Morning has replaced night. Brian woke up from his deep sleep with the help of medicine. Even though he has not fully recovered, his body condition is getting better. Brian got up and sat on the sofa. His gaze wandered around the quiet living room.

The lights had been turned off, only the bright morning light was visible through the clear glass walls.

"Good morning."

Brian turned to where the voice came from. Alessia smiled at him, for some reason seeing that smile made Brian uncomfortable. I don't know where the girl came from. Alessia suddenly appeared out of nowhere, or maybe Brian didn't hear the footsteps.

"Morning," Brian answered a little lazily.

Seeing a girl's smile somehow made him a little nauseous. Maybe Clarissa used to smile warmly at him, even a little if she wanted to, and that was proven.

Brian turned his face away from Alessia who was still standing where she was.

"What time is it," Brian muttered as he looked for the clock.

"Five minutes past seven," said Alessia wi

    “Of course, I will,” Brian said.Alessia didn't understand.“I'm just going to make the most of this opportunity. Repaying them as late as possible while doing all the things that are my dreams and proving to them that poor people like me also have the opportunity and luck to enjoy life like them," he explained in a confident and firm tone.Brian's eyes flashed with enthusiasm. He was confident that he could hit back at the despicable and humble words people had thrown at him previously. He will walk confidently from now on and continue walking for his dreams.“And I will prove to Clarissa that a pathetic man like me will be much better after being dumped in such a humiliating way. I will repay her slowly until the girl regrets throwing me away."What Brian said looked very serious, especially with his sharp eyes as if he was ready to fight. But Brian will

    "See you later. I'll contact you soon," said Alessia before Brian opened the car door."Okay. I'll wait. See you later," answered Brian.People started crowding around the car. Some are closer, some admire from a distance, and there are even quite a few who focus on just showing off.Brian knows the campus residents very well, half of whom live in luxury. One in four is common, and one in each place is fine. Those who saw Brian's car were rich people.The door slowly opened. Brian tried to ignore the sound of people screaming. He had to leave and go to class or be late again and not be able to attend class.Dare yourself. Brian took a deep breath and lowered one leg, followed by the other. Finally, Brian was able to show them that the person in the car was himself, someone they often underestimated.“Isn't that Brian? That poor Business Administration k

    "Good. Today's class is over. See you in the next class. Hope you stay healthy and don't give up." Professor Kailla closed her class at exactly three in the afternoon.Brian packed his things and put them in his backpack. Someone approached him again and asked the same thing that Xino asked. Only this time not in a sarcastic tone or other insults.“There are five owners of the Eagle car. And all five of them are rich people. How can you have it? You are great, Brian.” The man inserted praise into every word of his admiration for the Eagle car, the car that Brian now owns.Even though every word the man spoke was full of flattery and praise, in contrast to the glint in his eyes, it was clear that the man was a sycophant.Brian took his backpack and got up from sitting. Lingering in class with various questions about his Eagle luxury car made Brian uncomfortable."Excuse me. I can't explain anything," said Brian and then left.Not just in class. Outside the classroom, many people were

    What could Alessia possibly tell Brian about his true identity? Who is that girl?“That… what do you want to know?” Alessia looked nervous. The girl avoided Brian's gaze."About you. Where are you from? What education did you take, and what is your useless life story," said Brian in a questioning tone.Alessia was still silent, seeming to think about giving a definite answer to the man in front of her. The man who saved her life and provided a place to stay for Alessia.“I was born in Rephile,- and grew up there until middle school. Then I moved to Bephile to continue my studies because I got a scholarship from Miz High School. After that I became unemployed, working odd jobs, and my life had no direction. That's how it is.” Alessia tried to smile, but it seemed like she couldn't tell the story of her life.Brian listened quietly. In his mind, the man imagined the two names of the cities that Alessia had mentioned. Rephile is a village in Morphile Country. Bephile is the name of the c

    Alessia returned not long after and sat in her chair. Brian looked at the girl who was watching him."There's another incoming message from him," said Brian while showing his cellphone screen which was still showing the message."What did he say? Alessia is interested to know.“He will give the following instructions tomorrow. The missions I have to carry out have a time limit, a maximum of three days for difficult missions," explained Brian."Good grief. Very short," commented Alessia.Brian just shrugged his shoulders and put his cell phone back in his trouser pocket. The waiter came to bring dessert for them.As soon as the waiter left, Brian immediately ate the vanilla dessert he ordered. Luckily there was already sweet food on the table so Brian wasn't too annoyed because the sender of the message kept who he was a secret.“He asked me to play hide and seek. Okay. I will find out who you are.” Brian muttered as he put piece after piece of cake into his mouth because he was so ann

    Brian didn't say anything in the car Alessia was driving. Even though they were having fun shopping, their meeting with Clarissa was enough to ruin Brian's mood.Alessia also didn't say anything but focused on the road in front of her. Nature had turned dark, a black sky stretched out above with twinkling stars decorating it even though there was no moon.Busy street at night. Apart from many people just coming home from work, young people like Brian usually have fun at night. Go to a club or just hang out at a restaurant or cafe. There were quite a few walking in the park but most were in pairs. The sight seemed to mock Brian who turned his gaze to his side.Brian watched Alesia driving quietly beside him. The girl was just silent,- as if she didn't have any questions for Brian.“Why don't you ask? I know a woman is usually curious about what happened or who we just met," said Brian, starting the conversation.Alessia glanced at him briefly only to show a small smile.“I don't think

    The minutes passed so slowly for Brian who waited for night to turn into morning. His mind was focused on a box that might be on the living room table the next morning.Brian lay on his bed while focusing his gaze on the ceiling of the room. After dinner with Alessia who cooks instant noodles topped with eggs, sausage, and onions.“You are still pathetic.” Brian flinched slightly when what Clarissa said suddenly crossed his mind.Brian had forgotten about his meeting with Clarissa at the mall that afternoon. Alessia managed to divert his attention from the incident by telling him new things that Brian might not have known. The girl asked Brian for permission to plant something in the backyard. Of course, Brian allowed it because that way Alessia wouldn't be bored at home.However, Calrissa made him feel worse than before. What Brian got was none other than what Clarissa did by seducing a very rich man. The difference is, that Brian doesn't know anything.“He didn't know anything about

    For a long time, he was silent in the room with his reflection in the mirror. The big event finally took place tonight, at one of the five-star hotels owned by the Kent Group. Brian looked at his reflection in the mirror. Everything was ready, and he looked perfect in a navy suit, Brian let his hair a little messy to make an impression, after all, that was his style. His watch was on, and so were his shoes."Let's go, Young Master," said Kiara, peeking at Brian from behind his bedroom door. The girl's smile always seduced him.Brian turned around,- and nodded.Kiara welcomed Brian, hugged the man's arm affectionately, and even laughed happily as she walked down the stairs in a long-sleeved, knee-length navy dress, just like Brian. Manda didn't want her daughter to show off her curves so she designed a dress that was closed but elegant. Kiara looked like a princess with her black hair neatly styled and decorated with beautiful hairpins.Everyone was waiting for him in the living room.

    163. The Effect of Sorry

    Is everything finished now? I don't think so. There were still disturbing feelings in Brian's heart.“Even so, I remained by his side. Because honestly, I liked Miles the first time I saw him. But, he was cold,- and didn't care about the meeting at all. I know that he has someone he loves. Jealousy got the best of me, making me think of crazy things to separate them."Brian's heart ached when he heard Miles' confession. How bad is jealousy if it gets out of control? Is it that difficult to endure, and get rid of that feeling of jealousy? Brian didn't know, but it was something everyone had.“Miles didn't know anything, neither did Chintia, and I was the one who separated them. For some reason, I wanted to meet you,- and say this. To be honest, the feeling of guilt after Miles died in an accident because of my uncle made me unable to calm down. Then, I heard a rumor that Miles had a child. Of course, the child wasn't with me, because Miles never touched me.”A feeling of relief envelop

    Seeing that the girl was busy, Brian's thoughts began to wander, and his heartbeat increased even more. For the first time, Brian felt such a strong urge within himself."Is that okay?" Brian asked in his heart.Occasionally the man glanced at Alessia's smiling face. He still seemed happy because Sean already had a girlfriend, which meant Alessia would have a sister-in-law. Brian doesn't understand, but Brian seems to have to admit that Sean is great,- and unexpected. Even though they had often been together, they had never seen a man with a woman."They're not dressed." Brian blinked his eyelids even more.What is the meaning of that thought?"I am done. Would you like a snack tonight?” Alessia offered while drying her hands and looking at Brian who remained silent.For some reason, the lighting behind the girl became dazzling, making Alessia even more charming. Are the hormones in Brian's body active? Oh, wherever Brian is, he doesn't seem to feel any hormonal fluctuations.“Bryan?”

    After Azil conveyed this to Brian, Brian's doubts about his father shook his heart, but he couldn't change his decision. For several days, Brian decided to stay in the house that Miles gave him. Arnold didn't mind it either because Brian needed to calm down.That question filled Brian's mind and heart again. What was his father's reason for sleeping with another woman? Is it still appropriate for Brian to call Miles his father? I don't know, Brian doubts it.The house is still the same because someone always comes to clean. Brian also comes occasionally. Brian won't be able to leave that house, maybe one day he will decide there, rather than Arnold's big house.“I will prepare for tonight. Do you want something?" Alessia asked as usual. The girl also accompanied Brian."Whatever you cook," Brian answered.Alessia just nodded and went to the kitchen to make dinner.For several days together at home, Brian was just silent, occasionally reviewing material for his campus trial which would

    "I don't believe it. Brother Miles can't do something embarrassing like that. He must have been framed. That's right, he must have been framed," said Manda hysterically, not believing what she saw.Brian couldn't say anything, neither did Azil, even Liam who tried to calm Manda."Who's he?" Brian finally asked.But Azil was silent and shook his head."Jenifer, you may have heard of it," Liam said in response to Brian's question.Brian's eyes moved, the woman who had an arranged marriage with Miles but was rejected,- was close to Brian's father,- and was involved in Miles' accident.Brian didn't say anything now,- and cupped his face with his palms. Closed his eyes, let the clear and salty liquid fall from his eyelids, and cried silently. Brian's heart ached, why could this happen? His poor mother.Manda is still crying regretting her ignorance in the past. What happened, whether true or otherwise? Brian doesn't know, but now the question is why his mother left after trying to survive

    “You can continue, don't mind Manda. We will still listen even if it hurts,” Liam said to Azil.Even though he was a little hesitant, seeing Brian waiting made Azil nod his head.“I insisted not to ask what the reason was. But, I secretly went back to town to find out,- and also told Miles. However, what do I get? Just hate and hurt when I see Miles with a woman, even though he looks so happy," said Azil.Azil's facial expression changed to anger, but that was only for a moment. After taking a deep breath, we continued the story.“I came back,- but didn't say anything to Sis Chintia. However, I understand the reason for making a sudden decision, and not even explaining anything. The heartache of being betrayed by a woman is like the end of everything. I understood Sis Chintia's decision,- and decided to leave, even hide. Sis Chintia probably thought that by disappearing, Miles would be happy.""That's not true," muttered Manda. “We have never been happier since then,” he continued, so

    "So, I think it's time for you to find out what happened to your mother," said Azil.Brian automatically straightened up when he heard Azil involve his mother in the story he was going to tell."Mother?" Brian assured Azil that he had heard correctly."Yes, your mother, Chintia," repeated Azil, looking at Brian. "I came to tell you the reason why Sis Chintia chose to leave your father and hide herself," continued the man.Brian's eyelids moved slowly. When Brian started to no longer want to know about the past, and the reasons why his mother chose to give up after maintaining the relationship with all her might. But when Brian tried not to care, and decided not to know, someone came, claiming to know the reason."What has happened?" Brian asked in a weak voice.Brian's chest was now rumbling, there was a feeling of tightness touching his chest. What might Brian have heard from Azil about his mother making secret decisions?Azil sighed, focusing his gaze on Brian who was waiting to hea

    Brian's busy life is always the same, studying, practicing, and working. Spending time doing many things doesn't make him feel bored, the man is enthusiastic about continuing. If no one reminded him to rest, Brian would drown in his busy life.Alessia is like a living alarm for Brian, the girl reminds Brian when it's time to rest, have lunch or dinner, and when he should go to bed early and wake up. Even though the distance between them has now widened, attention and affection have never diminished, on the contrary.That afternoon Brian had just come out of Arnold's study which he usually used for studying. A text message came to Brian's cell phone.[I came to visit, are you free?]Ask for a text message from Azil.Brian immediately responded with a telephone call,- and asked if Uncle Azil would come.“Yes, I came to visit,” answered Azil.“Where is Uncle now? I'll pick you up," said Brian."No need. "I've arrived," said Azil."Here?" Brian turned around and looked for his uncle."Yes

    Brian threw himself on the living room sofa, there was no one there. Brian was tired even though he didn't do much work."Being the center of attention is tiring," Brian muttered with a sigh."Why?"Brian turned to where the voice came from. Manda appeared out of nowhere with a jar of snacks in her hand,- and a cup of drink that was still steaming. The afternoon is perfect for spending time with a cup of warm drink.Straightened his body and sat down. Brian watched his aunt put cups and jars on the table and then looked at Brian.“What are you mumbling about, Brian?” Manda asked curiously.However, Brian was silent and Manda did not demand that Brian say it."You have to be able to handle it," said Manda after taking the television remote and changing the channel. "When it's finished, you'll get used to it, and after that maybe you won't care," continued Manda as if he knew what Brian was muttering.If Manda knows, why ask? Brian thought his aunt's attitude was a little strange.“I'm
