"I don't want to come." Morana firmly refused Quirino's invitation, as she walked down the corridor then turned towards the women's restroom. She needed to take a release."You have a week free, because you are suspended." Quirino reminded her with annoyance because lately it was getting more and more difficult for him to ask Morana to go with him, she became extremely annoying, even though he knew that the problem came from his father.But he thought the problem had been resolved that day after he saw her crying for the first time…"I don't have to spend my spare time with you right? I have other activities." Morana took a headset out of her bag and plugged it into her cellphone so she could use her hands and move more freely."You don't have any activities, Morana, you don't even have friends." Quirino reminded her about this sad truth, not with the intention of being sarcastic, but that's the reality.Morana didn't even take Quirino's words to heart, she knew that was the truth and
Quirino didn't answer, but pointed towards the speaker in the cafe.Song…Morana didn't expect that the song in the cafe was the clue for Quirino to find out where she was.In front of Morana, Quirino glanced at the expensive watch that was wrapped around his wrist. The golden needles showed it was 14:25 pm"Our plane takes off at 6, meaning we have to leave here at 3." Quirino said casually, he even ordered the same order as Morana."We?" Morana raised her eyebrows sarcastically. "Since when did I say that I agreed to come with you to city Z?""You didn't say anything, but I decided for you to come to City Z." Quirino answered casually.He even moved seats to Morana's side, trapping her between the wall and himself so she couldn't suddenly escape."How long are you going to be like this?!" Morana widened her eyes angrily from feeling cornered. She didn’t like to be crowded like this and Quirino knew that pretty well."Until you become my wife, until you become the mother of my childr
Quirino and Morana arrived at the International Airport at exactly 20.35 pm.The clouds covering the night sky of this island made the night air cooler than usual. No stars, and a moon covered with somber clouds.However, as if they didn't care about the time of day, the busy people there still packed the airport back and forth.Quirino and Morana have not talked to each other or even exchanged a word since they left the capital city.The 2 hours of their trip were spent busy with their respective activities.If Morana finished 1 horror film during the flight, Quirino chose to dwell on the documents he had brought from the capital city.Apart from Morana, Quirino brought 2 other people with them.The first is Silvi, his secretary and Mr. Damon, Head of Marketing Department.The two people sat in the seat behind Quirino and Morana.Because the plane they were traveling on was an airline owned by the Quirino family, so they could get seats in first class as easily as turning their palms
When Morana had finished bathing and she was wearing a bathrobe to cover her naked body, she realized that on the way here, Quirino didn't give her a chance to pack at all.As a result, let alone underware, Morana didn't even have clean clothes she could sleep in.And there was no way Morana would be wearing the same underwear either. Euh! Gross!Taking a deep breath, Morana paused in front of the bathroom door while thinking about what she would wear.The longer she stood, the cold wind blowing from the hotel room's air conditioner made her shiver more and more.Then Morana decided she would just wear Quirino's t-shirt and boxer shorts, after all it was his fault that she didn't allow Morana to bring her daily stuff.Morana walked to the bed and found Quirino sleeping on the king size bed, while his suitcase was still open and a bit messy as a result of him looking for clothes he could wear to sleep.Morana was also looking for the same thing in the dark brown suitcase.5 minutes lat
Silvi's face turned red when she heard Quirino's answer which was full of confrontation. She no longer tried to run side by side with her boss and muttered an incoherent reason."I will be back first to prepare for the meeting this afternoon." Silvi said unclearly, then immediately ran away in the opposite direction.Feelings of anger and annoyance came over her when she walked away from Quirino.How could a woman like Morana beat herself in Quirino's eyes? From any perspective, Silvi is far superior to that college girl, or at least that's what Silvi thinks.Silvi, who was one grade under Quirino when they were still in college, has long had special feelings for this man, it's just that he never paid any attention to her.Therefore, when Silvi finally entered Quirino's company and got the position as his personal secretary, she thought she finally had a chance.However, reality says otherwise...Quirino already has a 'toy'.Toy. That was the word that came to Silvi's mind whenever sh
The ambulance came 30 minutes later and this caused quite a stir.Quirino, who panicked, got into the ambulance while still wearing his jogging suit.Silvi couldn't stop thinking about Quirino's behavior. According to her, only stomach ulcers do not need to be exaggerated like that, let alone having to call an ambulance, enough medicine from the local drug store and rest will be enough.However, that was Silvi's petty thought, because she didn't know anything about the pain felt by stomach ulcer sufferers, especially chronic ones like Morana."If things are like this how about the meeting this afternoon?" Silvi clucked angrily at Mr. Damon beside her.Damon, a 35- year -old man who has worked for the family company for many years, glanced at the expensive watch that was wrapped around his wrist.The needles of the clock showed 9.25 am while their meeting was going to start at 13.30 pm"No problem, there is still 4 hours left. Besides, the distance from the hospital to the hotel isn't
"What do you think I am going to do?" Silvi felt a little embarrassed because Morana looked at her like that. There was something about this woman that made Silvi uncomfortable and prone to fear her, but she managed to control herself well and hide it.Morana looked away, she shifted her gaze from Silvi's calm expression to the situation around her.It took Morana a moment to realize she was in the hospital and not the hotel.Quirino must have been very panicked when he received the call this morning. Morana could vaguely remember Quirino's words ringing in her ears when she was whimpering in pain and his warm hand stroking the top of her head in panic because she wouldn't stop crying.Embarrassing. Morana thought.She very rarely cries and when she does, it must be when Quirino was near her. Morana felt uncomfortable for showing 'that' side in front of Quirino… again."I want a drink." Morana said while glancing at the water bottle that was on the table.The table was far enough for
"You think I care?" Morana asked in between her laughter which made Silvi frown.Silvi thought, her words just now had succeeded in provoking Morana so that this woman would think twice before she took advantage of Quirino's liking for her, but who would have thought that she would actually laugh like this.When the nurse who was called by Silvi came in and saw the situation in the room full of laughter, she thought Silvi was telling a joke to Morana, therefore she just reminded her."Please don't move too actively Ms. Morana, I am afraid the infusion needle will fall off." The female nurse reminded with a smile then looked at Silvi. "Don't tell jokes just yet, ma'am." She spoke slowly and politely.The difference between 'Ms.' and 'Ma’am' used by the nurse made Morana laugh even more, especially when she saw Silvi's unhappy expression when she heard that.That shows the age difference is quite far and clear between the two.Even though Silvi and Morana are only 2 years apart, with Mo
