Quirino growled and let go of Morana's right wrist and used her free hand to hold her head so she couldn't bite him.
"What the hell are you biting me!" This time Quirino let go of Morana's other hand and pushed her body away, of course not with all his strength to make the woman fall but enough to make her stop.
Morana said nothing more but, her black eyes seemed to say; so what's your decision?
"Come with me, but don't make noise." Quirino waved his hand, signaling Morana to follow him.
What else could he do in the middle of the night like this except let her in? Quirino will think about this matter later after he returns from campus tomorrow.
Quirino should have been able to open a hotel room for Morana, but somehow he felt more comfortable when Morana was under his supervision.
Who knows what she thinks and will do when alone? She's the type of person who doesn't think twice before taking action or making decisions, for example, like now…
The two of them entered Quirino's boarding house, walking slowly and as quietly as possible so as not to cause noise or attract attention.
Not only would Quirino get in trouble if he was caught bringing a woman into his room, but if his parents found out, he couldn’t imagine what his father would do to him.
It was only after Quirino closed the door of his room, after Morana entered, and made sure no one saw him, that Quirino could breathe a sigh of relief.
However, his trepidation hadn't gone away yet, when he turned around to find Morana casually opening his wardrobe.
"What are you doing opening my closet?" Quirino hissed as he walked quickly to Morana, his long footsteps and the size of the room that was not too wide, made Quirino arrive in front of Morana almost at the same time as the end of his question.
"I want to borrow clothes." Morana answered without guilt while taking a plain white shirt from the closet and Quirino's dark blue boxer shorts.
"Please, at least you have some shame." Quirino covered his face with his palms, frustrated when he saw Morana waving boxers and white shirts right in front of his eyes. "You want to wear my clothes?"
"I didn't bring anything with me and I also haven't showered since morning. I don't want to wear the same clothes." Morana frowned at the thought of having to sleep in the same clothes when she came.
Quirino who was at a loss for words in response to Morana just waved towards the bathroom located in the corner of his room, as if to say; Okay, shower!
Morana calmly walked towards the bathroom while grabbing Quirino's towel which was hanging not far from there.
Great!
Not only did Morana wear his shirt and boxer, but Quirino also had to share towels with her.
But, that's not all Quirino's main problem, because when he heard the sound of water from the bathroom, the image of Morana, who was not wearing a single cloth, crossed his mind.
Makes his heart flutter wildly.
Morana…
What is this woman really up to?
After finishing, Morana came out of the bathroom wearing Quirino's t-shirt and boxers.
Her long, waist-length hair and black as night, wet because she decided to wash it.
"Do you have a hairdryer?" Morana asked while trying to dry her hair with a towel.
Drops of water that fell from her hair, soaked Quirino's white shirt she was wearing.
Really, a sight like this was not something Quirino expected!
"No, I don't have one." Quirino replied while looking away, he tried to find something interesting to watch, but nothing could take his mind off Morana's current figure.
"How come you don't have one?" Morana grumbled a little as she continued to dry her hair with the towel.
"You think I need a hairdryer?" Quirino brushed off his short hair. "Guys don't need stuff like that."
This time Morana did not answer, she casually sat on the edge of the bed beside Quirino.
Quirino's room is not too big, but very comfortable and neat, with a balcony and bathroom inside can make the occupants feel at home.
Not to mention Quirino's habit of always being organized, so all things are in their place.
Quirino is not like most guys who have messy rooms, you could say Quirino is ‘slicker’ than Morana herself.
No one knew since when Quirino looked at Morana beside him. Starting from the curves of her body, the line of her face, the small changes in her facial expression to the water droplets that flowed down her white and slender neck.
It was Morana who came to Quirino, and now they were both in his room, sitting on Quirino's bed, if anything happened, no one would know and it would not be Quirino's fault entirely.
If something happens…
Morana is the most beautiful and attractive woman Quirino has ever met, although there are many beautiful women out there with pleasant personalities but somehow none of them can beat Morana's charm in Quirino's eyes.
There is something in her that makes Quirino want to always be near her and know the slightest information about her.
"Why are you looking at me?" Morana glanced at Quirino next to her through the wet curtain of her hair that fell to the side of her face.
But, not the answer that Morana got, but Quirino's hands that grabbed both sides of her face and pulled her gently.
It was a mystery what possessed Quirino and what spell clouded his mind when he pressed his lips to Morana's cold lips.
He gently caressed Morana's cheek with his thumb while biting the lower lip of the woman he had claimed to be his since a year ago.
This is their first kiss because so far, both Morana and Quirino, have never taken his words seriously about their relationship.
Even though Quirino doesn't realize it, he's been acting like a boyfriend to Morana all this time.
Quirino walked down the corridor of the hospital, every step he took seemed to have its own meaning for him. Every step brought him closer to Morana. Every step is filled with regret, anger, disappointment and other feelings that Quirino cannot explain in words. He was really angry when he learned that Daniel had sent Morana to a mental health institution without her consent. How come? When Quirino last met Morana and their relationship was still pretty good, Morana didn't show anything. Except for the fact that she had visited Dr. Sherry, for several meetings, everything seemed fine with her. Quirino knew this because at that time, he had ordered several people to follow Morana because she suddenly disappeared and her whereabouts was unknown. There were no indications that Morana needed to be treated. Hence, how could Morana end up in a place like this now?! Something is wrong with Daniel and Morana's relationship! Quirino wouldn't have left Morana if he knew Daniel would take
As Daniel had expected, Quirino was waiting for him in his study.Daniel stood frozen in the doorway, stared at Quirino's back which was turned away from him, stared at his row of medical books, but it seemed that he was only doing that so that he would have something to do.Because even though Quirino heard the sound of the study door opening and closing and Daniel's footsteps echoing in the empty room, he remained unmoved and still did not turn around.Even though the conversation hasn't started and Quirino still refuses to look at him, Daniel knows and understands that the six months that have passed have not changed anything about Quirino and his feelings for Morana."Quirino," said Daniel who then walked over to his brother. He stopped just a few steps away from him, not sure if he should approach him any closer.Quirino slowly turned his body and when their gazes met, everything became foreign to both of them. It was as if they were no longer the two brothers who were very close
Quirino doesn't know whether his decision is right or not, but one thing is certain, he wants to return.It was a desire he had harbored for a long time and now he has a reason to return.The only reason he wanted to come back.After yesterday's call, Quirino was very sure that it was Morana's voice. It must be her voice. Quirino knows her voice very well.Even though Morana didn't say much and only said his name, Quirino could feel the despair that the girl was facing, just from one sentence.Was it because Quirino had overly interpreted this brief moment? Or was this just his delusion because he kept thinking about Morana?Whatever the reason and somehow with how Quirino felt he decided to return, and whatever it was… here Quirino was, waiting impatiently on his flight.Quirino felt that he was really crazy, with just that one word and Quirino had run as fast as he could to approach Morana.Quirino knew that what Morana used was his brother's number and how Morana spoke in a whisper
"Sorry, I can't." Quirino said in a hoarse voice to Silvi who was already half naked underneath.After saying that, Quirino immediately got up from his position on top of Silvi's body and then picked up his shirt which had been scattered on the floor.Silvi widened her eyes when she felt the weight of Quirino's warm body leaving her.They haven't even started yet and Quirino is about to leave? How can he be so cold?Silvi immediately buttoned up the shirt she was wearing and then ran after Quirino who was about to leave her apartment."Quirino!" Silvi, who was only wearing a shirt and underwear, immediately ran into Quirino's back and hugged him tightly, pressing her face against the man's broad back.Quirino was not surprised, did not resist or move in response, he just stood there, frozen. Letting Silvi say what she wants to say."Quirino, give me a chance," said Silvi with suppressed tears.All this time Silvi thought Quirino was the right man for her, that their social status was
Silvi pulled Quirino's neck and tried to kiss him, but Quirino quickly pulled away from her and pushed her body away.Quirino didn't think she was a woman and couldn't control his strength when he tried to avoid her. Letting her fall down.This made Silvi groan in pain, but Quirino paid no heed to it and left, slamming the door of his study when he came out.Turns out that putting Silvi back in her position wasn't a good idea, but got her fired again would only provoke his father's anger and that was the last thing Quirino wanted in the midst of this endless turmoil in his heart.Tonight it looks like he will spend his time at the bar again...Only by drinking some alcohol was Quirino able to escape from Morana's shadow, even if it was only for a moment… it didn't matter, even if only for a moment Quirino wanted to enjoy his own life without the disturbance of the woman who had become his brother's.Morana… how are you…?Quirino's heart whispered softly.# # # Quirino woke up with hi
Too long…Morana has been gone too long.Daniel felt something was wrong and his suspicions were later confirmed by the commotion that occurred in the toilet, where Morana had gone.Immediately Daniel got out of the car and headed for the women's restroom which Morana had entered and found Morana's body had been carried by a man.From Morana's arm, there was a cut that was still bleeding.Among the crowd that surrounded her, Morana saw Daniel who was charging forward while pushing several people in front of her while saying something that Morana couldn't catch.Every sound around her was ringing painfully and all Morana felt was a numb feeling.The last thing Morana remembered was looking into Daniel's eyes.One word that can describe the man right now is; Fright.For a moment Morana was happy to see the fear in his eyes, that means he still cares right?But then, when Morana blinked, the darkness that covered her made her stay there.Cold and silent darkness.A familiar place for her
