AMONG HIM

Wherever You Go, I'll Be There

Nothing changes from Liam, the man still remains possessive following Dee wherever her little girl moves in the house. Yeah, except when Dee goes to the bathroom.

"Silver like a trailer "Dee protested seeing Liam follow him into the kitchen while picking up grapes in the fridge.

"I don't want to lose you again." Liam stood next to Dee while straddling.

"For example, my suitcase is in my sister's room. I've given you my mobile number, my residence address is complete in Moscow, my office, your mobile number, your home address in Bandung. Less try?" Dee's murmur turned towards Liam with a frown.

"Can't you go back to living in Indonesia Dawn? Here with me?" Liam continued railing at the girl whose hair was plucked upwards. The neckline was publicly displayed, making Liam swallow his saliva every time he set his eyes on it.

Liam is trying to hold Dee back who is 3 days away from returning to Russia. They will be separated by a great distance.

Dee did not answer but walked gontai carrying a plate filled with fruit to the sofa, Liam will play his film genre romantic drama genre ended tragically, a film about a man's love for a woman but only clapping one hand. The story of Liam himself loving Dee unilaterally.

"Stupid.!" Bump Dee while putting wine in his mouth "Marissa should have received Alvin. The man loved her sincerely." he continued unknowingly if the film he watched told me about himself.

Liam looked towards Dee who was cross-legged on the sofa while holding his fruit plate, he then shifted closer, grabbing the body of his little girl, clutching in his arms.

"Stupid must have met, Dawn." he muttered softly as he rubbed Dee's arm.

"Like that?" Dee raised her gaze towards Liam's face, the man nodded with a knotty smile.

"What are we doing, brother?"

"Dawn wants to come to my sister's office? Want to check the preparation of the latest film's premiere gala,"

Dee fell silent then leaned against Liam's chest.

"Why?" Liam asked this time draping his hands together on Dee's collarbone

"There's no Ricchi really" Liam explained, as if guessing the contents of his little girl's head.

"You're still in love with Ricchi, aren't you, Grandpa?"

Dee gasped at Liam's question, for a moment he stared at the face of the man who was only a centimeter from his face.

"Sister Ricchi already has a fiancee, there's no way I've got feelings for her, sister. Honey yes, because Ricchi was once the best in my heart,"

Liam tightened his arms with his lips pressed forward "The woman quickly moved on yah" he muttered softly.

Dee chuckled at Liam's words "It's been 3 years, brother, there's no way anyone can keep the feeling of love that long,"

"There's." Mumbled Liam.

Liam's dark heart for years begins to be enlightened by Dee's explanations, he will look for the best opportunity to approach again and melt the girl's frozen heart.

...

Liam's office last night turned out to be in downtown Jakarta, a tall building with 45 floors, and his own office took 5 floors divided by various divisions. Seemat Dee 3 years ago Liam's office was only a 3-story shophouse located not far from the accounting firm where he worked.

"Sister is getting more successful" praised Dee as they were in the elevator to the 44th floor according to the numbers pressed by the tall man holding his fingers.

"For your sake." Liam smiled obliquely looking at Dee who was advancing her lips then hissing.

"Never send money when you disappear, make tuition. Turns out you've deactivated your account number, Dek" said Liam shakes his head in disbelief "Your head is really detailed well Dawn, a little thing like that can not be separated from your observation to disappear without a trace," manyun.

Dee smiled faintly considering that before his departure to Moscow all had been prepared by him, the transfer of savings, the house was handed over to the agent and did not forget he returned the car and Ricchi's debit card. Leaving everything like that made Dee feel relieved without burden while in his new country.

...

The gaze of Farubun Pictures employees - the name of the film production house Liam - all stared at its CEO who for the first time in history took a woman to the office or wherever it was. Dee is caught off guard by Liam's clerk's sharp spies, as if she's about to get back into the gossip tabloids.

"We go straight to the meeting room, gather the others" said Liam firmly towards the woman who may be in line with Dee, the brown-skinned young woman assented while stealing a glance towards the girl in the grasp of her CEO.

Liam also led Dee to move forward towards the space he thought was a glass-walled meeting room, inside which was a long glass table with seats of more than 20 pieces.

"Sister, can I just wait in my sister's office?" Tanya Dee raised her head to look at the tall man's face as soon as they had entered the meeting room which was still quiet.

"No way" Liam said as he shook his head, "Sit down next to me, I told Dawn I'm afraid of losing you" he continued, putting both hands on Dee's shoulders, lowering his head to align their gaze.

"But I'm ashamed brother, I had nothing to do with sister's meeting" Dee looked straight into the narrow eyes of the man in front of her.

A subtle caress on Dee's cheek that made her blush red with a heartbeat beats double "What I'm doing now, you deserve to know, Deck."

The knock on the glass door made Liam stop the intimacy he slowly woke up, as the grimacing the tall CEO nodded to the people standing outside the room.

...

After the meeting, Liam took Dee to a shopping mall for lunch at a Japanese food restaurant. Liam is famous but does not necessarily become the center of attention when walking with the man. Dee could freely cast her gaze at the shops they passed by.

"Is there anything you want to buy?" Ask Liam.

"You buy some batik shirts, and Indonesian knickknacks. Make souvenirs by office friends." said Dee bluntly.

"We ate first, then went to the store" Liam broke down his smile, though his heart was saddened to hear that Dee had already made up his mind to return to Russia.

"Thank you, brother."

Liam only sighed deeply while staring fixedly at his little girl.

Two hours later, Liam insisted on paying for all of Dee's groceries at the batik store, even when choosing the director's hand to ask anyone, and more details when the item was for a man.

"Here brother bring it." Liam grabbed the groceries from Dee's hand

Dee only handed over two cantons and 1 of his own he tote.

"Dawn, what else do you want to buy?" Ask Liam.

Dee shook her head while making a smile.

Liam bit his lower lip and looked at Dee for a bit and then cast his gaze at the jewelry store in front of them. Liam also tightly knit Dee's hand into the store which was so brightly lit with lights.

The black-blazed female employee in tune with her skirt immediately greeted Liam and Dee kindly.

"Good day Mr Liam" said the clerk with Lina's nameplate on the right of his blazer "Is there anything we can help you with?"

Dee's heart is now pounding 5 times his beat compared to the normal pounding of his vital organs.

"We are looking for mbak couple ring, can recommend the best model?" Liam tilted a knotty smile towards Lina who could recognize him.

Soon after, Lina brought out several models of couple rings. Liam's hand was holding Dee's back.

"Where about this one?" Said Liam grabbing a simple-modeled ring and asking Dee for approval.

"Sister" muttered softly Dee looked towards Liam, her heart full of anxiety.

"Yes?" Liam asked lowered his face towards Dee.

I don't know what demon helped Liam until Dee nodded her head weakly.

Even when trying to size the size, as if the two rings were made specifically for Liam and Dee. Very fitting.

"Miss Lina, can you add the inscription on the ring?"

"Can Mr. Liam, what would you like to write?" Reply Lina asked as she picked up a small piece of white paper along with a pen.

Liam immediately wrote something on the white paper and Dee pulled her lips into a deep smile after reading the director's sweet masculine writing.

"Waiting 30 minutes yah mbak and Mr. Liam" said Lina nodded.

"Payment, Miss." said Liam politely and then stood up to take the wallet and get his platinum debit card, he also handed it to an employee Emerald Jewerly to Lina's colleague named Lestari.

While waiting for Liam to hold Dee's hands, he kissed her.

"Dawn, my feelings never change for you. Same feeling as 3 years ago. We're both still alone, so can we start a relationship that's more like a brother and sister?"

Haru taste ambushed Dee's heart, somehow Liam's statement made him this emotional.

"But we'll be apart, brother?" Dee said with blurry eyes, her lips trembling faintly.

Dee's words made Liam smile widely, not a rejection he got.

"It's not why Dawn, whether you or I will give up the thousands of kilometers, but one day we will be together. We go through this first and learn from each other. Given the age of the two of us is no longer a playful relationship"

Again the two fingers of Dee were frowned upon by Liam, the look on the man's eyes was so shady. Dee misjudged that Liam had not changed, instead the man in front of her was growing older.

During the 24 hours they were together, Dee could not deny many times the pounding in his heart surged with attention, closeness even hugs Liam last night when they slept together.

"Now you're mine." said Liam when pairing a 14-carat white gold ring with a "i'll be there" engraving on Dee's sweet fingers, while the ring on Liam's fingers read "wherever you go"

The two then looked at each other with wide smiles on their faces. Dee no longer hesitated, fully trusting the man in front of her.

...

Two days later, Dee must return to the real world. His 7-day leave is over, it's time for Dee to return to the biggest country in the world.

Dee hugged Kevin's only brother who had stepped on his first year on the college bench, a young man who experienced a very drastic increase in height of 5 centimeters below Liam's height of 189cm.

"Don't mess around there" whispered Kevin in the ear of his brother who immediately pinched his cheek as soon as he finished saying his words.

Yes, Dee's family came this morning from Bandung to take her to the airport, they met at the restaurant and there Liam also introduced himself officially to his parents.

Although it does not explain their relationship, Dwi Arya Ragala and Chyntia Ragala - her mother can read if Dee and Liam are closer than before. Not to mention the same ring coiled in the sweet fingers of both, convincing both parents Dee about the special relationship of her daughter with the famous director.

Liam clenched tightly while kissing the top of his little girl's head, saying nothing more. Last night Liam had poured out all his heart to Dee. Sad feelings are left up to the courage to believe in their relationship.

"Wherever you go, i'll be there, Dawn" murmured Liam to the smile of his little girl.

"I know, Brother" Dee rubbed Liam's cheek gently.

Dee hugged me one by one, Mom and Kevin for the last time.

A carefree hand with lips flashed a big smile as Dee walked towards the returning departure gate to separate them.

"Come to Belviyah after all your work is done, son" said Chyntia rubbed the long back of the girl's special man.

"Mom surely." said Liam nodded his head.

...

And then somewhere else a while later.

Ricchi held back his tears from falling when he saw Liam's post on social media, the man who never published his private life sharing a video of Dee waving with a beautiful smile. The cry from the red lips that said "I love you all" made his heart throb pain.

"I love you too, dear" Ricchi said slowly repeating the video.
