After returning to Melbourne, Qiara rarely spoke or met Devan. Ever since accidentally meeting Liam, it seems Devan has been dodging.
Qiara sat in her study. He is now one of the leaders of MJ Design. He looked at his computer screen. His mind continued to drift to Devan.
Finally he sent a message.
Dev, I have a rug fit for the corridor upstairs. I'm dropping off this afternoon, Dad.
Qiara waited for a reply. He knew Devan had read the message but did not reply. Qiara then continued her work.
A message from an unknown number came in.
I'm Stella. When can we talk?
Qiara frowned, not expecting Stella to be able to get her number.
Tomorrow. Cafe Le Quartier at 11:00
Qiara stared far out the window of her study. Suddenly his heart felt empty.
***
Qiara sits at Cafe Le Quartier. Deliberately come faster to calm down. His friends disagree that he is too deeply involved in the problems between Devan and Stella. There is no connection between Qiara and Devan.
Qiara sipped the affogato slowly.
“I don't think you came. I want to talk briefly. Whatever your relationship with Devan please step down. I will fight for our relationship for Liam.”
Qiara looked at the beautiful woman sitting in front of her, looking at her with a condescending look. Qiara would not want to feel inferior. Stella, a famous model with a perfect face shape and plenary makeup.
Qiara's forehead wrinkled. He knows he has nothing to do with Devan, but when Stella tells him to step back, there is a fear of loss tucking in his heart.
“I have nothing to do with Devan.”
“Don't be hypocritical. Love is nothing new to you anymore. Devan stopped watching me and Liam since your son was born. Getting back to Devan is easy. He hasn't completely moved on. I can see it in his eyes.”
“You're married again right?”
“Nick? Hah, we separated a year ago. Anyway, it's none of your business. It's the first and last warning, go from Devan's life!”
Stella stood up looking at the order affogato Qiara then smiled disdainfully. He whispered in Qiara's ear, “You are definitely not his taste. Don't dream of pairing with Devan.”
Qiara bit her lip staring at the model who stepped gracefully like walking on a catwalk.
“Wait!”
Stella stopped her steps, turning her head towards Qiara with a questioning look.
“What else is it?”
Qiara stood up, calmly walking towards Stella.
“Wah, two years means Devan harbors a taste for me, yes. I never dreamed of pairing with him. At first I wanted to talk to you, but well, I think we better see who Devan chooses. I accompany him to rise or you who have left him in a state of slump. And by the way, the affogato here is really good. Try it, so you don't get too cungkring.”
Qiara put down two pieces of banknotes, enough to pay for two affogato glasses herself and Stella. Then passed giving the best smile to the woman who was burning with anger.
Inside the taxi Qiara was shaking.
“Yes Allah, I can bitchy it turns .. ” Inner while chuckling.

“Surprisingly, the more days I am more comfortable with him, but I still doubt ..”
Since helping with Kala's birth, Devan has been a frequent presence in the lives of Qiara and Kala. They tell stories about their days, exchange ideas, sometimes complain. Qiara also always encouraged Devan to heal.
“Don't say that you're still as simple as the heartache of Thoriq! Qi, not all men like him, mcla-mence.” Sambar Ella's fiery.
Qiara sighed then replied, “Iye iye, if this one is a talent so refrigerator, cold, jutek, fierce.”
“So like it or not?” Marianne asked curiously
“Mmmm .. which I said earlier, there is a sense of liking but doubt. It used to be the same time Mas Thoriq, he was a complete package. Complete package, handsome, pinter, religious obedience, protective. If the same Devan, I was a lot of raunya, Ma'am. His emotions like to be unstable, ” replied Qiara trying to dig up her feelings.
“Gue think you're really new at the comfortable stage. In my opinion, you're fighting the Stella Sotoy. Lu that's too good a person, Qi. Kayak used to fit Thoriq married Hanna, willingly pitted. You should be raging, Thoriq threatened, terror Hanna.” Marianne was suddenly emotional
“Hush, Mba Anne why suddenly hurry?” Chirping Cherish.
“Capslock her squeeze!” Seloroh Alya followed by the laughter of the six friends.
Qiara.
“Qi, sorry yes, Ma'am so ingetin the same incident first.”
“Honestly, I didn't think about what I was. But I'm thinking about Devan's feelings again. I don't know if he likes it or doesn't.”.
“Like, Qi, you're all dodol.” Answer the five.
“Well if I just want to fight Stella, evil is not PHP-in him? Continue if until the end it turns out I have not had a crush?”
Marianne replied, “Qi, I think just take it easy. Well now you explore your feelings and her feelings. If you finally like each other, you'll have each other, and please kick Stella for us. Even if you don't have a crush, yes udin sik, there is still Jeremy.”
“Jer? Yeah, envelope, he's younger, huh. By two years!”
“But he has a crush on you. Qi, Mba, your life is comfortable now. Maybe it's time you open your heart.”
Qiara looked at the sleeping face of Kala next to her. The child's mouth was open, one hand tucked under the pillow. Just like his father.
“I tried, yes. So wish me luck, ladies.”
***
Devan read many times the message from Qiara.
Dev, how are you?
Dev, I have a rug fit for the corridor upstairs. I'm dropping off this afternoon, Dad.
I hope you're better. Call me if you need someone to talk to.
After that, no more incoming messages.
“Qiara, why do I always imagine you. If only you could forget your ex. I will love you with all my heart.”
Devan closed his eyes then let out a long sigh. His finger typed a message.
“Let’s meet Stella. I miss you, too.”
