Reaching Hope
Chapter 58 Declares Love

While Andre and Cindy still felt awkward, they had never been together before especially with a romantic atmosphere like now.

"Cindy, do you like this place?" ask Andre to start a conversation.

"Yes, Sir. I like it," he answered.

"Don't call Mr. Dong, just call him by name" Andre replied.

"I'm not good, however my boss," Cindy replied.

"But don't call me Father, it's too formal and makes my age feel so old" protested Andre.

Cindy was silent for a moment, she thought of the right call for the man in front of her. A polite, appropriate but more intimate call.

"Can I just call Andre?" ask Cindy.

"Well, it's better, keep using me. You'll just say yes, let's be more familiar" replied Andre agreed.

The two of them suddenly kept silent, they were confused about running out of the topic of chatter. Andre was stringing words to express his feelings. He had actually been practicing but somehow when he met his person directly his tongue became a kelu. With all his courage he began to speak seriously.

"Cindy, we've known her for a long time. Like the sorrow we often pass together, I know you've been disappointed in men, I've felt the same way. Honestly I'm starting to feel a different feeling towards you, it looks like I'm starting to love you" Andre said, clasping Cindy's hand.

"Do you have the same taste as me? Are you willing to be the color of my days? To be light in my darkness? Desperate in my hope? Will you be half my breath?" andre asked, staring at the blind Cindy who was beginning to condense.

Cindy felt moved, she did not expect Andre to be this romantic. His words were so soothing.

"Mas, I can at least string words together. So sorry I didn't reply to your lovely words. I promise to always be faithful. I'm willing, Mas Andre," Cindy replied sincerely.

Andre was unable to cover up his happiness, he kissed Cindy's hands gently. They both drowned in happiness.

"It seems like something new is coming," Juan's temptation suddenly took them by surprise.

"You are already a ghost suddenly appeared, making people surprised," grumbled Andre.

"Hahaha, that's a shock. Tomorrow's Sunday where are we going, celebrating what just happened?" juan asked still flirting.

"Tomorrow I have an important event, next week we go for a walk" replied Andre.

They continued to chat casually, sounding mutual poked between Juan and Andre made the atmosphere immediately melt. Juan feels very happy to see his best friend has found his happiness, especially he is very sure Cindy is a good woman just like her lover.

On Monday, Andre can't wait to meet his girlfriend. He had prepared a gift for Cindy, hoping she would accept it. Today he left early to meet Cindy.

"Clara, I'll borrow Cindy for a second, yeah," Andre said as he pulled Cindy into his room.

Clara did not answer because they had entered, and she rushed into her room.

"Mas Andre, please if in a professional office yes, do not do this. I don't want your reputation ruined because of our relationship" Cindy said while in the room.

"When I choose you, I am ready for the consequences. Never listen to the words of others who hurt you, we who live so only we know how happy this heart is" Andre replied.

"Please accept this, so that if we miss being able to contact each other," he said, handing over the phone he bought yesterday.

"Why bother, don't be too wasteful. I'm afraid people will be prejudiced, just become your lover you've bought such expensive things," Cindy replied feeling bad.

"I don't care what other people say, I know you better than they do so I know what your nature is. Please don't refuse yes" Andre assured him.

"Alright, thank you for the gift," Cindy replied with a sweet smile.

"I went back to my room first yes, 'Mas, '" said Cindy.

"Yes, Honey. Later lunch in my room yes, I want to be with you alone" said Andre.

"Why did Mr. Andre call you, Brother?" ask Clara when Cindy comes.

Cindy showed me her new phone.

"Well new phone, surely in the love of Mr. Andre yes?" ask Clara.

"Sutt, don't be so hard" Cindy said as she placed her index finger on her lips.

"Huh? Why is it, brother?" ask Clara wonder.

"I'm not ready if everyone knows my relationship with Mas Andre" Cindy replied.

"Cie. cie. now call him Mas yes," the tease Clara could not hold back her laughter.

"Clara don't keep teasing me, I'm ashamed, '" replied Cindy whose face had been met with red blush.

"Haha... Brother is funny, I'm glad to see you can smile happily like this again" said Clara sincerely.

"She's taking me to lunch together in her room later, Clara. Are you okay?" ask Cindy to feel sorry for Clara.

"Of course it doesn't matter, brother. I can eat with Bella's sister or with the others. Stop always thinking of me, Big Brother should also think of Big Brother's happiness as well," Clara replied very wisely.

As she talks, Bella comes and greets them both.

"Belcome, Brother Bella, early in the morning someone has given flowers," seduced Clara when she saw her friend brought flowers.

"Eh no, this is for Cindy not for me. Earlier, the security guard said there was a shipment for Cindy," Bella explained, giving flowers and a greeting card to Cindy.

"I went to the toilet first, I couldn't stand it" Bella said, then hurried away.

Cindy and Clara looked at each other. After the package that Jessy sent at that time they were a little traumatized, they were afraid the gift was dangerous. But after many times observing nothing suspicious. Cindy opened the card.

You are the lantern of my life

You are white in my dark

You are the smile in my tears

You are strong in my weakness

You are everything

You're my woman...

May you never forget me. I love you always, whenever.

Cindy was stunned after reading it. Clara immediately grabbed the greeting card and read it, she looked at Cindy full of question marks.

"Who are you from, brother?" ask Clara curiously.

"I don't know either, there's no sender's name" he replied.

"It may be Mr. Andre who wants to surprise, romantic also he turned out," said Clara to draw conclusions.

"Why do you keep quiet, you don't like it?" clara asked astonished at the attitude of her silent brother.

"Clara, what if it wasn't Andre who sent it but Bima?" ask Cindy flat.

Clara gasped at Cindy's words, finally understanding why Cindy suddenly fell silent.
