JUST HUG ME FOR A SECOND

MY LOVE IS HURT

That afternoon Brian immediately met Alice at work. Now Alice works at one of the restaurants as Waiter there. After his father died of illness and was worsened by the state of his company's bankruptcy. Alice has to bash for money just to eat and her daily needs. He and his mother worked hard for his sister's tuition. Alice did not want her sister to drop out of school, until she promised to work hard as long as her sister could continue her studies.

Brian looked at Alice from a distance. How he's been so mean to let Alice through this alone. If time could be turned, he would give Alice time to explain and listen. Unfortunately he used to be too carried away by emotions, so he did not want to listen to Alice's explanation. Now he deeply regrets his actions.

Brian decides to wait for Alice to get home, as he doesn't want to interrupt Alice's work.

On the other hand, Evan had to respond to 2 family accusations against him. He was already a big villain in the eyes of his family now. Her father nagged her and her in-laws were no less angry. Aluna was crying incessantly, Tama was silent unable to do anything. Tama is actually no less upset.

Now Evan is like a wasted child who is not allowed to approach Aluna again. Everyone was upset and disappointed in him. Brian was busy with his own business.

"Congratulations Brian, you've had great success making it all messy. Fuck Brian," said Evan outside Aluna's room in the hospital, leaning against the white walls. He could not enter, the door was closed for him. Evan could only sit on a bench outside Aluna's room in the care. He sat down pensively some on the bench until he finally left.

Jamia is no less tragic, she is in the mummy and her ashes. He doesn't even care when he's sick like this. Jamia could only cry, she was tired of explaining to everyone that she had nothing to do with Evan. She's been screaming for her virginity test, if everyone doesn't believe it. But still no one believes. Except Malik's fiancee. Because she was familiar with Jamia's habits, and she was convinced Jamia was a righteous woman who couldn't possibly do that.

"That's it, Jamia. No matter what happens, I still love you. I love you sincerely lillahita'ala. God willing my soul mate will be as good as me. If I am a good man, then my wife will be good. If I were a bad person, my wife would be bad. I don't care what happens, I'm going to want you to be my wife, Jamia. Because I believe you're a good woman" Malik said sincerely. It made Jamia so excited.

It turned out that God was very kind to him, sending a sincere man like Malik. It was sobering Jamia that she must always be faithful to keep her feelings for Malik. He doesn't deserve to miss Evan all the time, whereas God has replaced him with a man as good as Malik. Jamia cried when she heard Malik's words. He promised from now on there was only Malik in his heart, Evan was enough to be a big brother to him.

Brian is still waiting for Alice, the day has shown at 22:12 Wib. As Alice prepares to go home, she is seen chatting with her friend and finally she heads to her motorbike park just as Brian is standing there. Alice stared at Brian standing in front of her.

Brian looked at Alice with a moved look. She hugged Alice immediately. But as she tried to approach Alice, Alice retreated as if she did not want to be approached.

"Don't!" alice muttered, making Brian stop his steps. "why did you come again, Brian?" murmured Alice was still standing with tears that she could not bear.

"I've listened to everything. I'm sorry because I didn't listen to you at the time. I left you when you needed me. Alice I am so sorry. If I had listened to you back then we wouldn't have had to lose everything" said Brian, who also broke down in tears "including losing our son" she continued. Which made Alice look at him.

"You made me lose everything, Brian. You left me alone in the face of all this" said Alice, beginning to get hysterical.

"I know I was wrong, Alice. I want to fix it. Alice give me one more chance. I promise this time I will be the best for you. I'll listen to your words. And I'm gonna marry you soon and take this away" Brian assures. "Alice... There are no moments I go through without missing you. I've been following you all this time, because I'm afraid of losing you. But I can't say it because I've misjudged you" Brian said, again trying to persuade Alice.

Brian tells the story of Evan he met, and the beginning of his misunderstanding, as well as about Alice's abortion. Also about the reason she took Alice's money away before she left Alice.

Now Alice understood what had happened in the past.

"So you think that's the boy I met in Hawaii? Are you crazy? I don't even know the guy's name. He's just a guy I happened to meet. He's friendly and kind. That's why I was with him in Hawaii, what else he was both from Jakarta. He was very polite and warm, it made me tell him a lot about our problems that day. Because I'm a person who easily forgets the faces of people I just met, so I asked him to take a picture with me... That's it, nothing more, "lit Alice. "Why don't you ever ask me? You always make your own decisions. Why are you looking at me as low as Brian?" Alice began to sob. I'm upset about everything that's happened in his life in recent years. It turns out that it came from a misunderstanding. "After I lost my father, so did all our possessions. Everyone was avoiding us like a disease. They approached us and looked like sycophants. You know what it's like to be rejected by the people you've been helping? So hurtful. THAT'S HOW I FEEL, BRIAN," Alice cried hysterically and her tears broke. Brian tried to approach Alice again hesitantly, fearing Alice's rejection again. When Alice did not seem to refuse, she tried to hug Alice. And this time Alice did not reject him. "My mom's sick. My sister needs a fee to go to college. I feel like killing myself, Brian," sobbed Alice in Brian's arms. Brian heard it with a sliced heart. It turned out that what he did used to have a huge impact on Alice's family.

Ouwf.... Timing. If it could be turned around maybe a lot of things would be Brian fox. If that time were to be repeated, he would listen to Alice. Stupidly he let all this be a big misunderstanding.

"Alice... I promise I won't leave you again. I love you, Alice. I love you so much" Brian said. Alice also returned Brian's embrace. Maybe he should start again with Brian.

SERIATE...
