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
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
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
"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 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."
"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
"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
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
"Forgive us, Abi," Norita interjected, truly at a loss for words to be forgiven by Abi and her family. After what they did to Jordi and for Jordi's safety. Norita feels very indebted. But, she realized that her child's married life couldn't be forced. "Sorry? Then what about my child's mental health? How will you take responsibility for it?" Abi asked, full of emotion and sarcasm. "What can we do to make up for everything?" Alexander looked resigned. It's up to Abi how he wants it. As long as he can do it, Alex and Norita will do anything to get forgiveness from Abi and his family. After all, they are good friends. "Are Jordi and Anita getting married?" Abi stated firmly. Meanwhile, his wife next to him said nothing. "It can't, Abi." "Why?" "Jordi ... marrying under duress is very bad." Not good for Anita either. "Your excuses are too many, Nori. Anita is very much in love with Jordi. She is even now sulking in her room after you said that Jordi has a child with that cheap wom
"Hmm ... later we will talk alone, Darling. They might be very angry because it seems like we are playing with their daughter." Alexander interrupted.Norita nodded."I am very sorry, dear. If only I hadn't been so stubborn back then. Surely five years ago we would have been happy with Luke too.""No one knows. Good or bad fate, we still have to go through it."Norita nodded slowly, agreeing with her husband's words."Tomorrow we are going back to Singapura. We need to talk to Abi and his wife."Alexander nodded his head.*Jordi and Alice's bridal suite"Wow ... the room is really huge." Alice was very impressed by the size of the room and the decorations in the hotel, which felt very luxurious."Of course. To nurture love, a cozy place is needed.""Ah, you always have something to say.""Let's take a shower first, so we feel fresh," suggested Jordi."You go first."Jordi has already taken off his tie and jacket. Only the shirt and pants are left to be taken off. Meanwhile, Alice, th
"I will take care of it. Tomorrow, you and Alice just go to the embassy to take care of your wedding. Uhm, but first, I will call the officiant so that you can have a religious marriage."Jordi smiled."Forgive us for being stubborn all this time."Jordi immediately hugged Alexander tightly."Thank you for changing your mind about Alice, Dad."Alexander nodded slowly."Where is mom?" Jordi looked around and didn't find Norita."Sleeping in the room with Luke. You mom is very tense and she is very afraid that Anita will hurt Luke.""Does that mean Alice is in the room with Mom?"Jordi's eyes widened."No problem. Your mother won't bite Alice.""It's not that she won't bite, I'm just afraid that she might intimidate Alice.""Your mother has changed. Don't worry. Fortunately, you and Alice have Luke, so your mother's heart has softened. Her priority now is Luke.""Alright, I believe you."Meanwhile, inside the room, Norita opened her eyes and saw Alice."Sorry. I didn't mean to disturb yo
"Why, Nori? You look very panicked," Alexander said as he stepped out of the room."Where is Luke?""Sleeping," Alexander replied briefly."Thank goodness." Norita could breathe a sigh of relief. Her grandchild was sleeping, so she could talk more easily with Alexander."What's really going on? From the room, I couldn't hear clearly what you were saying." Alexander was curious."Anita. She's gone crazy. What should I do?" Norita was so tense as she looked at her husband."Calm down. Don't panic just yet! Tell me what happened.""She was very angry because I supported Jordi and Alice's relationship.""Let's sit down first."Alexander then brought Norita to sit beside him. After they sat down, Alexander held Norita's hand tightly."Don't panic, Darling. All of this is because of us, and we really need to tidy up all the mess we've made.""But, I don't want our children and grandchildren to become victims later, Darling!"Norita's eyes looked very scared."Calm down. We have to resolve t
Meanwhile, Norita immediately called Alexander to watch over Luke. The woman had to talk to Anita and resolve all the chaos she had caused from the beginning."Why was that child told to go into the room? Are you afraid that I will hurt him?" Anita asked very sarcastically. Her gaze was so angry towards Norita as if Norita had now become her enemy. Not the future mother-in-law who always supported her in getting Jordi."It would be better if adult conversations were not heard by children," replied Norita, trying to stay calm.Anita smiled as if mocking Norita."Anita ... Luke is indeed Jordi's child," Norita interjected, trying to speak gently to the woman in front of her who looked emotional."How can you be sure, Auntie? Have you done a DNA test?" Anita asked as if trying to make Norita doubt Luke and Alice.Norita shook her head.Anita chuckled with satisfaction. According to her, there was a gap she could exploit to make Norita suspicious of Alice and immediately discard the idea
"Can I come in, Auntie?" asked Anita, her face already swollen."Y-yes. Come in."Norita invited Anita to enter her room. Actually, she thought Alice and Jordi were coming, but it turned out to be Anita."What's wrong, Nita? Sit down first."Anita nodded her head. The two women sat facing each other."Have you met Jordi yet, Aunt?" asked Anita, looking flustered."Yes""How is it, Aunt? Have you managed to convince Jordi to leave Alice?" Anita asked hopefully.Norita took a deep breath. Actually, she feels sorry for Anita who has been by Jordi's side for the past five years. Indeed, Norita admits, all of this is her fault. If she hadn't been so stubborn about separating Jordi from Alice, none of this would have happened."Aunt ... aunt, why are you silent?" Please answer me!"Sorry, Nita.""Sorry? What does Aunt's apology mean?""Jordi ... cannot be separated from Alice. Auntie cannot do anything." N
"Yeah, yo can just move in here. Later, buy a house near Alice's house. That way, you can come every day," suggested Jordi, which only confused Alice.Alice already knows that Norita is somewhat scary. Now Norita is even being asked to buy a house near her house? It could turn into a disaster later on."Alright then. Look for properties for sale near Alice's house. I am moving in with your dad.""And what about the company? Does that mean mom doesn't want to take care of it anymore? Are you no longer willing to take care of it?""Retired. I am better off with my grandchildren. But at first, I will still help. It's time for me and your dad to have fun without work, I just want to play with Luke. You take care of the company yourself."Jordi shook his head. Can't believe how Norita's attitude changed one hundred eighty degrees. It feels like just this morning she was saying that Luke wasn't Jordi's child, but now ... even Luke is being carried
"But ... not kidnapped, right? That's my child!" Jordi firmly warned Norita."Of course not. My handsome grandson like this, how could I kidnap him? Enough ... you take care of your own business. We just want to play with Luke. "Tonight, Luke will also sleep with me," Norita insisted."HAH!" Jordi was left speechless. Alice also became confused."Please bring Luke a change of clothes. We want to play with Luke. You want Luke, right?" replied Norita.Luke became confused. The child looked towards Alice to seek approval from his mother."Can I play with Grandma and Grandpa, Mom?"Alice was actually a bit confused. She was also afraid that Luke would be taken away by Norita and Alexander."Calm down. We won't take Luke away. We just want to play and be with Luke at the hotel. Is it okay, Alice?" Alexander tried to reassure his future daughter-in-law.Alice still looked confused."Tomorrow, just pick up Luke at the hotel. Tr
Alexander then came to Melbourne to meet Norita. But, he was more curious about his grandchild, who supposedly looked like Jordi when he was little.They went to the school where Luke was."That, dear. That's what they call Luke. Our grandchild," Norita remarked, very happy to see Luke even from a distance."His face looks very much like Jordi's.""Yes. I immediately recognized Luke as soon as I saw the child's face.""Do you want to hug him?""I really want to hug Luke. But ...""Why? Are you afraid that Jordi or Alice will get angry?"Norita nodded her head.Alexander took a deep breath."How about you just make peace with Jordi and Alice? We can help take care of Luke and maybe reduce our guilt for being too busy making money and neglecting Jordi when he was still a child.""Is that possible?" Norita seemed to have lost all hope."Of course, it can be done. But, you have to lower your ego. Don't forcefully try to separate Jordi from Alice. "Surely they will also relent if you stop
