"Brother! Brother!"Slowly, Ethan's closed eyes began to open, finding the face of his sister, who was now the only family he had left.The face that clearly showed concern for him managed to make Ethan smile at the corner of his mouth."Don't worry, I'm fine," Ethan said to his sister.Amel nodded, even though it was clear that she had just stopped crying. She then helped her brother get up from his sleep."Wait a moment. Let me get a basin of water to compress your wounds, Brother," Amel said and then left.After the woman's departure, someone approached Ethan, making the man lift his face to see who was coming towards him."I'm Melati. Thank you for the help you gave. I'm very grateful and indebted to you," said the woman, whose name turned out to be Melati. She was the woman Ethan had saved."Ethan. Just call me Ethan," Ethan replied, seeming to respond as a mere sign of respect."I promise I'll pay back the money you lent. I'll pay it all back in installments," Melati replied to

That tense night was truly felt, managing to make the hair on the backs of everyone's necks in the rice field stand up in horror.They all looked scared and sympathetic but didn't have the courage to defend him. They also didn't want to be affected by it all."Where are you going?!" Ethan asked, immediately holding back his sister's arm. At that moment, Amel was about to go forward to see closer. The thing was, the girl's body was small and short, so it's no wonder she couldn't see anything. Unlike Ethan, who clearly had a tall physique."Ish! It's okay, bro. I just want to see it closer. If I stay here, I won't be able to see anything," Amel replied, feeling annoyed.The crackling fire was the only sound Amel could hear, she could only stare at the billowing smoke starting to fly into the air."No. You can't go far from me. This is dangerous, I don't want to take any risks with you," Ethan insisted firmly.For some reason, he felt he just had to be possessive of that woman's safety

The farewell party was held so grandly.For the first time, Citra attended such an event not as someone who was part of it, but as a guest.She really didn't expect it could be this different if she played the role of a guest.A radiant smile naturally bloomed on her beautiful face.Everyone seemed to applaud excitedly when it turned out that the woman Citra had succeeded in creating became the center of attention among all the children and guests there, ranking number one among the 3 kids present.Joy clearly emanated from Amel's face as she raised the trophy she was holding towards Ethan and Citra.Before they knew it, the event was over and everyone started to go out to take photos with their parents.The same went for Amel, who then came over carrying her trophy and certificate."Big Bro Ethan! Big Sis Citra! Look what I just got!" Amel exclaimed, showing off.The two of them then smiled and nodded, agreeing that they were also very proud of the girl."Happy graduation, Amel."Cit

"Do you want to sleep together?" Citra asked, seeming to feel bad upon seeing Ethan deciding to sleep on the sofa."Hmm...I mean, in the same room. But we'll have different sleeping places," Citra clarified. She looked flustered by her own words.Ethan chuckled before finally shaking his head."You go to sleep. I'm used to sleeping anywhere. So, don't worry about me," Ethan replied, appreciating the woman's offer."Okay, then I'll go to my room first. Good night.""Night. Sweet dreams," Ethan said, waving his hand.The woman then entered her room, leaving Ethan alone outside that room.Citra immediately shook her head, dismissing any thoughts she felt were strange, and tried to control her mind."What's wrong with me?! No! I can't be like this. What was I just thinking?" Citra muttered incoherently. She then went to the bathroom to wash her face, then took a lying position on her bed.Just as Citra was about to close her eyes, suddenly the memory of Ethan speaking came to her mind.

"Good morning, Mrs. Citra!"Citra's usually flat and cold facial expression gradually changed to show a slightly friendlier aura.However, aside from those two traits being ingrained characteristics of hers, Citra was also currently enveloped in a feeling of irritation that made it difficult to control herself.Citra closed her eyes as she passed by some employees who greeted her.Regardless, Citra was currently the new person who should be able to bring positive energy to those around her.It's just that there was no way around it, it was difficult for Citra to do all that.Citra hurried to her office, closing the door behind her as she leaned against it."Are you okay?"That question made Citra shift her gaze. She had just realized that she was no longer alone in the room.There was Ethan, focused on his computer, sitting calmly at his desk.Citra shook her head, indicating that she was fine."Seems strange," Ethan muttered, as if he could read the woman's mind.He then refocused on
