They Say, I'm a Liar

Roommate

“Pak Ivan is not wrong.So, you do not need to apologize. I even thank you for Mr. Ivan coming to help me.”

Hearing Qeiza's words, Ivander immediately carried the woman in his arms.

“Should have, I didn't leave you there, alone. I should have listened to the MoU reading as usual,” said Ivander. The haunting guilt, made Ivander unknowingly clutching Qeiza tightly. In his kiss the old head of Qeiza, until the woman closed her eyes and returned Ivander's embrace.

Undeniably, Ivander made Qeiza feel at ease. The presence of the man also made Qeiza feel safe, feel protected.

Krucuuk....!

Ivander instantly let go of his embrace and looked at Qeiza while giving a smile. This woman he loved was very hungry, he thought.

“I ordered dinner, yes. What do you want to eat?” ask the gentleman.

“As for you,” replied Qeiza, while bowing in shame because her stomach rumbled without knowing the situation.

“Qei, can you call me by the name, Mas?” pinta Ivander once again. Qeiza.

“Sa-me, I ..—”

“Once, forget. We'll order some food first. Fear, the worms in your stomach are running amok!”

“Iiih ...,” whine spoiled Qeiza, while gently hitting Ivander's chest. Ivander immediately caught Qeiza's hand, causing the woman to raise her gaze.

With eyes glaring at each other, Ivander peeked at the fist that had just patted his chest.

“I really love you,” Ivander said.

Again the man managed to make Qeiza blush. If only the man was unmarried, it was certain, Qeiza would immediately enter his arms and reply to that declaration of love.

“You rest first. I ordered food. If the food has come, I will call you,” said Ivander, who was answered with a small nod by Qeiza.

If you expect Ivander and Qeiza to repeat the scene last night, you're wrong. Because right now, Ivander and Qeiza are just enjoying the dinner quietly. There was only a sound other than the clanking of the clashing spoon. They shut each other up. And Qeiza returned to her room, shortly after eating.

Supposedly, this morning, Qeiza and ivander returned to the Capital City. However, because the case that befell Qeiza has been processed, the woman was questioned from the police. Ivander and Qeiza added to their stay in Madura, for the next three days.

Actually Ivander could only add to the schedule of staying only one night. Because the police only need a description of Qeiza for a day. However, the man deliberately added the schedule of staying for three nights. Because Ivander wants to enjoy a vacation with Qeiza.

At first the woman refused. But seeing Ivander so begging him, Qeiza finally agreed.

This morning, at exactly 05:00 AM local time, Ivander and Qeiza left for Gili Labak. They had to travel by boat for an hour and a half.

Qeiza was stunned as on the way, they were greeted by the morning sun that slowly emerged from behind the vast ocean. Ivander smiled as he saw a happy twinkle on the woman's face. If people are busy preparing cameras to capture the sunrise view in the middle of the ocean. Ivander was busy capturing the Qeiza who was admiring the beauty of the sunrise.

After an hour and a half of sea travel, Ivander and Qeiza walked around the five-acre Gili Labak. Come to some exotic angles found in Gili labak. Don't forget to capture their moments there. Ivander repeatedly asks for help from someone to take his portrait with Qeiza.

“Sorry yes Qei, because of the weekend, so the lodging here is full booked all. There is only one room left,” Ivander said, as they finished eating dinner.

“But you are calm. There are two mattresses. We don't sleep in the same bed.” Qeiza could only sigh heavily. As it was getting late and no ship returned to Sumenep, Qeiza stayed in the same room as Ivander.

And now, Qeiza's sleeping with Ivander's back. While the man continued to watch Qeiza's back while smiling. Ivander even imagined, if he had officially become the husband of Qeiza, surely the woman who was behind him would be immediately ambushed.

Tonight, Qeiza and Ivander are both unable to sleep. Being in the same room, making the hearts of both men beat unbecoming.

Qeiza turned her body so that she could look at Ivander. While the man immediately closed his eyes— pretended to be asleep.

Qeiza stared fixedly, at the man who was now only a meter away from her. Staring at his closed eyes, his high nose, and his lips ... Qeiza was unable to turn away as she looked at the man's lips. The lips that made him fall. The lips that had devoured her pink lips.

“Why should you have a wife, Sir?” shiver the woman. Qeiza fell asleep afterwards. Meanwhile, Ivander, the man who had pretended to sleep was actually asleep.

And a pair of human children who seemed to love each other, returned across to Sumenep the next day. Ivander and Qeiza even went straight to the Capital after that.

Meanwhile, with the abuse case that he did, Kevin's company did not receive compensation for termination of cooperation from Bratajaya Corporation. The striped-nose man was sentenced to 12 years in prison and a fine of three hundred million rupiahs.

Ivander really proved his point. The man smashed Kevin's company to pieces. All the companies that cooperated with Kevin's company, flocked to withdraw their cooperation, then turned to Bratajaya Corporation.

In just one month, the medium-sized company was declared bankrupt. All of his assets have been sold.

Andreas, who knew about the sexual abuse case against Qeiza, was very happy with the attitude taken by Ivander. Seeing how Ivander destroyed Kevin made him feel more confident that the son loved Qeiza so much. It meant that his eldest son could look after and make Qeiza happy.

It also means that Ivander's love for Evelyn—his wife— begins to fade, and could eventually easily let go of the woman who never gave her son's heartfelt love.

Since the incident in Madura, Qeiza has not spoken about resigning. What Ivander did, made Qeiza feel bad if she had to resign.

Especially for the last two months, Ivander always accompanied Qeiza back and forth to Madura to attend the trial charges to Kevin.

Evelyn, meanwhile, was astonished at her husband who had been out of town for two months.

“Feelings, now you often work out of town?!”

“I don't think you realize that I've been to Madura lately!” Evelyn only let out a rough sigh, hearing Ivander's words which were quite tatrous at that moment.

How could Ivander not speak to his wife? If after two months Evelyn realized that. Though in the first month he had three times back and forth Jakarta-Madura.

“Don't I ever send a message, if I accompany Qeiza to the abuse case trial during a meeting in Madura?”

“You sure you're on the right side? It could be that Qeiza is flirting with your clients. She is a widow. Thirsty will caress, definitely!” lady Evelyn.
