Chapter 24
Ernawati parted the curtains in the six by six square meter room so that direct sunlight entered the room. Don't forget to open the window, so that clean air can enter to replace the stuffy air in the room."Wake up, Kirana, it's noon. You don't want to miss breakfast together, do you." Ernawati came close to touch her daughter's hair and then rubbed her head affectionately. Kirana, who came home late at night, did not have time to meet her mother because she did not want to disturb her rest. However, the girl really missed her mother, especially because she had just returned to Wijaya's residence, after three years choosing to be alone in the village to calm her mind."Good morning my beautiful mother," she muttered, blinking his eyes from the glare. The almost twenty year old girl immediately kissed her mother's cheek, which Erna returned with a hug on her shoulder."Go to the bathroom and clean yourself up, because I'm going to tellChapter 25The atmosphere that morning should have been more pleasant because the whole family was in the same house. But in reality it is not. Kirana who was sitting on the dining chair looked at the presence of two people walking hand in hand towards her place. His focus and attention was on the woman behind her own brother, who was looking down with a bulging stomach. Even Melati's hands were intertwined, a sign that the woman was afraid of the gaze of the girl in front of her. Even though Ernawati and Candra told her to sit down and enjoy her breakfast, in fact Kirana's sharp gaze made Melati uncomfortable.Edwin, who saw his sister's unkind gaze, immediately cleared his throat and lightened the atmosphere by handing out some food for Kirana to enjoy."Ten days abroad will definitely make you miss Indonesian specialties. Eat it, Kirana. You know, this mother's cooking must have made it special to welcome you." Edwin put down a piece of his si
Chapter 26"Why is your face suddenly gloomy, Ed?" Jovan looked at the unusual face of his best friend and boss. The man even massaged his heavy head."I guess because I didn't get enough sleep last night, or I don't know," replied Edwin simply. But his chest felt uncharacteristically restless. However, work must come first and he must follow procedures and review his projects in other cities."If only I was in power, I would tell you to stay home and read the newspaper. But it can't be like that, the project in Surabaya requires your presence there to monitor and see their activities. And as I have investigated previously, there is a flow of funds that 's been used improperly, and it goes into some people's pockets and puts our project on the line a bit. We've almost lost a few digits, and the numbers keep pouring in regularly, Ed." Jovan said at length, explaining one more time for Edwin to understand. Even though she guessed that the man who had just le
Chapter 27"Why do we have to go anyway, Mom. I just want to stay at home. Besides, I'm too lazy to meet Aunt Anita and Uncle Teguh." Kirana pursed her lips when Ernawati insisted on asking her to go to her uncle and aunt's house."Kirana, mother can't bear to refuse their invitation. Besides, what's wrong with getting together once in a while considering that you haven't seen them again after three years. After all, Vienna and your grandfather went to the hospital, so it's okay."Kirana remembers Melati. A good opportunity to leave him alone in that big house."Okay, if you insist," added Kirana while getting ready.The two of them walked towards the yard, where a white car was ready to take them off. Before actually driving, Ernawati looked up where Melati's room was brightly lit. Previously he knocked softly on the door to say goodbye, but the pregnant woman did not answer his words. And Ernawati understands that Melati is not used to it.******The sound of footsteps made Melati o
Chapter 28Edwin's eyes darkened, staring intently at the two of them. When the man almost accepted Melati, if the woman wanted to change slowly. But what he saw now seemed to explain who Melati and the man in front of her really were. A despicable couple who do perverts do not deserve his sympathy. And what's even more embarrassing is what the two of them did in their own room. Whoever is in his position, will definitely not stand still and will act anarchically.The man immediately carried Melati in his arms, then passed Edwin whose hands were still clenched into fists, who seemed reluctant to watch the two pass. Edwin looked away in extreme disgust.Suddenly the light came on. Which instantly made the place ablaze.Meanwhile, the man immediately carried Melati to his car. Jovan, who had just returned from behind, saw someone swiftly passing not far from where he was standing.Unfortunately, he didn't get to see the man's face, but Edwin's growl and shout from upstairs made his att
Chapter 29"Wake up, Mel, you've been asleep for too long. Don't you want to look at me and scold a coward like me? Wake up and say whatever's on your heart." Pabian looked down with bloodshot eyes. I can't bear to see the condition of the woman who is struggling with the pain. If only he had fulfilled his promise to Melati, of course they would be happy now and Melati would not have to live in Edwin's house, which unfortunately is also the house occupied by Kirana, his lover.Their relationship is very good, until Pabian promises marriage to cover up the shame that Melati feels. He wanted to comfort her as best he could and be her protector. However, when the wedding day arrived, he disappointed Melati."Leave and don't bother him. Go back to your room and rest!" Edwin pulled the man's shirt away. Immediately let go of the hands of the two as if they felt uncomfortable.In front of Edwin, Pabian did not dare to challenge. The man looked
Chapter 30Melati woke up at last as the sun was about to reach the west end. The dim twilight soon came when Edwin decided to close the windows and curtains and turn on the light so the room wouldn't be pitch black.Melati lay weak. He felt pain all over his body especially in the lower part that was very painful.Fortunately, the lecherous man did not have time to do so until he brought in a savior angel to avoid him from this depraved act."Melati, are you awake?" Edwin came closer and looked at the woman who was grimacing. He knew the pain must be raging all over her body. As a man, he also seemed to feel the pain that was felt by him.Melati slowly tried to get up and grabbed her drink, leaving Edwin to tidy up some clothes and reluctant to answer."Let me take care of you," said Edwin again as he approached Melati's bedside, then grabbed the glass and straw, pointing it at Melati's mouth so she could drink it easily.
Chapter 31"Mr. Edwin, you'd better get out first, because we're going to check on the patient. Please." The female nurse said and told her to immediately leave the room where Melati was lying with the remnants of sobs. His heart felt sad and sad to see Melati's current state, even though she didn't know what really happened, but she could feel how deeply she was hurt after what happened to her.Edwin paced around restlessly then when he remembered something, he immediately contacted Jovan. In the third call, the sound immediately connected."Sorry, I just finished taking a shower. What do you want to talk about?" asked Jovan on the other end, knowing that Edwin would call him if there was anything important."Have you checked the CCTV at home? What did you find?" Edwin asked impatiently.Jovan's voice sounded a sigh, before finally speaking again."The CCTV footage showed that during that incident, even the security gu
Chapter 32Edwin went straight to the bathroom in the room where Melati was being treated, after the man received a paper bag containing some clothes for him, which Jonathan ordered directly. The man who is still single even refuses when Edwin wants to replace the costs that have been incurred.Meanwhile Jonathan himself immediately went into his sister's room, where Pabian was pensive, staring at the night sky from the window that was deliberately opened. Apparently, Pabian and Melati's rooms were only a block away.Pabian turned his head, where his brother was standing with his hands in his pants pockets, walking closer to him."From the look on your face, it looks like you've heard the story." Pabian opened his voice. Jonathan nodded, confirming what his brother had said."I met Edwin before I came here." Pabian snorted in annoyance."That guy must be blaming me for everything that happened, right? Even though I'm disappointed
