The sound of Devan's room bell rang repeatedly. Devan, still half-asleep, opened his eyes with difficulty, his head throbbing slightly. He approached the door and peered out to make sure who was coming."Robi!" exclaimed Devan in surprise.Devan glanced at the wall clock; it was already 7 in the morning."No way! Robi can't know that last night I slept with someone, and it was a hotel servant!" Devan panicked.Devan quickly cleaned and tidied up his bed, noticing fresh bloodstains on the white sheets."Is the woman still a virgin?" mumbled Devan, speaking to himself.Realizing that the room bell kept ringing, indicating Robi was still calling him, Devan couldn't think of anything else. He quickly covered the stain with a blanket, put on his sleepwear, and went to open the door."Huaaa... what's going on?" Devan asked, yawning at Robi. Robi waved his hands in front of his face to keep the air from Devan's mouth away from his nose.Robi looked around inside Devan's room, making Devan wor
A day before the incident happened.On a luxurious sailboat, a 28-year-old man in a black long-sleeved shirt stood gallantly, gazing straight ahead after just finishing a call with his girlfriend."What's up?" asked a man around the same age, patting his shoulder."Nothing, just finished talking to Eca," he replied with a smile on his lips."Already missing her after a short while, but I understand. It's your first voyage for work, so you two aren't used to being apart.""Yeah, she asked me to come back quickly.""Don't worry; we'll definitely go back. You're getting married in a month, so we'll surely return before the wedding day," said Devan's cousin.Devan just smiled in response to his cousin's banter. "We'll soon make a stop at Telu Island; it's known for its delicious cuisine. I plan to take you to taste the food there soon. Are you in?""Of course, you're more experienced than me. I have a lot to learn from you about managing the ship business," Devan said.Robi smiled with a
It's been almost an hour, and Devan is still at the bar, talking to Eca on the phone.Several attractive women come to flirt with Devan, but they are immediately chased away by Robi."Don't bother him; his girlfriend is prettier than all of you combined. He just wants to relax here," Robi says to them, making the women leave in annoyance.Devan laughs at how Robi dismisses the mischievous women. Devan has finished three glasses of wine, and he starts to yawn."Love, I think I should head home now; I'm getting sleepy," Devan says to Eca."Yeah, go ahead, take Robi with you," Eca replies."No need, I'll go alone; you keep me company on the phone. Robi seems to be discussing something serious.""Alright then, be careful on the way, my love.""Sure thing, and don't hang up, I still want your company," Devan requests, smiling sweetly at Eca."Okay, my love."Devan approaches Robi, who is deep in conversation with his friends, and asks for permission to leave earlier."Rob, I'm heading home
The day has turned dark, and Devan still hasn't met Lisa, resigning himself to going home that night.Before leaving, Devan leaves his phone number on a paper on the table, still hoping to be contacted by Lisa. After all, he hasn't given her any money yet.Devan is already on the ship, choosing to stand on the top deck. His eyes keep staring towards the hotel, as if something is left there, but he doesn't know what.On the dock, Moni and Lisa are enjoying the cool night breeze, gazing at the luxurious ship in front of them. Lisa has to take a break from work because she still feels pain in her groin."Mon, you know, besides working at the hotel, I really want to work on that ship. How does it feel to enter such a luxurious ship?" Lisa asks while sipping her coffee."I don't know. I never imagined going there. The passengers inside are not middle class like us, but elite class. Look, there's no one dressed as simple as us; they're all in luxurious attire," Moni replies."Looks like you
Safely on the bed, Lisa starts crying again, covering her face with both palms. Moni tries to comfort her."What should I do, Mon?" Lisa asks Moni."You calm down first. We need to think about this carefully with a clear head. You need to stay calm and think about the baby's health. After all, the baby is innocent and deserves to live peacefully," Moni replies.Lisa looks at Moni."Are you saying I should keep this baby?" Lisa asks."Of course! Never think about aborting it, Lisa! The baby deserves to live happily!" Moni firmly answers."But this child doesn't have a father, Mon. Who will support its life? If I work, who will take care of it?" Lisa asks anxiously."Lisa, every child comes into this world with its own destiny. Never think that giving birth to a child will make you poor.""But I'm not ready, Mon.""I'm here. I'll always be by your side whenever you need me. I promise I'll treat this child like my own niece or nephew. So, please, defend it. Never intend to terminate it.
"Enough, Dad! Don't blame Moni! She doesn't know anything; it's purely an accident. Lisa was forced to serve a man she didn't even know, so Dad, never blame Moni, let alone speak ill of her. She's not as bad as you think! In fact, she's better than you!" Lisa said, releasing her father's grip on her arm."What did you say? She's better than your own father? You dare to say that? You've become so audacious, talking back to your father like this!" Lisa's father responds."Lisa isn't audacious; Lisa is just imitating what Dad has been doing to Lisa! All this time, Dad has always listened to the words of his unstable wife and never cared about Lisa! Am I wrong for defending someone I consider family?" Lisa replies, almost shouting at her father.Slap!A hard slap lands on Lisa's smooth cheek, making her stagger to the side. Luckily, Moni quickly catches Lisa's body; otherwise, Lisa would have hit the wall beside her.Lisa lifts her face and looks at her father, smiling."This isn't the fi
Lisa has returned to work at the hotel, even though she feels very unwell. Nausea continues to bother her, but she needs to go to work to gather the information she needs.She quickly heads to the hotel room that Devan once stayed in, holding the key to the room. Lisa hopes to find something that can give her clues on how to meet Devan.Lisa scans the entire room, opening every cabinet and drawer that might have been used by the guest, but she finds nothing."After that man stayed here, no one else has occupied this room. Maybe there's nothing I can find here. I should search for information in the guest registry," Lisa murmurs to herself. She decides to leave the luxurious room.Due to the high price of the room, it is rarely booked by hotel guests. Only certain individuals are willing to pay such a high price for a single night.To avoid suspicion, Lisa chooses to be alone in the restroom, pacing inside and contemplating how she can obtain private guest data.While Lisa is pacing in
Lisa goes straight to Moni's house after work; she doesn't have any other place to stay temporarily except at Moni's house."I apologize for bothering you all the time," Lisa says to Moni."Don't worry about it. Pregnant women shouldn't worry too much; it's not good for the baby," Moni replies, placing a plate of french fries in front of Lisa."I've got Devan's address. He lives in the city of Zimbal," Lisa says."Zimbal? That's quite far," Moni complains."Yeah, what should I do? Should I go look for him there?""It's up to you. If you're sure you need to meet him, then go. If not, don't. It's quite far, and I'm worried about your pregnancy."Lisa falls into silence for a while. Moni chooses not to disturb her, allowing Lisa to come to her own conclusion."I still need to meet that man. He has to take responsibility for what he did," Lisa says after remaining silent for a while."I'll support whatever decision you make. If you decide to go, you shouldn't go alone. I'll accompany you.
Aurora happily took the uniform. "Thank you, Mom," she said, running to the bathroom to get ready.Meanwhile, Lisa helped Dylan put on his school uniform, making sure everything looked neat and perfect."You look handsome, sweetheart," Lisa said lovingly, adjusting Dylan's red tie.Dylan smiled proudly. "Thank you, Mom. Let's hurry, I can't wait to go to school!"After the whole family was ready in their outfits, they gathered back in the living room to wish each other well for the new day. They exchanged hugs and kisses, making sure to give each other support and love before starting their day."May your day be filled with happiness and success," Lisa said softly.Devan nodded. "Same to you, honey. Don't forget to always remember what grandma Sofi taught us about spirit and courage."Dylan and Aurora nodded in agreement. "We won't forget, Dad," they said together.With that, they parted ways to start their day with the same spirit and happiness as taught by grandma Sofi. Although gra
Sandra continued to gently kiss Grandma Sofi's forehead, tears flowing endlessly. She felt so devastated by the loss of Grandma Sofi, a person she loved so much and meant so much to her. Beside her, Remos stood with sincerity, trying to provide support to his grieving wife."My love, I know how difficult it is for you to lose Grandma," Remos said softly, embracing Sandra tightly. "But we must be strong and accept the fate we are facing now. Grandma is in a better place now, without pain or suffering."Sandra took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. "I know, Remos. But it feels so hard to let go of someone we love so much."Remos gently rubbed Sandra's back. "I feel it too, Darling. But let's remember all the beautiful memories with Grandma Sofi, and let the love and warmth she shared throughout her life continue to strengthen us in facing these difficult times."Sandra gazed at Grandma Sofi's face with love and respect, then she kissed her forehead gently once again. "Farewell, Gra
The back terrace of Grandma Sofi's house was bathed in the warmth of the morning sun, signaling the beginning of a beautiful day. The fresh air filled the atmosphere, inviting anyone who felt it to breathe in the natural freshness. After a night full of joy celebrating Lisa's birthday, it was time for Grandma Sofi to rest. However, as she woke up on that bright morning, she felt energized and happy. Around her, the scent of delicious breakfast began to waft, tempting the appetite.Grandma Sofi sat on the back terrace, gazing at the beautiful flower garden surrounding her, a smile etched on her face. She felt grateful to have such a warm and loving family like her daughter, Lisa, and son-in-law, Devan, along with her two grandchildren, Dylan and Aurora, who made her life so meaningful.As Lisa and Devan appeared carrying a breakfast tray, the smile on Grandma Sofi's face widened. They placed the breakfast tray on the table in front of Grandma Sofi and sat beside her with cheerful smile
Lisa, smiling warmly, responded, "Grandma, we feel so lucky to have you. You always provide us with the love and wisdom we need."Devan nodded in agreement, "Yes, Grandma. You are the foundation of our family. We all deeply appreciate everything you do for us."Robi, sincerely, added, "Grandma, you are a role model for all of us. We've learned so much about love and sacrifice from you."Grandma Sofi smiled tearfully, "Thank you, my children. I just want to see all of you happy and successful in life. Together, we are a strong family."Moni added enthusiastically, "Yes, Grandma. We promise to always support each other, just as you've taught us."In the loving togetherness, they felt the strength of the irreplaceable family love, ready to face any challenges and celebrate all the happiness that would come together. In this moment, they united in prayer, pleading for togetherness and happiness to always accompany them all.As dusk enveloped Grandma Sofi's house, the atmosphere became war
While they were busy preparing everything, they also made sure that Lisa wouldn't suspect anything by hiding all the preparations in the backyard or in areas of the house that Lisa rarely visited.Devan gave instructions to Moni cheerfully, "Moni, could you please adjust that decoration a little to the right? I want to make sure everything looks perfect!"Moni quickly responded, "Of course, Devan! I'll adjust it right away."With agility, Moni moved some decorations that needed to be adjusted in position, ensuring that everything looked balanced and beautiful. She worked quickly and carefully, listening to every instruction from Devan attentively.After some adjustments, Devan looked at the result with a satisfied smile. "Perfect! Thank you, Moni. You're really great at arranging decorations."Moni smiled proudly, "No problem, Devan! I'm glad to help. Everything looks amazing now."With efficient teamwork and high spirits, they managed to arrange the decorations perfectly, creating a
With hearts full of gratitude and strong camaraderie, they ended the day, ready to embrace new adventures awaiting them tomorrow. In the embrace of togetherness and friendship, they fell asleep peacefully under the sparkling sky, looking forward to new adventures that would come tomorrow.After a long and adventurous journey, Lisa, Devan, Robi, and Moni finally arrived home with a sense of relief and happiness. They bid farewell to their ship with smiles and hugs, feeling grateful for having spent valuable time together.Lisa and Devan arrived home with warmth and happiness. They opened the door with wide smiles, longing for the presence of Dylan and Aurora inside the house. Their children welcomed them with warm hugs and stories about what they did while Lisa and Devan were away.Meanwhile, Robi and Moni also felt delighted to arrive home. They turned on the lights and sat in the living room, sharing stories about their adventures with Lisa and Devan. Morfi and Arjuna, their children
Lisa smiled. "Thank you, Devan. You truly are a great leader. You always know how to motivate all of us and keep the spirits high among the team."Devan smiled shyly. "Ah, I'm just doing the best I can. But I'm very lucky to have such an amazing team like all of you."They walked silently for a moment, enjoying the peacefulness of the quiet night. However, beneath the tranquility, they felt very grateful for their achievements and relieved to be able to relax after a long day."Let's rest now. We'll surely have a lot to do tomorrow," said Devan as he opened the entrance door to their hotel.Lisa nodded in agreement. "Absolutely. Hopefully, we can wake up with fresh spirits to face tomorrow."With smiles on their faces, Lisa and Devan entered the hotel for a well-deserved rest after a fulfilling day.After they arrived in their hotel room, Devan sat next to Lisa with a somewhat serious expression. Lisa looked at him with surprise and asked, "Is something wrong, Devan? You look a bit se
With mutual forgiveness and respect, they all hoped that they could overcome these difficult times and build a stronger and more harmonious relationship in the future. With the regret expressed by Eca's parents and the wisdom shown by Robi and Devan, they hoped to move forward peacefully and hopefully.After the tense incident, Devan, Lisa, Moni, and Robi decided to continue their journey to formalize their new company. Although they were still disturbed by what had happened, they found strength and courage in their unity.With strong determination and unwavering spirit, they proceeded with their plans to formalize their ship business on Telu Island. They realized that the journey to success wouldn't always be smooth, but they were ready to face any challenges that might come their way.Devan led with a strong vision and leadership, while Lisa contributed her intelligence and creativity in designing business strategies. Moni brought her reliable administrative skills, while Robi provi
Devan nodded in agreement, adding, "We have to ensure that the meeting takes place in a safe location and under the supervision of the authorities."They realized that meeting Eca directly could be an opportunity to clarify the situation and find a good solution. However, they also had to consider the possibility of conflict or threats that might arise during the meeting.After weighing the pros and cons, they finally decided to meet Eca at the police station, where the presence of the authorities could provide security and protection for them all.Before being detained at the police station, in a tense and frustrated state, Eca began to rage at his henchmen after realizing that the certificates they took were fake. His facial expression radiated deep anger, and his voice trembled with disappointment and confusion."You fools! How could you make such a big mistake?" Eca yelled angrily, his gaze piercing sharply at his terrified henchmen.The henchmen stood tense, feeling intimidated b
