“Where's my husband?” asked Helena, who had just entered the dining room, surprised that Michael was no longer there. It was as if he had left her to have breakfast alone. It had been a month since Helena and Michael returned from their memorable honeymoon in the Maldives. However, married life was starting to show a different side.

Helena didn't mind, it was just that... they had just gotten married, right?

“Mr. Michael has just left, Mrs. Helena,” one of the waiters said, bowing politely. She also invited Helena to sit in her chair. The dishes made by the butler were quite appetizing but... for some reason Helena was reluctant to touch them. But she couldn't just skip the morning intake. The agenda was so overwhelming that she had to have more energy to deal with it.

That morning, Helena sat alone at the dining table. A cup of coffee and a plate of toast accompanied sheets of paperwork about the new product launch of Nakia, the cosmetics company she worked for. The job took up almos

    “Do you want to have dinner somewhere else?” asked Thomas with a hint of anxiety on his face. He had made a special reservation at this restaurant so that they could have dinner in peace. After all, it had been a long time since Thomas had spent time with Wilna in a place like this.“Why would you go somewhere else?” asked Wilna in surprise. “The menu is perfect here and I was just about to eat this dish.” Wilna gave the man sitting in front of her a strange look. “Or is it you who doesn't really like it here?”Thomas shook his head while stifling a laugh. “In case you forgot, this is one of my favorite restaurants.”Wilna couldn't deny that. “Then... why did you offer me to move to another restaurant?”“You don't seem to be interested in the food,” Thomas said without mincing words. Knowing Wilna for almost more than four years, he understood what kind of woman she was. She didn't like things that were too much ado, hardworking, although she often made mistakes but Wilna was always w

    “Ah, it turns out to be this much fun doing things with the one you love,” Thomas said, whistling happily. Thomas felt like his day was going great after taking Wilna to the office. Perhaps without realizing it, his good mood made some of the staff look at him quizzically. But Thomas didn't really care.“What's my schedule, Ely?” he asked the secretary who always helped him with his work. He had just entered his office. His blazer was loosened as the pile of files on his desk grew. He couldn't get rid of the files immediately without her checking.“Today you have a meeting with the production, marketing, and HR departments. They want to discuss the recruitment of new employees at the NewDelfia branch.”Thomas nodded in understanding.“I have asked the office boy to prepare your coffee and snacks.”“Thank you, Ely.”Ely nodded and quickly left Thomas' office. While working under Thomas' direction, the man was quite annoying when it came to work. Because of that, Ely did not want to mak

    “Good morning, darling.”Helena smiled even though her eyes were still closed. The warm embrace from Michael, the light peck she received from her husband around the face, still didn't make her want to open her eyes.“Do you want to be lazy today?” whispered Michael, who tightened his embrace. A glance at the clock on the nightstand showed that it was six in the morning. He also thought that he had a few things to do after breakfast once he arrived at the office.But if Helena asked him to take a moment, he would probably leave this morning's meeting to his assistant.“Um... not really. Today Gio will come with the plans he just finished. I wonder when that guy takes a break.”“You should give him some special time to take a short break. After all, it's for your own good, right?”Helena chuckled. “I guess you're right. Maybe I'll ask Wilna to arrange some time off for Gio.” She opened her eyes, looking up slightly at her husband. “I just realized that you're quite handsome with a fres

    “Don't you feel tired?” asked Michael as he bent down slightly to make himself comfortable with his wife.“Not at all.” Helena smiled slightly. “It's really a marvelous event.“Papa wanted it to be a little grander than usual.” Michael pulled out one of the chairs to sit next to Helena. “Can I get you a drink?”Helena nodded. “Just some syrup, please. It looks refreshing.”“Okay.”The opening ceremony of LandVillage, a luxury resort project combined with an agritourism concept, was lively. Michael seemed to be leading the event with confidence. Many families and local tourists came to experience the unique atmosphere that the resort had to offer. And because of this, Michael's travel agency company has expanded to work with many parties.“Our promotion is really working well,” said one of Michael's business partners, a middle-aged man named Andrew.Michael smiles with satisfaction. “I believe that hands-on experience is key. If we provide the best service from the start, people will k

    “Is this enough?” asked Michael, handing her the cut apple he had just finished peeling.Helena only nodded briefly. She stared at the slice without interest. But since this morning, no food had entered her body. Helena felt weak and also upset. Not because of the pregnancy, oh... really. She had been looking forward to the news of this pregnancy. She even repeatedly made sure her eyes didn't look at the results wrong because what happened in the past was enough to scare her.“Eat well.” Michael gently stroked Helena's hair. “I'll keep you company.”“You're not working?”Michael shook his head immediately. “There are some things that can be done here. Nothing too urgent, and the rest can be done by my secretary. You don't need to worry.”It had been three days since Helena had been lying in her hospital room, surrounded by the typical hospital smells that made her even more uncomfortable. Michael, who was always faithfully accompanying her, looked worried. Although the doctor had conf

    Seconds pass, minutes change, and the clock keeps turning. Time marches on mercilessly, carrying days, months and even years that pass by as if without a trace. But for one five-year-old boy, time feels like a silent blanket covering his life.Andy Tan-a name familiar to few who've heard the dark rumors of his family-grows up under the watchful eye of his foster guardian, Luna Jacob. No one knew what had really happened to his family, except for a few faint whispers that faded over time.The news that once had almost all mass media scrambling to show the progress of her parents' case, slowly faded away. Buried under a pile of new news that captured the public's attention. The big scandal is now just part of the archives, no longer a hot topic of conversation. But for Luna Jacob, Andy's foster guardian, the traces of the past are still tangible. And it's like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.Even so, when Luna first met Andy, there was a sense of pity and trepidation. The

    “What are you doing, darling?” asked Michael as he handed Helena a cup of her favorite latte. They were in the lounge room that had been transformed into a private library, where Helena often spent time just sitting and enjoying her coffee and books.Michael saw Helena looking thoughtfully at a photo album that she had made as a memento. Starting from the first month of pregnancy, whatever the moment, Michael always captured it. He said that memories can disappear, but they can be recalled when you look at the photos of when they were created.“I look so pale here, don't I?” said Helena, pointing to a portrait of herself wearing a pastel-colored brocade dress. She smiled slightly as she rubbed her flat stomach. Her eyes looked puffy and her face was not as cheerful as usual. Helena remembered that she had just been discharged from the hospital for the umpteenth time.Helena had severe nausea, her whole body was weak and helpless. She thought it would be easy to get through the first t

    “How did you meet the Edison family at Andy's school? Don't they have references to schools that are much better than Bright Star Academy?” Luna massaged her temples tiredly.Andy had been in his room for some time. Luna felt guilty for being late picking up the boy. But what the heck, she had to take care of the cake shop she managed.“But they don't recognize me,” Luna muttered immediately. “That's much better for us.”“Grandma,” called Andy carrying his school bag. “Help me with my homework.”“Come here.” Luna patted the seat at her side. “I'll come with you to do your homework.”That evening, Luna sat in the living room watching Andy busy with his homework. The boy, though only seven years old, looked so serious. Luna couldn't stop being grateful for Andy's good growth, though there were many worries she kept in her heart. One of them was Andy's encounter with a little girl at the school event this afternoon.Luna knew who the Edison family was. Their name had caused a stir with t

    “She remembers that I like strawberries?” King said with an uncontrollable laugh. ‘It's amazing that she can remember such trivial things." All King wanted was to quickly enjoy the pudding that he had been carrying. It was not allowed to be far from his position, whether in the middle of a meeting, chatting casually with a client, or when he was with Lilo this afternoon.Since he couldn't pause the meeting, he asked the online courier to pick it up at the Infinity Tower. What Lisa said could be done by her subordinates. Gadis' cooking had bewitched her subordinates. So it would be impossible for them to refuse anything Gadis brought.But ... King does like the food that Gadis makes. Since his prestige is as high as the sky, maybe if it can be measured, it's at the seventh point of the sky. As well as their relationship, which never got along, made King very reluctant to say or at least admit that what Gadis made always appealed to his taste.Ki

    [Kingkong: Thanks, pudding. I like it.]Gadis swiped at the message that had just entered her cellphone. Once again, she focused her concentration on the stacked files. Gadis felt like throwing up but she held it back. It wasn't just her who was struggling with the many piles, but almost all the staff in the division under Kingkong were busy. Very busy indeed.“Even though I was hoping for a bit of a break today,” complained Gadis, but her eyes remained fixed on the sheet of report and the laptop full of data. ”My goodness, when will this torture end?”“Are you muttering, Dis?” asked Tania with a laugh. "This is what it's like at the end of the month. Everything is backbreaking work. But after getting paid, it's not this hectic either.”Gadis just glanced over with a smile. "Is that a phenomenon at GreenTech?”“That's how it is,” Tania replied casually. It wasn't just Gadis who was chasing

    “How was your meeting with Angga?” asked Lily, raising an eyebrow. Teasing Gadis, who had met her boyfriend, was the latest fad for the girl who loved white. Especially since Gadis and Angga had to do long-distance dating since returning from Solo. If Gadis said so, that was the risk of being with a prospective doctor.They were at a ramen shop in Bintaro Plaza. Rather than spending the weekend sulking, when Lily invited her out for a moment to the mall area closest to their dorm, Gadis just agreed. Besides, she had nothing to do this afternoon. Considering that her mood was ruined this morning, she was also curious about the afternoon but didn't want to leave the room, so while Gadis' mood was improving a bit, it would be better if she relieved her fatigue a little.“That's how it is,” said Gadis as she took a big bite of her ice cream spoon. Luckily for them, even though it was the weekend, the mall wasn't that crowded. Only a handful of peopl

    Angga stared at the food box that Gadis handed him. The twinkle in the eyes of the girl he had been dating for two years was really happy. She hoped Angga might give a little compliment or words that would make Gadis feel good. But to be honest, Angga didn't like it. At all.Let alone like it, he's not even interested in tasting it. It's not a matter of the side dish and what is presented in this neatly and beautifully arranged box. But ... he's like a kindergartner!“I've told you this before, haven't I?” Angga closed the food box that Gadis had given him. He sighed deeply as he stared at Gadis with a look of dislike. “I'm not a kindergarten kid you serve food like this to.”“But it's cute, you know.” The girl opened the returned box again. "Even though it looks like a kindergarten kid, it tastes good. You try it first, Dear," said Gadis as she took one of the slices of meat that she had stir-fried with bulgogi soy sauce. It tasted very tempting to the girl but ...“You eat it yourse

    All Gadis could do was take out her earphones and put them on. She played her favorite song and enjoyed the journey to an area where almost all of Jakarta's residents gathered. She enjoyed the weekend with sports and culinary hunting in the available places.Until finally, they arrived at the Grand Indonesia parking lot. They chose to park behind the mall building, which stands strong, hiding the splendor that is one of Jakarta's images: the Grand Indonesia Mall.“We're going straight there, Doctor Angga,” said Amel with burning enthusiasm. ”See you again.”“Be careful. Let me know if anything happens.” Angga smiled slightly, letting the two noisy women leave him. At the hospital, both Amel and Rara were known as cheerful women. There was always something to talk about that made the atmosphere at the hospital even more lively, especially on night shifts. If they were just on duty without any conversation, they could be tempted by things that happened beyond reason.Gadis didn't care a

    Anyway, today Gadis is happy. She usually greets the weekend by sleeping in and lazing around even though she eventually cleans up, but this week she deliberately got up early. She has been busy since she opened her eyes and glanced at the wall of her rent house. She has also told her parents that her return this week has been delayed.“I want to meet Angga. While he's at a seminar in Jakarta,” said Gadis cheerfully. It was a Friday evening when Gadis was waiting for the bus. At the very least, her parents had to get some news about her not being able to go home this week.“Oh, that's good. Why wasn't he just invited home? While he's in Jakarta?” At the other end, Gadis's mother was also excited.The girl pouted but luckily their conversation was over the phone so her mother didn't need to see the look on the girl's face that she didn't really like her mother's response. Her mother should have understood Gadis also wanted to spend time with Angga. Longing is hard, to quote the words o

    “Wow, if this goes on I could get fat,” said Gadis, chuckling. On her desk were several bengbeng, chocolate-layered biscuits, or other snacks as part of the payment for the Shoes bet. Even though Gadis had not guessed the color that King would wear this morning.The man didn't do anything. Most of the time, King always went to Mr. Ubud's room, not knowing what they were talking about. Maybe it had something to do with his 1 billion project. Gadis doesn't cared even though she was driving all night last night, occasionally listening to King argue and express his opinion.What King said about the meeting was true. And most of the time King communicated in English, which the man spoke so fluently. It didn't seem like he needed to think long to find the right word. King was indeed good at negotiating.“Exciting, huh?” asked Tania, which surprised the girl. But then she laughed.“Yes, you know. Exciting.”“Every

    Sleeping in an emotional state is not good. The heart is not too calm and sleep is not restful. Gadis felt it all until she woke up early in the morning. Her look was still wrinkled, her face was frowning and actually there was no desire in her heart to work.But ...“I'm not a child. If I take a sudden leave today, Kingkong will definitely win. Besides, why is his damn attitude getting worse every day? He just uses his authority as a boss at will.” She also pulled back the covers. The clock on the wall of her room showed only 4 a.m., but Gadis was used to getting up that early.First, she made her own lunch and packed a lunch. During her college years, she never forgot to bring lunch from home. Besides, she wouldn't waste the opportunity if, when making certain snacks, there were always college friends who ordered. It was not a bad idea to have extra snacks or money that could be saved to ease her college expenses.Secondly, she liked buy sna

    “A billion?” Mario repeated with wide eyes in disbelief. ‘Using ZoomMeet?’ He folded his arms across his chest. ‘Can you not make so many excuses if you really want to be with Pasaraya? It's okay with me too." Mario chuckled. ”Sooner or later, I'll find out who you're really dating.”It felt like King didn't just want to swear, but to hit Mario on the head with the placemat in front of him. Unfortunately, if he did that, his mother could go on a rampage like a lion.“Whatever.” King shrugged. ”You can believe it or not, it's up to you.”Mario still showed a wide grin. “Look, Mr. King, you're the one who doesn't want to lose.” He moved his dining chair closer to King's. Dinner was over, but Priska wouldn't let them leave. Because of what?As soon as King left his chair, he would definitely go into the room. And Priska couldn't interrogate and listen to what Mario had to say. She could also find out what really happened. Priska couldn't miss out on news like this, especially regarding t
