They were in the car for almost half an hour, in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Jakarta. The day was always busy and hectic, making Lucia's head feel tired.
That afternoon, unexpectedly, it was raining heavily, adding to traffic jams on the highway to West Jakarta. An upset heart accompanied by fatigue, it seemed Lucia wanted to go far away from Jakarta.
However, there Vanya still hoped that she would return to the Weng family's house at a time when her father no longer cared about Lucia. Kyung Joon followed Lucia to Bertha's house, he thought that Lucia would stay at a friend's house.
Bertha felt that if Kyung Joon was looking for them somewhere, she would become anxious and restless, so she didn't notice the condition of Lucia who was sitting limply beside her holding her head.
Ah ... why my body is so weak and not excited huh? I have a headache too. Lucia thought.
Two women who were in Kyung Joon's target, tried to avoid their boss even though in the future, they would never be able to avoid trouble and Kyung Joon's anger.
To reduce her dizziness and weakness, Lucia tried to sit up in an upright position, and slowly opened the car window, so that air could enter the car. Though outside, the rain was getting heavier, but she didn't care.
Bertha quickly turned to her left, because she felt an extraordinary cold, besides that the car AC was so cold that it pierced to the bone.
"Lus, what are you doing? How come you suddenly opened the window?" asked Bertha in surprise.
"Sorry, Tha. I had to open the window because my head was dizzy, maybe if I open the window and get some fresh air, the dizziness will go away soon," answered Luci without turning around and looking at Bertha.
"But it's raining hard outside, you'll get sick later. I'll be sick too, you have to close the window Lus." Bertha ordered.
Lucia shook her head, refusing Bertha's orders. "No, I won't close the window."
"It's up to you, but if you get sick later don't blame me. Remember, next week we are going on vacation to Greece, you have to take care of your health." Bertha advised while keeping her eyes focused on the highway.
"How can I not get sick, after yesterday's problems kept bothering me. I'm so sick of it and want to go far from Jakarta," complained Lucia flatly.
"Soon we will arrive at the Four Clover Hotel, when we get there we will have dinner first, okay?" Bertha asked, hoping Lucia wouldn't turn down her invitation to dinner.
"I don't have an appetite, Tha. You just eat, I'm not coming with you. Hmm ... looks like Kyung Joon is trying to find me, I'm afraid he will come to your house and tell your parents everything. Sorry again, for involving you in my troubles," Lucia regretted, she looked at Bertha with a serious look.
Bertha took a deep breath. "It's okay, you don't involve me in your problems at all. After all, I myself want to help you get out of this vicious circle. From the past, the habits in your house have never changed until now. There is no freedom in choosing a life partner, causing you and your older sister are restrained, aren't you?"
"Yes, that's true. Poor my sister, if at that time she wasn't forced to marry a man she didn't know, maybe Sis Irene would still live with us or at least still appear at family events and so on." Lucia said it in a sad tone while looking down.
"Apparently, your relationship with your sister is quite close, huh. Is she the only person who can understand your feelings, Lus?"
"Yes, that is right. Apart from her, my other two brothers are always busy and never care about me. They only care about my parents, also very obedient to dad and mom's orders. Meanwhile, Sis Irene and I are considered dissidents," Lucia grumbled irritatedly.
"Is not following your parents' orders a mistake? Especially in terms of matchmaking, choosing a husband, and others. Love can't be forced, neither can the heart. By the way, I just found out if Mr. Kyung Joon has such a trait," concluded Bertha.
"Which trait? I didn't understand what you just said," Lucia replied confusedly.
"Huh, are you pretending not to know or what? It's clear that his nature is an angry, temperamental and likes to threaten others," explained Bertha.
"Oh, I don't think that's his true nature. Maybe there are other traits that no one has ever known, including the nature of liking to seduce women. My dream yesterday was so real, i thought Mr. Kyung Joon was married before," Lucia guessed.
"We can't guess, Luci. You're not a dream expert, so to prove your dream yesterday then we have to investigate. There are still people in the office who can be trusted, although not 100 percent. Tomorrow morning I will find out if Mr. Kyung Joon is married or not, okay?" Bertha smiled broadly at Lucia, she was very confident that her investigation would be successful. Bertha's way of speaking was like that of a detective.
"Well, I hope my dream is true, so that I can be free from Mr. Kyung Joon, and explain everything to my parents, that my words are not just nonsense," added Lucia excitedly
