No one else spoke to the two of us again until we got to Bryce's office which is just there on the floor before where Grandma Briella had their guests on their anniversary.

"We're here," said Braylon and then he opened the door for me. Before entering, I checked Braylon's face again, and when he noticed that, he smiled at me. That smile that I knew was real somehow and not as forced as before when I saw him in the elevator.

"Thank you," I said and then entered Bryce's office.

When I entered, I saw him with his back turned to me while sitting on his swivel chair. I took a deep breath before trying to get his attention but I was just in the middle of breathing when I was overtaken when he suddenly faced me.

"What took you so long?"

I was surprised when he greeted me with that question. “Huh?”

"Tsk," he said and then reached for the wireless telephone at his side. "Call for a meeting now."

I just remained standing where I was while observing the furrowing of his forehead and then i

    "What do you think about my presentation?" I asked Bryce as I chased him out of the conference room. I couldn't help but feel nervous and excited about his reaction because earlier when we were inside the conference room, I didn't even look at the emotion on his face for a long time because I couldn't keep up with his gaze. He told me until he finally left that room after finishing the meeting. I forced myself to keep up with his steps because he was so tall that I could hardly keep up. I don't even know why and what kind of trip he's on because he seems to be in a hurry. When I was finally able to keep up with him and was able to see his face, my excitement immediately disappeared because I couldn't even detect any emotion there. I couldn't help but wonder if he was angry because of what I did to embarrass Eunice or maybe there was another reason since earlier when I just entered his office it was like he had a monthly visit if he looked at me. "Aren't you impressed?" I couldn't avoi

    "Thank you, Dra. McKenna," Bryce politely promised the doctor before we got into his car. To this day my brain can barely process what is happening. Has anyone ever eaten what this guy did and suddenly wanted to come out?! When have we been so close for him to act like this? "Where exactly are we going, huh?" I couldn't stand it anymore so I only spent a few minutes in his car when I started asking questions. "I don't feel good about whatever your trip is." I will be true. "I can't imagine that you would suddenly want to go on a date. With me?! Have you eaten something to suddenly want to do that?!" I couldn't avoid raising my voice because of the frustration I was feeling earlier. Ever since he told me to get ready because he was going to pick me up tonight to go on a date, that hasn't left my mind. "What do you mean?" For the first time since I saw him again tonight his face had an expression. His brow furrowed slightly although his eyes remained on the road. "Are you going to ta

    "And I'm hugging her right now." I don't know how many seconds passed before I finally processed what he said in my brain. I immediately got away from him and then faced him. I glared at him. "What do you mean you're hugging her right now?" I raised an eyebrow at him and then frowned. I immediately turned my back and then walked towards the living room of the yacht because I couldn't fight to look at him anymore. There's something in his eyes that seems like when he looks at me it penetrates my soul. "Is there something you want to eat?" he asked after a few minutes when all we could hear was the waves of the sea. His question was like a cue when my stomach suddenly started to boil. I was tormented by loss and I cursed with the wind. "Watch your mouth, lady," he reprimanded me before walking straight down a hallway that I think leads to the kitchen. I couldn't help but follow my curiosity that's why I followed it. "What do you want to eat?" "You know how to cook?" I couldn't help b

    "Where did you two come from last night and do that?" Braylon asked me immediately when he got near my seat. The two of us are here today on the medical mission and are carefully watching the release of food by Braylon and Bryce's companions. They were one after the other and they even had their tent where they used to stay. They also started offering to people even Bryce who although offering also gave me a bad look. I couldn't help but laugh because I knew the reason for his thoughts. "Woi. I don't know. What are you laughing at? Has that friend of mine leveled up whatever you have, huh?" The excitement was evident in Braylon's voice because he was like a child clinging to my arm and shaking it causing me to face him and lose sight of Bryce. "What just happened? Huh? Tell me a story." I laughed and shook my head and then jokingly messed with his hair so that I had to bend over to do it. "Calm down," I promised and then laughed. "You're becoming childish again because of your goss

    "What's with you and Bryce?" I was just surprised when suddenly Saighna approached me and just like that she was staring at me to the point that I even backed away because of the shock. I know what she's going through. That was the series of Bryce coming here who was always after me. To be honest, that one is here again and if Braylon hadn't pulled away from me, he would have surely followed me again and Saighna has no chance to get close to me now. "We're.. friends.." I don't know if I said that right because apart from being confused about how suddenly one day Bryce and I became close, I don't know if we are friends anymore because to me at least yes. I think of him as a friend even though I am often confused by his actions. "Liar." That's just how the word came out of Saighna. "I know you're seducing him, Gia." Her tone was very sure. "What would happen if your Mom found out what you were doing?" An insulting smile immediately appeared on her lips. I just suffered from nothingne

    A few days have passed since Bryce and Braylon continue to come here on our medical mission. They often become our food delivery because of the amount of food they prepare for the patients. I can see the joy on the faces of the people who are here, especially the young people who tasted such foods only a few days ago. But the doubts about Bryce do not go away, especially the elders and the people in charge of the area. I can often see them looking down on Bryce. Others will even scold the child because he likes to accept food from men. I can only hold my breath because I don't fully understand why it is so difficult for them to trust the man who gives time and time for them. "What are you thinking?" My mind snapped back to reality when I heard that familiar voice of Bryce's from behind me. I even felt the warm touch of his breath on the back of my neck, causing it to give me a strange feeling. I faced him. "Nothing. It's none of your business." I forced myself to lie down with him

    "Why is it that you have the urge to miss and sulk, eh, you don't have anything, and then you do that," I teased Braylon one morning. While on the way to the medical mission, I immediately talked to him. Because of his dramatic nature, I feel sorry for him. He hasn't been here for a few days on a medical mission and he said he was on a trip to make Saighna miss and sulk because of what happened in the past. I'm just shaking my head because he's so confident that the woman will miss him. "It's too early to hurt me with the fact that I already know, Gia." The acting is obvious in his voice. I just suffered from nothingness. "I know it's too early, so I'm impressed with you for being able to be so quick when you know that I'm on my way to a medical mission and it's hard to see Saighna there because she's been late more and more lately.." I don't know but when I remembered that moment I couldn't help but feel a pain in my chest. I also can't help but think that it's not unlikely that he

    "Nurse Gia, Dra. McKenna is calling you," a male nurse suddenly said to me. "Why?" I asked without taking my eyes off the two people flirting in front of me. "Maybe it's because your eyes are hurting from what you're seeing." I immediately looked up when I heard Braylon's familiar voice. "What are you doing here?" I asked and then stood up to face him. "I'll go first, Nurse Gia," informed the nurse who called me, causing me to nod in response before she left. "You can just look at the others, why do you put up with seeing them? You're still staring." Braylon nodded and then took some gummy worms from the jar on the table next to me. "Hey, you? What are you doing here? Aren't you sure you want to see your Saighna too?" I teased him and he winced. "I saw it," he replied as he chewed on the gummy worm. "Have you come close?" He looked up at me. His eyes are lifeless. Even his face was like a blank piece of paper. "Do you think I can approach her if she's too busy with your Bryce

    "Are you sure you want to take me?" I asked Bryce while we were on the yacht going to the other island where we were supposed to buy clothes that I would wear on the day of the prayer for his brother's death anniversary. I didn't have any clothes that would fit in such a gathering, so I was having second thoughts about going along, and another thing is that I'm still not that close to his family. I am only close to his grandparents and I feel comfortable only with them. Because it is certain that on the day of the prayer, many of his relatives will go there. "Yes. You looked restless a while ago. Are you okay?" he asked me. I couldn't avoid my two cheeks getting puffy as he gently pressed them so I gasped. I heard him laugh. "You're really cute, Gia." His compliment to me immediately caused my face to blush which I avoided by stroking him. "I can't help but be nervous because I'll see almost your whole family there," I said while bowing down but my forehead was wrinkled like that an

    "Braylon," I called the man one morning when I saw him just finishing helping to organize the things that would be needed that day. "Gia," he also called me and then approached me. He took my medical bag and then we walked to the tent where I was assigned that morning. "Aren't you going to ask where Bryce is?" he suddenly asked and then placed the medical bag on the nearest chair. I smiled and then shook my head. "I already know that he is on the other island to accompany some of their investors." I can't help but be confident as I answer those words. I couldn't stop biting my lips either. Braylon suddenly winced. "Tss. I hope everyone is updated with each other," he promised and then sat in the seat next to the one where he placed the medical bag. "Yours, even if I try to update every minute with everything I've done, I'm doing and I've done, there's still nothing and I don't think there's any hope of being cared about anymore." There are traces of sullenness and sadness in his vo

    "Hi." There was an immediate smile on his lips when I faced him. Like the moonlight it was dazzling. Honestly speaking, his good looks are always dazzling. Damn it, Gia. If Bryce came to read your mind, I swear you'll be digging your own grave because of embarrassment. I was exhausted. "What trip did you and Braylon have, hmm?" I kept asking to somehow get rid of the reddening of my face. "What do you mean trip?" His forehead immediately wrinkled when I raised my forehead because I couldn't help but smile. I like it every time his blank face gets different expressions when he talks to me. It makes me feel special because he becomes like that only to me. "This is not a trip, Gia. This is what you called a date." I couldn't help but feel sorry for him confirming that. I know what it is. I already have an idea but I'm preventing myself from assuming anything about this and the fact that he confirmed what brings butterflies into my stomach. When he guided me to sit down, I just let hi

    "Where is that cousin of yours, Braylon?" I asked because we had just moved and everyone was on the yacht I still couldn't see him. I think I've been all over this yacht and I still can't see Bryce even though his shadow is gone. Braylon watched me laughing. "Are you so in love with my cousin and you can't be bothered by that? Can't you first be satisfied with the idea and the fact that we are going to see him?" I sighed and then leaned back in my seat. Here we are now in the cockpit. This yacht is not that big compared to the one Bryce and I was on. "Do you think I am in love with him already?" I couldn't avoid being asked although I couldn't look straight at Braylon who did nothing but eat and eat gummies. Suddenly I heard him sigh causing me to look up at him. His face became serious and it immediately gave me a strange feeling of nervousness. "You are in love, Gia." That's how seriously he said those words. "I don't have anything against what you're feeling towards my cousin bu

    "Oh? What happened to your face? Why does it look like heaven and earth have fallen?" I asked Braylon one day when he suddenly appeared here again on a medical mission. He snorted and sat in front of my table where sat the patients we see every day. "Include hell as well," he promised. I grimaced and then pinched his forehead causing him to moan, hold him there and give me a bad look. "Get settled. What happened again, huh? Did Saighna ignore you again?" I asked even though I knew Saighna always did that to him. "Is that even a question up until now?" Sadness can be seen in his voice but if I let him feel more and more that the woman doesn't like him, he will only get sadder. I just shook my head and then took a jar of gummy worms from the bag at my side. "Here. Just eat those gummy worms," ​​I promised, and then immediately gave him three. Suddenly, when I looked up at him, he was glaring at me. "Oh why?", "Why three?" he asked and then motioned to me the gummy worms that were a

    During the trip back to the medical mission, Bryce still didn't release his grip on my hand. But that's how quickly I let him go when I saw a commotion in the area. We immediately got out of the car when we saw that everyone was in trouble. "What happened?" I asked when I saw Braylon helping the rioters and taking care of the nurses and doctors for the injured residents of the island. "I don't know. Suddenly, something exploded in a house at the far end of the island. When we got there and looked, the whole house was on fire. Fortunately, the people who lived there were outside when it exploded, but because due to the force caused by the explosion, materials from the house were thrown, causing injuries to people close to the area," Braylon explained at length before again supporting the nurses who were just approaching us who had their lead too. I started to act. I went to the tent where the other patients were. Compared to the tents we have been using for the past few days, this o

    "Hey.." His voice was very soft. It's like his tone is holding me back. It's too light, the opposite of what I'm feeling now. "Hush now, baby. Shh. I'm here. I won't leave you," he promised as I felt him kiss my hair. We both let each other sit on the grass facing the sea while my tears continued to fall. "I lose my younger sister.." I promised he stopped him even though he hugged me tighter. "I lose her and I blame my parents for so long without thinking that they are also hurt by what happened." I stopped when I felt something start to block my throat. "I blamed them. I blame them and because of that, I become selfish. I didn't think that if I lost my brother, they lost too." I felt even more the tightening of his hug on me even as he kissed my hair again. "I let them feel that they lose both of me and my sister. I failed them. I failed them, Bryce. I failed my parents. I let them feel those things just because I became selfish. I only thought about myself. I'm just thinking about

    I don't know what time I fell asleep again this morning. I just woke up when I heard someone talking to Mommy outside. I was going to leave the room. When I woke up and the morning stars were slightly removed from my eyes, I was immediately greeted by a very fragrant and masculine man who smelled like the person who had his back on me now. He was wearing a black suit and from where I was I could see how broad his shoulders were. You wouldn't think there was a wound behind the expensive clothes she was wearing. When Mommy noticed me, her smile widened. They were so beautiful that I almost forgot that he cried last night. "Gia is already awake-" Mommy interrupted what she was about to say when I quickly entered my room again. I remembered that I didn't even have anything in order with my face. Shame! Her perfume was wafting and I didn't even have a toothbrush! Shame on you, Gia! "I guess he will fix it," I heard Mommy promise followed by laughter. I acted quickly and did everything I

    I woke up one night when I suddenly heard crying from the other room. I immediately got up and checked what time it was. One o'clock in the morning… I quickly went to my mother's room. It was dark there so I stumbled before finally sitting on the edge of her bed. I felt the lampshade and turned on its light. I immediately got nervous when I saw my mother crying. "Mom," I called her while squeezing her cold and trembling hand. "Mommy, wake up," I said while caressing her cheek. I wiped her tears even though they continued. "Mom. Mommy, wake up." She tossed back and looked like she was catching her breath when she finally woke up. She continued to cry until she turned to me. That's how she whined when she saw me. She hugged both her knees and headed there. She let her crying continue again while I didn't know what to do. "Mom..." I called her. "Mom, you're having a nightmare.." I said and then guided her head to rest on my shoulder so that she could cry there as long as she wanted
