"Alea, don't joke!" Eros looked for lies in Alea's eyes but his wife looked at him seriously. "Am I now in a joking situation?" Alea was really serious with her words. Eros tightened his grip on Alea's shoulders, and shook his head hard. "No, Alea! We love each other right? Our marriage isn't just a deal anymore." But his wife let go of Eros' hand on his shoulder and stepped back.She also lowered herhead, reluctant to look at Eros again. Her chest felt tight, but she did everything for the good of Eros. "I'll take care of the divorce papers, you don't have to worry." After saying that Alea walked away leaving Eros who still did not accept Alea's unilateral decision. He really didn't understand his wife, did Eros do something wrong? or Alea doesn't really love him? Without bringing anything Alea walked alone on the street, it was already 9 pm and since earlier she didn't know where to go. What's more, she didn't have anything else, everything belonged to Eros, that's why Alea didn
Alea woke up at 9 am, quite noon because her body was exhausted. Yesterday's incident replayed in her mind, and it had to make her realize that he really lost everyone who was important in her life. “Alea?” Calls and knocks on the door made her daydream suddenly broken, Alea immediately got off her bed and walked towards the door. “Hey, sorry. I'm tired, so I woke up a bit late,” said Alea when she opened the door and found Dylan with an apron wrapped around her body. Funny, Alea chuckled when she saw it. “Dylan, you really look good in that.” Alea was still laughing, Dylan scratched his hair and smiled innocently. “Is it true?” he asked, Alea's laughter broke out again. Dylan really is innocent. “Come on down, I've made breakfast!” asked Dylan, Alea nodded her head and walked hand in hand with the man. They arrived at the dining table and there were served two bowls of porridge with visualizations typical of porridge in restaurants or street vendors, Dylan seems to be a
It's been almost 2 weeks, Alea just stayed at Dylan's house without doing anything. Thankfully, Dylan didn't feel bothered when Alea was at his house, and he was even happy. But lately, she's been feeling something strange about her body, I don't know what, but Alea always feels weak and powerless. Especially when doing activities or when just waking up. This morning, she woke up because of a very intense feeling of nausea. Her stomach felt uneasy, and quickly Alea got off the bed and ran to the bathroom. She vomited all of her stomach contents, and her head felt very dizzy. Alea looks sick. Nausea and vomiting like this is not the first time she has felt it, maybe she has been feeling it for about a week now. Someone knocked on her bedroom door., Alea who was washing her face, immediately stepped out of the bathroom and opened her bedroom door. “Are you okay, Lea? You've been throwing up a lot lately,” Dylan asked, a concerned look on her face. Dylan also realized that recently t
These 2 weeks Eros is very messy, his life is very messy. After Alea decided to divorce him and leave Eros's apartment, it felt like her world had come to an end. That woman was really just a foreign woman who met him accidentally, whether it was coincidence or fate, for sure, Eros was grateful to have met a woman as great as Alea. Since waking up this morning, Eros has been lying in bed all the time, he can't focus on work, therefore for the past 2 weeks all he can do is stay at home and drink a few bottles of liquor so that his thoughts about Alea can be temporarily dispelled. Drink bottles, dirty clothes, and several food packages were lying carelessly on the floor of Eros' room. Even Eros' mustache and beard started to grow thin, showing that Eros didn't take care of himself at all. The ringing on his cellphone made Eros immediately get up from his sleep and look for his cellphone, which was somewhere else., luckily after searching, Eros found it! Eros really hoped that Alea
Eros found him, he found the whereabouts of an old man who had made his wife suffer, and his two in-laws murdered miserably. The old man named Adam is the boss of a criminal organization in this country, human trafficking and drug dealers, which is a very dark and terrible thing. Eros really had to teach that old fart a lesson, that man had underestimated Eros too much. Even, no matter how hard that old fart man tries to do criminal activities to get a lot of money, their wealth cannot be compared to Eros' wealth. After 3 hours of driving his car to the location where someone sent him the address, Eros arrived in front of a rather old building. The distance from the city center is quite far because the building is in a remote area. Eros smiled crookedly at the sight, he admitted that Adam was very clever in choosing a place so that the police or other security personnel would not suspect or inspect the place because that was a very successful business. It wasn't until there tha
Eros doesn’t know since when he’s lost his consciousness, now he woke up and was asleep in a hospital bed. With a stomach that has been bandaged, also a forehead, and several cuts and bruises on the face that are starting to dry. “Eros?” A call, made Eros blink his eyes and turn to a man who was familiar to him. His assistant Kevin was already sitting beside him, with a policeman. “Kevin?” called Eros as he was about to get up from his sleep, but again his stomach felt sore. “Just lie down, sir.” Eros reluctantly nodded his head. “Thank you Mr. Eros for your cooperation, I hope you will recover soon,” said the policeman while holding out his hand. Eros returned his hand and shook his hand with a little limp. “But Alea—" Eros again forced himself to get up, waiting for the news that Kevin and the police would deliver. But the two looked at each other, then shook his head slowly. "We didn't find Alea there." It felt like Eros' chest had been hit by something really hard, he didn't
Alea woke up, when a scream was heard right beside her. He immediately turned her head and found Dylan lying on her back beside her and stared at Alea in a daze, his whole body covered in blood and wounds. “Alea?” he called softly, Alea immediately got up from her sleep, sat beside Dylan and held the man's hand tightly. Even though she used to hate Dylan, he was the man who was always there when Alea was in a difficult situation. “Dylan!” Alea didn't realize she was sobbing, her hand stretched out and tried to wipe the blood off Dylan's face. But Dylan instead smiled broadly, and also tightened Alea's hand. "Dylan." Alea cried even more when Dylan coughed and blood came out of his cough, Alea became more hysterical and hugged Dylan's body. "UHUK UHUK— Alea, listen. Run now and get as far away as you can." Dylan took out the wallet that was in his jacket and gave it to Alea. "Use this money, and leave now." Alea shook her head vigorously, refusing Dylan's request. "No Dyl
Alea woke up with puffy eyes and her body feeling crushed, she felt nausea again quickly. Alea got out of bed and immediately jogged towards the bathroom.Her morning sickness got worse because she didn't eat all day, all she released from her stomach was only liquid that made her stomach ache. Alea sighed roughly, it appears that today she has to eat something to keep the baby healthy. Even though she didn't have an appetite, Alea ate the bread she had just baked while sitting, daydreaming. The atmosphere is still the same, silent. Making Alea feel that she is missing Dylan even more, even though this house belongs to that man but Alea, who incidentally is a stranger, still lives here as she pleases. After finishing breakfast, Alea packed some of her things in a suitcase belonging to Dylan. As per Dylan's request, she will leave now. Going very far away, where no one recognized her.She reached into her cellphone and made a flight booking to the place where she and her child w
"Mom's home!" Alea shouted as she stepped into her apartment, followed by Archi who had the goal of meeting Alarik and having dinner together. "Alea, we want to eat—Archi is there too," Eros said a little confused by Archi's arrival. Archi waved his hand greeting Eros awkwardly. "Aci!" Alarik came out of his room and ran to Archi, the boy stretched out his arms asking to be picked up. "Aci, do you know?" asked Alaric, the boy looked at Archi seriously. Exasperated, Archi also looked at Alaric seriously, and waited for Alaric to continue what he said. "What?" "Al has a father now." Alaric pointed at Eros who was standing not far from them, with a forced smile, Archi nodded his head in understanding. "Ah yes, what do you want for dinner?" asked Alea, trying to change the subject. "Wanna make chicken soup? Alaric has to eat nutritious food right," Eros said, he felt the atmosphere was even more awkward, so he tried to divert it as much as possible with Alea. "But Al wants
They arrived at Alea and Alaric's apartment room, Eros put the boy to sleep in his room and returned to Alea who was still busy unpacking her bag. "I will return to my hotel now," said Eros, but Alea quickly held his hand so that Eros would not leave. "Are you sure you want to sleep in a hotel? Won't you just stay here?" Alea asked a little nervously, she was afraid that Eros would think he was ridiculous for asking her to stay over. "Can I stay here?" Eros looked at Alea seriously, he was afraid to make Alea and Alaric uncomfortable with his presence in their apartment. Alea smiled while nodding her head slowly, "Of course, Eros. You're Alaric's father," she answered. Alaric's father? Eros furrowed his brow in confusion, so he was only considered as 'Alaric's father' and not Alea's husband anymore? Does Alea no longer think of Eros as her husband, because they've been separated for quite a while? But still! Eros had not signed the divorce papers given by Alea at that time,
"Daddy!" screamed Alarik when Eros had just stepped into his inpatient room, Alea turned around briefly and greeted him with a smile, the woman seemed to be busy buttoning the shirt Alarik was wearing. Hearing Alaric's call to him, of course Eros felt happy. He did not expect that this simple call could color his life and make him very happy. Alaric didn't seem to mind calling him that for a relatively short time, perhaps because he was still so young, and was very happy when he realized that he too had a father, like his other friends. "How is it? Al is ready to go home?" asked Eros while crouching in front of Alaric and taking over Alea's work. Alea was a little surprised, because Eros suddenly pulled her hand gently, and motioned to Alea with a smile so that Eros would do it. "Let me do it," he said briefly, Eros' eyes were now shifted to Alaric. "What are you going to do? After you get home." Hearing Eros' question, Alaric thought for a moment, then before long his smile
I don't know since when, Eros has been standing in front of Alarik's inpatient room. He did not have the courage to meet Alaric, his son. Admitting it, for some reason Eros now felt very happy. Meeting Alea again and apparently having a son who is truly his flesh and blood, made Eros not believe it, he thought everything that happened yesterday was just a dream. But when he peeked into the glass at the door of the inpatient room, Eros saw Alea, his wife who he missed so much and also a boy with a face exactly like himself. Bracing himself, Eros pushed open the door and reflexively attracted the attention of Mother and Child who had been engrossed in chattering, Alea looked at Eros' arrival and smiled. "Uncle!" called Alarik with sparkling eyes when Eros came into his room. Eros breathed a sigh of relief because the boy's health was getting better. He also looked at Alaric, smiled and waved his hand, greeting Alarik. "Why is your smile not look scary anymore?" he asked innoc
Since last night, Laura had been packing her things with non-stop crying. Indeed, he had given up on the departure of Eros, who was trying to restore his relationship with his wife, who was still alive. But still, the incident at the hospital was like a nightmare for her. She really didn't expect that this kind of painful thing would happen to her, even though she had accompanied Eros for the past 3 years. It wasn't Eros who was wrong and evil here, Laura also felt guilty for having forced her to accompany that man— who clearly never considered Laura's presence, if Laura hadn't asked her yesterday, Eros would not have proposed to her until now. Laura sat on the floor of her hotel room, she was still sobbing. If only— she didn't take Eros on vacation to LA, maybe now that man would still be her. Her mind is now quite selfish, but Laura's heart is not well now, and being selfish is a natural thing for people who are sad. After all, who wants to be sad and let their man chase anot
Laura and Archi were immediately confused, because Alea and Eros apparently knew each other. In fact, they look more than familiar. Eros looked at Alea with teary eyes, which Laura had never seen so emotional. The stiff and cold Eros that I had seen for 3 years suddenly changed in an instant. "Alea," he called softly, Archi looked at Alea, waiting for the reaction of the woman standing beside him. Same with Eros, Alea also looked at him with teary eyes. They looked like two people who had to be separated after a long time and only just met again— wait, Archi just realized. Alea came here because she had to leave her husband, and Eros once said that he had been married. Archi took a step back, he was not ready for this situation. "Alea," Eros called again, ignoring Laura who incidentally was his fiancee, Eros ran towards Alea and hugged his wife tightly. He was crying sobbing as if he didn't expect that Alea was still alive, he thought Alea was gone. Of course Alea returned
After 2 days, Alarik's fever didn't go away, Alea had also taken turns looking after Alarik with Archi when he wasn't busy. But today's Alaric's fever, Alea feels worse than the previous 2 days. It was already 5 pm, and Alea was confused about what to do to make Alarik recover. Because Alea was already panicking and worried, she immediately carried Alarik out of his apartment room and stopped a taxi in front of the apartment building. She had to go to the hospital. Without telling Archi for fear that the man would be anxious and unable to focus on work, she took a taxi to the nearest hospital and it took them less than 10 minutes. "Help me!" Alea shouted while waving her hands, 2 nurses came over to Alea and checked on Alaric's condition. "I’ll check your son condition," said one of the nurses and another nurse brought the patient's bed, then helped Alea to lay Alarik's body there. Of course Alea couldn't hold back her tears, she sobbed when she saw Alaric's limp body lying on
Alea suddenly woke up from her sleep because of the sound of Alarik's crying from the room next to her, her eyes which were still heavy were now looking at the clock on the wall of her room which was still showing 4 in the morning. The sound of Alaric's crying grew louder, Alea quickly got off her bed and stepped into Alaric's room. The little boy was sleeping curled up—still asleep, but crying. Alea sighed, she thought something had happened to Alaric, but it turned out that her son was just having a bad dream.Alea pulled Alarik's blanket and covered her son tiny body. His crying had subsided when Alea came over earlier, because she was worried, Alea lay down next to Alaric and hugged him tightly. Until she realized, if her son's body feels very wa. Panicked, Alea immediately got up from her sleep and checked Alarik's temperature by holding his forehead. Sure enough, it was warm, it looked like Alaric had a fever. Alea again stepped out of Alaric's room and prepared a cold t
With a happy feeling, Laura forgot about her sadness last night and came out of her apartment room wearing casual clothes, jeans and a white t-shirt and a crop-top jean jacket as her outerwear.Her face looked very happy, with enthusiasm she knocked on the door of Eros's hotel room to take him somewhere. "Just a moment, I'll be out." Eros shouted from inside his room, then a few moments later he appeared from behind the door. "Laura, are you going somewhere?" he asked. Laura shook her head vigorously with a smile that grew wider, making Eros confused about the girl's intentions. "Then where are you going?" "I want to go somewhere, but it's not just me— you have to go with me." Laura pushed Eros' body so that he immediately returned to his hotel room and changed his clothes. "But Lau-" "We have to go on a date." Laura didn't give Eros time to refuse her invitation, she closed the door to Eros' room and didn't let him out until he changed his clothes. 5 minutes later, Eros c
