Semua Bab When Hate Falls in Love : Bab 91 - Bab 100

The cheers grew louder.Aurora handed the baton to the third runner with precision, then stopped at the side of the track, her chest rising and falling rapidly, but a satisfied smile adorned her face. She turned to Rafael, who was standing a few meters ahead, still waiting for his turn.Their eyes met for a moment. No words were spoken, only enthusiastic glances.When the baton reached the fourth runner and was finally handed to the last runner, all eyes were on two people: Rafael and Kevin. They stood side by side, baton in hand, breathing heavily, legs slightly bent, ready to charge.No words were spoken, no glances exchanged.The whistle signaling the start for the final runner had not yet sounded, but the tension was already palpable.As soon as the signal was given, Rafael and Kevin sprinted off together. Sand flew again, footprints imprinted quickly. Rafael was slightly behind at first, but his body began to balance his stride. Kevin, who had lost three times in previous games,

Night fell gently, bringing with it a gentle sea breeze and the scent of burning wood from the large bonfire in the middle of the dining area. Hanging lamps swayed gently among the trees, creating a dim light that made the atmosphere feel warm and relaxed. Acoustic music flowed from the corner of the small stage, filling the air with soothing rhythms.Some employees began to gather around the bonfire. Some sat in a circle, laughing as they held roasted corn. Others danced on the sand, singing along to the music being played. The atmosphere felt carefree, as if all the burdens of work and the pressures of routine had melted away in the warmth of the night.Aurora stood near the villa window, watching the crowd from afar. Her ears picked up the sound of singing and familiar laughter."Come on, let's go over there," she said, turning to Rafael, who was sitting on the sofa with his left leg in a white cast and a cane by his side.Rafael looked up, his hazel eyes half-lazy. "I'm good here.

The morning sky slowly opened its curtains, emitting an orange light that touched the treetops and the calm surface of the sea. The air was still cool, leaving dew on the leaves and slightly damp sand. Aurora walked slowly along the shore, letting her feet sink slightly into the warm sand that was beginning to be touched by the sun's rays. Her hands were folded in front of her body, her steps slow, as if she were calming her thoughts.She stopped when she found a comfortable spot to stand. Her gaze fixed on the eastern horizon, where the sun slowly emerged from behind the horizon, casting a golden hue over the sea. The sea breeze gently caressed her hair, and in silence, Aurora took a deep breath.Footsteps approached from behind. Aurora turned slowly and found Kevin standing a few meters away. He was wearing a thin hoodie and casual pants, his hair disheveled as if he had just woken up."Why are you walking alone so early in the morning?" Kevin asked lightly, walking closer.Aurora n

Morning dawned gently, sunlight slipping through the cracks in the bedroom curtains, slowly sweeping the walls and floor with inviting warmth. In Rafael's still half-dark room, Aurora walked slowly toward the large bed where Rafael lay, his body still submerged in thick blankets and his breathing steady. He looked peaceful, his hair disheveled, and his face almost like that of a tired child after a day of play.Aurora smiled softly, then sat on the edge of the bed. "Rafael, wake up," she whispered gently, gently tapping his shoulder. There was no response. She tried again, this time with a slightly louder voice. "Hey, Mr. Director, the sun is already high."Rafael only stirred briefly, then mumbled without opening his eyes, "Too early."Aurora chuckled. "Early from where? It's already nine o'clock, Rafael. You're sleeping like a baby."The man still didn't open his eyes, but one of his hands moved out from under the blanket, reaching toward Aurora's voice. "Come closer," he murmured.

After finishing dinner, Aurora wiped her lips with a napkin and sighed contentedly. "Oh my... it was so delicious."Rafael, who had also just put down his spoon, nodded as he leaned back in his chair. "I told you so. It tastes the same as the last time we were here."Aurora looked at Rafael with a smile. "Thank you for bringing me here. I like it.""If you like it, I like it even more." Rafael returned her smile, then glanced out the window. "Want to take a short walk? The small park at the end of the block is pretty quiet and cool."Aurora nodded. "Sure. But walk slowly, okay? Your leg isn't fully healed yet."Rafael stood up slowly, supported by the cane propping up his still-injured leg. Aurora walked beside him, her hand instinctively reaching out to grip Rafael's arm to keep him from losing his balance.The night was calm. The sky was dotted with stars, though faintly visible due to the city lights. The evening breeze gently swept across their faces as t
