"Daniel?" Morana said the name of Quirino's older brother in a low voice, her eyes stared at the figure in disbelief.Why is Daniel here so early? Is he looking for Quirino?Daniel seemed to already know about Morana's whereabouts, because he didn't look surprised at all, then he casually sat right in front of her without saying a word or even greeting.Actually, Morana didn't have a problem with this nonchalant attitude, in fact it would have been better if they pretended they didn't know each other or didn't see each other after their brief conversation at Daniel's office while at the hospital.However, over time, the situation turned awkward, at least that's how Morana felt while Daniel was still cold and ignored Morana. He was busy with an expensive cell phone in his hand.The old woman still didn't come back even after 20 minutes had passed. What has she actually done so far? Even though Morana only asked for tea and biscuits, she should have returned long ago.Morana sighed heav
"If you can't give me 10 billion, stop ordering me to approach Quirino." Morana's expression that was surprised and hurt a second ago, now turned fierce. As if she was ready to accept any consequences of this action.If they think Morana is a jerk who will destroy Quirino's future and will have a bad influence on him, then that's the kind of woman Morana will show them.Because whatever Morana did and said wouldn't change their opinion of her, so Morana wouldn't waste her breath giving them repeated explanations.She was tired and sick of saying the same thing over and over again.“If you really can…” Morana stared straight into Daniel's eyes, she had to raise her head because Daniel was much taller than herself, but Morana was numb, there was no more fear she felt at this time. “Just tell your brother to stay away from me. Stop being such a pain in the ass."After saying that, Morana pushed Daniel's body as hard as she could, she closed her eyes, but it was very difficult to do consi
Morana tried to wipe away her tears, but it seemed that those efforts weren't enough, because her tears kept rolling down her cheeks, flowing non- stop.Her vision was blurry because she kept rubbing her eyes while her nose was burning."Stop!" Morana growled to herself, annoyed that she couldn't control her emotions.Morana then stood up and unsteadily walked towards the bathroom. Maybe with a shower, she could feel a lot better.She hoped that the running water would wash away the wound in her heart as well, so that she could stop feeling this constant pain.The bathroom in the guest room of this villa is very spacious, equipped with a shower and bath.She then stopped in front of the sink and looked at herself in the mirror. The figure reflected there was a woman with a tear- streaked face and puffy eyes. Her nose and cheeks were red and sore.The figure in the reflection of the mirror really made her heart sink, the figure of the woman was like someone who had gone through hell an
"Have you been crying?" Quirino asked on the other end of the phone. With just a single 'hello' he correctly guessed what Morana was going through.Morana was silent when Quirino guessed correctly. She rubbed her nose as she said curtly. "I have a cold.""You have a cold?" Even just from her voice, Morana could imagine Quirino frowning when he heard her answer. "How come? You were fine last night, weren't you?""Yes, I was, but now I have a cold. You can prove it if you are here to see it, " Morana replied casually. "Where's the hairdryer?" She changed the subject.On the other end of the phone, Quirino really couldn't understand why Morana often asked him for a hairdryer. "How do I know, right over there I guess.""This is your house." Morana replied while wearing her favorite dark brown sweater and jeans."Yes, but that doesn't mean I know all the things in the house. Just ask the maid there, you have met some of them, right?” Quirino said."Already." Morana finally found a hairdrye
Morana was not surprised when she heard The old maid's story, she had expected it the second she saw the panicked expression of the middle- aged woman.It must have been something unpleasant and unexpected that had happened, Morana felt her head throb in pain again, as if warning her not to sweat this matter any further.For now, for her own sake, Morana didn't want to fight anymore with Daniel because she felt that her defense would collapse if she had to hear those hurtful words from his mouth again.The feeling that Morana felt right now was the same as someone who had just woken up from a long sleep, someone who didn't yet have her full consciousness, as if what she saw and witnessed right now were only flashes of the drama she was watching from the television screen, without really being involved in it."It's okay..." Morana replied dreamily. She took out her cell phone, then opened the online taxi application. “Let me just take a taxi from here…”"Oh, I am really sorry you, Ms.
After exchanging their phone number, Morana walked alone to Mr. Ben's office, which she visited 2 weeks ago.It's not fun to come to this place again. Morana wanted to finish whatever she had to do with Mr. Ben, then went to the cafe where she usually was, she was hungry.Thanks to Daniel this morning, because of him, Morana didn't have time to have breakfast, either at the villa or on campus due to limited time.She was barely late for her first lesson and didn't have a chance to eat anything, all thanks to Daniel. And also….Morana touched the beanie cap she was wearing and felt a sharp pain right where she had bumped her head this morning, reminding her that those scary thoughts were coming with increasing frequency.Should she see Doctor Sherry again? Even if today wasn't her third counseling day?Morana is scheduled to come back for their third session, the day after tomorrow. But, she wants to see Doctor Sherry right now…While walking with unenthusiastic steps, Morana finally a
"My belongings?!" Morana was no less confused than her either. "No, I am not moving." She shook her head.How could Morana intend to move? Where will she live next?"But, are you sure?" Sana forgot about wiping the table and stood up to look at Morana in surprise. “Earlier this morning two men came, they said they were going to pack your things and asked for a spare key. Because they gave Quirino's identity card and another document to support it, so I gave them… They were also accompanied by Mr. Yohan."Sana also looked confused. The reason is that Mr. Yohan, the owner of the boarding house, also came and gave his permission, so it was impossible for Sana not to allow them to come in and do their job.The boarding house here is an elite area, so it's impossible for just anyone to enter let alone take out items like this."Then where did those people go?" Morana panicked. She opened one of the large boxes neatly tucked away in a corner and examined it.True, they were all her belongin
When Morana was about to make a withdrawal, what she got was information that her card had been blocked.Daniel's influence is so great that he can do this.Maybe if the card Morana used was her own, Daniel wouldn't be able to block it, but because the card Morana used was Quirino's, Daniel could find out easily and block it.This card is the Quirino ATM card that he gave her 4 years ago when she was unable to open her own account due to her insufficient age.Through this card, Quirino will send some money to Morana to pay for school and her living expenses.When she was old enough to open an account in her own name, Morana didn't see that it was necessary since she was still living off the money she received from Quirino.So, it didn't matter whose ATM card Morana used, as long as it contained cash, it would be the same.Therefore, to this day, Morana has not opened an account in her own name and continues to use the card that Quirino gave her.Because of that too, Daniel easily bloc
