View MoreThe week has ended with a tiring and challenging one for Ava Nicole, and now Saturday is in. A weekend she likes the most where she can hike, play her favorite sport, which is badminton, and try to find peers in the bar where her friend is working.Early in the morning, her father calls her on the phone, saying they are heading to her home for a bigger announcement. They come with an important person for her to deal with."Dad, I want to try playing my favorite sport again. Can I cancel meeting your pals today?" she requested in a soft tone.Her father is always spoiling her about the activity she wants to do, but this time, Mr. Hillson never agreed on her decision."Ava, my friend has a handsome son. He wants you to meet him. They are so kind, dear. I swear.""Dad, did I tell you not to entertain boys to match on me? I'm not that old to not be married again.""Ava, you're running twenty-six this year. Isn't that old to remain single?""Yes, dad. I think so. But if you insist, you can
"Good morning, Ms.—" the woman greets, bearing a wide fake smile.Slap!"Ouch," Annie touches her cheek using her left hand, while the other hand throws the papers she is holding."What's wrong with you?" she angrily asks while still holding her red cheek."What's wrong with me? Read this!" The woman handed her MacBook to Annie, for her to watch the news spreading throughout the country.Annie breathes calmly, thinking about the reason she will give to her friend to which she can defend herself out of anger."I'm not the one who wrote that article. I'm not a reporter, you know? I'm a marketing encoder now!"Her tone of speaking obviously shows her aggressiveness to fight for her pride. Even in the midst of facing the truth, she must divert her story to her lies to enable her to become a famous hero inside the company."And why did I take all the blame about that news?" she adds."Because you lied to me yesterday. Not only me, but also the CEO of this company. You lied about your accid
Her heart is racing, pulses throughout her body are beating fast, and while turning her head in every corner, patients who have blood flowing on the floor while medical employees are dragging its hospital metal beds. She is thinking about her friend, who has just been told earlier that she was in an accident due to a car crash."Annie," she mistakenly calls, building its metal bed as she assumes it's her.

RECENT TIMES...Gerald is standing in front of his office's window, imagining things that motivate him to sue his ex-wife. Their wedding, their lovemaking, and even the latest romance he shared with her.It's Monday, the scheduled day for M.E.S.A. (Marketing Establishment and Statistical Authority), in which each company has representatives for selling their own products in their chosen establishment. His assistant is coming to see him."Mr. Hallway, can we go to A-Kezha Mall now? It's already time."He turns his head, staring at her face, who isn't looking at him, and walks slowly, closing to her post.He even moves his jaw a little closer to her, but still, Ava's eyes are still intact on the floor."What if I will not come because you are not there? Would you miss me?""Yuck!" She pushes his chest, rolling her eyeballs.Then she moves back saying, "Gerald, you're now old for sweet words. It's disgusting. Grrr!"Ava Nicole walks faster going to the door, holding its knob without turn
FLASHBACK five years agoWhile staring at them, Nicole's tears continuously flowed down, causing her chest to close up—hard to breathe, actually. The day her husband wanted her to sign the divorce paper wasn't really the day they ended up together. It was her plan not to sign because she promised to help him recover and prove she was worthy of him even if she was sick.But there, she saw him in her eyes; with a woman she had instincts, they had feelings for each other. Instead of making a scene there, Nicole chose to turn back and left with her friend."Jay, let's go. There's bad air from here. I need to find a fresh air that suits your special day tonight, so come on," she invited her friend, pulling his hands to follow her while the other hand was rolling the wheels of her chair.***She stamped the table in front of him, handing the paper filled with complete information, and signed it as she confirmed that she agreed to have them divorced."I know that signature is your happiness.
She keeps hiding, following, and running just to see the relationship status between the reporter girl and her ex-husband. Ava Nicole tries to find her answers to her many questions five years ago.Before she decided to come to New York and show her identity to her past family, she thought of hiding her feelings, hardening them, and enduring them to torture her past lover, seeing her better healing. But this time, none of them are managed because her jealousy dominates.Gerald and Stacey go to a place where her tracker points. It's an empty, broken building full of dust covered with a black net as a fence. Neighborhood buildings are far away from it. It seems that the vast whole area is occupied with grassland and a small destroyed construction.They don't have bodyguards to safeguard them, but rather they go alone, which makes Ava Nicole think wicked ideas of what they both do."As you can see, Ms. Stacey, this area is dirty and abandoned, but I have a big plan for this. A plan I mad
It is hard for Ava Nicole to guess who talked outside the door and called Mr. Hallway "Babe," where she is at the full extent of willingness to give herself to that man. They stop attempting kissing when the two women arrive. Ava assumes that only one girl appears to their front, but she is mistaken.The two women open the door, staring at her a bit without blinking their eyes like a mannequin standing in the mall. Annie, her best friend, and Stacey, the reporter girl who ended her to sign the divorce paper to her husband, are in stun, facing them and holding each other's shoulders.The ex-lovers stand back to their post as if nothing has happened.Ava looks at the two women whose eyes are stuck to her. Although she recognizes them, she keeps ignoring and tolerating them, for she wants them to discover who she is."Who is she, b—boss Gerald?" asks by her best friend.That is surprising to hear from her. Her best friend doesn't recognize her? What a blast encounter they have!Annie was
