I must apologise profusely to my faithful readers, I'm sorry for the two holidays and this month so many unexpected events and affairs related to my daughter who is about to enter junior high school, so I'm running around taking care of my daughter's needs and her school. It's been a bit of a hassle. But thankfully it's over and I can refocus on continuing the story. Please be patient, okay? Thank you in advance. Keep voting guys...and commenting. Love you all
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
"What do you mean, Kang Ilham? I don't understand? Isn't it obvious? That I'm not worthy of you!" said Alicia, who now turned around."What I mean is... That's what you think! But you haven't heard my decision, have you? Do I agree with your unilateral decision?" said Ilham gently."I don't understand..." Alicia shook her head. Alicia looked even more confused now.Ilham stepped slowly closer to Alicia, the two of them now facing each other. Ilham looked at Alicia with a smile."So what if you're pregnant? Is it because of a bastard who arguably took advantage of your innocence, then you consider yourself not a good woman, is that it Cia?" Ilham said, looking at Alicia with his calm gaze.Alicia gaped at Ilham's words."Don't be like that, you look even prettier!" Ilham said, tugging on the corner of his lips."Huh? What are you saying, Kang Ilham?" Alicia exclaimed as if she hadn't heard Ilham's words."Hahaha...don't tell me you're going deaf, Cia? Well I might start rethinking my p
Alicia looked up at her decorated room, which had been decorated like a bridal suite. Alicia stood in front of the mirror in her room looking at her make-up. Today was a happy day for her, after Ilham's quick proposal it didn't take long for Alicia to accept Ilham's proposal. Maybe about 2-3 days, not even a week after Ilham's proposal at the Pengalengan Sky Park at that time. After two weeks, to be precise, today their wedding party was held quite lively, considering that Ilham is the only son of the village head in Alicia's hometown. Alicia was still standing there in disbelief, everything had happened so fast. Her life had taken a 360-degree turn. Previously she was a student who received a scholarship, and before that she was also the lover of Adrian Evans Anderson, but in an instant Adrian insulted her with a very deep wound. Adrian humiliated her and it turned out that he had never considered her more than a betting girl. Adrian left her, her new boyfriend slandered her, thr
Alicia walked to the front of the house wearing her usual clothes, her make-up still on her face but not her clothes. Alicia was not wearing her bridal kebaya. Alicia walked calmly while carrying a girl wearing a bridal kebaya with her face covered by a large veil-like shawl that covered her face from the top of her head. All eyes were on Alicia but she casually carried the girl next to her to the front of the stage reserved for brides and placed her next to Ilham. "Please begin the ceremony, sir! The bride is ready!" Alicia said to the man who would marry them. The aunt who saw it did not understand and her face turned red with anger, "Cia! What the hell is this? Who is she? Why did you let her marry Ilham? You should have married Ilham!" "Yeah, right Cia! Are you trying to humiliate me and my family? Who is she? Who are you? I don't know you!" This time it was Ilham who sounded very angry. Ilham had been waiting for Alicia's arrival and after waiting for a while, Alicia ar
All eyes were on the angry-faced man who pounded on the table in front of him. "Enough, my child Cia! I've had enough!" said a respected man in the village, none other than the village head, Bapak Rahmat. Meanwhile, the wife smiled triumphantly because it seemed like her husband was on her side. Similarly, Ilham's face looked relieved, having avoided a marriage he didn't want. Ilham never loved Della at all! It was all a mistake! Ilham only loved Alicia! There was no one else. From then until now. Meanwhile, what he did was just a mistake that he never wanted. "Good, if you understand my husband! Let's go home now! Come on Ilham, there's no point in us lingering here! It takes my breath away!" said Ibu Rahmat. "Come on, Mum! Listen Cia! You'll regret not marrying me! I've given you a chance, I even want to accept you for who you are! There is no one like me! You will regret it!" said Ilham with fiery eyes holding back his anger. "Hahaha...I'd regret it more if I wanted to marry yo
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.
Crack! "Excuse me sir, I'm here to deliver the order...sir...? What's going on?" a waiter walked into the VIP room carrying a trolley of food they had ordered while staring in confusion. Adrian shrugged his shoulders as he looked over to find Alycia already down from the table and now as if nothing had happened sitting in her chair. Adrian tugged the edges of the smile on his lips slightly and said softly, "You're so good at acting Aly!" Alycia ignored Adrian's words as if she didn't hear anything, but in reality Alycia heard everything he said. Word by word very clearly. Adrian walked and whispered to the waiter and put some money into the waiter's shirt pocket. "Do you understand?" asked Adrian. "Understood, sir. All right, I'll do it!" the waiter immediately nodded his head and left the room. Adrian was still staring at Alycia who seemed to be calmly sitting in her chair. "Don't stare at me! Stop your game! Sit quietly and we can finish this dinner in a calm and peaceful a
