"That's not possible, you know I really love Tanya, don't you?" it was Patrick in a protesting tone.In fact, Joaquin was not surprised by what his friend said. He expected that because even he was against what his father wanted to happen."That's why I'm here because I want to ask you for advice," he explained in response.That same day he decided to go to Patrick's office to talk. Because the truth is, he too has a hard time with everything his father said before.“You need to find a woman you can marry. That's what you do,” he told her.Joaquin stared at Patrick in surprise."Are you serious? It seems like everything is easy for you!” he said disgustedly.His friend laughed softly. “Why? What is difficult there? Actually, Tanya and I are also planning to get married. And that might happen as soon as possible now because of what you told me today. But of course, before that just do what your father says. Try

"EXCUSE me?" that was the question that escaped her lips.Lara heard the heavy sigh that Ramil let out before he stared at her.“That man who delivered you earlier. Who is he?" he asked while Lara immediately noticed the resentment in the tone of the young man's speech.“Ah, that’s Joaquin. New friend and acquaintances,” she replied.At what she said the emotion on the face of the man in front of her immediately changed. "I thought he was your boyfriend," he said, laughing softly.Lara did not comment on what Ramil said. She didn't know what she could say because the more those moments linger, the more tired she felt in her body.“Lara don't I really have a chance on you? Why don’t you try to open your heart on me?” Ramil asked after a while.Lara immediately sighed at what she heard. Ramil knows the answer to that question. Because honestly, that wasn’t the first time the man had asked

"HELLO, Uncle Joaquin!"Lara immediately smiled when she heard Callie's cheerful greeting to Joaquin who had just arrived."Good morning, beautiful," was the warm response of the young man then lifted and carried Callie."Are you going to have dinner here again tonight?" her daughter asked automatically wrapping her arms around the young man's neck.“I don’t think so. But I will try,” he replied to the girl.Callie nodded as if to say she understood everything. She then kissed the young man on the cheek before Joaquin lowered her.“Let’s go?” Joaquin asked her."Okay," Lara replied. "Bye, Callie," she said as she bowed her head and kissed her daughter’s forehead.Her father also came out of the terrace. That was when she and Joaquin said goodbye to him."Last night when you left, Ramil came," she began the story when they were on the road."Ramil?" ask Joaquin."He'

Lara was already expecting Joaquin to reclaim her mouth.That warm kiss gradually awoke to her seemingly sleeping being.Joaquin was her first kiss. After what happened to them then, no one else had done this to her. Just this man again. She didn’t know why, but when it came to this young man she could tell she really had no defense.That was really true so there was no reason for her to deny the matter even to herself.For a few moments, their mouths remained locked.Lara was so carried away by the man's warm and gentle caress on her mouth that she even moaned for a while. But that noise remains trapped amid their passionately kissing lips."You are a wonderful kisser, sweetheart," Joaquin said then stroked his lower lip after he released her.Lara's face turned red from what she heard. But she didn’t let herself be carried away in the usual discomfort that she felt. Instead, she raised her face then touched Joaquin's lip

Lara immediately felt an inexplicable dryness in her throat because of that question. She didn’t know what she was going to answer because the truth was playing now in her mind. On how did Joaquin guess about that matter? "Hey," Joaquin whispered to her as she remained silent. That was when Lara swallowed unknowingly. She then simply withdrew her hand being held by Joaquin, but she failed because when the young man seemed to feel her attempt, that is why his grip there tightened even more. "Are you afraid of me, sweetheart?" Joaquin asked her in his tender tone. One after another she abruptly shakes her head in response to that question. "Why should I be afraid of you?" she said with a weak laugh followed by her question and answer. That was when the corner of Joaquin's lip lifted for a meaningful smile. And because she said she was not afraid of him she was forced to meet the gaze of the young man. Even that didn’t come easy for her. "It's okay with me if you're not ready to te
