They Say, I'm a Liar

Qeiza Regrets

Evelyn has not spent her weekends at home. She travels out of town with her friends more often. Ivander, of course, doesn't question that. The opportunity was actually used by Ivander to establish more closeness with Qeiza and her family.

Especially Qiana.

Because Ivander was certain, if Qiana received it well, gradually, Qeiza would definitely accept herself as well. Accepted as a second wife.

Therefore, every weekend, Ivander always spent time playing with Qiana. Ivander often invites Qiana and Qeiza to take them to play in the amusement park with Ivona and her two children.

Meet every day, make the little girl more sticky on Ivander Bratajaya. Moreover, that man had always spoiled Qiana. The little girl regained the affection of a father who had suddenly disappeared from her life.

Ivander also grew more and more affectionate towards Qiana. The man had already considered and treated Qiana like his own child. Qeiza could see that too. Ivander's love for his son was so sincere.

Every morning, hearing Ivander's car enter her yard, Qiana immediately ran and stood on the porch to greet the man. And Ivander will immediately carry and kiss the cheeks of his beloved little girl, before leaving for work.

“Qia what to bring later afternoon?”

It was a question that Ivander asked Qiana every morning. And the little girl always answered cheerfully. Doughnuts, strawberry milk, yogurt, chocolate, there are things that Qiana asks for every day.

Of course Ivander always brought whatever the princess wanted, after work. The man even often had dinner with Qeiza and her family.

Buying food first when going home to work with Qeiza, before finally the man spent the night eating with Qeiza, Qiana and Melati.

No more greetings, no more warm kisses landed Ivander when the man went to work. After all, Evelyn would also be unlikely to realize that. Because when Ivander left for work, Evelyn had just fallen asleep.

From day to day, the relationship between a couple is getting bland. While his relationship with Qeiza, the more the day warms. Although the one-child widow still called him 'father' but Qeiza no longer tried to stay away from him. Qeiza also never again dodged, as she clasped the woman's fingers. In fact, Ivander often did, when they spent three hours every weekend. Ivander held Qiana in his right hand, the man's left hand tightly clasped the fingers of Qeiza. The portrait was once secretly immortalized by Ivona.

However, they do not know, who secretly perpetuated the moment not only Ivona. There were others who also photographed Ivander's warmth with Qeiza and Qiana.

Meeting with Qeiza and Qiana in the morning, made Ivander excited all day. For the man, his day had only begun when he arrived at the Qeiza residence. Carrying and warmly tasting both of Qiana's cheeks, as well as staring at Qeiza's sweet smile. The two women are now a life booster for Ivander Bratajaya.

In fact, all the needs of the Qeiza family, Ivander were sufficient. Rice, sugar, oil, soap, floor cleaners, even skincare Qeiza was bought by the man.

This makes Melati, starting to feel something unusual with the relationship between the child and his boss.

“Not that Mr Ivan already has a wife?” jasmine asked one night, when Ivander had just left their residence.

Qeiza.

All this time he had been deliberately ignoring it. Ignore if the man dreams of having a wife. Especially when looking at the closeness that exists between Ivander and Qiana—kannya.

“You put Qiana to bed first, after that, I want to talk.”

Melati left Qeiza who was still sculpting, before Qiana finally invited her mother to go to sleep. Qeiza also followed Qiana's small steps towards the room. It only took fifteen minutes for the little girl to fall asleep. Qeiza should have met her mother by now. But the woman was afraid. Not afraid of his mother wrath. Qeiza knew that her mother must have been angry to find out that she was so clingy with a married man.

But , what Qeiza feared was that she was re-awakened by a fact. The fact he had been trying to bury. A fact if Ivander— the man he loves— is a man who has a wife.

Thirty minutes of Melati waiting for the child in the living room. However, Qeiza did not appear from behind the door of the room. The elderly woman came to Qeiza and Qiana's room.

“Qia is asleep right?”

Jasmine who suddenly appeared from behind the door, made the dreamy, slightly aghast Qeiza.

“Su - already, Mom,” replied Qeiza nervously.

“You want us to talk here or in the living room?”

Qeiza sighed heavily, “in the living room only, Bu.”

The two women who had blood relations also stepped together towards the living room of their residence.

“Jawab mother question, yes.”

Qeiza did not answer him directly.

“What Mr Ivan still has a wife?”

Heavily, Qeiza nodded slowly. Although Melati had expected it, but the elderly woman was still flabbergasted when she saw the nod of Qeiza's head.

“What they— Ivan and his wife — are in divorce proceedings?”

Qeiza shook her head.

“Yes, Qeiza Hikaru ... Mr Ivan's marriage and his wife are fine, but you get into it? Do you want to be a destroyer of other people's households?!”

“Pak Ivan is not happy with his marriage, Mom,” says Qeiza. Actually, the woman knew that her actions could not be justified. Establish a relationship without status with a man who is still a husband.

But, in fact, it's not. Melati didn't yell at him. The mother did not scold him, let alone slap him on the cheek.

Jasmine crying.

The elderly woman was crying so much.

Qeiza fear. Qeiza was sad to see her mother wailing.

The woman knelt down. Qeiza drowned her face in the mother's lap.

“Im sorry Qei, Mom. Forgive Qei,”.

“Qei wants Qiana to have a father. Qei wants Qia to feel the warmth and protection of a father.”

“But not by seizing someone's husband, Qei. Not by being the destroyer of other women's households. Looks like I miseducated you, Qei. It's all wrong mom.”

Back Melati sobbing. Qeiza apologized again. The mother and son cried together.

“But, Mr. Ivan's wife agreed if Mr. Ivan married again, Mom,” ogled Qeiza, when she heard the mother had stopped sobbing.

“Qei, view mother.”

Qeiza raised her head, looking at the mother.

“Did Mr Ivan's own wife tell you?”

Qeiza shook her head slowly.

“It could be that Mr. Ivan lied about it, Qei. No woman wants to share a husband. No woman will ever do it.”

Qeiza let out a heavy sigh. The mother's words have a point. Maybe the romantic guy lied to her.

“Seefer Mr. Ivan, Qei. Don't let him come here again. Limit your relationships. Keep your attitude on him. Act accordingly a subordinate to his superior,” Melati said.

“Mother please, Qei.”

Forced to shake his head.

And this morning, when Ivander picked her up, there was no smile on Qeiza's face. The woman tried to hold back the tears when she saw the child so happy in Ivander's arms.

Qeiza hugged Qiana tightly. The woman hugged the child.

“Im sorry mom, Qi. I'm sorry it was your mama who brought you close to that man, and now you have to part with him. All wrong mama.”

Unusually, during the trip to the office, Qeiza was silent, with her eyes constantly staring straight ahead.

“What's up, Qei?”

“Nothing, Sir,” replied Qeiza. The woman tried to suppress her feelings that had wanted to cry. Had to let go of the man he didn't already have, why was it so painful? He had to separate the man from his son.

Be ill.

That was all that Qeiza felt, now.

Ivander pulled the vehicle over. There was no smile on the face of the woman he loved. Even the woman spoke with trembling lips.

“Hey, what's up?”

Instantly Qeiza slouched her face on both palms. The woman was crying.

“Why are you, Qei?”

Ivander could not bear to see Qeiza sobbing. The man carrying the head of Qeiza was leaning on his shoulder. Letting the woman let go of all her sadness.

“Please don't come to my house again, sir. Don't approach my son again. Please stay away from our lives. Our relationship is only work.”

“What's Qei? Did I do anything wrong?”

“Nothing is wrong, sir. I was wrong to respond to a married man. I just don't want my mother to be sad because her son is labeled as an actor.”

Ivander was devastated to hear Qeiza's request to stay away from the woman and her child. This few weeks he felt more excited because of the presence of Qeiza and Qiana. He loved both women very much. If suddenly told to stay away like this, Ivander felt unable.

That morning, Ivander canceled all of his work schedules. It felt like he was unable to work properly because he had to give up Qeiza and Qiana.

Ivander called his father after the man arrived at his study. Tells me about Qeiza who asked her to stay away. Ivander also approached his sister's Ivona— workspace— and spilled all his anxiety.
