"It's been a while since I visited this place," Richard thought as he stopped in front of a house he used to visit occasionally, though not in the past year.Rachel had recently visited him instead, so it had been weeks since his last visit here. Standing by the monochrome-themed entrance, he glanced at Smith, who was waiting by his side for instructions on whether to enter with him or remain outside. "I won't be long; stay here," Richard said.Smith nodded respectfully. "Yes, sir."Richard stepped inside, greeted by one of the house attendants who led him to the living room where Brad and Wilona were seated.The couple immediately stood up in surprise upon seeing Richard. "Goodness, Mr. Richard. Why didn't you let us know you were coming?" Brad asked awkwardly, reaching out his hand to shake Richard's.Richard smiled faintly, shaking his hand. "Why would I need to? Am I not welcome here without notice? Should I leave now?" he replied, turning the question back in a way that made them
After leaving Rachel's house Richard returned to his schedule to meet Naomi. He had originally postponed it, but now rescheduled their meeting through Smith."Did you arrange it?" he got into his car while glancing at the front where Smith was.Smith nodded his head, as soon as he was informed he immediately rescheduled their meeting again. But this time in a different place, Smith chose a more private place to be careful. He was worried that the incident would happen again and put Richard in a bad mood.Richard was not a moody person, quick to change his mood and quick to decide. He wasn't usually like that, but lately maybe because there were so many things going on, he was a little tired."I didn't arrange a dinner together at xxx restaurant for this meeting, and Miss Naomi agreed sir." he reported it more clearly.While Naomi herself did not complain much, she knew Richard was a busy man so meeting him was a difficult thing. She didn't mind at all if they had to reschedule the mee
Naomi was back at her lodgings in a hotel near the city center. Behold, the 5-star. She appeared on the balcony of her room wearing her nightgown.The woman stood leaning on the balcony divider while holding a glass filled with wine. She shook the contents of the glass and then sipped slowly. Her mind was reminded of Richard, whom she had met earlier. Somehow, she felt familiar with Richard.When she saw his figure, she remembered someone she knew, someone whose existence could no longer be found."He looks similar to Kevin," Naomi muttered while gazing at the tall buildings with their bright lights.The sight of the hotel was sentimental and romantic at the same time, the glow of the lights and the small dots below moving beautifully. Unfortunately, she had such a beautiful time alone, without any friends to accompany her.Maybe her life would have been more enjoyable if Kevin had been around. She had no friends, and the only person she felt close to and compatible with was Kevin. Bu
After walking around and spending time together, they went home. Richard drove Rachel back to her house and sat there to enjoy their time together a little longer."Do you want to see the painting from yesterday? I finished it." Edith, who had led Richard to her room, took his hand and directed him to sit there.Sent was sitting on one of the sofas in Rachel's room, nodding his head with a smile. "Yes, I want to see it."Rachel then smiled, releasing her hand from Richard's grip. She moved away cheerfully.While Richard, sitting there at the moment, was staring at the whole room, he noticed everything displayed there and for him to make it look interesting. His room and Rachel's room were different; if Richard's room tended to be filled with various books and monochrome colors, Rachel's room seemed the opposite.Everything there seemed brighter, with a strong and soft female charm. Some objects displayed were paintings, not paintings, but decorations in the form of flowers and everyth
It's been three weeks since Richard and Rachel decided to get married, and their relationship grows stronger every day. They are not only a couple planning to build a household together but also a solid team facing all challenges.Richard has taught Rachel many things, especially how to understand how other people behave in her social circle. For Richard, being selective is important, and he believes that Rachel needs to surround herself with people who support her, not just those who want to take advantage of her situation.Many people tried to get close to Rachel, trying to find opportunities to benefit from being her friend. Rachel is now wiser in choosing her friends. She knows some people want to approach her because of her status as Richard's soon-to-be wife. Interestingly, Rachel also occasionally uses Richard's name in certain conversations or situations, a strategy that benefits her social circle and shows how close and supportive they are of each other."So, how did they res
The state of the waves that appeared in front of their eyes was currently in a severe situation; the wind continued to blow strongly, and the seaweed that previously seemed calm was now moving with high waves that continued to hit the shoreline repeatedly.Viewed from a certain angle, the sea waves seemed to hit the cliffs with such force that the sound could be heard roaring.From one of the buildings, James stared angrily at the angry sea. "Why is this happening again? How can this happen again to Richard?" he looked worriedly at the thought of his son's unknown whereabouts.It had been two days since it happened, and they still hadn't gotten a clear location of Richard's whereabouts, nor had they gotten any news from the man saying that he was in good condition."Is it possible that someone is after him again and planning to do something to him?" James' anxiety grew.In his old age, he became increasingly anxious whenever Richard's condition was unknown. Moreover, this was not just
Several days passed, and by this time, Richard had woken up from his period of unconsciousness, yes seemingly following Alexa, a woman who took care of him while he was in his sick state, who was also the daughter of the healer who helped him in the healing process."So, what is it?" Richard pointed at a clamshell that the woman was cleaning and decorating.Alexa's hand held the sizable shell and showed it to him. "This is a clam shell. Haven't you ever seen one?" she looked at Richard's face with a puzzled frown. "Didn't you ever know?"Richard stared dazedly, then shook his head. "I'm not sure. But it looks pretty." he took it from Alexa's hand with a smile.Alexa looked at him with a question in her mind. She wondered if it was possible for someone to not recognize something at all. Even though Richard was awake at the moment, she was still worried about Richard's condition. The man seemed so healthy and fine he had been able to interact normally, but there were many things he didn
Alexa welcomed her father who had just returned from visiting one of the sick villagers. That day her father returned quite late in the afternoon after he and Richard had done a lot of work together and even prepared dinner for the three of them.After helping Alexa Richard was seen sitting at the simple dining table chair, in the room with the healer who helped to heal her. They seemed to be talking, discussing small matters about the village and what they were doing."So how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?" the healer and the man who was Alexa's father, a man named Sam, looked at him kindly.Richard nodded his head, responding quite calmly while arranging the cutlery on the table. "Yes, I feel better.""Does it still hurt quite a bit when you try to remember things?" she reassured.Richard nodded his head, he did feel a throbbing pain in his head when he tried to remember things. When he remembered why he was there and why he couldn't remember about himself at all or when h
