"Eh, why are you both dressed up so nicely this early in the morning? Where are you going?" Frans looked at Alexander and Casandra from head to toe. "You're not going to the mall to shop for baby supplies, right? Remember, Casandra isn't quite strong enough for that. He plopped himself down on the sofa.Frans looked quite refreshed this morning, even though he had worked hard last night, taking on some of his colleagues' work to distract himself from Yasmin and Gerry's engagement. If he had known that the engagement was eventually called off last night, he wouldn't have had to pretend like he did yesterday."Not to the mall. Since when does my wife want to spend a long time at the mall? We're going there to shop for necessities and then return home right away. Casandra isn't the type of woman who likes to waste time." Alexander pinched Casandra's not very pointed nose. "We want to attend Cesilia and William's wedding.""Cesilia and William?" Frans furrowed his brows."Finally, Cesilia

Frans had been driving his car in silence for a while, completely ignoring Yasmin sitting beside him. He was preoccupied with thoughts of where to take Yasmin for a stroll. Going to the shopping center seemed too mainstream, as it's where everyone ends up visiting whenever they come to the city. It's not really strolling, more like shopping. Frans worried that at the mall, Yasmin might decline his offer to treat her, even though he didn't mind at all if she were to spend her savings.Eliminating the mall from their list of destinations, Frans began considering water attractions. He thought about the place where he and Alexander had met Cesilia yesterday. He glanced at Yasmin, who seemed focused on looking out the window. He was sure Yasmin wouldn't be interested in water attractions, as her mind seemed to be in disarray, and she'd likely be reluctant to engage in activities just for fun.Removing water attractions from the list as well, he spotted a sign pointing towards Puncak, Bogor

Frans parked his car, with no intention of getting out or waking up Yasmin who was still fast asleep. He would wait for her to wake up on her own to avoid surprising her or making her angry for disturbing her sleep.He understands that someone who's tired and forcefully woken up can feel uncomfortable and sometimes end up with a headache. As the car stopped moving, Yasmin began to blink her eyes open and slightly squirmed, looking around to see if they had arrived yet."Where are we, Frans?" she asked upon noticing the surrounding trees."We've reached the summit. Come on, let's get out and put on this jacket." Frans took off his jacket and handed it to Yasmin. The cooler temperature in Puncak compared to Jakarta means Yasmin's dress wouldn't be sufficient to shield her from the cold.Without much questioning, Yasmin put on the jacket. Not out of fear or anything, but from where she was seated, Yasmin could see that no other visitors were dressed like her. They were all wearing covere

Frans chose not to go to an expensive restaurant, but instead, he searched for a simple yet beautiful place to eat, offering a different view than usual for him and Yasmin. He wanted to show Yasmin how beautiful Puncak was and how it could help ease her mind. Given the ongoing issues in Jakarta with Robert, Frans thought that Yasmin needed a place like Puncak for mental refreshment. Therefore, he chose a restaurant overlooking a plantation. The gentle rain added a romantic touch, and he and Yasmin occupied a small gazebo for two. They enjoyed grilled chicken and fish, and Frans ordered more grilled dishes as extras.The romantic ambiance supported their connection as a couple. However, unlike other couples, Yasmin and Frans were both hiding their true feelings. They were aware of Robert, who loved Yasmin deeply. After receiving Robert's call earlier, Frans felt a bit guilty. Yet, he tried not to let it affect his mood. After all, he hadn't directly lied to Robert; he had said he was f

It was quite exhausting for Yasmin to enjoy a short vacation with Frans after collecting strawberries, horseback riding, and savoring various culinary delights at the peak. This day marked a completely new experience for Yasmin spent with Frans. She felt a sense of tranquility after having been able to express her feelings to him.Yasmin didn't care what others might think of her, whether they saw her as a flirt or something similar. What mattered to her was that her heart was now free of any burdens. Before confessing her feelings to Frans, Yasmin had already planned out possible outcomes.If Frans didn't share her feelings, she would move on. If he did have feelings, they would have to find a way to navigate their relationship without Robert knowing the extent of it. If questioned by Robert about their relationship later, Yasmin and Frans could both honestly say that they were just good friends.There would be no lies involved, as there was truly no romantic connection between them.
