Not all beautiful women have a happy storyline... Beauty is a wound... Not everyone can pass through the wound with a smile. ****The night was cold like no other night before. Tessa looked down and sat in a daze, not moving for hours as she left the window and balcony curtains wide open. The sound of the waves could be heard, normally she would fall asleep easily. But the past four days had been excruciating. Swallowing a piece of bread was so difficult, that all Tessa could do was stay still. There was no light in her apartment, everything was pitch black.Crying wouldn't change anything. So, she would not cry anymore, it was enough that her pitiful cries could be heard in the hospital hallway. Unable to re-imagine how painful everything was, taken away so quickly.The stitches on her stomach hadn't fully healed, and what tormented Tessa even more was that her breast milk kept flowing, but there was nowhere to put it. The baby who was supposed to see the world was declared dead t
"Tessa goodbye." A woman with back-length hair waved as they passed each other in the corridor."Bye Alice take care." Tessa waved back as the woman walked a short distance away from her.It was exactly two in the morning. Tessa had just finished all of her business which was so busy and time-consuming every day. The makeup on her face had been removed, her shoulder-length hair was also tied up with the original splash. Tessa walked out through the glass doors of the hospital where she devoted her life to the health and healing of her fellow humans. That was the content of the oath she took in a room so large. In toga clothes about five years ago.Being 32 years old is quite mature, isn't it? That's what other people often say to her, people say that Tessa has gotten everything she wants one of them by becoming a surgeon with the shortest time and the best graduate.But don't others know there's no need to know. What a complicated journey it had been to get to this stage, everything s
Days may pass.Years may also pass.Time cannot be turned back.Likewise, wounds cannot be healed with time.Everything remains the same! Only the way of seeing is different.****"Athena..."Tessa removed her hand from the small body. The little girl, whose name turned out to be Athena, ran a little towards the man on the other end Tessa and the man were only two meters apart.His body was frozen. A smile was no longer on Tessa's lips as she tried to stand on her legs that felt like they were turning to jelly, feeling pricked as the small hand grasped Axel's."Daddy.""Hmm." Axel took his eyes off the woman in front of him and focused on his daughter."Athena fell Daddy? Look at her injured hand.""Let Daddy see." Axel bent his knee to look at the small wound on Athena's body.Tessa turned around and chose to leave Axel. She didn't think there was anything that should make her greet Axel, she didn't miss Axel anymore, and everything was covered with hatred."Tessa."Tessa stopped whe
Seven years have flown by, but every step Tessa has taken has been one she hasn't forgotten. No matter what happened in her past, her feet had arrived in the city of Seattle.The city of wounds.Tessa pulled her suitcase out of the airport. she didn't expect to be greeted like everyone else who seemed to be hugging happily. she went alone so Tessa would come back alone too.Her eyes only looked forward. The sunglasses and mask covering her face were almost unrecognizable, plus the black hat covering her head. Her style was completely casual, wearing only a plain white t-shirt and jeans with rips at the knees. He stopped out front, waiting for a taxi that could take him to an address. "Tessa." Deg...Tessa's heart stopped in place as her eyes blurred, seeing Axel's face standing in the distance with the girl holding his right hand.Tessa tried to swallow her saliva to clear her suddenly choked throat. She had to get used to this from now on because that was what she had come back for
"You're awake."The baritone voice came back as Tessa's footsteps came out of her room. Tessa thought Axel had gone to work, but he was still at the dining table with his little daughter. "Hmm." Tessa just mumbled that she didn't know what to do. Because it felt, well, too foreign. "Sit down, let's eat together." Axel stood up from his seat and pulled out a chair for Tessa to sit on. Tessa was silent as Axel returned the sweet gesture that made her feel Dejavu. Instead of sitting in the chair Axel had prepared, Tessa chose to pull out a new chair for herself. This meant that she wanted to show Axel she would no longer follow his requests.Axel was silent when he saw Tessa sitting in another chair. Meanwhile, he had high hopes before. But Axel covered his disappointment with a big smile as he walked to the pantry picked up a glass of chocolate milk and poured it into a glass cup. Tessa noticed there was already one glass of chocolate milk on the table. Then why would Axel bring bac
Tessa looked at the branded bag in front of her. Tessa was looking for an expensive bag that would be a special gift, on Dara's birthday. It was the witch's birthday tomorrow and of course, Tessa wasn't going to miss the opportunity to show her face in front of Dara."May I help you, Miss?" Tessa turned her head and saw the shop assistant approaching her, Tessa smiled slightly. "Recommend which bag you think is suitable for a woman in her 60s?" Tessa asked the waitress who immediately touched one of the bags in the glass display case.A light brown bag that Tessa had looked at before, the waiter's hand took the bag out, from the glass display case and showed it to Tessa."What do you think Miss? This colored bag is a trend among women in the 60s Vintage and luxurious." The waitress again explained to Tessa the advantages which, according to Tessa, were very appropriate for Dara's use. "Okay, I'll buy this. But, please break the inside." Tessa immediately took out her Black card an
"Why did he come back!!!" Dara clutched the expensive dress she was wearing.Her eyes stared intently at the gifts she received on her birthday. However, one gift in between remained the highlight of Dara's eyes. It was from a woman whom Dara never expected to reappear and dare to appear in front of her and Xander. Dara thought Tessa was long dead! Since the incident seven years ago she had completely disappeared from the face of the earth.One thing Dara always remembered. That woman Tessa looked different, more like she was staring at Dara with a glint that Dara found very dangerous. I wondered what that cheap woman would do to her life.Dara walked over to the table and picked up the paper bag that she recognized as an expensive brand. Dara ventured to see what Tessa had given her, her hand opening the box and touching the expensive bag that looked beautiful inside.This bag had been Dara's lyrics last Sunday. However, she didn't expect to get it from that cheap woman Tessa. Dara t
Tessa opened her eyes. The atmosphere of Grandma Camelia's house was so soothing, that Tessa didn't go home to Axel last night. She chose to stay over at Grandma's house as she heard many things and learned many new facts. Tessa lifted her arms to stretch before her feet slid off the wooden bed, which had a soft mosquito net. Tessa's feet treaded on the fur rug that felt so soft, her feet continued to step through the balcony window and up to the boundary fence. The cool, fresh atmosphere was so tranquil. Grandma Camelia's house was very vintage. There were still many furniture, decorations, and colors that had an 80s vibe in front of the balcony. Roses and various other flowers look beautiful on the balcony. Tessa heard the sound of her cell phone. She turned her body around, left the balcony, and walked to the bed. Trying to find her cell phone among the many pillows, Tessa finally found hers.Tessa's breath seemed to stop as she saw Hardin's name on the line. It's so hard to swa
