Alexa has been asleep for a long time. He fell asleep with the story Juan told without using a book. Somehow Juan got the story, which is for sure Alexa really likes to hear. Juan is very good at telling stories. His voice, facial expression and hand movements fit perfectly into the story he was carrying.
Although the clock is now at 11:30 p.m., Finly can't close her eyes. While Juan was already sleeping soundly while his hand held Alexa's hand. Finly often sees Aldo and Alexa also falling asleep like that.
Slowly Finly came out of the room. He forgot to take his medicine today. While spending time with Alexa, Finly did not feel pain. It may be true what the priest said. A happy heart is medicine. But a broken spirit shaves the bones.
After taking the medicine, Finly chose to sit in the living room while enjoying the special milk that the doctor prescribed for her.
"Why haven't you slept?" Juan asked who came out of the room.
"The bed is narrow. I don't like sleeping too tight." Finly said he was deliberately upset so Juan would go home.
"Then I sleep on the couch. You go into the room."
Finly looked at Juan. "Why don't you just go home?"
"I'm afraid Alexa will look for me when she wakes up."
"Let's tell him you have a job. Alexa would understand."
Juan sat down next to Finly. He grabbed both of Finly's hands and held them tightly. "Fin, let's rebuild the relationship first. I have never stopped loving you until now. I know that I hurt you in the past by choosing to leave instead of having a long-distance relationship."
"I don't love you anymore."
"Do you still love Jeronimo or do you still love Geraldo?"
Finly pulled his hand from Juan's. "You know about my relationship with Jero?"
Juan nodded. "I know what caused you to divorce Geraldo. Your foster sister, isn't she? You secretly have a relationship with him. But everything changed because Jeronimo was now happy with your sister-in-law."
Finly lowered. "This is God's punishment for not being faithful to Aldo. I accept this pain with sincerity."
Juan moved. He knelt down before Finly and held Finly's hands again. "Let's rebuild this relationship. Let's live together happy days. I want to make up for all the grief I've ever made on you that caused you to fall in love with Jeronimo."
"I'm sick, Juan. Anyway I've been moving on from you for a long time."
"I think we can be happy together. I can make you fall in love with me again."
Finly looked at the first love of her life. The man who taught her many things. "I just want to spend the rest of my life with Alexa. I don't want anything else."
Juan kissed Finly's hand very gently.
"I want you to think again, Fin."
Finly stand. "Tonight or later, my answer is still the same." Then he immediately went into his room.
Juan looked at Finly's back that disappeared behind the door. Hearts sad. Finly refused. But he will not back down. Honestly, Juan who really wants to have children in his life, already likes Alexa in their first meeting. Alexa has stolen his heart.
"The fire will fight for your mother's love again, Eca." Juan muttered and laid her body on the couch. No matter what tonight he slept on this narrow sofa. The important thing is that he can be close to the woman he loves.

Jeronimo looked at Giani's growing belly. She is like a woman who is 8 months pregnant only in terms of her gestational age just entering the 5th age. Maybe because in his wife's stomach there are two babies that continue to develop every day.
It's saturday. Today Jero accompanied Giani to his first cafe located not far from Aldo's office.
"Darling, sit down first. Later his legs are swollen because most of them stand." Said Jero who saw Giani who intervened himself concocted coffee because of the many customers who came also who ordered through online.
"A little while it's done. Bee wants coffee?"
Jero nodded. Giani also made coffee for her husband. "It's black coffee for you, my husband." Giani said she sat down next to her husband. Both are in the corner of the cafe. A little far from the other tables.
"Excuse me madam, this is a flower delivery for you." Said Roy. The manager in charge of this cafe.
Giani looked at the white rose. He thanked Roy. After the manager left, Giani took the greeting card and opened it.
...***hallo......
...so can I continue to admire you?...
...The more your belly grows, the more beautiful you look***....
...Me, your secret admirer....
Jero's face looked crimson withstanding anger and jealousy. "Bee, just let people admire me. I'm not going to return that feeling."
Jero looked at Giani with a frown. "It's clear what he did was wrong. You're not a single girl. But the wife of the man."
"You used to bother people's wives, too, Bee. Is this karma?"
Jero's face became tense. His feelings suddenly felt unsettled. Is this really karma for everything I've done in the past?
"Darling, if this is karma, you're not going to be in that person's game, are you? You're not going to make me suffer, are you? I don't want you to betray me. I'm going to go crazy because I'm jealous. I might be able to do things that are beyond reason."
Giani smiled looking at Jero's frightened face. He already knows enough how crazy Jero is if jealous. In his hands was that handsome face of a bule. "I'm not going to betray you, Bee. I'll be loyal to you."
Jero immediately hugged his wife with a feeling of relief. He knew that his wife was a good woman who would never cheat on him.
"Bee, I'm serving customers first huh.." Giani stands. She gave a sweet kiss on her husband's cheek before leaving. Giani did not want this pregnancy to make him lazy to move.
After Giani walked away, Jero stared at the lebel that bound the rose. His hand moved to take his phone and photograph it. The photo was sent to Rudy, the driver and confidant of Jero. He then wrote a message: please investigate the person who always orders white roses in this flower shop. He has been sending this flower for my wife for a week.
Jeronimo put his phone back. He was furious with people who became secret fans of Giani.

Joana opened the door to her apartment. He was surprised to see who was standing there. "Finly?"
"Can I come in?"
"Of course!" Joana widens the door leaf and lets Finly in.
The two sat facing each other in the living room.
"What's wrong?" Joana asked after the two kept quiet for a while.
"Alexa is sad because you haven't married her father yet. What was? Didn't you guys order the wedding dress?"
"I'm not ready to get married yet." Joana.
"Joana, I'm very supportive if you marry Aldo mas. He's a good guy. All this time I've been making him suffer from cheating behind his back. Give her the happiness she never gets with me."
"He will be happy when he is with the woman he loves. Aldo still loves you. You are the first woman in her life. He won't be able to forget you just like that. Why aren't you guys back together? Alexa would be better off with her mom and dad."
Finly shakes. "Mas Aldo deserves a better woman than me. Who will stand by him until old age. I can't do that."
"Because you're sick?"
Finly lifted her face and looked at Joana. "You know what?"
"sorry. I overheard your conversation with Aldo in his office. I really love Aldo. But I also know that deep down, he still loves you and cares for you."
Finly took a deep breath. "I've wasted the opportunity to be a good wife to her. I hurt Aldo too much. My only desire right now is to have more time to see Alexa grow. If I could see him into adulthood, I don't know. But what makes me not worry that when I have to go, I don't have to be afraid because I left Alexa in the right hands."
Joana looked at Finly. He postponed his marriage to Aldo because he wanted to see the former couple reunited. "If God still gives you time, let it be spent with your family. Because if I had to marry Aldo now, I knew I'd hurt you."
"Hey, you won't hurt me, Joana."
"sorry. I can't."
Finly was sad. Joana doesn't want to marry Aldo because she knows she's sick. But on the other hand Finly is grateful because Joana really is a good woman. And that makes his desire to marry Joana and Aldo stronger.
He came out of Joana's apartment with a bad feeling. He had not yet convinced the woman to marry Aldo.
When he drives his car. Suddenly an idea appeared in his head. Finly smiled even though he knew the idea was ridiculous.
***********
"The flower was in the message over the phone. And I've been looking into the number of who called the florist. This is the man." Rudy put a picture on Jeronimo's desk. The eyes of the bule man instantly lit up. His emotions immediately peaked.
Who is that guy?
What was the idea that Finly was going to do to get Aldo to marry Joana?
