"Looks like you guys haven't come to this house for a while, right?" said Citra after seeing how the dust condition was on the porch of Ethan's house. The house really looked like it had never been swept, with some dust and dirt stuck there.

Ethan who had just gotten out of the car was quite surprised when he saw the condition of his house. Hadn't he given money to one of his neighbors to take care of his house? But why did his house look so dirty, it even looked like it hadn't been swept for several months.

Amel, who also knew that her brother had paid his neighbor to clean the house, immediately turned to her brother. The girl frowned, confused and not at all expecting their house to look so dirty. What if it was dirty inside too? Surely they would have to clean up first before deciding to rest. Wouldn't that just make them feel even more tired?

"Aren't you going to pay our neighbor?" asked Amel finally, looking seriously at the man who had just gotten out of the car.

    "It's getting late, Martin. Have your men not found Citra's whereabouts until now?" The mother of Citra immediately approached Martin, whose face was no longer friendly. How could the man's face be friendly, considering that all the business partners who had attended this event had already gone home? In fact, not just some-they had all left the party after the announcement that the bride had suddenly disappeared. Martin turned his head towards Citra's mother. Obviously, he was angry at the middle-aged woman for Citra's disappearance, but still Martin could not vent his anger at the middle-aged woman, considering that she had been the one who supported this marriage, even to the point of forcing Citra to marry him. Only this time, Citra suddenly ran off with Ethan. Martin chose to shake his head, indicating that his men had yet to locate Citra. In fact, they had mobilized their energy to search for Citra throughout the city, but still she was not there, as if she had been submerged

    It was getting late, and a woman could be seen sitting on the sofa, staring nervously at her cell phone. She was eager to turn on the phone and call her parents. However, hesitation shackled her heart. She knew that her parents would most likely not worry about her; they would probably scold her for running away from the wedding that was supposed to take place that day.The woman looked at her cell phone lying on the table. The urge to pick up the phone and turn it on was strong, but the fear of her parents' anger held her back. She didn't want to hear a voice reprimanding and blaming her. She felt desperate and confused, between the desire to tell them she was fine and the fear of facing their disappointment."What should I do?" she muttered under her breath, as she continued to stare at her phone without taking her eyes anywhere else.Before she knew it, a man was standing in the doorway, watching her. The man, Ethan, could read the anxiety on the woman's face. He knew for a fact th

    "What about this, Dad? Until now, Citra hasn't been found."Citra's parents were on the terrace, waiting for news from Martin. However, until now, the man had not given any news, indicating that Martin's men had not found the whereabouts of their daughter.The middle-aged man beside the woman could only sigh. Since the beginning, he had actually disagreed with Citra being married off to Martin, considering that his daughter had never had any feelings for Martin. However, his wife kept trying to persuade Citra to marry Martin.And now, they were confused because Citra had suddenly disappeared. This should have been thought of from the beginning, considering that there will be no happy marriage if it is not based on love. Now it's evident that Citra has left with someone she loves. What else could they do now? Complaining was all she could do."Papa told Mama not to force Citra to marry Martin. Look at her now, she's gone because of him."Citra's mother immediately turned to her husband

    It had been almost a week since Citra had stayed in Ethan's hometown, and during that time, she had not activated her phone. She hasn't been able to take the nagging from her parents who would definitely demand her to go back home and have a wedding that she certainly never wanted.Currently, she is sitting on the terrace while enjoying the morning atmosphere. Apparently, being in the village has made her heart calm these past few days. Even though she missed her parents a little because she hadn't heard from them in a while, at least here, she really felt calm; there was no one to disturb her peace.Ethan, who saw Citra alone while enjoying the morning atmosphere, decided to walk over to her. He then immediately sat right beside her. In fact, his presence at this time was not even noticed by Citra who was completely enjoying the tranquility until whoever was beside her was not even glanced at by her."Ehem!" Ethan's deheman instantly made Citra turn her head. She was a little surpris

    After everyone finished getting ready, Ethan immediately got up from his seat, walking over to his car that was parked neatly in front of the house's terrace. He then turned to Amel and Citra who were currently chatting."Are you guys going to continue to be there?" he asked, looking at the two of them who were busy chatting, when they should have immediately left for a place that might make them feel a little calm.Amel and Citra laughed at Ethan's words. They hurried over to the car and got in."Of course we're leaving now, let's step on the gas, Brother Ethan."Hearing those words from Amel made Ethan shake his head, but in the end he started the car engine and immediately drove the car through the village streets that were not too crowded."Where is this going, Amel?" asked Ethan after getting out of the yard, turning to Amel who was currently playing with her cell phone.Amel, who had been silent for a while, actually also didn't know where she was going, considering that this ev

    Currently, Citra and Ethan are still at the hospital. Both of them are waiting for Amel, who is still hospitalized. Occasionally, Ethan, who was sitting in a waiting chair, looked over to where Amel was lying. He felt guilty for not taking care of his sister. He should have first ensured the security of the hotel so that something like this would not happen to Amel. He felt angry, worried, and guilty for the girl.Citra, who saw the man in front of her looking inside, could only sigh. Of course she knew what the man was thinking right now. There was obvious concern on his face. After all, Amel was the only person the man had. It was natural for him to be so worried about the girl. But at least the man had to be calm for everything to go well."Don't worry, Ethan. I'm sure that your sister will be fine," Citra said trying to calm the man down. Although she knew that the reassuring words might not be easily absorbed by the man, she would still feel worried for someone who was currently

    After a few days in the hospital, Amel was finally allowed to go home. She then turned to her brother who had just entered the room."Are you okay, Amel? Is it okay to go home now?"Ethan immediately approached the woman. Of course, he was worried if she decided to go home, even though she had been in the hospital for more than three days. However, he wanted to make sure that she was okay before actually deciding to go home.Amel quickly nodded her head. After all, she would say that she was fine. She certainly felt bored if she was constantly in the hospital, despite occasionally going to the park and looking around there. But still, the boredom was always present. She wanted to go home as soon as possible and lay down on the soft bed, even though the hospital bed was soft too. But still, she wanted to go home and leave this hospital."I'm already fine, Hyung-nim. There's no need to worry about me. If I stay here, I'll feel crazy," Amel said honestly to her brother, hoping that he wo

    "Aren't we going back to the city, Ethan?" It had been a few days since they had been in the village, and of course Amel missed the city, especially since she had started working there. Citra who heard Amel's words could only remain silent. Her gaze shifted to Ethan, where the man was also silent. It seemed like Ethan was still confused about how the three of them would proceed. However, the three of them obviously couldn't stay in the village all the time, there was something to do in the city, including the man's company. "We should really go back to the city, Ethan. It's impossible for us to stay in the village all the time," Citra finally said, trying to give the three of them a solution. Although there was actually a feeling of unwillingness to leave the village, she was quite at home here. However, she couldn't be selfish and keep them all in the village. Ethan turned his head towards Citra. To be honest, he had been thinking about this since yesterday. They really could

    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.
