Serenade of Secrets 1
Hera gazed towards the door of her mother's hospital room. Ah, she had been staring at it for the past 10 minutes. Hoping for a miracle."Alright, I'll think about everything while working today," Hera said eventually. She decided to get up and hurriedly make her way to a restaurant. Of course, to work.Hera quickened her pace. Ah, she was almost late for today. But thankfully, her boss was aware of her situation so far. So, she felt relieved about that."Almost there," Hera muttered. She then rushed to change her clothes and started working.Today, Hera had the afternoon shift. That meant she would work until nightfall. No problem, she preferred working at that time because if it were in the morning, she would have to go back to the hospital to take care of her critically ill mother."Hera, I thought you wouldn't come today," said Jessy - one of her understanding colleagues, just like her boss, of course.Hera looked at Jessy and smiled, "Of course I'll come, besides, I've already ha

"What? You're unusually kind, Sean," Hera's heart raced as she remained kneeling in her current position. Well, at least she could identify this kind man. His name was Sean."Thank you, Mr. Sean. I'm deeply sorry for what happened tonight," Hera said afterwards.Sean looked at Hera, even smiling faintly upon hearing her, "Stand up, it's not nice if others see you like that."Hera blushed again. Oh, this kind man made Hera regret her actions so much. She had been so reckless.Obediently, Hera stood up and nodded, "I'll replace your drink with a new one. Please wait a moment."Hera immediately left and was followed by David afterward."You're very kind, for once," Nick, Sean's friend who had been instigating the situation, said."It's none of your business," Sean replied, then smiled to himself.On one hand, David immediately instructed other staff to make a new drink for Sean."No, let me do it. After all, I'm the one at fault for what happened," Hera said. But still, David shook his h

Hera sighed for the umpteenth time. That night, she had indeed decided to stay overnight at the hospital, and she also wanted to meet the doctor who was handling her mother."Hera."The woman turned towards the source of the voice, smiling, and then rose to her feet. "Yes, Sus? Can I meet the doctor who is treating my mother now?""I'm sorry, Hera. But apparently, the doctor is performing emergency surgery tonight, so you can come tomorrow morning and meet him. Regarding your mother, I'll keep watching over her, as usual. You can go back home and rest," the nurse said.Hera smiled bravely. "Thank you, Sus. Please let me know if there's anything, and I'll stay here.""It's your choice. But you can go back home if you want, then I'll excuse myself," the nurse said and then went into Hera's mother's ward.Hera let the woman go to take care of her mother. This time, she sat back in her original position and bowed her head.Her mind returned to a piece of information she received yesterday

Hera opened her eyes instantly. She felt as if her body was shattered when she tried to move."Where am I?" Hera muttered softly.She tried to remember everything. After realizing something, it seemed that Hera chose to sit."Oh my, that night," Hera muttered suddenly.Yes, it could be said that it was a very unusual event for Hera. She was not unfamiliar with the activities in the bedroom around her, especially in New York. However, Hera had a principle to maintain her chastity until she got married. Because, she thought her chastity was the most beautiful crown for her future husband.But apparently, all of that disappeared in one night."It doesn't matter, anyway, I did it all for my mother," Hera muttered."I never do foreplay or the foreplay that many people do out there. It's because I'm impatient, and I don't care if my partner feels uncomfortable. Besides, they get their reward, whatever they want, I will grant it afterward."All those words echoed in Hera's mind until that mo

Hera is waiting for her mother's administrative details. Ah, of course, she feels so happy and eager to finish everything soon. She has also met with the Doctor who is taking care of her mother."I heard directly from the Doctor, if Mom is getting better, then I can take Mom back home," Hera murmured. She was even impatient to bring her mother back home.Hera smiled as she received a piece of paper there. She accepted it enthusiastically. Ah, finally, all the administrative details of her mother's hospitalization have been settled."Thank you," Hera murmured as she was about to get up from her seat, but suddenly she bumped into a Doctor who was walking towards her. Yes, they were walking in opposite directions, of course."Hera?"Feeling that the Doctor knew her, Hera immediately raised her head. Her eyes widened, "Thomas?"The man named Thomas smiled broadly, "Oh my, we meet here. How are you?"Hera smiled upon hearing that. Yes, Thomas was one of her old school friends. They seemed

Since Nick's presence in the room, their conversation continued until finally a ringtone from Sean's phone interrupted it.Sean sighed heavily as he read the name displayed on his phone screen at the moment.Eventually, Sean accepted the call."Yes, hello.""Ah, here's the one Mom has been waiting for since earlier. Are you so busy that it took you quite a while to answer this call?"Sean fell silent for a moment upon hearing that. He was sure that question was the main thing to be asked of him."Yes, I'm very busy.""But you can still chat with Nick apparently. Busy from where, do you mean?"Sean glanced at Nick instantly, and there Nick seemed to just chuckle as Sean looked at him sharply."Oh, come on. What's up? What do I have to do today?""Not much, just accompany Mom for lunch today. You can also bring someone, maybe a woman you want to introduce to Mom?""Alright, this time I'll choose the restaurant.""Oh, of course. Send the address to Mom."Sean immediately checked some res

Hera tried to shake off her awkwardness. For the past 30 minutes, she and Sean had been sitting in silence like this, facing each other.She didn't know why Sean had invited her to a restaurant in the afternoon, but Hera didn't dwell on it. In fact, she was grateful that Sean hadn't invited her to a hotel or something similar. She felt safe this time, she thought."Do you not like the food you ordered?" Sean asked suddenly, looking at Hera who had been visibly uneasy since earlier. Even when their food arrived, she still showed it quite clearly."No, of course everything is delicious. I just feel a bit awkward, sorry," Hera finally said honestly. Somehow, it felt difficult to lie to this man. His aura was strong and intimidating. Quite strange."Just relax. I just wanted to have my lunch, albeit late, but it doesn't matter. I happened to choose this restaurant because it's close to your workplace, right? So, I invited you along," Sean explained while continuing to enjoy his steak.Her

Hera hailed a taxi that had taken her to a skyscraper building.After paying the fare, she quickly got out of the taxi and appeared to be amazed by what she was seeing now."It seems he lives in one of the famous penthouses in New York," Hera murmured, looking incredibly impressed.Sean had told her that she could enter without contacting him first. This was because Hera had special access to enter the luxurious place, information she received from Sean when they met at the restaurant a while ago.Ping!Assisted by the elevator, Hera waited for the door to open. After a few moments, Sean appeared, wearing only a black hoodie and trousers. Somehow, he looked quite youthful in that attire, appearing fresher and younger."Why didn't you just come in? I told you, didn't I?" Sean asked Hera."It's okay, I'm still not used to it. But some people on the lower floors even offered to escort me here. I felt embarrassed and chose to decline," Hera said.Sean didn't respond to that. "Come in," he

Hera was looking around. As promised, they were waiting for Moly, Sean’s mother, who had said she would arrive shortly.“If she doesn’t show up in the next five minutes, we can leave and choose another restaurant for dinner,” Sean said impatiently.“Alright, but it hasn’t been five minutes yet, and we’ll still have dinner, won’t we?”That remark made both of them turn towards the voice. There stood Moly, accompanied by... Viola.Hera froze when she saw the beautiful woman, who had unexpectedly come with Moly that evening. Hera hadn't been informed of Viola’s presence.“Why are you here?” Sean asked, clearly displeased by Viola’s presence.“You should greet me kindly first. We could talk slowly about... our wedding,” Viola responded, glancing at Hera, who stood silently, looking both confused and upset.“Mom, I didn’t even ask you to invite her tonight,” Sean said to Moly.“Shh, enough. Let’s just get ready for dinner. I’m hungry, and you, sit down,” Moly said calmly.After the command

“No, stay there. I’ll get it for you.”Hera had been hearing these words from Sean all day. She still couldn’t quite believe how attentive Sean had become since learning about her pregnancy. To Hera, though, it seemed a bit excessive.“Sean, it’s just a few steps to get my phone. You’re overdoing it,” Hera said.Soon enough, Sean handed her the phone. “I told you, you didn’t have to do that.”Hera smiled and accepted the phone. “Thank you, but really, you’re going a bit overboard.”“It’s my duty,” Sean replied, sitting down beside her.The two began chatting, talking about different things.“How do you feel now that you know you’re pregnant?” Sean asked.“Just dizziness and nausea. That’s all I’ve been feeling so far,” Hera replied. But oddly enough, ever since she told Sean about her pregnancy and received his special attention, especially the gentle touches on her stomach, the dizziness and nausea she had been feeling for the past few days had disappeared. It felt like magic.“I’ve

Sean opened his eyes. He took a deep breath after realizing that he had been asleep.“Oh my, but it felt like I heard Hera saying that I already had it? Did she mean… a child?” Sean muttered to himself.However, when he looked beside him, he saw Hera fast asleep. Sean smiled softly as he came to his senses again. "Sean, it must have been just a dream. Look at you and Hera, you’ve both been sleeping soundly."Checking his phone, Sean saw that it was 3 a.m. As usual, he had woken up at this time. He decided to watch TV again.On the screen was a movie showing a couple kissing passionately. Sean, watching it, tried to hold himself back.“I’d better find another channel while I wait for my sleepiness to return,” Sean mumbled as he started flipping through the channels.Suddenly, his stomach signaled hunger. He sighed deeply and got up from his position.“It’s always like this,” Sean muttered, intending to cook something simple since he wasn’t much of a cook.The kitchen was well-stocked f

After her long conversation with Jessy ended, Hera decided to leave the bathroom. She still hadn’t seen Sean inside."Is he really angry about what happened?" Hera muttered to herself.For some reason, she felt uneasy about Sean. Maybe it was time to find him and apologize.Hera put on an outer garment that was available in the room before leaving. But before she could open the door, it suddenly opened on its own, and there was Sean, about to walk in.He looked at her, but then Hera smiled, "I was just about to look for you.""Go to sleep. It’s late, or are you hungry?" Sean asked.He walked in, followed by Hera. "No. I… I just wanted to apologize for what happened earlier. I think you're right; this is our honeymoon, and I didn’t need to bring up the contract.""It’s fine. I was just overreacting. I’m sorry," Sean replied more calmly this time. Somehow, he seemed very relaxed and at peace.Hera nodded. The situation felt awkward now. "Where did you go earlier?""Nowhere, just took in

Here was Hera, once again lying in her original position. She was even eating her dinner in the bedroom. However, that didn't make Sean angry or upset. Look, the man had been accompanying Hera all this time."Don’t you want to go out tonight?" Hera asked, turning toward Sean, who was watching TV. The man glanced at her for a moment before returning his gaze to the television."Go where?" Sean asked."For a walk, of course. You’ve come all this way, yet you’re just staying in the room," Hera replied."I'm already bored with everything around here, so what's the point of going for a walk?" Sean muttered instantly."Don’t you like the beach? Then, why did you bring me here if you’re already bored of this place?" Hera asked, puzzled.Sean placed the remote control beside him before looking at Hera. "You like the beach. I found out from your mother. I do like the beach, and I figured it would be nice to take you to the Maldives for our first honeymoon destination."Hera was silent for a mo
Serenade of Secrets 43
"Do you want to enjoy the beauty of this beach?" Sean asked suddenly after seeing Hera, who had just finished her activity in the bathroom.Actually, Hera felt dizzy at that moment, but it didn’t bother her too much. "Of course. It would be such a waste if we just stayed in the room after traveling so far to get here.""It’s not a waste. You can come here whenever you want," Sean replied, standing up. He stared at Hera, making her feel trapped under his gaze, unable to move on to her next activity."You could’ve waited for me outside. I just need to freshen up a bit," she started to say."You don’t need to put anything on. It’s just the two of us here. All my assistants are in one place, probably resting, so we won’t be disturbed," Sean interrupted.Hera was shocked. "What? Not put anything on? What do you mean?""Uh, you must be thinking something negative. Hey, I meant you don’t need to wear any makeup or anything like that," Sean clarified.Hera paused for a moment. "Actually, I di

This time, the journey was quite long. Hera had already anticipated that Sean would be busy with his work. But she was actually happy about it. It gave her a chance to relax and focus on her own thoughts.Look at that, Sean was still busy taking work calls. Even the plane they were supposed to board had been waiting for them for a while now, or so the assistant had informed Hera earlier."Are we going to miss the flight?" Hera mumbled to herself, just as Sean finished his call."Sorry to keep you waiting. Let’s go," Sean said as he grabbed Hera’s hand, which surprised her."Please, Mr. and Mrs. Everything is ready," said one of the house staff as they opened the car door for them."Thank you," Hera replied as she stepped inside, and then the door was closed.Sean looked at her as the car began to move, "You don’t need to thank them. It’s part of their job.""You’ve never thought about how nice it feels to be thanked after working all day. A simple thank you makes me feel appreciated f

Hera opened her eyes abruptly. She wasn’t sure what had caused her to wake up so suddenly. Her gaze was scanning her surroundings."My room. I just remembered that I'm staying at Mom’s house tonight," Hera muttered to herself.She paused for a moment when she heard a noise outside her room, recalling that her room was quite close to the kitchen."What’s that? I don’t think there are any rats in this house," Hera mumbled as she got up. She quickly walked out of her room.There, she saw a figure crouched over, looking at something in front of him. Hera let out a long sigh as she realized what was going on."Sorry, I forgot you were here too," Hera said, rubbing her face briefly before stepping out from her doorway.Hearing this, Sean turned to her and smiled before resuming his search. "Why are you awake?""I don't know, something woke me up suddenly. Plus, it's 2 AM," Hera replied as she approached Sean. The man was still in his position."What are you looking for?" Hera asked."Some i

After hearing the entire story from Thomas, Hera felt that the man still loved Viola. Yes, the beautiful woman he had always admired while they were still in that special relationship."But why doesn't he want to talk everything over with Viola first?" Hera muttered to herself, letting out a long sigh.At that moment, she was at her beloved home with Margaret. After her meeting with Thomas, Hera decided to visit Margaret, who was happily engaged in her gardening activities. At first, Hera wanted to help her mother, but the woman refused, saying she didn't want Hera to tire herself out."How are you, dear? I'm sorry for being so engrossed in gardening," Margaret said suddenly, sitting beside Hera."I'm very well, how about you, Mom?" Hera asked in return."I'm very good. In fact, I'm so happy because Sean brought a lot of flower seeds along with their plants. All of it is quite expensive, and he was willing to search for what I wanted," Margaret replied, looking pleased.Hearing this m
