PRISONER OF LOVE LOVE THE WIDOWER

SEASON 2 Part 29. Day 20th - I Will Win You Back

Sandra POV

"Ko Derrick, did Oliver call you?" Now I wonder what they're talking about. And how Ko Derrick responded.

"Ohh, that bastard. You obviously have a problem with him, don't you, he did call me yesterday."

"I just don't like him letting me report my problems to Koko, he doesn't have the right to forbid me like that."

"Hmm, he's sorry isn't he?"

"Yes, he apologized many times. I just wanted to distance myself from him. It's better to keep my distance, I'm not used to that kind of jealousy. He reminds me of Kent, forbid this forbid it... I better be alone, keep my distance from him... I didn't know she called Koko at last."

"Maybe he didn't mean it badly. Just ... People like him are already used to the above. Have your own ego..."

Not ego, but jealousy, because he knows I like Ko Derrick. He's willing to help Ko Derrick that's good. But if he felt it would be enough to return everything to how it was. It won't be that easy for me. I thought it was just a good start for us to get to know again.

"Hey all, we've completed the perfect landscaped image. You guys want to see it. It's already come the print." There is a large print shipment of the final design of this five-star hotel. They have set up a place to put it in the office. That big picture is at once an awesome ad, only this one is clear by its name, following its blueprint number patches per each piece.

The design really goes along the coastline, one building extends eight levels down the coastline, with derivatives made with private pools, private villas, until the coastline is also made one boulevard, he said, like a dock that juts out to the beach by utilizing one of the cliff at the end of the peninsula-like beach, it seems that there will be a restaurant at the end there and behind it is a large swimming pool with apparently a building in its dome. The design looks very impressive. The work of world-class architects is seen here.

The dome building is interesting. Above it forms a dome, there is a line like the roof is divided into eight sides, has a different floor height from the floor below it. He's got a name....

'Falling Star Terrace Sky Rooftop Restaurant', made me remember one night when I saw a shooting star two months ago.

"What'sthis? Why there is a line for eight sides. " I asked a staff member while pointing to a picture of the building.

"Ohh it's the main restaurant, it's the technology that lets the roof slide open facing the sky, so the name becomes the place to see the shooting stars. That's the name of Sir Russell, um you can imagine the aperture of a camera lens moving open and close. The interior if it is done will be amazing. But it can also be used as a fully enclosed room for formal events. The lighting of the room is automatically changed, if you are opening the rooftop the light will turn into like you are candle light dinner, if the additional lights are closed above the automatic exit, the lights can go to the side following the reel above it. It's Sir Oliver's genius idea."

I looked back at the main restaurant. And the mind got back to our conversation.

"These stars are so clear, I imagine that the resort will be so beautiful here... I'll save up and stay here."

"Hmm.if so we'll make a terrace to stare at the stars for you." I laughed, that sounds good.

"Teras staring at the stars... That's a good name. Let me know when it's over."

Maybe he inspired me to overreact when I looked at a shooting star for the first time in my life. I smiled a little remembering it.

"What do you think?" Oliver was by my side.

"Impressive I was impressed. If it's so, it's gonna be great." My praise is in its place. It's an amazing job. "Later I will save here, of course. Your high pay must be wrong." I smiled at him.

"Do you realize there's a familiar name."

"You mean the Falling Star Terrace." Now I see it.

"Maybe it was you who had the request back then. Looks like the falling star fairy tale granted all your wishes is true." He made me smile at me now.

"Then I'll come back here when the hotel is. I must've saved up for it."

"Hmmm..." She just muttered hearing my answer smiling little at me. Don't say anything, and go to his own office.

There's something strange about him, he's not trying to say, sort of say 'this name was inspired by you, I made this for you, I'll bring you here later.'. I thought he was going to say something like that.

Did he give up on me. Why he called Ko Derrick to talk about us, did he change his mind because Ko Derrick immediately asked what his goal was. Whatever I told Ko Derrick wasn't good either.

Maybe he won't come to a meeting with Ko Derrick later I guess.

Yes, he's not serious, there's nothing to regret. Let's just say we didn't make it. Too many differences, and again maybe what I want and what he hunts is different.

He's not coming. He's changed his mind, I guess. Well.. Our story will end in these 30 days if so.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

It's the last day we're here, tomorrow I'm going back to Hong Kong with Derrick and one staff member, the others are still here.

So while they didn't need my help I went down to a dirt road that was still full of bushes and dirt roads, they hadn't worked on this part yet, the sound of heavy machinery could still be heard back there, but the beach is still touched in the slightest.

I've missed 20 days of the contract, 10 days I'm going back to Jakarta, and 4 days I'm asking for leave, my normal life is about to start.

My feet stepped on the stone formed in the streets that had been eroded by running water, the stone turned out to be rolling, I slumped off my balance and fell sitting down just like that. Now my hip hurts from hitting another rock. For a moment I have to sit down for a while.

"Sandra!? Why you?!" Oliver came downstairs. But he's still a little far away.

"Snuckled..." I held my hip that hit a rock on that steep road.

"Can you wake up?!" He was still behind me for a while. Trying to get to my place as soon as possible.

"could. It's okay..." It must have been a bruise afterwards. I propped up trying to support myself but then I was lifted up just like that by his hand.

"Thank you, ..." I stood up straight she turned to my side. Holding my arm was afraid I was losing my balance again.

"There's a wound, you're bumped, sprained?"

"No. The stone could roll. I've got the wrong footing."

"Yes, I'm okay to calm down."We walked to the beach then with him watching my steps.

"Why did you get here?"

"I just happened to see you walking this way, I thought you were going to the beach, after all, it's your last day in Vietnam."

"Yes tomorrow we're home, I'm gonna miss this beach."

These few days after he spoke to Ko Derrick I think he seems more restrained, I don't know why either.

I thought it was because she didn't want to continue expecting me anymore, but then she replaced it by asking if I was good, sometimes if she got food from outside she gave it to me, keep saying good night via chat, but never knock on my door again, so it feels weird. Why did he change his behavior so. It's polite, usually he likes to play hug, tease you directly. But now he doesn't even dare to touch me.

We got to the shoreline, the sun was tilted to the west, not too hot anymore. I take off my shoes, tuck my jeans, play with water, Oliver follows behind me.

"You've been a little weird lately..." I finally asked out of curiosity for her change of attitude.

"I'm weird?"

"Yes, it's not like Oliver I first found, at least until a week ago."

"At least I didn't make you hate me more. That's enough, I guess. We can talk like this without making you figure out how to avoid me, that's enough, I'm actually only starting at 0 more... Let's just say this is how I apologize." I'm silent now, so it turns out that taking this distance includes the way he approached me too.

My mind turned out wrong. He's tidal giving up.

"Why can you think of this weird way? It's not like you." Oliver laughs.

"Someone gave me another point of view. I have no way anymore. All the ways I've tried to apologize to you, but you just answered me with thanks. So I just follow his advice."

"Ohhh..." I smile to myself. Then just stand on the beach. "Then what else does he suggest besides not seducing me."

"Begging your brother's permission first." I grimaced, it felt like I knew who would suggest such a thing.

"You must be talking to Nguyen..." Now Oliver laughed.

"You can guess it turned out." Who else besides Nguyen could give him such wise advice.

"Are you going to do it? Didn't Ko Derick threaten you?"

"Yes, he threatened me of course. Who doesn't think I'm ugly anyway. Our first meeting was ugly." He's self-conscious too. I'm just grimacing.

"Maybe Ko Derrick will trouble you later."

"What's wrong. I'll try..." I smile at him now. I looked at him and he looked at me. He was willing to step back and find another way. This time it even dared to face Ko Derrick.

"I'm just gonna say good luck. Passing the test or not depends on Ko Derrick. I won't help you one bit."

"I don't have a choice, I don't seem to have passed your test. Got to ask your Big Brothers for help." I'm shackled by the chin to see it. It's funny he wants to go through all this.

"You're sure Oliver. May I know why? Why are you taking this difficult path. A lot of women are after you, willing to say yes. Why me?"

"Because my defenses don't work against you. I never thought you'd come after me on purpose because of the frills behind me. You don't want me, you never make me a target, but I want you ... Different to all women who want to pursue me with a certain purpose. Well besides the fact that maybe I'm tired of endless adventures."

I listened to his long answer while looking towards the high seas. Not wanting to be affected by anything.

Is he seriously working on this. But to prove his seriousness he had to run it himself. If Oliver doesn't pass Ko Derrick's test it means the story is over, I won't see him either, because I believe what Ko Derrick said, his assessment of Oliver, if he says Oliver's bad I won't see him again.

"If you want to go to the hotel, use the card I gave you. If you want to go back to Jakarta, you can." He suddenly spoke.

"Hmm no, my job remains 30 days minus 4, I'll make boss Philip angry if he finds out I asked to go home first, don't use your card, please, actually they gave me a 4-month salary bonus to get by with your behavior."

"Your boss gave you a 4-month bonus?!" Now Oliver's shocked. "Do they consider me such a difficult client to handle. 4 months?! You serious?"

"It seems that until the great boss Philip alone knows your reputation. You're already famous ba*ngsat all over Hong Kong." I'm not right now. He saw me enjoying laughing at him.

"Ohh Man, I don't know my reputation like a fugitive."

"It seems your fame other than the architect is Don Juan bast*ard, dimsum." He was just grimacing but didn't seem to be angry when I added a nickname to him.

The afternoon sun was setting beside us, for this time I had no problem with him beside me. At least I don't think he needs me to avoid this afternoon.

"You want to eat both pho, or you want to buy souvenirs from here to take home?"

"Ehmm.do not want to be here for a moment, soon sunset. I don't know when I can visit this place again."

"You can of course, if you want you to be able to return, the target of this hotel is completed one year until the operation. You can definitely come back next year, everything's done."

Maybe that's his way of saying that he'll bring me back here. I didn't say anything back, because maybe he won't pass Ko Derrick's test.

Ko Derrick won't give him the ease.
