"What are you talking about? We've been in here too long. Come on, let's go back to the workspace," Citra said, clearly intentionally ignoring Ethan's question."Fine. I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up with you," Ethan muttered to himself.With no other choice, the man followed Citra's lead as she headed back to their work area.Once inside, they both returned to their respective places, as if they had run out of topics and had nothing left to discuss.However, unbeknownst to Citra, Ethan kept sneaking glances at her.Not once did he receive any attention from her.The strange and uncomfortable atmosphere in the office suddenly prompted Ethan to decide to go out.He knew it wasn't break time yet. But no matter how much he tried to force himself to stay, it was pointless."I'll tell her..."Ethan was about to stand up and approach Citra. However, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, remembering that he shouldn't do that.Who was Citra to him that she needed to know and be informed of E

Ethan walked back towards his office, thinking he could calm himself by leaving the office for a bit.However, contrary to what the man expected, he found a new problem that made his mental burden feel heavy again.A long sigh escaped Ethan's mouth as he occasionally sipped the coffee cup in his hand while massaging his throbbing temples.His thoughts were quite chaotic at the moment, considering what had happened over the past few days.No! Ethan couldn't focus on all these problems coming at once. Instead, he should be able to think about the right solutions for all of this.That's right. Right now, Ethan was thinking too far ahead, when he could still consider solutions that would resolve issues between him and Citra.Ethan returned to the office, greeting several employees there who called out to him. As usual, he still flashed his sweet smile at everyone, appearing as a very friendly boss.He went back to his room, not finding Citra anywhere in her place."Where did she go?"Etha

Citra re-entered her office, finding Ethan deeply focused on his computer screen.The man seemed oblivious to his surroundings, concentrating solely on the work before him.Citra let out a long sigh, looking at the brown folder in her hands.Niko's words still echoed in her head. Maybe the man was right.She needed to talk to Ethan about this soon."I have to speak with him," Citra muttered, reassuring herself.She nodded slowly, glancing at the brown folder before looking up at the man.She then walked over to where Ethan was sitting.A smile formed on her face, making her feel much better.Without saying anything first, Citra placed the brown folder right next to Ethan. This naturally caught his attention, making him furrow his brow as he looked at Citra."What's this?" the man asked, staring intently at Citra.Still unsure how to respond, Citra gestured with her eyes for him to open the folder himself.Not understanding but not wanting to be more curious, Ethan picked up the folder

Ethan tried searching, scouring the streets not far from his office.Even in that deserted area, with narrow alleys only passable by motorcycles or other small vehicles, Ethan couldn't find any signs of the man.Ethan fell silent, stopping his car not far from the entrance of a narrow alley."No. If I get out, someone might recognize me and put me in danger. No, I can't just get out and risk my life like that," Ethan muttered wisely.He realized that now wasn't the time to be careless with his fate. He might want to help Niko, but he also had to think about his own safety.It would be lucky if he was caught by his enemies, but if it was robbers or thugs, he would just die in vain. What if Niko wasn't even there? All his efforts would be for nothing.Ethan sighed, starting his car again to search elsewhere, following the streets where, according to the security guard, Niko had only been walking."Where did he go? He shouldn't be far from here. If he really left just on foot, he should

Citra parked her car in the hospital parking lot.Previously, she had received a call from an unknown number. It turned out to be the number of a young man who was a volunteer at the accident scene.He briefly explained that there was a man driving Citra's car, asking about the accident.Suddenly, the man got out and approached the crowd that was looking at the accident victim. Not long after the medical team arrived, the young man saw that the man driving Citra's car immediately got into the ambulance.He was confused about what would happen to the car.Since the car was not locked, the young man mustered up the courage to open it and found an old phone number on Citra's old business card from when she was still the leader of her family's company.She had kept it in her car's dashboard. That's why the young man was able to get her phone number.Citra was grateful that the young man was honest and didn't take advantage of the situation."Excuse me. Which room is for the accident victi

Ethan didn't want to leave his spot, causing Citra, who was pulling him, to look at the man.Behind them, the middle-aged woman had slumped to the floor, crying with tears she could no longer hold back."What else is there? If you keep staying there, they'll just keep blaming you!" Citra insisted, seeming to harbor great resentment towards Niko's parents. Ethan then shook his head, approached the woman, and reached out to touch both sides of her cheeks."Don't think negatively. I'm sure they were just emotional earlier. We can't just leave. Don't let them think we're not grieving," Ethan explained in a gentle tone.Citra, already upset with the middle-aged woman, seemed not to care. She folded her arms across her chest, not caring about Ethan's words.Left with no other choice, Ethan could only let the woman dwell in her thoughts."Let's attend Niko's funeral," Ethan said, leaving Citra with no other option.She followed the man wherever he went, but if those parents dared to accuse

Time passed so quickly. Before he knew it, a few weekends had gone by.This was the second weekend for Amel since staying in the city."Morning, Amel!" Citra greeted the girl.Amel, seeing the woman there, immediately glanced at the clock on the wall.The clock showed it was already 8 a.m."Sis Citra, aren't you going to the office?" Amel asked the woman.Citra, hearing the question, shook her head. She then asked the woman to sit beside her."What jam do you want? Chocolate or strawberry?" Citra asked, looking at the girl.Amel looked contemplative, staring at all the different jams on the table."Or do you want blueberry mixed with grapes?" Citra asked again, sounding like a bread seller."Okay. It sounds like it will be a delicious combination," Amel replied with a soft chuckle.Citra nodded, spreading the jam as requested by the girl.The two of them immediately enjoyed the breakfast while chatting casually and lightly, just making small talk to fill the silence between them."Sor

A perfect smile adorned Amel's face. She looked so happy because Citra and Ethan had introduced her to such a large, magnificent university."So, Amel? Do you like this university? Actually, if you're not comfortable here, I can find another campus for you," Citra said to the beaming girl.Hearing this offer, Amel shook her head, indicating that she rejected the woman's suggestion."I like this place. I want to stay here. Besides, everything here is already so complete. I can also take the major I like. Can I study at this place?" Amel asked, looking alternately at the woman and then at Ethan.Her gaze clearly showed hope that she would be allowed to continue her education there."Of course. You can study wherever you want," Ethan said to the girl."Thank you, Ethan! Thank you so much!" Amel squealed with joy. The girl even hugged her brother's waist tightly, conveying her happiness.Ethan returned the hug, and they then decided to play together, spending their weekend going to places

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.
