Chapter 22The atmosphere at the airport seemed crowded even though it was already midnight. Edwin stood staring at the arrival where his only sister was walking towards him with one hand dragging a large suitcase with a paper bag hanging beside it.The girl looked around for the whereabouts of her lover who promised to pick her up."Who are you looking for, Kirana? Your handsome brother is already standing in front of you," said Edwin with a big smile, making Kirana glare at him. But a split second later, pinched Edwin's cheek in exasperation while hugging the man tightly.Kirana has spent almost ten days abroad, because of her desire to see beauty in other parts of the world."Why did my brother pick me up? Even though I was hoping for someone," he said with a disappointed face, when the man who was expected to pick him up, did not see the bridge of his nose at all."Are you waiting for someone else? Ugh, it's a waste of two ho

Chapter 24Ernawati 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 tell

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 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 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.
