"Don't cry for someone like him. You deserve better than him, you also deserve to be happy. So stop crying and show him you can be fine without him. " Said Robert while rubbing Liza's back

After the weekend ended, a busy day began. Everyone returned to working hard. Claire, who has revealed the concept of clothing that will be produced on a large scale, began to busy preparing materials and overseeing the process of making clothes together with her team. Stella is busy with arranging schedules and preparing Robert's needs at each of his schedules. Whereas Robert was busy with important meetings for the inaugural launch of clothes produced by AD Group itself.
Liza and everyone who works in the customer service division is no less busy serving customers who order, ask questions and even complain. In the midst of the bustle Robert took time to send a message with Liza.
"Are you moving out this afternoon? Let me know when you want to go get your things, I will help you. " said Robert
"Thank you very much for helping me." Reply Liza
"It's okay, I'm glad I can help you." Robert replied again and the message ended
While Robert was happy because he could send a message with Liza in person. Stella is experiencing inner conflict. After that night full of events that Stella always avoid Claire even so she did not want to meet with Claire, she had to pay attention to her surroundings as she walked and when she saw Claire in the distance she would hide until Claire passed her.
Stella did that because she started feeling weird every time she saw Claire. The tightness that attacks the heart even though she is not sick. Stella would feel like something would swallow her into a black hole when she looked into Claire's eyes. Stella didn't even know what made her think why she could feel that way.
Maybe that unexpected night's events when Claire kissed her triggered her feelings right now. Or maybe when she looked at Claire and saw a different side of her it was the beginning of it all. Clearly, Stella herself did not know what had happened to her and she could only hide from Claire.
Even so Stella always secretly stole the opportunity to see Claire even she left several times just so Claire did not see her while she was guarding the secretary. Stella could not approach Claire but when she saw Claire at work and looked very close to her assistant Mira, Stella immediately felt something inside was burning. As if the cold air suddenly heats up.
Stella holds her chest and she doesn't believe in her. Then Stella saw Mira who nearly fell down the stairs and Claire caught her assistants until they looked like they were hugging. Seeing Claire staring at her assistant and with her attention to Mira made Stella feel asphyxiated like someone caught in a fire and inhaled a lot of smoke.
"No, this is definitely just a side effect of alcohol. Yes, it seems this is just because of alcohol, yes, it seems like I'm not fully aware. There's no way I ... can't be. " Stella said calming herself by denying everything that crossed her mind.
There is nothing fair in life or love. We can fall in love with anyone and we cannot stop it. There is no label in love because love is blind, if only we could choose the people we love we might not be broken hearted, but the beauty of love and its meaning will be lost.
There is nothing wrong in love, we only live in the stigma of people who like to judge everything and determine something good and bad. Though there is no white that is not black and there is no black without white.
We are too busy to follow the stigma, forget ourselves, wear masks to be accepted and deny all our feelings and in the end we forget ourselves and be shackled in pseudo happiness. Even though we will be happy if we can be ourselves and accept who we are.
Love is very mysterious and difficult to understand. It came and went arbitrarily without our permission. Love turns us into dolls that are controlled arbitrarily. We cry and laugh because of it and sometimes we change into others just because of love.
Love can make our lives beautiful and very happy, but love can also bring the worst dreams in our lives and destroy the happiness that we build. And when we realize the love we feel is not real we will be destroyed and the wound will continue to scar without anyone being able to treat it.

Havana is known as a city of paradise not only because of its beautiful sea views, but everyone who visits this city will feel like being in heaven because the locals are very kind. In fact we will want to come dance with local residents every night.
Alex and Precious who did not want to miss that little happiness also danced with local residents who were having a party on the street. In Havana it is natural to see citizens dancing in the streets at night. Those who are very friendly invite everyone who passes by to dance and that is why Alex and Precious come to dance with them.
Local special music there becomes accompanist during their dance. The beautiful night sky studded with stars and the moon shining brightly bears witness to the small happiness of the newlywed couple. A smile broke out on their faces when they danced. Their eyes looked at each other deeply and they hugged while dancing to the music.
"Before returning tomorrow, we buy baby clothes first." Said Alex
"Didn't we already buy it?" Asked Precious
"Yes, but I want to buy more as a gift for Light for accompanying us." Said Alex while stroking Precious stomach
Alex then takes out his cellphone and takes a picture of himself and Precious with it. Alex then looked at the picture and he couldn't stop smiling. He looked so happy that Precious who saw him smiled. Precious also kissed Alex's dimples that appeared when he smiled.
"Why do you look so happy?" Precious asked, staring at Alex
"Isn't our family photo very beautiful." Said Alex, staring at the photo he just took with a look of admiration
"Isn't that a family photo yet? There are only the two of us in the photo ... "said Precious and Alex immediately shook his head
"Not the two of us, but the three of us. There is also Light in this photo. " Said Alex
