"When I thought of green meadow, I always thought that I would only see green grass in a green meadow. But I was wrong, it turned out I could also find a beautiful flower tucked in between. "
"Why does loving you have to be so painful? She and I are both women"

Samuel's condo
In the living room of Samuel's condo, there was Evelyn sitting in front of Samuel with an expression of enduring pain.
"Sam slowly, it hurts!" Evelyn muttered softly.
Occasionally she hissed in pain as she felt the rub of the cotton, that Sam was holding.
"Sorry, does it hurt so bad? Let me blow it!" Samuel replied softly. His lips immediately blew out to the small wound that he had given the red medicine earlier.
"Is it still hurt?" Samuel asked.
"A little," Evelyn replied curtly.
Samuel continued his activities, cutting rolled plaster and opening a sterile wound dressing then immediately covering the wound on Evelyn's knee. Samuel's every action was watched closely by Evelyn. The look on his boss' face when focused was really handsome. No wonder, if there was a woman who claimed to be his President Director's fiance.
"Hold on...Why did I think like that?" Evelyn's mind was confused.
Samuel looked up after feeling that his work was done. He looked at Evelyn with a curious eyebrow as Evelyn's face looked like she was musing about something. Maybe if it was just ordinary daydreaming, he would take it as usual, but why would her assistant daydream by looking at him?
"What's wrong with Evelyn?" Samuel thought curiously.
"Lyn!"
Deg!
"Akh ... What is it Sam?" Evelyn gasped in surprise when Sam called out to her suddenly. Her face was so close to Samuel's that she reflexively retreated back. Seeing the funny reaction from Evelyn in front of him, Samuel was somehow pleased. He then realized that Evelyn could be daydreaming about him.
"Could it be?" Samuel thought.
"How does your knee feel right now? Is it better?" Samuel asked softly.
"Yes, thanks Sam!" Evelyn replied with an embarrassed smile.
"No problem, I'll take care of this first. You sit down and don't go anywhere!" Samuel said threateningly.
"Geez, where would I go Sam!" Evelyn replied irritably.
"Good," Samuel replied shortly.
He walked out of the living room to his room and changed the clothes he wore.
Meanwhile, Evelyn glanced around with her head turned to the left and right, admiring every interior in her boss' condo. It was really luxurious and elegant, especially the dividing glass that stood between the living room and the balcony. Even though, this was not her first time coming into Samuel's condo, she had been here for several times, but she could never stop to be amazed.
"How many more years can I buy a condo like this?" Evelyn muttered.
"What did you mean with how many years, Lyn?" Samuel asked suddenly. He stood closely behind Evelyn, who gasped in surprise when suddenly her low mutter could be heard.
"Geez Sam, could you not walk like ninjas? Without my notice, you stood suddenly behind me!" Evelyn cried irritated. She even tapped her chest because of surprise.
" Good thing, I didn't have a history of heart disease," Evelyn thought.
"You were too focused, Lyn. I even closed the door firmly. How could I move like a ninja? After all, have you ever seen a ninja?" Samuel asked.
Evelyn chuckled when she heard like usual Samuel's sarcastic tone. The President Director always uttered sarcastic words since they met, especially if she was wrong or made an argument.
"On television Sam. The movie title is Narto Shimpuden. The movie is funny, have you ever watched that?"
Samuel snorted but felt amusement at the same time when he heard what Evelyn said.
"I don't have time to watch television broadcasts. So how will I know about Narto or other thing," Samuel replied with an indifferent shrug.
"Geez, poor you. I bet, you had an unhappy childhood!" Evelyn said mockingly.
"Yes! How did you know?" Samuel asked back teasingly.
"Of course, I know. You were already this big when you were born. Bleeee ..." Evelyn replied with an expression of mocking Samuel.
"Geez....By the way, do you need to change clothes?" Samuel asked.
"No, I'll just change at home. What time is it now?" Evelyn asked.
"It's already late for sure!" Samuel said casually.
He had seen the clock on his bedroom earlier and it showed twenty past ten.
"I better go home now, then - "
"You can stay here. I happen to have a sudden job, so I can't take you home," Samuel said quickly. He interrupted Evelyn's sentence, which he already knew what it meant.
"But Sam- "
"Don't argue with me, Lyn, do you understand?" Samuel said in his stern tone.
"Why are you like this, Sam?" Evelyn protested.
"What do you mean?"
"Why do you behave like this? Why do you have to insist that everything should be going according to your will? It's contrary with your face that looks handsome, you know." Evelyn asked and joked at the end of her words because she knew that it was impolite of her to speak like this, but she was quite tired if she had to obey whatever he said. If it was only work-related that would be fine, but Samuel also insisted his will on things that were not worked related and outside of working hours too.
Deg!
Samuel's eyes widened in shock with a racing heart, when he heard Evelyn's words which contained a slightly angry tone.
"I am insisting?"
"Yes Samuel, you always impose your will on me. I know twenty-four hours I belong to you, but at least give me the choice to choose on my own will. And what did you mean by claiming to be my lover in front of so many people like that?" Evelyn cried smoothly.
Evelyn was not aware of what she was saying beacause she felt annoyed at the moment.
Deg!
"Oh my God, what did I just say!" Evelyn thought.
Evelyn's face turned into shock especially when she saw Samuel clenching his fists.
"Sam, I meant- "
"Am I really like that?" Samuel interrupted and asked in a low voice.
"Yes,"
Evelyn's quick, thoughtless answer was the last thing, before the atmosphere became awkward and silent as the two of them were lost in their own thoughts.
"...."
Evelyn closed her mouth when yet another thoughtless word, sliding smoothly off her lips.
"...."
But suddenly, she could hear someone's laughter. She winced in confusion when she saw Samuel laughing with his hands over his face.
"Ha ha ha!!!!"
"What's wrong with him?" Evelyn thought confused.
"This is the first time, ha-ha-ha !!"
"What is the first time?" Evelyn asked curiously.
Samuel did not answer, instead he chuckled with a strange feeling in his heart.
"Sam, what's wrong with you?" Evelyn asked irritably.
"You-"
Samuel laughed again when he was about to continue his sentence.
"Sam, are you crazy? Stop laughing right now!" Evelyn exclaimed.
Silence
Evelyn's tone of exclamation, made Samuel stop laughing, then immediately looked at Evelyn's startled face.
"You dare to command me, Evelyn Carla?" Samuel asked in a cold tone.
Deg! Deg! Deg!
Evelyn's heart skipped a beat when she heard Samuel's cold tone, even though she often heard her boss make that tone of voice, somehow Evelyn was now feeling scared.
"I- "
"This is the first time, I, Samuel Grahem was ordered by a woman, especially my assistant!" Samuel interrupted quickly.
"You are the first woman who is able to withstand the temptations of me, and you are also the only woman who dares to take out a protests against me. Ha ha ha!!"
"Samuel what do you mean?" Evelyn asked confused.
"Was the President Director angry because of my spontaneous words? " Evelyn thought.
"Evelyn you have to take responsibility,"
"What?"
"Everything has already happened,"
"What do you mean Sam?" She asked again.
"From this moment, you are mine. Period!"
"What??"
At Riki's house
After returning from a party that went wrong for him, Riki immediately entered and locked the door to his room.
Brugh !!!
He threw himself down on his soft mattress, then let out a tired sigh.
"Huft...actually what just happened? why did Evelyn never tell me if she and Samuel were lovers?" Riki muttered.
"Why is this happening when I finally dare to fight for my feelings?"
"No, I can't misunderstand her. I know who Evelyn is. She couldn't do something like this,"
"I have to call Evelyn right away!" Riki exclaimed after being satisfied muttering questions that no one could answer. He immediately looked for Evelyn's contacts, pressed the call button and put his cellphone on his ear.
Tut! Tut! Tut!
After the third dial tone, his calls had still not been answered which made Riki worry if there was something wrong with his Evelyn.
🔊The number you are calling is busy, please send a message, the number you-
Tut!
"Shit, why didn't you pick up Lyn?" Riki exclaimed irritated and worried.
"I'll try again!"
He also repeated his call then had to curse angrily, when again his call was not answered by Evelyn.
"Shit !!"
Riki grabbed his hair in frustration, when he felt something was wrong with Evelyn. Usually no matter how busy she was, if he called her, his call would definitely be accepted or at least, she would call back. But he waited up to an hour and there was no sign of a call back, let alone a call back, there was even no reply to his messages from her.
"Lyn, where are you?" Riki muttered worried.
🔊Ring! Ring! Ring!
Riki gasped in surprise when he heard his cellphone ringing. He really hoped that Evelyn was the one who called him. His smile faded when he found that it wasn't Evelyn calling, but from a new number he didn't know.
"Who is this?" He muttered in confusion.
He decided to accept the call, and the greeting of a foreign woman's voice was the first he heard.
Tut!
"Hello?"
"Hi Riki, it's me ..."
"Damn, who's the one I was expecting, but someone else was calling," Riki thought unhappily.
"Yes, who?" Riki asked pretending not to know.
"Riyanti, have you forgotten?"
"Ah .. Riyanti, sorry, I thought you were somebody else." Riki replied uncomfortably.
"I told you I want to be your friend!"
"Oh, is that so" Riki replied without interest.
"Riki .... Do you have time tomorrow? Would you like to go out with me?"
"What?"
