âAre you the woman you met in India?â
Troy asks her coldly without any expressions on his face, not even a trace of exasperation.
âYes...â
Sheâs so honest that he says nothing before sliding in his car to drive away.
Karin breaks down and falls to the ground, trying to cry out while she fails. She hurts the man she loves the most; she hurts the man she wants to marry.
He canât take it as he shows no emotions.
Itâs late at night, and the leaves are rustling in the gentle breeze as if they are laughing at her.
She stutters and stands up, trying to go home. Troy is too sad that he leaves her here alone.
She gets a cab to drive her home, only to find his car isnât parked in their garage. She sadly guesses that he wonât come home tonight.
She goes upstairs in despair and sits on the perch of her bed until the dawn, not turning on the lights.
Yuma comes to knock on the door for a while, and she opens it for her. âMiss Karin, time for breakfast.â
Looking around to find Troyâs not in the room, Yuma asks, âWerenât him home last night?â
She shakes her head and says, âI donât want to have breakfast today.â Then she closes the door.
Robert calls her up at the noon, and she picks it up. âHello?â
âKarin, Troy doesnât go to work today.â
She closes her eyes and says in a shivering tone, âI told him all...â
âWhat?â
Robert gets anxious. âI told you not. How can you tell him the truth?â
âI canât lie to him anymore.â
âBut now Troy must get mad. Heâs never absent from work for no reasons. Now he powers off his phone and I canât contact him.â
âSorry, but I donât regret...â
Karin weeps and hangs up, tears trickling down her cheeks. She canât stop crying as she knows that Troy gets lost for no reason.
Sheâs really exhausted and she just wants to have a sleep in the house where theyâve stayed for years together. She wonât wake up until he comes home.
When she wakes up, itâs the next dawn. She subconsciously reaches out for him on her right, only to find he hasnât come home yet. Maybe heâll leave here forever.
Knowing he wonât come here anymore, she still wants to wait for him in the house. When she knew heâd marry Mia, she wanted to leave him, but he insisted that she should stay with him. Now sheâs the one that wants him to stay with her.
Walking to the outside, she sits on the swing chair and thinks of her grandmaâs words. Her love is her own business, and itâs up to her.
After deliberation, she realizes that if she doesnât want to give up on it, she should fight for it.
Then she quickly runs into the house and rushes out with her bag.
She wants to find Troy at all costs as she wants him to forgive her like Troy did for her.
She calls Robert to ask him, âDo you find him?â
âNot yet?â
âIf you find him, please contact me.â
âOkay.â
Sheâs been searching for him the whole day until the night falls. Sheâs been everywhere he loves to go, but she canât find any traces of him.
She looks confused as if sheâs lost something precious. Sure, sheâs lost her precious lover.
Her phone rings off again, which makes her anticipated, but when she looks at the number, sheâs disappointed. â...Hello?â
âWhatâs wrong with you? Why did you tell him?â
Billie calls to reprimand her as she really cares about her.
âHow can you know it?â
âRobert told me and wanted me to soothe you.â
âIâm all right. Iâm busy now.â
âBusy finding him? Robertâs his loyal friend and he canât find Troy, not to mention you.â
Billieâs words render Karin speechless. âIâve told you not to tell him. Now heâs missing, but the wedding is around the corner. Itâs canât be delayed again...â
She sadly hangs up as she refuses to hear words like those, though Billie truly cares for her.
Another three days passing by, nobody can find Troy. All they know is that Robert still stays in Zurich.
At the edge of despair, good new is brought to her by Robert that Troy is in a villa on some small island.
Then she instantly goes to find him by sea with Robert. Itâs quite around, and she canât believe Troy can hide himself here.
Sitting in a corner of the yacht, Karin looks at the shores, not knowing what to say when she meets Troy. She just wants to see him first.
âHow did you find him here?â
Getting off the yacht, she asks Robert gently when she notices all the beautiful villas around.
âBy accident. Four years ago, Troy wanted to develop here into a holiday village but the project failed for some reason. But he bought a villa here as he used to live here for a few days.â
Then they stop at the door of a villa, and Robert sighs, âIâll leave you two together alone.â
âAre you going back?â
âYes.â
She nods. âOkay. Byeâ
Before leaving, he turns back and says, âIf he doesnât forgive you, remember to call me, and Iâll pick you up.â
âI wonât go back home until he forgives me.â
Never will she give up unless sheâs dead.
Robert sighs and shakes his head, then he leaves...
It takes her long to ring the doorbell.
Finally, Troy opens the door. Karin gets hurt when she finds him so haggard as if heâs not the Troy she used to know. He used to care about his beautiful appearance, but now he has void eyes and he smells like heâs got tons of wine.
âTroie...â
Tears running out, Karin is desperate to hold him in her arms, but he pushes her away and shut the door.
âTroie, open the door. Troie, open it up for me. Troie, I can explain...â
Karin knocks on the door hard as she never thinks that heâd refuse to see her.
Hands numb, voice husky, but sheâs still ignored by Troy. She sadly crouches down in front of the door. Sheâll wait out of his villa until he lets her in.
Troy gets hurt by her and he leaves her alone out of his villa for the whole night.
Stubborn and anticipated, Karin has waited for a night and a day.
On the next evening, Troy finally opens the door with remorseless words. âGo home. I donât want to see you at the moment.â
She tries so hard to break into his villa, only to find the wine bottles scattered on the floor.
âAre you trying to indulge yourself with wine?â
She turns around to face him, questioning.
âGet out! I donât want to talk to you.â
He looks so haggard that there are stabs around his mouth.
Sinking into the sofa with exhaustion, he opens another bottle of wine. With one leg placed on the table, he pours the wine into his mouth as if he has drinking water. Karin cares for him so much that she grabs his bottle away. âStop torturing yourself!
