Nadi didn't hesitate for even a split second. Though her soft yet frosty voice trembled with sobs, it carried unwavering determination. "Mom, I swear to you, for the rest of my life, I will never fall for Adi again, never be moved by him, never love him!"

Adi's pupils shrank. It felt as if tiny needles were pricking at the surface of his heart, bringing a dull, throbbing pain.

Nadi fell to her knees before Fatimah once more. "I know I was wrong. Loving him was a mistake, all my fault. You can hit me, scold me, just please stop risking your own safety!"

"Nadi, you're not the one who's wrong. The guilty party is that despicable man!" The tenderness on Fatimah's face vanished instantly as she turned her gaze towards Adi.

Through the curtain of rain, Fatimah's eyes were like blades, seemingly intent on piercing through Adi's very soul!
