MasukRoy smiled awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck. "Are you... are you okay? Dita said you were in an accident," Roy said in a gentle tone.I nodded with a faint smile. "I'm fine. Luckily, it was only a minor injury."Roy nodded slightly. His eyes darted around, and he looked incredibly uncomfortable. "Are you... are you officially with Mr. Jefri?"I didn't expect that question to come from his lips. Perhaps Roy had found out from Dita. But something different caught my eye; Roy looked like he was trying to reassure himself with that question.I was confused about how to answer. In reality, I didn't actually have a clear, defined relationship with Jefri. However, I realized my answer would have a huge impact on Roy's feelings."Yes..." I answered, with a hesitation I forced to sound firm. "We... are getting married soon," I added confidently, even though I had no idea what the future held for my relationship with Jefri.Roy gave a bitter smile and looked down. I could see the disappo
I hugged him tight, feeling the warmth of the embrace I had missed so much. "I love you. Please, don't ever leave me again..." I whispered softly, burying my face in his chest.Jefri stroked my hair gently, occasionally kissing the top of my head affectionately. "I love you too, Erika. I will never leave you again.""Really?!" I asked reflexively, looking up at him.Jefri looked at me warmly, a sincere love radiating from the depths of his heart. "Hm, of course. You are the only one I love."My lips curved into a wide, happy smile. Slowly, Jefri kissed my lips softly. I kissed him back. We stared at each other for a few seconds before kissing again. This time, it was more intense and passionate than before.I even acted aggressively, climbing on top of him. I grabbed his full lips with surging passion. We wrestled in a hot embrace, kissing each other brutally. And just as our passion reached its peak, Jefri aggressively flipped me over until finally...THUD!I jolted violently as my h
"What do we do? Jefri is threatening us again..." Dita exclaimed, her face pale. She sat on the edge of the bed with a gloomy expression, staring at her phone screen. "I just managed to win Roy's heart. We can't be separated again..."I sat on the bed, leaning against the headboard with my knees pulled up to my chest. In my heart, I muttered, 'I can't possibly sacrifice Dita's happiness for my own ego and interests.'Not long after, Dita’s phone rang loudly again. She looked at me with wide eyes, showing me the screen. "Erika, Jefri is calling again. What do I do?""Fine, go ahead and answer it. But... I still don't want to talk to him," I whispered faintly, then immediately looked away.A second later, Jefri’s voice came through Dita's speakerphone."Hello... Erika is with you, right?" Jefri asked with a cold, piercing tone."Yes. But... Erika doesn't want to talk to you right now," Dita answered honestly."Erika... I know you can hear my voice," Jefri said, sounding incredibly confi
With trembling hands and tears streaming down my face, I tried to reach Dita on my phone."Hello, Erika. What’s wrong?" Dita answered."Help me, Dit... I need you..." I sobbed, my breath coming in jagged gasps."Er... what happened? Why are you crying?" Dita’s voice sounded frantic."Where are you? I need you right now...""I just dropped Sherly off.""I’m coming to you, Dit! I need to see you right now!" My panicked voice was mixed with uncontrollable sobs."Okay, okay. I’ll send you my location..."After the call ended, I frantically ordered a ride-sharing motorcycle. Just as Jefri stepped out of the minimarket, I scrambled out of the car, tears still pouring down my cheeks.Jefri looked panicked from a distance. He ran over to me as I stood by the side of the road. "Erika, where are you going?!" he shouted.I didn't answer, instead rushing toward the motorcycle taxi that had just arrived. As I started to climb onto the bike, Jefri grabbed my arm tightly."Erika! What’s wrong? Why a
"Ahem..." Jefri cleared his throat and looked away, pretending not to understand their conversation.Meanwhile, I immediately hid behind his broad back. My face felt hot, burning with embarrassment. In my heart, I grumbled, 'Sherly... why would you even ask that...'I suddenly felt stifled by the question. It had been a month since we were intimate, and Sherly’s words seemed to reawaken the desire we had managed to suppress. Especially now, with our bodies pressed tightly together, it created an undeniable electricity between us.Dita nudged Sherly’s arm while shifting her gaze away from us. "Don't even bother asking. My ears went deaf from listening to their moaning in the campus restroom," she muttered with sharp, stinging sarcasm.At that, my face reflexively popped out from behind him. I glared at Dita with wide eyes. "Dita! So you knew everything?!" I shouted in disbelief."I just pretended not to know so you two could be happy," she said cynically, then turned away and looked th
A few moments later, Jefri’s phone rang. He loosened his grip on me for a second, then answered the call on speakerphone."Yes, Niken?""I’ve already handled the hospital registration for Miss Erika, sir.""What about the other party involved in the accident?""There were no casualties or injuries. Only the car was wrecked, and I’ve taken care of the liability.""Erika’s car?""It’s at the insurance workshop now, sir.""Any legal issues?""No, everything is secured."Jefri let out a long sigh of relief, the tension on his face slowly fading. Was he really that worried? Did he truly have that much love for me?"Alright, Niken. Thank you."After the call ended, a nurse came in to remove my IV. "You’re clear to go home, miss," she said kindly before walking away.Jefri and I locked eyes for a long time before he finally let out a long breath. "Let's go home," he said, his tone intentionally gruff, as if he were still annoyed."But my leg still hurts..." I whined, putting on a pitiful exp
"Do I still have to do revisions, Sir?" I asked, my brow furrowing in utter disbelief at his demand.Mr. Jefri swallowed his mouthful of toast, then took a sip of his coffee before answering in that familiarly cold tone. "Of course. How could you possibly graduate with a draft of a thesis
I accepted my phone back with a tumultuous storm of mixed emotions swirling within me. My mind was entirely plagued by uncertainty; was all of this truly going to continue? Though I remained emotionally shaken, an overwhelming wave of physical exhaustion began to creep into my very bones.
I fought against him with every ounce of my remaining strength, desperately trying to shove his solid frame away. Yet, an unnatural, volatile wave of heat began to spread aggressively through my veins. Placed in a position where Mr. Jefri's body was pressed flush against mine and his face was mer
A paid woman? Did he perceive me as a prostitute? How could he possibly hurl an accusation so degrading at me?I halted my steps abruptly, locking my eyes onto Mr. Ben in a sharp, piercing glare. "Do you take me for a prostitute?" I questioned, my voice rising in tone.Mr. Ben&rsquo
