28. A FRIEND THROUGH THE HIGH AND THELOWS
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Thanks. I'm glad I have you to help me," Serena said after taking a sip of her drink.
"Already. It's like whoever you're with. My brother said that the rash on your friend's skin will disappear in at least two months. Is that okay?"
Serena shook her head slowly, "Good then. They'll be disgusted with Lidya and won't want to make her again at Laura Club."
"Be careful, Serena. After this, don't get involved with that mafia team. Even though there's Jeno, I'm not so sure," Fina said, showing a worried look on her friend's face.
"Alright, take it easy. Pregnant women like you don't need to overthink," said Serena.
Shortly after the brief chat, Serena immediately said goodbye. It had been more than a month since the girl had to go back and forth to the hospital to see how Lidya was doing. At least Serena's friend is lucky because there are people sent by David who

Barra growled in his workroom alone. For some reason the more days the cold man always felt more and more attracted to the old feelings without his consent. He was even more confused when he saw the signs of his ex's closeness with David for the past month.“Good morning, Sir. Can I help you?" asks David who is already in front of him.Barra paused for a moment as he closed his mouth, “I don't have the right to ask ...Ah, forget it.”The assistant GM smiled. Barra too exalts his ego so that it discourages the intention to conduct a brief interrogation of David.“Do you want to ask about my relationship with Miss Rena? Don't you wonder why I called you that night?" David asked straight to the point.Instantly the face of Barra turned sour. Suddenly the man shook his head quickly."Forget it. I can't wait to kick her out of this room next month," said the GM immediately turning his eyes to the report file on the desk.

Serena almost lost her balance. The girl's phone almost bounced when she realized who was approaching her.Barra chuckled, "Can't you wait until your work is done? You don't get paid to call in between work!" The long-haired girl shook her head softly. She just resigned herself to her ex's strong grip on her right hand. It was useless to argue if, in the end, a stubborn man like Barra couldn't control his emotions. The eyes of the subordinates who saw the unusual scene could not escape their feet. Moreover, without compassion, Serena shuffled until she arrived in front of Ami's desk again."Can't you set a good example as an assistant? It's not even a problem to lie. What a crazy woman!!!" scolded the GM who immediately released her hold on the girl. Serena just grimaced softl

Serena immediately leaned her body against a shady tree in the city park. She used this day off to exercise. Her wet lips after sipping mineral water exudes the charm of a 28-year-old girl who is like an angel. The sweat that flooded her smooth skin added its beauty to all men who glanced at her. The girl's gaze turned to the cell phone in her left pocket."Hello, Beautiful Girl. How are you hmm?" greeted Serena with a smile. The video call revealed the gaunt face of Lidya, who was recovering in her hometown. Although she looks thin, the aura of happiness radiates from her beautiful face. Thanks to Serena, she and her lover were able to resume their previously complicated romance.["I miss you, when are you coming to see me?"]Serena laughed for a moment. Her left hand gently covered her mouth which continued to gape due to the absurd behavior of her friend who felt unusual.["I'm serious, you're coming with my hubby."]"Oh, so the nickname is 'hubby'?

Serena had screeched loudly several times, but her voice went unheeded by the group of violent-faced men who were nearby."You're trying to lie to me, aren't you? Where's Lidya?"Serena let out her breath slowly. Trying to think calmly before speaking so as not to misspeak something that would later harm anyone."Tell me where she is!""Shut up!! I'm not lying. Let me go first," the girl snapped as she fixed her gaze on the gang leader.At the same time, a boy appeared while running around until his footsteps stopped right in front of Lidya and David. The GM who had been busy smoking a cigarette outside the house immediately followed the boy. His eyes immediately caught the unusual aura of the little boy's sudden arrival."Where's Aunty Serena?" asked Lidya.The six-year-old boy shook his head slowly, "Auntie Pretty didn't come home. She left a message for me.”"What does that mean? Tantra, don't play games," Lidya urged

The sleeve of the dress on Serena's left side was torn off with a single hard jerk. Clear beads from the corner of the girl's eyes began to flow. Begging in any way was unlikely to work. Robert's wild, curious gaze made it impossible to comply with her request.The girl's seductive lips slowly paled as the bright light from her eyes began to fade. There was no sound. Not even a moan. The man who had been filled with burning passion began to stop the action. Let alone resisting, Serena's body movements were no longer even felt."Hey, honey. Get up! I haven't even really undressed you yet," Robert chuckled while shaking Serena's tiny body.Silence. Her face turned even paler. Robert chuckled in annoyance that his action was still lagging. His own, which was already perfectly stiffened, slowly began to wither when he saw that his prey was not moving at all.Robert's body sat on the edge of the bed as he looked at Serena's sweet face. Too bad the action was d

"Come on, Barra. I'm just kidding," Mike chuckled, looking very happy. His attempt this time to see Barra's anger was successful. Without even caring about the people around him, Barra laid down his ex's tiny body carefully."Quickly send your female assistant to change her clothes," the cold man said in a low voice."Get a doctor for her too," Barra said, continuing her conversation. While waiting for Serena to be attended to by the doctor, Barra and Mike chose to sit on the balcony. Both of them were still silent while being preoccupied with their respective cigarettes."Hah, I thought you were going to ask me to thwart weapons smuggling or alcoholic beverages as usual. That's lame," Mike teased, smiling wryly at Barra. &nbs

"An unknown person called me and told us to rescue you." Lidya gasped as she breathed a sigh of relief. David came just in time because he didn't know what to say when Serena asked him so many questions just now."I'm sorry. Our plan failed. I have to ask Jeno about ..." Serena's speech stopped as she began to think of something."I think I know who to say thank you to," muttered the girl as she pursed her lips. Meanwhile, Lidya and David just frowned because they had no idea what Serena was thinking about. They both looked at each other and then shrugged their shoulders."Where are you going?" asked Lidya as the girl reached for her bag."Going home. I have to go to work soon."David sent a signal through his eyes to Lidya. Sending a signal that he should

Jeno frowned because he still didn't understand where the girl who spontaneously hugged him was going now. Slowly the embrace stretched and the two began to sit in their respective places."You can eat what you want. I'll buy it later,” said Serena still with a sweet smile on her face.Jeno muttered for a moment, “You're a little weird. Once in a blue moon, you treat me. I always say no when I want to meet.”“Yes, you helped me last night. "That bastard Robert almost attacked me," said Serena who immediately pursed her tiny lips.Their conversation was interrupted when a waiter served the menu that had just been ordered. Both were busy with their food. It was as if they were truly starving.Now and then they laughed crisply when they remembered how the ridiculous behavior of the two fooled the owner of Laura Club. Although it failed, Serena did not blame Jeno because it was a crazy idea that came from herself.Eleven years after Serena broke off her relationship with Barra, the man wh

Serena looked so graceful wearing a white kebaya with an elegant design wrapped around her body. Mrs. Adhisty led her down the stairs without letting go of her hand. Nervous. That's what the beautiful girl was feeling. She was seated not far from the man who would soon perform the Ijab Kabul in a matter of minutes. Not unlike Serena, Barra didn't even dare to look at his future wife because he was busy remembering the memorization that the committee of the wedding had said earlier. It was clear that he didn't want to repeat his mistake when he made the sacred vows of marriage later. So the GM of Erlangga Hotel chose to look down."How is it? Is there anything else you want to wait for?" asked Mr. Committee of the wedding. Both sides of the bride and groom agreed to start the marriage contract process. Since there was no family from Daddy's side left, a guardian from the government was appointed to mediate. It took a while b

Short, concise, and clear. That's what Tita said just now. Tora's wife, who was originally rude and selfish, took Serena's hand and led her to touch her slightly bulging belly. "Let's raise this child together, Serena." Serena still didn't move. Her eyes were teary because she didn't know what to say in response to her future sister-in-law's request."You want to, right? This child will have two mothers and fathers. He'll be so happy," Tita murmured."I-yes, Sis," Rena finally replied. Then the two hugged each other to channel their feelings of love between women. Not long after, Barra came to separate them."Hurry up, sweetheart. You'll be late," Barra whispered later.Serena nodded slowly. Her smile was perfect as she descended the escalator that facilitated her steps toward the airline gate. Mrs. Adhisty gently rubbed her arm to give her peace of mind.***["Look here, you can play baseball too!"] Barra now confidently swung his a

"I trust you with everything.""No, you don't. I want us to take care of it ourselves," Barra broke off, not wanting to hear any argument. "Please, darling!" The puppy eyes and hopeful face of an Adibarra Erlangga made Serena nod while smiling. Inevitably, she moved to unbuckle the seat belt that was still attached to his fiancé's body."Thanks, honey," Barra murmured just as her girl was about to inch back. "Don't want to reply hemm?""No," Serena quickly denied. "We won't get in. Look at Papa standing on the balcony!""Excuses," Barra sneered. Serena seemed to turn off her sense of hearing. She opened the car door immediately. The first sight she saw made her glance lazily. There was Tita, who was sitting in the living room relaxing while enjoying her pregnant milk."Don't mind her. Let's go inside!""No. I'll just go home. It's getting late.""You haven't said goodbye to Papa yet," Barra said, making Serena hesitate. Tita, who saw the

The beautiful green scenery made Serena's smile perfect. The girl carried her fiancé with her left hand, which carried a basket filled with lunch boxes that she had brought from home. The perfume with the scent of citrus blossom that emanated from the body of Barra's fiancé seemed to blend in with nature. It was refreshing and made the feelings it gave a positive impression."Aunt Cintya's daughter is a top therapist for you. The proof is in the therapy," Serena murmured with a smile."Her voice is like a mosquito. It's shrill and annoying. That's why you can't help but obey," said Barra, who was now raising and lowering her right wrist."If it's not like that, I'm sure you will recover for a long time. If we get married, you'll be able to carry me for photo shoots," said Serena while holding back her laughter."You can. You have to," Barra said with a high level of confidence. "Within the next two months, you'll see your brother back to his old self.""And

Tora's wife, who felt offended, was about to come forward to attack Sandra, but her steps stopped when she remembered the bitter experience of losing her baby a few months ago."You better focus on pregnancy. Already want to be a mother but her behavior hasn't changed at all," snapped Sandra who immediately disappeared from Tita's sight. Her breath was still hunting until she returned to Jason who was still in his original position. She was so annoyed that she grabbed the man's glass and drank the contents until it was empty."Why?" asked Sandra as she saw Jason's sardonic gaze."You took my glass," sneered the man.Sandra blinked quickly. Then look at his glass glass which is still half full. He felt embarrassed. "Sorry. I'll replace your other glass.""No need," Jason snapped immediately. Inevitably he looked at Sandra who looked like she was exhausted. "Have you been scratching?" he asked later. Sandra did not answer, but her eyes glanced sharp

Serena immediately turned her head when she heard a knock from outside. She nodded as if giving a code to the team of makeup artists who had just beautified her appearance."You're beautiful," Jason murmured with a smile. "Daddy would be happy if he were here right now.""Yeah. He'd probably stop this show. Especially if Daddy finds out you're marrying the son of his archenemy."That remark made Jason chuckle. "You're such a smartass. Daddy is like that. He would do anything to make you happy. Even when he found out that you were going out with Barra that time."Serena's eyebrows immediately went up one side. Astonished by Jason's words a few seconds ago. Then her foster brother pulled up a chair so he could talk a little longer. Inevitably his eyes directed Serena to do the same."You are always under Daddy's supervision 1x24 hours. Until the moment you crossed over to the orphanage was the last time he hired a secret bodyguard for you.""Forgot? Once you we

"Don't argue. Or I'll kidnap you right now," Barra muttered with a glint in her eye. "Prepare yourself, darling. The day after tomorrow, our engagement ceremony will be held at the Erlangga Hotel at 7 pm." Afterward, the man gave Serena a brief peck on the cheek and then moved out of the car. Calling Serena's driver before finally waving goodbye with a wink. Having just thrown herself on the bed, the girl was again surprised by a video call from her lover. She smiled perfectly after cleaning up from the event.["Hi, beautiful. What are you doing?"] Serena did not answer. Just showing her row of clean and neat white teeth.["You're cosplaying as a toothpaste commercial, right?"] Suddenly the girl immediately got up from her lying position. Then looked at Barra with a sullen face.["Even if you're angry, you look beautiful. You're still beautiful no matter what."] And there are many more pussycat sentences conveyed by Barra. Se

The main event of the seven-month thanksgiving for Fina's pregnancy was over. The guests were invited to mingle and taste the dishes that had been provided."Congratulations, Fina. I hope you're healthy until the birth," Serena murmured while gently stroking her best friend's bulging belly. There was a feeling of joy mixed with envy that she was harboring. Meanwhile, Fina, who understood very well how the sad face changed, immediately grasped her hand."My child will be your child too. He will call you Mama too, Serena. It's just a matter of conceiving and giving birth. You will also be considered as his mother," Fina said with tears already welling up. The two of them hugged each other tightly. No one spoke until Fina's husband approached them."I'm jealous of you guys. It's like brother and sister."Fina hurriedly wiped her tears, then gently elbowed her husband's arm. "Our son will have two mothers. Right, Hubby?"Fina's husband, who knew how Serena was, n

Instead of answering Serena's question, Barra landed a kiss on his beautiful ex's luscious lips. Making the master shocked beyond belief."You!!"Barra kissed Serena. Suddenly, his beautiful girl's tanned eyes widened perfectly. Her lips parted in an attempt to say something, but unfortunately, her tongue was suddenly paralyzed."I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. So let's get married quickly," Barra muttered later. The girl frowned as she changed her sitting position to straight ahead. No longer facing each other with the ex who had always been able to make her heart beat wildly lately. Meanwhile, Mrs. Adhisty, who was about to call her daughter, also stopped her steps at the doorway. Realizing that the two of them were having a serious conversation, she backed off. Barra moved closer, eroding the distance between them. He no longer cared about his clavicle, which was sore due to the movement of his
