"Damn it, what did I say just now? Hah!" Barra monologued to himself.
His right hand clenched into a perfect fist as he pounded on the desk in front of him. He shouldn't have said that to the girl he was still in love with. It was only because he was nervous that the words that came out of his mouth did not match her heart. It was too late. Serena's slap wouldn't make things go back to the way they were.
Barra exhaled roughly. His aunt's words last night slowly replayed in his brain.
"Is it because of that syndrome that she's avoiding me? Serena, are you suffering from MRKH syndrome like my Aunt said? If so, you're not doing well right now," the man muttered again monologuing to himself.
Without another thought, he immedia
Ami could no longer answer when a man came up from behind her. Realizing there was something the two brothers were going to talk about, she immediately excused herself."What are you doing here?" Barra asked after sighing.Tora published a lopsided smile, "Don't you feel like you've done something to Serena?""Instead of minding my business, it's better to take care of your wife who has messed everything up," Barra argued, not wanting to feel blamed."Oh, you're an adult. You shouldn't blame others for your mistakes. Okay, at that time Tita was angry and provoked you, so was it all purely because of her?" Tora snapped, deliberately intimidating his younger brother. The GM of Rose Hotel then sat on the chair behind Barra. For a moment both of them were silent and talking to themselves."I wonder, since when did you care about our love story? Even before that, you were indifferent. What else did Serena do wrong until you and Tita hated her so much?" Tora aske
"I just found out that there are asparagus that are white, Ms. Serena," said Risa with a smile."That's true. Indeed, white asparagus is cultivated in the highlands and is not commonly found in Indonesia. I wouldn't have known about it if I hadn't taken a cooking course," Serena said as she continued to observe the process of soaking the seeds of the asparagus plant in front of her. Serena decided not to accept Tora's offer to work at Rose Hotel. She was sure she was worried that she would make a mess of the man's household. More to the point, she didn't want to get involved with Barra. Even though it was a different company, there was still a possibility that she would run into her ex. That's what she thought at the time. As of now, she could enjoy the peace she had long dreamed of.
Hearing the GM's almost desperate words, David sighed. After a while, Ami appeared with a box of first aid supplies along with the two OB officers that David had ordered earlier."Don't touch me!" Barra snapped as his secretary attempted to treat the wound on his hand."But, sir. The wound-" Ami froze in place as her superior's eyes pierced her displeased gaze. Slowly, her body recoiled until she could no longer move."Never mind. I'll take care of Mr. GM," said David who immediately took over the box in Ami's hand. The secretary got up from her place and quickly excused herself.While the two OB officers were cleaning up the mess, David was again preoccupied with Barra who was still wearing his protesting face."Come here, sir. It'll help treat your wound," David said.&n
Serena moved to advance her body slightly. The girl wanted to make sure that her sense of hearing was not mistaken."The heir of the landowner I told you about is coming, ma'am. I don't know what to say if he's about to..." Mrs. Risa's speech paused for a moment."I don't know what to do anymore," she continued. "Never mind, ma'am. You should rest. Don't think about it too much. Your health is more important," said Serena, who then gently stroked the arm of the orphanage owner. Silence. The two women of different ages stared at each other and then drifted off into their thoughts. An hour later, Mrs. Risa fell asleep due to the effects of the medicine she had taken. Serena who saw the situation slowly stepped out to let the
The girl's lungs expanded fully as she inhaled even more oxygen. She had no idea why fate always seemed to have her backed into a corner. Until the man's faint smile managed to make Serena's bad daydream fade away instantly."What are you doing here?" asked the man when he saw Serena who was suddenly in front of him.The man signaled for his guards to move away."We need to talk," Serena said not wanting to make small talk anymore."My pleasure," greeted his interlocutor while continuing to smile.The two immediately pulled over to sit in a park not far from the car park."Is it a coincidence that we met here Miss Rena?"The girl did not answer. Her gaze continued to look at him questioningly."Oh come on. Is this how you greet me?""Shut up, Jason. What do you mean to disturb this parlor? Is my daddy's estate not enough for you?" Serena squin
After arguing with Jason yesterday, the GM of Erlangga Hotel was starting to get anxious. He was cursing his carelessness for missing a golden opportunity to get Serena back with him. This was the first time he couldn't sleep well because he was thinking about his ex's fate. Oh, more precisely his fate for still not being able to move on from Serena's charm. Regardless of the cause of their relationship that ran aground 11 years ago, the girl had never made him gloomy like now. Even the one night he thought of a way out, it still came to nothing. "Do we still have a meeting today?" Barra asked as he checked the file submitted by David. "Yes, sir. Eleven o'clock, after that -" "Handle afterward. I'd like to leave after lunch," the GM cut in, not wanting to be contradicted. For a moment David sighed softly, he could see the bags under his boss's eyes that clearly showed a lack of rest. "Are you okay, sir?" asked David with concern. Hearing his assistant
"Come, sir. Please drink," said Mrs. Risa, pointing to two glasses of tea given to her by one of the caretakers. Barra nodded slowly. He started to look around as if she was looking for something. Mrs. Risa, who seemed to understand what the man in front of her was doing, just smiled. "Where's Miss. Rena right now?" the owner asked the person who delivered the tray of tea. "In the kitchen, ma'am. She's preparing the dinner menu," the caretaker replied as she excused herself. "Oh, maybe Miss. Rena is warming up the food," said Ms. Risa in a playful monologue. Barra just chose to be indifferent as if he didn't care about what the caretaker had just said. Not much was discussed by the GM and the owner of the orphanage. Moreover, Barra did not like to chat much and preferred to answer
"Please take Mr. Barra to the guest room," said Mrs. Risa, to which Aji, the caretaker immediately agreed. Having just walked a few steps away from Serena and Mrs. Risa, the handsome GM again distracted the two women who were still occupying the room. "Sir, are you -" "I'm fine, ma'am," Barra said, cutting the owner off. Without waiting for any response, the GM walked back to follow Aji who was going to take him to rest for the night. His footsteps halted when he realized they had reached their destination. While waiting for Aji to open the door, Barra again swept his gaze around the orphanage area which had turned quiet. Although there was a dim light illuminating the terrace, Barra couldn't deny that she was
