His Purpose
117. Intricacy

"Maria can be both a medicine and a poison to Gibran. But we can get rid of the poison by changing Gibran's mindset. He had to take away his guilt and live in relief. But that would be impossible if the two of them still closed each other down. Especially Gibran, he needs to reveal everything to Maria, but on the other hand it also has considerable risks."

"It would be very dangerous if Mary remembered everything. An injury to his head can be fatal."

Nick was stunned to hear Evan's words. He didn't expect Gibran's life to be this complicated. Not enough family problems, love problems must be made so strange.

"Yesterday, what you did was actually aimed at convincing Master's feelings, right?"

Evan nodded. "Gibran must be firm with his stance. If she wants to love Maria, then she has to take her guilt away."

"But that's impossible" muttered Nick who was later justified by Evan.

The views of both are equally focused on the two lovebirds in front there. Gibran and Maria were spending the morning in the hospital garden. Maybe Gibran invites Maria to sunbathe considering the weather today is quite sunny. The sun is warm too.

Evan said, Mary can be a medicine for Gibran. Only the woman was able to turn Gibran's originally cold countenance warm in an instant.

The man who upholds his arrogance is even willing to kneel just because his wife's legs feel sore. Gibran never touched anyone else's feet, perhaps Mary was the only one who had that chance.

"What about Mr David Willis?"

Evan shrugged his shoulders. "Either. For sure he won't keep quiet. Children in the womb of Mary can be a boomerang in his life. Because the baby is Gibran's strongest reason for separating from Willis's family, while Willis himself has the ambition of holding Gibran in his power."

"Gibran independent person. To him standing under the auspices of others is something that hurts self-esteem."

"Other people are so eager to be heirs" said Nick Samar.

Evan who heard that chuckled softly. "You know for yourself your master can get everything without an inheritance. The proof, his power is able to silence even a president."

"Originally right. I even thought that only He would dare to be plugged in to the number one in government."

They laughed at the fact. Still fresh in Nick's memory as Gibran asks the American president to bomb his own state facility.

Imagine for yourself how much you have to pay for compensation.

"Not that one!" There was the sound of Mary's cry.

The woman looked scowled with an annoyed face, while in front of her Gibran stood in confusion with a half-tired face.

I don't know what Maria's request this time was so that the man could let out a frustrated and desperate expression.

Usut have their mouth is talking about Korean boyband who seems to be the middle of Maria likes lately.

Mary who forgot to ask Gibran one of the song titles, of course Gibran is like a fool now. Indonesian music alone Gibran did not know, the British based also he rarely listened. Evan said Gibran's life was monotonous. The man hardly ever listened to music.

Perhaps the first song he enjoyed was when Maria sang in a competition on campus.

"Wrong! That's not the lyrics!" Now Mary is seen whining her feet in the grass.

The woman was also no less frustrated with Gibran. Her husband always failed in singing the desired song. Gibran searched the song on the internet and listened to it.

"I can't sing, Plum .." lamented Gibran patiently. "This alien language is making me sick of it" he continued quite dramatically.

"Coko can speak Japanese, English for sure, Thailand is more than capable, I've also heard Koko speak Russian. Then why can't Koko speak the Korean I like ...?"

Gibran threw away his face in despair. Why, the hell, should that woman have such senseless cravings? Not yet born, the child was already fond of torturing Gibran.

"Mahaha ..."

The sound of laughter that sounded quite far away made Gibran turn his head. His face immediately darkened to find Evan and Nick who he believed was laughing at him.

God fucking. You have to take responsibility for making me lose face, son!

"Slow down!"

"It's slow, honey."

"Want to knock me out of this wheelchair? Push it right!"

"Where it may be," scowled Gibran. "What's wrong with me, Plum? You seem to keep blaming me. It feels like you're getting revenge for something."

"Indeed? So right? What did I do wrong?"

"Much."

"Anything?"

"But many! Don't ask anymore."

Gibran gave a sigh of surrender. Well, let's consider this a penance. Gibran himself did not know what sin he had committed against Mary. Outside of their past, of course.

"Coko knows not?"

"Hm?" Gibran's voice was sounding lazy pushing the wheelchair.

"The man in my dream, I was like I was seeing Koko when I saw her."

"Your jaw forms are exactly the same. Her lips are just as thin. Anyway almost the same, maybe even very same."

Gibran was silent as he pondered. "I told you to forget about that guy, but you took him all the way to the dream."

"He's handsome."

"Where do you know he's handsome. Isn't what you see only half of his face?"

"Indeed. But I know he's handsome like Koko." Maria looks enthusiastic.

While Gibran gave a faint snort with lips smiling brightly. "He's just a loser" he whispered indistinctly.

"Koko said something?"

"none. Come on, you've got to rest."

"Coko's leaving?"

"Just for a second. I left after your papa came here."

"Coko's better with Papa?"

Gibran. "When did I fight with him?"

"Do you think I didn't know your relationship was so cold?"

"It's not a serious thing, and it's not something you need to think about" Gibran said. His big hand rubbed the face of Mary who looked up. The woman dismissed him annoyed.

"I still want to hear Koko sing that song. Anyway Koko has to learn. When I tell you later Koko has to."

Gibran groaned. "Come ... What is my fault that you punished me like this, Plum?"

"Wrong Koko? Maybe there isn't. But I'm upset that Celine could have an old photo of Koko while I don't."

"What do you guys actually have in common? Why does he seem to know Koko's past? Have you ever dated before? Answer!"

Gibran's forehead is wrinkled. "The line? Who's she?"

Maria grunts in disbelief. Does Gibran pretend to forget?

"Not to act stupid. Wh why? Afraid of being caught?"

"What do you mean, anyway? I've never had a relationship with any woman."

"Lied!"

"For God's sake what do I do to make you believe?"

"Change all the assets Koko has become in my name."

Maria grinned in heart. Oh, of course she's not a woman who wants to lose. And again, he believes Gibran will not be able to do it.

Unexpectedly, the man quickly replied. "okay."
