With an expression she still couldn't control, Citra returned to meet the parents at the dining table.This time, Citra showed no resistance whatsoever. She didn't even pull away, clearly allowing Martin to hold her hand.Seeing Martin and Citra return with their hands intertwined made everyone at the dining table throw incredulous looks their way.The behavior of both was completely difficult for all eyes there to believe."Mom... Dad..." Martin called out with a beaming face.Meanwhile, Citra seemed resigned, frozen without being able to say anything more."Wait? You two? How come you're back with... a relationship that seems different from before," Mrs. Merry blurted out, realizing how her daughter, who had been opposing her all this time, suddenly turned silent in an instant.A smile again carved widely on Martin's face, as if that alone could already answer their questions right now."Citra just needed guidance and constructive words so that her ego could be controlled by her. No

Ethan returned to work in his office as usual, as one of his employees in the office entered with a document in his hand. A long sigh came out of Ethan's mouth as he realized his work would increase now. Tring! An incoming message notification sounded on his cell phone, again the message came from a number that Ethan did not save in his contacts. However, even though the number was indeed not saved, Ethan already knew who the owner of the phone number was. [Good morning, Mr. Ethan. How are you? Are you sure you don't want to see your sister soon?]Between being sure or not, Ethan was confused about how else to respond. On the other hand, he seemed to be waiting for the truth about the information on the whereabouts of his sister from his former lover who was working with him. However, as soon as he saw the phone number, Ethan felt anxious, afraid that he would not have another chance to meet his sister, if he did not immediately respond to her. "What are you thinking again, Et

Ethan seemed to be in a hurry, putting on the jacket hanging behind his bedroom door with quick movements. The look on his face was so happy, he couldn't wait to meet his sister. Earlier, exactly 5 minutes ago when Ethan had just arrived home and had just washed his face to get rid of the fatigue and sleepiness that had invaded him, a message notification came to his cell phone. [Come here. Your sister is here]The short message from an unknown number was Ethan's guess as to where the sender of the message was from. A smile spread across his face, he was happy that he would soon be able to meet his brother. The image where Ethan could again look at that loving face was imagined in his head, impatient to immediately hug the body that had been separated from him for a long time. Ethan felt a little relieved when he knew the woman kept her promise. "I have to hurry up and leave. I can't wait to meet her," Ethan muttered with a scattered look on his face. To hell with the figure o

Citra let out a long sigh. She could only lament that her cell phone had now changed hands from her. "As long as you and Martin have not officially tied the knot, I will confiscate your cell phone," said Mrs. Merry to her only child. A long sigh escaped her mouth. She could only close her eyes, letting her mother's bad attitude envelop her. The hurt that Citra now felt from her parents' attitude was seared into her heart. She was no longer able to show her good behavior at all. Even just making small talk, getting words out of her mouth was not something she wanted to do anymore. "Tonight is the right dinner with Martin. Don't let you make Mama feel embarrassed again. It's enough that you made a mess last night but not today and the next few days," Mrs. Merry reminded the woman. Citra chose to cover her ears, nodding her head in reply to the words from the woman's mouth. Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the woman's room, it turned out that the aunt who worked i

Amel kept her mouth shut. She didn't know how to answer the man."Amel?"Ethan's call succeeded in snapping the girl out of her reverie. She then focused her gaze on the man."What is it, Bro?" Amel asked reflexively.Inwardly, Amel cursed the words that came out of her mouth. She shouldn't have asked such a question.It would make her look suspicious in front of the man."Do you know Richard?" Ethan asked again.A slight suspicion was clearly felt by the man. He seemed to be harboring something that was difficult to explain in words as well.A second later, Amel quickly shook her head, indicating to Ethan that she also didn't know about the question the man had asked."No. I don't know who you're talking about now, Bro. You know yourself that I've just moved to this place. I still haven't made any friends here," Amel said, trying not to look suspicious.Ethan agreed with what Amel said. What Amel said was true, it wasn't possible for her to know new people, let alone Richard.How cou
