Chapter 2

"ALRIGHT, Rosemary wait for me, I'm going to say goodbye to my boss first." She looked at the boss, who had looked at her. And it's like he wouldn't agree with what she was going to say.

"Hurry up, sister, please."

"Yes, bye," she said when she got off the phone. "Sir—," she said as soon as the boss answered.

"It's not possible, Rossana," he replied immediately.

"But sir, it's an emergency; my sister needs me," she insisted.

"You're also needed here, and your workday isn't over yet," he shooed her away.

But Rossana couldn't stand her sister to be alone at the hospital right now because she was still young, so she decided.

"I'm leaving now, sir, because my family needs me more."

"All right, Rossana. Leave but remember this: there's no going back once you're out!" It's a threat from her boss.

Rossana stared at her boss. "If that's what you want, sir, it's okay now to give me my last salary." Yeah, even though she lost her job now, the most important thing is her family because she knows no one can help them.

The boss immediately took the money and gave her salary.

She took it and left without saying goodbye to her boss.

The boss just looked at Rossana, who came out. "I know you'll come back here, Rossana, but it's hard to find a job now," he said.

Sherry stood up immediately when someone rang the doorbell and she knew it was Edward.

When he opened the door, she was immediately greeted with a kiss from him. But Sherry immediately moved her lips away.

"Just wait, come in first, honey." She simply pushed him.

"Hmmm," Edward just murmured, and once again captured her lips.

"Edward, wait, what are you doing?" She walked towards the couch. It's like you haven't seen me in a long time. We just hung out last night.

Edward followed her. "I miss you right away, honey," He first pulled her towards him and hugged her. "I'm really excited about our upcoming wedding, so I can hug and kiss you like this every day." He captured her lips again.

Sherry let him what he do, so he couldn't say anything.

Why do I feel this way? It's not my fault that this is happening to me and Edward. Like I don't have a feeling or I don't love him anymore. Sherry said to herself.

Edward pulled her towards the couch. He sat down first and held her in his arms.

"Edward, what are you going to do?" Sherry pretended to ask him. But she knows what he wants to do.

His hands began to move all over her body. And his palm is looking for something. When he found what he wanted, he took off the hook of her bra. And he immediately lifted up her blouse. His lips moved fast, covering one Sherry breast.

"Hmmm," Edward muttered, sounding like a child at that moment.

Sherry wanted to stop what Edward did to her because she was not in the mood having a lovemaking. But she didn't do it because he might be offended. Even though she wasn't in the mood, she try to accompanying him.

"Honey, take off your shorts?" Edward ordered her.

She stood up first and took off her shorts, including her underwear. Edward unbuckled his belt and lowered his pants slightly and pulled her towards her thigh again.

At that point, Edward was about to release the heat from his body.

In just a few minutes, they are done. So Sherry compares Felix to Edward. Felix did everything to make her happy. The kind that will have her roaring hard with a chase gasp factor. She knows Edward can do that too, but like this, he's the only one who knows the agony of pleasure.

"Honey, please forgive me. You know I'm a busy person. When we get married, I will get back to you completely, I promise!" Edward said.

Sherry smiled. "Don't say sorry, honey. Yes, I understand you." But deep inside her, she was not happy anymore.

"I love you so much, because you always understand me. I need to go now, honey. I have a meeting before three o'clock."

"Okay, be careful when you drive!"

When Edward fixed himself, he immediately headed to the door and Sherry followed her fiancee.

"Bye, honey. Oh, by the way, join me for dinner tonight. " He said before he got out of the door.

"Honey, can it be another day? We always eat outside, right?" Sherry refused.

"Well, that's what you want, honey. It's okay another day. Bye."

"Bye," she said but before Edward left the door. He gave her a kiss on the lips, and after the kiss ended, he immediately left.

When Sherry closed the door, she leaned against it.

"You've always been like that, Edward. How can it be that if we're married, every time we make love there's always a rush? I don't want that," she sighed deeply. She was already decided. "I need to choose my happiness," she told herself.

"SISTER, Is mother's illness serious? What did the doctor say to you?"

"Yes, Rosemary. Mother needs to have surgery soon."

"Sister, where are we going to get the money for our mother operation?"

Rossana looked up at the ceiling. Even she doesn't know where to get that much money. "I don't know either, Rosemary, but I'll think about where to get it. I can do it," she said to her sister.

"Sister, is it from your boss? You can borrow money from him. How much is needed for your mother's surgery?"

"One hundred thousand," her sister replied.

Rosemary's eyes widened at what she heard from her sister. "What? My gosh, sister, where do you get such a large amount? "

"The important thing is to get mother operated on as soon as possible, Rosemary," she said sadly as she hugged her brother.

Rosemary's sister sat next to Rossana and hugged them too.

"Sister, why is our life like this? We are already poor, and we are suffering even more. I thought that God is very unfair to us!" She said tearfully.

"Psst, Rosemary. Don't say that. He's not unfair. He only strengthens us as far as we can go with each of his tests. Don't think that okay? Even if we are poor, always think positively. " She held her sister's head and caressed it. She looked at her two siblings. She just sighed off, silenced. The truth is she wanted to cry, but she didn't want to show her sister that she was crying. She had to be brave for them.

"Sister, how long will this test last? When we die?" Tears have flowed from Rosemary. She just cannot control herself to say such a thing because of their condition now.

"Soon, Rosemary. Just pray. Don't emote. I know what you feel. Smile please," she said to her sister with a smile.

"Sister, I'm smiling, oh," the brother said.

"Good boy, Rowel," she said.

When Rossana remembered their father." Oh, Rosemary, where he's? Why I can't see him here? " She refers to their father.

"He said earlier that he was going to look for money."

"Huh? Where is he going to look if no one can going to lending him money? "

"I don't know, he just said we stay here and wait for you."

"Oh no, our father, we already have a problem; he might add to it," she said, but she was still concerned about where her father was now.

"Probably, sister, he's going to be your headache too," the sister echoed.

They were having that conversation when the police came towards them where they were sitting.

Rossana was suddenly nervous when she saw them, not even sure yet if they were looking for

"Sister, here is another problem to come," Rosemary whispered to her.

"Are you, Rossana Luna?" The policeman asked as he approached them.

"O---yes, sir, is there a problem?" She answered shakily.

"Come with us now."

Rossana was shocked by what the police said. "Huh? Why, sir? What's my fault? " She wondered what violation she had committed.

"You are not your father, in prison now?"

The siblings looked at the police because of what he said.

"My gosh, I already said that, eh?" Rosemary sighed.

"Alright, sir, I'll come with you. Rosemary, stay here, don't go anywhere, okay, and take care of Rowel," Rossana said.

"Yes, sister, what else?" she answered.

She immediately went with the police. While she was walking Rossana took a deep breath now her problem was worse now.

Chapter 3

ROSSANA ran to the prison cell where her father was. After the police told her about his case.

"Father, what did you do?" She still asked her father.

The gentleman started crying. "M—my daughter, I'm sorry your father is so stupid. I can't think of any other way to get money for your mother's surgery, so I did it," he bowed, ashamed of his daughter.

Rossana felt sorry for her father, but what he did was still wrong. "Father, I know that you are worried about mother, but I hope not in that way. I already have one problem, then you give me another one where I can get money for your bail?" Rossana wanted to cry. Her mind was so messy right now that she didn't know what to think first.

"My daughter, just leave me here. I'm old already. Just take care of your mother first and then me!" He hold his daughter hand.

Even though that her father said that, she is a daughter who loves her parents."I can't ignore you Father. I don't have enough money to bail you out now. You stay here while I look for more money. "

"My daughter, forgive me. Now I am also a problem for you because your father doesn't know how to think straight," he sobbed.

Rossana couldn't stop her tears that began to flow down her cheeks. She calmed herself first because she might cry even more. She was silent for five minutes to control herself.

The father held her hand. "My daughter, forgive me," he said again.

Rossana held her father's hand tightly, making him understand that she was right next to him. " What else can I do? It's a good thing that woman didn't file a case against you. I still feel sorry for you, because you are old enough to stay here." Okay, I will leave you first and I will look for money, "she let go her father's hand and walked away.

"My daughter, don't worry about me here, I'm fine," he shouted after his daughter a bit far away.

Rossana looked at her father. She smiled. Her smile said, "Yeah, you must be fine and wait for me to come back." She walked straight and never looked back.

In Sherry's condominium, while lying in bed, her cell phone rang.

Sherry thought that her fiancee was the one who called her. She didn't even look at her phone for her. She's not in the mood to talk to him right now. She didn't pick up the phone to see who was calling her; he just let it ring. She didn't want to talk to him.

Because the person on the other line was not surrendering to call her, Sherry was forced to answer it.

She immediately picked up the phone when she saw that it was not her finance calling. She immediately answered it.

"Hello, Felix," she said happily.

"Hello, Sherry. Why did it take so long to answer my call? " "I said with irritation."

"Sorry, Felix. Because I was in the bathroom taking a shower, so I didn't answer right away," her alibi was a lie.

"Sherry? Are you going somewhere?"

"No, why?" she answered immediately.

"It's good then..."

"Where are you, Felix? Why is it so noisy where you are?" She asked him because she hears a lot of different background sounds. The sound of water, cars, and lots of people.

"Because I'm here on the bay walk, Sherry."

Sherry had a look of wonder on her face as to why he was there. "What are you doing at that place, Felix?"

"'I'm just venting, Sherry. You want to join me here. I'll wait for you here.

"Sure, wait for me. I'll just change my clothes." She got up quickly.

"Okay, just hurry up. I might get bored if you take too long to come here."

In a few seconds, I will be there. Bye. "

"Bye. "See you in a while, Sherry."

After Sherry turned off the cell phone, she immediately got dressed and left the house.

That fast, she went out. When Felix called her, she was so excited and energetic. She thought that her fiancee was the one who called her just now because she was so weak and didn't bother to check her phone. While she was driving, her smile was up to her ear.

"My God! Where do I get money? Even if I sell my body over and over again, it still won't fit! " Rossana said to herself as she walked by the sea.

Rossana decided to take a walk on the beach first so she could think about what she should do. When she got to the rock, she sat down and couldn't stop her tears from falling. She looked up at the sky that was getting a bit cloudy. At the same time, I kept wondering if I could handle all of your tests."I hope, Lord, you just give me one by one, so that I can handle it even though this is so hard," she said as the tears continued.

She was quiet for a while, craying when she just sobbed.

To help me, tell me or just whisper what I should do. To be honest, my mind is a mess right now." This is where she burst into tears again.

The man close to Rossana turned around because of her crying.

"Maybe this woman has a big problem; maybe she's unlucky in love or maybe she's pregnant," said the man.

"Hi, Felix. I'm here, " Sherry greeted the man with a smile. He immediately approached her. She greeted him and kissed him on the lips.

"You're fast, aren't you?" He said after the kiss ended.

"I told you I'd be there in a few seconds."

"It's like you're a wonderwoman, Sherry."

Well, I'm like that to you, Felix, faster than that, wanderwoman."

The two sat hugging each other. She was happy when she was with him. Not like Edward. Went they are together she was not happy anymore.

Chapter 4

ROSSANA just sobbed already, she wiped her wet cheeks, and took a deep breath. And Looked up into the sky. "I can do this. Lord, I want to scream. Can I? Because I feel so heavy here." She hold her chest as if sympathizing with her,  suddenly a strong wind hit her face for her this a go signal. That's why she began to shout loudly. "Ahhh!" She shouted over and over, "I can do this! Rossana fighting!" She said it loudly she didn't care about the people around her.

When she felt that she was okay, she decided to go back to the hospital because she was needed there.

"She had a big problem, right?" Sherry said she referring the woman who was shouting just now.

"Yes, I just heard her crying a while ago, maybe because of the big problem she was facing it," Felix said.

"I want to talk to her, Felix. Maybe I can help her." Suddenly a plan coming to Sherry mind.

From Felix mind maybe Sherry wanted to help her for a small amount."Sure, she's coming here."

Rossana walked quietly, and suddenly, someone greeted her.

"Hi." Sherry said with a smile to the woman walked in front of them.

Rossana looked around to see if there was anyone else, but she didn't see anyone else passing by but her.

"Was I'm the one you said hi to, Miss?" She asked.

"Yes, it's you. Come here?" Sherry's wave to the woman.

"Huh? Why? We don't know each other, do we?" She didn't come any closer to the woman.

Sherry approached Rossana."Well, I'm Sherry, and my boyfriend, Felix, and you are?" she said.

She didn't hesitate to say her name. It's just a name after all. "I'm Rossana Luna," she answered.

"So, we know each other now, right. Can we talk?"

Rossana frowned what the woman said."Why do you want to talk to me and about what?"

"Well, not for me, maybe for you. Felix and I can see that you seem to have a problem, not just a problem. I think it's even heavier. I just thought we might be able to help you. That is why I am greeting you if you don't mine telling us what is bothering you or something else." 

"Sherry is right, Rossana, tell us your problem. Maybe we can help you, even if it's just a little," Felix said too.

Rossana is having second thoughts if she tells the truth to them. Maybe they're a scam nowadays; it's not far off even if they don't look like it because they're rich, especially the women. But she doesn't think so, and her insight is that maybe they are just being kind to her or maybe they are the ones who can help her. Did she tell God what to do to solve her problem? Maybe they are the answer.

"Come sit here next to me." Sherry invited Rossana. When she went back to sit beside her boyfriend Felix.

Rossana hesitated if she would follow what she said. They say, don't talk to strangers.

"Alright, there's nothing wrong if you tell us what your problem is, right? Maybe we can help you. And don't worry, we are not bad people," Sherry assured because she can see in her eyes that she wouldn't trust them.

Even though Rossana feels that way that they are kind, she really has doubts. She looked at the two again.

The couple looked at each other because she was still standing in front of them.

"It's okay, Rossana, if you don't trust us, you can leave. Sorry for the disturbance," Sherry said.

Sherry thought the woman was leaving. But she didn't, and she walked closer and sat down next to her.

The couple were smiling at what she did.

"What's your problem, Rossana?" Sherry immediately asked.

"I don't want to twist my words. After all, you are the ones who offered your help, right? "

"Yes, okay, tell us, Rossana, we are listening," Sherry said.

Rossana took a deep breath first and then looked at the woman.

Sherry nods to Rossana as if she says, "It's okay, take your time and relax yourself."

"My mother is in the hospital right now; she needs to be operated on soon. My father is in jail. Because he wanted to help, he found a way, but in the wrong way, so he ended up in prison. I can't do everything. I'm just a humble waitress. What's more painful is that I no longer have a job," she explained.

"So, your problem is money?" Felix said.

Rossana nodded.

Sherry and Felix looked at each other again, and their eyes were talking.

"How much do you need, Rossana?" Sherry didn't hesitate to ask her.

Rossana stared at Sherry. She didn't expect her to offer her right away. 

"I'm not joking, Rossana. Tell me, maybe I can give you what you needed. "

She wants it, and grace is already in front of her, and nothing she will be lost if she says so. "One hundred fifty thousand!"

"It's a little thing, Rossana. It's not even a million. I will give you that money. But there is a trade-off. In this day, no one just gives money, right?"

She nodded. She understood what she meant. "What in return?"

"We will talk about that but not here." She took something in her bag."Here is my calling card. Call me tomorrow, then I will give you the money."

Rossana's mind suddenly doubted her. It's all that easy. "Wait a minute, maybe what you're asking me is to do a bad thing. Tell me now. Even if I really need the money, I won't do it."

Sherry smiled. "Rossana, do I look like and my boyfriend is doing bad things? Don't worry, we are not bad people if that's what you think of us. We are just human beings that are falling in love with each other. "

"Sherry, those day doing bad things isn't presented by looks. A handsome man can be a killer who's also a rapist."

The two agreed with what she said. " Well you're right Rossana, but I'm not or my boyfriend does something bad. Sherry smiled. "Go back to the hospital; tomorrow the money you needed is in your palm," she said.

"Alright, thank you," Rossana just said.

"Don't say thank you, Rossana, because we don't have a deal yet," Sherry replied.

Rossana nodded and left.

When the couple could no longer see Rossana "Sherry, what do you plan to do with her?" Felix immediately asked.

"Do you love me, Felix?"

"What kind of question is that, Sherry? Yes, I love you. But you're going to marry someone, and who am I to compare to the man you're going to marry?"

"I've made up my mind, Felix."

"Deciding what, Sherry?" Felix said, with surprise.

"That I'm not going to marry, Edward."

"What? How do you do it? Isn't that everything has been planned and you're just waiting for the day when you and Edward, will marry?

"Yes, but I love you more. And I'm happier when you're with me. Like now. I'm so happy, Felix. " She said passionately.

Felix embraced Sherry."So, you're not going to continue your wedding with Edward." Is that so, Sherry?"

"It'll be continued, Felix. But I'm not the bride, but Rossana. "

"So, is that your plan for her?"

"Yes, Felix!"

"Will she accept what you want to happen, Sherry? I think it's abit difficult. Pretending to be you. And Edward will surely know it."

"I hope so, Felix. But I feel that she will be accepted because she needs money. Life is the reward for what she will do.''

Felix nodded."You're really smart, Sherry. You thought of it right away. "

Sherry hugged her man tightly. "I love you, Felix," she will go to any length to be with her boyfriend.

"I love you too, Sherry!" he smiled widely.
