PLEASE, LOVE ME, WIDOW

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN

"For direct corporate affairs I will not associate it with Mahardika, but Daniel's problem I hope you will not intervene either, from the arrest to the legal process later" dean said in a cold voice.

Dika breathed a heavy sigh, "Master, the company PT.Mahardika has indeed decided not to interfere in Daniel's legal process, but as a family of Daniel, I can not let go of it. Please forgive me, Mr. Dean, but I think you can also understand my position, at a time when the only person Daniel can hope for right now is just me" Dika said.

Dean stared at Dika intently, "Didn't you say that you would protect my wife, then why are you trying to save the people who have harmed my wife, even repeatedly" he said in a cold voice.

"Huh, you're right, Mr. Dean, I do indeed want to protect Madam Qiandra. But it's impossible for me not to help my own brother either, right?. Although I know that what Daniel did was rightly wrong, but all of it was done by Daniel because of his great love. I think you will also understand how to have that feeling, Mr Dean" said Dika with a slight review of a very thin smile.

Dika will not forget the struggle of a Dean to find out the whereabouts of Qiandra. Dean and Daniel rivalry is common to the wider community, but the reason for the competition, only the closest people know it. And a little bit of Dika hopes, Dean will understand how Daniel is feeling at the moment.

"What do you mean Dean's hiss, Don't expect me to accept that attitude, because no matter how much he loves Qiandra, he must be able to accept that she is no longer a single woman, Qiandra is already my wife, and that should be acceptable to her with a lofty chest" Dean's circus again said.

"What if you were in the position of Daniel, Mr. Dean, what attitude would you take, what you could willingly let go of the woman you love so much" Dika asked in a low tone. "Sometimes we need to put ourselves in the shoes of others, so that we can see different points of view. Because if we only look from our point of view then everything will only be right and wrong according to our own perception. Though our assessment of a problem is not necessarily the same as the assessment of others" said Dika a little wise.

After saying the word, the man who had only served a day as president stood up. "Whatever your decision, Mr. Dean, I'm sure you're wise enough to consider everything. Don't forget, Daniel once lost a woman he loved so much who turned to you, and at that time, Daniel relented. But for now, for the case of Mrs Qiandra, the conditions are definitely much different, although there is still the same reason in every attitude carried out by Daniel" said Dika.

"If there is nothing else to ask me, I say goodbye first, Mr Dean" Dika continued, extending his hand to Dean. Dean who was pensive to hear the words of the man, gasped in surprise then immediately stood up and received a helping hand from Dika.

"Well, thank you for your time, Mr. Dika, and thank you for all the information you've provided" Dean said. "And for the company, I will not confuse personal matters with corporate matters, I will not confuse, but I also cannot prevent the other party if it has different thoughts in assessing the problems that are happening to the former president of PT. Mahardika" he continued in a firm tone.

“Not a big deal, Mr. Dean, and thank you for your discretion in addressing this issue. I'm very appreciative of your decision not to mix up personal matters and company matters and I pray that you soon discover the bright spot of Mrs Qiandra's whereabouts. One thing you need to remember, Daniel will not hurt much less hurt Mrs Qiandra, and she will not repeat the mistakes that have passed" said Dika.

Dika lowered her head slightly at Dean as a form of mutual respect which Dean greeted with a nod of his head as well. After that the young man immediately stepped away leaving Dean who returned dumbstruck. Several times Dean breathed heavily, his two fingers linked before his face.

"Vian, do you believe in all the man's words" Dean sighed after Vian's assistant escorted Dika and the door was closed.

"I'm sorry Sir, but I don't think there's any reason Mr. Dika to lie" Vian's assistant said confidently.

"Why do you think so, Vian" asked Dean again.

“I just deduce from everything that Mr. Dika said. Mr. Dika even still firmly said that he would still defend or help his former boss, when he could have said that he would not help him just to please you. After all, he could do it quietly, but the proof was that he still said the opposite. That he will still help Daniel as his adopted brother" said assistant Vian trying to give his opinion.

"Hmmm, you're right Vian, he's honest about it. But I still couldn't understand why he was so anxious to protect Qiqi, when there was nothing to do between the two of them other than as a co-worker. Then why is he so eager to protect Qiqi, even he is willing to betray Daniel just to protect my wife" sighed Dean with confusion still clearly visible on his face.

"For that matter, I apologize, sir, for I cannot understand myself, I don't know, but if there is no feeling what is between the two, there is a possibility of that because ......" assistant Vian hesitated to continue saying.

"For what, Vian, just say it" Dean sighed again.

"I'm sorry, sir, but this is just a thought that has yet to be proven at all" replied assistant Vian still hesitant to say what was on his mind.

"Tell me" said Dean.

"There is a possibility that it is because of a blood relationship that is not even realized by the two" said Vian's assistant in a slow voice.

Dean gasped at Vian's assistant, "How could you think that, Vian, you know that the two have been together for so long, how could they not know that they have a blood relationship" exclaimed Dean who was quite surprised by the thought of assistant Vian.

"I'm sorry, sir, again this is just a guess, Young Madam is a woman who grew up in an orphanage, and no one knows her origin, while Mr. Dika is only an adopted brother of Daniel, and until now no one knows the origin of Mr. Dika. He doesn't even have a last name as his real identity. Many suspect that he is an unwanted child, therefore he does not pin the family name behind his name. But Mr. Dika also never wanted to use the name Mahardika, even though from what I heard Mr. Putra Mahardika had repeatedly offered it to him" Vian's assistant tried to give a reasonable explanation to Dean.

"Then why would he not want to use the name Mahardika" asked Dean who was quite curious.

"That is still a question mark for the public today, even when Mr. Dika officially became president of PT.Mahardika, he still does not use the name Mahardika" said assistant Vian.

"I'm sorry, sir, other than the reason both have the same unclear origin, also because of this, please kindly pay attention to the faces of Mr. Dika and Young Madam" said Vian's assistant while turning on the large monitor screen in front of Dean.

Vian's assistant tapped on the keyboard in his hand and soon saw the faces of Qiandra and Dika in two different frames but aligned. When he noticed that, Dean was really surprised, really,

"Gosh, when compared like this, the facial lines of both of them are really similar. Even the smiles of the two were almost the same" Dean exclaimed as he looked at the same face of Qiandra and Dika smiling.

"True, sir, and when analyzing the similarity of the faces of the two then the results reached ninety percent, which means they are both really similar only in the male and female versions. It's just that this is not too visible because Mr. Dika who always appears with a cold and stiff face, while Young Madam always appears with a cheerful and smiling face. So, if only at a glance, then people will not realize it" said assistant Vian explained why so far no one has compared the faces of the two.

"So, if they have a familial relationship, and all this time they both work together at PT.Mahardika, don't tell me you suspect Qiqi conspired with Dika to overthrow Daniel" dean shouted loudly at Vian's assistant, making the man surprised instead of playing.

"No, that was absolutely nothing in my mind, Master, after what Young Madam had lived during her time working in that company, including the trap designed by Mr. Dika himself. It was impossible if the two of them worked together, the greatest possibility was that they did not know the relationship between the two. It's just that there's a saying that blood is thicker than water, so even if they don't know each other as family, but the bond between the two makes Mr. Dika always want to protect Young Madam" assistant Vian explained his thoughts at length.

"To make sense, we will investigate this further later when the Qiandra has been found" Dean said more calmly. "Then how the search for Qiqi continues" he asked Vian's assistant again.

"Until now there has been no significant development, Sir, the authorities are still trying to put pressure on Mr. Aldo and Mr. Ronaldo Ballini. But they kept their mouths shut, apparently they really had a pretty strong agreement with Daniel" said Vian's assistant.

"Hmmm, if so, immediately investigate the lives of the two, look for their weak points that could be a gap for us to suppress them. I'm sure there's something behind their agreement that they're so firm in their stance that they're even against the law enforcement" Dean said.

"Well, sir" said Vian's assistant who immediately gave orders to his men.

"Vian, I want to go to the hospital first to see Daddy" Dean said as he stood up and stepped towards the door of the room.

"Well, sir" said Vian's assistant immediately following Dean's steps.

"You stay here, keep track of everything, and make sure no information is left unturned" Dean said, stopping Vian's assistant.

"But, Mr. ..." said Vian's assistant who wanted to protest, feeling that things could be kept under his watch even if he stayed with Dean. However, his words were interrupted as Dean raised his hand and turned around while patting him firmly on the shoulder.

"Stay here, and if it's possible to rest, I don't want you to get sick either, you know you two are the people I'm most looking forward to for her support and help right now" dean said in a low voice.

"It's our obligation Albert, sir, there's no need for you to doubt" said Vian's assistant.

"Huh, Vian, this is an order, you should take some time to rest, or I should send you somewhere else so you can rest" exclaimed Dean who was lazy to talk at length to persuade the assistant and his best friend to want to rest.

"Well, sir, I will carry out your orders" said assistant Vian who immediately understood that Dean was not wanting to be denied by him.

"Hmmmm, ..." said Dean in response to Vian's assistant, at least Dean was relieved because his best friend did not continue to refute his words. Although Dean knew that Vian's assistant was worried about him, but he also could not ignore the assistant's condition which looked very random and lack of rest.

Dean immediately turned around and stepped out of the magnificent building. Meanwhile, Vian's assistant immediately ordered some of the best bodyguards to guard the Young Master. Because actually Vian's assistant is very worried about Dean's safety who is currently the ruler of the Zacharias royal family.

Vian's assistant realized that Dean didn't care about it at all. However, as a person who deeply understands the ins and outs of the Zacharias family, Vian's assistant knows very well that there are many people who want to harm Dean at this time. Moreover, the condition of Daddy Walt is still bad, so it automatically makes Dean as the holder of the power of the Zacharias Family.

"Huh, may everything be fine" urged assistant Vian staring at the departure of Dean who had disappeared behind the door. Then Vian's assistant immediately stepped back towards the information control room, where he saw Rio who was still busy tinkering at the keyboard in front of him.

"Is there any latest info" Vian's assistant asked Rio.

"Not yet, sir, our team is still trying to hack the data base of Aldo and Ronaldo Ballini. But it turns out both have a security system that is strong enough that we are still trying to hack it until now" said Rio.

Well, just continue, I'll take a break, don't hesitate to wake me up if there's any news" said assistant Vian who Rio answered with a nod of his head.
