Alicia was frozen in place, until the same question was asked again at the door of her aunt's ward. "Is there anyone here by the name of Miss Alicia Zareta? We have received information that Miss Zareta is one of the guardians of a patient in this hospital! But if there isn't, I'm sorry, we might be wrong! I apologize again for disturbing the peace of the patients and families in this room!" said the nurse. "Wait a minute, you must have been asked by the ladies who got their medicine mixed up, right? Well, what a coincidence then! Mum! Sis! Give me the medicine so I can return it!" Aisyah took the initiative before the nurse could say anything and took the medicine from her mother's hand and the plastic bag from her brother's. "Let me take you to see those ladies!" Aisyah was already about to pull the nurse's hand out and give a little code. But apparently the nurse didn't understand the code given by Aisyah. The nurse gave her a puzzled look and didn't move from her spot "Are you
Aisyah cried out in surprise while covering her mouth."Mum!" shouted Aisyah who felt sorry for her mother's treatment.The mother put one hand behind her back as a sign for her daughter not to interfere, while saying without turning to Aisyah."Don't interfere Aisyah! This is my business with your sister, Cia! Wait your turn! I'm disappointed in you Aisyah! You've dared to lie to me in order to protect your sister, who has clearly done wrong! I didn't raise you to be a liar, Aisyah!" her mother snapped.Aisyah could only bow her head, while crying. "I'm sorry Mum...but...sister....?" Sarah's mother spread one finger, "I told you not to interfere! Don't make me more upset, Aisyah!" Finally, Aisyah chose to remain silent as she gazed pityingly at her sister."Aunty, it's not Aisyah's fault! It's my fault, Aunty! Please don't be angry at Aisyah! She only wanted to help me! Please...please..." Alicia walked slowly towards her aunt while cupping her fingers on her chest, begging her aun
Alicia stared through the glass as her aunt was rushed back to the ICU because of a sudden shortness of breath and another unconscious drop. And is currently being treated by the doctors. The doctors had been working on her condition for over an hour. Alicia's tears did not stop crying, her body slumped to the floor and sat on the hospital floor. Alicia tried to cover her face while continuing to cry with her shoulders shaking violently. "I'm sorry, Auntie....I'm sorry...I made you disappointed and sick! All because of my stupidity! I was stupid! I was stupid!" Alycia continued to wear and beat herself. Alicia didn't expect her aunt to be so shaken when she heard she was pregnant and abandoned by Adrian, the man she thought loved her. Meanwhile, Aisyah, who was sitting and looking after her sister who had fallen asleep because she had waited too long to hear her aunt's news from the medics, could only join in silently crying and whispering softly. "Sister...Cia..." softly whispered
Alsyah walked to the door, and opened it to find no one there. Including her sister Alicia, her brother Anton was still asleep in a long chair in front of the ICU room. Aisyah's face instantly turned red. Aisyah returned to her mother with a worried look on her face. "Why Aisyah? Who rudely closed the door?" she asked. Aisyah was a little hesitant to say. "Hmm..Mum, it looks like Sister Cia was listening to our conversation! And...and she..." Aisyah stammered a bit. Aunt Sarah's already pale face paled even more. "What's wrong with her? Tell me!" exclaimed Aunt Sarah, Aisyah's mother. Aisyah looked at her mother with a look of sadness, "It's nothing Mum! It's just...it looks like she's gone!" Aunt Sarah seemed to start breathing hard again, Aisyah began to panic. "But, mum, there's no need to worry! It looks like she just wanted to get some fresh air and a little snack! Well...that's all!" Aisyah just understood, her mother's hatred was only on the surface, above all she stil
Alicia opened her eyes slowly to see her surroundings, a white room. She lifted her head but her head hurt. Alicia reflexively tried to raise her hand, but her hand seemed heavy. Someone was holding her hand very firmly. Alicia tried to glance with her eyes. 'Aunty? What the hell is going on with me? Why am I in this room? Is this a hospital? Or...heaven?' Alicia tried to caress her aunt's cheek with her free hand, but someone made a sound that made her stop what she was doing. "You're in the hospital, Cia! And if I may suggest it, you'd better call it off! Because of your aunt's pity! You've been unconscious for two days now, and she forced herself to stay that long to see you, to be by your side. Even after a few hours she found out that you had an accident and were admitted to this hospital, with a bit of coercion from the doctors she asked to stay in your room even if it was only in a wheelchair! Because t actually her condition had not yet fully recovered! She cried all day
Flashback 1-2 hours earlierA handsome and foreign-looking man came out of the police station with a furious and annoyed face."How annoying! What's the point of them trying to arrest me! I'm obviously innocent! Why didn't they check the CCTV during the incident and arrest me instead! If it wasn't for you, who I called in with our lawyer to get me out on bail and into city custody, I would have been in jail all night! Shit!!! Why do I always meet that girl in such unpleasant conditions! What was she doing there running like a maniac and crashing herself into our car! Did she want to kill herself for the second time?" he said with an exasperated look on his face."Antonio, did you check what I asked? Is she okay, in that hospital? Has she regained consciousness? Does she know what happened? Because the last time I carried her to the hospital was just before an annoying man shouted and accused me of running her over! What was that guy's name? What's his relationship with that girl? Is h
Antonio took a deep breath trying to weigh up whether what he was about to say was true or not. Should he keep it to himself?"Tell me what you mean, don't try to hide something or cover something up. What are you thinking?" Aaron asked, very curious."Ehem!" Antonio slightly cleared his throat which was starting to feel dry from being a little scared."I mean..what if Alicia is just fooling the Master? And she's a gold digger? She took the cheque you gave her, didn't she? Or, what if she...already has a husband and the man who claimed to be her husband yesterday is really her husband?" said Antonio again."Hahahah!" Aaron suddenly laughed very loudly and non-stop. This of course made Antonio frown worriedly, ' Is Mr Aaron going crazy because of a girl? How sad if that's really the case!'"Why, you think I'm crazy?" Aaron accused as if reading Antonio's train of thought.To Antonio's surprise, his face began to turn pale! Antonio was starting to get scared.Aaron laughed even harder a
A few months laterAlicia stood staring at the setting sun at the end of a partly glass fence at the foot of the Taman Langit hill in Pangalengan, Bandung, not far from her village. The hill is about 1,600m above sea level and with a 360-degree view, it looks as if it is close to the sky and the sun, which is why sometimes Taman Langit is also called Kaki Langit. To get to the top, there is a long wooden staircase and it takes about 10-15 minutes to walk to the end of the hill and a special place is provided to be able to capture the sunrise or sunset.At the bottom and on the side close to the 'sunset point' people call it, there are tents that are provided and can be rented which are lined up very neatly, besides that there are also several houses or villas on the side that can also be rented. Most people come here by renting a tent. The entrance fee is quite cheap at around 15,000 rupiah or $1 dollar, as is the rental of a motorbike so as not to walk too far for the same price.Ali
Alicia who realised someone was about to enter Aaron's ward, like an alarm in her head, with full force pushed Adrian away from her.The shocked Adrian, who had not expected Alicia's action, automatically fell off the large sofa they had been sitting on and fell a few steps on the cold hospital floor.Adrian was angry and widened his eyes, and suddenly shouted angrily."WHAT? What are you doing?" Adrian shouted.Before Alicia could answer, someone suddenly appeared wearing white clothes."Sorry. Excuse me, Mr Anderson's family?" asked a nurse gently.Both Adrian and Alicia turned their heads and replied in unison, "I am!"The nurse frowned in confusion at the two. Especially towards Adrian who was still on the floor."Excuse me, what are you doing down there?" she asked with a teasing smile, especially when she saw Adrian's face which was quite handsome and always the centre of attention of women wherever he was.Adrian, who realised he was looking at his body, hurriedly got up and ti
Alicia dropped an ice cube on her swollen leg and automatically screamed in pain.Adrian who saw it immediately threw himself at Alicia with a panicked look on his face."Hey! Why are you always so reckless! Look..your leg seems to be getting swollen! Be careful! Do you want to be treated here so that you can be close to my father? Use your brain!" Adrian exclaimed while looking at the condition of Alicia's leg and compressing it, and gently stroking Alicia's leg, this made Alicia's heart beat faster and faster.Alicia closed her eyes and hissed softly as Adrian began to gently massage her legs. Alicia immediately laid down her tired body slowly and unconsciously enjoying the sensation of Adrian's massage."Shush...!" a hissing sound came from Alicia's beautiful lips, and Alicia swallowed her saliva as she began to feel her throat suddenly dry.Adrian who raised his head saw Alicia who was enjoying the massage and closed her eyes while lying down. Adrian gave a slight smile, he felt h
Adrian held his nose which was hurting. Alicia lifted her face just as Adrian looked down so that Alicia's head hit Adrian's high nose quite hard.The startled Alicia felt bad, and said, "Sorry, Adrian. I'm sorry I didn't mean to! I didn't know you...why are you looking down anyway?" Adrian looked at Alicia who asked such a strange question, ' It wouldn't be possible if I said I looked down because I was mesmerized by her scent and wanted to kiss her, would it? What a shame, Adrian! Because Alicia doesn't seem to want that!'"Of course to see your condition! What else do you think, Aly? Look, you know I'm a lot taller than you! So there's no way I'm looking up, is there? Of course I'm looking down! That's weird!" said Adrian, holding back his embarrassment by diverting their conversation."Oh!" Alicia only replied briefly, because she was actually embarrassed herself, having touched Adrian's body a little intimately."Ehem! Now can you let me go, Adrian? I think I can still walk fine
Alicia frowned in confusion, 'What does Adrian want? Why is he stopping me? Does he not want me to get close to him? Do I disgust him?'Alicia continued to think in her heart, with a little disappointment and hurt she exhaled her breath and said, "Sorry! I didn't mean to approach you or anything I just... Hey! Where are you going?"Adrian didn't care what Alicia said, Adrian suddenly walked out of the room without saying anything."Shit! How rude of him! I was talking to him and he just left!" Alicia said in a slightly angry tone.Alicia unintentionally looked at Aaron who was still lying on the bed without waking up at all.Slowly despite having to endure the pain, Alicia approached Aaron and pulled a chair that was located not far from the bed where Aaron was lying. Alicia pulled the chair out and began to sit in it, right next to Aaron."When are you going to wake up, Aaron? I missed you... it turns out that you're the only one who always cares about me and always cares about me! I
Alicia tried to hold Adrian's hand but Adrian accidentally injured her. Alicia was knocked down on the floor of Adrian's treatment room in a sitting position, Adrian's elbow hit Alicia's cheek and made Alicia's right cheek red. Alicia's tears came involuntarily because of the pain she was suffering. "Akhhhh... It hurts!!!" Alicia said unconsciously. Adrian looked back and backed away from Doctor Smith. Making Doctor Smith breathe a sigh of relief, he had just escaped an injury that might have been severe if Adrian had continued his action. Adrian turned back and tried to help Alicia. "What are you doing, you idiot! Why are you holding and pulling my hand? Sorry! Are you hurt? Oh my God! Your cheek is red and a little swollen!" Adrian was about to touch Alicia's cheek. Alicia quickly brushed him off, knowing that Adrian's actions would probably make her position even more difficult as there was still Doctor Smith watching them. Alicia looked down with anxious eyes glancing at Doct
Alycia tried to turn her head in the direction of the sound, while then releasing her grip on Aaron's hand who was still unconscious. Alycia stood up and turned around and made room for a doctor who was around the same age as Aaron to approach her patient and best friend.Dr Smith came stumbling in, while rushing towards Aaron, and unintentionally violently pushed Alycia aside."Get out of the way! Let me examine him!" Dr Smith exclaimed harshly."Akhh" Alicia staggered backwards and was caught by Adrian."Are you okay?" Adrian asked softly with concern.Alycia just shook her head, "I'm fine! Thank you!" Once strong enough to stand, Adrian was about to approach Dr Smith who was busy examining his father Aaron while his back was turned to them. The look on Adrian's face held anger, but Adrian's steps and words were stopped by Alycia pulling his elbow while shaking his head, "Please don't make a scene here, this is a hospital, pity your sick father!"Adrian turned to Alycia as he said
BUGH!"DAD!!!" Adrian shouted and his scream made Alycia who had just touched the exit door of the room turn around in surprise. "Aaron!!! Oh, no!!! Oh my God...!!!" Alycia then supported Aaron's head and unbuttoned Aaron's shirt from above. And patted Aaron's cheek lightly."Help!!! Help!!!" Alycia shouted frantically.While Adrian stood in his place silent, he was shocked, the father he knew was so healthy that he never even saw the last time his father was sick, this was enough to shock him!"Hey! Adrian! Why are you silent? Hurry up and get help! I'm worried, he's having heart problems again! Please call an ambulance and call Dr Smith! Have him wait at the hospital! We have to get him there quickly!" Alycia said with a little tension."What do you mean, heart? What's wrong with his heart? What's wrong with Dad? Does Doctor Smith know about this? Why didn't anyone tell me? Are you lying to gain my sympathy?" Adrian looked confused but scared at the same time.Alycia exhaled her b
"What?"Aaron's eyes bulged while Alycia stared with mixed feelings. Hate and anger. "Who is he to say that I don't deserve Aaron?" Alycia's mind screamed."What do you mean, Adrian? Like Daddy said before... she's Alycia Zareta, she's your future stepmother, which means she's your Daddy's future wife!" Aaron said with a bit of annoyance and anger.Adrian glared at his father and then pointed at Alycia with his finger. "What? So she's going to be my future stepmother, Dad? Really? She's even more qualified to be my sister! Or...maybe my mistress! She must just want to make a fortune off you, Dad! Come on, snap out of it! She's nothing more than a deadbeat chick! So, how much do you want, huh? To leave my dad? 5 billion? 10 billion? How much? Name your price!" Adrian glared sardonically at the young woman who was currently sitting next to her father, right across from him. "BRAK!!!" "Adrian! Shut up! Watch what you say! How presumptuous of you! Alycia's not like that!" said the adu
"Look Adrian... you really... really..." Alicia pointed her index finger at Adrian with great emotion."What's wrong with me, what did I say?" Adrian stared with a mocking look on his face.Alycia took a deep breath, closed her eyes for a moment then looked back at Adrian with the same mocking look she had given Adrian. "Your mind is petty! Your heart is rotten! That's why you don't know anything! Just like before! All you know is that narrow mind of yours! I'm sorry but I'm not you who is petty and likes to play with people's feelings just for a game! A bet! Then leave her by betraying her! And you think you're that good in bed? Huh? I don't even remember it! Because we did it while I was unconscious! You must remember that, right? Or you could say you raped me!" Adrian's face reddened with anger, Adrian wanted to answer and reply to Alycia's words but then his mouth felt stiff, because there was one thing he realized, namely there was a part where what Alycia said was the truth.
