The Incomplete Love

The Incomplete Love
I Know …


Stella smiled cynically to see Qiara, Lisa, and Phil discussing the lobby of the office building with an environmentally friendly concept.


The interior that Qiara created supports architecture that accentuates natural light. Industrial style that emphasizes the concept of semi-finished blending beautifully with vertical gardens that cool the eyes.


Qiara also placed long benches at some point to bring together the concept of outer space inward.


The five-storey building lobby, although not yet fully completed, has even been entered into interior design magazines.


Phil just felt something was lacking with the staircase area. As an environmentally friendly building, although there are still elevators that are a means to go up and down each floor, but Phil wants to highlight the stairs to each floor.


“Qia, it's like not connecting the design.”


Qiara thought while looking at the area of tangfa that was only polished cement that had already been leveled.


“Rubber, Phil, this area the atmosphere is too cold. Though we want the workers prefer stairs rather than elevators.”


Jessica, a partner from MJ where Qiara used to work said, “What if we put some plants on the edge of the stairs?”


“But Jess, later will reduce the usable area.”


Qiara climbed the stairs.


“Wait, Qia. I take you to the top,” exclaimed Phil saw his daughter-in-law had climbed some stairs.


Stella looked on with envy.


“What a special thing is Qiara, until all keep and pay attention to it. Ordinary time, pregnant doang..” he said in his heart while grunting quietly.


Phil accompanied Qiara who was trying to feel the atmosphere that would be built for the area.


He looked around. Indeed, the stairs become an area that does not blend if left as it is now.


“Jess, can we make this area as if it were a footpath? We can also put the type of outstretched plant at some point of the ladder handle.”


“That’s interesting.”


They then engaged in an exciting discussion until an agreement was reached.


“Jasmine, please bring mineral water to Qiara,” orders Lisa to see Qiara coughed several times.


“Good, Lady Lisa.” Stella held back her emotions. He had to walk a long way to get mineral water. When he returned, he did not see Qiara in the lobby.


“Qiara is on the fourth floor with Lisa,” said Zaniff, Phil's assistant waiting on the ground floor.


The fourth floor was a cafeteria, similar to the lobby atmosphere, Qiara managed to blend industrial style and green concept well.


Stella saw Qiara standing on the balcony. He walked closer.


“Qiara, here's the drink,” he said friendly.


“Thank you, Jasmine, huh? My son Liam told me about you.


“Yes, Mam,” Jasmine reached out to shake hands. Smiling amiably while hiding a bubbling rage hearing Qiara mention Liam is her son.


“Can you accompany me here for a moment?” Pinta Qiara after gulping down her drinking water.


“Good, Mam.”


“Call Qiara aja, we're the longest, right?” He said with a smile and his friendly eyes.


Stella agreed. “Sorry my leniency, Qiara, you look sad. Is there anything you need?”


“Oh no, I only have a problem that I left in Melbourne.”


“I'm sure whatever it is, there must be a way out.”


Qiara turned her head towards the woman she knew as Jasmine. The bob-haired woman looked at him while smiling sincerely.


Afraid of recognition, Stella raises the large glasses she wears. He deliberately wears a rather thick makeup that makes himself look kampungan.


Want to divert the conversation from the news circulating, Qiara said, “Liam said you cool.”


“Oh Liam, he's a good boy. I just drove him to the toilet and we talked for a while. My brother is a kid and loves Thor. So I know a little bit about that character,” Stella chuckles. Obviously, he understood because he used to accompany Liam.


He even asked for the signature of the actor who played Thor on Liam's shirt. Stella immediately turned her face away as she felt her eyes warm. He misses his happy moments with Liam.


“You miss your sister, yes?”


“We are very close, I have to leave it. But working at Donavy's company is very important for my future career.”


“You're from Melbourne?”


“Oh, no, I wander. Before I came to Australia, I was in Turkey. Mam, the cooler the air, the better you get in.” Stella did not want Qiara to ask any further.


“Betul too, Devan can get angry if I stand for too long.”


Stella clenched her hands restraining herself from pushing Qiara.


“Be careful, Qiara, the floor is still slippery after polishing,” attentively he guides Qiara in.


With the gesture of keeping Qiara in check, Stella took a quick step on her foot. Unknowingly, Qiara offset Stella's steps.


“Mrs Qiara!” Stella screams as Qiara slips. Some workers immediately ran over to help Qiara who was still sprawled while holding her stomach.


“Get a stretchcher downstair!” Mandor's orders.


Qiara repeatedly took a breath. I don't feel tears flowing. Stella silently smiled thinly even though she acted continuously to protect and serve Qiara.


“Drink a little, to make it quieter.”


He opened a bottle of mineral water giving to Qiara who immediately drank a few sips.


A few workers came with push-cages followed by Phil and Lisa who looked at Qiara anxiously and frantically.


“Qiara, oh my God, what happened Jasmine?” Screeches Lisa.


“Not her fault, Lisa, I slipped. May be I walked too fast.”


“Should we get an ambulance? Call an ambulance!” Phil propped up Qiara's shoulders.


“Help me, Dad. We call an ambulance if I can't stand.” Despite trying to calm down, Stella caught a panicked tone in Qiara's voice.


Slowly Qiara tried to get up on Phil's back. Her knees felt limp, Qiara continued to catch her breath. Until he finally stood up straight.


“Mam, please lay down on the strecher,” foreman. Some workers immediately prepared to push the gurney towards the already operating elevator.


Slowly, Qiara climbed the branch. He was thankful he felt nothing in his stomach.


“We're going to the hospital, yes. Daddy doesn't want to take any risks.”


“Devan told you, he's headed to Perth with Liam and Kala.”


Stella's heart thumped hearing Devan and Liam's name called. He stood a bit behind following the group that took Qiara to the car and headed straight for the hospital.


Hape Qiara.


“Waalaykumussalam, I do not feel pain in the stomach, thank God. Devan, sorry .. sorry I worried.”


“I want to be there with you. Wait I'm heading to the airport. Qiara, Kala is very worried about you, she wants to talk.”


“Buna ..” Kala's face meets the hape screen making Qiara smile.


“Buna equals jatoh? How can?”


Lisa and Phil reflexively looked at Jasmine who was at the location where Qiara had fallen. They did not think to find out the cause of the fall and focused more on the condition of Qiara.


“Buna slipped, prayer for Buna and baby grandpa, yes.”


“When to get there, Buna, don't be afraid.”


Qiara smiled, her heart calmer now. “See you soon. All of you fii amanillah, safe trip.”


At the hospital, Phil and Lisa ask Jasmine/Stella to explain what happened to the examining doctor.


Doctors understand because at the age of pregnancy that goes into the third trimester, pregnant women sometimes lose balance.


“I installed the baby's heartbeat tool first new after that in USG.”


All breathing was relieved because the baby's heartbeat was still normal. USG is all normal. The doctor gave the pain-relieving ointment because Qiara complained of pain in her back.


“Jasmine, please find the best room. Qiara will stay tonight.”


“Dad, I can go home after Devan and the kids until.”


“No, Qiara, Daddy think you're resting tonight for observation.”


“Quick, Jasmine, take care of everything so that Qiara can rest immediately.”


Stella cursed the fate of her who is now a man. Bad luck started since Qiara was present.


Towards the admissions officer, he called someone, “Do the next attack.”

Dian read the newly appeared news headline. “A Gold Digger in The Donavy’s” then old photo of Qiara from her social media page. Qiara with her simplicity is juxtaposed with her current photo with Devan's branded clothes and bag in front of the mansion.


Qiara's in-laws massaged her forehead. From the beginning of her child's marriage was reported, there was not a single piece of sloping news.


“Why now?”


He knew that Qiara was not a shopper. All the things Devan and Dian bought were kept neat. He only wears one bag that was given as a handover at his wedding first.


The mercurial Qiara prefers to wear sneakers rather than expensive shoes that end up staying neat on her cardboard. Although she can come to socialite parties, Qiara prefers to be at home to cook for Devan.


Dian called someone. “Della, has there been an investigation of my son-in-law?”


Della, the PR manager in the Donavy Group replied, “Afternoon, Mam, we will meet with reporters who released photos of Mrs Qiara and Jeremy. We are also ready with a statement from Jeremy that he and Qiara have never had anything to do.”


“We can sue back the media that spread lies.”


“Indeed it could be, but here the perception towards Lady Qiara was already stained with the sloping news. We sedanf made a strategy to flip everything.”


“Good, thank you. Call me for any developments.”


“Ready, Mistress.”

“Buna,” call Kala. Lisa then put her index finger in front of her lips.


“Your mom is sleeping.”


A cute tiptoed kala entered Qiara's treatment room. Lisa and Phil had to hold back a laugh. Devan and Liam followed behind.


“Dev, Daddy sorry ..”


“Indeed should happen, Dad. I'm glad my wife and baby are okay,” Devan replied in a whisper.


Kala had climbed up the bed and slept curled up next to the Bunanya. Favorite position.


Qiara slept soundly. Not feeling the movement of Kala. Devan kissed Qiara's forehead to coincide with Stella who had just entered the room.


“Jasmine,” call Liam see his new friend.


A little nervous, Jasmine stepped in to greet Liam and nodded respectfully at Devan. Her heart pinched seeing the position of her ex-husband was stroking the head of Qiara and kissed her forehead many times.


“Hai Liam, a minute yes. Miss Lisa, this is the file you requested. If nothing is needed I will wait in the cafeteria below.”


Lisa nodded. Devan looked at the woman with big glasses. I don't know why she suddenly felt bad.


“I'm sorry.”


“Bye Jasmine ..” Liam smiled waving a hand. Stella smiled and walked out. He wanted to linger with Liam but was afraid his disguise would be revealed. Devan has lived with him.


“Wait!”


Stella's heart almost fell out.


“You were with my wife when she fell? What happened?”


Stella's heart stopped beating, she tried to calm herself down.


“We are walking in the area of the newly finished cafeteria polished. Lady Qiara slipped, Mr.”


Devan frowned. He had asked Jack to check if there was CCTV lit in the area and it did not exist.


“I hope Mrs Qiara and her baby are healthy, Sir. Excuse me get out first,” he added while moving towards the door.


“Jasmine, wait,” Liam call.


“Dad, can I go to the cafeteria with Jasmine. I'm gonna go get a sandwich. Hungry, Dad.”


Devan who was still in doubt looked at Jasmine with probing eyes.


Lisa said, “Dev, it's okay, Jasmine can drive Liam. Maybe he wants to eat other foods too. Jasmine, you used a corporate card to pay for my niece's granddaughter's food.”


“Good, Lady Lisa.”


“I'm just for a minute, Dad.”


Jasmine's hands suddenly cold. This is really beyond her expectations. Liam took her out of the room. Don't take their hands off till they're on the ground floor.


“Mom, I know it’s you. I'm not going to tell anyone where Mommy came from that promise not to go again. Please ...”


Stella's eyes warmed up, she said nothing, only tightening her grip on the hands of her son Liam.
