Alex walked out of Lisa's apartment in a lackluster manner. His hopes of getting back into a relationship with her were now dashed, as she had betrayed him.How could she have done that? Really Alex you think at all if Lisa and her sister are no different, where they both betrayed her and had an affair with another man. The heartache of being betrayed for the second time, made Alex not want to know women for now.It feels like Alex doesn't want to be in a relationship with anyone right now. He wants to heal the wounds of his heart that really feel so painful.By driving his car, Alex sped away from the apartment. Before long, Alex had arrived in front of Alberto's magnificent house.He took a deep breath and let it out roughly. He opened the car door and immediately entered the house."Where have you been, Lex?" Mr. Alberto who saw Alex just entering the house questioned his son, to which Alex approached without saying anything.Alex immediately put down the tape that he had intention
A few years later, it turned out that Alex really decided not to be in a relationship with a woman.Alberto, who was afraid that Alex would not get married as he matured, was scared.At first Alberto was happy because his son was so focused on the company. Even the company is more advanced than before because of the hard work done by Alex, but lately Alberto wants to see Alex get married.Alberto has introduced Alex to some of his coworkers' children several times, but Alex still refuses and doesn't want to be in a relationship.That morning, Alberto approached a woman who was none other than his daughter. The woman was seen holding a small child while joking with him."Alya," Alberto finally called out.The woman, who was none other than Alya, turned her head. She came closer after hearing her father's call."What's wrong, Pa?" asked Alya as she put her daughter on her lap.Alberto smiled and took his granddaughter from Alya's lap and placed her on his own."How are things going with
In a corner of Jakarta, unexpected things often occur. Muggings, thefts, and numerous street thugs demand contributions from the ordinary people along the streets of the capital city. Bam! "Please, sir!" A soft whimper could be heard as two thugs began assaulting a young man. "Hand over your money! Only then will I let you go!" barked one of the thugs, whose arm up to his elbow was adorned with a tattoo of a dragon. The young man clutched his stomach, now sprawled helpless on the asphalt, scattered with dried leaves. "I ... I don't have any money left, sir. I haven't received my salary this month. I..." Bam! Slap! "Open his bag! Take whatever's inside!" commanded the tattooed thug to his partner. The partner nodded, signaling his compliance with the thug's order. "No, sir! I'm not lying. I really..." "What's this, huh?! You said you didn't have any money? Then what's this?!" shouted the partner after inspecting the young man's bag. The two thugs then took the only remainin
Alex let out a long sigh. It seemed like despair and resignation had etched their marks on his face, once again, for who knows how many times."Why does my life have to be so unlucky?!"Alex kicked the bottle of drink in front of him, letting it fly and land wherever it pleased.The recent events that had unfolded shortly after Alex left his workplace continued to haunt his mind. Honestly, he still felt frustrated and angry about everything that had happened today.Now, Alex chose to sit on the small staircase outside his workplace. His gaze stared blankly ahead, lost in thought. For a moment, Alex contemplated it all.His mind led him back to the moment when he obtained a small piece of paper that now faithfully remained in his grasp.Bam!The bathroom door, which had been locked by Alex from the inside, was suddenly heard being forcefully broken down by someone.Before the knife that Alex had been carrying all this time could harm his own wrist, a man named Angga, whose name was on
"What should I do with this box?"Currently, Alex is still confused whether to bring the box into his apartment or just throw it in his trash bin."But, upon closer inspection, this doesn't look like a package from a regular courier service. Could it be a gift from someone back in my hometown? Maybe they've sent me a message, but I forgot to check my chat."Alex nods his head several times, trying to maintain a positive outlook on the mysterious box he just found."Alright, I'll bring it inside."Alex then carries the mysterious box into his room, making sure to lock the apartment door."What an exhausting day," Alex mutters while stretching his body.Before uttering those words, Alex had already placed the mysterious box he received earlier on a table in the middle of his apartment.Alex walks towards his desk, not far from his bed where he usually sits. He stares intently at the papers pinned to the wall using a bulletin board."Everything just happened all at once. What's right and
Alex stared intently at the piece of paper now in his hand."What does this letter mean? The system will grant powers according to its choice? Wait, what does that even mean? I don't understand it at all."Alex shakes his head, trying to comprehend the meaning of the letter but ends up feeling more confused.His thoughts wander aimlessly, and it becomes difficult for Alex to understand his own mind."This doesn't seem like a package sent by someone I know. If my mother or someone from the village sent something to me, they wouldn't write such a cryptic note."Alex murmurs in his thoughts, attempting to convince himself that what he is seeing is not a gift from anyone he knows."Especially the strange words written on this paper. It's hard to decipher. So, it's impossible for people from the village to have sent it."Alex becomes more certain in his thoughts.He then reaches out to pick up the futuristic gadget, examining it carefully from every angle."Hmm... How do I use this gadget?
Alex stretches his body, preparing to sit back on his bed and gather his thoughts."Was last night just a dream? It's impossible for me to have become that strong," Alex murmurs, a bewildered smile on his face.He still can't believe what happened last night, how Angga and Adam ran away in a panic. It's usually Alex who acts that way, not them.Alex takes a deep breath, his hands reaching up to massage his temples, trying to alleviate the lingering confusion."Come on, Alex! You need to start a new day with new activities!" he encourages himself. He then throws back the covers that were previously covering his body.Somehow, Alex's gaze is spontaneously drawn to the lonely gadget resting on the table. The screen of the gadget remains lifeless, just as he saw it last.Alex had disposed of the box and the letter that came with the gadget yesterday. He doesn't understand why he left the gadget behind while getting rid of the other items.He considers the gadget to be a reminder of how fo
Alex was still puzzled by the recent turn of events. Accepting the position as Director Kim's personal assistant was something that had never crossed his mind before. A mix of happiness and nervousness overwhelmed him. Nevertheless, he knew that this was a significant opportunity for him to prove his capabilities.Not wanting to waste any time, Alex immediately set about preparing everything. He diligently noted down all the instructions given by Director Kim and promptly studied the topics that would be discussed in the meeting. Alex was filled with enthusiasm and committed to giving his best in this opportunity.He ignored the puzzled gazes of all the employees staring at him. Alex didn't care about that at all; the most important thing now was that he would be leaving the toxic environment of being in the same room with them. No one would disturb him anymore because he was moving to a new position as Director Kim's personal assistant.Time flew by, and the time for the meeting arri
