The Incomplete Love

“Daddy, Sunday I have a soccer match. Daddy same Mommy watch, yes,” pinta Liam while scooping ice cream with flavor cookies dough his favorite.

“Oh yes dong, Daddy and Mommy will watch,” reply Liam while cleaning the mouth of his aprons.

“Later Mommy bring drinks for your team. On the likes of strawberry juice right?”

Liam's eyes sparkled.

“Yay! Yes my friends all love Mommy.”'s strawberry juice

Devan and Stella smiled to see their son laughing happily. Devan rattled the hair of his seven-year-old son.

For almost seven years, he had not met Liam. Since their accidental meeting, Devan decided to try to get closer to his son.

Devan recalled how hurt Liam was when he saw himself with Kala. The man sighed remembering Qiara and Kala whom he had not seen for a long time.

The man felt guilty towards Qiara and Kala. For two years he was always present in the life of the mother and the child. He knows the habits of Kala.

Now he looked at Liam, even just a few minutes ago he knew his son was on the football team.

Devan decides to stay away from Qiara and Kala. He never returned calls or messages from Qiara. Although it could not be denied, he often thought about Qiara.

With Qiara, Devan felt calm. Qiara makes him always look at positive things. Qiara's cheerfulness makes Devan's heart always feel light every time they meet.

Until Devan learns that in Qiara's heart there is still her ex-husband. He does not want to repeat the mistake.

Moreover, now there is Liam who is very expecting his presence. Stella says that her relationship with Nick is over and she is ready to knit happiness with him. Building their little family.

Devan gasped at the figure of the hooded woman who these two years had always been on his mind. Qiara walked into the restaurant with her office friends.

I don't know why his heart beats so much. Surprisingly while with Stella, he only felt the presence of the woman. There were no more vibrations that he felt like before.

Stella quietly followed Devan's line of sight. He bit his lips in anger. Then Stella turned her eyes to Liam who was still cool with her ice cream.

“Quiet, Liam. Mommy won't let a woman who doesn't know herself snatch Daddy from us.” Mumbled wailing.

Qiara sat a little far away from them. But Devan can still see women who look beautiful and cheerful as usual. Her heart warmed every time she saw Qiara laughing with her friends.

“Dev, do you want the cake again?”

“Daddy try double chocolate cake, great.”

Devan sighed then looked towards Liam and Stella. He could no longer think of Qiara for Liam.

Qiara went into the toilet to wash her hands. Not long after a beautiful woman came in. Stella.

“I told you, right? It's easy for me to get Devan back to his knees.”

Stella stared at her reflection in the glass. Her body was tall, her brown hair was shiny, beautifully sheathed. Thin makeup, but his face still looks charming.

The famous model opened her little bag and took out lipstick. A little touch up, and his lips look perfect again.

“I'm glad your family is back in one piece. Must be Liam happy.”

Stella stared at Qiara's reflection from the mirror.

“No need to pretend well.”

“Stella, we've only met three times. What the hell made you antagonize me? Didn't you know that when Devan and I were close, you were divorced a long time ago. Yes, I do like Devan, but it's not wrong because he's not attached to you. I even intend to help you.”

Stella laughed cynically.

“I don't need your help. After all, you are not a competitor to me. I'm surprised Devan might like you. But look, in a matter of days, Devan is back in my arms. For him you are just like a nurse who guides him back to normal walking.”

Qiara's heart was pierced.

Again Stella looked at Qiara with a condescending look. His hands straighten his hair. Compared to Stella, Qiara's appearance was indeed much simpler.

“I pray for your happiness. Excuse me.” Finally Qiara replied with a choked voice.

The woman rushed out of the toilet with teary eyes. He walked down not realizing that someone was stunned to see him rubbing the corner of his net.

“Qiara .. “

Qiara's steps came to a halt, hearing a voice that she apparently missed.

“Hi Dev, sorry I was in a hurry. Bye!”

Qiara greeted Devan, with all her might holding back tears and trying to make her voice not shake. He then returned to his desk. Friends were waiting for him to return to the office.

Devan's gaze continued to follow Qiara and unconsciously Stella was already in front of him.

“Hey Babe, let’s go. Liam is waiting ..”

Stella takes a friendly. Some diners secretly took pictures of the two of them.

Australian social media is buzzing with Devan and Stella. A pair of handsome and beautiful humans who now often appear everywhere with Liam, their only child.

Qiara looked at Devan's radiant face. In the past, Devan told me how sick and disappointed he was but there was still love for Stella.

Devan's story is very familiar to Qiara. The disappointment and heartache of Thoriq for remarrying, but his love was still so great that he chose to accept sharing a husband with Hanna.

“Qiara, somebody here wants to see you,” says Marcel, his men, disperse the reverie of Qiara.

“Mrs Donavy! How are you?” Qiara stood up to greet Dian, the mother of Devan.

“I’m good my dear, how are you?” Dian answered kindly and then kissed Qiara's cheek.

“I'm good, Mam. Please sit.”

“I told you, call Dian. We are not in Indonesia, so do not use bu, aunt, mam.” Dian smiled as she looked around Qiara's study.

“A surprise once you come, anything I can help you with?”

“You know now Devan and Stella are back together, we are very happy to be able to meet Liam at any time.”

“Oh yes, I read the news,” Qiara wonder why Dian suddenly talked about Devan and Stella.

“I represent my husband Phil, who asked this office to replace you with another consultant.”

Qiara's forehead wrinkled.

“I'm sure you like each other. I humbly ask you to step down. Let Devan, Stella, and Liam be happy. We will give the highest appreciation for your work, only for the next hotel projects, we ask others who work on.”

Qiara's throat was blocked. People say that we will appreciate something or someone if we no longer have.

Qiara has not been able to determine whether she has unknowingly fallen in love with Devan in her last year. Now clearly, Qiara felt sad again.

“No worries, I'll talk to Mario and Jess. May Devan, Stella, and Liam be happy.” Qiara smiled at Dian.

“I. Because of you, Devan became the spirit to practice and now has almost recovered as usual. Thank you for making Devan's days cheerful again. Say kiss dear to Kala.”

Dian stood up and hugged Qiara, after saying goodbye, the woman left the office.

Qiara sighed. He saw the clock, it was just about noon. He needs to talk to someone.

“Alya, assalamualaykum ..”

“Hey you from down under.. What's the Qi? You alright?”

“Devan reverse with Stella. And I'm sad. Not ... Not because I lost to Stella. I think I really have fallen in love with Devan and I just realized.”

“Aaaw, Qi. Sorry ..”

“Yeah, me too. Good thing, surely Liam is very happy to be the same father again.”

“Yeah, Qi, you've been thinking about Liam. Very good anyway.”

“Yes Liam's fate is like my son, Al.”

“Qi, take it easy yes. You have Kala now. Don't be too sad.”

“Sad me anyway, like a very new bego realize kl actually I like the same Devan.” Qiara rubbed her gloomy face.

“Sshh, sshh, everything will be alright. Lu sings with Kala gih. Then, Qi, make this a lesson. You can't open your heart. Love is coming together, there is happiness, there is suffering. You should be ready to make both, okay?”

“In the Lord. Thanks, Al. Met karajo, Nyet!”

“Met nyesel, Nyet!”

The two friends chuckled before ending the phone conversation.

“Bunaa, Kala wants Uncle Devan.”

“When you want to chat what?”

“When you want to ask why Uncle does not play the same time again ..”

Qiara's heart throbbed.

“Kala, Darling. Who met Uncle Devan in Sydney? Name's Liam. Uncle Devan and Liam have not seen each other for a long time. Now they're again kangeenan.”

“Oh. Kala also miss Uncle Devan, Buna,” said the boy softly, leaning his head on Qiara's shoulders.

“Iya, Darling. Same time Buna yes.”

“Buna, when did Kala meet Aya?”

Qiara's heart almost stopped beating. She hugged her son tightly. Qiara introduced Thoriq as a father to Kalandra through photographs.

Slowly, Qiara answered that difficult question. He wants to be honest. “Buna doesn't know yet. Same with Buna, yeah. If it's time to meet Aya, Buna will tell you.”

“Kala kayak Liam. Meet Aya ..”

Said the boy softly.

“Buna too. We keep praying, baby. Hopefully we can meet Aya.”

Kala nodded slowly and closed his eyes, imagining playing ball with his father.
