“Brandon's apartment?” Adrian looked at Diana's mother doubtfully. It was information Diana had never been told.
Diana's mother glanced at Clarissa and Clarissa nodded her head.
“It was Brandon's legacy to Diana. It was just that since the accident, she had never visited it at all. I think she's too sad to go there. The whole place holds memories of her and Brandon," Diana's mother continued later.
Adrian was stunned. The place of memories of Diana with Brandon. He then wondered to himself. How about him? Can he go there and then see the place where Diana's memories were with Brandon, the private place she had with Brandon that she didn't even share with him?
Suddenly Adrian felt jealousy that bothered his heart. A feeling of jealousy that made him feel like a third person, pushed outside the circle, alone.
"I will be there." Adrian stood up, feeling his heart beat fast. "Hopefully she will be there."
"Keep us informed." Diana's mother

“Maybe I'll explain about your parents beforehand, Kat.” Mrs. Dewi smiled gently, asking Kat to be patient. “I hope that helps you accept it all later.”Kat couldn't help but nod her head in anticipation, even though her heart was dying of curiosity.“Unlike most of the other kids here, you're actually quite lucky. Most of the ones here are outcasts, can't trace their origins anymore, really can't find their origins, but I can confirm yours,” Mrs Dewi continued. “Your parents really love you. They may not be rich but they try to make ends meet for you. That's what I caught from the social service when they brought you here. Unfortunately their age, your parents, is not long and they have no relatives, both alone. It was because of that incident that the neighbors met with the social service and it was decided to leave you here.““My parents already passed away?” Kat felt a thump in the chest. Even thoug

After Adrian left, Diana moved, sitting on the favorite sofa while watching the raindrops begin to subside.It's for the best, she muttered to herself. One day Adrian will realize that what Diana has decided is for his own good.Adrian deserves to find a woman who loves who he really is, not a woman who doesn't even know who he loves now. Even though for some reason her heart hurts, it hurts and is tight, like a broken heart.Diana sighed, leaning back on the sofa. Then suddenly Adrian's last sentence before leaving rang in her head, suddenly appeared.You will get what you want, Diana, a world without me in it and I will take Brandon's heart with me.A bad premonition immediately overtook her, causing her to sit up straight with wide eyes, her heart pounding. Suddenly with fast steps, Diana grabbed her jacket and rushed out of the apartment, gasping for air and tears streaming down her face.Adrian! Diana called out, with all the horr

"This is your older brother." Mrs. Dewi pointed to the skinny boy in the photo, who was cradled by his father. She looked at Kat sadly. “I wish I'd had the chance to tell you about it from the start, Kat, but you're already living a happy new life. Since your parents decided to protect you by not sharing any information, it prevents me from interrupting your life with this truth.”Mrs Dewi took a deep breath and then continued, “Your brother was three years old when the accident that gave you both parents happened. You two were put in this orphanage together. Unfortunately, your brother is too old and children who are too old are rarely in demand for adoption here. In the end your brother had to part with you because your adoptive parents chose you for adoption.” Mrs. Dewi looked at Kat gently. “Despite being apart, I know your brother will always love you. He live and grew up here. We schooled him and he was very good at it. In the

"So my brother Brandon is Brandon who also donated his heart?" Kat was shaking uncontrollably, already knowing the answer even though she herself was unable to accept the truth.“Yes and, it turns out you already know. Brandon kept his decision a secret. One day he came and asked for my autograph, as a member of the family who would take care of all permits for him, because he signed an agreement to donate his heart when he died. At that time I asked him why he thought that way. Very rarely do humans think about donating their organs with the thought that if they die later it will be useful for other people. Moreover, a man like Brandon who is still young, everyone would think that he would still have a long life.” Mrs. Dewi sighed. “Maybe it was more like a hunch.”Kat's blood seemed to be receding from her head missing somewhere. Her whole body was cold, making Dean anxious and squeezing her fingers gently."Are you all right, Kat?" Dea

They arrived at the deserted cemetery, a quiet cemetery that was beautiful and neatly arranged. Dean got out of the car first, then took Kat's arm to get off with him. They walked in silence, following the directions Mrs Dewi had given them and found Brandon's grave. Then the grave was there, with the tombstone bearing Brandon's name and an excerpt of a heartbreaking farewell poem on it. You and I, us. Purer than romantic literary passages, although our story is not as beautiful as love in history, But that promise accompanied by a beating heart is only ours. And even though the beating was gone, this love will always be awake. Love you always, Diana This is an excerpt of Diana's feelings for Brandon. Kat's mind suddenly touched, it was so painful. Brandon, the older brother she never knew, until now, has a girlfriend who loves him very much and vice versa. Kat pondered. So

Diana's steps immediately stopped, she was stunned and then looked at Kat sadly. There's that guy, Dean, the guy who meets her on campus and reveals everything to her. The man was now standing next to Kat, his arm around her as if to support her. What should she do now? But at the same second, Kat turned and looked at Diana who was standing stunned at the end of the corridor. The woman looked just as surprised as Diana. Her expression turned deathly pale, while Diana herself stood there confused, not knowing what to do or say. Meanwhile, Clarissa turned to the frozen Diana and gave a confused look, but then she didn't care. She quickly took Diana to come closer. "Doctor, is it my friend Adrian over there?" Clarissa mumbled quickly, interrupting the conversation of the doctor who seemed to be explaining something to Kat. The doctor turned his head, looked at Clarissa in bewilderment, while Diana stood behind her with a bright red face. The doct

"Are you okay?" Dean whispered softly to Kat, glancing slightly at Clarissa and Diana who were sitting a little further across in silence.Kat gave Dean a meaningful look and then took a deep breath. "I am alright. I'm more concerned about Adrian's condition because he hasn't woken up yet."“Adrian must be fine. You heard what the doctor said, right?" Dean looked thoughtful, but then he asked, “Why did you tell the doctor that you are Adrian's fiancé? Are you—?" Dean swallowed his saliva, “Do you still feel in your heart that you are Adrian's fiancé, still hope that your engagement will continue?”There was a bit of bitterness there, in Dean's voice, having made his feelings for Kat so open. He didn't hide his jealousy either.Kat shot him a stern look. “By claiming to be his fiancé, the doctor would consider me family, so he would provide me more detailed information.”Dean stare

"We actually want to bring Adrian back to Jakarta," Adrian's mother muttered after hearing the doctor's explanation. Adrian's parents sat at the table in front of the doctor's desk, while Kat and Dean sat in the available chairs in the back, against the wall.The doctor shook his head. “I think the patient should stay here until he recovers properly. You can take him home afterwards."Adrian's mother took a deep breath, she really wanted to bring him home. Being in this city seems to have really made Adrian far from his family. Since she forced him to accept Kat, her relationship with him has been strained. Her only son stayed away, hardly ever calling her unless absolutely necessary.Adrian's mother knew she was pushing him too much. Her eyes glanced at Kat who was sitting there, looking just as worried as her cousin who was accompanying her. Don't all moms in the world want to have a daughter-in-law like Kat, such a beautiful and kind-hearted daughter-in
