"Sorry, I can't." Quirino said in a hoarse voice to Silvi who was already half naked underneath.After saying that, Quirino immediately got up from his position on top of Silvi's body and then picked up his shirt which had been scattered on the floor.Silvi widened her eyes when she felt the weight of Quirino's warm body leaving her.They haven't even started yet and Quirino is about to leave? How can he be so cold?Silvi immediately buttoned up the shirt she was wearing and then ran after Quirino who was about to leave her apartment."Quirino!" Silvi, who was only wearing a shirt and underwear, immediately ran into Quirino's back and hugged him tightly, pressing her face against the man's broad back.Quirino was not surprised, did not resist or move in response, he just stood there, frozen. Letting Silvi say what she wants to say."Quirino, give me a chance," said Silvi with suppressed tears.All this time Silvi thought Quirino was the right man for her, that their social status was
Quirino doesn't know whether his decision is right or not, but one thing is certain, he wants to return.It was a desire he had harbored for a long time and now he has a reason to return.The only reason he wanted to come back.After yesterday's call, Quirino was very sure that it was Morana's voice. It must be her voice. Quirino knows her voice very well.Even though Morana didn't say much and only said his name, Quirino could feel the despair that the girl was facing, just from one sentence.Was it because Quirino had overly interpreted this brief moment? Or was this just his delusion because he kept thinking about Morana?Whatever the reason and somehow with how Quirino felt he decided to return, and whatever it was… here Quirino was, waiting impatiently on his flight.Quirino felt that he was really crazy, with just that one word and Quirino had run as fast as he could to approach Morana.Quirino knew that what Morana used was his brother's number and how Morana spoke in a whisper
As Daniel had expected, Quirino was waiting for him in his study.Daniel stood frozen in the doorway, stared at Quirino's back which was turned away from him, stared at his row of medical books, but it seemed that he was only doing that so that he would have something to do.Because even though Quirino heard the sound of the study door opening and closing and Daniel's footsteps echoing in the empty room, he remained unmoved and still did not turn around.Even though the conversation hasn't started and Quirino still refuses to look at him, Daniel knows and understands that the six months that have passed have not changed anything about Quirino and his feelings for Morana."Quirino," said Daniel who then walked over to his brother. He stopped just a few steps away from him, not sure if he should approach him any closer.Quirino slowly turned his body and when their gazes met, everything became foreign to both of them. It was as if they were no longer the two brothers who were very close
Quirino walked down the corridor of the hospital, every step he took seemed to have its own meaning for him. Every step brought him closer to Morana. Every step is filled with regret, anger, disappointment and other feelings that Quirino cannot explain in words. He was really angry when he learned that Daniel had sent Morana to a mental health institution without her consent. How come? When Quirino last met Morana and their relationship was still pretty good, Morana didn't show anything. Except for the fact that she had visited Dr. Sherry, for several meetings, everything seemed fine with her. Quirino knew this because at that time, he had ordered several people to follow Morana because she suddenly disappeared and her whereabouts was unknown. There were no indications that Morana needed to be treated. Hence, how could Morana end up in a place like this now?! Something is wrong with Daniel and Morana's relationship! Quirino wouldn't have left Morana if he knew Daniel would take
Some people live in their own world, in their dark and gloomy world, they find freedom.Not many people understand this, and not many want to understand by heart every unspoken word and every unheard cry.Morana let her lips be kissed by Quirino, while a burning cigarette in her left hand almost burned the remaining tobacco into a thin puff of white smoke that emitted its characteristic scent.Quirino bit Morana's lower lip resentfully because she didn't get a response from the woman. While her body was in his arms, but her mind seemed to be drifting somewhere else.This wasn't the first time Morana had treated Quirino like that, one could almost say she had always treated him like that.With mounting frustration, Quirino grabbed the blouse that Morana was wearing and tearing it to shreds.It was only after he did that Morana gave him a little attention by slapping Quirino hard on the cheek."You don't have to slap me!" The angry Quirino jumped down from the bed and walked to the clos
"If you don't want help, that's fine." Quirino answered curtly, he was a bit annoyed with the way Morana turned down his kind offer.The clock struck 16.00 p.m precisely and the sky seemed to pour out all its anger with the deafening sound of thunder and rain that seemed like it would not stop falling.At that moment Quirino decided to leave Morana alone, but at the same time Morana decided to answer."If you really want to help me, instead of a jacket, I need money," Morana said in her clear and firm voice, as if she was asking for the money that was rightfully hers in the first place.Quirino's decision to offer his jacket and Morana's unabashedly asking him for money, became the beginning of their story.Quirino exhaled slowly when he saw Morana casually throw the torn shirt she was wearing before and stood with a black bra covering her chest and changed clothes as if the room was only her.Morana acted as if the man there was invisible or maybe Morana never thought that Quirino ex
This time he took out his basketball uniform which was still damp with sweat and threw it right at Morana's feet.For a moment Morana didn't show any reaction, her eyes just stared straight at the pile of clothes lying right under her feet."Why? Didn't you ask earlier, you will do everything for money?" Quirino nodded at the dirty clothes on his feet. "I want you to wash this." He kicked lightly his basketball shirt towards Morana.However, instead of taking the shirt, a smile filled with disapproval tugged at the corners of Morana's lips."You think I am your maid?" Morana asked boldly, as if she didn’t know how to be scared. "You think two hundred is enough?"Not only he is rich and is a potential successor to a big company in this country, but because Quirino has been educated in business and leadership since childhood, he has a bigger and more dominant ego than teenagers his age.Therefore, seeing Morana's arrogance and the way she spoke, made Quirino clench his fists to hold bac
Quirino blinked his eyes while observing the appearance of this woman in front of him.Morana was just wearing the worn out jeans and oversized sweater she used to wear, without carrying a bag or anything!this woman is crazy!"I'm out of the house, not running away." Morana corrected Quirino's words, her brow furrowed in displeasure. "If you run away, it means that the people at home don't want me to go but I decided to leave, but I left the house which means it doesn't make a difference whether I'm there or not," she said it lightly.Quirino is still trying to understand the current situation. "Then why are you here?" This is what makes him so hard to understand her."Since you said I'm your girl to everyone, so it's only natural that you're the one I'm looking for." Morana answered casually, although she herself never confirmed the relationship between them.This is a strange relationship, based not on liking, but with curiosity that makes Quirino attracted to Morana, while the gir
