Dave POV's.
I feel lucky to still have a brother I can count on right now. And he is the only one I can count on. After all, I will indeed give her everything she already has. Like an apartment and a car. For the villa, I should have given it to her later, once she could run the villa well.
But, at a time like this, everything I have to accelerate, so that my company can return to success as before. I don't want to go back to living in a country of people. I brought him to move here, simply because here is the highest currency, at least if we return to Indonesia with savings money, we will look rich.
So it's okay for me, if he owns half the shares of the company, he's helping me. And I have to recover quickly, I have to investigate the cause of the burning of my office building in the afternoon. When all the Sudsh employees return to their homes.
“Bi, please make warm water in the container to soak my feet.”
“But, Sir, instead of that use special salt?” ask aunt again.
“Yes, but this time I just want to try. I know we don't have that salt.”
Suddenly someone appeared from the doorway of my room that opened and it was Mr. Andrew. I was surprised to see him, because I had stopped my therapy process with him and Leo had already contacted him.
“Auntie, please keep this and dissolve one teaspoon only if Mr. Dave wants to soak his feet,” he told his aunt there.
“How much should I pay for that bottle of salt?” I screamed from the edge of the bed.
“No need, it's free for you.” She stepped towards me while my aunt immediately accepted her and went about her duties.
Mr. Anderson sat in one of the chairs near me, which I had used as my training support for a few days.
I was a little confused by his generosity. I don't know what kind of wind made him behave this way and without expecting anything in return for the bottle of salt he had given me.
“Why so good with me?”
“Because all this time you've treated my father well, even when your office is having trouble, you didn't fire a single one of your employees and I'm grateful for that.”
“Your father?” I'm a little confused by him.
“Yes, I have told my father many times to stop working from your company, but he refused. Said the job was very easy and you gave it a decent salary for us and family,” he explained.
Mr. Andreas really makes me more confused by his words. “Tell me what your father's name is?”
She smiles. “Antonio, he's just an office boy in your company. But I'm proud to have it. I am proud of the people who continue to fight. So I guess, my actions are nothing.”
Then Mr. Andreas also said that if the money I sent to pay for his services, some of it he used to buy me a bottle of salt and then the rest, he gave it to his parents.
I was touched to hear his words. He is so respectful and loving to his parents that he is willing to give me something I really need. And all that he did was sincere. I really can't believe it, but there are still a lot of good people like him.
“Thank you. For now I can't repay our kindness, Mr. Andreas.”
“No need to reply, Sir. I love doing it.”
Then the aunt came to bring me a container that was also filled with water mixed with salt to dampen my feet. He also asked Mr. Andreas to teach him how to massage my legs, Mr. Andreas did it with pleasure.
I never thought I would be surrounded by such kind-hearted people. I thought, I just lived alone with Dana but I didn't.

Months passed, more and more progress from this foot, because at every opportunity I always trained it. Similarly, my brain and mind are getting better and slowly forgetting Lisa who never contacted me.
I called him once, but I never dared to speak, even if only by phone. Because I know myself, if I haven't been able to fully stand in front of him, let alone kneel down to apologize to him. I don't deserve.
Yes, I am a coward, I am weak and I am not happy to chase after the woman who dumped me. I learned that from my ex-wife. He had me numb and even furious with his behavior that destroyed the new relationship I built with Lisa.
However, I can't blame him completely either, if only I had been honest from the start. Maybe things won't happen and maybe he'll be here with me.
However, I like him who has strong principles. Because women must have that attitude so as not to be easily harassed.
“Excuse me, Sir. It's time we go,” scolds Leo.
Using a cane, I slowly stood up, limped through the room and stairs, towards the car that was already at the door of the house. Then enter slowly.
“Where are we going, Sir?” leo asked me after he was ready to drive the car.
“Bring me to the University of London. I want to meet her, before that I want to buy roses for her.” I exhaled.
These few days I gathered the courage to meet him. I just wanted to see him and ask him how he's been all this time. Because of the credit card bills that I receive every month, there is no transaction whatsoever. I told him to use the card so that his daily needs would be met.
Once there, Leo immediately found his whereabouts, because I still remember very well if today was his college schedule. I waited a long time until I suddenly saw a passing car. A car I know for sure.
When the car door opened, how surprised I was to see a woman who had been missing me all this time getting out of my brother's car. And with a happy laugh. They both seem to laugh together.
Immediately I closed these two eyes, then lowered my head. "Maybe I just mislooked! There's no way they know each other,” my mumbling fooled myself.
Long enough I lowered my face and tried to control the rhythm of my heartbeat. Evenbsku felt a little afraid to look up and look back. Because I'm not sure what I saw. Because maybe it's just my hallucination for a moment.
Not long after that the car door opened and Leo came back in. He said Lisa's college schedule was up for a few days ago. There is no schedule for college today.

Lisa POVS.
Almost every day in the last few weeks, Dana's been calling me. The man who humiliated me and who met me on the plane. He often takes me to lunch, dinner or just to take me to college. He was also a pretty good guy, even he always made me laugh his way around. Makes my day back in color.
Like this time, this morning he invited me to breakfast together and then immediately drove me to college. Even today his appearance looks a little different. If yesterday-yesterday he only wore a plain shirt and cloth pants, he was fully dressed along with his suit. Captivating. I like men who look like that. Sexier.
“Floo!!” The sound of someone screaming from behind made me turn around.
“What?!” my grimace to the man who shouted earlier, his name is Jonathan. The number one student at the college.
“So there's a guy who nyariin you in the picket room. Trus also nanyain your college schedule. Trus go away! Why go to college today? Know that the cave told him to wait for you earlier.”
I scrunched my eyebrows, confused by what Jonathan said. But I didn't seem to want to think too much about it, because my college assignment was more important for me to think about. Finally I just thanked him and went to the library.
**
Until almost midnight, I spend time to complete all my assignments, because tomorrow I have to submit my final assignment specifically for this semester, so that next semester I can take more specific courses from the majors I pursue.
I immediately tidied up a few scattered books and returned them to the place where I had picked them up. Then there are a few more books I borrowed from there. When I just came out of the library, my phone rang.
🎶
Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?
Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?
Just wait, can you come here please? 'Cause I want to be with you
🎶
I immediately took it from the bag and checked, whose name was on the screen and I found Dana's name there. I'll get that phone call soon. “Hallo?”
Then from across the street, Dana said that she was now out of the meeting room. Then he wanted to pick me up after I told him I was still on campus right now.
“Yes, if so I wait in the cafe in front of the campus? I'm dehydrated because of.” I gave you an excuse. Then we ended the call.
I went straight to the cafe in front of the campus and ordered a glass of black coffee ice and sat down waiting for Dana to pick up.
That's how me and him, the closer we got to talking to the two of us who also changed. I used you and me. Sometimes remembering the beginning of my acquaintance with him always makes me smile myself.
It had probably been about fifteen minutes that I sat here and finished my drink, until finally the man I was waiting for finally came to park his car right behind the glass wall where I was sitting, then he got out of there without wearing the suit he was wearing this morning.
“What drinks are good here?” he asked while sitting in front of me with his eyes looking at the large board on the wall that wrote down several types of menus in this cafe.
“What do you want to drink? Sweet one, seger or hot one?” bargained.
“If the sweet, I already have you, the seger is also in you, just if the hot I have not found the hell is in you or not,” the candle while smiling thinly at me.
“Gombal just keep going!” reply taunted.
Dana just smiled and watched me as she folded her hands on the table. “I have an idea, in two weeks your apartment is out of rent, right?”
I nodded and said if I have not found a suitable place to move that the rent is cheaper compared to the current one. Some items I have also sold online, to increase my savings so far. And I do not expect that the goods will sell quickly and also quite have value even though they are sold second-hand.
“What idea?”
“Follow me,” he said as he pulled my hand to get out of the cafe and into the car.
I was confused to see her height this time. Again full of surprises and mystery. Dana immediately let go of her tie as soon as she put my bag and book in the back seat, then said, “I love you a surprise, but wear this for blindfolds, how?”
For a moment I thought, and then accepted his request to cover my eyes with the tie he wore. After that the car that was riding this lamgsung darted away after he turned on the engine.
There was nothing I said during the trip, Dana just held my hand so tightly, that it made my heart beat quickly, she said, my breath suddenly rumbled as Dana took my hand and kissed the back of my hand so gently.
It's not the first time he's kissed the back of my hand, he's done that many times, to a public place at dinner. He used to do that, but not for me.
To me, only Dave had ever done it until suddenly my mind came back to that man. With Dave who always makes me happy. Then slowly in this recess, I again missed his presence. I miss her caresses and her soft touch.
In this state of closed eyes and Dana's treatment like this, made my mind just keep imagining if Dave was the one who did all that to me. Not Dana. Because the way he touched me was exactly the same way Dave treated me and that's only when I realized it. In such a condition.
