Self- injury behavior is done intentionally to vent or overcome the excessive emotions that are being faced.*** With a wrinkled forehead, Daniel picked up the phone and then heard the driver's voice greet him politely.“I see, sir…” said the driver carefully.Dr. Sherry also caught the change in Daniel's expression at this time and immediately understood that the call was an important matter.Because after that, Daniel immediately stood up and turned off his cellphone.“I am sorry… I have to go first.” Daniel muttered while taking his jacket.Luckily Daniel didn't have any schedule after this, therefore he could go to the place that Morana visited.The driver only said that he had brought Morana, but along the way, she cried silently, and every time she was asked, she would just keep quiet.The driver was worried, so he called Daniel. Right now Morana was in her room and didn't want to be disturbed."What is it? Something happened?" Ask Dr. Sherry saw Daniel's panicked expression wh
You are always one decision away from a totally different life.***Daniel was staring at the man in front of him, the man looked still in shock and looked scared.It couldn't be helped because last night's events must have been the first most emotional scene the old man had ever witnessed.Daniel couldn't blame him either, even though The driver kept saying that it was all his fault because he had taken Morana to another place and didn't follow Daniel's instructions to take her home immediately."It's not your fault... there's nothing wrong with you..." Dr. Sherry, who was sitting beside The driver, tried to calm the family driver who was seen wiping his tears many times. "Can you please tell how Morana could ask to be escorted to the house? Do you know whose house it is?”By this time it was already 9 in the morning and Morana's life was not in danger. She did lose a lot of blood but, other than a mild concussion, otherwise she was fine.Daniel confirmed this, time and time again an
People will leave you, but it’s not always they want to. Maybe goodbye is just a painful way to say I love you.*** After hearing what Dr. Sasi said, Daniel was silent. The cellphone that rang loudly in his hand, slowly died, leaving 1 missed call that was displayed on the glass screen.However, less than ten seconds later, his cell phone rang again with the same caller number.Quirino.His brother called again.Daniel is sure, with Quirino's influence, he will soon know that Morana is currently in the hospital.Quirino must be really worried because he couldn't contact Morana since last night.And the memory of last night's incident made Daniel want to bang his own head against the wall.When Daniel came to meet Morana at the request of his worried brother, Daniel actually slept with his brother's lover.When Quirino called them both desperately to find out their whereabouts, Daniel and Morana were desperate to crush each other's bodies, uniting themselves in a perfect union.A bea
After his chat with Quirino this morning, Daniel kept thinking about what he should do when his brother returns.Or did he want to continue this relationship with Morana? Without caring about Quirino's feelings?But, on the other hand, is Daniel willing to leave Morana? Considering the pleasure they shared... wouldn't it be very selfish for Daniel to leave Morana alone?He was not sure what to do… Daniel doesn't understand.He was now sitting on the edge of Morana's bed who was still asleep. Of course, he put Morana in the best room in this hospital.When the clock struck 8 pm, someone pushed the door open and Quirino's figure appeared from behind the door.Daniel was not at all surprised when he saw Quirino coming very quickly. He must have taken his first flight since he hung up the phone this morning.Quirino's tired face could not hide the anxiety he felt for Morana.And as soon as Daniel saw Quirino hurriedly approaching Morana's bed, he immediately pulled his hand that was holdi
Morana was in the hospital for almost a week. Not because the wound on her head was very serious, but because Quirino wanted Morana's condition to be monitored more closely.During that week, Quirino asked other doctors to treat Morana and strictly forbade Daniel to be near her.Even though there were no words between them, they weren't children who needed something to be said clearly.They don't need that… they are three adult people, who can understand the circumstances and understand each other's character.In silence, they understood.Daniel, who indirectly accepts Quirino's refusal to take care of Morana, bestows this on his best friend, Dillan.After all, Morana's condition is not too worrying anymore and there is nothing to worry about.During the same week, Quirino prefers to complete his office tasks in Morana's ward. He will not come to the office if the situation is not urgent.And during that week, Daniel could only receive news about Morana from Dillan because he felt tha
Sorry for answering your question...Sorry that my answer hurt you...And sorry for all the unfair things I've done to you...That was the apology that Morana wanted to convey to Quirino. One word 'sorry' from Morana which covered all her regrets.However, Morana couldn't explain it and Quirino couldn't just understand how deeply Morana regretted this attitude."Sorry..." Morana said again weakly... accompanied by her tears that flowed down and wet the pillow under her.Quirino didn't say anything, he just nodded and avoided Morana's gaze. After that he removed his hand from the girl and walked out of the room.Quirino already got the answer he wanted. That's all right?Morana, who saw Quirino leaving and let go of her hand, felt as if her heart was being gripped very tightly.This feeling of depression hasn't improved either... and if she may say, by looking at the pain she has inflicted on Quirino, she doesn't feel better at all.Is it true what she said? Has Morana confirmed that s
It doesn't feel like three months have passed.During those three months, Morana has attended therapy and medication with Dr. Sherry and Dr. Greg. During those three months, Morana was advised to take five different types of medicine every night and Daniel made sure that Morana took them all.During these three months Morana's relationship with Daniel went smoothly and without significant obstacles, Daniel was very patient in dealing with Morana and was always there when she was depressed or when her mood was high.Daniel was there all the time, but… Morana always felt something was missing.Every time Morana walked alone with Daniel, for some reason she always looked behind her, hoping to find that man...Quirino…During these three months also, Quirino disappeared. He returned to the other country and the reason for opening a new branch of the company, he stayed there.Of course, Daniel and Morana know that Quirino's only excuse.But, as Daniel said, Quirino needed time to accept al
Three months was the longest time Morana had gone without Quirino since she first met him at the age of fifteen, without any calls or messages from him.Usually Quirino would be very angry if Morana didn't pick up his call and would try his best to contact her, every hour if possible, to just listen to her voice and her nagging because Quirino had disturbed her activities.However, after four years, things changed. Everything.A scornful smile appeared at the corner of Morana's lips.What else could she wish for? Isn't it all clear that there is nothing between Morana and Quirino anymore?And Morana should have focused on her marriage to Daniel and her meeting with the main family.Morana wasn't sure if this was what she wanted.As if her whole life turned into a question mark. What is the meaning of her life now? If she had to constantly hurt the people around her? Hurt herself?What for?If that was the case, wouldn't it be better for her to just die?And again, her brain was workin
Quirino walked down the corridor of the hospital, every step he took seemed to have its own meaning for him. Every step brought him closer to Morana. Every step is filled with regret, anger, disappointment and other feelings that Quirino cannot explain in words. He was really angry when he learned that Daniel had sent Morana to a mental health institution without her consent. How come? When Quirino last met Morana and their relationship was still pretty good, Morana didn't show anything. Except for the fact that she had visited Dr. Sherry, for several meetings, everything seemed fine with her. Quirino knew this because at that time, he had ordered several people to follow Morana because she suddenly disappeared and her whereabouts was unknown. There were no indications that Morana needed to be treated. Hence, how could Morana end up in a place like this now?! Something is wrong with Daniel and Morana's relationship! Quirino wouldn't have left Morana if he knew Daniel would take
As Daniel had expected, Quirino was waiting for him in his study.Daniel stood frozen in the doorway, stared at Quirino's back which was turned away from him, stared at his row of medical books, but it seemed that he was only doing that so that he would have something to do.Because even though Quirino heard the sound of the study door opening and closing and Daniel's footsteps echoing in the empty room, he remained unmoved and still did not turn around.Even though the conversation hasn't started and Quirino still refuses to look at him, Daniel knows and understands that the six months that have passed have not changed anything about Quirino and his feelings for Morana."Quirino," said Daniel who then walked over to his brother. He stopped just a few steps away from him, not sure if he should approach him any closer.Quirino slowly turned his body and when their gazes met, everything became foreign to both of them. It was as if they were no longer the two brothers who were very close
Quirino doesn't know whether his decision is right or not, but one thing is certain, he wants to return.It was a desire he had harbored for a long time and now he has a reason to return.The only reason he wanted to come back.After yesterday's call, Quirino was very sure that it was Morana's voice. It must be her voice. Quirino knows her voice very well.Even though Morana didn't say much and only said his name, Quirino could feel the despair that the girl was facing, just from one sentence.Was it because Quirino had overly interpreted this brief moment? Or was this just his delusion because he kept thinking about Morana?Whatever the reason and somehow with how Quirino felt he decided to return, and whatever it was… here Quirino was, waiting impatiently on his flight.Quirino felt that he was really crazy, with just that one word and Quirino had run as fast as he could to approach Morana.Quirino knew that what Morana used was his brother's number and how Morana spoke in a whisper
"Sorry, I can't." Quirino said in a hoarse voice to Silvi who was already half naked underneath.After saying that, Quirino immediately got up from his position on top of Silvi's body and then picked up his shirt which had been scattered on the floor.Silvi widened her eyes when she felt the weight of Quirino's warm body leaving her.They haven't even started yet and Quirino is about to leave? How can he be so cold?Silvi immediately buttoned up the shirt she was wearing and then ran after Quirino who was about to leave her apartment."Quirino!" Silvi, who was only wearing a shirt and underwear, immediately ran into Quirino's back and hugged him tightly, pressing her face against the man's broad back.Quirino was not surprised, did not resist or move in response, he just stood there, frozen. Letting Silvi say what she wants to say."Quirino, give me a chance," said Silvi with suppressed tears.All this time Silvi thought Quirino was the right man for her, that their social status was
Silvi pulled Quirino's neck and tried to kiss him, but Quirino quickly pulled away from her and pushed her body away.Quirino didn't think she was a woman and couldn't control his strength when he tried to avoid her. Letting her fall down.This made Silvi groan in pain, but Quirino paid no heed to it and left, slamming the door of his study when he came out.Turns out that putting Silvi back in her position wasn't a good idea, but got her fired again would only provoke his father's anger and that was the last thing Quirino wanted in the midst of this endless turmoil in his heart.Tonight it looks like he will spend his time at the bar again...Only by drinking some alcohol was Quirino able to escape from Morana's shadow, even if it was only for a moment… it didn't matter, even if only for a moment Quirino wanted to enjoy his own life without the disturbance of the woman who had become his brother's.Morana… how are you…?Quirino's heart whispered softly.# # # Quirino woke up with hi
Too long…Morana has been gone too long.Daniel felt something was wrong and his suspicions were later confirmed by the commotion that occurred in the toilet, where Morana had gone.Immediately Daniel got out of the car and headed for the women's restroom which Morana had entered and found Morana's body had been carried by a man.From Morana's arm, there was a cut that was still bleeding.Among the crowd that surrounded her, Morana saw Daniel who was charging forward while pushing several people in front of her while saying something that Morana couldn't catch.Every sound around her was ringing painfully and all Morana felt was a numb feeling.The last thing Morana remembered was looking into Daniel's eyes.One word that can describe the man right now is; Fright.For a moment Morana was happy to see the fear in his eyes, that means he still cares right?But then, when Morana blinked, the darkness that covered her made her stay there.Cold and silent darkness.A familiar place for her
Morana stared blankly at the pamphlet in her hands. Her heart beat faster when she saw her name on the registration form.Daniel was so careless because he thought Morana wouldn't find out about this, or maybe because his guilt messed up the decisions he was about to make.Morana looked at the pamphlet and personal data form which contained all the information about her.She had to bite her lip to steady herself, her trembling hands couldn't stop as if she could feel her heart that was racing so fast and made her wonder why Daniel could do this to her.Mental health institutions? Those words made Morana clench her fists tightly, feeling the tide of emotion that kept convincing her that she was worthless, that he has been dumped.No!Morana shook her head vigorously. Daniel shouldn't have done this to her.Seeing Daniel walking over, Morana immediately returned the flyer back to the backseat and tried to look calm, as if she didn't see anything or… didn't know anything.Without Morana
Two weeks had passed since Daniel returned to giving the medicines to Morana, but she didn't show any significant changes, if one could say, she was getting worse and worse.Because Dr. Sherry was out of town and it was very difficult to contact, Daniel didn't want to bother her either.Dr. Sherry also needs time for herself and her children.Therefore, Daniel did not try to contact her and continued to consult Dr. Garry. In the past two weeks, Morana had seen him four times and changed drugs twice.But, she still didn't show any significant change and now she started refusing to take the medicine anymore.“That medicine is going to kill me…” Morana said with tears flowing, one night when Daniel was going to give medicine to Morana. "Trust me…""Morana..." Daniel sighed tiredly. He was really tired of facing Morana.It's not that Daniel doesn't love Morana, he really does love her but on the other hand, he doesn't know what to do with her.The tiredness that Daniel feels when he finis
Daniel stared at Morana's sleeping face, he didn't want to disturb her.This afternoon, Anna called him and asked Daniel to come home because his father came with an aide and beat Morana.Of course, this news shocked Daniel who immediately returned to the apartment and found Morana sleeping soundly.Even when the sun had set like this, Morana still hadn't woken up, even though he had tried several times to wake her up, but Morana didn't respond and only muttered something incoherent before going back to sleep.Daniel let Morana rest while observing her swollen lips and several bruised parts of her body. Of course, Morana's condition like this made Daniel furious at her father.He couldn't understand why Lucas Wyatt would use physical violence against Morana? Isn't something like this unnecessary?Daniel has also tried several times to call his father's telephone number, but nothing because the number cannot be reached, as well as when Daniel tried to call his house.His father was app
