PLEASE, LOVE ME, WIDOW

TWENTY

Elsewhere, Dean who had just woken up felt pain all over his body.  He tried to remember everything that had happened, and as he recalled Qiandra, his heart again felt pained.

“You were only momentarily present in my life, Qiqi, but your charm is so deeply rooted in my heart, your loss is far more painful than that betrayal.  I realize, I still have no right to anything over you, but seeing the reality of your nature like that really hurts my heart” Dean murmured.

Without realizing it, tears flowed in the corner of the handsome man's eyes.  Dean let out a heavy sigh, he closed his eyes and ruffled his hair in frustration.  Dean's bedroom door opened, and he saw his two best friends come in with food for him.

“How are you, Dean” asked Dr. Albert as he approached Dean, he fumbled at his head.  Doctor Albert realized that Dean had just cried, he could see traces of tears in the corner of the man's eyes.

“Buruk” siss Dean while closing his eyes again.

“You better clean yourself first, there are some things I want to talk to you” said Dr. Albert.

“Al, I don't want to talk about anything” said Dean weakly, he pulled the blanket and covered his head.

“Includes about Qiandra” asks doctor Albert, makes Dean immediately open his blanket.

“You mean, what” asked Dean who was surprised to hear the name of the woman he missed so much.

“Go clean yourself first, you will not be able to think clearly in circumstances like this” said Dr. Albert.

Dean immediately out of his blanket, “Review if you lie to me” he exclaimed as he stepped towards the bathroom.  After cleaning himself up, Dean immediately approached his two best friends who were preparing breakfast for the three of them.

“Say, what's wrong with Qiandra” Dean said as he joined his two best friends.

“We have breakfast first” says doctor Albert.

Dean snorted in annoyance, knowing that his best friend would not budge when it came to health issues.  Finally the three of them enjoyed the breakfast in silence.

After finishing his breakfast the next morning, Dean again asked Albert doctor, “Now say, what's wrong with Qiandra, don't buy time again” exclaimed impatiently.

“Previously, Vian and I are sorry, we were forced last night to see the contents of your phone and the video”, said Dr. Albert.

“Already, no need for pleasantries, just say the point” exclaimed Dean.

“Hmm, well, I've seen the video, and I'm watching it closely.  Based on my observations, it is likely that Miss Qiandra was framed”, said Dr. Albert confidently.

“You mean?” asked Dean with a frown.

“It is possible that Miss Qiandra was given a stimulant, and when the medicine had reacted to make her lose control of herself, then Daniel walked in as if he knew nothing.  You can think for yourself, what would Daniel bring Qiandra to that villa if not with a devious plan.  I'm sure, Daniel already knows the closeness of you and Miss Qiandra, and it makes him panic so desperate to do something like that” said doctor Albert at length.

Dean was surprised to hear Albert's explanation, “But in the video, it was clear that Daniel refused and reminded Qiandra”.

“Heh, of course he can pretend like that because he does want to send this video to you, while Qiandra, he is completely unaware of what he is doing, he said, everything is out of his control” said Dr. Albert.

Dean looked back and thought for a few seconds, until suddenly he stood up and immediately ran out of his room, “Quick, we have to go to mansion” he exclaimed to his two best friends.

Doctor Albert and Assistant Vian immediately rushed after Dean who was out of the luxury apartment.  Fortunately, they had to hold the elevator that would take them down to the basement.  “Let me take the car” exclaimed assistant Vian, while getting into Dean's luxury car.

The car immediately shot up quickly leaving the luxury apartment, doctor Aklbert opened their conversation, “Actually what's up Dean, why do you look so panicked” he asked Dean.

“I was too emotional last night, so I sent a message even a voice recording with harsh words and berated Qiandra, I completely out of control” Dean said honestly to his two best friends.  The three of them are always open about everything, so their friendship is even more than a brotherly bond.

“Jeez, this is going to be hard, Dean” exclaimed doctor Albert.

“If my guess is correct, Miss Qiandra was framed by Daniel, then she would be devastated when she realized everything, well, even though she did not lose her honor like a girl, she said, but for a woman who so upholds an honor, this incident must be a heavy blow to her.  And at such a time, a woman must be expecting a place to lean” said doctor Albert, then he breathed heavily.

“And when he wanted to lean on me, I instead....” Dean closed his eyes while scrambling his hair in frustration, “Kur*ng aj*r you Daniel, until your heart does this to a respectable woman like Qiandra.  And, gosh why am I so stupid and so easy to believe in the video jaha*am it” sarcasm again with great regret.

“But, did he open your message it” asked assistant Vian to make Dean immediately reach for his phone.  And when he opened it, he again bowed in lethargy, because it turned out that not only had his message been read by Qiandra, it was even replied to by a thank you.

Doctor Albert, who saw the message, could only shake his head, “Haish, it won't be easy, Dean, I'm not sure Miss Qiandra is still in your mansion now”.

Dean could only close his eyes, inwardly he continued to pray, hoping to still have a chance to meet Qiandra.  However, Dean admitted that what Albert said was true.

Dean again grabbed his phone and tried to contact Qiandra, but Qiandra's number was always inactive.  Dean did not despair, he sent dozens of messages of apology and his desire to meet with Qiandra.  However, all of those messages were not opened by Qiandra at all.

When the luxury car arrived at Dean's mansion by the beach, Dean immediately jumped out and ran towards the main room where Qiandra was.  In that room, Dean found nothing, absolutely no trace of the Qiandra.

Dean ran back downstairs, looking for Bik Sum and Mang Ijal, but he again did not find the two men.  Just then, the gatekeeper of the mansion came inside and handed a package to Dean.

“What is this” asked Dean.

“Neither, Sir but his address is addressed to you” said the guard.

“Hei, where Bik Sum and Mang Ijal” asked Dean to the guard,

“I only saw the three of them come out last night, Sir, shortly after Miss Qiandra was ushered in by a luxury car.  The three of them left in a taxi, when the night was very late, and they only brought a file bag.” said the guard told him about the situation last night.

“What they didn't say anything” asked Dean again.

“No, Sir, but it looks like Miss Qiandra is in serious trouble” said the guard again.

“What do you mean” this time doctor Albert asked.

“When I got off the luxury car that drove her, I saw Miss Qiandra walking like a robot, Miss Qiandra didn't even care about me and Mang Ijal who was sitting at the guard post.  Mang Ijal who saw that, immediately met Bik Sum, after which Mang Ijal re-joined me at the guard post.  Not long after, Bik Sum came and told Mang Ijal to look for a taxi, and just came, the taxi, Miss Qiandra came out and went straight into the taxi followed by Bik Sum and Mang Ijal” the guard explained at length.

Dean who heard the guard's explanation, immediately sat down limply, it turned out that all of Albert's allegations were true.  Qiandra stays home to the mansion in hopes of leaning back and sharing with Dean.  But unfortunately, what Qiandra got was precisely the insults and mockery of Dean.

However, as soon as possible, Dean immediately stood up, “I will look for Qiandra in his office”.

Assistant Vian ran after Dean and held back his steps, “Don't do that, Dean, you'll make things worse.  Did you forget, Qiandra worked for the man who trapped her, I don't think that man will let go of Qiandra, he will definitely continue to persuade Qiandra to forgive him”.

“Vian's right, Dean, if you go there, you'll definitely meet Daniel, and I'm not sure you two can control your emotions.  And if there is a commotion, not only will the two of you bear the impact, but Miss Qiandra who will be most blasphemed” doctor Albert justifies the opinion of assistant Vian.

“So, do I have to keep quiet” Dean's circus.

“Take it easy, Dean, we're trying to find a way to see Miss Qiandra, but not in her office” said Dr. Albert, he led Dean back into the mansion.

“I will order some people to observe PT. Mahardika and keep an eye on Miss Qiandra, Tuan” said Vian's assistant.

“Hmmm, alright, I wait for your report, Vian” sighs Dean in a weak voice.  Then Dean grabbed the package that had been delivered by the gatekeeper of his mansion.  And how surprised Dean when he saw the contents of the package turned out to be a dress worn by Qiandra yesterday, even complete with underwear, all of which were provided by Dean.

Dean hugged the dress, “May you still forgive me, Qi” sighed Dean with regret.  Vian's assistant and Albert's doctor could only stare at each other and shake their shoulders.
