Malisa's POV

I actually thought that Eric and Roby might be quite similar in character. My thoughts suddenly scattered, and I began to remember something more important. I immediately thought to call Mariana to schedule a meeting tonight at my house. I would start to share my suspicions with her, hoping she could provide insights on my temporary analysis and perhaps offer a solution to all of this.

After a day filled with activities and trying to seek clarity, I finally arrived home feeling exhausted. My mind and body felt worn out from everything that had happened. Reluctantly, I collapsed onto the soft sofa, hoping to rest a little before Mariana arrived. While waiting, I turned on the television, looking for some entertainment to distract me from all that weighed on my mind.

Since that major incident, I felt a bit traumatized by social media. Every time I opened the apps, it felt like facing an increasing pressure. My social media feeds seemed to turn

    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 Every word I said opened the door to a deeper understanding of the situation I was facing. That moment felt important, not just for me, but also for strengthening the bond between us. With every detail I shared, I began to feel that I was not alone in facing all of this, and that there was hope at the end of the road. Mariana responded firmly, "Yes, this is no longer an indication; it's clear they have conspired for all of this. I'm sure from the beginning, they had ill intentions toward you. I think their motive is wealth, or more precisely, money and shares." Her words were filled with conviction, highlighting the seriousness of the situation I was facing.I paused for a moment, reflecting on what she had just said. All the details I had revealed now seemed clear in my mind. Eric and Lina's actions were not just coincidences; there was a deeper plan behind all of this. Anger and helplessness welled up inside me, and I felt the need to take the next

    Malisa's POV I glanced at the curtains in my room, noticing the light reflecting off the fabric. I felt it was already morning or perhaps noon, given the blinding brightness. Yes, I thought it was too late for me to still be in bed. I must have slept deeply last night.I quickly looked at the clock, and sure enough, it was very late. Startled, I jumped out of bed and headed straight for the bathroom. I felt a bit uncomfortable, especially since I hadn’t had a chance to shower the night before. The cold water hitting my skin provided the refreshing sensation I desperately needed.While showering, I tried to shake off the lingering drowsiness and fatigue clouding my mind. Each drop of water seemed to awaken a new spirit within me. As I scrubbed my body and washed my hair, I felt all the burdens I carried slowly dissipate.Once I finished in the bathroom, I grabbed my phone to check for any messages or missed calls. But this time, there was none—very unu

    Malisa's POV It turned out I had slept all day. When I woke up, I didn't remember anything about my troubles or the things I had been waiting for. Confusion washed over me, but the hunger quickly reminded me to move. I got out of bed and headed to the kitchen, hoping to find something to fill my empty stomach.Upon reaching the kitchen, I opened the fridge and found some cake inside. The cake looked tempting, and without a second thought, I took a generous portion. My stomach rejoiced as I took a bite, savoring each sweet and soft morsel. However, just as I was finishing the last piece, I suddenly remembered something more important.Yes, the important news I had been waiting for—Mariana's update about Roby. Panic set in, and without thinking twice, I dashed back to my room. My feet moved quickly, as if propelled by a strong urge to find out. In my mind, various scenarios spun: had Mariana found Roby? Was there any positive development?Inside the roo

    Malisa’s POV After I finished the call with Mariana, I looked back at Roby. It turned out he was still engrossed in eating and seemed far from finished with his hunger. He looked so ravenous, devouring each bite with enthusiasm. Seeing him like that made me wonder if he had only just seen food today.His strange behavior only piqued my curiosity further. His face showed deep exhaustion, and every time he lifted his spoon, there was a kind of hunger reflex he couldn’t hide. It was as if the food in front of him was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.I observed how he chewed, as if he wanted to savor every bite fully. Inside, I felt mixed emotions, on one hand, I was relieved to see him eat heartily, but on the other hand, I worried about what he had been through. Experiences that might have made him feel disconnected from the comfort and warmth of home.As Roby continued eating, I remembered how important physical and emotional care is in situa

    Malisa’s POV I waited in front of him, watching every bite he took. Roby ate very eagerly, and even though I knew it was good for him, my patience began to wear thin. Finally, after a while, there were only two bites left when he suddenly burped.Annoyance started to gnaw at my mind. He kept adding to his portion, and I felt as if time was moving very slowly. Meanwhile, my own stomach was beginning to rumble from waiting, but I still tried to be patient. In my heart, I was determined to listen to his story carefully.All the aches and discomfort I felt seemed worth it for my desire to get information from him. Although waiting was tiring, I knew this moment was very important for Roby. He needed support, and I wanted to ensure he knew I was here for him, no matter how long it took.When Roby finally finished his last bite, I felt a slight sense of relief. Now it was time to listen to the story that had caused him so much distress. My curiosity and con

    Malisa’s POV "Debt?" I thought, increasingly confused by Roby's story."Yes, debt. Since Eric no longer lived here with you, he was living off me. Not just living here, but I was also covering all his needs and expenses. It was really annoying, and he seemed to have no intention of being independent without my help," Roby elaborated, explaining everything that made him upset with Eric.Roby looked frustrated as he recalled all the sacrifices he had made. "I gave him a place to stay and helped him meet his daily needs. However, every time I hoped he could stand on his own two feet, he would come back asking for help. It felt like all my efforts were in vain. He doesn’t appreciate everything I’ve given him."Roby's feelings of anger and heartache became clearer. He felt trapped in a situation where he had to constantly help someone who should be able to stand on his own. "When Eric asked for money again for Serena's hospital bills, I felt like he was ju

    Malisa’s POV I was sure this was an expression of Roby's true feelings. This time, I felt like I wouldn't fall into his trap or trap. Even though I knew that Roby was very manipulative and could repeat his bad plans against me, I felt that he wasn't pretending at this time. I needed to trust Roby's words more, but I still had to be careful. There was a possibility that he would stab me in the middle of the road and take advantage of this situation for his own benefit, harming me in the process. My feelings were mixed. On one hand, I felt sympathy for what Roby was going through, but on the other hand, there was a suspicion that was gnawing at my mind. Roby had the ability to manipulate words and situations, making it difficult to fully trust him. Even so, I couldn't ignore the concern that arose from his story. I had to stay alert, maintain emotional distance, and not get caught up in the games he might be playing. In this situation, it was import

    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. She understood my thought process and had empathy for the feelings within me. Finally, we began to handle everything according to my wishes

    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

    Malisa’s POVClearly, I felt sad because the current situation regarding this conflict did not align with my hopes and expectations. Everything felt far from what I had imagined. 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. Yet, on the other hand, I also felt this was a responsibility I had to bear. 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. He might be responsible for many problems, but I couldn't ignore the fact that he was also a human being struggling. The dream about Serena deepened my doubts, as if urging me to consider various possibilities that I had never wanted before.I kn

    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

    Malisa's POVEverything feels strange and very odd. Seeing the closeness between Eric and Lina is truly unnatural.

    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. The pain shook my body, and I had to bend over to lessen the impact of the sudden attack. The laughter from the other inmates filled the air, adding to the sh

    Eric's POV As we walked, I tried to reflect on everything that had happened. Thoughts about the future, about how I could rectify my mistakes, began to fill my mind. Although it felt very heavy right now, I realized there were lessons to be learned from all of this. I followed the officer, trying to stay focused on the next step. 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. With quick steps, I tried to ignore the voices around me, even though every lau

    Eric's POV As the trial proceeded, I tried to focus, listening to every question and statement made. However, my thoughts always returned to Malisa and Roby, wondering how they were feeling about all of this. I wanted to fix everything, but I knew this journey wouldn't be easy. The trial process went relatively smoothly, although there was a bit of chaos midway. The atmosphere became tense, but I tried to stay focused. Among the crowd present, Malisa's gaze was directed at me. The sparkle in her eyes hinted at feelings I could interpret, but could not express. Anxiety washed over me as I sensed something strange in her stare. I felt that she still harbored feelings of love and affection for me, despite the vast distance this situation had created between us. That look reminded me of the beautiful memories we once shared, when everything felt simpler and full of hope. Now, we were in such a different place, and everything felt so foreign. I didn't know how long this situation woul

The police officer was ready to escort me to the courtroom, affirming that all of this was a step toward accountability."Are you ready, Mr. Eric?" the officer asked as he turned to me."Yes, I’m ready," I replied, taking a deep breath to calm myself before facing what was to come. My eyes looked straight ahead, trying to ignore the anxiety that clouded my mind."Alright, let’s go!" the officer said, signaling for me to follow his lead. We walked down the cold, empty hallway, our footsteps echoing against the walls. Each step felt heavy, carrying the weight of regret and fear of what would happen in the courtroom.The courtroom was getting closer, and my heart raced.
