Chapter 1

"HOW do you feel now, Sherry, that you and Edward are getting married soon?"

She sighed before answering her friend's question,"I'm not sure, Mica," her voice was sad or she didn't feel like she was going to get married soon.

Mica looked at her carefully, "Why you do not know? I think you are the bride-to-be who is not happy with this upcoming wedding. " Yeah, she can sense her friend's feelings and she knows her very well. They have been friends for a long time.

"My feelings are divided, Mica. And I'm confused now! " She bowed.

Mica raised her friend's face. "Look at me." She looked at her. "Are you confused? What do you mean by that, Sherry?"

"Mica, because...I feel like I'm not happy about marrying Edward."

"What are you talking about? And you know, Edward well right? And Everything was in Edward's, Sherry, so what else are you looking for in him? He loved you very much. Don't be... stupid. When you leave him, you are more than stupid, you are crazy too!" Mica had an annoyed expression. And she feel that Sherry will cut off their wedding.

"Yes, but...I feel more happy with Felix." Sherry's eyes can see the brightness when she calls the man's name.

"What? My goodness, Sherry! You two still have a relationship; it's like you're fooling Edward with that, ah. And he has nothing compared to your fiancé! " She was even more annoyed.

"Because they are different, Mica." She smiled slightly.

"Different? Where, Sherry? they're both men?"

Sherry looked at her best friend before answering.

"Don't look at me like that, Sherry. I need your answer."

"When it comes to bed, Mica. Felix is more passionate and aggressive. He gives me what I want, "she responded to her.

"What was just in bed?" She also stared at her friend.

"I am happier when we are having love making with Felix and Mica. He gives me satisfaction when he is with me in bed."

Mica shook her head. "How about, Edward?"

"Well, he's good too, but...you know what I meant, Mica?"

"I don't know about you, Sherry. You're already in a soft bed, and then you want to move to the mat, your mind was crazy or you are the one who's crazy."

"That's why I said I don't know, I'm really confused. I know if Edward is the one I'm with, my life will be good with him; he's kind and he was wealthy. But money isn't a problem; I have my own savings."

"You know, why do you have to destroy it, Sherry? You do have money. But the question is. Does Felix have it too, huh?"

Sherry avoided looking at her friend. "I can't think straight, Mica," she interrupted, changing the course of their conversation.

Mica shook her head. Even though she didn't know Felix well, she knew he was handsome, but Edward was more handsome than he. But of course, like her friend says, he's good in bed. Yes, sex makes you crazy."This is all I can tell you, Sherry, as your friend, choose what you feel and what your heart wants. I hope you choose the right one, Sherry, so you won't regret it in the end. I believe in that saying, regret always comes last. Remember this even if he's a good person, if you make him angry, he will become a demon. Mica, referring to Edward.

"Thank you for the good advice, Mica. If Felix is my choice, I know he hates me. But I wish he would meet a woman he would love more. And for him to forgive me. "

"Do you think so, Sherry, that everything is that easy? You will hurt Edward. But whatever you decide, I'm here, Sherry, as your friend. "She just said it because she has no right to protest if her decision was to go to the other man, not Edward, because she's just her friend.

"My friend you are really good to me," she said with a smile.

They were in that conversation when Sherry's mobile rang. She immediately took it.

"Who?"

"Edward, Mica, wait. I'll answer his call."

"Okay."

"Hello, honey!"

"Hello, honey. How's your day? "

"It's fine, honey." She looked at her friend.

"Where are you now, honey?"

"At my home, honey."

"That's good. I'll go over your place now, honey."

"Honey, don't you have work today?"

"There is, but it's not that important, so I'll drop by your place now I'm on the way." I'll be at your place any moment, honey, but if you're busy, it's okay. I won't be there anymore. "

Sherry looked at her friend again.

"I'm leaving, Sherry." she said in a low voice and stood up. So two can talk.

Sherry nodded her head. Mica leaves immediately because she knew that Edward was coming from the way her friend looked at her.

"Honey, are you still there?" Edward asked his fiance because suddenly she quiet.

"Oh yes, honey, I'm here."

"So, can I come or not, honey?" He asked her again to make sure she agreed. Well, if she said no because she had something to do or she needed to rest, then he wouldn't come.

"Of course honey, you can. I'm not busy anyway. "

"Okay, actually I'm already in the parking area of your condominium, honey."

"Oh, okay honey, I'll just wait for you here."

"Bye, honey, see you in a minute," Edward answered and turned off the mobile phone.

Sherry sighed deeply. The truth is she doesn't want to see her fiance if she is the one to follow. And she wanted Felix to be with her.

"ROSSANA, you have a call on the phone," shouted the manager of the restaurant where she worked.

"Sir, who is it?" she ask.

"Your sister, she said it's an emergency," he replied.

Rossana ran into his office and took the phone to her manager. Before she answered, "Thank you, sir," she said.

The manager nodded but starred at her. Like he said, talk to her faster.

"Hello, Rosemary, what happened?" She immediately asked her sister.

"Sister, our mother, she lost consciousness earlier. Our neighbors helped us to take her to the hospital." She cries.

"It's okay, Rosemary, stay at the hospital and look after our mother first because I can't leave yet because there are still many customers right now."

"But sister, I don't know what I'm going to do now. We're so scared. I was just called here at the nurse station. Come and see us here now, can you please?" Her voice was shaking like she's going to cry any moment.

She needs to decide right now. She looked at her boss. He looked at her too, his eyes telling her to quickly talk to her sister.

Rossana took a deep breath. She must go to see her family because they need her.
