In this world, if you want to believe in someone, Kaili is the right person.

-Achiera Grey (Quotes)-

🌹

"Achiera Grey, where have you been? I've been crazy looking for you here and there you know!" Kaili screamed when she just arrived at the meeting place. And this managed to garner the attention from all the customers in the cafe toward the two young,blooming girls.

Kaili is indeed a spoiled, nagging, noisy, annoying girl for people who don't know her. But whatever it was she was the only person who can be trusted and had sincerely befriended Achiera with all her heart.

"Miss Goh, please sit first and I'll tell you everything. Look, everybody is staring at us." Achiera said.

"Yes you do have to tell me everything Achiera, you have the nerve to make me worry!" Kaili Goh replied loudly. "So what happened these few weeks? Why did you suddenly disappear like the earth had swallowed you? Are you okay?" Kaili continued, feeling anxious and curiosity was clearly visible on her face.

Gleg!!!

"Steven had an accident, Grandma fell ill and the people kicked them out of the house." Achiera said, starting to tell her story.

 "What? Really? Why is everything so sudden and insistent?" Kaili asked, she couldn't hide her worries.

 "Wait a moment, your house? Isn't that the only house that your parents have left to your family? Yes, even though at that time aunt and uncle lost the tender in seizing the area of ​​land to be turned into an oil factory, but uncle managed to maintain the house and land. So why can your house be evicted?"

"I don't know. But their data states that that's their land." Achiera replied sadly.

"Grandma once said that the land was the first place where papa and mama met. The house is a witness for how much papa loves mama. Papa himself tried to build the house, from the construction process as well as the architect. Because papa doesn't have enough money to hire people. For that house papa continued to work hard, because of his determination and persistence, he also managed to provide a decent life for mama and us at that time. Until in the end everything was gone, he left this world as well as leaving a lot of debt behind. The only thing papa kept, was that house before he left. That is the reason why no matter how much debt we owe, Grandma kept the house. Every inch of the house was a fingerprint and Papa's hardwork was imbedded in it. However, now everything is gone. Even memories went with them, reluctant to stay."

Unconsciously, the two girls' eyes were pooled with crystal tears, especially Achiera felt suffocated in her chest reminiscing about her story.

"Achiera, everything has been passed. Forget it and remember your goal to find out, who is the young entrepreneur who destroyed uncle's company as well as your life!"

"I'm trying to get him, Kaili. But the young entrepreneur is very low profile, there isn't even any trace of him."

"There must be, humans always leave traces in their every action, even though we got our hands on the slightest clue, it means a lot," Kaili said, supporting Achiera.

"Oh anyway, how is Steven's condition right now?" She continued.

"Steven is still in a coma, there is a blood clot in his head and the accident resulted in damage to his internal organs. The doctor has also given the best medication for him, but because of that drug his kidneys are damaged and he has to undergo another surgery, one more time."

"What? Is that how serious the situation is?" Kaili screamed. Kaili's anxiety could no longer be hidden, her face clearly showed what was in her heart.

"Achiera, surely it costs a lot, right?  I want to help you.  But hearing about Steven's condition, I'm afraid my help won't be enough."

"Don't worry Kaili Goh, everything has been resolved."

"Resolved? What do you mean, Achiera?"

Heeemmmmpppppphhhhhhh.....!

Achiera took a deep breath, then let it out slowly.

"I did the wrong thing," Achiera said dryly. "To be more precise, I had taken a shortcut to get out of this problem. I know this is wrong, but at that time all roads were deadlocked."

"What did you do? A robbery?" Kaili asked, worried.

"Kaili ...," Achiera called her softly while heaving out a slow breath and continued her words. "I SOLD MYSELF TO GET THAT MONEY!"

"What??!" Kaili screamed suddenly. She was so shocked that the glass in front of her on the table was knocked over by her hand and water spilled over the table.

"I really understood it was the wrong way, at that time I was confused so I couldn't think properly. Think about it, I have a quick way out to deal with this problem. On one hand Steven's surgery must be carried out immediately, on the other hand, Grandma's therapy must be carried out. Only because of that I thought of picking that choice."

"I know, being you is not easy. Maybe if I was in your position I would also take a shortcut, at first glance. You're not wrong Achiera, it's fate that should be blamed. All of this, whether it was fortunate or not, but it's indeed God's will. We can not decide. The most important thing is you have tried. "

Kaili tried to calm down her friend because she saw sadness in Achiera's brown eyes.

"Who did you agreed upon being together with? A married man?" Kaili asked carefully.

"No, I know my limits. I'm not going to be a mistress of someone who's married, because I don't want his family to break apart because of me."

"Huffft ... Thank God, Achiera. I'm afraid that the man's wife will bump into you later," She said, holding Achiera's hand.

"He's a cold, arrogant, and a rich man." Achiera said, described Hans. "He is Hans Matthew!"

"Hans Matthew from Matthews Group?" Kaili asked quickly.

"Yes, you're right, Kaili."

"Achiera Gray, you're over. He's a devil who hides behind his handsome face. His heart is unpredictable, you are looking for danger being with him, your life will not be calm. How do you even got to know him?"

"Accidentally I spilled wine on his documents. And he wants me to pay it with myself."

"Achiera, it's obvious he wants to get back at you. You have to be careful, that cold-hearted man doesn't know when to freeze and when to melt. I hope you don't argue with him or he will make things difficult for you."

"But he treats me very well, he cares and respects me. I don't think he's as cruel as people say."

"Wait a moment, when did you spilled the wine? Was it after Steven's incident or before?"

"The day before everything happened." Achiera replied.

"It is obvious that he's playing with you, Achiera. He had caused all of these incidents. You must be careful!"

"Kaili, I understand what you're worried about, but it's impossible for him to be the instigator. Ferisha said that what caused the house to be evicted was clearly the company against my father. It has nothing to do with Hans."

"Why not? Who knows the opponent of the tender for uncle Stevanus Grey was him. Besides, we never know that person's face."

"My father died 9 years ago, if he was the person he would not be as young as Hans of today. Besides, he always treats me well, and full of love. It is impossible!"

"Don't tell me you've fallen in love with him because of his treatment. Achiera, you have to take care of your heart. You shouldn't fall for that demon, he must have bad intentions. He's never been in love before, he's just manipulating your heart to make you want him," Kaili explained to Achiera.

"Achiera, I'm worried about you. I don't want you to get hurt, if indeed Hans loves you, time will answer all about his good intentions. Sometimes our meeting with someone is not intentional, but there is a purpose. Whether it's a blessing or a lesson. And before that is proven, do not give your heart to him. I beg you."

"Yeah, I will keep my heart. Don't worry, I don't have any feelings for him. I just respect his kind attitude to me," Achiera said to convince her friend.

Actually Achiera could understand the meaning of Kaili's words, it was just that she also doubt whether her resistance will last if Hans continues to be nice to her.

"My heart beating so fast when I was nearby him, I am sorry Kaili. But I already lost." She murmured.
