"He built a greenhouse for you?" Jim's first reaction when Angel told him what Dave had done was, to his great surprise. "Is that so, Angel?""Now the greenhouse is finished, and he's offered to drive me to buy some unique varieties to fill the greenhouse." Angel held her breath as her eyes glanced at the beauty of the greenhouse that now stood tall and luxurious, reflecting the sunlight that made it sparkle.Jim seemed pensive on the other side. "Are you sure that Dave did it sincerely without any intentions behind it?""I do not know."Angel herself had her doubts, but so far, Dave had been really nice to her. The man took care of her, always asked her condition and no more hurtful harsh words. Angel suddenly realized that Dave was serious about what he said that because of the arrival of their baby, he would change his attitude.Although his attitude did not return to the loving attitude he showed before marrying Angel, at least Dave had appreci

However, as soon as Dave's car left the house, Angel called Jim."Dave is gone. I'm going out with a private driver with the excuse of buying some varieties of plants for the greenhouse; you can meet me at Moon Cafe.""Okay. Be careful, Angel,” Jim mumbled briefly then he hang up the phone.Angel really bought several varieties of plants, and then asked to be delivered to Moon Cafe,"You can leave me for a while. I'll probably be sitting in this cafe for a while, while you can go rest and have lunch," Angel muttered, hoping the driver would take her advice.The driver was stunned. In the early days of Mr. Dave's marriage to Mrs. Angel, Mr. Dave loudly said that he had to watch over and follow Mrs. Angel wherever she went. However, since Mrs. Angel's pregnancy, Mr. Dave really relaxed the rules he made, even Mr. Dave once ordered him to let Miss Angel relax, enjoy her time alone. Mr. Dave's only message is that he must report it to Mr. Dave in

They entered the big house with high fences. Angel looked at the house and admired it. The building was like a well-maintained and luxurious Dutch colonial building, and the garden, the wide front garden, is very beautiful and well-maintained. Angel glanced at Jim, if it was Jim who was in charge of taking care of this garden, he would take care of it with all his heart because the garden is truly, incredibly beautiful."Come on." Jim half led her into the house.Angel followed slowly behind him, alert. Her mind raced. What is the girl named Daisy like? What will her reaction when she sees Angel? Will she get angry and hurt Angel? Or will she be sad and cry like Angel's first reaction when she found out about  Daisy? Has Daisy known about Angel for a long time? Or is she the same as Angel? Not knowing each other's whereabouts?Angel was too preoccupied with her thoughts to notice how comfortable Jim was moving around in the house, as if the man had grown ac

The feeling of loss is not something that time heals easily. The pain was still the same as new even after so many weeks. Angel doubted that she would be able to ease these feelings; relieve her gnawing pain even after so many years have passed.Angel refuses to come out of her room for days, has no appetite or grooms herself. Most of the day, her mind felt empty. She did it on purpose because every time she forced her brain to think, then the figure of the baby who did not succeed in being born into the world will land in her mind and her heart will feel like being squeezed by pseudo hands again and again.The door suddenly opened, but Angel's attention was not distracted, she kept her eyes fixed on the window with her white blinds fluttering in the wind.“Angel, have lunch.”It was Dave's voice. The man was standing behind the door he had just closed, staring at Angel's back with a co

The cold dew from the waves hitting the sand hard hit Angel's face. She smiled very broadly, letting the sea breeze hit her face. Even though it was cold, Angel didn't protest. The sky was dark, the sun was hiding behind thick clouds.From behind, Dave approached Angel and draped his jacket over the woman's body.“Even though the weather was quite sunny earlier, but when we got here it suddenly became cloudy. Aren't you cold?”Angel shook her head, then raised her gaze to the sky, confirming Dave's words.“Ten minutes. After that, we go,” Dave said with gentle firmness.“Hm,” said Angel. Although she wanted to stay longer, she complied when Dave finally pulled her hand away from the shore to their car, the ten minutes the man had given her passed. Right after that, raindrops started to fall.“Good thing we're already inside,” said Angel as she peeked through the window into the darkening sky.
