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.
