The First Curse of Love
66. Thank You, I Love You

Qiara let out a frustrated sigh while putting her phone on the table. Since this morning all he's done is check his phone, hoping Danny will call him. But since yesterday, exactly after they returned from lunch, not once did Danny contact him. And what made Qiara even more upset right now was herself. He had absolutely no idea why he had to be this excited just because Danny didn't call him, or just text him.

Qiara snorted, "continue! Don't expect me to pick up the phone or chat you later!" Omel Qiara looked at her phone as if she was talking to Danny.

"Yes call, Qi, if Danny hasn't been together! If you are upset with him, just talk to him. Don't roast your brain alone." Ledek Alisha who had suddenly just walked over from behind Qiara, then sat down next to him.

Back then, the two of them had just finished their broadcast.

"Who else is the same Danny?" Grousers Qiara.

"Eh, Qi! Sakha said, Felicya has agreed to become a guest star next week. I'm surprised, why Felicya suddenly confirmed, huh? He usually confirms it long."

"Oh, huh?"

"Mk." Alisha muttered while remaining focused with the paper in her hand.

"Yes, that means good dong! Our job's easier."

Moments later, Alisha got up from her chair while picking up a hard drive in her bag. "Gue's going to Danny, Qi. From earlier Arga has chat to make sure what hardisk he has been I love to Danny what has not."

"Danny?"

"Yes. Semalem Danny stopped by Arga's house, but the Fool left his hard drive. So yeah, Arga put this on me. Wait, yeah?"

"Let me!" Sahut Qiara with a sumringah face as if she had just discovered an extremely precious treasure.

Alisha was silent, and just stared in astonishment at Qiara who suddenly looked so excited. Not more than two minutes ago, the woman seemed to be upset.

"Related?" Ask Alisha to make sure.

Qiara nodded steadily while taking over the hard drive from Alisha's hands.

"Yes, Cha. I'm going down for a drink too." Alibi later.

"Do you want me to go to Yemen?" Alisha asked once more a moment after Qiara walked past her.

"No need. I'm alone." Qiara replied lightly as she waved her hand without turning to look at Alisha who was already quite far behind her.

"Hahaha, is it better?" Alisha's knot when Qiara had already disappeared behind the door.

"That means Mr Dean can't attend Mba Nathalie and Mas Justin's wedding?" Windy asked Dean, who was preparing to leave for Havana to prepare for the opening of a branch there.

Nathalie Abigail Ganendra is the youngest daughter of ANH Group owner who agreed a month ago to hold her wedding party at Clover Leaf Hotel and Resort after Windy managed to find her engagement ring that had been lost. During this one month, both Dean and Windy have made the best and most mature preparations possible so as not to happen the slightest mistake when the party has been held.

But Dean, who had been working hard all of a sudden said that he could not attend the wedding of the daughter of one of the most important people.

"Sister Dean has spoken directly to Justin and apologized. Justin is understand. So you don't have to worry."

Somehow Windy felt that business travel was just an excuse for Dean to avoid considering that there must be Danny and Qiara's name on the guest list. But Windy could not comment further on his conclusion.

Windy can't reach out to Dean's privacy when he realizes he doesn't have a significant position in Dean's life.

"Some of it's all done, right? You've even just come as an invitation."

"Yes, Brother Dean." Windy replied in a doldrums.

...****...

"Mas Danny, this is the file that Mas Danny has to sign." Nova— said one of the members on Danny's team who acted as creative while handing over a map.

"It's all, right?" Danny took the map from Nova and reread it carefully.

"Well, my mother." Answer Nova brief.

Danny nodded and said, "okay, this is all good."

Danny then placed the map on a nearby table before finally affixing his signature.

And Qiara, who had been standing at the door, could see all of Danny's busy time. Qiara thought to herself, It's only natural that Danny doesn't have time to contact her if she's that busy right now.

Qiara also abandoned his intention to hand over the hard drive directly to Danny, and chose to leave it to one of the employees in the division who happened to pass it.

"Mass?" Tegur Qiara finally.

The employee he had just reprimanded immediately stopped his steps and looked at Qiara, "what's the matter, huh, Mba?"

"Can you please hand this over to Danny, he—"

"I'm here!" Said Danny who had suddenly appeared right from behind Qiara.

In his heart Qiara immediately cursed herself. Hopefully it doesn't seem clear, that he came to Danny's division just to see him. And the reason that wants to give up the hard drive that Arga entrusted, hopefully not impressed as contrived. Please Qiara.

"Well, that's Danny! Excuse me, will you?" Said the employee, then continued his steps that had been stopped by Qiara.

Qiara then turned awkwardly towards Danny.

"What's up, Qi?" Ask Danny calmly.

What sucks for Qiara now is, Danny looks ordinary. Unlike Qiara who was trying desperately to neutralize her nervousness before this man.

"It's from Arga." Qiara answered quickly as she stretched out the hard drive.

"Well, how can it be on you? Didn't Arga say he was in Icha, did he?"

Mucus! Now how should Qiara dodge that question? Danny would have laughed with satisfaction until he knew the real reason for Qiara.

"I—Icha is busy. J—so he—"

"You came here because you wanted to see me, huh?" Sambar Danny with one teasing smile.

Qiara was getting more and more wrong with her own behavior and malignancy. Right now, his brain is completely unthinkable. Qiara could not even think of a single word to be able to answer Danny.

Beyond Qiara's calculations, Danny suddenly pulled his wrist and took him into a small room that was a place for employees to rest or stay overtime. Inside the room was even provided one bunk bed.

Upon arrival there, Danny immediately closed the door and accidentally cornered Qiara's body on the wall.

"Why did you bring me here, Dann?" Asked Qiara groggyly.

"No need to do anything. I just want to give you some time to see my handsome face without interruption. You've come all the way here, so you should at least get what you want." Danny said with confidence.

Qiara hissed cynically while turning her face away. Then when he tried to release his hand from Danny's grasp, Danny just clucked and further tighten his grip.

"Who said I was busy? Mm?"

"Since yesterday you didn't call or chat—" Qiara immediately stopped her words when she realized that she had just been released.

Shit, a thousand damn! Qiara grimaced while cursing what had just come out of her mouth.

"So, are you waiting for me from yesterday?"

"I'm..."

Before Qiara could answer, Danny had already landed his kiss on Qiara's lips. A surprised Qiara tried to rebel by pushing Danny's chest with both hands, but the effort was futile. He has absolutely no power to defeat Danny's energy which is certainly much stronger than his power

Qiara finally gave up.

And when Danny sensed that Qiara was no longer rebelling, Danny took the hard drive out of Qiara's hand and threw it quietly on the couch right next to them. Not long after, Danny released their link for a moment. Danny's eyes that had been soft, now filled with desire that he had been keeping tidy.

How not? If at that time Qiara looked very pretty. The sunlight that hit his face from the side, the gust of wind from the window that blew his long hair, the brown eyes with both cheeks flushed resisting embarrassment, she said, and her lips that looked a little paled due to her actions just now, all of which, made the beauty of Qiara become many times in Danny's view, he said, making Danny no longer have the power to just hold back like he did since the first time he was reunited with Qiara.

"Don't refuse me anymore" whispered Danny with his still-hunting sigh, colliding with Qiara's sigh that hit his face to cause a warm sensation there.

Without giving Qiara a chance to take a breath any longer, Danny buried his lips with Qiara's lips more boldly. For this time, Qiara accepted and replied, she even hugged Danny's neck with both hands as if asking that Danny not stop.

Like Danny, Qiara also wants to spill all his desires that have been held back for three years.

...****...

"Tante really still can't believe that Qiara, who disappeared for three years, has finally reappeared in front of Auntie now." Faradina said as she continued to look at Qiara without getting bored.

That afternoon, Qiara deliberately took the time to visit Danny's house to be able to meet with Danny's parents. After all, Danny's parents are like his own. Qiara could not constantly hide from them for a long time.

When he found out that it was Qiarah who had come to their house earlier, Faradina immediately hugged him with a full hug, Faradina also said that how much she had missed Qiara all this time. And after the greeting of the meeting, Faradina invited Qiara to have tea together in their backyard.

Meanwhile, Papa Danny is in Havana with Dean to monitor preparations for the opening of their hotel branch there. That was the reason why only Faradina welcomed his arrival.

"Qia apologized for Qia's childish attitude in the past, Qia apologized as well for worrying Auntie over these three years." I Qiara regretfully. He even lowered his face deeply. Faradina's warm welcome to him made him feel even more guilty.

Faradina shook her head slowly, she grabbed Qiara's hands and held them tightly, "it is precisely Tantelah who should apologize to you. After the departure of your Papa and Mama, Aunty should be able to take better care of you, but Aunt failed."

"Auntie has not failed. Since Qia was a child even until this second, Qia still always felt the affection of Aunt. Because Om and Aunt too, Qia never felt lacking in the affection of parents. For this reason, Qia is very grateful and grateful to you."

"Then, what have you been doing for the past three years?" Faradina asked who felt curious about how Qiara was doing during her disappearance.

"Qia went to Brisbane, and continued S2 there. Luckily, Qia was able to graduate in less than two years. After that, Qia met Brother Dean—"

"Deans? Dean's going to Brisbane?" Raut Faradina looked in disbelief. Because all this time, Dean never told them anything.

Qiara nodded, and continued, "yes. Brother Dean already knows that Qia is in Brisbane. But Bang Ray then asked that Brother Dean not tell anyone first. And when we met that, Brother Dean asked Qia to come home. Qia finally followed Kak Dean's request, but on condition that Qia stay on Banu island for a while. At that time, Qia really did not have the courage and readiness to face Danny, and all of you. Until one day, Qia and Danny finally meet by themselves." Qiara smiled bitterly at the end of her sentence, remembering how shocking their meeting was.

"Can Aunt ask you one more thing?"

Qiara raised her head, looking at Faradina meaningfully.

"Do you... still have the same feelings for Danny? Or rather, you already have feelings for Dean?"

Qiara was silent for a long time, before finally confidently answering, "Sister Dean has been very good with Qia, Tan. Brother Dean was also the one who helped Qia a lot until Qia was able to rise as it is today, but...." Qiara took a pause to sigh, "Danny has always been the only one for Qia. Danny will never be replaced."

...****...

"Mama why the hell? Tumben-tumbennya told Danny to come home?" Danny's Protest to His Mama.

As soon as he got home, Danny sat down at the dinner table. There, there are already some foods that become their dinner dishes.

"Why the hell? Do you protest every time you tell me to come home? You know for yourself, right? If Brother Dean and Papa you are abroad again, you as the only child left should be sensitive dong if Mama is lonely, Mama needs to be cemented." Reply Faradina while putting a plate of fruits on the table.

"Hadeh, hadeh.. since when did Mama turn into such sentimental?" Danny was starting to think.

"Since my children have grown up and been busy with each other's world."

Danny who automatically feels embarrassed if his mother has started to play like this also finally decided to stop their chat before the drama continues. He then grabbed a fork and took one of the smallest pieces of soy sauce chicken in front of him. On his first chew, Danny immediately liked it.

"It must be the cook, not Mama, right?" Danny asked curiously while plucking one more piece of chicken from a big plate.

"Indeed not Mama. Qia is cooking."

"Ohhhh..." Danny nodded casually. In a split second, his face instantly changed as he chanted, "WHAT??"

"It's not Mama who's cooking, it's Qia." Faradina repeated, trying desperately to hold back her smile.

"Qi—Qia?"

"Night, Danny..." Sapa Qiara calmly walked behind Danny, placed a bowl of lettuce on the table, then took a sitting position right next to Danny.

Danny stared in disbelief at the woman beside him. The presence of Qiara in his house, really felt like a dream to him.

Unfortunately, when Qiara turned to her with a warm smile, Danny's memory actually revolved back when he and Qiara kissed hot in the office the other day.

This woman next to him, has really become a little opium in itself for Danny.

"Where? Still want to protest with Mama because Mama told me to go home?" Goda Faradina's. He raised both his hands on the table, then propped his chin up with it.

Qiara just smiled as she shook her head looking at the behavior of the pair of Mother and Child. Not long after, Qiara took a plate in front of Danny, spooned the rice and some side dishes for Danny and handed it back to Danny.

Qiara may not have noticed it, but in Faradina's eyes at the time, Qiara really already looked like a real wife to Danny.

"Here is Aunt's plate," asked Qiara as she extended her right hand.

"No need. No need. You two eat. Aunt diet again. Not eating heavy food." Faradina Alibi. He got up from the dinner table and left the two men alone in that place.

A few moments after Faradina left.

"Qi?" Call Danny while staying focused on his meal.

"Hm?"

"Thank you, I love you." Danny muttered in a whisper that instantly made Qiara turn to him.

From that day on, Danny had already decided that he would often say that he loved Qiara. Every time Danny would shower him with those phrases.

Qiara then tried to hold the smile on her face as Danny quietly grabbed her hand then clasped it tightly.
