PLEASE, LOVE ME, WIDOW

TWENTY FOUR

Three days passed and Qiandra still persisted with his busyness, he never even went home to Mang Ijal's house.  Bik Sum called Qiandra several times, asking about the woman's situation.  Qiandra always said that she was fine and everything went according to her expectations.

Qiandra did not want to make Bik Sum anxious, while Mang Ijal had already worked as a security in one of the Qiandra acquaintance companies, which was located not far from Mang Ijal's house.  So that Mang Ijal can always go home every day.

That day, as usual, at eight in the morning Qiandra was at his desk.  Although tired, Qiandra remained excited, especially if she remembered that she only needed overtime for tonight.  And tomorrow morning, he can already go home to rest at home.

Qiandra could work quietly because Daniel never bothered her again.  Daniel behaved as usual, as a superior and subordinate only.  Dean, meanwhile, could not meet Qiandra at all, as the woman had always kept quiet in her office.  Qiandra only comes out if she goes with Daniel to attend an out-of-office meeting.

Qiandra doesn't know that Dean always tries to see her when she leaves the office.  Several times Qiandra saw Dean's presence in the places where Qiandra held meetings.  However, Dean could not get close to Qiandra at all, as Qiandra would have directly entered Daniel's car, if the meeting had been completed.

And as for his return tomorrow, Qiandra had already devised a mature plan.  He knew that the two men would try to find out where he lived.  Qiandra did not want them to follow her, because it would definitely make a scene if the luxury cars came to Mang Ijal's place.

Qiandra is busy putting together a schedule of Daniel's activities for the next week, as he does every weekend.  This way, by Monday, the Qiandra was ready with all the preparations for Daniel's activities.

Suddenly someone thrusts a file at Qiandra, Qiandra lifts her head and she is surprised to see Daniel handing over a map for her.  “What is this, Tuan” asks Qiandra.

“Open up, Qian, this is all I can do, hopefully you don't reject it” Daniel said in a soft voice.

Qiandra immediately opened the map, she was aghast as she looked at the contents of the map, “Tu-Tuan, what does this mean” asked Qiandra still in a tone of disbelief.

“I only helped restore what is indeed yours, Qian” said Daniel, there was happiness in his heart when he saw the happy twinkle in Qiandra's eyes.

“True, this house is back to mine, Tuan” asked Qiandra who still did not believe that the map contained a certificate of ownership of the house given by Charles, which had been made in the name of Qiandra.

“Yes, Qian, from now on, the house is back to yours, because only you are entitled to the house.” Daniel said.

“Thank you, Tuan” Qiandra said, several times she bowed herself before Daniel.

“Hey, hey, don't be like this, Qiandra, I'm quite happy if you're happy” Daniel said sincerely.

“No, Sir, I really did not expect this house to come back to me, and I am very happy, thank you very much, Mr.” Qiandra said full day.

“Thank God, if you are happy, Qian, hopefully this can reduce your suffering” said Daniel with sadness.

Qiandra gasped at Daniel's words, she was lulled by the happiness of being able to have Charles's house back.  However, Qiandra realized, this was done by Daniel of course in the hope that Qiandra would forgive Daniel.

Qiandra put the map she held back onto the table, making Daniel frown, “If this is what you did to avenge the incident, I will willingly give it back, Sir, sir, sorry I can't take it” Qiandra said back coldly.

“No, no, Qian, this has absolutely nothing to do, I just want to restore what is rightfully yours, not because of that incident.  I beg you, Qiandra, accept it at least once, please accept my help” Daniel said in a desperate tone.

Long Qiandra was pensive, knowing Daniel would stop at nothing to force her to accept the house, until an idea sprang up in Qiandra's brain.  “Alright, Sir, I accept your help this time, after all I really need this house” said Qiandra.

Daniel smiled happily, he was very happy that Qiandra would accept the return of his house.  “Because of you, Qiandra, from this moment on I am sure, you will not be able to refuse me to come to your house, because I have been

return the house to you” Daniel sis in his heart.

“Thank God, Qiandra, I think you can soon occupy the house again” said Daniel.

“Alright, if you need help, you know I'm always ready, Qiandra” said Daniel very happily.

“Good, Tuan” sahut Qiandra, “Once again thank you very much, Tuan” said Qiandra respectfully, he again bowed his body to Daniel.

“Yes, already, Qiandra, now prepare yourself, do not we have a schedule outside noon today”, said Daniel again.

“True, sir, give me ten minutes to prepare everything” Qiandra said.

“Alright, I will wait for you” said Daniel, he sat in the chair in front of the Qiandra table, Qiandra just sighed softly in her heart, she actually did not want to get too close to Daniel anymore.

“Let's just for a little while longer, I'll leave good memories for her, just think of it as my thanks for all her support during this” Qiandra sighs in her heart.

Qiandra prepared herself quickly, she felt very uncomfortable as Daniel continued to stare at her intensely.  “I'm ready, Tuan” said Qiandra while standing with some necessary files for the meeting later.

“Alright, let's go” said Daniel, he thought Qiandra would walk by his side, but it turns out that the woman still put herself behind Daniel and Dika's assistant.

Daniel sighed for a moment, he actually wished for a change in Qiandra's attitude, after she returned the house.  However, it turned out that it was only for a moment that Qiandra acted as he wished, because now, Qiandra was keeping her distance again.

They arrive at a fancy restaurant to discuss a big project with one of Daniel's co-workers.  When the show was about to finish, Qiandra felt she had to go to the toilet, she tried to hold it back, because Qiandra had seen Dean's presence in the restaurant.

However, having been unable to resist the call of nature, Qiandra immediately decided to go to the toilet.  As Qiandra finished and exited the toilet cubicle, a burly hand grabbed her waist, suffocating Qaindra.

“Relax, Qiqi, this I” exclaimed a familiar baritone voice in Qiandra's ears.

“Dean, what are you doing, this is a woman's toilet” exclamation Qiandra who was surprised because Dean went into the ladies' toilet.

“Qi, I no longer know how to meet you, I am almost crazy to think of you, Qi” Dean said in a sad tone.  He looked at the two Qiandra eyeballs with longing.

“Dean, never mind, forget it all, didn't I say, just assume nothing ever happened between us” Qiandra said in a stern tone.

“No, no, Qi, I can't afford to think like that, I beg you to forgive all my mistakes, Qi, I'm really shiny, I'm traumatized because of my very painful past, Qi, I'm very sad, please forgive me” Dean said with all earnestness.

Qiandra looked at both eyes of Dean, she did not find any lies in the eyes of the man.  Qiandra realized that the tremors in her heart were back, Dean's mistake was unable to make her heart freeze.  Qiandra had already let the taste grow even if only for a moment.

And now, Qiandra realized that she couldn't lie to her heart, she loved Dean.  Qiandra subconsciously reached out her hand reaching for the face of the man who was able to make her heart feel peace again.  Qiandra's tears slowly fell in the corner of her eyes, there was a happy as well as a pain that simultaneously stabbed her heart.

“Qiqi, I beg you, let me start everything from scratch, let me prove my sincerity to you, please, Qi” sis Dean in Qiandra's ear gently.

Qiandra just kept quiet, she didn't know what to say.  Qiandra was unable to resist Dean's embrace, however, she also did not return the man's embrace.  Qiandra realized she desperately needed a hug capable of making her feel that peaceful, but Qiandra also realized she shouldn't expect too far.

After being lulled for a while, Qiandra finally tried to release herself from Dean's embrace.  Qiandra slowly pushed the body of the man, “I've forgiven you, Dean, for the next, let time answer what will happen between the two of us” said Qiandra ambiguous.

“What do you mean, Qi” asked Dean curiously by Qiandra's remark.

“LEPlease QIANDRA” circus a thunderous voice startling Qiandra and Dean.
