"Is it true, I'm the one who is stupid with Adimasta. But if let him with the girls, can't he betray me next? I don't want to be like mommy, daddy left her. Mommy loved daddy very much, I know that. In fact, love is not enough." Clarissa spoke to herself.

It shaking! Look! Uncle, you got one more!!" Screams of joy rang out among the cool sounds of nature.The boy by the side of the girl who was screaming with joy quickly pulled the fishing line and indeed, a sizable tilapia fish caught on the hook."Cool!!
