The woman in the maroon red dress was still standing in front of the cafe until finally Lilyana approached where she was."Sorry, who are you?"Lilyana who felt disturbed immediately asked who the woman was and what her purpose was in coming to her. But not even saying a word, the woman had already left with a small jog."Madam, wait for me ... Madam, who exactly are you?" Lilyana kept chasing the woman while continuing to scream.Unfortunately, the woman did not stop her footsteps even for a second. She even rushed into a taxi that happened to pass by."Humph!" Lilyana took a deep breath.She couldn't find out who the woman was, she didn't even have a chance to see her clearly."Lily."The woman turned and found Chris who was on his motorcycle. There are also several packages hanging there."What are you doing out on the street like this?" Chris continued asking."I'll tell you inside," answered Lilyana briefly, who then returned to the room.Now the two sat facing each other with fo
Lilyana's back that was leaning against his was stared at until she was getting deeper into the house and was no longer visible in his eyes. He rubbed his entire face, then sat back down and took a sip from the cup that had been sitting on the small table on the terrace of his house."How can I hallucinate like this," said Gladwin, who then rubbed his face again.He felt something strange with his mind. His heart was beating very fast earlier, but a few seconds later his eyes darkened in a split second and then he saw Lilyana running towards him with a cheerful face."Is this the so-called disease of old age?" Gladwin muttered under his breath.A few minutes passed, when Gladwin was still enjoying the scenery in his front yard and greeting some people who passed by, suddenly he smelled a strong perfume.Gladwin looked towards the source of the fragrance and apparently there was already Lilyana walking towards him. His daughter then sat down on the chair that was right next to where Gl
Tears kept flowing from the corner of those hazel colored eyes. Lilyana took her other clothes from the wardrobe and then immediately headed to the bathroom.The woman turned on the shower without caring about the cold night that also pierced her smooth white skin. Her tears mixed with the water from the shower.She felt disgusted with her own body, even if she could she would want to move from this disgusting body to another body that the treacherous man had never touched before."I'm too weak," whispered Lilyana who was still crying under the pouring water.In the middle of a cold night, when most people choose to hide under their thick blankets, the fragrance of flowers can be smelled so piercing the nose.After finishing one bottle of shampoo and soap, even Lilyana still felt disgusted with her own body. With a slight tremor in her hands, she opened the bathroom door.From her eyes she saw a man who now she hated even more was sitting leaning on the bed. There was no guilt shown o
Lilyana shook her head, she also slightly pursed the corners of her lips. "There's nothing wrong with me, Chris."Without saying anything else, Lilyana walked away leaving Chris who was still washing his hands alone.The man turned towards Lilyana leaving him. He saw the back of the woman who was now walking away."I believe something has happened to you, Lily."Fifteen minutes passed and they had all finished breakfast. Chris waited in the doorway of the room while Lilyana seemed to be talking to her father."I'm leaving now, Dad. Take care of yourself, you don't have any meetings with your friends, do you?"Gladwin shook his head with a smile. "For now there is none.""Good, then I'll go first, Dad."Still with a smile on his face, he took his daughter to the front porch of the house."You go first alone, Chris." Lilyana said with a straight face.Of course the sentence from the woman suddenly made Chris frown. "Wh-what do you mean?""Babe, are you ready?"From inside the room, Ed S
Chris shook his head, he chose not to tell who the woman really was.It was twelve o'clock in the afternoon when the three of them were now sitting around a table. On the table now there are several foods served and several glasses with smoothies of various flavors."I will assign you to look after this cafe to help Chris. Make sure everything goes well and don't let you do what you've done again."Ed Shane smiled at that. "Of course, Babe. I'm so sorry for what I did yesterday.""That's good." Lilyana said briefly.While in his seat Chris just silent. He at least felt unhappy with Ed Shane's existence, especially since he was the one he would meet every day."I want to go to the toilet first," said Lilyana, who then got up from her seat.Ed Shane just nodded his head. The man now seems busy with the social media cafe he just created a few minutes ago.The man didn't even realize that Chris also got up from his seat and followed Lilyana's footsteps, who were now heading to the toilet.
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,
"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?"***
