The night opened with a drizzle. Every rintiknya hums a song of sadness wrapped in longing. In the dark and cold, silence creeps up, creeping up every wall, trapping Lewis who is alone in the middle of the room. That night he was accompanied only by a pack of cigarettes and a cup of black coffee that he brewed with his own hands. His gaze looked dazed, dreamy staring at the ceiling of the room. He is almost fourteen years old, but the man is still single, and has not yet had a life partner. He had spent dozens of years secretly loving a woman, then spent eight years in prison. And now, as soon as he gets out of prison, it turns out that life outside is no different from inside prison. Loneliness and smiles are still his closest friends.Lewis was eager to get married. Like humans in general, he also wants to have a life partner, a place to share the joys and sorrows of everyday life, a place to share love and affection. But unfortunately, Lewis only loves Alexia, never changing from t
Luna gulped when Lewis again questioned her arrival. "I just need someone to talk to, Lewis," he replied. "And I think you are the right person for me to talk to."Lewis's eyebrows furrowed further hearing Luna's statement. "Are you having a problem?" research it.Luna lowered her head. Even without him answering, Lewis should be able to understand. Without a significant problem, she would not necessarily meet a man who was not her husband that night."Is this about you and your husband?" Lewis asked again, starting to suspect.Luna's eyelids immediately lifted again. Every time someone brought up about her husband, her heart always rippled, not a rustle that made her flutter, but a rustle that ended in pain. Luna looked down again and she hoped that her gesture was enough to answer Lewis's question even though she knew Lewis would continue to demand an explanation."You had a fight with your husband?" guessed Lewis again."I ran away from him," Luna replied.Lewis was silent for a mo
After nearly two weeks of being hospitalized, Reza was finally allowed to go home by the doctor, but was not allowed to do many activities. Reza must undergo intensive treatment until the wound is completely healed."Shall we go home now, honey?" Reza asked Jesselyn who was tidying up her husband's belongings."Let's wait for Mama and Gritte first, bro. He said Mama and Gritte were already on their way, wanted to come here to pick us up," Jesselyn answered.Reza nodded his head. "Unfortunately, these past few days I have been thinking about something," Reza said a few minutes later."What is it, mas?" replied Jesselyn.“I keep thinking about Gritte. I'm worried for his safety. Especially with his current condition. I'm afraid he will take various actions to hurt himself or hurt the fetus in his womb, "explained Reza.Jesselyn was silent for a moment. In conditions like Gritte's, of course he had such thoughts. In fact, it was because of this thought that Jesselyn had previously decide
Jesselyn felt goosebumps as long as the teacher explained this. He really didn't think that the burden of thoughts and family problems that the child had to bear alone would actually lead him down a bad path. Jesselyn realized, the role of parents is very important in this matter."As parents, we feel very sad because it turned out that we couldn't supervise Aeron properly. Thanks for the advice dude. To be honest, I just found out about this. After this I will try to have a good talk with Aeron," Jesselyn replied.The teacher nodded. "It is highly recommended not to judge, OK? Because at that age, if you are yelled at, the child will become even more rebellious,” said the teacher again."Yes, Buck. I understand," Jesselyn said. "Thank you very much for everything, Mom," Jesselyn said again as she stood up followed by the teacher."Thank you very much for coming, mother," replied the teacher.Jesselyn smiled slightly, after that she left the room with Aeron's cell phone which the teac
Daniel took off his jacket. The man just came out of the meeting room, at this time he just wanted to relax his muscles by surfing on his cellphone screen. Daniel opened the gallery, looked again at the portraits of Jesselyn's body which he had secretly photographed touching her body a few weeks ago. Daniel smiled to himself seeing Jesselyn's beautiful body lying helplessly naked, which became fantasy material for Daniel every time he missed his ex-girlfriend. She would use the photo as a weapon to paralyze Jesselyn later, when the time came.Chalk..!There was a sudden creak of the door being opened. Daniel flinched as soon as someone entered his room without knocking or asking permission first. Daniel was even more shocked when he saw that someone turned out to be Alexia, his wife who rarely came to the office. Daniel hastily hides his cellphone in his own trouser pocket and stands with a sneer at Alexia."Why do you just wear a stick in, anyway? It's like you don't know any manners
For the umpteenth time, Reza looked back at his wife staring blankly. Like that morning, Jesselyn was watering the plants but her gaze was everywhere. The gaze seemed unfocused on one point, as if there was something Jesselyn was thinking about, which Reza had never known before. Reza approached his wife and hugged Jesselyn from behind. The action seemed to make Jesselyn a little surprised. Reza was increasingly convinced that Jesselyn was thinking about something earlier."Why did you come out? Mas Reza is still sick, just rest inside, Mas," Jesselyn said softly to her husband."You know I'm not someone who likes to keep quiet in the room, Sayang," replied Reza gently.Jesselyn turned her body to face her husband. "But the doctor advised Mas to get a lot of rest, so that he can recover quickly. Nadira and I really didn't want to see Mas lying in a coma like that time. I really can't imagine what it would be like if I didn't have Mas in my life," Jesselyn said with a sad look.Reza re
Daniel smiled a little sarcastically, Reza did not know that Daniel's intention to visit him at that time was not just because he wanted to visit, but Daniel had other intentions to meet Reza's wife, who was none other than Jesselyn. Of course, Reza didn't know that Daniel had raped his wife while she lay helpless in the hospital."Oh yes, does Mr. Daniel have any work or plans tonight?" Reza again interrupted Daniel's reverie.“Eh… Hmmm…” Daniel seemed to remember his schedule that night. "No way, sir. So what, sir?" replied Daniel.“If Mr. Daniel is not busy, I plan to invite Mr. Daniel and his family to have dinner at my house. After all, Nadira kept asking Keenan, he said he wants to play with Keenan, "explained Reza with a chuckle at the end of his sentence."Oh I see. Wow, I am very flattered to hear the invitation from Pak Reza and his family. Surely Keenan will also be very pleased, sir. Keenan often asks about his friends at the hospital, hahaha.” Daniel also chimed in with a
ten years later"Luke, it's time for school!" the sound of knocking on the door plus the screams of her mother in the room made a girl named Luke Dalton squirm a little. He yawned a little but didn't sit up. He even changed the position of the pillow looking for the most comfortable support for his head with his eyes still closed.“Luke!!” luckily Pooja as a mother already understood the behavior of her only son. Pooja couldn't wait for Luke to wake up on his own. She quickly opened a desk drawer to get a spare key and broke into her son's room to force him to wake up."Mom, don't just barge into my room like that, you're destroying my privacy." Luke still protested a little as he entered the bathroom."To hell with your privacy when you have to go to school, Luke!" Pooja chuckled lightly. He opened his son's bed and then chose a uniform for Luke today. He also looked at his son's schedule and picked up a book.“Mom, I can do it myself. Until when will you treat me like a child?” Luke
Aurellie bit her lip. "Anrez is not like that?""So?""I can't ask you to reconcile with Luke." Aurellie let go of Anrez's embrace."Why can't you ask me?"Aurellie looked down. “You guys must have your reasons. I don't want to make things difficult for you."“You know that you are very important to me, right? I'm willing to drop my pride in front of Luke to ask you. Do you want to see me do it now?”Aurellie shook her head. “Anrez, don't, please!”"Honestly, he led me to meet you." Anrez stroked Aurellie's cheek. Aurellie stared at Anrez in disbelief. The man nodded his head reassuringly to Aurelie."how could that be?" Aurellie asked, not understanding Luke's thoughts. Anrez shrugged his shoulders."The proof he sent me a message where you are." Anrez showed Aurellie his cellphone. "So, are you willing to come back to me?"“Oh, Anrez?” Aurellie said covering her mouth.“Oh dear, you have confused me. Come on, explain what that means oh, that Anrez?” clicked Anrez. "Let's say it clea
"Because you're my brother," said Aurellie.Luke spat out his curse. “Could you stop using that word?”Aurellie chuckled. “Luke, I am happy to have you as my sibling. I'm glad you took care of me. If you don't like Anrez, then I'll give up my story.”"You don't need to threaten me."“Our family has been divided for years. our parents got together but we didn't. I really want to complete my story, Luke. If given a choice, I would prefer you."Luke closed his eyes with anger again. “Damn it! You're a master at making me give up. Let's go inside the house!” Luke said avoiding Aurellie. The woman chuckled.“Luke!” said Aurellie still trying to chase Luke. Luke was in the house again which made Pooja smile a little."You always manage to persuade Luke, Aurellie," Pooja chuckled, pinching the woman's cheek.“Caroline, you don't need to worry Luke has prepared a ring for you. He will propose to you soon,” said Caroline who managed to make Luke glare at her. Luke is really annoyed with Aureli
Luke almost swore. "Are you with me huh? Five years ago, Caroline also didn't want to show her bare face. Stop acting and open the door because Anrez doesn't care whether you're ugly or beautiful. Do you intend to get back in touch with him?” growled Luke nearly kicking the door. "Aurellie, if you still don't move, I'll make sure I call your parents.""Let me arrange my body for a moment," said Aurellie. After that, Aurellie left the room and showed her face to Luke. Luke exhaled."Fifteen minutes," said the man. Aurellie nodded her head.***"Hey. Caroline, I heard you had a boyfriend but never showed it to us. Were you just lying all this time?” Donna spoke to him as they made their way home to meet in the elevator. Caroline raised her eyebrows."I am not lying. He's busy.""Oh yes? What are you busy with?” Donna asked doubting Caroline's words."singer."Donna laughed. "Surely he's an unsuccessful jobless man.""No. He's a famous musician."Donna showed a sneer even more. "You're a
Even though he is already a celebrity, Anrez has never moved around. He still sees Sean and some of his other partners with whom he usually gets into trouble. the place is full of noise full of women in Zarel's apartment. But Anrez looked so unmotivated. He was when Sean was able to start a new life after breaking up with Abigail, the same thing didn't happen to Anrez. He still loves Aurellie just like before. There has never been another woman after Aurellie."Anrez," a girl approached him inviting Anrez to get acquainted as usual but Anrez was not at all interested."Why don't you join the others?""I'm not interested," Anrez said matter-of-factly."Hey Donna, Anrez can't be bothered." Peter told Donna to tell her to leave instead of ending up disappointed."Is it because of his work as a celebrity?" Donna asked looking at Anrez.Peter shook his head. "No, he doesn't like being disturbed." Donna exhaled. He stood away from Anrez. Now Anrez's life is full of doubts. He hardly ever fe
Aurellie shook her head. “You must act according to your wishes. Even if you regret it you will still treat the same thing, right?”Luke nodded his head. "I'm sorry," Luke told him."Its, okay! I just need time to get it back to normal. I'm not mad at you, Luke. I only regret my actions that were too selfish to make my parents disappointed. Besides I got you and Anrez in trouble. That is it."Luke exhaled. "Don't forget your breakfast. My mom has contacted me last night to inform you of your whereabouts but she didn't tell me about your situation.""Thanks for helping me keep it a secret, Luke," said Aurellie.***five years laterBugh! Bugh! The sound of clashes in the non-soundproof room was heard to the point of almost creating chaos. Very noisy. Their mentor immediately ran towards the source of the sound. The blow was definitely not from one person. But from all the single men who were placed in the dormitory."Can't you guys get along just one day?" tana mentor is very embarrass
Aurellie was at a nightclub when Caroline called him. The two of them were so drunk that it made Luke chuckle seeing his lover and hers sister who had messed up together. Aurellie's condition was the worst. Caroline still had enough consciousness to take control of the situation. His sanity hasn't mixed much with alcohol yet."Oh! You always make trouble for me, Aurellie." Luke came to meet the two people. Caroline was unable to lift Aurelie's body alone. He needs help. "And why did you let him get drunk, Carol? Don't you know he can't stand alcohol?" squeaked Luke.Caroline pursed her lips. "I'm sorry. Aurellie was very frustrated when she broke up with Anrez."Luke exhaled. "I can't take him home. His mother must be sad." Luke thought hard. He brought the two staggering people back to his house, not Agler's. He's using Caroline's car."Luke, did something happen to Aurellie?" asked Pooja who saw her step daughter."Mom, can you keep her condition a secret from her parents?" he asked
Aurellie entered her residence who was led by Carlos followed by Abigail without a fight. Inside the house stood Agler and his wife. Aurellie bit her inner lip. He realized that he had disappointed his parents. Aurellie knew he would get the consequences of his actions. But compared to herself, she was more concerned about Abigail. He felt Abigail had to be saved from this incident as an innocent victim.“Dad, I admit everything except the Abigail thing. Really! I forced Abigail to be quiet. I even threatened Abigail with the secret she has.” Aurellie made a sound looking at her parents.Agler rubbed his face roughly. He was clearly disappointed with Aurellie. "Enough!" he said to Aurelie for the first time. He had never been so mad at Aurelie before. His breath hunted. Aurellie immediately shrank his guts. He had never gotten a look like that from his father.“Aurellie, are you aware of what you are doing?” asked Jesselyn also voiced. The two of them didn't snap at Aurellie, there wa
The days went on as usual after that night. they started well with their respective circumstances. Luke is also busy studying because he dreams of getting into a top university while Caroline is doing exercises for her rhythmic gymnastics. Everyone does activities with their own goals. There are also relaxed ones like Polo. Some of them are busy with romance like Sean and Abigail.The awaited day arrived. Everyone made it through their semester with their own memories. Currently, they are having a party at Polo's house. Just for fun.Caroline came through the crowd smiling broadly at Luke. "Did you miss me?" Caroline asked him because Caroline had to be out of town for a few days following the Olympics."A little," Luke said sparingly as usual.Caroline frowned. He showed Luke his medal. Luke clucked. "Didn't I tell you that you would get it."Caroline nodded her head. "I worked hard for my prize."Luke frowned. "Didn't you receive your medal?" Luke pretended to forget their agreement
“Mom, Aurellie told me about your father-in-law's death anniversary. Do we have to attend it?” that was Luke's question a few hours ago that had made Pooja freeze. The woman remembered the kindness of Mr. Davidson. Pooja is still a daughter-in-law in the house. She has not officially divorced from Agler. The woman hesitated for a long time until Pooja finally breathed out.Now here they are. In front of the Agler house that Pooja can't say is hers anymore. Agler immediately opened the door. He smiled happily. "Darling, you're finally here," Agler said smiling."In honor of your father," whispered Pooja thinly. Pooja sat down with Luke. Jesselyn glanced at him. They don't talk. Of course, what do they need to talk about when they both love Agler in the condition that the man needs support. Pooja, who loved Agler when he was a useless man, while Jesselyn, who loved Pooja when he was a useless man."How was your day at school, son?" Agler tries to bond with his son when they're the only
