Aiden goes to Catherine's house to see Jasmine. Her steps came to a halt when she saw Catherin in someone's arms.
Aiden's heart was burning and it felt like he wanted to punch the man who was hugging Catherine.
Aiden moved his legs towards the two of them and without a second thought he forcefully pulled the man's arm and let go of his embrace and a second later, Aiden's fist landed on his jaw.
"AH!" cry Catherine who was shocked.
"Shit!" cursed the man who fell down and held the corner of his bloody lips.
"Aiden, what the fuck are you!" exclaim Catherine.
"You're gonna defend that guy, huh?" aiden's snapping left Catherine suffocating in shock. "Are you not ashamed to cuddle with a foreign man here. How about Jasmine take a look?"
"And this guy. After Alan now this man! Do you have to be this low, Catherine!"
Plaques
Catherine's hand drifted to Aiden's cheek making him freeze. Catherine's already flushed gaze held back her tears and anger.
"Go!"
"Cath"
"I said go!" expel Catherine. "You have no right to insult me and rule my life!" he cried and went into the house by slamming the door.
"Oho. hey man, I'll spare your punches just now. The effect of jealousy is dasyat," he cried showing his smirk.
"And you need to know. I'm not Catherine's pet man. I'm his brother" exclaimed the man, making Aiden freeze in his place.
"Shock no," he chuckled. "Now try to get an apology from him. Because my sister's having a hard time apologizing." The man patted Aiden on the shoulder and left Aiden who was pecking in his place with a jack of balls.
'What have I done? What happened to me?' inner Aiden.
Aiden left Catherine's house.
Inside Catherine's house stood behind the door. Lean there with a wounded heart.
You want to defend that guy, huh?
Aren't you shy about hugging a stranger here. What if Jasmine sees?
Wh why? Why should Aiden consider himself so low? Her refusal was not enough to insult her.
Until when he should continue to be hurt like this by her.
"Mommy..."
The call made Catherine turn to the source of the voice. Seeing Jasmine standing in the hallway connecting the living room and family room made Catherine immediately wipe away her tears.
"Why did you get out of the room? You're not well, honey." Catherine walked over to Jasmine.
"I woke up because of the noise. What's up Mom? Why is Mom crying?" ask Jasmine.
"It's okay. There was a stranger who made a troublemaker" he said. "Let's go to the room again. You have to rest a lot."

Aiden sipped back the drink in his glass whether it was a glass to how much.
The memory of Catherine and the words Catherine kept ringing in her head like a hammer beating her head and chest. It felt so tight that many times he hit his chest which was very painful and tight.
'What have I been doing all this time? Why am I so stupid, Aiden. 'I've loved her, but this fear holds back this feeling.'
'I love Catherine....'
"Shit!" aiden sipped his drink again. His face was flushed and he was drunk. It felt like he wanted to let the liquid he was drinking burn his chest and himself.
Because of his stupidity, he realized one thing. And because of the deep trauma that made him continue to hurt the woman he loved.
He was afraid of being hurt again, but even he hurt others.
"Stupid!" Aiden laughed a little. He laughed at himself. How stupid of him.
Unknowingly her tears were shed from her eyes.
On the doorstep Harry was watching his friend. He didn't want to bother Aiden at all. He knows Aiden is frustrated at the moment.

Catherine just got out of her office. He was walking to his car in the basement parking lot of special officials. He walked casually to his car by pulling out his car key pressing the unlock button.
Before he got to his car. Suddenly, someone covered his mouth. Catherine who was shocked had rebelled but her strength immediately went limp. His body fell down and he fell unconscious.
"Rapidly take it to the car" exclaimed the man holding Catherine's body.
There were two people carrying Catherine's body into the minibus and one was driving. And immediately leave that place.
***
Aiden just woke up. He was drunk all night and remembered nothing.
This is Aiden's weakness. He could not drink and while drunk, he was completely unable to control himself and remember anything.
"You awake?" the question made him look at the source of the voice.
"Lala?" pekik Aiden sees a woman who only wears tangtops and hotpants. "Why are you here?"
Aiden is already upset. He was afraid that things would happen again.
"Who are you expecting here?" lala asked with a small smile.
"Lala, I'm seriously asking you. You brought me here?" ask Aiden.
"That's how."
"W-what are we?"
Aiden's words hung in the air with an expression of great shock and horror.
"Your expression is like a woman who's been raped," someone's kekeh makes Aiden look at her.
"Harry," he exclaimed.
"Did you want to watch the hot scene last night? Uch I got aroused," joked Harry.
"Stop joking. It's not funny" exclaimed Aiden who knew that nothing happened last night.
Aiden got out of bed.
"Aiden, I brought you a drink and some dizzy medicine" Lala exclaimed.
Aiden looked at Lala, then he looked at Harry.
"Why is he here?" ask Aiden.
"Evenings he was worried about you who were unconscious. So I let him come here" Harry replied casually and left the room.
"Do you not like me so much?" ask Lala.
"I don't want to talk about this. You just keep the medicine on the nightstand, then I take it," said Aiden went to go into the bathroom.
Lala was only able to sigh and keep the tray she carried on the nightstand.
