A wide smile appeared perfectly at the corner of Leona's lips; the woman looked very happy. Especially now that they had arrived at the exhibition showcasing many artworks made by villagers.However, as the pamphlets had been widely distributed to the public, the exhibition attracted many people, evident from how Ethan and Leona were struggling to find parking."Oh come on! Can't we go any faster? I can't wait to see the exhibition there. Can't you park more quickly?" asked Leona, who seemed full of enthusiasm.She looked at the people who were already visiting many of the stalls where people were selling things there; she really couldn't wait to visit all the stalls there."Be patient, Miss Leona. There are so many people coming to this exhibition, and it seems that because of the long time you used earlier, we're now having trouble getting a parking spot," Ethan said to the woman.It was visible how Leona became flustered because indeed, she had taken too long getting ready. After s
Ethan was about to approach Citra, but Leona quickly grabbed his hand.She pulled his hand away even before Ethan could speak to Citra."How about that booth over there? Wow! They seem to be selling all their woven goods. I want to buy that knitted sweater they made. Come on, Mr. Ethan! We need to go there before they sell out!"Leona kept pulling Ethan's hand with all her might, but the man clenched his fist tightly, clearly showing how annoyed he was with Leona trying to get his attention."Come on! Don't stop walking like that," Leona scolded him.She blinked her eyes several times, begging Ethan to follow her lead.However, Ethan's thoughts were so scattered that he couldn't think of anything else right now."Enough! I can't accompany you anymore, Miss. Please, give me time to leave for a moment. There's someone I need to meet urgently. I hope you'll understand what I'm saying, Miss," said Ethan as he extended his hand to release Leona's grip on him.At this point, Ethan no longer
"Sorry."Ethan said that one word, which held so many implicit meanings.Only certain people, especially Citra, would understand all the meanings contained in that short word."Why are you here? Aren't you with your girlfriend?" Citra asked, frowning in annoyance.She then folded her arms across her chest, rolling her eyes lazily."Girlfriend? You mean Leona? The woman who met you earlier at the booth...""Enough, stop. Don't talk anymore if you just want to show off about your relationship with that woman. Without you explaining in more detail, I already know that you've been in a relationship with her."Citra folded her arms across her chest, averting her gaze elsewhere.She didn't want to look at Ethan's eyes at all.Just as Ethan took a seat next to her, Citra immediately shifted her position almost to the very edge."Stay where you are or I'll leave," Citra said, making Ethan instantly turn into a statue.He didn't want to take any further risks.A long sigh escaped Ethan's mouth
Ethan immediately sped up his car to a high speed. He really didn't know what else to do at this point.His mind felt truly chaotic. Thinking about what had happened to the woman who had previously gone with him.At first, the man thought everything would be fine. However, suddenly Mr. Leo sent him a message about what had happened to Leona.The man said that his niece was now being rushed to a hospital, he said someone saw Leona get hit by a car."You should have been able to take good care of my niece, Mr. Ethan. So, how is she now, Mr. Ethan? You should have just said if you didn't want to be with her, I would have accompanied her earlier."Those were the words that came out of Mr. Leo's mouth when the phone connection was established with the man.The man's thoughts were really in turmoil right now, he couldn't think clearly anymore."What happened?! How could all this happen?! What should I do now, I've really made a big mistake. Mr. Leo must be furious with me right now."Ethan
Ethan and Mr. Leo's attention was visibly drawn to the doctor who came out with his nurse."You go ahead and take care of it first," said the doctor, giving orders to the nurse behind him, before finally turning his focus to the two anxious-looking men.A sweet smile appeared perfectly at the corner of Robi's lips. After all, he had to be able to calm and ease the tense atmosphere that had built up at that time."How is my niece's condition, doc? Is she okay? Nothing serious happened to her, right? How is she doing?"The barrage of questions expressing his concern came from the man's mouth. A warm smile appeared to calm the worries of the two men."Calm down, sir. We will certainly do our best to treat the patient. You don't need to feel overly worried because the bleeding that occurred could be quickly stopped and handled thanks to the patient being brought in faster. If it had been too late to bring her here, I'm not sure if we could have saved the patient's life or not," said Docto
Amel arrived at the hospital, asking the staff where the room containing the patient who had just been admitted was located.A long sigh escaped the woman's mouth as she turned her gaze elsewhere.She vaguely thought she saw a man who looked familiar in her sight, and quickly abandoned her intention, even though the nurse had clearly been about to say something to her."Miss! Miss!" called the nurse, but Amel clearly ignored her.The woman continued walking, approaching a man who appeared to have just ended a phone call.He seemed to have just contacted someone and ended the call while carrying several plastic bags containing food."Excuse me! I'm sorry, sir. You... know my brother, don't you?"Amel immediately stopped the man, noticing that he appeared much older than Ethan, her brother.The woman still recognized that face; she had been told about him by Ethan, but she forgot the person's name.A long sigh escaped Amel's mouth as she then took a deep breath, trying to regulate her b
Citra glared at the man who was right in front of her. The woman had repeatedly stated that she would never want to go with him, but Martin was forcing her to go."I don't want to go with you. I beg you to leave here now. I don't want to see you here at all. Please, leave my place right now. I want to rest. Please, don't force me to go with you."Citra took a deep breath, trying to hold back the emotions that were about to erupt from within her.It was clear how the woman clenched her fist as if ready to give Martin a raw punch right now.She was really sick of the man's presence who didn't listen to her at all."No, Citra. I will never leave here before you agree to come with me. Come on, no need to play hard to get. Don't worry, I won't take you to a place like before. I just want to invite you for dinner together. Please," the man kept persuading her.It was visible how Martin was also not being stubborn and rude as usual towards her, he seemed like a new person Citra had met.Howe
"You two go home. I'll wait here." Leo, who had seen the look on Ethan's face that seemed to have so many thoughts, also felt sorry at last. He knew that the man must be having uneasy feelings considering that earlier, he had also heard a faint conversation from Ethan and Amel saying that the woman who might have been loved by the man was in need of his help. However, it seemed that Ethan did not decide to leave because he was thinking about Leona's current situation. "Mr. Ethan.." called Leo which only brought Ethan to his senses after a short time when the man's hand reached out, touching the man's shoulder.Ethan blinked his eyes a few times, turning his gaze towards the man who was currently staring at him, a smile on the corner of his lips. "No, no. I'll stay here, wait until Miss Leona regains consciousness, Mr. Leo."Hearing that, Leo visibly sighed, shaking his head as he knew that the man did not fully agree with the decision made by himself. "That's it, don't think abo
