Dare To Love 59. Looking Away
59. Looking AwayUnexpectedly, while enjoying the food on her plate, Lea made eye contact with Shane. Yes, that's right, it's Shane! Almost choking, Lea coughed a little in surprise at the sight of the man who had been looming over her mind. He leaned against the bartender's table and looked straight at Lea with his eagle eyes.When they met, Shane spontaneously looked away, but a moment later, as if he couldn't contain his curiosity, his sharp eyes returned to Lea. The intense gaze continued for several moments without either of them being able to break it.Two pairs of eyes yearning for each other conveyed everything without words. However, the pride of both prevented their brains from understanding the message. Hindered by the high selfishness of each of them, who still considered each other to be of no interest at all. Deceiving each other by maintaining their ignorance."Lea!" Daniel called her name several times, but there was no response, so the man followed the direction of Le

Meanwhile, Shane came home grumpy. His intention to prepare to meet Lea since the afternoon was disappointing because he was sure she would come to Freddie's party, which could have been better. Mrs. Kate, who was sitting in the living room, saw her son's troubled look and asked calmly,"What's the matter?""Nothing, Mom." Quickly, even too quickly, Shane replied curtly."It's okay; it's like you've never ironed your face," Mrs Kate commented in response to her son's bluntness."Uh, it's never been ironed, of course. It's a face, not a shirt.""Hahaha ... well, you know. When you fold your face like that, it looks like a wrinkled shirt that hasn't been ironed. Come on tell me, what's wrong? After the party, you're sullen and grumpy instead of smiling and bringing me a future daughter-in-law. Mrs. Kate questioned Shane again.Shane let out a long, heavy sigh."Do you remember the girl Freddie introduced to me? The one I said was stiff and celebratory..." Shane opens his story to his mo

It was only during the lunch break that Shane took the time to review sheet after sheet of data files on the door prize winners. There were also many lists of winners."What's the name of that Miss Purple character?" He remembered the girl's costume. But he remembered instead the warmth of the girl's body when she was in his arms during the dance and the slender curve of her waist that felt right in Shane's fingers. Oh shit, he was going to miss her to death.She pushed all the unflattering thoughts out of her mind. He concentrated on researching the winners' names one by one to see if there was a character that Miss Purple could use."Ah, this is Violet Lady. What is she, huh?" Shane wondered. It was a good thing that he was alone in his room. Otherwise, they might have thought he was crazy, muttering to himself.He searched for Lady Violet's data. Her real name was Jenni Liana, complete with a phone number.Shane hesitated. Was it true that the Miss Purple she referred to was also t

"I'm distraught, you know. Take responsibility!" Grace confronted her sister in her room.After the event, Grace did not go straight to her room. She was very concerned about how Freddie was doing at the party. Her jealousy was at its peak, and if she could, she wanted to go back there to see for herself what Freddie was doing there without her.She went back and forth, asking for a video call with his lover. Freddie honestly said that he was saying hello to some of his male friends and had no intention of dancing with any woman other than Grace. Still, Grace was very suspicious of him.“Oh, come on, you're too much. That was Freddie's VC an hour earlier, too. You still don't believe it, do you?" scolded Lea, who was getting tired of seeing her sister pacing back and forth in front of her while stamping her feet several times impatiently."Ish, you don't know. There's Alma over there, sis. She's a lizard-stamped looking for Freddie to flirt with. She's always had a crush on Freddie. Hu

On Monday, when Freddie finally had time to call Shane to talk about Lea, it was unexpected."Are you having lunch? Am I bothering you?" Freddie greeted after Shane took his call."Oh, it's okay. I haven't eaten yet. I'm just here doing something," Shane replied mysteriously."Wow. What's that? Are you serious, do you want some help?" Freddie asked, just in case he could find out more about what his friend was doing."Well, yes, I need help. But you weren't at the masquerade party, were you?""What? The masquerade party? The event a few weeks ago? The one where Grace mocked me for a week?""What? mocked you for a week?""You know! Because I didn't get the ticket, I wasn't allowed to see her for a week. It's awful, I swear.""Eh? Haha, then I think this will be good for you.""What is it?""Yes, so there will be a Masquerade Party Part 2, but those who will attend are those who came in Part 1, and they also have to stay in the same costume as in Part 1.""You? That's crazy to make a pa

"Want some, sis?" Grace grabbed the arm of Lea, who was standing in her room thinking. Grace's invitation from Daniel had come rather suddenly and had also taken her by surprise."Uh, it's not allowed by mom and dad," Lea replied skeptically. She had wanted to go to Bali for a long time. She just needed to find the right time or the right travel companion. Amanda had gone there on business, and when she invited Lea, she couldn't go because she was so busy at the office that she didn't feel comfortable asking for time off for non-urgent matters."Ah, I will help me talk to Mom and Dad. I think it's okay if I go with Brother Daniel. There are business interests there as well. Not for fun," Grace answered Lea's doubts.A moment later, Mrs. Anna called for them to come for dinner. They quickly went downstairs to the kitchen and dining room, where Mrs. Anna and Mr. Adam were waiting at the dining room table."Uh, Lea came down too? Did you eat meatballs after work earlier?" Mrs. Anna repri

After work that day, Daniel picked Lea up from the office and stopped by to meet with Mr. Adam to fulfill his order to ask permission to take Lea to Bali in person.He had prepared detailed reasons and a convincing narrative to prove that he would not jeopardize his daughter's safety.Mr. Adam immediately cleared the way for Daniel to be more relaxed in the discussion. The wise man jokingly said to open the conversation."Ah, this is the man who dared to take my daughter to Bali for two days, huh?"Daniel immediately responded with a light-hearted reply,"I'm sorry, Uncle. But this man has proven sound and dares to keep his promise to bring back your daughter as perfect as before she left.”Daniel's relaxed but responsible way of speaking convinced Mr. Adam. After all, he also believed that Lea could take care of herself."Haha, well then. I’ll giving yande as well as a test. If something is broken, you'll know who you're dealing with." The threat, spoken lightly but with a firm warni

"Ish, it's different, Lea. PKL is a campus event. There's a chaperone and lots of friends. There's a lot of chaperones there, too."Ms. Anna persisted with her worries."Well...isn't Lea going?"Lea finally got annoyed at being pestered by Ms. I'm worried about you anyway. I'm afraid because I love you. I don't want anything wrong to happen to you, dear."In a lower tone, Mrs. Anna revealed the reason. Lea was silent. When that's the case, the mother always wins the argument with all her theories of love—the ultimate weapon of mothers in Bella. After finishing the packing scene, which was emotionally draining and invited some heated arguments, Lea finally had to obey her mother's command to sleep early that night after dinner. Mrs. Anna reminded her to get up early tomorrow and leave right away. Be on time and take the plane. And all sorts of warnings that made Lea's ears prick up and automatically duck into the room for peace. Then Grace came to Lea's akaamr to deliver a long list of sou

"Don't run around, darling. You'll fall."Lea tried to catch up with Gina who was running around in the middle of the yard; although it was a little tricky because of her bulging belly, she still tried to catch up with the princess. Shane, who saw this from inside the house, immediately ran out and approached them in a hurry."Honey, don't bother Mommy," Shane said as he grabbed Gina and carried her in his arms."Dad, how come the others haven't come yet? It's been a long time," Gina said playfully.At only five years old, Gina is already brilliant. Neither Lea nor Shane expected their first daughter to be as talkative as her mother, but as wise as her father."Later, soon the others will come. That's why Gina must be a good girl. Don't be naughty and don't run around, poor mama," Shane continued, pointing at Lea.Lea smiled back as she stroked her growing belly. She was truly thankful that her second pregnancy had not been like her first. Even though it was her second pregnancy, Lea
Dare To Love 87. The Wedding
"Oh my, aunt. Anyway, Lea doesn't want to be dressed up like that, ah. Mom, please tell Aunt Dina. I just want flawless makeup, like Grace usually has. That's my final decision!" Lea said emphatically. She had yet to expect that there would still be complicated problems on the wedding day."But this is a good MUA, you know, Se. As a bride, you can't have flawless makeup makeup, it can be less amazing later. Oh my, Grace. Here, tell your sister!" Mrs. Anna called to her youngest child, who was busy with some bridal accessories for her sister."Sizt Lea, please, no need to protest here and there. Just accept it. It will be good." Grace said, reassuring her sister, who did not like makeup at all. All her life, she only wanted to be made up by Grace, and that, too, with many demands, must be subtle, not be minor, and must be as natural as possible.Lea took a deep breath and let it out harshly. The MUA seemed indifferent and continued preparing all her equipment, which had been thoroughly
Dare To Love 86. Wedding Plans
"So what's the date?" asked Lea on the other end of the line."The 25th," replied Shane, looking at the calendar he was holding.Shane's extended family on his mother's grandmother's side, had many customs and beliefs in the village. They asked for Shane's and Lea's birth dates and then calculated the most appropriate wedding day, which they believed would guarantee the couple's happiness.At first, Shane and Lea laughed it off, but thanks to Mrs. Kate's coercion not to disappoint the elders, they agreed when she said the twenty-fifth of April was their wedding date."That's exactly one month from now, isn't it?" asked Lea. There was both excitement and fear in her voice. Excited because the time was getting closer for her to be side by side with Shane. But she was also afraid because she still had a lot of preparation to do.Lea and Shane agreed not to use a wedding planner because they wanted to care for everything themselves. From choosing the decor for their reception room in the
Dare To Love 85. The Dishes
"Mommy's sick. So I'm out of the office today," Shane told Lea, who immediately became anxious in her office."Duh, what's wrong with Aunty?""Meriang malarindu, wkwkwk. Papa left her with Grandma two days ago. I had to stay there and meet some distant family." Shane explained the chronology."How come Auntie didn't come?""Mom wasn't feeling well before Dad left. That's why she decided to go alone. Eh, Daddy made her even more sick.""Hmm ... then I'll stop by on my way home. What does Aunty usually like to eat? Let me bring it with me."Lea offered. "That's okay. You don't have to bring food. Mommy's the type who doesn't like to eat out anyway. You'd better cook for her here. It'll be more special. Uh, but if you're not tired. I just got off work." Shane replied as he was."Hmm ... never mind. I'll think about it while I'm there. Okay, I'll go to work first. It's already the bell," Lea said, although it wasn't yet. It's still a while. It's just that she hung
Dare To Love 84. The Third Person
After expressing their feelings to each other, Shane and Lea finally stop lying about their feelings. Yes, they are getting married!A chat message that came to Lea's phone that night spontaneously kept her awake all night.It was a poem from Daniel that read beautifully, he said,Dissolved in an increasingly entangling lonelinessWhen your body can no longer be held tightlyDark shadows in the futureAs if the promise of wounds of despair will unfold aloneFor without you, oh idol...Maybe it's good for me to goRelease the weariness that reignsFor there seems to be no place hereWhere no shadow of you is always clearJust a shadow, without a body, without a soul..."Lea squeezed her cell phone, trying to feel the man's heartache on the other side. Then, she could not answer anything. Just an apology with a crying emoticon, which she sent as a form of regret.Amanda had called him earlier in the day and told him that Daniel was planning to go abroad after his time in the city jail t
Dare To Love 83. Threatened
Meanwhile, Lea, who had been grabbed again by the tall, bald man with many tattoos on his arms, tried to escape but could not move at all. He knew that the thug's strength was no match for him."Go after him! Martin's son can't escape!" The heavy baritone voice of the thug blocked Lea's movements by twisting her hands behind her back. His voice was grim and sinister. Lea shuddered at the sound.When she saw Shane running away, she also understood that this was Shane's attempt to survive and that he would surely come back to save her somehow."Ah, shit!" Lea cursed as she was pushed into the black APV and locked from the outside. Meanwhile, the thugs seemed to be helping to chase Shane."What did he say? Martin's son?" Lea thought, alone in the car.Who is Martin? Is that the name of Shane's father? Is that why they were kidnapped? Does it have something to do with Shane's father? There were many questions in Lea's mind, but she couldn't find any answers.She was surprised when a phone
Dare To Love 82. Run Away
All these instructions rang in Lea's ears. The tension was overwhelming, making it difficult for her mind to work. All she could do was nod her head uncertainly.Shane looked at Lea and hissed softly, "Take your shoes off. Hurry up. You can't run fast in those heels!"Lea immediately obeyed Shane and took off her shoes, now standing barefoot. Oh, how strange she must look. A balloon dress underneath with bare feet. Damn it! It was good that the dress was short and allowed her to run fast and unhindered.Then things got out of control again. The sound of footsteps and shoes rubbing on the tiled floor began. Racing against her heart, which seemed pounding, Lea tried to focus her ears. She had to gather her strength in one place, in both hands, which were in a pose ready to swing the chair leg forcefully at the neck of the first person to enter later.One--two--hears the jingle of keys being inserted, then the doorknob is turned, and jeglekk, the door opens. Shane's eyes signalled as if
Dare To Love 81. Getting Closer
81. Getting closerTheir eyes met. Lea's brown irises met Shane's bluish irises, which stared at Lea's two thick eyebrows, which, even with makeup, seemed to be connected in the middle."When you wear makeup, don't you have to shave that middle eyebrow?" Shane's index finger stroked the middle of Lea's eyebrow above her nose. There was a fine line of hair that met there. It was very special to him.Mubarak! Lea pushed Shane's body away spontaneously."Okee... your comment ruined the atmosphere! That's annoying! You can't be so insulting about everything I do, huh?" Suddenly angry because, for a moment, she thought Shane was going to say something cute or at least not absurd. But he did!Shane gasped in shock. Even though he made a typical comment, that's a fair question, isn't it? She wondered."What the hell? Why the sudden anger? Who insulted you?" Shane protested, not understanding."Ish! What a block of ice!" Lea swore as she turned to face Shane. She crossed her arms over her che

80. Escape PlanShane turned to the girl who was scowling behind his back."Duh, sorry..." he said later, realizing that his words were a bit inappropriate for their situation."Tumbenan can apologize? Kesambet, huh?" said Lea with a smile."Oh my God! It's hard to talk to you. I'm as stiff as a block of ice. If I soften, you'll say it's kesambet. What do you want?" Shane shook his head, unable to understand the mindset of a girl who, unfortunately, no matter how complicated, still filled so much space in his heart that it left no room for other girls.For a moment, their eyes met. If only silence could solve it. Lea wanted them both to shut up and understand each other's feelings. After all, every time they argued, the result was always an endless, heated debate."I think it's better if we don't talk to each other," Lea replied sceptically.Shane spontaneously frowned and stared at Lea's two thick eyebrows, which she liked because they seemed to be set in the middle. Lea was unlike o
