The sound of the bell being pressed in Jordi's apartment unit seemed like it wouldn't be patient.
Alice, who panicked, immediately came out of the bathroom and was fully dressed. She then gave Jordi a code to straighten the messy bed and replace the bed sheets with new, spotless sheets. After finishing all that, Alice gave Jordi a code to immediately open the door, while Alice would hide in Jordi's cupboard. Jordi immediately came out of his room and headed towards the entrance. He looked at the door view and found Hana behind the door. "Oh, my God. Bad time!" Jordi cursed when he saw Hana's bent face. At first Jordi wanted to open the door straight away, but he saw Alice's shoes and bag on the floor right near the entrance. "Oh my..." Jordi immediately took Alice's shoes and bag into his room, throwing them into the cupboard that Alice was occupying. "Ow... slow down, wow!" cursed Alice. "There's Hana," said Jordi quietly. Alice immediately covered her mouth, then Jordi closed the cupboard door but didn't lock it at all so that Alice could still get an oxygen supply from outside. Jordi ran to the door and opened the door for Hana. "Hana," said Jordi with a very awkward smile. "It's been a long time, Jor. Where have you been?" protested the beautiful hazel-eyed girl as she walked past Jordi. "Sleeping," answered Jordi, lying. "Are you sure, Jor? It's already eleven o'clock in the afternoon. You're still sleeping, darling." Hana approached Jordi, and her hands were clinging to Jordi's neck. Hana really missed Jordi after traveling abroad with her parents for a week. "Y-yes. Last night I went to the club. So I woke up late," answered Jordi honestly. "Who are you going with?" Hana frowned suspiciously. Jordi didn't say anything that he would go to a nightclub after college graduation. "With my friends." Jordi tried to let go of Hana's hug around his neck, but Hana continued to indulge happily. "With Alice too?" Hana asked suspiciously. Jordi nodded. "You guys drunk?" "No, I just drink orange juice." "Alice is getting drunk too." "No. She drank orange juice too." "Oh..." Hana noticed Jordi's neck, which had kiss marks on it. She got closer to Jordi's neck, and her hazel eyes widened. "You... you just slept with a girl?" Hana asked, panicked. "Huh..." Jordi became nervous. The cool impression that Jordi usually displayed was no longer there in front of Hana; there was only panic. Jordi avoided it. "You have a kiss mark on your neck," Hana pointed jealously at Jordi's neck. "Huh... really?" Jordi pretended to be stupid. "You've got lots of things, Jor!" accused Hana. Her eyes showed displeasure at the fact she had just learned. "No. It's just an allergy!" said Jordi, who was already like a fool. "Did you forget that I'm a future doctor? Take off your clothes! I'll have to see," forced Hana, who was trying to take off the t-shirt worn by Jordi. "No! What are you doing?" Jordi refused, who still didn't want to do Hana's wishes. It could be dangerous if it was discovered that Alice had left many kiss marks on Jordi's body. That's bad. There could be a world war later. "Is that girl here now?" Hana's hazel eyes were starting to turn red, holding back tears. She really likes Jordi, but it seems like Jordi is just normal. Doesn't show any feelings towards her. Hana also often hears that Jordi is the type of man who likes changing women; maybe Jordi often has one-night stands, but not Hana. Jordi never even kissed Hana's lips at all. For a year... no touching at all. Stiff, as if they weren't lovers. "Which girl do you mean?" Jordi's voice rose an octave. "Then it's true what people say about you." Hana shed tears full of sadness. "What?" "You like one night stands," shouted Hana. Jordi took a deep breath. "If so, why?" Jordi snapped. Let Hana misunderstand according to people's accusations, the most important thing is not to find out that Jordi has just had made love with Alice. It's up to Hana what she wants to say. Jordi doesn't care. He didn't love Hana at all. Jordi is also dating Hana because he is forced to, Alice is forcing him too much to try to have a relationship with Hana. PLAK! Hana slapped Jordi's cheek until it turned red. Really... Hana was very hurt by Jordi's confession. They were going to get engaged in a month, but Jordi ended up having a one-night stand with another woman. "We'll be engaged in a month, Jor! Why do you have to do this to me? What did I do wrong?" Hana hit her own chest while crying. Pain, pain, and disappointment—that's what Hana felt. The man she really liked since elementary school did not respond positively to her at all. "Yes, if you don't accept my behavior, just cancel the engagement! I really hope it!" Jordi answered very quietly. "Crazy! Why do you say cancel our engagement so easily? Don't you respect me?" "I respect you and your parents, so I want to date and get engaged to you. But to love you, I think you already know my answer from the past until now," said Jordi. "JORDI!" Hana screamed to stop Jordi's words, which were increasingly heartbreaking. "It's up to you what you want; I really don't care. Please don't bother with all my personal problems. We're dating because of pressure from our parents, not based on mutual love. I've tried, but I can't. So don't blame me!" said Jordi indifferently. He didn't even want to look at Hana's eyes, which were wet with tears. "Is this all because of Alice?" accused Hana. She was very jealous of Alice, who seemed to control Jordi's time. Even when they went on a date, Alice always came with them. Jordi and Hana are dating, but instead Jordi is always talking, joking with Alice. How can Hana not be annoyed? But all that changed since Alice started dating Nino, one month after Hana started dating Jordi. Alice no longer goes with Jordi; she doesn't follow Jordi wherever Jordi goes, and all of that makes Hana relieved. Hana thought that if Alice had a boyfriend, Jordi wouldn't be fixated on Alice anymore, but Hana was wrong. Jordi stuck around even though Alice was dating Nino. In fact, Jordi always refuses Hana's invitation to go on a date. How strange? They say they are true friends. There are no feelings whatsoever, but why does Hana see Jordi as someone who is jealous of Nino and Alice's closeness? Hypocritical! "Don't just accuse me. Alice and I are friends!" said Jordi very confidently, even though his heart was not sure. "Bullshit!" Hana snapped. "It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not. I really don't care about your nonsense. It's better for you to get out of here. I'm sick of looking at you," Jordi said harshly. Jordi's problem with Alice is not over yet, and Jordi wants to solve it quickly, so he has to throw Hana out of his apartment. Quick! BRAK! Suddenly there was a sound of something falling from Jordi's room, and it made Hana even more suspicious that Jordi was hiding someone in his room. "Who's that?" Hana snapped, "Your one-night stand friend?" Hana's heart grew hotter.Jordi panicked because he heard something fall. "Did Alice fall? Did she faint?" Jordi muttered to himself. He became very worried about Alice, who was still in the cupboard. He didn't even care about Hana's accusations. It felt like Jordi wanted to immediately throw Hana out of his apartment now. "This is none of your business, so you better get out of here. I still want to continue making love with the beautiful girl in my room. So please... don't disturb my fun!" Jordi pulled Hana's hand to get out of his apartment unit, even though Hana was still trying to hold on. Hana's energy was far less than Jordi's, so Hana was forced to leave Jordi's apartment unit feeling confused. "JORDI!" shouted Hana, who was still hitting the door of Jordi's apartment unit. Jordi no longer wants to serve Hana. Let Hana complain to her parents or Jordi's parents later. Jordi didn't care at all; the most important thing now was how Alice was doing. Jordi ran to his room and found Alice tidying up
"There's still a long way to go in life, Jor. Besides, you can't possibly marry me." said Alice, Try to calm down.Jordi got up from his seat and walked slowly towards Alice, who was still busy eating. He then pulled up the chair next to Alice and turned Alice's body to face him."What do you mean?""You don't have any feelings for me at all. There's no love, so why do you have to force me to get married?""Al ..." "Especially because you are scared that I will be pregnant. No! I don't want that, and I don't want to feel sorry for my child because he or she lives without love from his father," explained Alice as if she didn't care about the sad look in Jordi's eyes."What if I say I love you?""You're ridiculous!" Alice swiftly poked Jordi's forehead. "You're still affected by the drug, aren't you?" teased Alice, smiling confusedly."Are you serious?" Jordi stared at Alice's eyes very deeply."Never mind... don't because of what happened last night, you said you love me. I'm not aski
"No!" Alice said it firmly, even though she was very embarrassed. Alice didn't expect that she would be serving Jordi's seductive lips. "Haha... don't lie to me. I know you really like it when I kiss you." Jordi chuckled amusedly seeing Alice, who was getting more and more embarrassed. "I want to go home now." Alice pushed Jordi away from her, then started to take her bag and shoes. "Hana is still in front, you know!" Jordi said he was lying. What's more, the goal is to keep Alice in her apartment longer. "Are you serious?" Alice lowered her bag again. "Why can't I be serious?" "So when can I go home?" asked Alice, who was starting to get desperate. She was no longer strong enough to be with Jordi in the same place. Her heart kept beating erratically. "Later tonight. I'll take you with me. Then you'll just wear a hoodie and my bag. So you won't find out that you're a girl. Oh yes... don't forget to wear a mask and sunglasses." "ARGH! Jordi, why is it so complicated?" Alice sta
"Yes, that's because I'm still sleepy and you're bothering me," said Jordi irritably. He looked for whatever excuse he could to get rid of Hana and Norita from his apartment. "You lied," said Hana, who still didn't believe Jordi. "You guys really don't believe me, do you?" Jordi protested. He pretended to get a drink in the kitchen while guarding Alice's hiding place so that Norita and Hana would not visit him. "But there are kissmarks on your neck, Jor!" Now Hana's voice started to come out in a protesting tone. "Oh, well... that's the name of the club too. Everyone is drunk. So if a drunk woman gives me a kissmark on my neck, that's normal," Jordi explained again. "So you were drunk last night? Oh my goodness, Jordi! I have told you many times that you shouldn't be drunk." said Norita angrily. "Yes, yesterday was the graduation ceremony; just passed the tri
"But first, you promise me one thing!" Jordi looked at Alice's eyes, which were glistening with tears."What?""Promise first!""Ah... this is a tricky promise! I'm too lazy to promise you," said Alice.She was too often deceived and trapped by Jordi's promises, where the last sufferer was her. Alice already knows Jordi's annoying behavior by heart."No. This time I won't lie!" Jordi stared at Alice's beautiful eyes. He tried to reassure Alice with his very serious eyes."I'll listen first; what do you want? If it makes sense to me, then I'll do it." Now Alice is smarter than ever. Not to surrender and believe in Jordi's promises and boasts."Haha... you're starting to get smart, aren't you?" Jordi poked Alice's forehead gently."Of course""I want you to never leave me. No matter what will happen next," asked Jordi very seriously."Hmm...""Why are you even thinking?" Jordi protested
Alice's cell phone rang, indicating an incoming message. Alice immediately grabbed her cellphone and saw who sent her the message.Jordi: Alice, don't you ever think about leaving me! Because I will chase you forever. I love you to death, and no one can replace you in my heart!Alice stared at the flat screen on her cellphone. Take a rough breath. "ARGH! Why is it like this?" Alice screamed in her heart while ruffling her own hair.Chaotic... that's the most appropriate word for Alice right now.Ting!Alice's cell phone rang again. Lazily, Alice looked again at the contents of the message, and it most likely came from Jordi, and it turned out that Alice was wrong. The person who sent the message was Nino. His current boyfriend is out of town because of his work.Nino: Hi, darling. What are you doing? What time did you come home yesterday? Why didn't you tell me?Alice: Sorry. I forgot. Last night Jordi was sick. So I hel
Alice stuttered. She didn't know what she should do. Accept Nino as her husband? No. Alice is too dirty for that. Nino didn't deserve a newly broken Alice."Alice," Nino called softly and broke Alice's thoughts."Yes, sorry," Alice answered nervously."Will you marry me?" Nino repeated his question again. His position was still the same, kneeling while pointing the box containing the ring in front of Alice."I-I..." Alice was confused about what to answer. She wanted to say yes, but Alice couldn't lie to herself that she didn't love Nino. How will this loveless marriage continue? Poor Nino, who had too much hope for Alice. In the eleven months Alice has been in a relationship with Nino, she has really tried to love Nino, but for some reason it is very difficult.Moreover, Jordi always interferes with their getting to know each other. If Alice said no, then Nino would definitely b
A man's voice sounded like he was jealous and angry because he saw Alice hugging Nino. A voice that Alice knew very well, and that voice was the voice of the person Alice least wanted to hear at the moment. The voice of the person Alice most wanted to avoid."ARGH! What is he doing here?" Alice cursed in annoyance, and she tightened her embrace on Nino. Her last shield."Alice!" Jordi shouted again, very annoyed because Alice didn't want to let go of her hug on Nino."Honey. Why is that Jordi like angry at you?" Nino asked in a slight whisper. He was confused because Jordi looked very annoyed with Alice. He doesn't know what Alice and Jordi's problem is at the moment."I don't know. Just leave him alone. He'll just be quiet later," replied Alice very lazily. She deliberately hugged Nino tightly."Did you guys fight?" Nino whispered again in Alice's ear and made Jordi more angry."Hey... you don't need to be intimate in front of m
"Jordi! No! You have no right to take Luke from me! Luke is my child! Only mine, not yours!" Alice insisted."But it also has my seed that produced Luke! You're not an amoeba that splits itself to reproduce! Clearly, Luke is my child!" Jordi replied, not accepting it."Jordi ..." Alice interjected weakly.Alice knows Jordi's nature very well, which probably hasn't changed until now. Jordi cannot be scolded; he must be told gently.Jordi fell silent for a moment. Alice's face, which looked almost like she was about to cry, made him realize he had shouted at the mother of his child."Please ... don't be like that. I'm begging you." Alice pleaded with a hoarse voice."Okay. But tell me what happened! How did we end up like this?" Jordi replied softly. He no longer raised his voice.Alice took a deep breath."Yes, Luke is indeed your child. You are right. I am not an Amoeba either." Alice whispered, finally having to tell the truth
Jordi immediately got out of his car. With trembling hands and trying to calm himself, he pressed the doorbell in front of Alice's house.Ding Dong!Jordi stood silently in front of Alice's house. His legs were like jelly, weak with the reality he might have to face.CLICK!"Jo-jordi!" Alice's eyes widened. She was really very confused right now. Why does Jordi know her house?"Alice ..." Jordi said weakly."How did you get here?""Uhm ... may I come in?""No ... let's talk outside."Alice pushed Jordi away from her front door and immediately closed it."Why? Am I not allowed to enter your house?" Jordi said softly."Don't. My husband will be upset if he sees you.""Husband? Where is your husband? Please introduce me to him.""What's the point, Jor? Forget it ... just go to your own home.""No! I came here to find something.""What are you looking for?""I...""What you're looking for isn't in my house!" Alice said firmly, very protective."Why? What do you know about what I'm looking
"Does she already have children?" Jordi was very curious. For the past five years, he really hasn't heard from any of his friends. His life is only focused on work and Anita."Hmm ... it seems like Alice's child is a boy. Should I just buy a gift?"He didn't want to think too long. He immediately left the Fleko office and went to the shopping mall. He entered the toy store."Hmm ... how old is that child? Four years or three years, I wonder?" Jordi wondered to himself."Well, whatever, I'll just buy him a toy car and a water gun so he can play. Just consider it a gift from your uncle. Hehe ... " chuckled Jordi to himself as he looked at the toy that he thought was nice and interesting for Alice's child, who should have been a boy."Can I play with Alice's child? Maybe it will be fun. Uhm ... her husband? Is he allowed? But, isn't it that a friend can't invite their friend's child to play? No way ... of course, it's fine to play with Alice's husband
"It turns out he is still alive.""HAH!"Ranti was really surprised by what Alice said."I'm just as surprised as you, Mom.""How did you find out?""Jordi's company is a client at my company. And ... the project I've been working on until overtime since yesterday is Jordi's.""Don't you know about him?" Ranti couldn't fathom the very frightening coincidence.It was like a nightmare to get involved with Jordi again. Especially with Norita, who was so terrifying. Making Ranti and Alice's life in Jakarta for two weeks even more terrifying.Norita's henchman went crazy inside Alice's house. So, Alice and Ranti's departure to Australia was expedited. Fortunately, Nathan helped both of them escape Norita's grip."No, Mom. The company seems kind of closed off like that. So, I have no idea who the owner of the company is.""So what happened next? What did he say to you, Al?" Ranti was curious."He has amnesia, Mom
Alice just wanted to cry upon hearing Jordi's words. The woman actually misses Jordi very much. In fact, almost every night she and Luke pray for Jordi to be happy in heaven. But, it turns out Jordi is still in the world. What a strange prayer when she thinks back on it."I ... I don't know," Alice replied hesitantly."Didn't I tell you?"Alice shook her head."It's better if you contact a psychologist or psychiatrist. Who knows, they might be able to help you.""You are just like Anita. Telling me to see a doctor.""Well, you do need help. Why refuse it?""I feel ... if I meet her, then this illness of mine could be cured.""I don't know, I can't help you, Jordi. It's better if you see a doctor so you won't think about the past anymore. Anyway, you have to live your new life. Starting a family with Anita. Your children will definitely be handsome and beautiful. Like you and Anita.""Of course. I have really good genes."
"Can't count anymore. Too many until I got dizzy."Jordi chuckled to himself upon hearing Alice's words."So, who do I love the most?""I don't know. You're the one in charge, why would I ask something like that?" protested Alice. "That's such an unreasonable question.""Don't be like that. It's just that the person is having memory loss and trying to regain their memory." That's why he asks strange questions."Yeah, you're weird. You already have a fiancée who is definitely beautiful and smart, why do you even need to ask about the past? Not interesting at all.""Anita is indeed beautiful and smart.""Look, she's the perfect woman. She suits you better than the mediocre taste you had before."Jordi laughed heartily.It feels like this is the first time Jordi can laugh so happily in the past five years, which have been filled with stress and pressure."Was my taste really that bad before?""Indeed, y
Alice took a deep breath. "Okay, lunch.""That's the great."Jordi smiled at Alice because he could win."I'll leave first. I have work to do.""Alright, I'll wait for you in the lobby this afternoon."Alice nodded and immediately left Jordi alone in the meeting room.When Nathan saw that Alice had left the meeting room, he immediately approached her."Alice, to my office for a moment."Alice nodded and followed Nathan from behind."What's wrong, Sir?" Alice asked as she entered Nathan's office."Jordi? The person from the past that you mourn? Whom you thought had died?""Ssh ... don't be too loud, Sir!" Alice pleaded."Ok, so he's Luke's daddy?"Alice nodded slowly."Then, why did he come here?""He... didn't I tell you that Jordi had an accident and died?""Okay, then why is he still alive?" Nathan wondered to himself."Well, that's what was driving me half crazy
Jordi waved his hand at Alice."Al, do you know him?" Valencia asked Alice."Y-yes.""Everyone, this is Mr. Jordi from Miracle Compay. He is the owner and CEO." Valencia introduced him to everyone.Alice's heart raced even more."Let's sit down first." Nathan guided Alice's hand because he felt Alice was really stiff now.Jordi kept watching what was happening with Alice. For some reason, his eyes couldn't move away from Alice, who was very shocked by his arrival."Al, can you present?""asked Nathan.Frankly, Alice was blank. She is confused by what she is facing now. Even Jordi said "long time no see" to him. Truly, it's confusing."Sir, could you please be the one to present? I ... I'm blank." Alice pleaded."Okay. I'll take over for you."Nathan then began to present what Alice had created in the PowerPoint in front of everyone in the meeting room.Jordi nodded slowly in agreement with what the Fl
"Later... I will think about it again."Anita let out a rough sigh."Please help, Aunt. I can't take it anymore like this. It's like competing with a phantom for five years.""Yes. You just relax. I will think of another way for your relationship with Jordi. For sure, for Auntie, the one who will be my daughter-in-law is you only. Not Alice or any other woman.""Thank you, Aunt."After finishing her conversation with Norita, Anita left the room and pulled Jordi's hand to talk privately on Jordi's balcony."Jor ...""Um, yes?""Are you still mad at me because I forced you earlier?""No, not really. I realize that I am also at fault. I didn't want to make an effort for both of us, but I was always haunted by a shadow whose identity I didn't even know.""Do you think ... we can get married?" Anita said despairingly.Jordi was increasingly confused about what to say to Anita."Yes. But ..." A hint of dou
