PLEASE, LOVE ME, WIDOW

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-TWO

“Master, we'd better get out of the way and hide before their team gets here.  Because from the information I get, they have deployed a team to track the whereabouts of us” Don said again.

Daniel took a heavy breath, he turned around and looked at the face of Qiandra who just happened to be turning towards him.  The woman's pale face looked so miserable and made Daniel's heart again sliced and painful.

“Go all of you, Don, empty the island and leave us here” Daniel said in a weak voice giving orders to the head of the bodyguard.

“But, Mr....” exclaimed Don who was surprised to hear Daniel ask him to leave the man alone together with Qiandra on the island.

“Go, Don, bring all the waiters, don't let them get involved with this matter. Let me alone account for everything.  I don't want you all dragged into this issue” said Daniel still in a weak voice.

“Master, ...” Don again wants to protest.

“Go, Don ...” exclaimed Daniel again and then cut off his conversation with the head of his bodyguard.  Don repeatedly tries to get back in touch, but is ignored by Daniel.  Not long after, Daniel heard the door of his room being knocked on while Daniel was still trying to calm the rumble in his heart.

Daniel knew that it must be Don, but he could not ignore it because he did not want Qiandra to wake up.  Daniel immediately stepped closer to the door and opened the door.  Daniel was stunned as he stood at the door, and Daniel could not have expected to see Don and some of his bodyguards standing before him.

“Don, what are you doing” exclaimed Daniel a little annoyed.

“I'm sorry Sir, I have evacuated all the maids to a safe place, they immediately I give severance and can return to their families.  But the bodyguards no one wants to leave you, Sir, we will remain with you until the last blood point of”, said Don.

Daniel sighed in disbelief at the loyalty of his men.  “Don, I don't plan to fight them at all, I just want to end all this.  So, go, I don't want you guys to come crouching with me in jail” Daniel said.

“They may take the Miss, but we will not let them seize you, Tuan” said Don, “We will not hand you over just like that, Tuan” he continued.

“Don, think of your family, if you stay here, you will definitely be arrested and will go to jail, so leave, while there is a chance” said Daniel still trying to give understanding to Don.

“Since the beginning we have promised to be loyal to you, Sir, let alone go to jail, even lives will we leave to you” said Don again without trepidation.

Daniel sighed heavily, “Alright, now stand up all of you” he said.  As all the bodyguards stood up, Daniel stared at them one by one.  “Now I, Daniel the Son of Mahardika, deliver all of you from your vows and promises to our clan.  All that you have received and given to the clan, I consider to be breakeven, so that there are no more debts and debts between us.  So, now that you can go wherever you want, you no longer have any responsibility to the clan.  So, now you can go” Daniel said firmly.

Although there is a side of the heart Daniel is not willing to release his best bodyguard, but he also does not want to be selfish.  He had already felt very proud of all their loyalty during being together with himself and taking care of himself.  That is why Daniel decided to release them from all their oaths to the mafia clan he led, in the hope that they would leave the place soon.

However, Daniel's guess missed.  The bodyguards remained unmoved from their place just like their chairman.  “Thank you for setting us free, Tuan” Don said.  Then he turned to face his men, “You have heard what Mr. Daniel said, so if anyone wants to retreat, please retreat now and immediately follow the evacuation team” he told his men.

However, just like Don, none of them would budge.  And arriving without being given a cue they all gathered with one knee touching the floor.  “We won't go” exclamation them in unison.

Don who saw the attitude of his men immediately turned around and joined in front of Daniel.  “I'm sorry we didn't follow orders, you, Sir, because as you said earlier, now we're free and we can go wherever we want.  And now we want to stay with you, whether you allow it or not” Don said as he looked at Daniel's face.

Daniel sighed heavily, really he did not want to involve his men in this matter.  But, Daniel also knew that his bodyguards would also definitely not want to give up and leave him.  “Alright, if that is what you want, now prepare yourself.  Please hold those who follow Dean here, and let Dean himself come upstairs and see me.  And I'm asking you to face them with your bare hands, don't use any weapons.  I don't want any casualties that will make our problems multiply” said Daniel finally resigned.

“Good, Sir, we will carry out according to your orders” say all bodyguards are in unison.  After that, all

bodyguard Daniel left the man, after they had previously bowed in salute to Daniel.

Daniel only gave a small nod in response to his bodyguards, then he took a few breaths before finally returning to the room where Qiandra was still lying down.  Daniel again stepped closer to the bed where Qiandra was lying.  His forehead creased slightly as he saw the woman still lying in the same position.

Daniel grabbed the Qiandra hand hidden under the blanket, the warmth in the hand immediately spread and gave a warm feeling in the hatri of a Daniel Putra Mahardika.  Slowly frowned the fingers of the woman who still closed her eyes tightly.  “In a moment, Qi, soon I will lose you.  Somehow I will live my day without hope again.  I prefer it when you hide away from me, so that I can still hold hope in my heart that one day I can meet you and make you mine.  But now, huh, I really should let you live with him” whispered Daniel gently.

Daniel didn't care if Qiandra would hear or not what she said.  To him, he really wanted to reveal his heart back then to this woman.  Daniel knew he wouldn't have another chance.  Because Daniel could already predict what would happen when Dean came and took Qiandra.

No, not that Daniel was unable to deal with a Dean Walt Zacharias, let alone that it was in his realm.  Daniel is perfectly capable of doing so, let alone seeing the loyalty of the trained bodyguards still on the island.  Daniel knew he could beat Dean, as well as the troops he was carrying.

However, Daniel could not see the suffering face of the woman before him if he were to hold her back and separate her from her husband.  Daniel feels unable to continue to make the woman suffer, “I will do what I have to do, Qiandra, I will open up everything that happened in the past.  Hopefully after that you will still forgive me and not hate me, I do not expect you will love me, but at least you do not hate me, you and also.

“I know the risks I'm going to bear, Qiandra, I might end up in jail for the rest of my life.  But if it can make you forgive me, then I will accept it, I am ready to account for all my past mistakes against you, Qiandra.  May you forgive this selfishness of my love, such great love for you, that I alone can no longer control my heart and my mind.

The sorrow of the only son of the Mahardika family, looks so sad.  The handsome male tears flowed down his cheeks without him noticing.  His eyes continued to stare wistfully at the face of the woman who still faithfully closed the eyes, “I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Qandraku, I'm sorry I love you too much, I'm sorry that has made you suffer so much for my love.  Hopefully in the life to come we can unite” isak Daniel so drowned in his heart wound.

Meanwhile in Dean's helicopter, Vian's assistant and Albert's doctor are still immersed in each other's thoughts and tensions.  Until they arrived they heard reports from several helicopters that preceded them.  “Master, doctor Mira was not found, it looks like they have brought him” reports from Vian's assistant's men.

“Find the doctor until you can, then immediately evacuate him” Dean's orders directly to the men who reported earlier.

“Ba well Tuan” said that voice that sounded quite surprised when he heard not the voice of assistant Vian who answered him but directly the voice of the big boss.

“How about the team heading to the three islands, is there still no development to date” asked Dean to Vian's assistant.

“Access with them disconnected, Sir, we really can't contact them.  Most likely the area they came to was really locked signal, so they could not contact outsiders and we could not contact them” said assistant Vian.

“Ya already, we just follow each island.  If the way of communication can not pass the advanced communication tools, I am sure they can give the code if we pass one of the suspected islands” said Dean.

Indeed, there is no other choice, assistant Vian also admitted that the people of Daniel indeed master the technology is quite qualified.  So a caliber of assistant Vian alone must think first if you want to try to menememus their defense.  Because if you try to penetrate without a mature defense then instead of succeeding, even the data itself will be attacked by them.  And Vian's assistant just experienced it, which made his heart catch a beat.

Fortunately Vian's assistant has an IT team that is also quite reliable, so with the help and backup of his team, Vian's assistant managed to secure their data base from the virus attack sent by Daniel.  Therefore, Vian's assistant did not dare to suggest to re-penetrate Daniel's defense to just open the path of communication.  Because Vian's assistant couldn't intervene directly, if Daniel's system was back on the counterattack.

Dean is also aware of the condition, he has seen how panicked Vian's assistant saved the company's data as well as Zacharias' royal data earlier.  So, he also did not order them to hack Daniel's system again.  Dean prefers to search directly, without being supported by any communication tools.

Well, even if it means they take longer, Dean doesn't care.  He will not waste the opportunity when there is a very clear clue about the whereabouts of his wife.  After days he really did not know where Daniel took Qiandra, and now when there is a bright spot, then Dean will not rush.

Dean tried to remain calm, although in fact his heart was very worried about the state of Qiandra.  But a little bit of Dika's words were able to make the man behave more calmly.  Dean was trying to believe that Daniel wouldn't hurt Qiandra like Dika told him a few days ago.

Dean also tried to understand Daniel's current position, although it was very difficult.  His anger at the man was enormous, especially when he heard the possibility of Qiandra being pregnant.  “I hope nothing bad happens to Qiandra and my son, because until something unwanted happens then I will not let you live, Daniel” sis Dean.

Not long after the pilot gave them the code and pointed it down.  Dean frowned, wondering why the pilot wasn't talking.  However, Dean only understood when Vian's assistant gave a code that their communication access was blocked as well.  Dean finally understood, and looked in the direction the pilot had pointed to them.

Dean could see down there, two helicopters had landed on the beach and he also saw a big zero sign written on the sand of the beach.  Dean looked towards Vian's assistant who was immediately answered by Vian's assistant with a headband.  Dean understood it meant that Qiandra was not on the island, so he gave the pilot a code to continue the search for the next island.

Fifteen minutes later they arrived on the second island, and the pilot again gave the code.  And when they looked down they all knew that there was no villa on the island that could be the hiding place of Qiandra.  Although Daniel could see the settlement on the island, he believed his men had combed the island so that they could give a code that the island was safe.
