Once again Lilyana wiped away the tears that might still be left there. The tears that managed to make her eyes red and part of her face moist.She then shook her head. "No, I'm just sleepy.""If you're sleepy why don't you just sleep, Honey?" Ed Shane approached his wife, stroking the shoulder of the woman who looked so fragile.Again Lilyana shook her head. "I want to wait for you.""Oh, have you had dinner yet?" continued Lilyana asked.Now it was Ed Shane's turn to shake his head. "Not yet.""Hmm." Lilyana looked thoughtful. "Shall we have omelettes tonight?""Great idea, I'll make it for you!""Is it true?" The woman's eyes opened, shining with joy."Of course." Ed Shane nodded firmly.The two of them headed towards the kitchen. Now there are only the two of them in the house."You sit here," said Ed Shane who then pulled one of the chairs around the dining table.The man then put his cellphone, wallet and tuxedo on the table. After that he took an apron and put it on.The pink a
Along the way, his mind could'nt stay still. He remembered his wife's chatter last night and the woman's honest words this morning.The pain in his heart was truly unbearable. It felt like he wanted to be face to face with that insolent man right away and have his face shattered with the angry punches he was about to do.Not even fifteen minutes, the car that was traveling at high speed earlier has now arrived at the courtyard of the cafe. After parking his vehicle, Ed Shane got out of the car.It can be seen that Chris' motorcycle is already there, which means the owner is in the cafe. He couldn't wait any longer, his hands clenched into fists and all the anger gathered there.Ed Shane's punch managed to tear the corners of the man's lips slightly. Again there was a commotion in the cafe.There were screams from several frightened employees. They all tried to dodge, afraid that they would become a target too."Stop it Mr. Shane, stop it!" One of the male employees who was brave enoug
"No problem, this will be resolved and there is no need to involve the police." Margaretha said as she got up from her seat. "Have a nice day."The police station is not so crowded now. Lilyana and Ed Shane walked hand in hand."He deserves it," mumbled Lilyana who was right on her husband's left."I did right, right?""Yes, you did it right."Lilyana reached into a small bag pliers wanted to hang on one of her shoulders. A flat object was taken out from there, a white cell phone with a maroon case protecting it."I'll call dad in a minute.""Oh, where is father?" asked Ed Shane who remembered his words about going with Lilyana this morning."He's still at the restaurant, I'll give him word I'll be right over."The voice call has started to connect, the smartphone is brought closer to one of his ears. But at the same time, Ed Shane also seized the smartphone."What's wrong, Honey?"Lilyana's smartphone is still in Ed Shane's hands. The man smiled. "I don't think we need to tell him an
Back to her office, on the table there is a cup of coffee that still emits white smoke.It seems not long before her arrival, someone came and put it on the table."Huft." Lilyana sighed, she sat down on the chair and took the cup of hot coffee.She slowly blew it and sipped the coffee, the taste was slightly refreshing."Come on, eyes, don't feel sleepy before all this work is done."Her hands were back on the laptop keyboard, she typed a few letters there and checked the files next to her.About fifteen minutes later, when Lilyana was so focused on her work, the cellphone that she placed on the table not far from the pile of files vibrated. The screen lights up and shows a voice call."Ed? What did he call me for?" Lilyana frowned.Curiosity made her immediately slide the screen up, making the voice call now connected to her."Hello, what's wrong, Honey?" Her forehead still frowned."I have something for you, come out, I'm already in front."Her eyes looked to the outside of the res
While turning around, Ed Shane quickly ended the ongoing voice call with Lilyana. He didn't want Lilyana to suspect him or even find out that he was actually now with Chris and Ivy."What needs to be done? Everything is done!" emphasized Ed Shane."Does your beating me mean everything is over? No, Ed! It's just the beginning for me!""You, you started first, Chris! You messaged Ivy and provoked her into coming to Lily and saying terrible things. You are the real problem here!" emphasized Ed Shane.Hearing the explanation from Ed Shane, Chris frowned. He stared deep into Ed Shane's eyes."You and Lilyana said the same thing, it means the problem lies with her!" Chris pointed at Ivy who at that moment lowered her head."She's didn't wrong!" defended Ed Shane. "You're wrong, you're the one causing trouble, Chris! You want me to beat you up again, huh?!"Ed Shane was already clenching his fists tightly, his emotions running high again."You see, this wound isn't dry yet. If you hit me aga
The voices of people in the food court in one of the malls sounded indistinct and quite loud. The atmosphere was so lively full of jokes and laughter from the people who were there. But not with a table that is not far from the elevator.The three people sitting around the table fell silent. The three are one man and two women.The tense expression on they face was predictable if the three of them were discussing something very serious there."Which one do you choose, Mom?" Chris asked once again because he never got an answer.The woman who was asked the question actually crossed her arms. She seemed to be trying to stay relaxed."Just talk to them, Ed Shane and Lilyana won't believe you since all the evidence is pointing at you now."Hearing the answer from his own mother, Chris smiled wryly. "Are you sure?"One of his other hands came out of the hoodie pocket that had been the hand's hiding place. At the same time a cell phone was also taken out and held tightly.The screen is lit
"You break the agreement?" Ed Shane frowned.During the time she was with him, Lilyana never told anything about the agreement or anything like that. Ed Shane only knows that Chris was Lilyana's boyfriend at school without knowing why the two split up, a pact and what made Margaretha hate his wife so much.Even Ed Shane didn't know who Margaretha was either. If Ivy hadn't kept mentioning her name, he probably would never have heard of it either.Lilyana nodded her head. Tears then rolled down her cheeks.Meanwhile, Chris was busy reaching into the pocket of the hoodie he was wearing. From inside he took a piece of crumpled paper that was already brownish in color covered with dust, cobwebs and even dirt and other debris.He lifted the piece of paper. "Here's the agreement."The piece of paper was placed on the table which Ed Shane immediately took. With a little speed but still careful, Ed Shane unfolded the paper that had been folded into several folds and formed a small square.The
It was late at night and Chris was also in a very drunken state, it was impossible for someone to ask someone who was under the influence of alcohol. The distance to the hotel or inn is quite far and it's also impossible to leave Chris alone in this bar while drunk as he is now.After doing some considerations that she had thought about beforehand, Lilyana finally nodded her head."Then we'll take him home now," said Lilyana, agreeing to her husband's suggestion.But suddenly, Ivy interrupted. 'Th--then--w--what about me?'The woman's eyes looked at Ed Shane and Lilyana alternately, she showed a facial expression filled with sadness and pity.Hearing Ivy's question, Lilyana and Ed Shane exchanged glances for a few moments. Until finally Ed Shane looked away while exhaling heavily."But there's only one empty room in my house, do you mind sleeping on the couch?" said Lilyana.Receiving an answer from Lilyana, Ivy immediately nodded her head. "It doesn't matter, anywhere as long as I ca
"Who's Ed Shane?" asked Diana who was also looking in the same direction.The eyes of the two of them looked towards an old car moving from the parking lot of the cellphone shop."My husband," Lilyana answered briefly, her eyes still looking at the car."Maybe he wants to give you a cell phone," Diana said calmly.Lilyana nodded her head slowly. "Yes, maybe."While on his motorcycle, Chris also saw the same thing. In fact, he could see it more clearly.His eyes met with a pair of eyes that looked surprised when he saw him."Ed?" Chris whispered, he frowned. "Is he with Ivy?"He even almost hit Diana's car which was moving so slowly in front of him. Luckily, he immediately braked his motorbike to a stop.The three of them walked towards a cellphone shop that also provided cellphone repair services."Lily," Chris called softly.Lily turned around."I saw Ed Shane's car.""He wants to buy my birthday gift." Lilyana answered quickly.Although in her heart she also felt suspicious about wh
It was clear how Lilyana felt so annoyed with the woman after she apologized to her. Her eyes never glanced at Diana who was still standing not far from her bed."But it's not about your cell phone. I didn't know about that at all. I want to apologize to you because I slapped you this afternoon."This time Lilyana's eyes glanced slightly towards Diana. If it's true that Diana didn't know that Lilyana's cell phone had fallen, she would be very ashamed of what she said earlier."If you still don't believe it, go ahead, but you better not accuse other people like that. I also don't know whether you brought your cellphone or not, where you put the cellphone, I also don't know. Moreover, you also don't have the slightest evidence that I was the cause of your cellphone falling into the sink," Diana explained long, then walked towards her bed.She used the white blanket on the bed to cover her body from toe to chest. She didn't fall asleep immediately, but turned on her cellphone first.Whil
Lucy's words slowed down as she heard a shriek from a woman who was about three rooms away from her.Not only Lucy, Lilyana and Julia also approached the sound source. The three of them looked at the piece of paper taped to the side of the bedroom door."Diana ... Lilyana," Lucy said reading the text gently.The woman then turned to Diana who was still standing in the same place.She really did not accept this room choice. Her hands crossed in front of her chest, her eyes stared intently at Lilyana and Julia, not only that, her breath was also panting irregularly, depicting how annoyed her heart was."I don't want to share a room with her! I want to talk to the committee to change it!" annoyed, who then got up and walked with heavy footsteps.The commotion she created made the people around the passage speechless. They all watched as Diana was walking past them to meet the event organizers.The eyes of most of them followed where the woman went and in a few seconds, the alley that was
At least Chris could breathe a little easier after knowing that Lilyana really was. Especially after he heard the voices of two women in the toilet laughing together."I'm going back to the meeting room for lunch, do you want to come with me?"Chris shook his head. "I want to wait for the two of them to come out first.""Aw, but I don't know how long they'll be in there. Maybe the two of them will spend a little more time in there.""No problem, I'll still wait," Chris said in a cold tone without looking at Julia who was still standing in front of him.Hearing the answer from Chris actually made Julia's heart a little disappointed. Even though what she expected before saying the invitation was Chris who would return to the meeting room together with her. But what she got instead was a rejection."Okay, I'm going now," said Julia, who then stepped on her feet slowly.Not without reason, but Julia did deliberately move her feet so slowly. She even turned several times to where Chris was
Of course Lilyana felt so surprised by what Chris had said. The man had never looked so angry as he did before.Sweat beaded on the guy's temple which he quickly wiped away. His breath was also blowing roughly irregular."Chris, come on, this is just a game anyway." Lucy tried to calm him down."But she really admires me, if it's like this my life will be disrupted!" annoyed Chris."So what if she really likes you? She has also admired you for a long time. Imagine, since school days she has admired you but you never considered her and her feelings existed. She must be very happy to be able to express her feelings like that," explained Julia."Yes, I know, I know how painful it is to like someone without being able to approach him, but she shouldn't have expressed her feelings in front of many people like this. She can say it one-on-one with me, right?""Maybe everyone saw her courage in expressing her feelings. It's rare that a woman wants to express her feelings first, most of us can
"Huft."Ivy breathed heavily, she rolled her eyes expressing the annoyance in her heart."Why didn't you tell him last night?""I had intended to say it last night when I was at the restaurant, but I was confused about what to say to him, when I was thinking that the restaurant employee was calling me. Then I also thought of you, I was afraid you would wake up because you had previously forbidden me to leave," explained Ed Shane in detail."Then you blame me?!" annoyed Ivy."No, Ivy. It's not what you think. I mean I meant to say it last night, but I forgot because--""Because of me?" interrupted Ivy before Ed Shane could finish his sentence.There was a breath that was so heavy from Ed Shane. "No, Ivy, not because of you. It was the restaurant clerk who made me forget to tell Gladwin last night."Ivy was silent hearing Ed Shane's explanation, the woman got up from her seat and then walked towards the balcony of the room.The morning view looks so beautiful. The sun shone in the easte
The corn dog in Ed Shane's hand still had half left. The man took a sip of the cola in a can he kept next to him."You never want to understand, Ivy. I told you, things are different now.""Then tell me who do you choose? Me or her?"Ed Shane breathed again. He put the corn dog on the package.His eyes stared into a pair of hazel eyes in front of him. A pair of adorable little eyes."Of course I choose you, Ivy. You have succeeded in making my wish come true, while she did not. Of course I chose you, Honey," Ed Shane explained gently while continuing to rub her head."Then leave her," Ivy insisted.Ed Shane's strokes of the girl's head stopped. He stared into the pair of eyes in front of him."I can't," Ed Shane said softly as he removed his hand from Ivy's head."Why, Honey?""I can't do that, Ivy," Ed Shane insisted.Ivy shifted her seat to face Ed Shane completely. "Why can't you do it? Tell me, do you still love her?"Actually, Ed Shane didn't have the heart to say it in front of
"Sssttt ...." Lucy put her index finger near her lips, she was annoyed with Julia. "Don't say it out loud, other people can hear it!"The three then glanced at Lilyana who seemed to lower her head. She looked embarrassed when the news was heard by other people let alone her own school friends."Y--yes," Lilyana said while nodding her head.Actually Chris felt sorry for the woman. "If you don't want to talk about it, there's no need to answer, Lily."The woman raised her head again, which a few seconds ago continued to look down. Her eyebrows furrowed as her eyes looked where Chris was."All that is true, what is there to hide? Nothing." Lilyana said firmly, even though her eyes couldn't lie."They said ... you still employ that employee?" asked Julia next, looking still very excited.Again Lilyana nodded her head, this time with a firmer motion. "Yeah, how do you know? It seems you know a lot about that.""Why don't you just kick her out, Lily?""She also needs a job." That uncomforta
"Hahahaha," Lucy chuckled at Ivy's response.She thought the woman was very funny because she had been silent all along and when she mentioned Ed Shane and Lilyana she immediately responded."Are you that curious?""Of course, Lucy. Say it quickly!"Lucy smiled as she glanced at Ivy who was sitting next to her. "On the twentieth there will be my school reunion. You can be alone with Ed Shane for the rest of the day since the reunion runs from eight in the morning until the same time. It's up to you who you go on a date with, but one thing for sure is that tomorrow you'll have to pay me after what you promised."Ivy was silent to hear the explanation from Lucy. A good news but not good at the same time."Why is the reunion taking so long?" Ivy asked, trying to change the subject."Because later there will be many events throughout the whole day. Many of our that want the reunion to go on for a long time, they want to say goodbye to their friends and also ... their ex-lover maybe?"***
