Under Pressure

Langit shot Bintang a cold glare, making her swallow hard as guilt crawled back into her chest.The fallen cake box had landed on Langit’s shoe, prompting him to shift his foot aside until the box lay completely overturned on the pavement.“Ruined, huh? What a shame. Fortunately, you can always buy or make another one,” Langit sneered, a crooked smile tugging at his lips.Bintang remained silent, listening to his words, fully aware of what her ex-boyfriend truly meant.Laras caught the hatred in Langit’s eyes, only now realizing that his departure back then had been because of Bintang.“Let’s go, Ras. We’re leaving.” Langit urged Laras away from Bintang.Laras hadn’t spoken to Bintang in a long time—ever since she began resenting her for being in a relationship with Langit. She followed him willingly, her real intention being to talk to him and grow close again.Bintang stayed rooted to her spot, staring down at the box on the pavement. Its contents were ruined—there was no way to pic

Heartache

Orion panicked the moment his sister collapsed. With his tall, solid build—so much larger than hers, he immediately gathered her frail body into his arms. He rushed out of the room and down the stairs, shouting urgently.“Mom, Dad! Bin fainted!” he yelled, desperate to get her to the hospital.Arlan hurried out of his room upon hearing Orion’s shout, and Annetha, who had been in the dining room, rushed over as well.“What happened?” Annetha asked, terrified at the sight of Bintang in Orion’s arms.“She suddenly fainted, Mom. We have to take her to the hospital,” Orion said.Arlan ran outside to get the car ready while Annetha followed Orion, who carried Bintang anxiously.Annetha’s panic grew. After so many years, why had Bintang relapsed so badly that she fainted again? Her eyes were already brimming with tears.**Bintang was taken to the hospital, now being treated in the ER.“What happened to her, Ion? Why did she faint?” Annetha asked, unable to hold back her grief.“I don’t know

Treated in the Hospital

The room felt quiet, with only the occasional sound of footsteps passing by outside and wheels scraping against the floor.Bintang began to move her eyelids. Her head felt heavy, and her face was extremely pale. She tried to open her eyes, blinking faintly at the unfamiliar ceiling above her.“You’re awake.”The voice she knew so well reached her ears. Bintang turned and saw Anta sitting in the chair beside her bed.“Anta, where am I?” Bintang asked, having forgotten what had happened to her. Her body was still weak, and even her voice was faint.“You’re in the hospital,” Anta replied.Bintang raised a hand to press her aching head, only to notice the IV line attached to her arm.“I’ll call the doctor,” Anta said, pressing the emergency button to summon a nurse.Bintang’s vision blurred, so she chose to remain silent and wait for the doctor to check on her.Anta waited anxiously. The night before, Orion had called to tell him that Bintang had fainted and was now hospitalized, promptin

Binding Promise

Anta left the hospital after Annetha and Arlan arrived. He actually wanted to tell Langit what had happened to Bintang, but his promise prevented him from doing anything. Bintang was too stubborn to accept any advice.He turned his car toward a small eatery, intending to buy breakfast before heading to his café. He parked on the side of the road, stepped out, and walked toward the place.While walking and scrolling through his phone, Anta reached for the doorknob without looking and accidentally bumped into someone who had just stepped out.“Sorry.” Anta froze when he saw who he had run into.Laras had just finished breakfast there and stiffened when she saw Anta.“Anta.” Laras tried to smile at him.But unfortunately, Anta didn’t respond the same way. As if he didn’t know her, he gave her a cold look and walked inside without a word.Laras stood still, watching Anta’s indifference. She turned and looked at his back. It was always like this. Every time she accidentally ran into him, h

The Reason Their Friendship Fell Apart

Anta sat with his arms crossed, turning his face away as if he refused to look at the person sitting across from him. “How have you been, Ta?” Laras finally broke the silence after a long, heavy quiet filled the room. “Did you come here just to ask how I am? You can see it yourself, I’m doing great, my business is successful. What else do you want to ask?” Anta replied with a slightly curt tone, then moved his head to finally look at Laras. Laras gave a faint, bitter smile at Anta’s response. The man who had once been close to her, who had always been there for her, had now grown cold and indifferent. It made her uncomfortable, to the point where they barely spoke even when they crossed paths. She forced herself to come see Anta, because she felt they needed to talk. “Are you still angry at me?” Laras asked softly. Anta looked at her with clear displeasure, thinking she was using that soft tone just to sway him. “What do you think? Honestly, I have no real reason to be angry at

Wants to Talk

Langit stopped walking when he heard Bintang’s words, releasing his hold on Laras’s hand. He turned around and met Bintang’s gaze. Bintang panicked but tried to remain calm. She had resolved to talk to him, hoping to finally settle the unresolved issue between them. Langit walked toward her, his eyes never leaving her face. Bintang swallowed hard, feeling his stare weigh heavily on her. Laras watched them closely from a short distance away, unable to hear what Langit and Bintang might be discussing. “What do you want to talk about?” Langit asked once he stood before her. “There are a few things. I just want—” Bintang’s words were quickly cut off by him. “I don’t like talking in public, especially about personal matters.” Bintang was startled. He used to patiently wait for her to speak before saying anything himself. “So where do you want to talk? A café or a restaurant?” she asked. “Neither,” he replied with a faint smirk. Bintang raised an eyebrow. If not either of those,

Wanting to Fix the Relationship

“Tattoo? He tattooed his body? And that ….” Bintang paused, walking with her eyes fixed on Langit’s shoulder.They finally entered the elevator, with Bintang standing behind him, her gaze unable to leave the tattoo inked on the man in front of her.'Why would Langit tattoo a star on his shoulder?' she wondered silently.Langit stood relaxed, unfazed and unashamed even though he was shirtless. His body was often seen by many people during summer when he sunbathed at the beach; being seen at a hotel this time meant nothing to him.They walked down the hallway toward the room Langit had booked. When he entered, Bintang hesitated again, unsure whether she should follow.He won’t do anything bad to me … right? For some reason, negative thoughts spun through her mind.Langit stopped, glancing back at Bintang still frozen at the doorway.“If you’re unsure, then don’t come in.”His firm voice snapped her out of her thoughts. She stared at his retreating back, as if he didn’t care whether she

Relapse

Bintang was stunned by what Langit did, especially when he grabbed her and pinned her against the wall. Her heart pounded rapidly, and the fact that he was shirtless only made her hold her breath when his masculine scent hit her nose. “You always assume your decisions are the best for everyone. But have you ever once asked for someone else’s opinion?” Langit asked, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on her. Their distance was so close that Langit had to lean down slightly to look directly into the face of his former lover. Bintang didn’t answer. She only stared back at him while biting her lip. “Why so quiet? Weren’t you talking a lot earlier?” Langit had released her arm, but moved both hands to the wall beside her head, trapping her in place. “Because I feel it really was the best,” Bintang finally replied. Speaking made her inhale more of his masculine scent. As they held each other’s gaze, Bintang began to feel discomfort in her body. Her temperature was rising; her condition

A Mission from Langit

Desi was startled by Langit’s question, but because she needed the money, she nodded quickly. “You don’t need to sell your body anymore, work for me. Just keep an eye on what Bintang does, follow her, and report everything to me. I’ll pay you twice what you earn from entertaining those men. Can you do that?” Langit asked. Aside from gathering information about Bintang, he was also helping Desi so she wouldn’t have to sell herself anymore. Langit liked playing around with women, but he hated knowing there were women being forced to serve men. Of course, Desi was excited. Following and watching Bintang outside the office wasn’t difficult for her at all. She agreed to the job and accepted Langit’s offer, especially since he paid her in advance for work she hadn’t even done yet. Desi truly monitored where Bintang went, what she did, and whom she met. “She went to a coffee shop and ordered hot chocolate and a sandwich as usual.” She watched like a spy, unnoticed by Bintang. D

Still Not Honest

Langit continued staring at Bintang. She wasn’t unconscious—she only shut her eyes because of the pain attacking her. Worry lined his face, and countless questions spun in his mind.Bintang tightened her eyelids, trying to endure the sudden fever that struck her. Her body felt weak even though she wanted to open her eyes. She was aware when Langit removed her blazer; for a moment she feared he would do something bad to her, but that didn’t happen. She only felt him lifting the sleeve of her shirt before he released her arm.Seeing that she looked like she was trying to open her eyes, Langit reached out and touched her forehead with the back of his hand.Bintang had just opened her eyes when her blurry vision met the gaze of the man touching her forehead.“Your fever has gone down,” Langit said.Bintang didn’t answer. Her gaze stayed locked on him. She cursed herself silently, questioning why she had to relapse in front of Langit like this—it felt like exposing a secret she had worked
