"I love Alice with all my heart. If Alice leaves, then I could die right now in front of mom, if that's what you want!" Jordi screamed even more hysterically. The veins in Jordi's neck were clearly tensing more and more because of that scream.
Undeniably, Norita could see that Jordi loved Alice very much. But the problem is, Norita did not agree with Alice. She hated the girl who had taken Jordi's world away from her. The girl who made all of Jordi's thoughts and attention no longer on Norita, and what was even more annoying was that the girl was very poor.
"Jordi!" shouted Norita, who was very displeased with all the threats from her only child.
"Now, mom, you choose: do you want me to die in front of you now, or let me live peacefully with Alice?"
Norita fell silent, she turned her face away. She absolutely did not want to look at Jordi's face. Without realizing it, tears began to roll down Norita's cheeks.
Heartbroken. That is what the mother fe
"What's wrong with Jordi, Nino?" Alice started to feel tense upon hearing Nino's voice tremble slightly with fear."Jordi had an accident. He is currently being taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital. I will contact you later when he arrives at the hospital."Instantly, Alice's body went weak upon hearing the shocking news."Yes ... yes, Nino. Thanks. I will go to the hospital later."Alice immediately hung up the phone with Nino. She was very worried and her heart was beating very fast. What happened to Jordi? No wonder Jordi has been calling him, but Alice hasn't had the chance to pick up the phone because she has too much work to do.Regret?Of course, Alice regrets it. If only time could be turned back. Sigh ... unfortunately, all of that is just a hypothetical. With a hesitant step, Alice approached Nathan's office. She intended to ask her boss for permission to step out of the office for a moment.Knock! Knock! Knock!Alice knocked on Nathan's room door."Yes. Come in."CLIC
"Please check on Jordi's condition. I won't be able to enter Jordi's room later. Aunt Norita definitely won't allow me to enter and check on Jordi's condition," Alice pleaded hopefully to Nino."Don't worry, Al. I'll help as much as I can." Nino gently patted Alice's shoulder."Thanks, Nino.""Come on, let's go home first."Alice nodded her head. Nino immediately took Alice home.Meanwhile, Jordi had to undergo major surgery. His head was severely injured."Aunt Norita!" called a woman whose voice Norita recognized very well."Oh God, thank goodness you came, Anita.""What happened?" Why did Jordi have an accident?"Auntie doesn't know, Nita! Really, Auntie is confused," said Norita very panicked.CLICK!The operating room door opened, and the doctor attending to Jordi turned out to be Anita's father."Dad, how is Jordi?" Anita asked very worriedly."The bleeding in his head was quite difficul
"She is your future wife, Jor," Norita said with great certainty.Anita's eyes widened immediately upon hearing Norita's words. However, she didn't dare to say anything."My future wife? Is that true?" Jordi asked, seemingly in disbelief.Reluctantly, Anita nodded her head.Jordi smiled and looked a bit regretful. "Sorry, I really don't remember you.""It's okay, Jor. You and Anita can start a new chapter. There's nothing to regret," Norita interjected.The woman took Anita and Jordi's hands, stacking them together."You will be a very happy couple and mom approves.""Thank you, Mom.""Alright then. Mom has already taken care of our move to Singapore.""Why do we have to move, Mom?" asked Jordi, still confused about the current situation."Uhm, there is a doctor who can help to recover your body faster. The technology there is more advanced. Of course, you hope to get better, right?""Yes, Mom."
Ranti didn't budge."Mom ...""What do you want to do with that child?""I ... I don't want to abort it, Mom. I love Jordi so much and this is my child with Jordi.""But, Jordi is no longer here, Alice. You are not married yet either. How do you deal with other people's scorn? This child will be called an illegitimate child."Alice took a deep breath."Mom, please support Alice. Alice knows she was wrong. But ...""Mom will support you, Al. You are my only child. But the problem is ... you are pregnant out of wedlock and Jordi is already dead. We are still struggling to make ends meet. How can we add another child to this family?""I believe we can, Mom. As long as you support me."Ranti cried while holding her only child's hand."We can't stay here, Mom. The neighbors often gossip, and I don't think you can bear to hear what they all say.""So, what are you going to do, Al?""Uhm ... Al's boss."
"Sorry, Mom. But I don't want to right now," Jordi said with a very confident look at Norita."Why? Do you not love Anita and do you not want to end this nightmare?""I ... I still have amnesia, Mom. It's fine if you say I love Anita. But, really ... it's not because I don't love Anita that I refuse this marriage.""Then what?" Norita asked."I already told you before. I have amnesia," Jordi insisted."Anita doesn't mind at all.""But I'm against it, Mom!""What is your objection?""I... I haven't found a job yet. How can I support Anita if she marries me?" Jordi interjected.Anita and Norita felt they could breathe a sigh of relief now. It turns out it wasn't because Jordi was thinking of another woman, but rather because he wasn't working."You are recovering from the surgery on your head and also from the accident that happened. You don't need to think about working," said Anita, calming Jordi."I feel l
Anita panicked upon hearing Jordi's words."W-What did you say?""There's another woman. I can feel it, Nita. It feels... it feels like I was very intimate with her, very close."Anita's body stiffened upon hearing Jordi's words."Who is that, Nita? Who?""Impossible. It never happened, Jor.""Are you sure?""I think you are just under a lot of stress.""I don't know. ARGH! It hurts!" Jordi screamed in pain while holding his head."I'll get you some medicine first."Anita hurriedly took Jordi's medicine from the man's room, and also grabbed a glass of water."Here, take your medicine first."Jordi immediately took the medicine from Anita's hand and drank water until it was finished. Then, the man rested his head on the soft sofa while closing his eyes."You need to rest, Darling. You're too tired. Come on, I'll help you to your room."Jordi nodded his head. Anita helped Jordi to stand u
Mr. X: According to your friends, Alice is just a good friend.Jordi: Just a friend? Are you sure?Mr. X: Yes. I'll send you the photo. Maybe Alice knows best who your lover has been all this time in your dreams, Boss.Jordi looked at the photo sent by the detective he had hired four years ago. A photo of himself with Alice on campus. A seemingly ordinary photo, but it made Jordi's heart race when he saw it.Why is it that data about Alice is only being found now? Maybe it's because Norita deleted everything about Alice. There are no social media posts or campus records showing that Alice was Jordi's close friend.Yes, maybe it was just a stroke of luck that in Jordi's fifth year in Singapore, the detective finally found results and authentic photos about the friendship between Jordi and Alice.Jordi: Have you confirmed that she works at Fleko company?Mr. X: Yes, Boss.

Jordi tried to bring his face closer to Anita's. When his lips were almost touching Anita's..."ARGH! It hurts!" Jordi shouted, immediately pulling his face away from Anita's.Anita didn't want to waste any time; this relationship had felt very cold for five years. She immediately pulled Jordi's face and pressed her lips against his, moving wildly there while Jordi continued to groan in pain, then the man forced himself to break the lip lock with Anita."NITA! I don't like being forced!" Jordi shouted, wiping his lips that were wet from Anita."Jor ... all this time you haven't tried! You always avoid.""But every time I'm near you ... I get a headache. I see someone crying and it makes my head hurt.""Who is it? WHAT! WHO?" Anita retorted, snapping at Jordi."I don't know! If I knew, I would have found that person! You know that I have amnesia!" Jordi said, annoyed."Alright, let's just go home. Mom and Dad are already waiting
"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
