The Forever Mine
Chapter 17
Ana came out with a cry that was still unrelenting. He hoped that the test of his life would end soon because he could no longer face a man like Nicholas. The man is like an angel of death who wants to take his life.
Ana was sitting in a waiting chair on the ground floor, her breathing still faltering due to the tightness she felt. Elisha who had just finished one room immediately stopped seeing Ana's alarming condition. Elisha always saw Anastasia crying and moody like this. "What's really going on Ana? Do not hesitate to tell me," said Elisha with great pity.
Anastasia cried even more at Elisha's question. He immediately pulled Elisha's body very tightly, he wanted to tell a story but he still felt afraid if he had to tell the test of his life. Although he was sure that Elisha was a very good and trustworthy person, he was still unable to tell Elisha.
"Maybe the problem you're facing is very hard, even though I don't know what problem you're facing. But believe me Ana, you will find a solution and a way out" said Elisha while gently hugging Anastasia.
Anastasia was worried, but she held firm to not tell Elisha in advance. "I'm fine, thanks for caring for me." You could say, only Elisha was the only friend he had. As long as he chose to move and settle in Mexico, he had absolutely no friends. All he had was his mother now who was lying weakly helpless.
Anastasia felt grateful that God had brought Elisha into her life and only Elisha could now understand Anastasia's condition. Anastasia also promised that if someday when her heart was relieved she would dare to tell Elisha. Anastasia nodded and smiled as Elisha left because there was another empty room she had to clean.

At night, Ana was still feeling sad, she was walking alone to go back home and put a fake smile on her face. Nick's words and behavior really make Ana disappointed, if he had to get out of the hotel about how much fine should be paid by her? oh come on Ana, let alone pay the fine, to eat was already difficult, just let Nick say whatever he wants, he will get bored and leave soon.

Nicholas is busy with his cell phone, I don't know what he's doing. It's just that he looks like he's figuring out someone's whereabouts. He looked out the window if it was raining very hard outside and he saw the point of the person he was looking for was still around the hotel where he was staying.
Nicholas wanted to approach that person who was none other than Anastasia, but he did not want his plan to go to waste. He still did not feel enough to destroy Anastasia even though in his deepest heart he said that he had to stop all his evil plans against Anastasia.
Nicholas was reminded again with a smile and a gentle voice from Anastasia. For Nicholas Anastasia is indeed very much different from his other family, if his father and brother are very crazy with treasures, but Anastasia never crazy for the property she has. Nicholas always remembered Anastasia's request that he learn to live independently and simply without relying on the treasure given by his wealthy parents.
Nicholas' guilt towards Anastasia grew because now he always saw Anastasia moody with eyes that always looked as if she was crying. Nicholas thinks what he did to Anastasia has gone so far as to make the woman he loves look like she is so tormented by her present circumstances.
"But I'm sorry Ana because I still want to see you suffer" Nicholas told himself.
Nicholas ruffled his hair so violently that it made his hair now fall apart but still look very handsome. He had never thought of being a bad person before, if it were not for his suffering in the past by the family of the woman he loved he might not have been like this.
