Malisa's POV

Every piece of information I gather could be the key to understanding the dynamics at play.

I decide not to give up. I must find a way to approach Eric and get the information I need without raising his suspicions. This isn't just about protecting myself; it's also about protecting our family. I feel that the truth must come to light soon, and I am determined to seek it out, no matter what happens. The realization that Eric's past might have a significant impact on my life and Serena's drives me further. I must find all the pieces of this puzzle and assemble the complete picture.

I look at Mariana, trying to draw her attention back. "Mariana?" I ask, attempting to pull her out of her thoughts and demand the overdue answers.

"Yes, Ms. Malisa, sorry," she replies, as if just returning from a deep daydream. She seems reflective, as if thinking about something far beyond our conversation.

My curiosity gnaws at me again. I want to kno

    Malisa's POVMariana determined that Roby was the key player in this matter. The realization of how important he was left me feeling confused about where to search. However, I was confident I could find him through my other friends, especially those who had gone to school with us. It seemed unlikely that among all my schoolmates, none would have maintained contact with Roby.I began to think that at least one, if not more, of my friends must still be in touch with Roby. Perhaps they knew his whereabouts or even had his latest address. This information was crucial for my upcoming efforts. Yes, I needed to contact my friends one by one to keep this confidential and ensure my plan went smoothly.With a resolute determination, I opened my contacts list on my phone. The names there reminded me of various memories, both sweet and bitter. I began to formulate a plan to reach out to them, selecting those I thought would be most likely to help. Each message I compo

    Malisa's POV I quickly explained the situation I was facing. “I’m looking for Roby, and I’m having trouble getting information about him. I need your help to find out more, maybe through your friends or your network.”Mariana listened attentively, noting every detail I described. She has an incredible ability to connect people and find information in unexpected places. I felt relieved knowing that I wasn’t alone in this search.“Now you go to the place where I used to go to school. I will send you the address via text. Go to the operator and administration section to inquire about the student profile data from my cohort. You can focus on Roby's personal data,” I said in detail, ensuring all steps were clear. “Once you get that, you can trace his address and go there.”Mariana listened intently, absorbing every piece of information I offered. “Okay, Mrs. Malisa, I will carry out that task immediately,” she replied, ready to proceed. Her enthusiasm made

    Malisa's POV "You clearly wouldn't know Roby; when he was our neighbor here, you were still very young. Let me talk to the caller; give me the phone!" the mother said, asking to speak to me directly.It seemed her child had handed the phone to her. The mother's voice began to greet me on the line."Sorry, ma'am, are you indeed asking about Roby's whereabouts?" the middle-aged woman asked me."Yes, of course, ma'am. Sorry for disturbing your time with your family. Let me introduce myself, I’m Malisa," I said, starting to introduce myself.This straightforwardness made the atmosphere feel warmer. I could sense sincerity in her voice, and my hope rekindled. The woman paused for a moment, perhaps reminiscing about past memories related to Roby."Wait, your name sounds familiar. Are you one of those famous people in this country?" the middle-aged woman asked, as if trying to remember something."Oh, you must be mistaken. A name l

    Malisa's POV With full concentration, I continued my journey. The road felt familiar, and each second brought me closer to the long-awaited meeting. Finally, I arrived at my destination.Seeing his house, I was shocked. It was small and looked a bit shabby, far from my image of Roby's home. I couldn't believe my friend lived in a place like this. Memories of the past raced through my mind—how Roby was always cheerful and full of spirit, even though his situation now seemed different.I got out of the car and began walking toward his house. It looked inhabited, but it appeared neglected, making me feel a little disgusted. The peeling paint and the yard filled with weeds added to the gloomy impression. Strangely, the front door was wide open, revealing a messy interior.I tried calling Roby's name, but no one responded. The silence made me feel uncertain. "Roby!?" I called again, hoping my voice could stir him. However, only silence greeted me, fi

    Malisa's POV Mariana seemed more perceptive, and she asked, "What's wrong?" Her soft voice reminded me that I wasn’t alone. However, I remained silent, still caught up in my thoughts about the soft voice I had heard earlier. That voice echoed in my mind, making it hard to focus on the reality around me."Are you okay?" Mariana asked again, this time with a furrowed brow, indicating that she was starting to worry. Although I appreciated her concern and care, my reverie was shattered by her question. It felt as if every time I started to gather my thoughts, something pulled me back into emotional chaos.I shifted my gaze to the window, trying to find calm outside. The night was dark, illuminated only by dim starlight. Yet, despite the beauty of the view, my thoughts spiraled back to Serena and everything that had transpired. How could that voice have appeared, and was it real or merely a product of my deep feelings?Mariana didn’t give up. She moved clo

    Malisa’s POV This night was quite heavy for me, but after dialoguing with myself in the stillness of solitude, I began to find definite answers that came from within. I felt this decision was ripe. I would take Mariana's advice. Although I didn’t know what would happen between me and Eric moving forward, my inner self clearly said that I had to do it. After coming to a conclusion from my relatively brief reflection, I lay down on my bed. I felt a little relief and could breathe in the cool air. My chest slowly felt lighter, no longer tight. I closed my eyes very peacefully, allowing my mind to rest. I let myself drift into sleep for the remainder of the night. By early morning, I immediately contacted Mariana to meet me that very morning. I wanted to discuss the outcome of the decision I would make today. Mariana came, and we talked at length.

    Malisa's POV Doubt still lingered in my heart. "But what if this just leads to repeating the same mistakes? Am I really ready to face that possibility?"Mariana smiled slightly, looking at me with confidence. "Every decision carries risks, Ma'am. But if you feel there’s a chance for growth and change, it’s worth trying. No one can guarantee the outcome, but at least you’ll know you’ve made an effort. If not now, when?"I pondered Mariana’s words, struck by her insightful reasoning. "Yes, you’re right, but..." I said, still feeling uncertain about Eric."Enough, Ma'am Malisa. You can give him a chance. He’s just an ordinary human, like us. But it’s up to you, and the decision is yours," Mariana said with a smile.Hearing her words made me feel a bit more open. Perhaps it was indeed true that everyone deserves a second chance. Eric wasn’t a monster; he also had weaknesses and made mistakes. If I could forgive him, maybe I could also find a way

Initially, I just wanted to live my life peacefully, but now, I was trapped in a complicated and emotional conflict.Eric started it, and now I had to resolve it. In my mind, there was a mix of emotions. On one hand, I felt angry and disappointed that everything wasn’t going according to plan.

This had already happened, and whether I liked it or not, I had to get involved in a matter that clearly dragged me in.Every time I thought of Eric, there was a battle between hate and pity within me.

    Malisa’s POVI sighed heavily."I know, but sometimes I wonder if the right punishment can erase all this pain. Is there another way? Perhaps, behind all this, there are lessons to be learned, not just punishment."Mariana looked at me seriously. "Justice isn't just about punishment; it's also about the process of understanding and repairing. But sometimes, we must remember that actions have consequences. Whatever happens tomorrow, it will be part of our journey."I fell silent, contemplating Mariana's words. Perhaps she was right, but still, this feeling of uncertainty was hard to ignore. In that silence, I knew that whatever happened in tomorrow's hearing, my life and the lives of those around us would never be the same again."Mariana, I feel like there’s something weighing on my heart. It’s a feeling that’s hard to explain," I said, confused by my suddenly shifting emotions. "What is it, Ma'am? If you don’t mind, share it with me. Don’t hesitate if you want to share your story w

    Eric's POV Trying to maintain my composure, I attempted not to show my fear. "I'm here to serve my sentence," I replied softly, trying to convey that I didn't want to get involved in any conflict. They laughed, their voices filled with mockery. "A sentence? Here, we set the rules. You need to learn to respect your elders!" one of them said, moving closer in a menacing manner. I looked at them one by one, hoping to find at least one person who wasn't too bad and could befriend me. However, all the long-term inmates here appeared fierce and intolerant toward newcomers like me. Despair began to fill my mind, and I knew I had no choice but to accept this reality and situation. "Nice to meet you," said someone right in front of me before delivering a hard punch to my stomach. "Ouch," I exclaimed spontaneously, groaning in pain.

In my heart, I promised not to give up and to seek ways to rebuild my life, even though the challenges ahead were still great. As the door to the room opened and I took just two steps forward, I saw faces filled with joy, mocking my situation. Some even looked ready to spit in my direction. Feelings of shame and heartache washed over me, but the officer quickly shielded me, ensuring I didn’t receive mistreatment from the people I was passing. "Come on, pick up the pace!" the officer said, directing me to hurry. I nodded my head, signaling that I understood his instructions.
