In their first session, Morana didn't talk much because she didn't know where to start and what to say in those 2 hours.She mostly listened to Ms. Sherry, the psychologist who handled her, telling about her life, trying to make small talk with Morana while hoping she could share her experiences too.However, the first session ended without Morana speaking anything about her past.It had occurred to Morana not to come again, because she would just be wasting her time and money. After all, she didn't want anyone else to know about her.Therefore, what was she there for?But, upon seeing the burn marks on her hands, Morana steeled her heart again and pushed open the door to the counseling room.If she was like this all the time, maybe Morana wouldn't kill herself right away, but slowly she would die of her own doing, and being haunted by the thought of continuing to hurt herself made Morana sometimes fear what she could do if the shadow the dark is coming.Behind the door, Ms. Sherry wa
Hadn't Morana been wasting Quirino's kindness all this time? But, doesn't she not love Quirino too?Because they have been together for years and only Quirino, someone who she used to depend on. Morana becomes confused with her own feelings."So, who is this lucky guy to be your boyfriend?" Ms. Sherry's question clouded Morana's confused thoughts.Lucky?Is Quirino lucky to have her? Is that how he feels? So that's why Quirino keeps asking her to marry him? Because he felt lucky to have Morana?That thought alone sounded so absurd…"His name is Quirino Wyatt..." Morana started a long conversation with Ms. Sherry, this time she looked into the Doctor's eyes when she talked about Quirino.# # # The counseling session that should have ended in 2 hours ended up being 3 hours. Time doesn't seem to have passed quickly.Luckily Ms. Sherry's schedule that day was not too busy and the next patient would arrive later in the afternoon. There was still plenty of time left, but Ms. Sherry didn't
Morana really didn't understand what Daniel was saying. "Quirino has business overseas, he won't be back until next month." Morana said while looking at Daniel. "So you really don't know?" Daniel narrowed his eyes and looked at Morana inquiringly, but he couldn't find any lies in her eyes. Or did Morana really not know? "What do you know?" Morana asked back. He had talked enough today with Doctor Sherry, and she was mentally tired, therefore at this moment, to argue with Daniel was not the right time. “I don't understand what you are saying, I did turn off my phone for some reason, but I will be going back to my old boarding house after my troubles here are over. If you don't have anything else to ask, I am going home." Morana tried to push Daniel's body away from the door, but she didn't have the strength to do that. Daniel didn't even budge in the slightest, as if he was a statue carved there. Tired of her futile efforts, Morana glared at Daniel angrily. “Move!” She said harshl
Morana didn't understand why she had mentioned that number. But, thinking about it, since Daniel and their father had bad thoughts about her, so what's wrong with Morana acting as they expected? At least she got something right? She can live without working for several years with that 10 billion if Daniel really gives her money with such a fantastic nominal, so actually Morana isn't the one who is at a loss, right? After all, he already intends to leave Quirino. But, why did she feel something was wrong? Her heart wasn't happy with it and couldn't keep up with the way her brain was working to account for the situation. Why is that? “10 Billion?” Daniel raised his eyebrows in disbelief. "I didn't know that a woman like you was so shameless in extortion like this." "A girl like me?" Morana rubbed the tears that fell down her cheeks roughly. "Don't you forget that this kind of woman makes your brother willing to do anything for me." Morana replied with a triumphant grin. She knew
"Hello?" Morana greeted softly when the phone call connected. She didn't expect that Quirino was actually already in this country and looking for her to the point of hiring frightening people like the man in front of her. "Quirino?""You follow them and meet me." Answer the person on the other end of the call. That was the only sentence he said before a tone sounded that the line had been disconnected.Morana stared at the phone screen which displayed the accumulated time of the last call made.5 sec.Morana thought Quirino would scold her first over the phone before telling her to come see him, but Quirino only spoke to her for 5 seconds.Was Quirino that mad at Morana so he couldn't say anything more to her? Morana knew she was wrong, but Quirino had never been like this before.Seeing the gravity of the situation Morana was in, it wasn't impossible that this would become a cold war between them again."Where is Quirino?" Morana asked while handing back the man's cell phone, she wal
Suddenly Quirino took long steps and approached Morana in a hurry. He hugged her body tightly as if not wanting to let go again.There was something wrong with the way Quirino hugged her and buried his head in the crook of her shoulder."What is it?" Morana asked, becoming worried. "What happened with you?" She demands Quirino's explanation for his strange behavior.But Morana couldn't see Quirino's face and observe his expression, therefore she became very confused.Quirino should be angry with her, right? And instead, he was hugging her tightly like this, it was as if Morana had disappeared for years."A problem at work?" Morana gave an arbitrary guess, because that was the only reason that came to her mind."No." Quirino answered briefly."Is there a problem with the employees?" Morana kept trying to guess, maybe one of them was right."No.""With client?""No.""With Silvi?"Hearing Morana's guess this time, Quirino hissed disapprovingly. The woman's name alone was very disturbing
But, even so, Quirino felt that this was not the time for Morana to know that he already knew. Quirino still wants Morana to tell him the dark secret of her past, only then Quirino will feel that Morana really believes in him.Quirino could have found out this truth a long time ago, if it weren't for Morana's attitude of constantly keeping herself closed and not allowing him to know even a little about the problem that continues to haunt her, he would not have done this.Quirino would still wait until Morana told him herself, instead of secretly looking for information about her behind her back like this.But, unfortunately, he already knows now and he won't let the seven people enjoy their lives comfortably after what they did to Morana.There will be a time when they will cry blood at Quirino's hands."You don't eat?" Morana elbowed Quirino's arm. "Don't keep staring." Morana said while devouring these delicious prawns.She almost finished half of the dish."Just eat it yourself, ea
"Depression?" Daniel raised his eyebrows in disbelief, because Morana didn't look like someone who was depressed at all. What made her depressed? Seeing how Quirino treats Morana, there shouldn't be anything that can make her depressed, right?However, Daniel's thoughts were mere assumptions, he was not a graduate majoring in psychology to be able to know such psychological things."Yes." Doctor Sherry nodded her head. "With a tendency to BPD, Borderline Personality Disorder." she continued.Daniel, who didn't quite understand psychological terms, frowned in confusion. "What's that?" Apart from schizophrenia, Daniel is not aware of any other psychological illness.“BPD or borderline personality disorder, which is between schizophrenia and neurosis.” Doctor Sherry was silent for a few moments before continuing her words. "But you still need a few more counseling sessions to confirm this."It's not easy to diagnose psychiatric and mental illnesses like this, it takes a lot of time and a
