"I don't care, you just have to find Emily, bring my daughter-in-law back safe and sound. If not, never come to see me again."

"I already warned you before. A wife is a trust that you must take care of. I don't blame Emily if she eventually chooses to leave you. You should know the boundaries of a relationship between a man and a woman, especially when Chelsea openly declares she wants to return to you. You should be firm, Calvin. You feel guilty about Chelsea, you're concerned about the feelings of your ex-girlfriend, but you're neglecting the feelings of your wife. The woman who should be your priority."

The words of his parents continued to echo in Calvin's mind like a series of heavy blows. However, that wasn't what tormented him the most at the moment. The lack of news from Emily was what shattered his spirits. Calvin felt like he had lost his sense of direction and purpose in life, haunted by guilt.

    Dita couldn't ignore the change in Calvin's behavior as a doctor. Calvin continued to work as usual, but he became quieter. He only spoke with his assistant, Dita, when there was a work-related matter to discuss. Dita could feel that Calvin's attitude had shifted, and she knew the reason behind it. Twice in the past week, she had witnessed arguments between Calvin and Chelsea in the practice room. Chelsea had forcibly entered the room without Calvin's permission, leaving Dita feeling frustrated with Chelsea's actions. However, she knew her place and didn't want to meddle in their personal matters.Suddenly, Chelsea barged into the practice room without knocking. "Sorry, Dr. Chelsea is not allowed to enter this room anymore," Dita said firmly, her gaze sharp and directed at Chelsea."Where's Calvin? I want to talk to him," Chelsea replied, ignoring Dita's warning."Insolent woman," Dita muttered under her breath. If they weren't in a hospital, she would have dragged Chelsea out by now.

    Chelsea roughly wiped the tears from her cheeks, her self-esteem shattered, and she left Calvin's practice room. Her hopes of winning back Calvin's heart were completely dashed.With trembling hands, Dita kept her head down, refusing to make eye contact with Calvin. She should never have eavesdropped on that conversation. "I'm, I'm sorry, Doctor. I'm leaving now," Dita stammered and, without waiting for a response from Calvin, she grabbed her bag and hastily exited the room.Calvin let out a long sigh, trying to refill his lungs with much-needed oxygen. His breaths felt constricted, not due to Chelsea's selfishness, but because he still had no clue about Emily's whereabouts. It was as if he couldn't breathe, overwhelmed by the longing for the woman he once fondly nicknamed the "Busy Bee."His body still trembling, Dita left the room, and he knew he had caused her discomfort. He watched her retreat, but he was paralyzed by his own turmoil. His efforts to meet Emily the previous night h

    Calvin sat in his car for quite some time, which had been parked in front of the traditional joglo-style house currently inhabited by Emily. After asking the residents at the neighborhood watch post a few times, Calvin finally found the residence of Emily's grandparents. He felt torn between hesitation and a strong desire to see Emily. He wanted to get out of the car and meet Emily, but at the same time, he was worried about disturbing the rest of the people in the house.Calvin gathered his courage and got out of the car. The cold air instantly hit his body, which was only clad in a thin white t-shirt. Slowly, Calvin closed the car door quietly to avoid making a commotion. As he walked toward the front door, Calvin's hands rubbed together to fend off the cold air that seemed to freeze him. When he reached the front door, he hesitated again, staring at the large teakwood door in front of him with a racing heart. Calvin raised his hand and knocked on the door gently. After a few repeat

    Emily moved Calvin's hand away from her body, breaking free from his embrace. She got out of bed with her gaze fixed on the man who was currently asleep in her bed. "Wow, I must have gone overboard in this dream, no ethics," Emily muttered, rubbing her eyes with both hands. She gazed at Calvin again to confirm that she was not just dreaming. She raised her hand to slap her own cheek. Slap, "ouch," Emily groaned while holding her cheek. Still in disbelief, she switched to pinching her arm. "Ouch, that hurts!"To make sure once more that what she saw was real, Emily approached Calvin. Full of doubt, she scrutinized Calvin's peaceful face, which looked different. The usually clean-shaven face now had fine stubble along his jaw, and the lower part of his eyes appeared dark due to a lack of rest. Emily mustered the courage to touch Calvin's tousled wavy hair. "Emily, wake up, wow!" Emily scolded herself while closing her eyes. She slowly opened her eyes in a peeking manner. "Is this a drea

Feelings that will immerse both of us in the chalice of eternal love. Forever.***Not long after Emily left the room, Calvin followed suit. Besides performing the Fajr prayer, Calvin also needed to use the bathroom. With a cautious feeling, Calvin made his way to the back of the house. To be honest, Calvin felt very unfamiliar with this grand house. It was an old building with almost everything made of teak wood. Everything remained original, with hardly any modern touch, except for the white marble flooring.Calvin stopped at the kitchen door, where he saw Emily helping grandmother prepare coffee. He cleared his throat before asking, "I'm sorry, but where is the bathroom?""Go with your husband first!" the grandmother ordered, taking over Emily's tasks.Emily gave a frustrated look

    Calvin scanned the entire house, which appeared empty. Not finding anyone, he decided to go outside. He smiled when he saw Emily and the grandfather in the banana garden on the left side of the house from a distance. Calvin quickly joined them.Seeing Calvin's arrival, Emily shifted her position, turning her back on him. "I'll stay sulking, just stay sulking," Emily thought to herself, trying to neutralize her increasingly erratic heartbeat. "Is this what it's like to have a handsome husband? And why does my heart act so silly every time he smiles?" Emily's inner monologue continued until Calvin stood right beside her."Harvesting, grandma?" Calvin asked as he took over the bananas from the grandma."Yes, it's for your parents," the grandma replied."Wow, there are so many, grandma?" Calvin exclaimed as he looked at the harvested bananas. Calvin was surprised to see so many banana trees, producing not only Ambon and Kepok bananas but also Cavendish bananas. In Jakarta, these three typ

    "No, you can just go home. Leave me at my parents' house," Emily replied, causing Calvin to slam on the brakes suddenly. Toot toot... Horns honked in unison from the drivers behind them. Quickly, Calvin stepped on the gas to get the car moving again. Fortunately, the traffic was slow-moving, preventing any accidents from Calvin's sudden braking."Why are you like this? No, I disagree with us living separately," protested Calvin, but he only received a shoulder shrug from Emily."Alright, it's up to you," she replied curtly.Calvin glanced at Emily for a moment before returning his focus to the road ahead. He let out a heavy sigh before saying, "Alright, it's up to you then." Calvin reached out to ruffle Emily's hair, and she pursed her lips, pushing Calvin's hand away from her head."Oh, by the way, could you please unblock my contact?" Calvin asked as he remembered that he couldn't contact Emily while she was gone."Hehehe, how did you know I blocked your contact?" Emily chuckled whi

    A beautiful woman of English-Indonesian mixed heritage walked casually down the hospital corridor. Despite nearing half a century, her age didn't seem to affect her beauty. Her glossy, black, long hair was neatly tied. There was not a hint of sadness on her face. Unlike most mothers who would panic upon hearing that their daughter was sick, she remained calm and composed. Two words aptly described the expression on Valerie's face: calm and composed.Lexy, who had just stepped out of Alice's hospital room, was startled to see Valerie's arrival."Where's Alice?"
