Her mind wandered far back, to the moment when she signed the agreement with Chris' biological mother."I told you not to go near him anymore, but why are you doing it now?!"The flash of lightning made the beating heart quicken. The two of them clashed on a cold, rainy afternoon.It's no longer as if, but this time it's real. The sound of thunder that boomed made the atmosphere even more tense."No--""Aren't you ashamed?! You already have a husband, already have a family, and you're still chasing after my son!" The woman interrupted Lilyana's words.Her mouth was silent with lips that closed perfectly. She couldn't say anything else after being stopped by the woman.This time she realized her mistake, she shouldn't be close to Chris because of the agreement she signed."I--I'm sorry." Lilyana said softly, even though she felt completely innocent because she wasn't the one who approached the guy first."Great! Don't do that again or ....""Or what?" Lilyana whispered, feeling curious
After the rain had stopped, the woman named Reta immediately left the narrow alley which was now muddy and disgusting.The steps of hee feet walked quickly, jumping every time there was a puddle and trying her best not to get her expensive shoes dirty from the remaining rain puddles."How dare that slut approach my daughter again, she also asked to work together to open a cafe. B*stard!"Her frustration continued to spill out along the way. The dirty sentences filled with anger kept ejected from the lips with bright red lipstick.She reached out, stopped a taxi that happened to be passing by and got into it."Hurry up, Sir."Turning to the direction she had come before, she saw Lilyana who had just come out of a narrow, muddy alley full of puddles and disgusting. Reta sighed, there was hatred that was so strong in her heart.It didn't take long, she had arrived in front of the cafe. From where she was now, it was clear that many people were crowding inside as if something was going on
Chris's mind wandered back several years ago. When he just set foot in a high school which has been his favorite since he was in elementary school.His days are excited to go to school, none other than because of the presence of a woman he loves at school.Not only did he go to school to study, but Chris also wanted to see the beauty of this woman, even though it was only from a distance."Why don't you approach her?" A girl approached and asked.His eyes darted and his head shook. He also smiled lightly hearing that. "I'm afraid my honesty will actually make her away from me.""Why? Isn't that great?" It seemed that the woman frowned, not understanding the meaning of Chris's sentence earlier.There was a rough breath coming from Chris' direction, he was still focused on the girl who was sitting and joking with her classmates."If I tell her how I feel, it'll go well if she likes me too. But what if she doesn't?"You can see the long-haired woman with a pink hairpin turning her head,
Last night it rained quite heavily, leaving puddles in some parts. A motorbike sped past the puddle, ready to dirty the clothes of anyone who passed near it.His eyes looked straight ahead. His chest rose and fell as his breath continued to roar behind the helmet he was wearing.The screech of the brakes sounded loud enough and the bike stopped."Be careful when driving!" said a woman who only slightly protruded her head from inside the car.From behind the black helmet, Chris just smiled a friendly smile. It was clear earlier that the car had crossed carelessly, he was just riding his motorbike as usual."Did you hear?!" She asked again, her wide open eyes reflecting how emotional she was.The visor that had covered his face had now been removed. Chris smiled and on his motorbike approached the car."No problem, next time be careful." Chris said softly with a smile.The woman in the car who was around thirty years old was silent. Her eyes looked at Chris in disbelief.But that view w
Lilyana entered her office, she tidied up some files that were on the desk.The day feels very lazy to move. Her body just wanted to lie on the bed enjoying a short day, but unfortunately today was so long and she had to move.Shortly after Lilyana sat down on the work chair, there was a loud knock on the door."Please come in," said Lilyana in a louder voice.After a few seconds, the door to the room opened and a woman was seen from behind it. It was clear from the look on her face that she was afraid to enter her superior's room."What's wrong? Please sit down," Lilyana said again.Her legs swung closer to the desk and she sat down while keeping her head down."So ..." She seemed hesitant to say it."Why?""Something happened at the new cafe.""What happened anyway? Could you be more specific.""I heard that there was a fight there." Lilyana's eyes opened slightly wider than usual. "Mr. Shane is now being taken to the hospital.""What?!" Lilyana said loudly while getting up from her
There's nothing else to do but nod your head. Everything that the woman before him had said was true.No matter how selfish he is, no matter how the world hates him. Someone who is so ambitious will keep trying until something he wants can be achieved."You're selfish," Chris said with a bitter smile."It's no different from you."The two left the cafe after thirty minutes of chatting. Along the way, Chris stared far ahead. He thought about how to make Lilyana realize that everything she did was only to help that woman.Meanwhile, Ivy, still in a taxi, decides to call someone."Hello, what's up, Ivy?" a woman's voice came from across there."Is Lily there?""Nothing, she left after hearing the news that her husband was in the hospital. Did you know about that?""Wh-what?!" Ivy pretended like she didn't know anything. "Wh-why did he get into the hospital?""I heard he was beaten by Chris, Lily's ex-boyfriend when she was still in school.""Are the two of them in trouble?""Hmm, I don't
Gladwin made everyone in the living room turn to look at him. The man with the shaved mustache smiled happily, as if his words were a good idea.Followed by Chris, he also smiled. "That's fine, that would be more efficient in my opinion," he said with his head down.For a few moments Ed Shane and Lilyana's eyes met each other. Both of them remained silent and neither of them made a decision to approve or reject."Hurry up and leave, before the traditional market is quiet." Gladwin again broke the silence.The three of them smiled awkwardly except for Gladwin who looked pleased. He smiled and stretched his hands to the sides, leading the other three people to quickly get out and leave."I--I'm going, Dad," Lilyana said a little awkwardly."Okay, take care."The white hair that was still thick on his head swayed slightly in the wind. His eyes narrowed as the smile still lingered on his face.He waved as Ed Shane started to drive the car. Not to forget, Ed Shane honked twice before the c
Everyone was silent staring at the woman who seemed to be looking right and left as if she was looking for something. But after a few seconds later, the woman again dropped her head on the table.The sound of a head hitting the side of one of the plates did not wake the woman up again. A few seconds later the sound of snoring was heard again."Huft."Chris, Ed Shane and Lilyana breathed a sigh of relief."What's the total?" Chris asked the man who then immediately took a small book."Are you sure you're going to pay for it?"Chris nodded his head."That much food?" asked Ed Shane again."We pay for it.""What?! No, I don't want to!" refused Ed Shane, he was not willing to pay for food that was not enjoyed by himself. He didn't even know who Chloe was either."I won't have enough money to pay for everything," Chris begged."But I do not want to!""Never mind, let's just work together. How if she already waking up and we can't get away from her?" Lilyana who had understood immediately m
