2024-03-09 15:40:56Hearing the GM's almost desperate words, David sighed. After a while, Ami appeared with a box of first aid supplies along with the two OB officers that David had ordered earlier.
"Don't touch me!" Barra snapped as his secretary attempted to treat the wound on his hand.
"But, sir. The wound-"
Ami froze in place as her superior's eyes pierced her displeased gaze. Slowly, her body recoiled until she could no longer move.
"Never mind. I'll take care of Mr. GM," said David who immediately took over the box in Ami's hand.
The secretary got up from her place and quickly excused herself.
While the two OB officers were cleaning up the mess, David was again preoccupied with Barra who was still wearing his protesting face.
"Come here, sir. It'll help treat your wound," David said.

Serena moved to advance her body slightly. The girl wanted to make sure that her sense of hearing was not mistaken."The heir of the landowner I told you about is coming, ma'am. I don't know what to say if he's about to..." Mrs. Risa's speech paused for a moment."I don't know what to do anymore," she continued. "Never mind, ma'am. You should rest. Don't think about it too much. Your health is more important," said Serena, who then gently stroked the arm of the orphanage owner. Silence.

The girl's lungs expanded fully as she inhaled even more oxygen. She had no idea why fate always seemed to have her backed into a corner. Until the man's faint smile managed to make Serena's bad daydream fade away instantly."What are you doing here?" asked the man when he saw Serena who was suddenly in front of him.The man signaled for his guards to move away."We need to talk," Serena said not wanting to make small talk anymore."My pleasure," greeted his interlocutor while continuing to smile.The two immediately pulled over to sit in a park not far from the car park."Is it a coincidence that we met here Miss Rena?"The girl did not answer.

After arguing with Jason yesterday, the GM of Erlangga Hotel was starting to get anxious. He was cursing his carelessness for missing a golden opportunity to get Serena back with him. This was the first time he couldn't sleep well because he was thinking about his ex's fate. Oh, more precisely his fate for still not being able to move on from Serena's charm. Regardless of the cause of their relationship that ran aground 11 years ago, the girl had never made him gloomy like now. Even the one night he thought of a way out, it still came to nothing. "Do we still have a meeting today?" Barra asked as he checked the file submitted by David. "Yes, sir. Eleven o'clock, after that -" "Handle afterward. I'd like to leave after lunch," the GM cut in, not wanting to be contradicted. For a moment David sighed softly, he could see the bags under his boss's eyes that clearly showed a lack of rest. "Are you okay, sir?" asked David with concern. Hearing his assistant

"Come, sir. Please drink," said Mrs. Risa, pointing to two glasses of tea given to her by one of the caretakers. Barra nodded slowly. He started to look around as if she was looking for something. Mrs. Risa, who seemed to understand what the man in front of her was doing, just smiled. "Where's Miss. Rena right now?" the owner asked the person who delivered the tray of tea. "In the kitchen, ma'am. She's preparing the dinner menu," the caretaker replied as she excused herself. "Oh, maybe Miss. Rena is warming up the food," said Ms. Risa in a playful monologue. Barra just chose to be indifferent as if he didn't care about what the caretaker had just said. Not much was discussed by the GM and the owner of the orphanage. Moreover, Barra did not like to chat much and preferred to answer

"Please take Mr. Barra to the guest room," said Mrs. Risa, to which Aji, the caretaker immediately agreed. Having just walked a few steps away from Serena and Mrs. Risa, the handsome GM again distracted the two women who were still occupying the room. "Sir, are you -" "I'm fine, ma'am," Barra said, cutting the owner off. Without waiting for any response, the GM walked back to follow Aji who was going to take him to rest for the night. His footsteps halted when he realized they had reached their destination. While waiting for Aji to open the door, Barra again swept his gaze around the orphanage area which had turned quiet. Although there was a dim light illuminating the terrace, Barra couldn't deny that she was

"Why are you silent?" Barra asked when Serena didn't give any answer."None of your business," said Serena who then left Barra alone. The handsome GM scratched the back of his neck, which was not itchy at all. It was true what Serena said that he should not interfere with what the girl was doing. Too bad he had to go back to the office right now."Are you leaving already, sir?" asked Mrs. Risa.Barra nodded, "I'll be back after everything is done, ma'am. Please let me know if the Raksana Group comes at any time." The orphanage owner said yes and escorted the GM to his car. Aji and a few other administrators also accompanied Mrs. Risa to see Bara off."Anything left behind, sir?" asked Aji when he saw the GM casting his eyes around them. The man with the dimples sighed softly and shook his head. He turned the car key and drove it at maximum speed. Meanwhile, Serena who had just finished washing the fruits in the basket returned to

"You're still too easy to judge the meaning of happiness," Tora said with a sharp look.Barra grinned softly. "Oh yeah? Tell me, what did you get out of marrying Tita? Is it her possessive attitude?""What do you mean?" Mr. William looked at his two sons in turn."Never mind, Dad. There's no point in talking to Barra now," Tora said trying to stop their argument.Mr. William sighed softly. He nodded as his eldest son invited him to leave Barra's study."Don't say a word. You've seen how proud daddy is of his son, haven't you?" Barra asked. David remained silent and returned to clenching his nearly gaping mouth. The assistant slowly backed away, unable to say anything.After a while, Ami knocked on the door and walked to the GM's desk."Excuse me, sir," the secretary said as she handed over two documents that Barra had to reread. The GM only mumbled and then signaled Ami to leave immediately.A few moments later Barra returned to focus on the reading in fron

The laughter-filled small talk was interrupted when Serena heard a screech from a child at the orphanage behind them."Miss, we've finished exercising. Can I take a shower?" asked the 11-year-old boy who was already in front of Serena."Sure. Just dry your sweat first.""Okay, Miss."After seeing the boy leave, Serena frowned slightly at Tora's unusual expression."No wonder it smells like tamarind. Uh, apparently hmmm," Tora sneered while sniffing her sense of smell towards Serena.Gadi giggled in embarrassment because what she just said was true."Oh yeah. You haven't told me the reason for coming here," Serena muttered as if she was demanding an answer to her words."Take a shower first, I'm not interested in talking to a beautiful girl who smells bad," Tora said with a point. Serena got up from her seat while pursing her lips. Still followed by Tora who was behind her, the girl walked stumblingly towards the room."You can stay in the living room. I thi

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
