Chapter 63: Be Yours
To Love You Again, My Husband
Chapter 63: Be Yours The studio, as it was small, only had a few decorations but it filled the empty spaces, further giving emphasis to the small stage in the center. Airina was skeptical about going in here, but it would be a waste since she had always been the type of person to compliant at all things. Aside from that, she was touched when Daniel said that this small concert was inspired by her, hence she couldn’t stop herself from going.
Since it also aligned with her schedule, she chose to go along with her assistant, Jena. Jena was excited and giggly upon finding out that her Madame was going somewhere – for a man, on top of that. She just couldn’t wait for her Madame’s romance to blossom despite the fiery competition between the owner of this studio and Jackson.
“Madame, is he your suitor? That man wearing black sleeves?”
Airina sighed, “He’s not my suitor.”
“But didn’t you say he arranged this inspired by you, Madame?”
Airina smirked, “Inspired, that doesn’t mean romantically.”
Jena frowned, “Madame, how can you say that? If I was in your position, I would have assumed he was my suitor. Imagine he prepared this for you,” Jena cupped both of her cheeks shyly, “Just so he could see your smiling face. Aw, what a sight.”
Airina groaned. “Jena, if you don’t want this job anymore, you can go.”
Jena swore, “No! No, Madame! I am loyal only to you!”
Airina didn’t speak further, merely nodding her head in comprehension. The other members of the band couldn’t restrain their curiosity, peeking at Airina who was treated specially than any other viewer. Daniel had also admitted that he was pursuing her, so this was partially for her.
After the initial introduction of the three members, they began. Airina didn’t assume that Daniel had a good voice but tonight she had proven that he indeed has a good voice – soothing, relaxing, gentle, and calming. These all were his voice. Truly, the time of their small concert was just perfect to calm someone.
She didn’t even restrain herself from clapping as soon as their performance ended. It was clear that all of the viewers enjoyed it as they demanded another round of concert. Daniel had to disappoint them by saying this was just a small concert thus it was limited. He was also polite declining to follow suit on their offer.
Airina intended to leave after resting but she was stopped by Daniel.
Daniel was holding something, carrying a small bag.
“Here,” he spoke, “Please accept this in return for coming.”
Airina shook her head, “I solely wanted to congratulate you. You did well and I have to admit that you have a good voice. I enjoyed it.”
Daniel gently held her wrist and handed the bag over hers, “Accept it, I bought it for you anyways.”
“… What is this?”
Daniel beamed at her, “Open it and you will know. B-but… after you go home.”
Airina didn’t decline anymore as she knew that he would be persistent about this. Turning around, she again halted when she felt his grip on her arm.
Daniel offered, “… Let me give you a ride. What do you say?”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Airina laughed, and pointed to the black car, “That’s my car, and I have my own driver as well. Thank you for the offer, though.”
Daniel scratched his head with a glum sigh. “I… I understand. Thank you… for coming. You know you are not that required to watch since you are a busy person,” he pursed his lips, “Forgive me if I came offensive and pushy the time I invited you.”
Airina breathed out as Jena decided to distance herself from them. She didn’t want to get so much information and was unable to stop herself from spreading it to others due to excitement.
“I know very well when you feel like you owe someone and them not coming to commemorate your success is another disappointment. I understand your motive, so you don’t need to fret. It was also my choice to come.”
He sighed, “I’m sorry. I grew up having a different mindset and perspective as you are so it’s hard to keep up. But… I want to learn. I want to learn how to be that man.”
She frowned, “That man?”
Daniel’s eyes turned sincere and genuine as they glistened with profound affection he tried to hard to hide only for it to unravel at this moment and explode.
“I want to be the man to hold you and spend your life with. I can’t do that without knowing what you want, so I beg to ask,” he drew closer, “Please teach me how to be that man. I am a quick learner, but I assure you that I won’t do anything without your consent.”
“Daniel… we talked about this a few times.”
“… I don’t want to give up.”
“But doing this doesn’t give you a guarantee.”
Daniel’s relieved smile brought her to think if this man was better than Jackson.
He spoke, “Giving up is only for cowards. I want to be that man… I just want you to let me in. Give me a little space of your heart I could own and so I could shelter you from the world. I can do anything for you, Rina. Just say the word and I will oblige. You can hit me, beat me, anything, I only want one thing – be yours.
I may not be the perfect man, but I aim to be the man who has the qualifications to stand alongside you.
Rina… I like you thus I want to be yours.”
