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
The ticking ticks of the clock could be heard clearly in the silent night, even breathing could be heard clearly at this moment as it was being felt by a man with the tension surging through him.His chest moved up and down along with his irregular breathing, his eyes looked towards the bedroom door which was still tightly closed with doubt that was thrashing more and more in his heart."She's really crazy, but I like her madness," said Ed Shane, who then grinned.The light blanket that had covered his body for the past few minutes he pulled away. He got up from his seat and stepped on tiptoe so his footsteps would not be heard by other people who were also in the same house.His hands trembled slightly when he gripped the doorknob, his heart was beating faster along with his breathing which was also increasingly irregular. Without realizing it, cold sweat also began to appear on several parts of his body.His mind kept imagining that if Lilyana opened her eyes and saw himself with Iv
"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?"***
"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
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
"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
