Astrid threw her body on the living room sofa of her house, She rubbed her face with both palms.
Meeting with Antoni for the second time really makes Astrid's heart fret. Anyway, Antoni can't just forget it.
Since childhood they were close, and always played together, where there was Astrid, there must be Antoni.
Although his father often took him to travel, sightseeing to recreation, or even to the beach, Antoni must always be invited by his father to come with them.
Astrid's father, Edward, was very kind and dear to Antoni, Antoni the same child as Astrid, since childhood had no real mother, Antoni's mother died, news that in can be obtained from Astrid, Astrid, Astrid's mother died when she was 6 years old.
Antoni lives with his father who is a fisherman and one brother who is currently in high school. His sister is named Cassano.
Astrid remembers her childhood with Antoni, when they often spent time swimming at the beach with Astrid's father.
- - Flash Back - - - - - -
Back in time, Astrid and Antoni were 9 years old.
Little Antoni and little Astrid run around playing sand on the beach, Edward, Astrid's father sits on the sand while watching Astrid play with Antoni.
Astrid made castles out of sand, Antoni helped her, they together made sand castles.
"I want to, when we grow up, we both live in the palace, Toni." Astrid said, smiling spoiled at Antoni.
"Yes, what a beautiful and comfortable palace." Antoni.
"Which is on the beach, so that we can look at the beauty of the beach from our palace every day." Little Astrid laughed.
Antoni also laughs with Astrid, Edward sees the familiarity of his son with Antoni, He is happy, because Astrid looks very cheerful when being with Antoni.
Therefore, He left Astrid close to Antoni, so that his son's heart was always entertained and could smile, and not be moody.
Little Astrid took out a mussel necklace from her pants pocket, and she showed it to Antoni.
"This necklace is for you, Antoni." Astrid said, smiling spoiledly looking at little Antoni's face.
Little Antoni took the mussel necklace from Astrid's hand, engraved Antoni and Camelia's names on the mussel necklace.
"Well, that's great." Antoni was pleased.
"Keep, and wear, that you may always remember me." Little astrid said.
"Yes." Yeah." Nod little Antoni.
Little Antoni quickly put on a necklace of clams to his neck, He held a necklace of clams that were already hanging on his neck, Antoni's face beamed in series, He was very happy at the love of a necklace of shells made by Astrid.
"Astrid, I'll wear this and I'll keep this necklace from you forever." Said Antoni small, with the look of a series of beaming faces.
"Yes." Yeah." Nod little Astrid smiling happily .
-- Flash Back ends ---
Back to the present.
Astrid took a deep breath, thinking, is Antoni still wearing a necklace around his neck? Or it's been removed and dumped Antoni.
Astrid thought, She tried to remember, when she met and talked with Antoni, On her neck, there was no hanging necklace, what does that mean, the clam necklace he had made was no longer on Antoni.
Astrid's face turned to be disappointed, She was sad, if true the necklace of the shells given her was not in use and removed Antoni.
"Ah, I must throw away my feelings for Antoni, forget He Astrid, forget Him." His word.
Astrid tries to pull over and throw away all her memories and good memories with Antoni when she was a child.
Astrid does not want to, her concentration is divided, so she can not focus on carrying out her revenge mission to the Gerard and Zahara families.
His main goal is to return to his old house to spy and watch and approach the Zahara family, so that He can more easily carry out his revenge.
For that, He must be able to forget his feelings and heart for Antoni, because, if He can not throw Antoni in his memory, Antoni will be the biggest obstacle to his mission of revenge.
It is not impossible that Antoni will unlock the secrets of Astrid's identity in front of the Zahara family, if they remain close contact, Antoni is very familiar with the figure of Astrid as a child first, and over time, Antoni would definitely be able to recognize him. And Astrid didn't want that to happen.
"I must avoid Antoni, lest He know who I really am." Astrid Mumbled.
Astrid sighed again, She then left, went into her room, to clean bath and change house clothes.

Inside Gerard's spacious mansion, Samuel, who was 37 years old, Gerard and Zahara's eldest son entered his house, He walked into his room.
As He walked through the hallway of his house, He passed Sulis, the Secretary of his Papah, who had just come out from inside his Papa's study.
Inadvertently, Samuel collides with Sulis, as Sulis exits the study room unaware of Samuel's willing presence in his Papa's study.
The file of documents in the map in the hand of Sulis fell apart on the floor, Samuel saw the file, He immediately crouched down and helped Sulis pick up the file scattered.
"Heart next time you walk, look." Samuel.
"Yes, Sir." Answer Sulis, while picking up the file.
When Samuel picked up some of the documents that had fallen on the floor, he accidentally saw and read a Document.
Samuel was silent, He was shocked to see the file, When Samuel saw that the file contained the appointment of a successor to his Papa as the main leader of his papal company.
Sulis quickly retrieved and closed the file, He then rushed to his feet, trying to avoid it, Sulis did not want Samuel to know about the file, because the document is actually very secret, because the document is actually very secret, very secret, only He and Gerard knew the contents of the document.
"Sorry, Young Master, I'm Excuse me." Sulis said, covering his nervousness and trying to calm down before Samuel.
Samuel stood up, He quietly did not answer, Sulis hurried away quickly leaving Samuel who stood still and was stunned.
"Am I not mistaken?" Mumbled, thought.
"Replacement of Papah Jack ? Not me, the eldest son ? What did Papah mean, give his company to Jack, the drug addict?!" Said Samuel.
"I need to find out the truth." His word.
With curiosity Samuel rushed to the street and entered his Papa's study.
Gerard who had just finished calling someone saw Samuel enter his room and walked over to him.
"Well, I want Papah to be honest with me." Samuel.
Without saying hello first, Samuel just threw a question on his Papa. So that makes Gerard surprised to see his attitude.
"What do you mean?" Ask Gerard cuek.
"Is it true, Papah will give Papah's company to Jack ?" Samuel asked, in a stern tone.
Hearing Samuel's question, Gerard was a little surprised, He was surprised, from where Samuel could come to know it, because, He and his secretary were very secretive about it.
He will announce his successor when he declares his retirement in front of the shareholders of his company.
Gerard accidentally gives his company to Jack, to take over and continue the company's wheels, because he does not trust Samuel who is more cunning than his brother Jack.
Samuel, Gerard's eldest son, was not born from Zahara's womb, but was a different mother to Jack, whose biological son Zahara was disliked by Gerard because of his cunning and petty nature.
Actually Samuel's character is the same as Gerard, the cunning and shortsighted nature of Samuel in the results of the upbringing and derivative of Gerard, the biological father of Samuel directly.
Gerard thought, if the company in Samuel's hands, then, the company will be destroyed, not only that, Gerard can be sure, if Samuel controls all his inheritance, he said, He will drive out Zahara and Jack and Melani, and take control of their home.
Because Gerard did not want the problem to happen, silent He made a legacy, by placing Jack as the holder of the company in his stead, as well as, the rightful heir.
"Why is Papah silent? Is it true that I saw in Papah's secretary file?!" Ask Samuel again.
Back Gerard gasped in shock, as it turned out, Samuel found out from his Secretary.
But how could Samuel know that? There was no way his Secretary would betray and tell Samuel about it, Gerard thought hard.
"Sorry, Sam, Papah is busy, there's no time to talk about it." Gerard.
Gerard then stood up from his chair, tidied up the files in the map on the table, grabbed his phone and put it in his shirt pocket.
"Well, we have a meeting today, we'll talk about it." Gerard.
Gerard just left Samuel. Samuel stood up to see the departure of his father.
He did not expect, Himself was just cuekin by his Papah, and his Papa did not answer his question earlier. Samuel was furious to get his papal treatment.
"I need to find out from Sulis !" Guram.
Samuel then hurriedly walked out of his Papa's office, intending, to meet Sulis, his Papal Secretary, and ask about the truth of the dossier he had read earlier, where the dossier contains the appointment of Jack, his half-brother as the sole heir and the owner of the company replacing his Papah.
If that's true, Samuel can't accept the fact, because He thinks, He deserves it, because He's Gerard's real son, and Gerard's oldest son, so, uh, there was no reason for Gerard not to give up his company.
The sparks of hostility in the Gerard family began to be seen, Samuel, who had not liked Jack and Zahara, his stepmother hated them even more.
Samuel knew that Zahara also wanted to control all the possessions of his Papah, and Samuel also knew that Zahara had influenced his Papah, so that his Papah had always obeyed Zahara and could not oppose him.
Samuel did not know why his Papa was subject to Zahara, his stepmother, Samuel did not know that there was a big secret that Zahara held, He had an ace in his hand, he had an ace in his hand, all sorts of secrets of Gerard's crimes are in Zahara's hands.
Once Gerard does anything to Zahara or his two children, Jack and Melani, Zahara will surely uncover the big secret, and if exposed, Gerard will get into big trouble, He will deal with the authorities, and will even be in prison for decades for his crimes during this time.
Gerard is actually looking for a way, how he can silence Zahara without anyone suspecting.
It was once in Gerard's mind to kill his wife, however, He undoes his intention, He knows, if it does, people will be suspicious of his wife's sudden death, and the Police can certainly uncover it, Gerard doesn't want to get into trouble. He prefers to find a safer way, not bothering himself behind the day later.
