In his room, Enji could not sleep. Though he still had to rest completely for post-coma recovery.
Enji stared at the green tea whose smoke was still billowing. Sighs. Karina forbade him to drink alcohol. Reluctantly, Enji grabbed the teacup, drinking the contents while staring out the window of the room. A cold wind hit Enji's face. The moon is covered in clouds, the night is as grey as Enji's heart. Enji smiled thinly.
Delicious too, Inner Enji, put back the teacup.
Rain drops hit the earth. Enji's eyes turned soft.
There's a longing. There is guilt and disappointment. There is love and reluctance. There was anger mixed. Really tightening the chest.
Enji turned his body, staring at the letter on the table. Take, open, and re-read it. As if you are not satisfied, Enji read it repeatedly.
Lastly, Enji squeezed the letter, then extended his hand to the raindrop that started rushing. The paper softens, crumbles and splashes in the grass. It is not formed and cannot be reunited.
Enji smiled coldly.
"alright. I've decided!"

It didn't take long, Jessica and her father had been found and taken to the headquarters by Karina's subordinates. It's not hard to find the two people who've been under surveillance.
Without wasting any time, Karina who had not slept while her two children and husband were already sleeping soundly, stepped out soundlessly so as not to disturb the three of them.
Karina looks at her watch, time shows at 01:00. Repeatedly sighed down the corridor towards the room where Jessica and Rudi were.
Karina slightly tightened her robe. Karina's cold gaze overcame the cold of the early morning cold. His sharp eyes blinked regularly, focusing forward. Karina clucked violently as her eyes caught the figure that had long since not appeared before her.
"I don't have time to play with you!"
"Go back to your place. If there's time I'll be there!"
Karina stepped up as the red figure left.
"Sister!"exclaim Enji waiting for Karina at the crossroad corridor.
Karina raised her eyebrows, her face showing a sign of dislike.
"You just realized. Not rest even wandering around! At least wear thick clothes!"ketus Karina's.
"Sister I'm totally cured. I'm healthy. Boring to keep lying in bed. I've been content to lie there for ten months. I can't sleep anyway. Thinking about my relationship with that woman, I felt that I should also go with Brother to meet her. Isn't this my problem with her? I have rights, right?"said Enji, showing a face of compassion, wiggling Karina's right hand spoiled.
Heh.
"All right."
Karina nodded, pulling her right hand to calm down.
Enji immediately exclaimed happily, jumping gleefully like a child who got candy.
"So what's your decision?"asked Karina, took off her robe and put her on Enji.
He was surprised and wanted to refuse. But Karina's sharp gaze made Enji comply, putting the robe on her body.
"You haven't fully healed. Cold air can worsen your condition. Today I understand but next time I'll lock you up in the room!"karina said, attention.
Enji smiled widely. Touching both his ears. Showing a convincing face.
"I promise, this is the last one, Brother!"
"So what's your decision?"
"Son will know later," Enji replied.
Karina snorted, stepping next to Enji who was walking beside her.
"Whatever decision you make, I hope you've considered it carefully. In any case, the decision you make will determine your future, as well as Bayu. I don't want you to be sorry for the wrong decision" Karina said.
"I feel like I've made the wrong decision. But this time, whatever I decide, whether it's right or wrong, I won't regret it" Enji said.
"If you regret it one day, I'll break both your legs!"threatening Karina was greeted with Enji's reassuring gaze.
"If I regret it one day, if Big Brother wants to take my life, I won't fight back" Enji promised.
Karina chuckles.
"Little boy, most promises aren't good either. I'll take your word in the afterlife if you renege on the promise you made!"
"So why bring the afterlife as if someone was about to leave immediately," complained Enji, his heart became distraught.
Enji stopped his steps, Karina automatically stopped.
"When death picks up, no one knows, Zi. The closest we are to this world after the Creator and our loved ones is death, the angel of death."
"Sister? You said it was like you were leaving and not coming back. Even if anyone has to go first it should be Brother's husband. He would be older, if not Mama or Papa Wijaya. Brother, please don't talk about death."
Enji held Karina's hands together. Karina is upset with Enji.
"You're saying they die first? How cruel you are. I told you death knows nothing! Hah .. after all I often bet on life but still live until now. Feel the happiness commonly felt by humans in general. Even if death comes to pick me up, I won't fight back" Karina said.
"No! You have to fight it!"
Enji yelled no take. Directly hugged Karina with reddened eyes. Karina fell silent. He also did not know why he was so in discussing death with Enji. Was this the instinct of someone who was about to leave the mortal world?
Karina shook her head slowly.
" We will live happily until our hair is bleached, along with our children, grandchildren, maybe even our great-grandchildren!"said Enji tightened his embrace.
"alright. Don't cry already. You look a lot like a little boy now, Zi," said Karina, calming Enji down as she rubbed back Enji's embrace.
"I beg you not to speak of death again, Brother," pinta Enji.
"Hm. Alright."
Karina said it in a gentle tone but her face looked far away.

Now Enji and Karina arrive at the door of the room where Jessica and Rudi are locked up. The guard opened the door for the Queen. Karina enters followed by Enji.
Inside the two find Jessica and Rudi sitting tied to a chair with their eyes closed, looking very sleepy but unable to sleep. Both reflexively straighten their heads with their foreheads furrowed alert when they hear a step approaching.
"Who? Who're you?"
Rudi made a sound, trying to find the direction of the step.
"Is there no other question? I've been fed up with that question for a long time, '" annoyed Karina.
"You? Are you …."
"Miss Karina! Why did you kidnap us?"cry Jessica who immediately recognized Karina's voice.
"Why? Of course to hold him accountable!"karina kold sahut.
"What responsibility? What's my fault with you?"jessica who felt broken once did anything wrong to Karina.
"I approved the resignation letter because you were able to pay the penalty. But you ran away after screwing up my sister's company. Resigning after a betrayal. You leave with honor, Jessica. I forgot, what is your job now? How does it feel to be blacklisted by KS Tirta Group?"
Jessica remained silent. Rudi looked surprised.
"Jessi is that right? So this is why you're taking me out of town?"
"Dad ... I .. I …."
"Dad disappointed in you, Jessi!"cut Rudi off, exhaling a rough breath.
He looked weak to have a child who had betrayed.
"It turns out the warrior nature is still in you, Mr. Rudi!"
Enji made a sound, making the two people freeze. Cold sweat started coming out of Jessica. Mr. Rudi himself is now getting down.
"You're wrong, Zi. That trait just reappeared after a long time lost, right Mister?"said Karina, with a mocking smile that neither of them could see.
"Ah right. I remember it," said Enji.
Enji smiled, looking down at Jessica.
Enji was curious about the closed eyes, telling the guard to open Jessica's blindfold.
"Tu ... sir?!"
Jessica was trembling to see Enji.
"Your name is Jessica, right? You are my employee, assistant, contract lover. It doesn't hurt too much that you betrayed me and the company. It's just that I hate betrayal the most" said flat Enji.
Jessica looked at him with a mixed look.
"Why? Why are you talking about this now? Can't you guys find me after I run? Why wait this long?"jessica asked, venturing out in a flat tone.
"Why again? Of course because there is more right to punish you than I do" replied Karina, staring at Enji.
"Your mother's death should blame me? Your inability should I bear it? We're just contract lovers, I also have a family, can't every time the need comes to you. This taste is only for the whole corn, should I put you first before my son? I thought you would be faithful and wait for me to come back, it turned out that was just my estimation," said Enji.
"But .. but Mr. says it will always be there for me" Jessica argued.
"In what circumstances? If I get hurt out there and go unconscious for months or years is it always there for you? Don't be naive, Miss. Our relationship is counted as only one month, also still limited to the contract, is it necessary to trust it? I don't blame you for that belief, we're just two different people forced to be together" Enji said.
"Unconscious? You mean all this time you?"
"Yes I'm in a coma. You know what's causing it? My fear of you caused my son to be angry and kidnapped!"sela Enji's.
"Why should I be angry at your mother's death? Death is determined, if it is time any effort is in vain. I honestly don't remember anything about you. But after reading all the information about us I decided to end this relationship. Miss Jessica, I'm removing you from this contractual relationship. The difference between us is huge. I can't live with someone who blames others for their incompetence!"
Jessica's eyes were perfectly rounded. Wanting to refute his tongue-tie. The regret now came to him. Just being able to shed tears represented her feelings.
Karina smiled faintly looking at Enji who took out a paper from her shirt then tore the paper. Jessica looked down, staring at the paper rips strewn across the floor.
"Tu-sir did you really forget about me?"
"Hm. I forgot all about you. If one day those memories come back, I won't regret this decision either" Enji said.
"Go as far as possible. Never show up in front of me. We're done. Later if the time brings us together again assume we have never met and connected. May your life be happy."
After that, Enji turned around and walked out of this room. Karina snorted a smile looking at Jessica who looked very regretful.
"I've been reminded not to play games with us but what are you doing? It's the result of your own actions."
"Miss, shouldn't you tell me Mr Enji is in a coma? You are the one who caused this misunderstanding to happen!"
Karina raised her eyebrows.
"My fault?"
"I originally wanted to tell you, but I was also struck by a disaster. I don't want to add to that sadness. I would also like to see how you behave towards this matter. I warned you too, but you didn't listen to it yourself. From the beginning, I was doubtful about your relationship with Enji. But I'm not like the others who did everything they could to keep you apart. I support you guys. Even our parents. We accepted you but you don't remember that. Is my family treating you badly?"
Karina raises Jessica's chin which is now down.
"Enji already wishes you a happy life after this. The bodyguard!"
"Take them away. As far as possible!"
Jessica's eyes were closed. Happy living? This regret was too deep, was he able to handle it? Jessica can't take this. His head felt very dizzy and finally unconscious.
Karina again snorted, turning to step out.
"It's finally finished too" murmured Karina.
