The sound of Lia's breathing caught Arjuna's attention, who was busy with the documents in his room. Immediately the man raised his head, noticed Lia who was lying on the sofa in Arjuna's room, regardless of the clock that was starting to show night. To confirm the time, Arjuna glanced at the watch in his hand, watched it for a few moments before facing Lia who had sighed again. Arjuna's frown was unavoidable, he felt both confused and worried. “There is a problem?” asked Arjuna finally. He who was busy with the students' papers at the university now couldn't focus because of Lia's actions. Instead of answering, the girl just sighed again, it was clear that she had no intention of replying. Arjuna had a hard time holding back his anger at Lia's attitude. “Aini … it's okay, right?” Lia now rose from her position, sat up straight, but her head was still deeply bowed. He really didn't know what else to do. He was worried about his friend. Because of the rules made by her stepmother, Ai
Aini, who had eaten dinner with her family, could only be silent throughout the meal because she was afraid, now lying on her bed. He had been living back in his house for several days, but he felt like he had been there for several years. The tired feeling inside Aini couldn't be denied anymore, she could only accept her fate and wait until she found a way out of all the problems she was currently facing. At the same time, he also hoped that Lia could help him. When Aini checked her cellphone, she didn't see any messages from Lia at all, making her feel worried and at the same time sad. Maybe Lia was having business or was busy with her work, so she also couldn't force Lia to stay by her side. With all hope in her heart, Aini wanted Lia to reply to her message immediately. Because of the pressure that was inside her, Aini couldn't even calm down to pull herself together and put herself to sleep. “Ah… Lia, I miss you,” said Aini, who squeezed her cell phone before leaving the flat o
“Aini, dinner!” cried Hendramo, who had just returned. He pounded on Aini's door. However, the child did not come out. The wrinkles on Hendramo's forehead increased; he tried to open the door to his son's room only to find it locked. Hendramo struggled again to knock on the door until finally Aini woke up. "Yes?" he answered in a hoarse voice. Hendramo, who saw that Aini had woken up, looked annoyed. "Sorry, I overslept."Hendramo didn't say anything and immediately went to the dining table. "Quickly come to the dining table; food is ready."Aini immediately nodded her head; it didn't matter if Hendramo didn't see her. She immediately ran to follow Hendramo, who took big steps because of a confused feeling. Aini could only bite her lower lip with her heart beating very fast. Many questions swirled in his head until he felt confused about where to start. However, the most troubling question is the reason why. Why did his father want them to eat together? When Aini arrived at the din
As usual, once the day was over, Leo finally came. It's not that he just came, but the man seemed to have been waiting for a long time. As soon as he saw Aini come out, he immediately waved his hand so excitedly. Usually Aini would feel embarrassed or annoyed when she did this, but now she actually smiled a little before running to Leo's side. Maybe he did it all because he wanted to show Dave that he was really serious about what he said—that he would fall in love with Leo again. Aini knows that Leo is not the best man she will ever get, but she will continue to fight to make this a valuable thing. He also wanted to give Leo a chance; maybe he had changed. People can change when they are serious about their feelings, and it can happen to Leo too. Or at least that's what Aini hopes for now. "He and the boss had a fight, right?" whispered one of the workers who came out. "They seem distant today, maybe because of this man.""He looks like a spoiled child who was given everything bec
Hendramo, who felt exhausted that day, decided to take a taxi to his house. His eyes felt heavy and like they would close immediately if he tried to keep them open. If something unpleasant happens while he is on the road, such as an accident, then he will only get bothered instead of getting a good rest. After all, because this morning he was too busy, he actually left his car keys with Leo, who had stopped by to tell him how his morning with Aini was. It was obvious that Hendramo was very happy when he heard Leo's story. That way, they could immediately continue their meeting to discuss the wedding date. Everything that happened went so smoothly that Hendramo couldn't stop smiling. When he looked up at the night sky, which was lit up by the lights, he could imagine what Aini's wedding reception would be like. Not only will it be luxurious, but it will be filled with clients who can become investors in it. Just as his eyes were about to close, suddenly his cell phone rang. He took a
To meet her best friend, Aini lied to Leo and said she would look for a dress for their wedding later, specifically for Lia. That's why that day, Leo didn't pick up Aini and allowed Aini to approach his friend. As soon as the two met, Lia immediately ran to Aini and hugged her tightly, making a sound like a stifled cry and rubbing her best friend's shoulder. Even though it's only been a few days, it still feels like it's been a long time. Aini, who had let go of Lia's embrace, looked at the hand that still had bandages on it. The wrinkles on her forehead couldn't be avoided until Lia decided to cover her hands behind her body. Her gaze was panic-like, and she immediately glanced around, trying to avoid Aini's gaze. She had absolutely no idea of lying to Aini. What did he have to say about her hands? Not wanting Lia to dodge, Aini immediately pulled her friend's arm gently. “Why is this? Why don't you tell me?”“It's okay, really!” Aini gave a look like she wanted to say that she k
“Aini!” complained Lia who has now come out with her first dress. Aini, who heard her friend's voice, immediately looked up, realizing Lia's presence, who looked awkward and very uncomfortable. The dress that didn't have sleeves clearly made Lia feel too open. The expression of annoyance on Lia's face managed to make Aini chuckle softly. “Lia… why do you put on an expression like that? It doesn't match the dress you're wearing!” Aini's words made Lia even more upset. "I really can't wear a dress! Why do you have to dress like this, anyway?!” scolded Lia who tugged at the dress, trying to walk freely. This action made Aini laugh even louder, causing Lia's resentment to grow. "Ah! I don't know, I'm just changing now!”“Yeah, you try something else first. There are many options that you can try, really. Those who don't have hands can be wiped off the list, right?” Seeing Lia starting to walk back into the locker room, Aini could only chuckle and shake her head, focusing on her cell pho
Lia was seen lying on her bed alone. Since Aini has returned to her parents' house, Lia has felt immense loneliness. In fact, he hoped to be alone with his best friend. When he was busy preparing his thesis, he could chat with Aini, making the sleepiness inside him disappear. Unfortunately, now he can't feel all of these things anymore. The regret inside him couldn't be accommodated, making frustration suffocate his body. When he looked at the ceiling of his room, he was reminded of the expression given by Salsa. Actually, he wanted to ask the woman, the reason for doing all this. It's just that he was afraid that the answer he heard from Salsa was not at all what he expected. Because of that, Lia didn't want to put any hope at all and stayed away from questions. Even though it feels like Salsa needs their help. In the end, a long sigh left Lia's lips. "I have to tell Arjuna about this matter. The dress is… pretty, anyway, but why… does it have to be worn at the wrong time?” muttere
