Meet old friends

Arnold enters Hotel X where he will meet the man who sent him the letter. Somehow he felt his actions this time were very appropriate. The filling has never been wrong all this time.


The best thing he had and was very useful in his business. Arnold told the receptionist who he was looking for. The receptionist smiled and bowed slightly to take him to the elevator.


Receptionist: "Please, Mr. Arnold."


They both got into the elevator. The receptionist dialed a few numbers on the elevator and the elevator started to creep up to the highest place in the hotel.


Ting! When the door finally opened, Arnold saw a very spacious room in front of him. The receptionist let him in. Arnold stepped in there and saw someone standing by the window.


The man turned around and smiled at her.


Jodi: "Welcome, Arnold. Please sit down."


🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺


Remember the guy who was obsessed with Rara and almost raped her in the campus sports warehouse? Jodi should still be in prison but he was released on a very expensive bail.


Alex and Mia try to keep Jodi from being free but her papa's power is too great. Jodi was sent out of the country afterwards. He has not heard from her since.


What happened to Jodi?


🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺


Arnold was sitting on the couch with Jodi, he's not saying anything right now. Arnold held himself back from saying anything until Jodi finished talking.


Jodi: "I know you must still be angry with me after what I did to Rara and her Mama. But I really want to make amends."


Arnold : "Redeeming? Meanin?" Arnold couldn't bear to talk either.


Jodi pointed at a brown map on the table. Arnold opened it and looked up to read the contents. He looked at Jodi who was standing up and unbuttoned his bottom shirt.


Arnold saw a long scar in Jodi's stomach.


Jodi: "It's been my karma all this time. The doctor sentenced me to stage 4 liver cancer right after I got overseas." Jodi smiled touching the scar.


Arnold: "So you've had surgery?"


Jodi: "Yes, doctors remove most of the already damaged liver. I almost died afterwards. I was dying and lost consciousness. You know what that feels like, right? Whatever you see, you feel."


Arnold nodded. He had felt what Jodi felt.


Jodi: "I was given a second chance and I spent a year paying for my mistakes, making up for it by apologizing to people I've hurt."


Arnold looked at Jodi's condition now, looking thinner and tired. In stark contrast to her who used to look healthy, arrogant and also naughty. Jodi really turned 180'.


Arnold: "If you want to apologize, just apologize to Rara and her mother. I think they've forgiven you."


Jodi: "I thought so, but I don't think it will be that easy. More than I heard about your illness. I thought I'd make amends by helping you."


Arnold: "I think my illness will be my business."


Jodi: "Listen, Arnold. You know what the risks are, everything I've said in the letter. Including expert doctor contacts you can see for consultation."


Arnold: "Who knows you're paying them to say all that shit."


Jodi: "You know it's the truth and not nonsense."


Arnold: "I can't believe you yet."


Jodi: "I know what you're thinking, it's all just my revenge. But I've really changed now."


Arnold: "What will you get? Apologize or my wife's heart?"


Jodi: "What do you mean?"


Arnold: "You love Rara?"


Arnold smiled smirkily, this man in front of him clearly loved Rara. Everything he does is clear to keep Rara happy.


Arnold: "Are you going after me, you're going after him?"


Jodi: "I promise I won't do that."


Arnold: "Don't promise me something you can't keep or I'll haunt you for the rest of your life."


Jodi: "You will not die. You'll stay with him."


Arnold: "His choice is either dead or paralyzed. I'd rather die than be paralyzed for the rest of my life."


Arnold stood up to leave the place but again the pain came attacking him. His body slid down to the floor.


He saw and heard how Jodi panicked and called out to his men. Arnold kept his consciousness. He endured extreme pain as Jodi's men carried him into bed.


Arnold saw some white-clothed people enter the room as well. He could recognize that it was the expert doctor Jodi said in her letter.


They gave Arnold an injection that slowly could relieve the pain in his waist. His breath was no longer crowded either.


Jodi seemed anxious waiting for Arnold's condition to improve. He almost called Rara but abandoned his intention.


Doctor: "It's just a painkiller injection. Not healing your pain. Even if you want to go to therapy, you'll still need these injections for the rest of your life."


Arnold: "If I had the same surgery, right? Even worse, I could be paralyzed."


Doctor: "Until now, many tools have been created to help people with paralysis become independent. Depends on your will for that."


Arnold: "I'll think, doctor. But for now, I just want to go to therapy."


Jodi: "You can start right away. I've arranged all her schedules with the doctor. But you have to be spirit ya."


Arnold looked at Jodi who was smiling sincerely. Death can turn a bad person into a good person.


Arnold: "Please don't say anything to Rara now. I'll try to heal. I'm not giving up now."


Jodi: "I'll help you. Anything I can do to make amends."


Arnold: "Thank you."


Jodi: "I should thank you. Thank you for trusting me."


Arnold closed his eyes, he was a little sleepy and Jodi let him rest.


Jodi again spoke to an expert doctor,


Jodi: "Do your best, all the therapy, all the medicine, anything that can make it heal. Including his psychic treatments. I think Dr. Kevin can help. The doctor treated her from the beginning."


Arnold heard everything Jodi said. The man knows clearly what happened to Arnold's body more than Arnold himself.


Is this what is called sincere love? Do everything to keep the people he loves happy. Including keeping his love rival. No, they're not love rivals.


It is not a love triangle, only a love in silence that keeps its love.
