My Obsessive Ex 21. The Trace
No one can really keep a lie in secret. *** “Shit! I lost them again!” Ansel cursed in annoyance. He slammed his back against the parapet of his swivel chair. Both his hands joined together into fists full of furiousness. If only there was no fatal accidence before his eyes, he must have caught up with Qeiza. Luckily the brakes of his car were very gripping so there were no consecutive accidents. “Tsk, tsk, tsk! You’ve gone from the office in the early morning, then coming home like a general losing the war,” Xander scorned, slumping his butt on the couch. From his desk, he could see clearly when Ansel passed by in front of his room with a red face. That’s why he hastily tailed Ansel. “What’s going on?” he asked. “Your prey ran away again?” Ansel stared sharply at Xander. His dark eyes got darker. A white gleam in his pupils was like the radiance of a samurai that was ready to chop up Xander’s body. “Did you think it’s funny?” “Gosh! I just asked,” said Xander. “You’re gettin
My Obsessive Ex 22. Illegible Feeling
Keeping silent is one of the best ways to control your emotion. *** Not knowing how long the silence muffled Ansel and Alina in the bandage of feeling restless and gurgling of blood. Ansel racked his brain to string a meaningful explanation which could reduce the heat of his mother’s heart. Meanwhile, Alina struggle to control herself so that half-hearted vows weren’t spoken out, shaking the door of heaven with the curse of the bitter tongue. A mother’s words were the most effective prayer for her child. “Mom, there are so many works I have to finished today,” Ansel persuaded, trying to change the topic of their talks and Alina’s mind as well. “What if you go home first and take a rest. You must be exhausted, right?” “You purposely want to avoid the talk?” Ansel shook his head while putting on a serious facial expression. “No, I don’t. You yourself can see the stack of documents on my desk,” he argued. “I promise I will make time to discuss this matter later.” Alina plunged into
My Obsessive Ex 23. Awkward Situation
Don’t blame the time if togetherness leads you to a new feeling. *** “You put something into the drink?” “No, I didn’t” Dae Hyun’s eyebrows got more linked. The drink hadn’t expired yet. But, why did Qeiza look so pale when he drank it? “A–actually … I’ve tasted it.” Qeiza’s tone sounded doubtful and embarrassed. The corners of her eyes stole a glance at Dae Hyun. Examining how her adopted brother would react after knowing the truth. Would he feel disgusted then running to the toilet to empty his stomach? “Really?” Dae Hyun’s eyes widened a little and gleamed oddly. “Sorry, Oppa. Ums, I planned to tell you, but … you already drank it.” “Just forget it! It happened.” “Hah!” Qeiza was amazed. She didn’t think Dae Hyun would react that easy. She thought Dae Hyun would be furious or threw the bottle at her face. “No! Wait!” Qeiza intended to rob the bottle from Dae Hyun’s hand when she saw that Dae Hyun would down his drink again. Dae Hyun smiled. “You don’t need to be panic
My Obsessive Ex 24. Find Qeiza Quickly!
A decision without thoughtfulness will only bring you a regret. *** “Are you sure you wanna stay here, Mom?” Ansel didn’t believe that Alina would decide to live with him. “This is my home too. Is there something wrong with my decision?” “Thus, how about the company have you managed all this time?” “I’m old and tired. I’ve left my position to someone who’s pretty competent and trustworthy.” Alina changed the TV channel she was watching. Several times she moved from one number to others just to find an interesting program. Ansel threw away his glance at Xander. Xander just shrugged. It’s better for him not to comment than to create the tense that would make the situation worse. Xander could read the hidden plan behind Alina’s reason to remain by Ansel’s side. She certainly wanted to watch Ansel’s movement. “That’s up to you, Mom!” Ansel gave up. It was pointless to insist on forbidding Alina to stay or desperate to send her away. She wouldn’t change her mind easily. “So, when
My Obsessive Ex 25. Morning Surprise
Every day, the nature always waits for you with full of surprises as long as you remain optimistic about life. *** Qeiza woke up with the black rings circle her eyes, just as dark as panda’s eyes. Her whole body felt sore and she wasn’t excited. She didn’t know what time she eventually succumbed to sleepiness. Thinking that the freshness of water could restore the vitality of her body, Qeiza wouldn’t like to waste the time by remaining lazy on the bed. She then bolted to the bathroom. After spending almost an hour to pamper herself, Qeiza got out with the nice fragrance that wafted through her entire bedroom. Qeiza felt her strength get stronger. She smiled in satisfaction, looking at her reflection in the mirror after finishing her minimalist make-up. “Okay. Let’s start the day with a smile and morning spirit,” Qeiza talked to herself. “Never let yesterday’s bad experiences affect your happiness today.” A wide smile framed Qeiza’s pretty face. She always had her own ways to chee
My Obsessive Ex 26. Don't Need To Bother
It’s hard to find someone who can be a true friend, but an enemy often appears without needing to be searched. *** From his desk, which was blocked by a glass door, Chin Hwa made a smile with the tip of his eyebrows raised high. Qeiza’s facial expression, when she blinked fast her eyes repeatedly while staring at her computer, looked very cute in Chin Hwa’s sight. “I guessed someone has just won a lottery.” All at once, Chin Hwa had stood exactly in front of Qeiza, exposing his teasing smile. “Need to be celebrated?” “You made me more nervous,” Qeiza burst. “You didn’t check it?” Qeiza shook her head. “I’m preparing myself to face the losing.” “Actually, not only your preference of flowers was unique,” commented Chin Hwa. “Need a help?” “No, thanks. I still can read.” After taking long breaths several times and exhaling them slowly, Qeiza finally opened her inbox. “Oh My God!” Qeiza’s face got bright. “I didn’t believe I’ll get this chance.” Chin Hwa also felt joyful when he
My Obsessive Ex 27. It's Better For You To Shut Your Mouth
The eyes and ears can deceive because what we frequently see and hear are not the real facts. *** Aleta felt her heart burn as Qeiza disregarded her threat. She even dared to break through her defences and forced her step backwards. It caused her back hit the wall. Not accepting being treated in such a way, Aleta hunted Qeiza and successfully pulled her hand harshly. “Huh! What a shameless woman!” She snapped. “You thought who you are so you dare to attack me?!” “Let my hand free, Miss! While I’m still asking you nicely.” Qeiza was completely furious at Aleta. That strange woman just came unexpectedly and waved a war flag, whereas they definitely didn’t know each other. Did Aleta’s brain also have a problem, just the same as Ansel’s? “Don’t dream!” Aleta tightened her grip. “What’s this fuss?” A young man at the age of his last thirties got out of the elevator and immediately approached them. Qeiza soon recognized him as the one who had interviewed her earlier. Aleta gave her
My Obsessive Ex 28. That Annoying Number Again
Someone who has neglected you might need you someday. *** The song lyrics of ‘My Love’ which was sung by Westlife lilted and infiltrated softly into Qeiza’s eardrums. The sky overarched the earth with its light blue color. The orange tinge of twilight curtain hadn’t flown yet on the western horizon. The solemnity of the romantic song wrapped in the softness of blue sky brought Qeiza’s dreams to wander, downing to the garden of feeling that the young people desired. It’s the garden where the flowers of love and longing were combined in the heart. Qeiza wasn’t a kind of a sentimental woman. But, the bad things she experienced all day made her need to calm herself down. The best way was by listening to the evocative songs while pampering her eyes with the beauty of the world. The top of The Eiffel Tower as if called Qeiza’s soul to immediately harbor her admiration at it. Qeiza stood at the corner of green-grassed field that stretched like a fur carpet looked from the distance. The

My Obsessive Ex 88. The Colors of Feelings
“You’re damn pretty, Dear ….” Mrs. Kim’s eyes flashed the light of admiration and pride for the new status of Qeiza as her daughter-in-law. “Dae Hyun is so lucky to have you as his wife.” “Mom ….” Qeiza blushed. The guests had dispersed. Now, just Kim’s family left. They were ready to leave the wedding hall. Mr. Kim tapped Dae Hyun’s left shoulder. “Now, Ae Ri is now completely your responsibility.” “Certainly, Dad. I promise to protect her and make her happy.” Dae Hyun reassured Mr. Kim. His hand reflexively wrapped Qeiza’s waist. A wedding car moved slowly and stopped right before Dae Hyun and his family. “Go!” said Mrs. Kim when Qeiza said goodbye with her eyes. Dae Hyun shortly held her hand, being ready to walk to the car. Ansel tapped Xander’s shoulder. He forced the guy to stop when he saw Qeiza and Dae Hyun getting closer to their car. Ansel rashly got out of the car and ran towards Qeiza. “Qei!” he called. Dae Hyun stopped his hand movement that would open the car do
My Obsessive Ex 87. She Deserves To Be Happy
“Why are you so obsessed with me?” “I’m crazy about you. I … can’t live without you.” “You’d been fine for four years,” said Qeiza.”You’ll also definitely live well for the rest of your life.” “Qei, please … give me a chance!” “Sorry, I can’t make it.” “Why? Do you really hate me that much?” “I’ve floated the pieces of my broken heart in the sea of tears,” said Qeiza. “It’ll be useless if you insist to put them together again.” Ansel felt his heart as though had just been torn apart by the sharp fangs of wild animals. It was totally hurt and painful. The sky was suddenly cloudy. The weather in the fall was changeable. The rain could pour at any time. It was like Ansel’s heart that also covered by the dark cloud of sorrows. “I’m sorry, Ansel!” Qeiza said. “From now on, please … stop chasing me!” “But … I’m really being drawn to you, Qei,” said Ansel, still fighting to convince her of the sincerity of his feeling for her. “Thank you. I’m flattered.” “So, will you think about
My Obsessive Ex 86. Let Me Make It Up To You!
Listening to Qeiza’s mutter, Mrs. Kim grabbed the album from her hands. She also wanted to see which photo caused her tears flooding her face more and more. “Don’t take it, Mom!” Qeiza robbed back the album from Mrs. Kim’s hands. “I miss my mom and dad so badly.” Mrs. Kim examined the face of little Qeiza on the picture then averted to Qeiza’s face before her, comparing them both. All at once, she rushed to hug Qeiza. “Oh, my dearest ….” Warm liquid flooded her cheeks. “I’m so sorry! It turns out that you’re very close all this time, but … I didn’t recognize you.” After hugging each other for a long time, Mrs. Kim raised Qeiza’s face. She wiped the girl’s tears with her fingers. “Thank you for coming back to us, Dear!” Mrs. Kim pecked Qeiza’s forehead. Mr. Kim also wiped his tears. Dae Hyun was dumbfounded. He was at a loss for words. He had mixed feelings—between being amused and touched. Qeiza did not know how long he stared at her parents’ face with the gaze full of longing.
My Obsessive Ex 85. Memory In A Picture
Ansel tiptoed, getting out of the place where he hid towards Dae Hyun’s entrance door. Once in while he looked back to reassure that no one caught him red handed. Ansel’s fingertips would just touch the doorknob when he felt a hand pulled his collar from behind. He turned his head to the right. The security guard of Dae Hyun’s house welcomed him with a fierce gaze right away. “Shouldn’t you have gone home?” Ansel smiled wryly. “I haven’t said goodbye to Ae Ri yet,” he answered. “Mr. Kim asked me not to let anyone in the house before he came home,” said the security guard. “So, please leave now!” Ansel showed off a sad look. “Just a moment … let me meet Ae Ri before leaving.” “Miss Kim needs to take a rest. She can’t be disturbed.” Ansel’s facial expression turned cloudy from the despair. The security guard couldn’t be persuaded. He could only turn his look to the upper floor when the guy kicked him out of Dae Hyun’s yard. He walked before the cab he ordered coming to fetch him.
My Obsessive Ex 84. Ansel's Trick
Ansel stood up straight away. His blood boiled seeing Dae Hyun carrying Qeiza. Furthermore, when from the distance he saw them both smiling at each other. “Is she no longer able to walk so you have to carry her on your back after doing exercises?” Ansel asked in cold voice. His gaze looked like he wanted to skim Dae Hyun alive. “Let’s get in, Oppa!” Qeiza whispered into Dae Hyun ear. She was reluctant to be near Ansel for a long time. Dae Hyun raised Qeiza’s position that lowered a little on his back. The next second, he walked to the gate, granting Qeiza’s wish. “Hey!” Ansel shouted when the security guard closed the gate without letting him follow them. “Let him in!” said Dae Hyun when his security guard asked him through his gaze. “He seemed to get lost.” Ansel clenched his hands into fists. Dae Hyun’s words were like intentionally insulting him. He could do nothing. In order not to lose Qeiza, he had to swallow the annoyance. He followed Dae Hyun’s steps into the house. “Yo
My Obsessive Ex 83. Enjoying The Time Together
The stars scattered on the night sky. They sparkled beautifully as if they invited the sparkles of incandescent lights along the Han River stream to joke. They competed with each other to show off their charms to the world. Qeiza was standing on the balcony of her bedroom, embracing her hands. Occasionally she petted her upper arms so the cold weather felt a bit lessen. She took a deep breath. She was resting her palms on the balcony guardrail. Her eyes were travelling, enjoying the beauty of the Han River banks. Yeah. Her adopted parents’ residence was in an elite area with spectacular views of the Han River stream and Namsan Mountain. From her bedroom, Dae Hyun could see Qeiza standing alone on the balcony. He put down the business magazine he read. Their bedrooms were neighbors. Even, their balconies were only separated by an iron fence about less than a meter in height. Here was Dae Hyun now. He jumped over the lower fence. In a blink, he had stood beside Qeiza. He also pampere
My Obsessive Ex 82. Consecutive Messages
Ansel packed his clothes in hurry. Repeatedly he glanced the clock on the wall as if he was afraid that it would run fast to leave him. “What are you doing, Ansel?” Alina walked to close Ansel. Her forehead furrowed when she saw her only son was packing up. He was like going to run away. “I’m going to catch up with Qeiza ASAP, Mom.” Ansel answered without stopping his hand movements, putting his clothes into the suitcase. His eyes didn’t avert to Alina either. “Why? Did Qeiza go back to Indonesia?” Alina got surprised. She had heard nothing about how she was since a few days ago. Ansel stood up straight. His suitcase was full. He came closer to his mother. He squeezed the shoulders of the middle-aged woman gently. “Wish me luck, Mom! I’m struggling hard to make your dream come true.” Alina caressed Ansel’s arm. “So … she really went home?” “She didn’t, Mom. She … she fled to Seoul ….” Ansel strengthened his squeeze on Alina’s shoulders. He forced his lips to smile eagerly. “Th
My Obsessive Ex 81. Turning Around
“What’s wrong?” asked Qeiza. Dae Hyun had just locked his phone. “Daddy is being hospitalized.” “I’m sorry to hear that. How long has he been there?” “Since yesterday.” Dae Hyun grabbed Qeiza’s hand. “Do you mind if we fly to Seoul right away from Bengkulu later?” “What? Are you crazy?” Dae Hyun smiled wryly. He was too early to ask her that question. “Just cancel the vacation! We’re flying home right away.” “Hah! Ae … you ... what did you say?” “Why are you stupid all of sudden, Oppa?” Qeiza glared at him. “We can enjoy the vacation anytime.” Dae Hyun was still dumbfounded. “Are you serious?” “Exceptionally I’m. Visiting daddy is more important. We don’t know how long he will survive.” “Thank you, Ae!” Dae Hyun was touched by Qeiza’s decision. “I promise. I’ll make it up to you another day.” A few seconds later, he called someone. “We’ll fly in two hours,” said Dae Hyun to Qeiza after he ended the call. “Turn around, Sir?” asked the driver that ear-dropped the conversati
My Obsessive Ex 80. Another Trap
“Qeiza! Don’t joke too much!” Amira scolded Qeiza. “What if Mr. and Mrs. Santoso get heart attack, huh?” “Ah, hahaha ….” Santoso laughed again. “So, it’s just kidding, right?” Mrs. Santoso just shook her head while caressing her chest. Raditya exposed a slight smile only. Qeiza sighed and said in a low voice, “It’s up to you if you don’t buy it." “Qei!” Abbas yelled at her. He gave her a deadly stare. Qeiza stared at Raditya seriously. “Don’t you say I never told that.” Qeiza rose. She bowed at Mr. and Mrs. Santoso. “Please forgive me, Uncle, Aunty … I can’t stay here any longer,” she excused. Abbas also stood up. He pressed Qeiza’s shoulders, forcing her to sit back. “What are you doing, Qei? The dinner has just started. It’s impolite to just leave.” Abbas suppressed his voice. He tried to cover the anger boiling in his chest. Taking advantage of Qeiza was not actually as easy as what he thought. “I’m sorry, Uncle! I have another agreement,” Qeiza denied. She raised her hand,
