"Morana was still there," Silvi said in a panic, she quickly stood up and checked the bathroom, in case Morana was there.However, when she returned with a gloomy face, Quirino immediately knew what answer Silvi would give.He was half running out of the room without giving Silvi a chance to spill the complaints she had prepared for him when he arrived.Of course, her complaints would very subtly insinuate how bad Morana was and put her down in Quirino's eyes.However, he didn't have a second for her because all that was in his head right now was Morana.Where is that girl?! She is still sick!"Tch!" Silvi clicked her tongue angrily seeing Quirino like that.Like it or not, she has to follow Quirino to find Morana, because if she doesn't, who knows what that impudent woman will say.# # #Morana really didn't heed Dirly's refusal and his suggestion to go back to rest in her room.Currently she is sitting in the garden of the hospital watching the sun set on this beautiful island.A wh
A voice that hurt Morana's ears rang out from behind, along with that, the perfume that Silvi was wearing wafted through the air. For some reason Morana's small request not to meet Silvi again was not granted.She had really had enough of this woman and her sweet mouth.In an instant Silvi's face appeared before Morana and made her frown automatically with distaste.“Morana, if you were going for a walk you should have woken me up…” Silvi's face had a regretful look as if she was really worried.'Oh, so it turns out he had an excuse that she overslept when Quirino asked' Morana thought, her eyebrows raised as she easily understood the current situation.However, Morana was not in the mood to serve Silvi's acting.First Quirino broke her peace and then came Silvi with her tricks. How come an educated woman seems so shameless?"Wake you up?" Morana snorted. "Why do I have to wake you up when you see it yourself, when I leave the room." Morana replied as it was. Shee refused to follow Si
Quirino exhaled heavily while stroking Morana's back. "Let the doctor check your condition first, ok..." She persuaded, but Morana shook her head and sulked even more.Silvi might not have succeeded using this method on Quirino, but Morana was a different person.Before Quirino persuaded Morana to return, the door was opened unexpectedly, it was Daniel who came to do one last check on Morana."Daniel?" Quirino was a little surprised to find his brother who opened the door with his white blazer. "I thought you were home." Quirino said, because as far as he knew Daniel's working hours had ended an hour ago. Why he was still here?Daniel stood a few steps from the bed and looked coldly at Morana's figure in Quirino's arms. Nobody could guess what's in his mind, no one knows except Daniel himself.Since the death of Rania, his girlfriend, Daniel, has become more withdrawn and doesn't let anyone see his sadness. He often spends time in the hospital and takes long hours to be there. It was
Quirino didn't want to do it not because he was trying to act like a gentleman, but because he didn't want to hurt Morana any further.Something in her past had hurt her like this, therefore Quirino did not want to damage her more than this."If you didn't get her pregnant, so what?" Daniel asked, his curiosity was very real. He frowned in confusion. "Don't tell me you really like her."It sounded like a joke even to Daniel's own ears.Some of the rumors that Daniel had heard about Morana were none of them good, all about Morana's bad things, as if the woman's presence was just a stain.Because of that, Daniel couldn't stop thinking how his smart brother could bend his knees in front of that woman."Yes." Quirino answered without hesitation. "I really like her."Hearing Quirino's straightforward answer, Daniel narrowed his eyes, as if looking for lies in his younger’s eyes that implied his determination."You can't end up with her." Daniel reminded him that he did not explicitly rejec
Quirino finished his business in City Z much faster than he expected, on the fifth day they were able to return to the capital city.Actually Quirino wanted to spend more time there with Morana and take her to enjoy this 'vacation'. However, he cannot take his job in the capital city lightly, not to mention that in the near future he will have to travel abroad and visit several countries where he will open new routes there.For the first time Quirino will leave Morana in quite a long time."Are you sure you don't want to take just one semester off to accompany me?" Quirino asked hopefully when they had just landed at the international airport.Morana unbuckled her seat belt after the green light flashed and glared fiercely at Quirino beside her.Morana's answer was guessed by Quirino and even though she didn't say anything, her wide eyes like that were enough for him to understand."I am just asking and offering." Quirino grumbled. "Besides, you have never been out of the country befo
Quirino kissed Morana's forehead slowly and gently when they arrived in front of her boarding house."As long as I am not around, don't look for trouble on campus." Quirino warned while gently flicking Morana's tiny nose. "If something happens and it's hard to contact me, just call Leo, tomorrow he will arrive in this city."Leo is one of Quirino's right- hand men, currently he is being assigned to another country, therefore it is Silvi who follows him wherever he goes."Yes, yes..." Morana said impatiently, she wanted to rush away from the car, because Quirino's proximity was starting to make her uncomfortable. The problem in the car was not only the two of them, but also Mr. Garry was presence, the office driver."Is that so?" Quirino held Morana by hugging her waist. "We probably won't see each other for more than a month you know." he reminded her again.She had lost count about how many times he said that, Morana couldn't count it anymore."My goodness Quirino, you want to go abr
Morana ran non-stop towards her room on the second floor. She spilled all the things from inside her bag impatiently because her room key was very difficult to find by her trembling hands.The small silver lock gleamed in the sunlight from a nearby window. Without thinking, Morana took it and opened her bedroom door.In a hurry, she took back all the things that were scattered on the floor, starting from pens, erasers and small notes she made, then put them back in her bag.Her chest was pounding.Morana hated herself for being like this. She hated herself for being overly sensitive like this.Everything she was feeling right now was definitely because of their kiss earlier, because Quirino had said that so many times, Morana shouldn't feel like this anymore.But, at this moment, at this very second, Morana felt empty…It was like something was missing in her heart and she didn't know what it was. Her heart ached and she didn't know what caused it.Was it because Morana finally realiz
When Quirino finally spoke, his voice sounded heavy and hoarse, as if forced. "Booking a flight now," he said without taking his eyes off his cellphone screen, he read the message Leo sent him repeatedly.Morana disappeared.But, where did she go? What else happened to her?Quirino couldn't think of any reasons that had triggered Morana to do this, what was on her mind right now, were places Morana might visit and where she might go."What?!" Silvi's voice rose when she heard an unreasonable order from Quirino. "No, tomorrow we have an important meeting, you can't not attend!" Silvi almost screamed in frustration."Do it now," Quirino answered coldly, he shifted his gaze from his cellphone screen to Silvi's worried face. "Booking the earliest flight, now!" Quirino hissed leaving no room for negotiation. "Leo will take over tomorrow's meeting."Silvi was already impatient with Quirino who was like this, he had gone too far, he had mixed up work and personal problems. Without Silvi know
