After the incident at the meeting office yesterday morning, Franklin became increasingly anxious because his hatred for Clara was met with the girl's kindness. An expression of uncertainty appeared on his face. Throughout the day, before keeping his promise to meet Clara, Franklin spent time reflecting in his dark, unlit room.On a slightly bright afternoon, Franklin finally opened his bedroom door and came out. He walked a bit wearily as he passed through rooms in every corner of the house. His steps sounded like very clear knocks on the marble floor.The young man's steps halted when Mrs. Smith, sitting on the living room sofa, called his name. "Franklin, is there a problem? You haven't come out all day," said Mrs. Smith, then took a sip of the hot tea in front of her.Franklin smiled faintly at his mother. "Just a minor issue, I'm tired from being busy working yesterday," he answered in a low, flat voice.Mrs. Smith nodded. Her black eyes sharpened as she looked at Franklin at the
That afternoon, after the two had finished enjoying Clara's chocolate cake and had a cup of tea each, Franklin happily took Clara for a walk in the park near the town square. They didn't feel tired as they walked because of the bond they shared. There was only happiness in their hearts. There was occasional soreness in the legs, but the rapid beating of the heart and the smile on the sweetly decorated face made the pain disappear. The night breeze that hit Clara and Franklin's clothes and their hair, made the atmosphere more intimate and piercing in the soul. Clara smiled and wrapped her arms around Franklin. The girl showed comfort when she was around the young man beside her. The handshake grew tighter as if hoping Franklin wouldn't leave her again. There was hope that this was the beginning of a new happiness in their relationship. Franklin, despite smiling and talking sweetly to Clara, his heart was filled with plans for revenge. In the back of his mind, Franklin kept making pro
Charles sat alone in his living room chair reading the newspaper. The sound of car brakes being heard in front of the house made him stop what he was doing. He put the newspaper on the table. He rose to his feet and peered through the window. Outside there was a black car parked a few meters from his house. Charles squinted his eyes trying to see who they were clearly. DegInstantly Charles' heart skipped a beat, his breathing quickened slightly. Both of the man's pupils instantly rounded quite large at the sight in front of him. His gaze caught Clara who was walking slightly staggered due to sleepiness. That's not what made Charles chuckle, but when his gaze fell on Franklin who got out of the car and helped Clara out."Brother, I'm home!" Clara said a little shouting because her hands were not strong enough to knock on the door. Meanwhile, Franklin hurriedly got back into his car and quickly left the place. Soon, Charles opened the door wide. He frowned at Clara whose eyes looked
After meeting Farhan, Franklin decided to return home. He didn't return home for a few days and was sure that his mother was waiting. Must be knowing what questions his mother would ask him when he came home. Still, the man couldn't help but decide to go home and accept some of the scolding his mother would throw his way. "Are you going home soon?"The question made Franklin turn his head towards someone who was right in front of him. That someone was none other than Farhan. The man immediately asked when he saw Franklin had just put on his jacket and picked up the car keys that were on the table.With a nod of his head Franklin said, "Yes, I have to go home now after a few days of not going home."Farhan could only nod his head. Actually, the man wanted to prevent Franklin from leaving so that he could stay here and plan ahead. But the man also couldn't forbid Franklin to go home immediately, ending with Farhan who could only nod his head while saying, "Yes, be careful on the road.
In the morning Franklin, who was sleeping soundly, woke up when he suddenly heard repeated knocks on his bedroom door.His head felt dizzy from the shock. He then tried to sit up while staring at the door of his room which was still being knocked from outside.Franklin sighed, a little annoyed that his morning was disturbed by someone. But even so he knew who the person currently knocking on his door was, including none other than Vina if not his mother. Franklin was sure that it was one of the two of them who knocked repeatedly. Because there was no way the housemaid would knock like that. "Yes, wait a minute!" Franklin shouted because he was tired of hearing the knocking on his door.He lazily walked over to the door and opened it. Upon seeing who it was Franklin immediately let out a rough breath.Vina now smiled when she saw Franklin's annoyed look. She knew that her older brother must be feeling upset right now because of his actions. seeing the expression shown by Franklin, ma
In accordance with his mother's direction, Franklin inevitably decided to pick up Selena at the airport. The man immediately went to the car garage and got into one of the cars parked there. When Franklin was about to start the car, suddenly someone was seen rushing to him. That person was none other than his mother. Franklin sighed when he saw his mother. He didn't understand what his mother wanted anymore. Didn't his mother ask him to pick up Selena at the airport? But why did the middle-aged woman suddenly come to him? As if forbidding herself to leave.But if that was the case, of course she would feel happy because there was no intention of going to the airport and picking up Selena. "What's wrong, Mom?" asked Franklin once his mother was right beside the car. Franklin's mother gave him a smile and said, "Don't forget after you pick up Selena, take her on a tour of the city."Franklin frowned in confusion. Wouldn't that woman already know everything in this city? Considering
The car was traveling at a moderate speed. Selena was sitting next to the steering wheel occasionally glancing at Franklin who was currently focused on driving the car. Long enough not to meet the man, making Selena quite surprised to see him. The woman did not expect at all that the man who used to be mediocre was now very handsome.Selena unconsciously smiled, feeling happy to be with the man at this time. Having once had more feelings for Franklin, it was natural for the woman to be flowery now."What's wrong?" Apparently Franklin knew that Selena was secretly looking at him while smiling.Of course the man couldn't help but ask. It was enough to feel curious because Selena suddenly smiled. "Is there something wrong with me?" Franklin asked again.Selena quickly shook her head indicating that there was nothing wrong with Franklin. It's just that to say something makes the woman reluctant to do so. Franklin could only shake his head. The man really didn't understand what Selena wa
Franklin immediately turned his head when he heard someone's voice. He was so surprised when that someone was none other than Clara. The woman was currently looking at him with a questioning gaze. Needing an answer that the woman certainly wanted to expect. "Clara, who are you here with?" Instead of answering the question posed by Clara, Franklin asked back. Clara immediately frowned when she heard the question asked by Franklin. He should have answered her question instead of asking her back like this."I'm with my friend .. then who is this?" Clara pointed at Selena.Selena who was sitting in this chair looked confused at the woman who had just arrived. But the conversation between Franklin and the woman made Selena know that they must have a special relationship. Moreover, the woman's gaze looked unfriendly, indicating that the woman was currently jealous because Franklin was with another woman. Actually Selena did not believe that the man in front of her already had a lover. B
