~ ~ ~
Eadrick did not want to waste someone who was very sincere to him, and also sacrificed a lot for him. He doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of his father, Mr. Ezekiel. He wants to be a man in charge, even though it seems too late for many years.
Coming back to Country A, only to meet Qiana, the woman who was once a mother-to-be for her child.
On the sudden arrival of Eadrick with all his special surprises. It made Qiana very surprised and never expected that this beautiful day would come. Because he had just run the chemotherapy process, and required him to rest more. Qiana lost her body balance, then fell staggered.

Ead as quickly as possible took Qiana to the nearest hospital, anxious about Qiana's current state.
Staring around him, and Ead who was still faithful clasped his hand tightly.
“Where, where are we?” qiana said softly, enduring her headache.
“We will check your health to the nearest doctor. Relax, everything will be fine, okay.” Ead said, while wiping the top of Qiana's head.
Qiana shook her head in a sign of disapproval. “No, I hate hospitals. I'm fine, please turn the direction!” Qiana begged Ead not to continue their journey.
He did not want Ead to know his current condition, this still could not entrust anyone to know.
“Why Qiana, has the hospital given you a bad experience?” Ead had just remembered the story of her past grief with Qiana, who was related to the hospital.
Ead thought that Qiana had a feeling of trauma with the hospital. Remembering their baby-to-be ended up in the hospital, when the events of Qiana's fall from the steps a few years ago.
“Alright, we'll be back. I'm sorry Qiana.” Ead regretted, then they returned to the shop house where Qiana worked.
“Thank you for your understanding Edrick.” said Qiana with a sad look. Qiana needed time to rest more after her chemotherapy.

Qiana Smitte's Shop Home
They returned to Qiana's shop house, Qiana had to try to stay calm. So that no one knows his condition is currently not okay.
“You are still the same as you used to be, always working hard.” Praise Ead, as the two were sitting in the living room, the second floor of Qiana's workroom.
“Yeah, I have to stay independent.”
“Are you no longer with your family?”
“Sometimes I'm there, sometimes I'm here with some of my employees. I'm more comfortable being with them.” Reply to Qiana, and occasionally he coughed with his dark blue handkerchief.
“You look very pale, and also it seems like your weight is very down.”
“Ah, you're right. I was too busy with my work. It makes me sometimes forget to have lunch.” Reply Qiana with a thin smiling face.
“Tomorrow, I'd like to take you to dinner. Can you?” Ead touched the back of Qiana's hand.
“I,” Qiana returned Ead's gaze, with the look of her eyes that looked so cute.
“I'll pick you up. For today, you have to rest, okay!” Ead rubbed the top of Qiana's head, with a genuine smile. Qiana nodded in agreement to Ead's invitation.

After a little chat, Ead immediately went to his temporary stopover while in Country A. while taking care of all his work remotely.
Meanwhile, Qiana was busy with the activity of choosing the right clothes for her to wear the next day. Qiana even ordered some dresses from her trust clothing store. He wanted to look special in front of the man he loved so much. For some reason, Qiana was so happy, it also added a few percent of her life spirit.
Qiana finally decides on the dress she will be wearing on her first date with Ead. Well, the first date, where Ead actually asked her to go together.
Qiana was already sitting on the bottom floor of her shop house, her nervous impatience was really unable to cover up. Qiana often smiles to herself, remembering how Ead invited her to go together.
Back surprised, when he heard the sound of a car engine that had just arrived in front of his shop house. Hurrying towards the main door, and the long-awaited man had already opened the car door for him.
Walking with a radiant face, what a very happy night for Qiana.
“You’re so beautiful.” Praise Ead, when Qiana enters her car.
Qiana only smiled in embarrassment, not knowing what sentence she should reply to this compliment.The two immediately headed to the place that Ead had prepared.

While on the way, Ead clasped Qiana's hand as much as possible, regulating her breathing. This is very strange, he did not expect the man he had longed for finally happened like a true lover.
XX Hotel
Ead takes Qiana to a hotel, only to have dinner together by an artificial lake. Under the moonlight, and the splendid lights were there.
Sitting face to face, with the lights dimming. All of Ead was preparing for his meeting with Qiana.
“Why did you bring me here?” Qiana asked in wonder.
“All this is to celebrate our togetherness again.” Ead said, grabbing both hands belonging to Qiana, peeking at the back of Qiana's hand.
Qiana trembled as she received the preferential treatment from Ead tonight.
“I want us to repeat this interrupted story. I have worked hard to prove that I am a man who can make you happy. Not just with love, but with the way I meet all your needs.”
“Edrick, you mean.” Qiana still could not believe that Ead would say this to her.
“I want us to be a happy married couple. I want to fix everything, and start everything from scratch with you, and our children.”
Qiana fell silent, upon hearing the statement from Ead. She is well aware of her current health condition, which makes it impossible to have a child. Because it will be very risky for his body and also the growth and development of the baby.
Qiana's happy face suddenly dimmed there was no longer any light of happiness there.
“Do you not like?’ Ead touched Qiana's face.
Qiana got up from the chair she was sitting in. Ead held back her steps, grabbing Qiana's body towards her decapitation.
“Do you still have a grudge against me? Please Qiana, give me a chance to fix everything.” Ead was still holding Qiana in his arms.
“You yaki, although later on I can't always make you happy?” Qiana had been holding back her tears from earlier.
Ead did not understand the meaning and meaning of Qiana's words. But Ead was convinced, if Qiana might still be harboring pain in their past.
“Yeah, I'll try to be the guy who always takes care of you.”
Qiana's tears dripped down her smooth cheeks, as did Ead. Slowly, Ead grabbed the nape of Qiana's neck, pecking at Qiana's lips.
“I love you Qiana, be a wife and mother to my children.” Ead said right in Qiana's earlobe.
Qiana was unable to hold back her happy day, and was also afraid to face their future. Qiana was afraid, if her health condition would end up disappointing.
