I Want to Be Loved
Extra Part Daniel and Maura
Thank you
The two words Daniel gave to Maura when they finished making love. It turned out that their previous unconsciousness had them drifting in that hot game.
Daniel who previously could always control himself surrendered before Maura. Maura was the same, the love for Daniel overcame her. He let his body betray him.
Daniel and Maura have had this relationship twice. That afternoon Daniel deliberately emptied his time to spend with Maura before Maura returned to America tomorrow.
Daniel comes to Maura's apartment and spends their time making love in bed.
Maura's breathing was still irregular after Daniel had exhausted his strength. By closing her eyes Maura scooped up as much air as possible to replenish the oxygen supply in her lungs.
Daniel rolled over to Maura's side. Daniel's blanket pulled to cover his innocent body as well as Maura's.
Daniel wrapped his hand along Maura's shoulder and brought her into his arms. Daniel's kiss back on Maura's forehead.
"You tired?" ask Daniel.
Maura nodded her head.
"So tomorrow you're back in America?" ask Daniel.
"Yes" answered Maura. "My flight's at 12 tonight."
"Why time goes so fast. It feels like just yesterday we met and have to separate again" Daniel lamented.
"I will miss you very much later" Maura said.
"I'm going to miss you too. And will miss this togetherness of ours." Daniel whispered in Maura's ear making a red hue created on her cheek.
"You set me up, Daniel," said Maura. "You're making me not be able to resist this."
"You're the one who made me unable to control myself" Daniel said.
Both are laughing small. They still feel inattentive to themselves. Things they never imagined they had done before their sacred promise.
"Hurry back" said Daniel.
"Wait for me" Maura pinta.
"Of course" said Daniel.
They can't wait to tie the two together with a sacred bond. However, Maura's work hindered them.
It could have been Maura backing down from her job that second as well, but it couldn't. It was not that he could not afford to pay the fine if Maura resigned, but his professionalism would be at stake.
"I promise Daniel, once we get married I'll resign from my job. I'll just focus on you and our children later" Maura said.
"Thank you." Daniel peeked at Maura's forehead in a long time.
"I love you Maura" said Daniel.
"I love you very much too Daniel," Maura replied.

At night Daniel and his family were on their way to the airport. The plan is they will take Maura's departure to return to America.
"You're glad you've decided to get married. Mama can't wait four more months" exclaimed Mariana.
"Daniel, you will not lose to Gio and Flora. After you and Maura get married, you have to have children. If you need to make it day until night, yes" said Mariana.
Daniel and Ardi could only shake their heads.
"Well, rich is predictable" Daniel said.
"You want us to make it from day to night, if indeed we have not been given the same belief God will also not be so," replied Daniel.
"Yes, too" said Mariana.
"Mommy don't force Daniel to be with Maura. Let them live their own lives" Ardi said.
"Lagian Felicia's also my mom's granddaughter, right?" said Ardi.
"Yes, Pah. But mama also wants to carry her son Daniel, Pah," said Mariana.
"Give God alone, Mah," said Daniel.
Their conversation had to come to a standstill the moment they arrived at the airport. After parking the car, the three immediately got off and walked into the airport entrance.
Daniel approached Maura when he saw her lover.
"Hi" said Daniel.
"Hi," Maura replied.
"Have you checked in?" ask Daniel.
"Yet. I'm waiting for you" Maura replied.
Daniel smiled faintly to respond to Maura's reply.
Daniel and Maura asked their parents for permission to chat.
"Take care of yourself there" said Daniel.
"Yes." Yeah." Maura nodded her head.
"If there's anything, you call me right away" Daniel said.
"You mean something that ... if I'm pregnant?" tanya Muara who was directly nagged by Daniel.
"This sounds funny, honey. We're not officially married yet and you've been hoping I'm pregnant." Maura said a word followed by her small laugh.
Daniel pulled the nape of Maura and landed a kiss on Maura's forehead. "Repace back."
Maura closed her eyes as Daniel kissed her forehead. From the kiss it was as if there was a calmness flowing all over his body.
Daniel pulled himself up and took Maura into his arms.
"Daniel, Maura .. You're done chatting."
Diki's voice forced Daniel and Maura to withdraw from each other. Both of them saw their parents walking towards him.
"Let's Maura, hurry up and finish your work contact. We can't wait to have grandchildren" Diki said.
"What the hell, Pah." Maura blushed in embarrassment and became misbehaved.
"Let's take you to check in" Daniel asked.
Maura nodded to accept Daniel. Before that Maura said goodbye to both her parents as well as her two prospective in-laws.
"I'm leaving first" said Maura.
"Yes, Honey. You take good care of yourself there. You always tell us" Talita said.
"Yes, Mah" said Maura.
Daniel helps Maura carry her things. The two stepped towards the place to check in.
"I'm leaving" said Maura. "Please give your heart to me."
"Of course, let me know if you get there," said Daniel who was immediately embraced by Maura.
Maura and Daniel's tight-knit hands begin to loosen before finally breaking loose.
Maura waved her hand at everyone as she walked inside the airport. Everyone returned Maura's hand.

Two months have passed since Maura's departure. There is good news, from Maura. The work that originally ended in four months would be completed a month sooner.
The two families immediately moved quickly to prepare for the wedding of Maura and Daniel.
Be happy? That's palpable.
Daniel had not expected himself to finally give up on Maura. At first Daniel only wanted to vaporize Flora through Maura.
Until in the end he had to completely forget about Flora because of Flora's status and himself is the brother and sister.
Daniel was standing by the window of his room. He was looking at the picture of Maura with him.
His wait for more than a year is coming to an end. He wiped the beautiful face of Maura that was clearly drawn on the screen of his phone. His smile expanded when he saw Maura's smile.
Suddenly Daniel clucked when there was a message notification coming into his phone that clearly disturbed him. However, the annoyance was gone when he knew Maura was the one who accompanied the message.
Daniel can't wait to see the messages that go into his app.
"Maura sent a photo?" Daniel clicked on the photo Maura sent to open it.
After waiting for a moment the picture Maura sent opened. It was clearly visible on her phone screen the image that Maura sent, a pregnancy test kit that showed two red lines.
I pregnant.
Daniel's heart trembled, there was a vibration within him that Daniel himself did not know what the feeling was while reading the message from Maura.
"I'm going to be a father" Daniel muttered.
It's done Daniel and Maura.
