"Master, I am just a consolation flower that has no fragrance!"

"I don't care! I'll be a bee that lands there," said Jack.

"Sir, isn't it that in the end when the flower withers the bee will also leave?"

Jack at this time could only stare at the eyes of the woman in front of him with sadness.

"Does this mean you are rejecting me?"

Jack's eyes were already turning red as tears began to flow, but Jack continued trying to keep the tears from falling.

Eveline now can only try to awaken Jack, if Eveline is a woman Jack will never have. Eveline's dark past can never be a light for life in the future.

"Sir, of course, I have no reason to refuse you! But sir, it would be better if you just treat me like an ordinary woman. You can still stop by, I will still receive you when you want to come!"

"But I want more than that!" Jack's eyes were starting to water now.

"Sir!"

Even though Jack knew, that he could never get this woman. But at least Jack will try to get this woman out of the shell he's always lived in. Someone weak will forever be weak, but someone who loves will not let his woman remain weak.

All the clothes look neatly packed, all the clothes have been placed in a big bag. Today is Tania's last day living in Indonesia, after today Tania will stay forever in America. She will start her new life there.

"Is there anything else missing?" asked Gio to Tania.

"Looks like nothing! I've already packed all my stuff. Right now if you've finished packing your stuff then we'll leave right away!"

"Hm, I've also finished packing my stuff! We can go now. We have to get to the airport soon!"

Tania and Gio too started to go together. Today Gio looks very happy, he will go with the woman he loves. Right now Gio wants to tell Tania what's in his heart, but Gio tries to be patient. Gio will tell Tania about his feelings after they both arrive in America.

Even though he is doubtful, Gio cannot hold back his feelings too much. Tania must know his feelings, even though Tania will reject him later, at least. Gio just wants Tania to know that he is a man who will always love Tania.

After a long journey, Tania and Gio finally arrived at the airport. After an hour of waiting, finally, Tania and Gio got on their plane. Tania sat beside Gio.

"Gio!"

"Yes?"

"After today, you will be away from your parents. Are you sure you will leave them to accompany me?"

Tania started to ask Gio, but at this time Gio only smiled at Tania's words.

"Tania! I have something to tell you. I intend to tell you when we get to America!"

"What do you want to tell me?" now Tania started curiously.

"Before you know it, promise me. You can't stay away from me if you don't like it!"

"What do you mean? Why should I stay away from you?"

"In fact!"

At this time it was clear that Gio wanted to express his love for Tania, now that Tania saw Gio who was shy. Now Tania knows that Gio likes her.

"Looks like you have to prepare yourself first, you look nervous when you're about to say this. Gio you don't need to rush to say it,"

"But!"

"Gio I will give you the best answer! So prepare yourself. Find the right time to say this!"

Seeing Tania's smile, Gio now knows. If Tania also liked him and now Tania also knows, if at this time Gio likes her too. Gio just smiled faintly, today is the happiest day of his life.

"So now are we still friends?" asked Gio.

"We're still friends! After all, we have no reason to be enemies!"

"That's not what I meant! Do you still want to be my friend now? Or do you want to be my gfriend?"

Because Gio had already talked about his feelings, Gio immediately asked Tania to be his girlfriend.

"Yes, I want to be your girlfriend!"

The two people shared a smile, and Gio began to hold Tania's hand tightly. It was as if Gio would never let go of that hand, and soon the flight attendants announced it. If the plane they were traveling on was about to depart.

Tonight Eveline only looked nervous, the doctor told her that her younger sister's illness was getting worse. As the doctor examined her little sister, Eveline could only pray for good news. But it turned out wrong, the liver cancer She was currently suffering from was getting worse. And the chances of recovery are too slim.

"Doctor, how is Felicia? Is she okay? She's been fainting lately!" said Eveline this time worried.

The doctor only took a few long breaths, it seemed that this doctor did not have the heart to tell the condition of her younger sister, but somehow Eveline had to know this.

"His condition is getting worse! The possibility of recovery is very small and even impossible. Looks like you should prepare yourself, she might leave suddenly!"

"Is there no way to cure it?" Eveline asked now in despair.

"We as doctors, of course, will try to cure our patients. But on average, patients who have liver cancer will die. Even though they have been given treatment, their bodies will become weaker. Their condition will continue to worsen !"

"She's all I have now! If I lose her then I also have no reason to live!"

Eveline's tears at this time started to fall like rain, her heart hurt so bad hearing the bad news about her little sister's condition. Eveline is currently feeling very bad, even after she sacrificed everything for her little sister's recovery. But in the end, she had to accept the harsh reality.

"Nona, anda harus menguatkan diri anda. Saya hanya berharap jika anda dapat melewati ini semua!" Lalu saat ini, dokter pun mulai pergi meninggalkan Eveline di dalam ruangan inap adik perempuannya.
