As usual, Naomi woke up at 5 am and she started helping her father to make their wares. While she was helping her father, Benny hoped that his only child would return to rest because he knew yesterday Naomi had been doing her work until late at night.
However, as usual, Naomi refused and persisted to help her father in making their wares. Naomi stretched her body after she finished making all the meatballs for her father to sell. She glanced at the clock on the wall that wasn’t far from her vision and it was a half-past seven in the morning.
"Alright, just leave it. Let me take care of everything," said Benny to her. Naomi nodded and got up then walked to her room to get a towel for the shower. She couldn’t hide her pleasure as she rubbed her body, she also hummed.
As she enjoyed her shower, she was reminded of a word from Alex that made her stunned,
"Will see you again"
She did not understand what Alex meant by saying it to her, maybe it was
Hello! I wish we're feeling great nowadays! I'm a little bit swamped nowadays with my activity... Please comment and support me to boost my mood XD. Don't forget to find me on Facebook cos I love to chit-chat with you! God bless us!
Naomi was stunned, even when Alex got up from his chair, Naomi was still stunned in her place. Was this meant by meeting again that man once told her? Naomi didn't understand, why did she have to deal with that guy again? What was her sin that she had to meet again with Alex, a guy who had smashed her to pieces? Unexpectedly, that guy came back to her with a sweet promise she could no longer trust. Right now, it was officially that Alex was his boss, it was certain that Alex would use his authority to govern Naomi as he pleased. Naomi closed her eyes, holding back all the feelings that wanted to stick out of her. Naomi’s eyes followed him as he walked closer to her. Alex looked at her with a crooked smile as if he was the one in charge of her right now. He came closer, playing with Naomi’s bangs, which Naomi's hand soon pushed him away. Naomi turned her gaze to Alex’s brown eyes, exactly it was the same eyes that make her once melt. But now she was a
Naomi turned her body and planned to leave that man alone. However, before she left his majestic room, Alex seems drugged her by calling her name. Naomi didn't understand her natural reaction to that voice, moreover, this wasn’t the first time he call her like this before, seems like Alex had the power to influence and dominate whoever he targeted. "Stay here," he ordered to her until she fall silent. Without Naomi’s knowing, Alex walked over to her who was about to open his majestic door, and when she turned around, she already found Alex who locked her with both hands that he put on the door. Naomi had no other way to escape from him. He couldn't even take his eyes off her because Alex was leaning toward Naomi tightly. She swallowed her saliva, from her point of view, this man was still handsome… but no, he looked more handsome than he was in high school. His intimidating brown eyes, high nose, and sharp jawline from the perfect proportions of his face drugged her for a while. His
Author’s POV Naomi never believed in coincidences. What she believes is everything has been designed and arranged by the Almighty to meet each other or stay away from each other. Time goes on and the wheel of life keeps turning. Nothing can reverse a time because the Almighty alone is in control of life. And now she was confronted by a dashing man who was sitting in front of his door. He seemed to be gasping for breath with such a fast breath. The petite girl drew closer to the sharp-eyed man's figure and looked at him from above and below, an appearance that brought her back to her high school days. He had not yet raised his head, but Naomi already knew who the man was. Seeing a pair of feet that were walking towards him, he lifted his head and was surprised when he saw the little girl was looking at him flatly and coldly, That man was Alexander Louis, a good-looking man in Naomi's high school as well as a man who once held the highe
Author’s POV "So, please go away fromme," she said, passing him who was still standing in front of her. That girl desires to leave the guy as soon as possible, but it is not him who still wants her to be with him. Alex held Naomi's hand, causing her to stop in her tracks. Both that girl and that man were silent for a moment before he stepped in front of her to block her away. Alex thinks that now God is on his side, and the meeting he has been dreaming of for 12 years has come true. Unlike Alex, Naomi had already cooled her feelings for him. There is no second chance for him. She didn't intend to give any chance to him. "I don't want you to leave until you hear something from me," he said, staring into the cold brown-eyed Naomi gave to him. Again, she stomped her hand to free herself from Alex. To her, this situation reminded her of the time when he used to freely touch her entire body. Disgusting. Ne
Author’s POV Alex was still swamped with the files he had to sign. Luckily, his secretary, Darius, had already checked the contents of the piled-up files, so Alex's work began to be a little less. He is Alexander Louis, the CEO of Indonesia's largest gaming company. The company was originally founded by his grandfather and eventually passed down to him. Currently, the company is working on a 3D game project, which is a tough and busy time for him. He was silent as he received a resignation letter from one of the senior 3D artists which said that he would be leaving in the next two months. Alex then called his secretary, Darius, and asked him to explain why he had not been informed of Adrian's resignation which had already been submitted 1 month ago, "The file is piled-up with other files, sir..." "Obviously, why didn't anyone tell me?" he asked as he iswaving the resignation letter in front of Darius. "I'm sorry,
Author’s POV Naomi sighed, she was still thinking about what just happened. She tried not to think about it, but she couldn't. She didn't concentrate on the character designs that she should send to the client tomorrow afternoon. She leaned back and sighed again, she lifted her head, staring at the ceiling of his house with tired eyes, Her eyes were baggy because these few days she couldn't sleep. She was doing her freelance work allnight long. Not to mention she had to think of the fastest way to pay off her father's debts. Being an only child was tiring and boring because she had to bear everything alone. Many things happened in her life that had to movea lot because she and her father were trying to stay away from the debts that chased them. This time she was already working, even though she was only a freelancer, she was able to pay off his father's debt little by little. She had to kneel a few times to the moneylender
Author’s POV Naomi wiped her sweat, today she has to prepare food for her father's sale. Benny sells mie ayam and bakso, and every day Naomi helps him prepare his ingredients. Seeing Naomi who seemed exhausted, he asked her to take a break and leave the rest to himself. "Dad, it's okay... Well, it's almost done," she said while making meatballs. Benny smiled calmly, he was lucky to have a daughter who understood his condition. He felt very guilty for what had happened to his family. Starting from a decline in their family's economy, until he put a burden on his only daughter who should be having fun at her age. He never heard her daughter complain about their life, never. "Yosh! Finally done," said Naomi with a proud smile. It was still 6 in the morning, and Naomi only got 3 hours of sleep because this dawn she was working on a CV to send to Louis Studios. Naomi looked at her dad and called him while he was makin
Author’s POV Naomi stepped out of her house and met her father who was getting ready to go to sell mie ayam and bakso. "Well, today Naomi will join you, won't me, Dad?" Naomi asked very strongly, it could be seen from her holding Benny's hand as a form of her request. She wanted to join her father sell their wares together. "What about your work, is everything done?" asked Benny to which Naomi nodded, "It's okay, I am free today," she said, and she immediately ran towards the cart that his father was supposed to bring. This time she took the initiative to push the cart, replacing her father who always did it. Benny could only nod slowly as he followed his daughter who had already started to push the cart. The two of them walked hand in hand with Naomi pushing the cart. Arriving at her father's usual place of selling, she wiped her sweat, waiting if there were buyers who would buy her father's wares. This wa
