“I fought them once, but it was no use. They attacked me more and more, cornering me until I could no longer do anything but remain silent. I don't want to get into big trouble that would allow someone to find out my real identity," said Kiara saying something.Brian just listened while driving.“I didn't want to cause trouble for my family, so I decided to hide my true identity, only the school knew. If my data was leaked and people knew who I was, that would be a disaster," explained Kiara.Brian is still listening.“Whether it's good or not, I have to survive without interference. Unfortunately, those who acted seemed to be daring me to take action, so in the end, I couldn't hold back and attacked them. There was a sense of satisfaction in me at that time,” admitted Kiara with a smile on her face."And what happened?" Brian asked.“Yeah, what else? I was summoned and punished but they only got a light punishment because their parents came to make amends for a mistake that should no
Brian and Alessia's attention was focused on Kiara, who still didn't care. Meanwhile, the girl who greeted Kiara roughly sighed in disbelief. From the girl's appearance, Brian knew that she was not an ordinary girl.“Hey Stupid Kiara, you're deaf, aren't you?” said the girl while laughing mockingly.Kiara remained silent but her hands were tightly clenched. The girl tried not to get carried away by her emotions.Brian and Alessia were still paying attention to Kiara,- and noticed the girl standing near their table. Not just one person, but apparently with his friends.“Wow, you're so stupid, aren't you, Kiara? You're even dating an old man haha," said the girl and then laughed, followed by her friend.Kiara remained silent, and so did Brian. As someone with experience in such matters, Brian knew when to answer.Brian glanced at Alessia, speaking through his eyes, and the girl nodded.The girl with long brown hair approached Kiara, pushed Kiara's shoulder roughly, and blocked her.“I h
After dinner, Kiara and Alessia chose to just go home because they were tired and told Brian to stop by the mini market or if they were passing by an ice cream shop, buy some first, even if it was just for the two of them."What do you want to taste?" asked Brian, who complied with Kiara's request as he passed an ice cream shop on the side of the road.“Something fresh. I want vanilla," Kiara answered."How about you?" Brian glanced at Alessia who was sitting beside him.“I'll go down and buy it myself. Do you mind being here alone, Kiara?” Alessia asked, turning towards the girl who was leaning her back."Yes, no. I'm too lazy to walk, so you can buy it," said the girl without taking her eyes off her cell phone screen."OK. Wait here for a moment."Kiara just nodded her head and Alessia got out of the car followed by Brian.They did eat dessert at the restaurant earlier, but Brian wanted to keep his promise to Kiara who wanted ice cream earlier.The ice cream shop was quite busy with
They went to their respective rooms. Kiara looks very happy. Even though their meeting only happened yesterday, in just a few hours they have become so close, could there be something underlying it?The little girl happily walked towards the empty room near Alessia's room downstairs. Brian has allowed Kiara to be free at home but there are still limits.Kiara doesn't know anything about Brian, about the house he lives in, the vehicles Brian owns, and what Brian does. Kiara and Brian both have secrets, but the most secret is Alessia's job. The girl was present between them as an intermediary and guardian for Brian and Kiara who unexpectedly entered Brian's life so quickly.Indeed, time doesn't always go according to plan, no matter how perfect the plan, there will always be unexpected changes. That's what happened to Brian's fate line, whose identity is still a secret.“You're going to let him stay here?” asked Alessia who was walking beside Brian.The man nodded. A black backpack hung
Ben nodded his head at Brian who was following in line. The man was on the other side of the line Brian, while beside him were Leon and Selena who were still catching their breath."What's this?" Brian asked while whispering to Leon."The commissioner's sudden visit," Leon answered in a whisper.Brian's brow furrowed.“Commissioner's Visit? Does it suddenly happen like this often?" asked Brian again."It is not specified when and at what time. The security team will notify you within twenty-five minutes," Leon answered again.“That short?” Brian was surprised."Yes. It's normal. The Commissioner is king in this company. A sudden visit like this is nothing to complain about. But maybe it could be a sudden employee evaluation. I don't know what might happen this time," explained Leon again.Brian just nodded his head. The arrival of commissioners is commonplace, whether sudden or scheduled. But, do you know if Brian has to queue to greet him?Not only Ben's team,- but also other teams t
Brian's forehead furrowed and his eyes narrowed. This meeting was not so foreign to Brian who was trying to remember where he had met this man. The closer he got, the stronger Brian felt it. The man's authority and dense aura were truly familiar.“Shiny black loafers with a brown wooden stick. Isn't he—"Brian immediately raised his face to coincide with the figure who had arrived in front of Brian.Shiny black loafers, a cane, and a black suit. His figure exudes authority even though his face cannot be seen. However, this time Brian could see his face. A sharp, eagle-like gaze behind his minus glasses. His hair was starting to turn white, and even though his skin was starting to wrinkle, his figure still looked very fit.Brian froze in place as he finally remembered where he had experienced this.In dreams!In the dream, Brian was faced with the
"You're not happy?" Sean glanced at Brian from where he was standing at the side of the elevator.Brian met Sean's gaze. There was nothing Brian could say because after all Brian didn't know whether to be happy or not to meet someone who Brian never imagined would have such a big influence on him.Recalling the meeting with the commissioner, for some reason Brian felt hatred and longing in his chest. What does that mean?"Why are you silent?" Sean asked.This time Brian looked up and looked at Sean."Should I be happy if the meeting makes my chest hurt?" Brian answered coldly.However, Sean smiled. Brian looked at him confused."What is so funny?" Brian asked."Nothing. But, you haven't been formal with me all this time, right, Brian?" Sean said as if reminding Brian.Brian's eyes blinked, remembering again.Why can't Brian speak politely like Ben and the others, even though Sean's position is higher than the others? Sean is the commissioner's right-hand man,- and the founder of a lar
The two of them entered a room big enough for Brian.Still following Sean from behind, Brian's attention was only focused straight ahead, on the figure who was the ruler of the room. The man is a commissioner who is the leader of this large company.Brian didn't say anything, but somehow he felt a little disturbed."I'm back, Sir," said Sean in a reporting tone.The figure sitting at the glass table looked up from the table and his gaze fell on Brin who was still standing behind Sean.Sean moved to the side giving his boss a chance to see Brian.A faint smile appeared on the lips of Arnold Kentinx, the leader of the Kents Group who was dreamed of by many people, including Brian."Welcome," said Arnold to Brian, who was still silent in his place.Brian could see the longing look radiating from him. Brian could recognize that look, it looked happy. However, Brian didn't understand what all this meant."Hello," said Brian as politely as possible even though there was a surge of hatred in
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.
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
