Lisa lifted her head and looked at the handsome and charming face of this man of European blood. She didn't say anything, however, her eyes clearly said 'thank you'.

Oscar stared into her dark eyes as he said, "I trust you, only you ..."

Everyone has a past, but let the past be in the past. The past is not a problem that should be exaggerated!

Oscar loves Lisa so much with all his heart, to hell with their dark and terrible past!

"Yes, Lisa, I just believe in you, in everything you say, and all the things you give me. No matter what people say, no matter how much they try to bring you down, I only believe in you."

After hearing Oscar's sentence just now, it would be a lie if Lisa didn't feel her heart touched and moved. She really wanted to say something but her lips were locked as if there were invisible threads sewing it together.

How could Lisa calm down after she heard the sentence just now? She tried to calm the flow of emotions that flooded her heart. Without realizing it, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes as she felt touched.

"Rest now, let me take care of this useless trash," Oscar said softly as he dragged Aditya out of the room. The man looked helpless in Oscar's grasp, he just remained silent while looking down weakly.

Oscar dragged the pitiful man down the hospital hallways, ignoring his surroundings. All the eyes of the visitors, patients, nurses, and doctors passing by were on him.

"Sir! Sorry, where are you taking your friends? He's so badly injured!" A nurse exclaimed in a low voice.

Oscar ignored her and continued on until he walked out of the building. At the door, Dani seemed to be on standby. Oscar then handed Aditya to Dani as if he was trash.

"Sir, what are you doing?" Dani asked as he gripped Aditya's limp arm.

"I don't want to see his face anymore!" Oscar replied, his tone sounded steady and sharp without a doubt.

Dani nodded and said, "Fine, I'll do it."

Oscar would not randomly kill anyone he didn't like. He did not plan and would not kill Aditya even though the man had the heart to kill his unborn child and hurt Lisa. However, he still has the power to put anyone into their place.

The best way to pay back for the heinous deeds of a person like Aditya is to throw him in prison and let him rot in his prison cell. That way, Aditya would get what he really deserved rather than a quick death.

***

A few days later, Lisa was still hospitalized for an indefinite period of time. The new doctor allowed her to leave once her condition improved. Lisa told Rangga to keep his mouth shut about this accident from her mother because if this reached her ears, her mother would be shocked and her disease might recur.

During her stay at the hospital, Mrs. Sumiyati accompanied Lisa throughout the day and only left once it's Rangga's turn to look after her.

Staying in the hospital was very boring, Lisa felt like her brain was getting dull. She also felt her heart empty. Sitting pensive, staring at the window— literally sleeping, eating and daydreaming. Besides, hospital food sure tastes awful.

Oscar came to see her a few times. However, apart from the day the man beat Aditya in front of her, Lisa never spoke with him again.

Andien heard the news of Lisa's accident a week after Lisa was hospitalized. When her best friend came to visit her, Lisa already looked calmer and fresher than before. At least, the woman didn't look as pale and pitiful as the first time she was taken to the ER.

"How come you didn't tell me that you are hospitalized? If it weren't for Rangga who called me first, I wouldn't have found out!" Andien's voice sounded very worried and anxious when she looked at her friend on the bed.

"Sorry, I didn't have the time," Lisa replied and then smiled brightly, feeling glad that she was able to look at her friend's face after a long time.

"Lisa, I already know everything, including your child. As your best friend, I have to remind you that we can't go back to the past. So you just keep going and don't be too fixated on the past," Andien advised in a serious voice.

She made sure to watch her words so that she wouldn't make her friend feel worse. Lisa is still 25 years old, almost 26 actually, but she has to shoulder such a heavy burden all by herself. As if fate had never given her the opportunity to live a calm and happy life.

Sometimes Andien reflects on it. Could she be as strong as her friend if she stood in her shoes?

However, Lisa has accepted her destiny gracefully. Although it was difficult for Lisa to accept the fact that she had to lose her unborn child, she still made sure to make peace with her past. She had to, she didn't want to wallow in misery for too long.

"Andien, I know all your good intentions, but honestly I still feel guilty for my unborn child. My child shouldn't suffer like this Ndien, it's all my fault. I'm the one who made them die like this…" Lisa said while dropping sad tears.

Andien held her palm while staring at her teary eyes. She also felt guilty because she could not help Lisa with anything but calm her soul. "Lisa, be patient. I know your child is gone, but your life is still long. You're still young. You still have the responsibility to care for your sick mother. You have to get up, Lis… "

Though Lisa might've heard of those words many times before, the words had its own magical power if they came out of her best friend.

"I heard that the bastard who killed your child was sentenced to life in prison, right? I also heard that his life is just so rotten! He's been tricking a lot of girls up to this point. Yes, I think he deserves a punishment like that!" Andien said excitedly.

Hearing the news that Aditya is now in prison for life makes Lisa both stunned and relieved. It must be thanks to Oscar, she thought.

"Good, he really deserves this! He's a jerk and evil. He just wanted to be a parasite to others!!" Lisa exclaimed, gritting her teeth while looking annoyed but satisfied.

The atmosphere surrounding the two friends was suddenly silent and silent. Suddenly, Andien thought she wanted to ask Lisa something, but she was not sure if her question would offend her. Andien tried to restrain herself from asking that question but in the end she decided to ask, "Anyway, I want to ask the truth but promise me you're not going to be offended, okay?'

Lisa nodded in return.

"Do you think Oscar still loves you? Don't you want to give him another chance to improve the relationship with you?" Andien continued, feeling curious to death.

"Not!" Lisa replied firmly and briefly.

Andien was surprised to hear Lisa's reaction and answer just now. The woman then blinked. "Huh, are you serious? Why? Even though everyone can see that Oscar still loves you... Look, he's already nice to you, help you to deck your ex-bastard. Why don't you feel touched by what he did for you?"

Lisa snorted. "Then what if I'm touched? Oscar doesn't belong to me anymore. He and I are no longer lovers, we are so different! If we are together, we only hurt each other. He has Clara after all. And don't forget, he left me first. I'm sure he's only helping me take care of Aditya because it was his child who died."

"Oh come on, you can't say it like that! Both Rangga and Oscar really love you, so you have to choose one of them for your own good! Choose the best! But remember, make no mistake!"
