Michael was sitting leisurely in the living room enjoying a cup of tea and biscuits, with his mother. The man looks neat in a black suit without wearing a tie and combing his hair with a haircut style.
"Is Casey still the same as usual?" asked Jane, Michael's mother.
"I don't know, I haven't heard from her since yesterday," Michael replied with a flat look.
"Of course, it's because your phone is off. No one can call you, and you're drunk." Jane glanced at Michael rather sarcastically, then took her tea in a white cup.
Michael was silent with a blank stare, imagining what his life would be like if Casey never woke up. The man was still confused, getting tired of waiting and haunted by the fear that his lover would die at any moment.
"You'd better try to move on than this..you're mommy's only son, mommy wants you to get married and give a grandson," Jane said casually after sipping her tea. "Seems like Casey really can't be expected anymore, because her condition is very risky," she continued.
"It's not easy, Mom," Michael said.
"What's not easy, Michael. Mommy knows you need a companion to organize a better life, have a clear future...Previously Casey was perfect for you, but now her condition is like that, it's so unpredictable, and I don't know how long you have to wait for her when now you look so messy..."
"I love her, Mom. I haven't had time to make her happy yet."
"Yes, I know, but we can see that her condition is very unlikely for you to make you happy," said Jane, who looked glamorous in black casual pants combined with a gray top, letting her hair down and wearing a series of white gold jewelry. "Because the situation is like that, you get frustrated ... You are like a man with no future," she continued curtly.
"What do you mean, what should I do?" Michael asked.
"You have to try to move on..learn to love another girl who can make you better again, organize your life, build a household with you ... As usual ... Even among all your friends, only you are not married, and now your girlfriend is in a coma, and you want to wait for her without certainty. here mommy is starting to worry, moreover you don't seem to take care of yourself," said Jane seriously.
"It's not as easy as you think," said Michael curtly. "Just think about what if I managed to move on, then Casey suddenly woke up. She will be very hurt," he continued.
"It's easy, you explain to her that you think she's going to die."
Michael exhaled roughly, glancing at his mother who looked heartless. "I can't bear it, Mom..."
"And mommy couldn't bear to see you waiting and kept waiting..what if she will be in years, will you keep waiting for her? Mommy makes sure you become an old bachelor if you keep waiting for it, you don't think about mommy and the future of this family!"
"I don't know, Mom." Michael stood up. "I don't want to rush into this, after all, she hasn't been in a coma for a month. There's still hope she'll wake up soon enough."
"Yes, it's up to you!" said Jane curtly, letting Michael head out of the house.

In another place, Mia is getting lazy again to go to the office because there is no Michael who always picks her up and attracts her attention because she couldn't be contacted since yesterday. the girl was still lazy, only wearing a pink tanktop combined with white shorts and letting her hair down just like that. She stays in her room, taking selfies, posting every photo of her on social media.
Her gaze shifted to the open door of his room. She saw Oskar coming towards her, neatly dressed in a dark blue suit and combing his slightly curly hair neatly. the man approached her with a flat gaze as if he did not like to see her lazing around.
"Aren't you going to the office today? Are you actually up to the job I gave you or not? Otherwise, I'll find another employee and you won't have to go to the offices anymore!"
Mia exhaled harshly, chose to turn her face away, and said, "It's better because I'm not enthusiastic at all and I was never interested in becoming an office worker. I'm a girl, after all, one day when I'm married, will I get money from my husband."
Oskar smiled faintly then sat on the edge of the bed. "You lazy bastard. you should learn from Casey who worked hard and showed she was worth fighting for as a man. Is Michael still waiting for her even though she's dying?"
"What's wrong with you?"
"What do you mean?" asked Oskar, glancing at Mia who was sitting and looking at him with disapproval.
"What's wrong with you? Did I hear correctly... What are you talking about?" Mia wondered in surprise. "Do you want to compare me to Casey who has become an undead?"
"I'm not comparing, but that's the truth," replied Oskar casually. "If you are lazy, just stay at home, maybe the mate you get is also just a man who doesn't have a bright future."
"What do you mean?" Mia asked curtly.
"Just think about it...If you only hang out with your friends, you will date a guy who likes your friend, relies solely on money from his parents. But if you hang out with people like businessmen, then what you get are businessmen too. And it's like Casey… she is ogled by businessmen because she is beautiful and talented, even Michael is crazy about her, willing to wait for her who is still in a coma, even though she can wake up or not." Oskar explained casually, occasionally glancing at Mia who looked sexy, beautiful, even though Not yet taken a bath.
"But I'm not Casey," Mia said bending her face.
"Then do something else that makes you look good instead of this or hang out with your friends, that will keep you away from a good guy too," said Oskar casually. "I was thinking, you better approach Michael..he was handsome, rich, though a bit flat and unromantic. He is very workaholic and will be loyal when his heart falls for the right girl."
"Hmmm..." Mia lay back down. "Don't talk about him. Maybe he doesn't like me."
"But I see the last few days you two are very close. I think that's a good sign because he is the type of guy who is difficult to get close to other girls," said Oskar with a frown. "But somehow he didn't come here yesterday, and his number couldn't be reached either..do you know why?"
"I don't know," Mia said curtly.
Oskar was silent, starting to think about the mysterious person who was secretly investigating Casey's car accident.
"Could Michael still be thinking about the cause of Casey's accident?" asked Oscar.
"He never mentioned the accident at all," Mia replied with a frown, remembering Michael who had made love to her and then disappeared to nowhere. "Never mind, don't talk about him anymore. You'd better go to the office..Enjoy your position while Casey isn't awake. Later when she wakes up, I'm sure she will return to acting as a ruler."
"That will never happen," said Oskar curtly, then got up from the bed.
Mia was silent, glanced at Oskar who was now walking out of the room.. the girl wondered why her brother said that Casey would no longer be in power. Does that mean the older brother has a plan? Could it be that the older brother has bad plans for Casey?
