"Still not sorry for me?" asked Edgar, his blue eyes looking at Elissa. He was now driving while Elissa sat beside him. And she was still silent. Elissa did not look at Edgar at all. Instead of answering with a nod, she was as still as a statue given life.

"OK, fine. If you still don't forgive me, I won't go home," Edgar continued.

Elissa looked at her husband. "Why?"

"Like you said. That's your house, not mine. There's not a single drop of my money there. So if the owner evicts me, why would I live there."

Elissa blinked. She looked back at the deserted street. Who knew where Edgar was taking her? "Are you still angry?" she asked.

Edgar was surprised by Elissa's question. "Hem... what do I know? I'm still angry. I'm not a robot that can be repeatedly hurt without feeling anything. It's just that ...." Edgar raised his right hand. He folded all his fingers except his ring finger. "The ring you wear on my finger always says our marriage is not fake. It's real, just like my love for you

    It's always been like this. From then until now. Edgar thought there would always be obstacles if you wanted to kiss her. He was annoyed.But what can be made? Destiny is not something he can control. It's okay. There are still many other opportunities. The game at the night market is not just one. The critical thing for Edgar is not ...."You're not afraid of ghosts, are you?" Elissa asked suddenly. She looked at her husband.Edgar pointed at himself. "Me? No. I'm afraid of you. You're scary when you're angry."Elissa smiled. She saw a hint of doubt in Edgar's eyes. "Are you not afraid?" she asked once again.Edgar shook his head confidently. "I told you I'm only afraid of you getting angry and not forgiving me. I used to be an adventurer. I'm not afraid of ghosts. I even climbed the mountain at night," said Edgar proudly."Okay. We're heading there now!" Elissa pointed to a large haunted house at the corner of the night market."Are you serious?" asked Edgar.Elissa turned her head.

    "Don't keep bumping into the road!" protested Elissa. She could not stand Edgar's feet, which repeatedly tripped over her feet. Elissa looked back. She immediately sighed. "If you walk, keep your eyes open!" she continued."What if there are ghosts?" refused Edgar."Do you choose to open your eyes, or do I leave you alone?" said Elissa, increasingly annoyed at her husband's behavior."There's a ghost !"Elissa tried to force Edgar's eyes open. She wanted to bring a tape to keep Edgar's eyes open. The problem is that Elissa repeatedly forced Edgar to wake up; indeed, the end was closed again. Or Lissaher, only the white part of Edgar's eyes were visible. His eyeballs hide. Edgar deliberately did not want to see anything."Open up!" Elissa shouted impatiently. How could she walk but keep getting kicked by Edgar's feet? It was uncomfortable.With her taekwondo style, Elissa quickly released Edgar's embrace. Edgar, who felt that his embrace had been broken, immediately opened his eyes. He

    "Are you sure you can hit it?" challenged Elissa."If I can hit it, give me a kiss!" Edgar challenged back."I don't want to," refused Elissa."You don't dare? Haha, you're a coward!" scolded Edgar."Okay. But if you can't hit it, I'll slam you. How about it?"Edgar's blossoming smile was instantly replaced with a sullen mouth curve."How? Do you dare?"Edgar exhaled. "Well, don't do that either. I'm still your husband even though we're not living together."The game owner could only tilt his forehead uncomprehendingly. He couldn't understand how a husband and wife were separated but still seemed to get along. Instead of trying to understand more, the game owner ignored it and served other patrons."If you don't dare, the kiss is gone."Edgar pursed his lips. In his hand was still one ball, and five were in front of him. The target cans before him were still intact, and no balls had been thrown."Okay. Oh yeah, by the way, do you want some candy?" asked Edgar to change the topic."Whe

After two days of patience, he had finally returned to his old self.Without waiting any longer, Edgar stripped off everything he was wearing. He also took his clothes that were affected by the eel earlier to the washing machine.Elissa was tidying up the gifts from the night market. Edgar grabbed her from behind. He kissed Elissa's nape.Elissa closed her eyes. This touch, the touch she missed so much.Edgar smiled. He did not feel any rejection. Slowly, he moved his hand, slipping in and embracing his wife. And when Edgar's hands perfectly clasped Elissa's body, Elissa suddenly pulled away."Please, don't!" prevented Elissa when Edgar was about to take off her clothes.Edgar needed help understanding. He thought she looked so happy at the night market. Even Edgar now only wore underwear. He had taken off his shirt and pants. He looked at Elissa, demanding an answer."I just wa

    "What brings you here?" asked Fritz coldly. His hand held a revolver. At the other end was a mannequin with Edgar's picture. Fritz fired repeatedly, and none of his shots missed. All of them hit the head on the forehead. Even when Fritz's subordinates flew balloons printed with Edgar's face, Fritz's shots still hit the flying balloons. Araf was astonished to see it. Why did he repeatedly fail if it was confirmed that Fritz always tried to kill Edgar? Even now, Fritz's face was also battered. His jaw was still lumpy from being hit by the chair that Edgar threw last night."I want to negotiate!" Araf said.Fritz immediately faced to the right, to where Araf was standing. His hand quickly pointed the revolver at Araf's forehead. "If you want to prevent me from killing that blue-eyed bastard, don't expect me to grant it!"Araf smiled. He lowered Fritz's revolver and aimed it at the left heart. "Shoot me now! I'm willing to prevent you from killing my best friend. But only if the price I o

They could live happily ever after, and Elissa could still enjoy his single life until now."You're not with Balqis?" asked Elissa.Mustafidz shook his head. "She and Afkar are traveling with my in-laws. And you're not with Edgar?" he asked back.Elissa took a sip of her drink. The corner of her eye stole a glance at Mustafidz. She wanted to see what Balqis was thinking until she chose Mustafidz over Edgar. She was also curious about how her friend could live happily with Mustafidz and forget Edgar.Mustafidz could have been more handsome. According to Elissa, Edgar was more attractive than him.

    Elissa opened the window of her room. She was pretty disturbed by the noise coming from outside. She wanted to find out who was laughing this early in the morning."Throw that one, Gar! That's big!" commanded Desmond.Elissa was even more curious. She, who had looked up from the shutters, could see her father under the mango tree.Elissa's forehead wrinkled. She heard her father calling Edgar's name. But she did not see any other figure besides her father below. She looked toward the tree. And how surprised she was to see Edgar up in the tree."Morning!" greeted Edgar when he saw Elissa."What are you doing up there? You'll fall!" Elissa warned.Edgar just smiled. One hand picked up a mango. "Catch it!" he said, throwing a mango into Elissa's room. Elissa was surprised, but she quickly caught the mango that Edgar had thrown."You climbed up just to get this?" asked Elissa."It's called climbing a mango tree, so I got a mango. There's no way I'll climb a mango tree and get gold," Edgar

Her hand was holding something. And how shocked Ira was to see Elissa looking at her photo with Edgar. The image was taken when they were just married—Edgar with his genuine smile and Elissa with her carefree attitude.Ira sat next to her daughter. She touched Elissa's shoulder and hugged her."Can I ask you a question, Mom?" Elissa asked."Anything, dear. As long as I know the answer, I will answer.""Why can you forgive Daddy so easily? Especially since you saw it yourself when Daddy was ...." Elissa did not continue her words. She should have clarified what was already evident."Nothing in this world is perfect, dear.

    Although Edgar didn't know what Hunter had promised Fritz, Edgar tried to remain calm. He wasn't going to stay undercover forever. Besides, the police and Desmond's security forces would soon arrive. Edgar only needed to find Elissa.Edgar watched every shape of the building. The building before him was a fairytale palace with towering towers and still black bricks. The structure was dominated by Greek architecture. Or even all of them had Greek flavor. Only one is not—the two date palms planted before the palace gate. According to Edgar, Fritz seemed to want to combine the two concepts of the princess kidnapped by the dragon and the princess from Aladdin's fairy tale."So, where is the gift you promised?" asked Fritz.Edgar was still calm. "You invited me all the way here just to collect a promise. You didn't serve me food first?""Oh right. Let's eat first while talking."Edgar laughed. "It's been a while since we talked together, right?""Yeah. But if you don't bring that gift, you

    "What about Elissa, Bhim?" asked Edgar when Bhima finally visited the hospital.Edgar could now do anything. The doctor also advised him to start taking small steps. Fortunately, the fracture wasn't too severe, so the recovery period was also expected to be short."That's why I came to see you, Young Master. Today we'll be heading to Fritz's private island," Bhima reported."Tell me where it is!" he ordered."Sorry, Young Master. But I'm only here to tell you that. I'm not allowed to tell you the details.""Bhima. Where do you think I'm going? My leg still hasn't healed. My chest still hurts because my ribs still haven't healed.

    Elissa knocked on Tory's room. She already had a plan to get out of here. What mattered to her now was that Fritz didn't always fixate on her."Miss Queen?" asked Tory in disbelief.She smiled. She hurriedly entered and locked the door. She didn't want the bodyguard Fritz had sent to follow her into Tory's room. No one should know her plan.During the night, Elissa thought about several possibilities. Although there was still a possibility of failure and the success Lissae depended on Tory herself, this was the only way she could think of for now. Elissa did not want to be confined here forever. Even though all her needs and luxurious things were fulfilled on this island, she still wanted to be with Edgar."What does Miss Elissa want? Do you want me to check on you again? Does Mr. Fritz want it?""I want to get straight to the point. Do you really love Fritz?"Tory's face turned red again. She also covered her face with her hands again.

    Edgar kept thinking about something while lost in the forest and walking without direction. Why did all this happen? Edgar continued translating everything that happened until he realized that what Elissa said was true. Araf had planned something.Without a plan, there would be no climb to Rinjani. Without Araf planning it, there was no way Naia would suddenly be kind to Elissa. Naia would have preferred Elissa to be exhausted and unable to reach the summit. With Araf planning it, Mika would bring a particular mountain communication device and contact Fritz directly.Edgar only realized it after he repeatedly fainted from falling into the ravine. He regretted being so trusting of one person.Araf was speechless. No matter how neatly he prepared his plan, it would be revealed someday. Like a buried carcass, one day, it will leave an odor. Edgar is not a fool; he must have realized it quickly."I'm sorry. I had dark eyes. I thought you would never be happy with Elissa. I thought she wou

    Bhima took off his mask. His hands were bruised. He was tired of beating so many people. The members under him were the same. They sat with their legs bent, resting. This day was already the fifth base they visited, but there was no sign of Fritz. Not even one of Fritz's men knew where his boss was."Check if there are any clues. I want to check Fritz's room one more time!" Bhima said.It had been almost a week since he went around looking for where Fritz was. He only found Elissa's picture in all the buildings he came across. And the headquarters in San Francisco was the same. There was nothing that stood out. Fritz's seat even looked like a regular office.Bhima entered Fritz's room once again. He looked around. Everything was a mess. Fritz's desk had also been destroyed. Cabinets, walls, and even the ceiling had been broken. But there was nothing suspicious. Everything inside was always the same. It only contained clothes and trinkets.Bhima lifted the cupboard that he had knocked

    Ira continued Desmond's struggle. She started to meet the people behind Fritz. Ira was fed up with just being a behind-the-scenes supporter. She was also fed up that her son was now in Fritz's hands, and no one knew where she was. Only Bhima could track her down, which might take a long time.Ira contacted her acquaintances. She asked for help to collect any evidence of Fritz's crimes. Ira also has a hacker acquaintance. She needed information from an authority and digital data about Fritz's financial statements. If Ira's suspicions were correct, Fritz should never have paid taxes."Where are we going, ma'am?" the driver asked."We're meeting this person!" said Ira as she showed the photo and sent the address to the car's direction system."Are you sure, ma'am? He's nothing more than a deceitful loan shark.""There is no more time. Edgar needs Elissa and she needs to be by his side. If this man is still with Fritz, our efforts will have been in vain," Ira explained.From all the repor

Araf and Jef, who joined the forest and combed the river, had come out. They found no one.The drones that detect body heat also did not get any response. The helicopter boarded by the SAR team also came up empty. Those up there using binoculars with body tempeElissare tracking lenses also found nothing.Rumors that wild animals might have eaten Edgar grew. It seemed impossible that they could not find Edgar, even though the equipment was as complete as this.Mustafidz and Balqis bit their lips. They looked at each other, unable to believe the news they were hearing. The couple knew very well that Edgar had experienced climbing a mountain. He couldn't disappear.Mustafidz immediately gathered all his family and students in the dormitory. They immediately prayed together for Edgar.On the other hand, Sindi, who was visiting the orphanage that Edgar u

    Edgar fell. His legs were no longer strong enough to walk. No matter where he went, he couldn't find water. Edgar sat down. He leaned against a tree. He took the bottle of mineral water that was left. He opened it slowly and drank a little. He didn't know when he would get out of this wilderness.Edgar knew that if he got lost on the mountain, the fastest way to return was to return to the top. But in his current condition, that was not possible. It was also impossible for him to return to the path he used yesterday to climb to the top.Edgar didn't know how long he had been here. He also needed to find out what day it was. The last thing he remembered was chasing after Elissa, who Fritz had brought. Edgar hoped that Elissa would be okay.Edgar took a breath. He picked at the young leaves beside him—the easiest way to have a little energy. There were only 500 milliliters of mineral water left in his bag.

    "Is this really Edgar's shirt?" asked Jef.Araf nodded. He couldn't have forgotten that Edgar loved the soccer team with the blue shirt. He also loved the number 9. Even though this shirt was torn and covered in blood, there was still the name 'GAR' written on the back of the shirt."Is he still alive?" asked Araf in a trembling tone.This shirt was already tattered. Its shape was also out of the body. When Araf was resting and drinking, he saw this shirt stuck on a tree."The possibility is still 50:50. This shirt got stuck on the tree because maybe a monkey carried it. Unfortunately, there are still blood stains on this shirt, which means Edgar was injured," Jef explained.He reported his findings. Simultaneously, the search began to center around the river and the landslide. The sound of flying drones and helicopters could be heard. Drones began combing again, looking for Edgar's body heat from a height of 20 meters. Meanwhile, helicopters began to monitor from a high altitude."I
