ELEGANCE OF TWO HEARTS

Chapter 26's

DAVE POV

I'm David Feinstein Jr., just call Dave, simple and familiar of course. I was supposed to be working on my parents' property, but I was more interested in the private detective business that started my pilot while studying at Imperial College in London. There I was pleased with Pradjna, a girl who was not only beautiful but also intelligent and independent. He's the perfect blend to make a life partner. With him I could talk about anything and he could always look at anything with a different perspective.

It's just that I was disappointed when I found out that he was no longer alone. His bulging stomach proved that he was already tied to another man. As time went on I knew that her love life was very complicated.

There was a bit of pity with his condition, but seeing the rigidity and determination of his burning life was a domineering pride.

I'm so proud of her.

He is also the reason I started my business. I secretly found out who Haris Rahardjo was. I found out over the internet all about that guy. Then during the winter break I went to America, making sure in person. The first time I saw Haris, I saw how familiar his face was, like Arya's face, the boy had the right mix of genes from both parents.

Too bad his father didn't know that he had a son as handsome and as smart as Arya.

I want to be the father of that funny boy. Several times I asked Pradjna for a clear relationship, with a legitimate bond of course.

Many times Pradjna refused, saying he loved me but he could not live with me. Cliche reasons, Hana - our best friend, loves me.

He can't lose any of us.

Until he came back to Indonesia, I was almost crazy at the time. My job I can't leave, it frustrates me. A few weeks later he contacted me via email, telling me that he was fine. My entire tiredness was gone then and there was also a change with an excruciating longing. I wanted it to fly over and embrace him.

Then suddenly Hana called me one morning, she explained a lot of things. Said that I was the only one he could trust to keep Pradjna as well as Arya.

I made sure of all the schedules before deciding to go to Indonesia. Contact some of my agents who were there. It's not the first time I've explored Haris' personal life and his family, especially his mother - the main cause of the complex relationship between Pradjna and Haris.

I have to make sure my woman is not touched anymore. He must live happily, happily ever after, and I wish I was his white riding prince.

Pradjna always laughed out loud when I said that, then she would pat me on the cheek and say "Hana is your princess, Dave, not me. There is nothing in the fairy tale about a princess who gives birth to another man and marries a prince".

After that he would hug me, then repeat his words "Together with Hana, you will be happy, I'll bet on that".

Hana's good, it's just that she's not as warm as Pradjna. "That's because you don't want to know her any deeper, because all you see is me. Just try for a minute you blow your heart at him, you must melt. I'm just your obsession Dave, sober up" he continued.

This is where I am now, back with him, living under one roof, being able to look at him at all times, and he is still the same - still rejecting me.

How unfortunate I am.
