Aini turned on the television to kill her loneliness tonight because Dave wasn't home. According to Dave, this business trip will take approximately two days. Dave asked Aini to provide any reports that were in the office and at home. But until now, the WhatsApp message sent by Aini has not displayed a blue checkmark indicating that the young man has read it. even though the sun had been hiding ever since. Aini then concluded that Dave was busy. If the young man had free time, Aini was sure he would immediately reply to Aini's message. Aini opened an application that has a ready-to-eat food delivery service. He chose a serving of French fries and a pizza with a new topping from the variant he used to eat when he was in college. The girl, who has never had problems with her weight, then ordered a drink to complete the calorie levels that she would consume tonight. A few minutes after waiting, a man who worked as a messenger service informed Aini that he was already in the apartment
Dave woke Juna when it was morning. He himself was finished with his suit and getting ready for the office. While the door to Aini's room was still closed tightly. Dave had not told Aini that he had come home. Dave chose to let Aini rest while he watched. Juna squinted when she saw the image of someone like Dave standing in front of her. Then the shadow went away, and Juna heard Dave's voice mumbling something because she was still very sleepy. He was sure his life had not even been collected because he seemed to see Dave. "Dave?" Juna asked herself in surprise. He got up and held his head. How could he be hallucinating when Dave was home? Or was it just a dream? she thought. Juna grabbed the cell phone that she had put on the table. Then he looked to see if there was an incoming message from Dave's number, and when he saw nothing, Juna put her phone back down. He looked towards Aini's room, and it was still tightly closed. Meanwhile, it was seven o'clock in the morning. Juna wa
Arjun's POV. ... I am Arjun. You already know that. To be honest, I feel uncomfortable sitting quietly like this, waiting for the assistant and detective I hired to keep an eye on the Hendarmo family, who are constantly suing Aini. Not to mention Dave, who has recently been getting bullied by his ex-girlfriend. I don't know how much Aini and my aunt have suffered all this time living with the Hendarmo family. I really want to sue the family, but after all, Aini is still Hendarmo's blood and flesh, and I'm sure it won't be happy if I sue her father. But, to be honest, I can't bear to see Aini, who is crying and always has red eyes, come to campus. In fact, when he was doing an internship at Dave's office without Dave telling me that Aini was crying, I always found out from my assistant. There are so many surprising things that I can't help but let them languish one by one. Niar, a widow with one child, is too wild to be a mother. The stupid Hendarmo never even knew that his wife neve
Hendarmo's POV... The past is fun for me. Somehow I feel empty after marrying Niar. Even before I married Niar, even though I was separated from Aini and Laras, I felt I was still alive. Yes, my story is complicated. But I didn't expect to get to this point. I am at the stage where I have to sacrifice one of my children. But I had to do that because my financial condition was really declining. Reminiscing about the past, I smiled happily and wryly. because there are so many colours in my life. Flash back:I am the student with the highest score in the last two semesters. Already, because at the beginning I was defeated by a woman named Larasati. Ah, yes, the name of the village. I thought he was a village kid who migrated to the city and got a scholarship. To be honest, I was quite handsome at that time, and there were not a few women who wanted to be my girlfriend. I found out who she was—a woman named Larasati—on the second list of scholarship recipients after me. Yes, he was ori
Again Aini woke up with swollen eyes. This time she also felt herself being exhausted, crying too much. Indeed, this kind of thing was normal for Aini, but this time she was really exhausted. His heart also ached, even to breathe just as difficult. He glanced at the clock on his cell phone, realizing that it was too early to get up and get ready for Dave's office. With a deep sigh, Aini decided to get up from where she lay. Her eyes fell on the photo of her mother who was so happy in her youth. Why did things turn out like this? Aini began to find it difficult to wait for tomorrow, she even felt afraid that there would be many unpleasant incidents. Plus, some people keep making comments about the marital relationship between Leo and him. In fact, it was all the work of his father who wanted more money. Aini really doesn't know about the financial condition of her father or his company, no, to be more precise, Aini doesn't want to know or doesn't want to find out. It's just that he d
Aini knocked on Dave's office door, getting an almost immediate answer. With a big smile, Aini started to go inside and greeted Dave. Dave himself smiled when he realized that it was Aini who entered and not anyone else. Today he was a little busy, so he did not have time to see Aini. He felt a little guilty because he wasn't by his side, even though Aini was in dire need of support right now. The wrinkles on Dave's forehead couldn't be avoided by Aini so he returned a small smile. “Why frown like that?” asked Aini softly. He still kept the lunch box he made behind him, hoping that Dave hadn't noticed or seen him yet. “Just taking care of a few important documents,” said Dave. The man watched Aini carefully, as if he were assessing what the girl was doing. Aini who realized Dave's intense gaze, gripped the bag in her hand tighter. He was indeed going to give it, it was just that he still felt a little doubtful. What if Dave doesn't like it? What if it doesn't taste that good? Afrai
Lia and Aini spent their lunch hour chatting together. Thanks to Lia's help, Aini really felt better. His previously confused feelings were now calm. In fact, he was able to laugh again like before. Aini is truly grateful for Lia's help. However, when they had almost finished their food, an uneasy feeling filled Aini. He also couldn't calm down. Lia is certainly aware of this change. Aini, who was originally smiling a lot, suddenly didn't smile at all. He also seemed to be looking around like there was a problem. Realizing this made Lia pay attention to her surroundings like Aini did, she wanted to find out why she was like that. It didn't take long for Lia to realize the current issue. The gazes of the people around them clearly made Aini uncomfortable. Not only that, Lia could faintly hear what they were saying. “Look at that girl,” said one. “Didn't he get in the news because of that marriage thing?”“At first, I thought things like that only happened in fictional worlds.”a lau
“You have to go back already?” Lia frowned and looked at Aini, who smiled a little. His feelings were not calm at all, especially when he saw his friend like that. Lia really understands that Aini is trying to endure all her pain for herself. Lia felt she could not let this happen. “Yeah, I'll have to go in soon.” I'll go first, okay?” Aini waved her hand towards Lia and said goodbye to her best friend before disappearing among the crowd of people. “Aini...” Lia said, then took a deep breath. He took a quick glance at the direction where they had eaten earlier. If they hadn't eaten out, events like today would never have happened. Guilt filled Lia; she didn't know what else to do to pay for her actions. Aini must be feeling a little scared to get out of her house. They would never stop talking about it or anything like that. Only if he could stay beside Aini all the time would he be able to protect her? When Lia was busy thinking too deeply, she was startled by the sound of someon
“Turn off your cellphone first,” said Marissa in a very sweet tone, she even rubbed Dave's shoulder, who was still standing beside her. What Marissa said made him frown, he also bit his lower lip as he hesitated in making this decision. What if someone looks for her while she's turned off her phone? "Why? Don't want to do it? Well, if you don't want, that's fine too. We can talk about it some other time, right?”Dave originally wanted to agree with that saying, he even felt it was the correct choice. “Then, we can meet….”“Ah, too bad you would rather not hear this. In fact, I think this info is really missed. If you're left for just one day… hm, I doubt that, Aini will be fine.” Of course, Marissa said it all to make Dave worry again. Without saying anything, Dave finally took out his cell phone and turned it off. “You …?”“Quickly say. I've done what you wanted, right? Now is the time for you to say it.” Marissa, for a moment, could only gape. He didn't quite understand Dave's words
A sweet smile was etched on Leo's face when he watched Aini who was eating voraciously. "How? Do you like the food? Does everything feel good and suit you?”Aini who heard that just nodded her head lazilyin fact, she really didn't want to eat in a place far away. However, when the first meal was served, Aini actually felt that everything tasted excellent. That feeling made him take more and more, like a person who was so hungry and had not eaten in the past few days. Indeed, it tasted that good, it's no wonder Leo also liked the food here to the point where he looked more relaxed than usual. When the only food left was dessert, Aini's face had changed quite a lot. At first, she looked a little annoyed and there was no smile on her face, but now Aini's face was radiant and filled with smile. For Leo himself, it was like happiness for him, to be able to make Aini smile broadly. When the woman raised her head and looked at Leo, she also smiled so sweetly that Leo felt like capturing it.
The wrinkles on Arjuna's forehead seem to be his trademark. The troubles he experienced seem to have no end, to the point that he thought that he had been born with a fate full of bad luck. In his chaotic thinking, Arjuna finally took a deep breath. He could see Lia who had read his message, but he still couldn't see her reply even though it had been several minutes. How could Arjuna not be worried when it was like this? Still thinking about the possible, Arjuna tapped his forehead, trying to think quickly and also make a rational decision. At a time like this, how could he make a rash decision? He could fall into the abyss if the wrong choice. Because he didn't know what to do anymore, Arjun finally choose to contact Sean, hope that his best friend could help him. He also didn't forget to send messages to Dave that the person didn't read at all. “I have to meet Lia.” The tone given by Arjuna this time showed his dominan, as if he wanted to say that, he would create a path in his lif
“Salsa why suddenly calling me again?” Lia, who was still in her office, turned off the phone with Aini not because there was a problem with her work. Instead, he gets a message from Salsa saying not to tell Aini anything and calls her back immediately. “Hello? Lia? Do you have spare time?” Salsa's voice echoed in Lia's ear. Hearing that Lia rubbed her forehead, it was obvious that Salsa's voice this time didn't sound calm at all. Did something happen to him? “Where are you now? Let me get to you.”“I'm scared, Lia.” The words were followed by vibrations, making Lia sit up straight. “Lia… you… you don't come, okay?”"What are you talking about? How can I not come if you are like that? Anyway, send your location now!”Lia's muffled groans could now be heard. He frowned and glanced around, making sure it wasn't from where he was. After confirming that the voice was from the connected phone, Lia could feel her heart beating faster and faster. He was questioning what happened to Salsa a
Aini shook her head as she was still calling Lia. Because Dave was not at the office, Aini was freer. In fact, he had just received a message saying that Aini could be free to come home at what time because it might take him a long time to return. Of course, this brought a smile to Aini's face, she immediately called Lia to tell her this. His best friend, since he knew that Aini was almost attacked, ordered him never to go alone. What Sean said the other day was true. But now, he could only take a deep breath, listening to Lia's scolding. Her best friend was like turning into an angry mother. There wasn't a moment he spent not scolding himself or Salsa. Luckily, Salsa herself was used to seeing Lia like that, so she could ignore it like there was no problem. He can also laugh like this issue is everyday food, sometimes he also supports what Lia says. "I know, I know. I'm not going home alone. Again… tonight I have an event.”“Eh? Dinner with whom? Why am I just hearing about it now?
“Quickly too,” said Marsha, who was sitting in a café with a woman, different from the two days before. Marsha's words caught Marissa's attention, she tried to peek at Marsha's cellphone only to see the screen had turned black. A squeak escaped the woman's lips before she finally sat back in her chair sweetly. “You haven't seen Dave for a long time, have you?”"Why do you know about him? I'm not in the mood to hear his name at all. Just imagine, I was kicked out of his office!” Marissa cried excitedly, or furiously. Even though he had often told this problem to Marsha, it seemed like he was still not satisfied to channel all his feelings. Marsha even smiled awkwardly at Marissa's words and actions, but chose to remain silent. “You… miss him, right? Want to meet him?” Marissa now gaped, she blinked several times to make sure what she heard was true. Marissa tilted her head, causing Marsha to take a deep breath. It turns out that having a friend like Marissa is also quite difficult. “I
Amused giggles sounded in the café that morning. A woman patted the shoulder of the man beside her, while the victim who was hit had a sour face. He was not at all happy with the attitude of the woman who did that. Marsha, who couldn't stop laughing, rubbed her eyes that were dripping with tears from laughing too much. He also didn't even feel sorry for the other diners who seemed bothered by his shrill voice, so unpleasant to the ear in the morning. “You're just making it up anyway... laughing? You're so funny.” Leo rolled his eyes lazily, he had absolutely no interest in discussing this matter. Why did he have to tell it in detail? “This is none of your business, is it? Then why are you meddling in my affairs? Don't you want to take care of that, Lia?” Marsha, who heard that, immediately, pursed her lips spoiled. He wasn't the least bit pleased with Leo's attitude, which was always like this. With a small snort, Marsha immediately folded her arms in front of her chest and fixed he
Arjuna, who doesn't usually drink, is seen in a crowded bar. While the people there seemed to be having fun, Arjuna actually looked like someone who was lost. From the drink he drank, the way he dressed, to the expression on his face. It doesn't describe the happiness there at all. It was clear that he was waiting for someone, otherwise how could Arjuna be in a place like this. After taking a look at his surroundings, a sigh escaped Arjuna before he took a sip of the juice specially made by the bartender in front of him. A look of confusion and displeasure appeared on the bartender's face. “Waiting for someone?” The softer sounding voice of the bartender startled Arjuna. She looked at the man before nodding. “Woman?” Arjuna quickly shook his head. “No, friend, a man. Colleagues too,” said Arjuna briefly, he didn't feel the need or the need to explain his relationship with Sean at all. Again, it wasn't like he was going to see the bartender again, so why was he going into such detail
“Do not come close!” cried Aini who threw her groceries at the person behind her, almost hitting the person's face. When it came to it, of course Aini would be fine now, but her suspicions were off the mark. Because he failed to hit the first person, he quickly caught Aini immediately, holding Aini's hand, so he couldn't do anything. “Who said we'd go easy on you just because you're a girl?” Aini bit her lower lip so hard that it bled, but that person still didn't care. “Even if you bite your tongue to try to kill yourself, we are fine because there are no orders to capture alive. So just do what you want.”Understanding the situation, Aini clenched her fists and ended up pressing herself against the wall, that way no one would be able to attack her from behind. They are both, but who knows if there will be another person added? The person holding Aini's arm also didn't force her to stand close to him at all, as if he already knew that Aini couldn't escape. For that reason, the two m
