...I try to walk even though my feet are bound by the chains of a cruel past....
...Because I know you are in a speck of light in my future. ...

Christ could only grit his teeth in silence as he watched Neona relax waiting for him in his study.
"Hi, Honey. Why are you ignoring my message?" asked the woman in a sickening sweet tone.
"I'm busy Neona, don't bother me with insignificant things."
Christ walked around past Neona to sit in her work chair. He really didn't want to get close to that woman.
"not important? So I'm not important to you? Wow... am I important if I approach Agatha?" threaten the woman now walking closer.
"Silence Neona! I told you not to mess with that and Agatha. If you do, I won't hesitate."
"I've also told you that you must comply with my wishes in return. Equally beneficial isn't it?"
"Neona, after a long time of not seeing each other, have you really gone crazy? You have no right to threaten me just because you know my past."
"I'm entitled, Christ. You left me for that woman. You think I'll just shut up?"
"I told you, I've never been in love with you, Neona. You forced our engagement, I've even been kind enough to accept."
"You should accept it to the end" said the woman, not to lose.
"Printing."
"I can't accept that woman to be your wife. Never will" Neona sat herself down at Christ's desk, looking at the man with her slanted smile.
"The point is I'll shut up now if you follow me. That's it," The woman brought her face closer to Christ.
"You have nothing to lose, Christ."
Christ just kept silent without showing any expression other than anger. He's got to figure out how to get rid of Neona as soon as possible.
"What do you want me to do?" he said in the end making the woman in front of him smile widely.
"Never ignore my messages. And whenever I want to see you, you have to come."
Neona touched the front of her shirt and slightly pulled Christ's body closer.
"Whenever I want it," he whispered as he looked deeply into the eyes of Christ who had not been willing to look at him.
"Now we should have Christ's lunch. I was hungry" he then got up first and walked lightly to the door.
Christ took a deep breath. He must hold back until he finds a way to get rid of Neona. For now there is no other way but to obey the woman.
Leon who had been waiting anxiously outside the room immediately confronted him.
"What does he want?" tanyanya is impatient.
"Let's go, he wants to have lunch with me now."
"What's? Does he have no job? Then you'll obey him?"
"For the moment yes. I have to think of a way to keep her quiet, you know for yourself what would happen if she spoke to Agatha. I don't want that to happen."
Leon frowned at his forehead which was instantly dizzy with this problem of his cousin.
"Leon, help me to keep everything from Agatha. At least until I can handle Neona."
Christ gently patted his cousin on the shoulder before stepping away following Neona. And Leon could only look on with pity at the state of his cousin.
"Why should there be such a complicated matter in your life, Christ," he murmured then passed towards his own room.

Agatha was on her way to her second meeting with Joshua when a message notification from Christ came from her phone.
^^^Sunshine, have you finished the meeting?^^^
^^^Don't forget lunch.^^^
^^^New for a moment but I've missed you.^^^
Agatha smiled reading her husband's message. Christ has always been diligent in sending messages but always ignored him.
^^^Yes.^^^
And that super short reply was sent.
"Why smile like that? Not usually," Joshua who had glanced at it saw a smile on Agatha's lips even though he himself was focused on driving.
"nothing. Just Christ," she replied short before focusing on the streets again.
"I'm glad to see you smile again like that. Do you feel happy now?"
"Ep... I hope so, it's still a little difficult but I have to deal with it right? And Joshie, I hope you're not tired of being with me all this time."
"What'sthis? Suddenly saying something like this? Oh, come on Agatha..."
He wants his best friend to also find love and live happily but he is also not willing to be left behind by Joshua.
"Agatha, please listen to me. I've never felt tired accompanying you all this time, NEVER GOING TO BE TIRED."
"And I'm not going anywhere, even if I have to get married I'll make sure the woman I marry will understand and accept the existence of our relationship."
Agatha smiled either relieved or moved but her heart warmed to Joshua's words.
"And I always beside you. I promise."
Joshua stretched out his little finger which Agatha then greeted with the same finger.
"Thank you, Joshie. You're my best mate I ever had."
"But don't love me more than your husband, I don't want to get beat up by Christ later" Joshua laughed at Agatha's little fist.

As promised that afternoon Agatha and Joshua went to Senna Rod.
They had not come and visited for a long time. But it's a little different on the agenda this time. Agatha went to Andreson Hospital first and asked Joshua to wait for her on the Senna Rod.
"What's there really need to be in there? Job from Gabriel?" joshua asked curiously because when he intended to accompany Agatha, his best friend refused.
"No. I have to see a doctor there."
"You sick? I'll just accompany you."
"no need. You wait for me on the Senna Rod, Felix has a night watch. I told him I was going to visit" Agatha explained.
Slightly hesitant, Joshua finally agreed to Agatha's request and left her best friend alone.
Actually Agatha had an appointment with an obstetrician at Anderson Hospital.
Nope.
Not because she's getting ready to get pregnant or anything. Quite the contrary, ever since she decided to accept and get in touch with Christ, just like the deal they made she did not want to get pregnant. Especially with the condition of his feelings not one hundred percent.
Agatha secretly visited an obstetrician at Anderson Hospital to keep her secret and received regular injections to prevent pregnancy. Maybe people will think she is doing special care in order to get pregnant after a long time from her marriage. No one knows this but him and his doctor. Even when her father gets a report from Gabriel about his regular visit, Agatha lies in answering this is her attempt to give offspring.
It sounds selfish, but Agatha is confident in all the decisions she chooses for herself.
"Miss Agatha, I think you forgot our schedule because it was 30 minutes late" Helen's doctor said kindly as Agatha entered the room.
"sorry. The previous meeting finished longer," he replied.
"It's okay, I understand. But miss, I feel uncomfortable having to lie to your father when he asks me a few times."
"Jawab just like I said."
"Good, Miss."

Joshua walked down the corridor of Senna Rod while occasionally stopping to greet some old patients he met.
He brought some gifts for the deaf and speechless children patients who became his favorite. Just like Agatha she always felt comfortable around special needs children. It was like a world familiar to him. All the good things he got after meeting Mikael.
Yes, Mikael the good young man who also imprinted in his memory.
She once asked Mikael about the young man's feelings for Agatha after Mr. Anderson learned of their relationship.
The young man who always smiled warmly then wrote his answer to the small book he always carried.
I know Agatha as a kind and warm personality girl.
I did not approach him because his status turned out to be much higher and larger than I had imagined.
But all that doesn't change the way I judge it.
Beyond all that Agatha was just an ordinary girl I could call a gift from God in my different life.
I'm sure Agatha sees me the same way.
I know we're very different.
And it made us able to accept each other and live this up until now.
Humans are born the same.
Only kindness distinguishes one and the other.
The young man smiled widely as Joshua finished reading. And then Joshua realized that all the things they had could not buy the kindness Mikael had.
