Soraya didn't know which one to choose. Kevin's insistence and the feeling of fatigue covering his body forced Soraya to make a quick decision.

Soraya tried not to think about her decision, and again heard Laura's cheerful chatter which made the trip enjoyable.

Upon arrival at the Town Hall, they went straight to the tap machine, then walked towards the waiting area.

Laura was still talking while waiting for the carriage to arrive, which soon stopped in front of them.

“Eh, why was Kevin so gloomy earlier?" Laura asked as they sat in the empty chairs. The train is not too busy at this time, even the hallway they were in only had a few people.

"That's normal," Soraya answered briefly. Soraya had no intention of talking about Kevin. However, it seems that he is not the only one who knows what Kevin is like and what things can make the man gloomy.

“It must be because of Cindy, right?” Laura guessed right. Soraya could only smile wryly remembering the reason that she was the reason Kevin had another falling out with Cindy.

“"And don't tell me Cindy is jealous of you anymore," Laura guessed again.

"How do you know?" Soraya asked curiously.

“"I was the one who set the two of them up," Laura answered casually, "he always told me about your closeness. Stupidly, Cindy doesn't know Kevin well. Cindy should be grateful to have Kevin's heart and attention. "In fact, I know that Kevin really loves that spoiled woman."

“Her name is also jealous, La. "We can't blame that feeling," said Soraya, trying to be neutral.

“What's worse, he can't see what you really look like," continued Laura irritably, ignoring Soraya's words.

“You and Kevin are like brothers. "He should try to get to know you, instead of being jealous like that," said Laura, surprised. Laura's grumbling actually made Soraya smile weakly. She has never had a serious relationship with any man, but he knows that jealousy is an excessive form of love.

Until now, Soraya is not interested in having a romantic relationship with anyone. One or two men had tried to approach her, but Soraya chose to stay away and sink into her reading book. It's not because Soraya doesn't want love like a fairy tale, or maybe the attention and affection of a man like the ones she reads about in romantic novels.. However, he chose to take care of himself until he was successful before deciding to have a more serious relationship.

She wants to be like her mother, to be a strong woman who can live independently. Her thoughts were focused on her mother and her disappointment with Brad. All this time, he thought that Brad had more feelings for Mom. In fact, he even asked his mother to open her heart and try to build a special relationship with this man.

However, Mom always refused and said that without a husband or male companion, Mom would still be able to meet their needs. It was lucky that mom rejected his suggestion at that time, because it turned out that Brad was a crotch-loving bastard.

Soraya and Mama do have different characteristics. Mama is a tough woman who never complains about facing every obstacle in life. Mama is also not a melancholic and romantic type of woman, in fact she doesn't really like romance films and prefers to watch historical stories and thrillers.

Meanwhile, Soraya, who is used to being filled with mother's attention and affection, relies more on her heart and feelings. She is also the type of woman who loves romance and melancholy. It could even be said that he is a timid person. That's why he prefers to read romance novels rather than thriller novels or the like.

But now, Soraya doesn't have anyone anymore. He lives alone, and Kevin is the only one he really knows like a brother. So, he was determined to be braver even though it was difficult

Laura returned to tell about a funny incident that the woman experienced while serving customers, making the long journey seem short. Finally, they arrived at Hornsby station. Together with several passengers, the two of them waited for a moment until the door opened, then got out of the train.

When they were outside the station, Laura and Soraya separated. Laura stepped to the right side of the sidewalk, while Soraya to the left. Before walking, Soraya put on a headset and listened to soothing music to accompany her every step in the silence of the night. Her body felt tired, a combination of tension due to the accidental incident with Joshua Andrew and the large number of customers who had come today. However, the tip he received today was quite abundant, at least it was able to erase his tiredness.

Soraya continued walking past three residential blocks under the shade of trees.

He tried to ignore the occasional passing car or the presence of people passing on the opposite sidewalk. When passing the third block, Soraya started to speed up her steps. He increased the volume of the song to chase away his fear.

This fear always comes to Soraya every time she comes home alone at night and is forced to pass by the location where her mother was killed. Upon arrival at the fourth block, Soraya turned left, then took a deep breath. He stopped every few seconds just to calm himself, while his eyes were fixed on the big tree where the killer was hiding.

Soraya still clearly remembers how the killer appeared suddenly and ended her mother's life in an instant. His heart was beating quickly in response to the memory. With fear enveloping her, Soraya began to walk, trying to remain brave even though her footing felt like it was floating. The feeling of fear became stronger as he started to approach the big tree.

Feeling wary and afraid, Soraya decided to stop for a moment, then check the surroundings before finally taking another step and passing the tree while running fast.. Finally, gasping for breath and a heart pounding wildly with fear, Soraya managed to arrive at the apartment building safely.

In fact, Soraya deserved to be afraid. Because without Soraya realizing it, a man had been following her since she left the station. And right now, the man was hiding behind a tree while looking at Soraya who walked into the apartment building in fear.
