs, cheerful mood instantly dominate the situation. While Joe still hasn't left his car, he takes the initiative to help Kate deal with her personal belongings. Unload the suitcase and take it inside. While the women are still cool exchanging news and connected with chat. “How was the trip? Must be tired huh?" Ask Audie to show attention to who has been so happy to see Kate since the wedding day. Kate couldn't let go of Audie's hand grip that was still tightly holding to move freely. There was a bit of awkwardness but Kate didn't try to dodge. “No Auntie, better than I thought. It's fun, probably because I don't travel much.” “Ohh really? Thank God..” “You came earlier than I thought!" July exclaimed, surprised. “Ah, that's why you really look like you just woke up July.” Kate teased
It was only yesterday that Joe resolved all the guilt that rested in his deepest heart to July. But Kate's circus speech reminds Joe back to himself who was determined to throw everything for the sake of being with July as family. Joe looked at her angrily. "If you get bored and play with me this way, think my situation is funny to you—“ Kate couldn't have been more receptive to Joe's treatment. “Why are you so tense and anxious? Ever since we met, your prickly attitude bothered me first.” Joe was at a loss for words to reply to Kate's remark. It was then that he realized what Kate was trying to point out about his own mistakes. Kate didn't stop there. “I should have asked. Are you like this because you're still bothered by—“ “No. Not at all." Joe hurriedly cut the word. His mind was filled with a burden that he could not share even with July. Strange Joe or indeed Kate who easily manipulates him so that Joe in a short time can be triggered emotionally like this. They haven't se
The drama last night. After Alastor is made to accidentally test patience by July, the two of them end up spending the first night together since knowing each other and living together. They both stayed up all night until dawn. The two were still too late in the room as the rest of the family prepared to start the day. Audie came back early among the others last night, enough early rest to keep her energetically fit this morning. With ingredients from yesterday's shopping, this morning Audie has mastered the kitchen to make a simple menu for their morning meal. "Morning, Auntie..” Joe's friendly greeting that has never been missed every morning since staying with Audie and Ben. “Good Morning!” Audie saw that Joe was looking very neat this morning. “You want to go?” “I'm going to get Kate.” “Oh, right." Audie forgot. “Fortunately, Auntie has made breakfast once. You have to fill your stomach before you go.” Joe nodded with a smile. Then Ben comes along with Pansy, quite obviously
