For a moment...I feel like in a dream. With this warm embrace on me...and this scent...I felt calm. For a while, I was feeling very happy. I feel that I don't wake up from these dreams. I want to stay in this dream for a long time...
Suddenly, I remember something about last night! I quickly open my eyes and I was shocked to see Emmanuel lying down beside me. Did we sleep together for the night? Argh! This is all because of the fever!
I slowly let go of the hug and I slowly put his hand away from me. Then, suddenly he awakens and he looks at me with his sleepy eyes. I want to get up but he still didn't let his hand away. I lying stiffly there.
Our eyes both looked at each other. My heart pounding speedily. I don't know what to do and looking at him closely like this, I felt embarrassed. Then, he slowly put his hand on my forehead to check my temperature.
In fact, my fever already has gone but it looks like my body still in fever because of him next to me! ''Um...I'm okay...''
''But why your body still warm? Should we go to the hospital?''
''No! I'm really okay...it just...just...''
''Just what??''
''Nothing.''
He secretly smiles as he deliberately teases her. ''Oh, I know why you still feel warm.''
''Why?'' I suddenly feel nervous. Did he know about my feeling right now? Did he think me over the line? ''It's nothing. My body normally feels like this after I get a fever. Hahaha.'' I pretend to laugh.
''You want to know...why?'' He whispering in my ears. I nervously waiting for his words.
He leans closer to me and he stroke my hair gently. "Did you feel your heart beating faster right now?"
I nod slowly.
''Did you feel excited right now...?''
I nod.
"Did you... expect more than this?"
I nod my head again. I was captivated by his gaze. Suddenly, I realize something! "No! I don't feel anything right now! I...I going to shower now!'' I quickly get up from the bed and quickly walk into the bathroom. He just smiling himself there.
After an hour, I did shower and getting ready to out of my room. I wonder where he has been. Suddenly, I smell something delicious from the kitchen. I saw him cooking there and prepared some food. I walk toward him.
''What are you cook?'' I ask him from behind.
''I cook some porridge for you. Just wait for a while.''
''Okay.''
I pensively sitting at the dining table while looking at him from the back. I was smiling by myself there. ''Did you more attractive to me right now?'' He said while giving a smiling wink to me. I just chuckle.
''Um...Jessa, I can't have breakfast with you now and I have to go after this. I still have something to do.''
''Right now? You still have work to do on weekend?''
''Mm...actually...I have something to do with my family. They need something to discuss with me.''
''Oh, I see. It's okay. You may go.''
''Let me serve this porridge for you first.'' He gives a genuine smile at me and I smile at him too.
Later on, I was alone at home after Emmanuel has left. Besides that, my sister also still didn't go back home yet. I just spent my time at my home watching a movie. Suddenly, Lily send a message to me and said that our old friends invite us to join the reunion.
I was thinking for a while to join it or not. After all, I don't have anything to do at home and I just decided to join them. Moreover, Lily keeps asking me to join them. Then, I quickly change my clothes and ready to go out. Before that, I have sent a message to Emmanuel about the invitation.
I actually want him to accompany me to go there, but I think he may still be busy with his family as he didn't reply to any of my messages. I'm a little upset but I had to let it be because he with his family.

***At the Hotel Destiny, Rooftop
I was arriving at that place together with Lily and her husband. Actually, they ask each of us to have a partner to join in this reunion. But, as Emmanuel busy with his family, I just decide to go there without a partner. After all, it just a reunion!
''Jordyn, are you sure Emmanuel cannot come here?'' Lily asks as she feels curious.
''Yeah. He has something to do with his family. I can't be selfish to ask him to come here with me.''
''I see. It's okay, dear. You have me and Jason.'' All of us burst into laughter.
Then, we go into the hotel and went to the rooftop area where the reunion has been held. As soon as we reached there, there were many of our old friends already arriving with their own partner. We just greeted each other.
All of sudden, there was one man who approached me from behind. I was shocked.
''Marcus! You have been here too?''
''Yeah. I don't want to miss this special reunion. After all, I know you will come too. I'm happy to see you again.''
''Yeah. Me too.'' Suddenly, I feel awkward with him. For this time, he looks a little odd to me.
''You look so beautiful in that peach color dress.'' He gives a compliment to her while gazing deeply into her.
''Oh, thank you. Um...are you alone?'' I tried to change our topic as he looks at me weirdly.
''Yes. But, if we have been together before, I think we must have come in as partners right now.''
''Hahaha...'' I just laughed awkwardly. My eyes keep looking for Lily. I just hope she can save me right now. I just feel a little uncomfortable with him.
''By the way...are you alone too? Where is your fiance?''
''Fiance?? Oh...he busy.'' I suddenly remember about Emmanuel. They actually have met before.
''I see...he must be a busy person. Look like he more loves his work than his fiancee.'' He smirked.
''No, he just has a gathering with his family.''
''Oh, but still...he looks like he does not give a priority to you but to his family.'' Marcus still tried to provoke her.
''I don't think so. He is a very nice person. He never disregards me. I just respect him as he also wants to have time with his family.''
''He is very lucky to have you. Unfortunately, I regret not to notice about you before.''
''Emm, excuse me...I want to meet my other friend there. It's glad to meet with you again." I was annoyed with his words. I was regret having a crush on him before. I just want to quickly end our conversation there.
I walk away from him and greet my other friends there. Actually, I want to go out from there as soon as possible. I was tired to answer each of their question about my life. Well, yeah... if we having a reunion like this with our old friends, they will always keep asking about our life and of course, show off about their partner. Do you all think I will single forever? I have a boyfriend too! I bet you all will jealous of my life! I was murmured by myself there.
Then, I going to the toilet as I feel suffocated from staying there for a long time. I go down as the toilet in that hotel was on another level. After a few minutes, I arrived at the toilet. I just do my things there.
All of sudden, I was shocked to see Marcus appeared in that toilet. I don't know why he suddenly comes in. He keeps looking at me with a weird look. He suddenly smirked.
I was standing there nervously. I hold my beg tightly and prepared to use that as my weapon.
"Marcus...! What are you doing here? Don't you know this is for the Ladies only?"
"Oops! Really? I entered by mistake. But, it's okay... any way...I came here just for you.'' He slowly moves closer to Jordyn.
''What do you mean?? Don't you ever think to do something on me! I will call the police right now!'' I tried to make a call on my handphone. But he instantly grabbed the handphone from my hand.
''Jordyn...relax...there no need for other people to interrupt our precious time right now. After all, there was no one else will hear us here.'' he laughed wickedly
''Jordyn...I will make you mine tonight...!''
''Marcus, I beg of you. Please let me go. We are old friends, right. There no need to do things like this. Why don't we talk outside there...''
''Old friend?? Don't you have a long crush on me for a long time before? Why don't we be together now? I want you too, Jordyn Jessa...''
''Marcus...that already has been past. I don't have a crush on you anymore. I...I just think of you as my friend...''
He suddenly moves closer to me and pulls me firmly towards him. ''Why?! Why we must be a friend? I don't want to be your friend! I want you to be mine!'' He raises his voice.
''Marcus, you are sick! Just let me go!'' I tried to lose myself from his strong grip.
"Yeah, I'm sick of you! And I crazy about you!''
He instantly pulling my clothes apart and he tried to kiss me. But, I immediately give a bite on his head. I bitting his head as hard as I could. Then, he screamed in pain. I want quickly run away from there but he managed to pull me again.
I struggle with myself to escape from him but he stronger than me. I was screaming out loud there to ask for help. I just really hope that someone will hear my voice there. I hope that someone will come there and help me at that time.
After that, a woman was coming into the toilet. After hearing the noise, she quickly enters the toilet hurriedly and she kicks his back strongly with her legs. She also kicks on his private area and hits his head strongly. Marcus has fainted there.
Then, she calls directly to the police. Jordyn just sitting in the corner and crying. After a few minutes, the police has come. They take a few statements from them and bring Marcus to the police station.
''Um...are you okay? He was already gone. If you don't mind, I can help you to send you back home.''
Jordyn still didn't answer her question and keep crying there. Her body was shivering. Then, a woman makes a call to someone. She asks her brother to come and help them there.
After a minute, her brother was arriving there. ''Bella, what happens? Your voice sounded anxious earlier.''
''I just caught some perv man just now. They already bring him to the police station. Right now, the victim girl still inside there. Her clothes were ripped. I think she still in trauma. I just thought to bring her into the hospital first.''
''Where is she?''
''There.'' She pointing to Jordyn at the corner that sat crying while covering her face.
''Um...miss...are you okay? Please wear my coat to cover yourself...'' He said slowly.
''It's okay, he already has gone.'' He added. But Jordyn still didn't lift her face. ''Miss...'' He touched her shoulder. Then, Jordyn slowly lifts up her face slowly. And for a moment...both of them surprised to see each other.
''Jessa??''
''Karson...''
She didn't talk much and immediately hug him tightly. Emmanuel was shocked to see her like that. Bella in a puzzle to watch them. Did they know each other? She thought.
In fact, coincidentally Emmanuel has dinner with his family at that hotel. He didn't know that Jordyn was in that place too. He tried to comfort Jessa at that time. He stroke her hair gently and kiss her head.
At that moment...I felt safe to have Emmanuel on my side. I can't believe that I meet him at that time. I don't know what will happen to me if they didn't come and help me.
