Before Edgar and Elissa split up"Where are we going?" asked Elissa when Edgar suddenly asked him to go.Edgar fixed his sitting position. "Tomorrow, we will be separated for a long time. I go to Lebanon, and you go to Singapore. At least today, I want to take you for a walk. We don't know what will happen tomorrow. Who knows if today is our last day together.""Last day?""Yep. No one knows how long our life and togetherness will last. That's why, at least today, I want us to be alone, away from the crowd."Elissa raised her eyebrows. "When we're in the villa, it's not far from the crowd, right?"Edgar laughed. "This time, it will be different," he said later.Elissa leaned back. She looked away. She wanted to ignore Edgar's words but couldn't help herself. Elissa was very curious. The last time she went with Edgar was to watch the sunrise on a deserted beach. The memory was still beautifully stored in her mind. Elissa admitted that it was one of the most beautiful experiences in her

"What are you looking at?" she exclaimed.Edgar pursed his lips. "There's a stain on the corner of your lip," Edgar pointed out."A tissue?" asked Elissa."I'll get some!" The man went into the tent. He began to unpack his gear. "Don't finish the noodles!" shouted Edgar."What? Who would want to eat bad food like this," replied Elissa, but she continued to slurp her noodles.Edgar returned. He sat in front of Elissa again. "I left my tissue behind!" he said with an innocent smile."So what?""Just use this!" Edgar approached Elissa. He pulled the hem of his shirt and wiped Elissa's lips."That's gross!" she screamed."Do you want to wear the shirt like before, or do you want me to clean it with a kiss?""Iu, that's disgusting! Our marriage was forced; how would I want to be kissed by you!"Edgar laughed again. He pulled off his shirt and rubbed it on Elissa. At first, Elissa was shocked and about to refuse, but the woman stopped when her nose smelled the scent of Edgar's body. This sc

Edgar stared at the ceiling. Her fingers twitched. He repeatedly wanted to speak but couldn't. His forehead furrowed. He had trouble starting a conversation. Being alone with a girl who looked so much like Balqis made Edgar nervous. The man closed his eyes for a moment. His thumb touched the wedding ring around his ring finger."So... are you married?" asked Naia.Edgar opened his eyes. He looked at Naia. He inhaled for a moment before finally opening his mouth. "Yes.""Why didn't you bring your wife here?""She... had some business in Singapore.""I see. ...." Naia nodded her head. Her fingers tapped on the notebook she was carrying. Edgar exhaled. The elevator ride was short but felt long when he was with Naia. She repeatedly looked at the numeric display above the elevator doors. Although the screen showed the numbers quickly, somehow, the numbers never stopped, and the elevator door opened."Um... why did Ms. Naia recommend me? Looks like we're ....""Just call me Naia.""Sorry?"

One hour and forty-five minutes later, the hotel phone rang. The hotel receptionist informed Elissa that someone was waiting for her. Because she had been ready all along, she hurried downstairs. Dressed in a black Gucci branded dress, Elissa went downstairs. She also wore kohl, this time to emphasize her eyes. Elissa didn't wear excessive makeup. She only applied lip gloss on her lips and wore natural-coloured powder. She didn't want to look ugly, but she didn't want to look pretty. The point was only one: don't let Fritz fall under her spell.But none of that applied. Even if Elissa was transformed into a witch, Fritz was still mesmerized. When she came out of the elevator, Fritz's eyes widened. He froze. To him, Elissa was like Dewi Nawang Wulan, who came down from heaven, and Fritz was like Jaka Tarub, who was ready to pick her up. Fortunately, Fritz wore sunglasses so his sparkling eyes would not be seen."'Let's go!" said Elissa, not wanting to linger. She wanted to start her d

"Excuse me, sir. You left something behind!" said Elissa while patting her husband's back.Edgar, who was facing the waiter, looked back. His lips, which were in the middle of mentioning the order, immediately stopped."Looks like I didn't leave anything."But once he saw the figure who said that, Edgar was stunned. His pupils dilated. His brain tried to translate the situation in front of him. And when he believed that his vision was not wrong, Edgar embraced Elissa.Elissa did not expect what Edgar did to her. Elissa initially felt comfortable, but as soon as she realized she was in a public place, she immediately left Edgar's embrace. The tip of Elissa's eyes directly looked at Fritz. The man who already had a horror face was now even more terrifying.Edgar also saw where she was looking. He realized that a man was staring at them."Oh, your work in Lebanon is like this, huh?" Elissa asked.Edgar raised his eyebrows. He thought for a moment about what she said. Edgar did not unders
