Daniel takes Qiandra to the dining room in the villa, after which Qiandra is satisfied to enjoy all her pictures in the past. Photo taken by Daniel when Qiandra along with the man. And all of those photos were really taken without Qiandra's knowledge. Even Qiandra forgot when and in what event some of the photos were taken.
However, Daniel really remembers every moment of their togetherness. Daniel could explain each photo in detail, even the unique events that occurred at that time he also explained to Qiandra. Therefore, Qiandra could recall everything that had happened when each photo was taken.
Reminiscing the past through neatly arranged sheet after sheet of photos on top of that fancy buffet, makes both seem to go back to the past. The time when both are right is always racing with time to complete a lot of business work. Sometimes both of them laughed when remembering the funny incident when they were together.
Like a photo taken where Qiandra looks very beautiful with a white dress and white hat and sunglasses decorate her beautiful face. Qiandra thought about when the photo was taken, when she turned to Daniel, and the man laughed.
“You forgot this where, Qi, did you forget the director of the company whose fake hair was released when hit by the sea breeze” asked Daniel still with the rest of his laughter.
“Oh, my God, of course I remember once, how the father came and offered me a glass of juice. However, I had not had time to take the glass, he had already thrown it because he tried to save his hair” Qiandra said followed by the laughter of the two.
“Yes, fortunately only his hair was thrown from his head, if only he still tried to tease you, then at that time not only his hair would be thrown, but my whole body will be thrown into the sea” kekeh Daniel.
“Ish, there is only you, Dan, but pity that father, since that incident even until we go home he really never again appeared before me” said Qiandra.
“Of course he won't show up again, other than embarrassment, I've also warned him not to try teasing yourself.
“Jeez, you really did that, Daniel” asked Qiandra in disbelief with Daniel's answer.
“Well, I always go to every guy who tries to tease you, Qi, if you don't believe you can remember. No man has ever teased you coming back to try to tease you, only once can they do that. After that they will never dare again” said Daniel.
“Yeah gosh it deserves never to come back to me, and well I remember if I asked someone for a drink, never that person came back to me. At most only the waiter or you yourself came to bring my order. Haish, when I was insecure at the time, I thought they were ashamed to be friends with me because I was a widow” Qiandra complained.
Well, at first, Qiandra had felt inferior because every man who tried to approach her would never come back to her again. They just stay away from him and like scared of him. It made Qiandra think all the men were avoiding her because they had just learned of her status as a widow.
“Hah, it is precisely your status as a widow that makes me hassles dispelling your fans, Qi. They were like ants who had just discovered sugar when they found out that my secretary was a widow. And therefore you are the only secretary who must always sit next to his boss in every office event. Because you are a little bit away from me, then the men have started to arrange a queue to approach you” said Daniel.
“Ish, where there is up to it, who am I, not celebrities, not officials, only a poor widow trying to scavenge the fortune to support my family-in-law” said Qiandra with a beautiful smile on her face while remembering her struggle first.
“You have long been a celebrity and a prima donna, if not Daniel Son of Mahardika gets in the way. All the news about you I'm upset, I don't want more people to know you. Because facing coworkers alone is enough to trouble me” said Daniel.
“Times to the extent, Daniel” Qiandra still feel doubtful with the word Daniel said.
“I always take care and protect you from all the exposure of good or bad news, Qi, I do not want anyone to hurt you, you permataku, my most beautiful treasure” said Daniel. Both of his palms cupped Qiandra's cheeks and locked the woman's eye bead with her blue eyes.
“Daniel ...” hiss Qiandra who was surprised by the treatment of the man.
“Yes, Qi, you are very precious to me, and I have never allowed yourself to be approached let alone touched by those men. I have always and will always protect you, Qi, with or without you knowing. I will do it, then, now even until anytime, as long as I still breathe” said Daniel.
Qiandra did not know what else to say, earnestness and sincerity emanated clearly in the blue eyes that were looking at her with those loving gazes. Qiandra did not know if she should be happy getting such a big and sincere love, or even she should cry for not being able to repay Daniel.
Even as Daniel was peeping his forehead very gently, the Qiandra still had not reacted. The rumbling in his chest was so turbulent, no, not love but guilt for not being able to do anything to repay Daniel.
“Daniel, ...” hisses Qiandra, but his words came to a halt as Daniel's index finger touched his lips slowly.
“I beg you not to say rejection again, Qi, I already know you will still reject me. So, you don't have to say it anymore, hmmm” said Daniel gently, making Qiandra completely lost her word.
Daniel's hands came down from Qiandra's face and gently clasped the woman's hands together. “Do you still want to see all these photos, Qi, or you want to eat first, this is enough night” Daniel told Qiandra.
“Ehmmm, well, I think we should just eat first, maybe next time I can see this photo again. But thank you very much, Daniel, for you have immortalized all the moments that even I myself do not remember” Qiandra said.
“No, Qi, I thank you for not being angry. Honestly, I had thought that you would be angry because I took so many photos without your permission” said Daniel. He finally pulled over but his hand still held onto one of Qiandra's and led the woman towards the dining room.
Upon entering the dining room, Qiandra was again fascinated by the beauty of the luxurious dining room. Even though in his heart he had actually guessed what the shape of the dining room was. Qiandra sure the dining room was also made according to his wishes and that was how it was. But still Qiandra was fascinated because everything she saw was much more luxurious and more beautiful than what she saw in the magazine.
“Please sit down, Qi” Daniel said as he pulled out one seat for the woman.
“Thank you” Qiandra said politely, well she has indeed been used to being treated like this by Daniel every time they eat together first.
Daniel then sat next to Qiandra, “Please enjoy, Qi, special food for special women” said Daniel invited Qiandra to eat after all the dishes were served on the dining table.
“Jeez, Daniel, you really want to ruin my body by always serving my favorite food like this” kekeh Qiandra when looking at all the available menus on the dining table.
Daniel smiled when he saw the woman's crisp laughter, he felt very happy when he saw that Qiandra could laugh freely like that. “Seeing you laugh alone makes me very happy, Qi” Daniel said.
“Haish, no, Daniel, don't keep fighting, you want all this food to go waste because I don't eat because I'm a baper on your sheep” said Qiandra trying to divert the man's conversation.
“This is not a fight but a reality, Qi, but well, it is better now we just eat first” said Daniel.
Qiandra tried to ignore Daniel's words, although in fact all the words of the man really made Qiandra misbehaved. Whichever woman can stand it is always given the word sweet, let alone give it is a man like Daniel Putra Mahardika.
However, as a married woman, Qiandra was still able to control her feelings. She did not allow her heart to be swept away by all the sweet and adoring words spoken by men other than her husband.
The two ended up enjoying dinner in silence, however, Qiandra had to properly restrain herself over Daniel's attitude. Because several times the man cleaned the leftovers that sometimes exist in the corner of the lips Qiandra. Qiandra did not even have time to reject him, because Daniel's movements were so fast, that even she herself was unaware of it.
“Daniel ...” delicates Qiandra's eyes glancing at Daniel in annoyance.
“Haish, do not put your eyes and face like that, Qi, you actually look more beautiful, hmmm” instead of caring about Qiandra's annoyance, Daniel actually seduces the woman.
“Ish, don't keep teasing me, Daniel” exclaimed Qiandra in annoyance.
“Hey, I'm not teasing you, I'm just telling you the truth, if I say otherwise, then I'm lying to you. “Alright, alright, I'll just shut up, please continue eating you, Qi” he continued to relent when he saw Qiandra would put down her spoon and fork.
“Ish, you really made my appetite disappear, Daniel” grunts Qiandra, while putting down his spoon and fork.
“Gosh, Qi, please don't be so angry, I'm sorry, let's keep eating you, or need me to bribe” asked Daniel, he reflexively grabbed Qiandra's fingers and grasped her gently. Blue eyes full of supplication, should be able to melt the resentment of any woman's heart.
“Ah, no, I'm enough, I'm full” Qiandra said as she removed the sarbet from her lap and stood up.
“At least drink first, Qi, this, drink this juice, it will be great to restore your energy” said Daniel while offering a glass of mango juice to Qiandra.
Qiandra was actually no longer willing to accept anything from the man. However, his heart finally melted as he saw Daniel thrust the drink before him.
“I'm sorry, Qi” sis Daniel while still holding out that glass of juice to Qiandra.
“Alright” Qiandra said at last, then she sat back down and picked up the glass that Qiandra had thrust. Qiandra started drinking the juice slowly, “Haish, why do I always not have the heart to refuse all her treatment. Hah, it turns out that being a non-believer is hard, how can I refuse his treatment, he is so...., ah” Qiandra hissed in his heart.
“Thank you, Qi, thank you” Daniel said grudgingly.
“Already, don't think about it anymore, thanks for dinner, also the drink” said Qiandra she took the sarbet and cleaned her mouth. When Qiandra was about to stand up, it turned out that Daniel had already stood behind her and pulled the woman's seat when she had stood up.
Qiandra again sighed, for some reason Daniel had always been so deft in terms of serving Qiandra. Qiandra didn't even have time to think but Daniel had already done everything for Qiandra.
“Daniel, can you not continuously treat me like this” sigh Qiandra.
“Hmmm, why, Qi, do you feel uncomfortable” asked Daniel with a face of wonder.
“Very, Daniel, you make me feel, .... ah I don't know” hiss Qiandra.
“What feeling, Qi, say it clearly, you feel what when I do all that to you” asked Daniel again.
“Daniel, you continue to serve me, do everything for me, do you not feel insulted to keep doing all this. You ...” Qiandra didn't know she had to say anything more.
“Qi, I would not be insulted to do anything if it was for you, for me to do everything and serve you is my own happiness and pride. You are my queen, you are my queen, whatever I will do as long as you are happy” said Daniel.
“But, Daniel, ....” Qiandra tried to protest Daniel.
“Already, Qi, let me continue to do all this, let me continue to serve you, continue to give your best. As long as you are with me, Qi, please don't reject everything I do for you, I am really sincere in doing it, Qi” said Daniel with a sad face.
Daniel stood behind Qiandra, the male breath felt at the top of Qiandra's head. Daniel did not touch Qiandra but that closeness really made Daniel die to hold the passion in him. The scent of Qiandra's body was inhaled by the man with a deep breath and let it fill his chest cavity.
“Hah, Qiandra, can't all this keep me enjoying. Can't you really always stay and be by my side. Can't you forget everything out there, like me, I'm ready to let go of everything that's out there to live with you. We leave everything behind, and we start a new one, Qi, can't it be like that” sis Daniel gently in Qiandra's ears.
