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.
