S.H.E (Women I've Purchased)
#40
Lucy calls Andre after her father leaves the apartment. He invites Andre to meet him at a cafe where they often go. Lucy arrives at the destination first, she is very anxious to mix her thoughts to tell Andre. But he had no other choice. Shortly waiting for Andre to arrive at the cafe and immediately approached Lucy who was waiting for him.
"Hey... What was? Tumben you invited me to meet outside like this. Is there a problem going on?" Ask Andre curiously.
"Yes, I have a little problem right now. And I don't know who I'm supposed to tell" Lucy said.
"Well, what's troubling you to meet in the middle of the night?" ask Andre.
"I, my dad just came to my apartment. He forced Carlo to tell me the address where I live, even threatening Carlo if he did not tell me my address. Carlo called me and told me everything. By the time I got home, it was true that my father was waiting for me in the lobby." Lucy explained at length.
"So what's your plan? Didn't I already pay David to redeem you and already give a lot of money to them even to your father?" ask Andre.
"I don't understand either, but all I know is that you're thinking about him and his gambling hobbies. Tomorrow he will come home and ask for money again and again. I'm sure it'll happen the way it used to." Lucy said sadly.
"How about we report your father to the police and imprison your father. At least it will make him deterred and not dare to bother you again." proposed Andre.
"No, I can't let my dad go to jail. I'm not that nice." said Lucy.
"So, are you gonna let him blackmail you like he used to even sell you to a club' night for his hobby?" andre asked seriously.
"I... I don't know what to do either." Lucy said.
Andre silently watched the woman who was thinking hard. He could have given a lot of money to Lucy's father, but it would have been worth it. Because his father will ask again if the money is up.
"Alright, then you should avoid it for now. Don't meet him." suggested Andre.
"But he'll be mad if he doesn't find me and he'll make a fuss in the apartment I live in" Lucy said.
"Calm down, I'll take care of everything and you can stay in my apartment for a while" Andre said.
"How could I live there?" ask Lucy nervously.
"Why not? You can sleep in my room and I can sleep on the outdoor sofa or my workspace" Andre said seriously.
"But, my clothes." said Lucy cut off.
"We'll buy it later. Let's go home, it's late at night. You have to take a break to face tomorrow." said Andre trying to calm Lucy.
Lucy listens to Andre and obeys him. They return to Andre's house, but Lucy's face still shows a deep sense of anxiety.
Shortly on the way Andre and Lucy arrive at the apartment where Andre lives. Andre lets Lucy use her room to rest. Andre understood very well that Lucy was agitated by her current problem.
"I'll make sure you're safe, I promise you ok. So don't worry about it I'll solve it and you live life as usual ok." Andre said, kissing Lucy's forehead.
"I'm lucky to have you, I'll be a good woman for you today tomorrow and beyond" Lucy said, hugging Andre.
"Did you indirectly ask me to marry you?" ask Andre.
Lucy falls asleep and Andre leaves her in the room. Andre came out of the room and set foot into his study. Once there he opened his phone and pressed a number.
"I need your help right now, I want you to finish someone for me" Andre said.
"Yoo. You haven't contacted me in a long time and suddenly want to get rid of someone. Does anyone dare to disturb our boss?" ask the man behind the phone.
"Stop messing with me, I want you to teach him a lesson and get him away from Lucy" Andre said seriously.
"Is there a man out there who dares to disturb your woman? If so, they really took his life" said the man.
"I'm going to send you a picture of his face" Andre hung up.
He sat behind his desk and rested his body on the back of his chair. Andre is desperately trying to protect Lucy, perhaps because he really loves the innocent Lucy.
"I'll do anything to make you happy, ahh this is really not what I used to be." murmured Andre.
He also saw the clock was showing at 3 pm, and set foot towards the sofa in the room. Andre chose to sleep there for the comfort of his woman.

Lucy woke up from her sleep, her throat feeling dry. He got up from the bed and walked out to the kitchen and took a drink. After wetting his throat by drinking his eyes are still sleepy looking for the figure of the man who owns the house, but did not find it.
"Where did he go? It's 5 in the morning and I don't see it anywhere. Is he in his study?" thought Lucy.
Lucy steps into Andre's study. Actually this is the first time he came to Andre's apartment and stayed here, he was second-guessing the room to find the figure of his beloved man. His steps stopped after seeing something that caught his attention, Lucy opened the thick book and tried to read it. But he did not understand at all, the writing in the book was only the first time he saw it like that.
"Why are you here?" andre's question suddenly startled Lucy who was seriously looking at the book.
"Owh, I'm thirsty and looking for you everywhere but I can't find you. Suddenly I saw this strange book." Lucy told Andre.
"I slept in the study, don't you know what this is?" ask Andre.
"No... I just saw this for the first time in my life." Lucy said curiously.
"This is in the Muslims called the Qur'an. This is the holy book of Muslims around the world." Andre explained.
"Ahh, sorry I don't know at all. It is fitting that I do not understand the writing." said Lucy put the Qur'an back to its original place.
"What's wrong, here is a meaning that you can understand" said Andre.
"Owh, I'll go back to the room. You go on sleeping, I won't bother you anymore" Lucy said.
"Yes you go to bed first, I have to perform the morning prayer first" said Andre.
Lucy fell silent and set her feet toward the room, while Andre prepared to pray after taking ablution. Lucy watched Andre from a distance, she did not expect that the man she had met so far was very obedient to her religion. Lucy admired him even more and observed every movement of Andre's prayers. After knowing Andre would be done he ran into the room and closed the door. He laid his body down and continued his sleep.
