One week later.
Katty could only stare at the letter sent by her husband with a flat look. Her mind was not focused and could only remain silent, she sat in front of the garden whose flowers had just been watered. Trying to look okay but can't, maybe even Katty feels the whole world is crowded and she can only be alone. Currently her husband has been brought to a country to treat the disease he is suffering from.
Katy felt guilty, why? because all this time she was under the influence of drugs that damaged her nervous system, making her the one who already hated her husband. to hate it so much, and really hate it so much. Until she wanted to kill her husband. But luckily the drug was suppressed with other drugs, which can make Katty fine now.
In the past few days, Katty has also seen how her daughter Choon-Hee is, always visiting the room just to ask how Katty is.
Once again she looked at the golden yellow flower in front of her, a marigold flower or a flower that is very well known by the name of the gemitir flower. Has a bright yellow color and is widely used as an ornamental plant, especially usually at weddings.
The beauty of the flowers that are very charming turns out to have also been equipped with various kinds of health benefits. This flower can be consumed or processed in various ways to obtain its benefits, it all depends on the needs.
One of Katty's flower stalks was plucked and inhaled. The aroma was strange and made the sense of smell a little disturbed. Restlessness and anxiety of course made her feel confused about what to do for now.
A knock on the door made Katty wake up, she hastily cleaned her clothes which were already full of flower petals. Because she had been unknowingly picking flowers and plucking the petals one by one.
"Yes .." Katty said, after a while the knocking on the door got louder.
Shortly after the door opened, Katty walked out of the balcony of the room towards the main door. Seeing who it was, it turned out that Choon-hee had come with something. from what Katty's sense of smell was alive right now, she knew that it was Food.
"Mom? Have you eaten? Here I brought a healthy snack for Mommy. Mommy's only been in her room and hasn't been out since Daddy went to treatment. You must be feeling sad, right? I came to accompany you for a while." Choon-hee sounded so excited, she didn't really say anything about her father's current condition. nor want to discuss what she saw that night, because her father is currently recovering and Choon-Hee was sure that her mother was in a bad mood.
"Let's eat together, To the balcony of the room. Mommy happens to be looking at the flowers that have just been watered." Taking Katty to her child, Choon-hee nodded slowly. She still had the tray in her hand and they walked towards the balcony of the room.
Choon-hee's gaze was slightly confused, seeing that there were a lot of flower sprinkles all around. Unusually, Mommy wants to destroy the plants that she takes care of herself. Choon-hee thought confused.
Choon-hee put the tray of food on the table, then she pulled up one of the chairs and sat quietly there. Beside her, Katty sat down and started helping Choon-hee to open the lid of the food and look inside.
It turns out that Choon-hee brought Fruit cake, a cake that has a slightly moist texture and has a strong rum aroma. This cake includes a cake that is quite luxurious because there are so many ingredients used ranging from fruits, pine nuts, raisins, honey to spices. It's a cake that is intended for nobles only.
"I brought Mommy's favorite green tea too, it must be nice to drink hot tea and eat sweet cakes. Especially seeing the various plants that are fresh and beautiful. Ahhh.. Mommy's balcony does look like another world to me." Choon-hee praised her, and Katty just laughed. Her daughter can really make the mood better.
Choon-hee poured the tea into her mother's glass, then into her own. They started sipping it slowly. Choon-hee did occasionally glance at her mother's face, wanting to find out if her mother was sad or not. see how the beautiful flowers here ended tragically by scattering on the floor. It was certainly not a scene that Choon-hee was used to seeing.
"It feels so good. You want to talk about something? Come here. Since some of the servants said you often call your father on the phone, Is he still very sick?" there was a smack and a tinge of worry behind Katty's question. but Choon-hee chose to be casual without overreacting.
"Daddy just isn't feeling well, I think.. he thinks too much and makes him feel a little depressed, several times dad cries. When I asked why, he didn't answer and kept everything to himself. Maybe Daddy just misses old memories." Choon-hee replied lying, she knew that her mother would want to explore a lot of things. But she wanted to limit the information her mother wanted to know.
Either way Choon-hee was neutral here, not taking sides and defending anyone. they were her parents, and she wanted to be a good girl by paying more attention to them both, in Choon-hee's own way. That's better isn't it?
"Does he intend to come back here when he recovers?" Katty asked as she picked up the sweet cake that was on the table.
"I don't think Daddy's going to leave me here alone. He'll definitely be back when he's completely healed. Oh yeah mom, I'm here because I want to ask something serious. Do you have any suggestions for my baby's name?" Choon-hee asked something else, because right now she didn't want to talk too much about her father.

Zurich's slowly dying heart
If I open that tightly closed door, will I ever see you again? I hope the world will still be the same when I return. Like a rose that has bloomed beautifully in summer.
If indeed you go to another world, then leave me alone without saying goodbye. I hope on that long journey you can remember me, Then you will return with footsteps so fast.
And believe me, believe me when you turn around, you will find me. I remained standing at the end of the dim hallway without wanting to leave the place we promised. Our meeting may have been different, but my love for you is of course still the same.
The writing that Zurich had written was sealed in a white sheet of paper that would never be conveyed. The love of a man who will never be able to meet again by his love. the woman he's been in love with regardless of anything, all that love must run aground tonight. Circumstances make things feel bad.
When he looked at the night sky outside, he saw how the stars had cursed him. Avenge all the sins he had committed that night. As his eyes once again saw the Moonlight, it was then that he felt that his world had completely sunk into darkness. Even though he knew that ray of light was hope, what kind of hope did he want? when his love will die with time that goes on.
he looked at his palms which were shaking with fear, his love was not hindered by religion, not hindered by blessing, not hindered by culture. But his love is currently blocked by time. The difference in the nature they live in, where everything will never unite until hundreds of full moons though.
So how does he get back his lost love? No one knows, Zurich can only hope that God is still willing to be kind enough to return Bella from all the Betrayal. Even if that hope seems hopeless. But what's wrong with praying again? Pray for the pain and the tears that keep flowing.
A knock on the door made Zurich look towards the door, the door opened and it was Lee who had entered. Lee brought some things into the room. Hares remained seated Calm at his desk, he had no intention of getting up or asking what Lee was carrying.
"Until now nothing is known about the other enemies of the Berenice family, do you think our other enemies are from the business circles?" Lee immediately explained what had brought him here, He immediately walked over to the Zurich Desk and showed what plans Mrs. Berenice had made.
"What do you think about this? You know best about the enemies of the Berenice family, do you have a strategy for this matter? What about some black market Entrepreneurs in the far east?" Lee was still asking, he only came to his senses and stopped the Question when his eyes turned to Zurich, who doesn't look well at the moment or is he really sick?
Lee chose to pay attention to Zurich's face which only stared at the table in front of him. His eyes felt so empty and seemed lifeless at all.
"Zurich? Are you sick?" Lee asked with a bit of seriousness, he then walked towards Zurich and held the man's forehead. But his forehead felt cold and made Lee even more weird.
"Agent Lee, what are your intentions by doing all this?" Zurich asked quietly.
"Intention? you mean?" Lee increasingly did not understand what Zurich said.
"Besides getting a job and money, are you doing this for love?" Zurich looked into Lee's eyes with very sad eyes. Lee, who saw that, felt sorry for what happened to Zurich's current attitude? Before that he seemed fine. Why is it now like a sulking baby bear?
"You know I have no other reason, why are you asking like that? Do you want to know something else? Or do you not agree with the current plan?" Lee asked with a confused look.
"I'm here because I love Bella so much, I hope she can be mine. No matter how much trouble will happen later, but I only want her to be my woman and my wife. For years I waited for her and always prayed that God could unite us. But when she and I are together now, I feel something strange in my heart.
I feel that the circumstances that happened made me realize one thing.. That I'm the only one who fell in love here, I was expecting too much here. While her? She can't reach me now. because we really have different paths. She betrayed my love, my family, and do I have to die for him?" Zurich asked, the man's tears already falling down his cheeks.
Lee who saw this just sighed roughly, he didn't know what to say at a time like this. see how Zurich seems to be so fragile because of love. Of course Lee could only be silent and close the roll of paper in front of him. He felt guilty discussing the unification of the kingdoms, in front of someone who seemed to be heartbroken.
Lee wondered how Zurich's heart would let go of a woman who had betrayed her trust.
"You know Zurich? Sometimes you have to get rid of feelings that can make you break and weaken. You must know that love is the most forbidden feeling, I do admit that I have also fallen in love. But as time goes on I realize to myself, That love slowly - will kill me no matter how strong you are on the battlefield, you will still be killed if you love someone who doesn't deserve to be loved.
And Bella is currently a woman who can't be loved because she has become a different woman, you don't even know who Bella really is. So I hope you can let go of that love." Lee patted Zurich lightly on the shoulder and hoped he could properly open his eyes.
"Do you think love can kill?" Zurich asked again.
"Yes, love is a very sharp sword. The most deadly poison. Love can also be more evil than the angel of death, so never fall in love." Lee said firmly. Although to be honest, Lee is currently in love. But that love doesn't really want to be felt by Lee. he just had to get serious about his job and find Ree. I don't know where the woman is now, when Choon-hee is found. But Ree was nowhere to be seen.
Hearing this, Zurich immediately closed his eyes and took a deep breath, because at this moment the love he felt was so far away and slowly killing his heart.
