Amel hung her head, the dim light in the room making her feel dizzy for a moment.

She hadn't eaten a single grain of rice all day, not because they hadn't offered her food, but because she had always refused the guards' offers.

"It would be better if I died here. I don't want to be with them anymore. I just want to die!"

Amel shouted loudly, her mind feeling pressured by it all.

She still didn't understand why she had to endure such inappropriate treatment, what did that man really want?

If only everything could be redone, Amel would ask Ethan to leave with her and not get involved with all of them.

To hell with their lives, but the most important thing was that she and Ethan could live in peace.

"How did everything end up like this?"

Various questions arose in Amel's head, feeling so pressured by it all.

Her head was noisy, screaming at everything that made her feel like she couldn't do anything anymore.

She didn't even know if it was morning, afternoon or night. Her room was complet

    The next morning, Citra woke up from her bed as usual.Citra's life right now was far from recovered and good, as the woman wasn't growing in her career like before, but instead chose to confine herself in her cousin's apartment.Knock! Knock!A knock was heard on her bedroom door, and without needing to ask, Citra already knew who was behind that door."The door's unlocked," Citra said briefly, ignoring the creaking sound from the door.Currently, Citra was busy opening photos of her childhood stored in an album that she would always open whenever she felt lonely and sad."What are you doing?" Nike asked, sitting down near the woman.Citra remained silent, keeping her mouth shut as if reluctant to answer the man again.She only gave a signal through her eyes that looked at the album."Is that me?" Nike asked while pointing to a portrait of himself and Citra when they were little.Citra smiled faintly, followed by a nod of her head.For a moment, a rather long sigh came out of the wom

    The dim light coming through the curtains of the man's room seemed to disturb Richard's sleep as he lay listlessly in his bed.He clicked his tongue in annoyance, irritated that his sleep had to be interrupted by that light."They shouldn't be bothering me!" Richard grumbled, half-conscious.As Richard grabbed the pillow on his right side to cover his face and avoid the light, suddenly the sound of his phone ringing echoed, filling his entire room.Richard's face became annoyed again, cursing in his heart at the person who dared to call him."Such a nuisance! Isn't the sun disturbing me enough?! Why does there have to be something else making me angry this morning!" Richard grumbled, getting increasingly irritated.Reluctantly, Richard walked to the table where he kept his comb and similar items, coincidentally where his phone was placed.Richard's gaze, which was initially blurry, suddenly became clear when he saw the nickname that appeared on his phone screen."Mr. Nike? Why is he c

    Everyone appeared shocked by what had been displayed on the big screen.Whispers began to be heard, recounting the bad things that man had done in the past.Everything resurfaced, becoming a hot topic among the employees there.Richard, feeling that he had been set up, did not deny all his actions, but Richard felt that the man had forgotten the agreement that should have still been maintained.Hadn't Richard helped that man in many ways, so why now did he have to get fired by having his disgrace exposed in public?If it's like this, then what about his future? It will be difficult for him to get a job later if his name is already this bad.In the business world, it's not difficult for bad news to spread to any corporate environment.Richard, who did not accept being treated like that by Nike, who was notoriously only a temporary director at that office, suddenly raised his voice, to hell with him no longer respecting his superior."What is this?! Do you think you have the right to do

    Ethan slowly opened his eyes, holding his throbbing head in pain.The memory of last night's events, which left Ethan helpless, gathered strength within him to move, to get up from his bed.Last night's events seemed like a dream in Ethan's mind. He didn't expect all of that to happen, not knowing who was behind it all.However, Ethan would make sure that his foolishness regarding drinking would only be done for the last time last night.He wouldn't repeat the same incident, which put him in a trap he never thought he would experience.A long sigh began Ethan's morning. He felt so grateful for God's grace that still saved him.Luckily Ethan could get out first; he didn't know what would have happened if he had stayed alone with that girl in the room.Meanwhile, it was clear that he had drunk the beverage mixed with drugs.Ethan's footsteps seemed to move towards the bathroom, washing his face, cleansing everything that poisoned his mind.Ethan then brushed his teeth and went out to th

    Ethan decided to wear a different outfit from his usual self today. Ethan was seen wearing a black hoodie covering his head to part of his face, combined with shorts and a mask that was perfectly attached to his face. No question about it, the man deliberately looked like this so that no one would recognize him or even have the opportunity to do bad things to him. Ethan walked casually with both hands tucked into his black hoodie, staring at the street with his head occasionally bowed down. When Ethan arrived at the parking lot, Ethan immediately entered his car, opening the hood of his hoodie and mask. After a few moments of pressure in an outfit that he was not used to, Ethan could finally breathe with relief."No, no, no. I have to do all this for my safety. I can't let my guard down again. Surely, there are still dangers trying to get close to me," Ethan muttered in his heart. He then opened his cell phone, looking for a route that he might take in order to arrive at a place

    Ethan massaged his temples which felt like they were channeling the throbbing in his head. A long sigh escaped his mouth. It was a waste of everything he had done so far. How could it not be? Instead of getting what he was trying and looking for right now, Ethan actually met a figure who didn't know who it was.As if it happened like a dream, Ethan met a mysterious figure who gave him a book but did not reach him. "What does that mean? Why did that woman suddenly disappear?" The question continued to grow, swirling in Ethan's head. "What does it all mean? If indeed it's the answer to what I'm looking for right now, but why didn't I manage to get it. Does all of this have something to do with what the creator of the system is trying to convey?" Ethan was confused. Not knowing what to do now, his mind was stuck with nowhere else to go. Only the bookstore was the biggest hope for Ethan because besides the large place, there were no other ancient bookstores in his city. Ethan co

    "Hey? What are you thinking about?" asked Nike when he found the woman in front of him still daydreaming.Ever since the incident where Citra accidentally bumped into a man with mysterious clothing, their gazes met and from that moment on, the woman had been mostly silent.Citra seemed to be thinking about something regarding that figure, making Nike curious about what was really happening."Do you know him?" Nike asked again, suddenly bringing Citra back to reality.The woman then quickly shook her head, indeed she also didn't know that man.His face was covered by a mask, not to mention his hoodie made the man even harder to recognize."Alright. I thought you knew him since you kept thinking about it like that," said Nike while sipping his coffee.Again, Citra shook her head, not confirming the man's words.She then focused on the food already served in front of her, holding a spoon and fork, eating her order of french fries.Again, the woman chewed with her mind no longer present i

    Starting today, Citra decided to return to work as usual. She spent a lot of time in the office, managing the company that had become her responsibility.A fairly long sigh escaped her lips as she looked at the wall clock, which now showed half-past 7 in the evening."Are you done?"Citra shifted her gaze to the man who was the source of the voice."Almost," Citra replied.The man then approached Citra, looking at her computer screen, which indeed only had a few sections left."If you're already tired, you can continue tomorrow, or if you don't want to do it tomorrow, how about copying the file to your laptop? I brought a flash drive; you can put it here first and then transfer it to your laptop. Continue at home," Nike suggested.However, the man's suggestion didn't seem to offer a solution for Citra.In fact, she preferred to stay there and finish it in the office.Citra shook her head, indicating that she was rejecting the man's offer."No need, Nike. I'll finish it here. If you're

    As promised to the woman, Ethan decided to go to Citra's house and talk to her parents.His hand, which was already holding several plastic bags filled with fruits, was immediately taken over by a household assistant when the man arrived at Citra's house. Citra, who was at the top of the stairs, immediately descended it, smiling when she saw that he was already at her house. This was something she had been waiting for, she was really happy that the person she loved would express his desire to marry her to her parents. "Your parents are there, right Citra?" Asked Etha after the two of them decided to sit on a fairly soft sofa in the living room.Citra wanted to answer, but suddenly from the other direction came the voice of Citra's father. "We're here, Ethan." Ethan turned his head towards our parents who were currently walking towards the two of them and decided to sit on the opposite sofa. Suddenly, the man's heart was unsafe in the presence of Citra's parents, as if he really fel

    After their romantic dinner, Ethan drove slowly towards Citra's house. But before he actually left he turned to Amel who was still on the terrace of the restaurant. "Come on Amel, let's go home together," said Ethan who couldn't possibly leave his sister alone at the restaurant.Amel smiled, of course she couldn't possibly interfere with the two of them being together. She then shook her head and said, "Don't worry, Ethan, I'll go with lecturer Malik. In a few minutes he will come to pick me up."Hearing the words from Amel made Ethan nod his head, he then decided to get into Citra's car, considering that Citra brought a car and there was no way if he let her drive alone. He then got into the car after making sure Citra was in the car. He then began to drive the car through the crowded city. While driving, Ethan occasionally turned his head towards Citra, feeling happy that she had accepted his feelings. Even though he had felt that she would not accept his feelings, especially sin

    For a long time Ethan waited for Citra's arrival who had yet to show her nose. He really felt worried if she didn't come to see him in the end. Even though he had tried to give his best to her. If she didn't come, what about her? Will he continue to wait like this and not express his feelings? Of course that can't happen. He had to keep expressing his feelings to her and hope that she would come soon and accept his feelings.Amel, who had been beside the man all along, of course knew what the man was worried about. It had been more than 10 minutes since the woman he was waiting for had shown her nose, and he was also afraid that she wouldn't come in the end. But Amel thought that the woman would definitely come, considering that she seemed so worried about her brother's condition and always tried to get close to him. But why she hadn't shown up yet made her feel worried."Why hasn't Citra come yet?" Amel muttered to herself. Her gaze continued to settle on the door of the restaurant,

    Tonight as planned, Ethan and Amel went to a restaurant that the man had booked in advance. Of course, this is because he wants to express his feelings to someone so special. That someone, of course, was none other than Citra. Tonight, he was going to express those feelings to her. He had been harboring his feelings for a long time, and it was time for him to express them. He didn't want her to leave him and choose to be with another man who was more serious. He must choose to be serious before someone else is serious to that woman."How is it, Brother Ethan? Are you ready now?"Of course, Amel as the younger sister of the man agreed with her brother's idea. She certainly wanted to see her brother happy together with the woman he loved. Moreover, she was a good woman who never left her brother under any circumstances, and she liked her very much. Besides being kind, she was also beautiful and very smart. There were so many women who envied that woman, and so many men who wanted to mak

    After a few days of hospitalization, Ethan decided to go home because he was now in a better condition than before. His gaze then turned towards a woman who was currently standing not far from him. The woman was none other than Citra who was staring at him while wearing a smile. Of course, Citra knew that this time they decided to go home because last night the man said he no longer felt at home in the hospital. Actually, Ethan still had to be treated in order to be really in good condition, but since he felt uncomfortable in the hospital, inevitably, Citra agreed to the man's request and chose to take care of him when at home. At least the man wouldn't feel bored if he was at home."We're going home now, right, Citra?"The man asked again because he was afraid that suddenly a doctor or nurse would try to get in the way. Ethan already felt tired and shouldn't be in a hospital like this which would only make him more tired. Actually, he wasn't doing anything and wasn't really doing muc

    Leona left the hospital with blurred eyes. She really felt sad because she got a rejection from the man who was supposed to be hers. How could that man reject her, after so many men wanted to have her and wanted to make her their lover? But what about that man? Yes, not affected by him at all. He should have had the same feelings as other men when he was close to her. But, unfortunately, that man seemed to have no heart.Leona, who continued to walk and saw nothing, suddenly bumped into a man who was just about to enter the hospital. The man was quite surprised when someone suddenly bumped into him. Luckily, he immediately tried to catch Leona who was about to fall or else she would have fallen on the floor."I'm sorry that I didn't see," Leona said, feeling a little guilty for suddenly realizing that she was trying to make a man fall because of her negligence.Without caring about the man, Leona decided to quickly walk away. In fact, she did not heed the man's calls at all. Meanwhile

    "Ethan, I have something to say to you, Ethan."After a long period of silence where it was just the two of them, Leona felt that this was her chance to express her feelings for him. After all, how long was she going to keep her feelings bottled up? The man in front of her had to know that she actually had feelings and wanted to be in a relationship. Even though he knew that the man liked Citra, but still, he should at least let him know that he had more feelings for the man and hope that those feelings would be reciprocated by the man.Ethan frowned in confusion, looking suspiciously at the woman in front of him. What was the woman going to ask? That is, what did she want to say? There seemed to be something quite important that the woman wanted to say, but somehow she was not ready to listen to it. However, refusing to listen didn't seem like a good idea, so inevitably she chose to nod her head, letting the woman say everything she wanted to say, even though she didn't like what the

    "How are you, Ethan? Are you okay?"Leona asked immediately when she was right inside the man's room. It appeared that the man was currently hospitalized, and he was on a bed with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened to him. Though it was clear that the man had been kidnapped by someone unknown to Leona. She didn't know who had tried to kidnap the man. It seemed like she would ask later after having a short conversation with the man.Ethan smiled as he nodded his head. He knew that Leona had also helped search for him by mobilizing several men, as well as Leo who did not remain silent when he was in danger. The two of them were really instrumental in finding him, making him feel happy to have people close to him who were so kind and willing to look for him when in danger."I'm fine, Leona. Thank you for worrying about me."Leona just nodded her head. The woman decided to put down the fruits she had bought at a shop on the side of the road. She placed it right on the table,

    "Where am I?"Ethan's gaze turned right and left, trying to ascertain where he was. Last he remembered, he was in a stuffy warehouse where people were trying to torture him, let alone a fat man who was so creepy. But why was she in a place that was all white, as if it was a hospital? It was because she had come to the hospital before, and had even been a patient. But, how could he be in a hospital like this now? Shouldn't he still be in the warehouse?Those questions kept swirling in his brain until he finally caught the face of someone smiling at him. It was Citra, a woman who was always by his side when he was not well. She smiled as if she was happy to see him awake."Citra, how did I get here? Wasn't I in a warehouse before?" he asked, staring at the beautiful woman whose gaze was currently drawn to him.Citra gave him a smile. She then helped the man to sit up and rested his head right on the back of the bed. "It's a long story, Ethan. But everything is fine now. You're safe now.
