To Love You Again, My Husband
Chapter 62: This is For You “Airina!”
About to go inside her car, someone familiar called her name and she instinctively turned to the owner of the voice – Daniel. She took a deep breath, facing him with a polite smile.
“What a coincidence.”
Daniel smiled, “No, I was waiting for you.”
Airina understood his intention. “… What are you doing here then?”
Daniel extended a small pouch and informed, “I assumed you were joking when you said you didn’t want the flowers. I… I feel strongly apologetic that I failed to interpret your words clearly,” he shyly continued, “Please accept these, it will help the pollen allergy.”
“Medicine?”
“Yes. I’m… sorry. Oh, and I inquired a doctor for you so he will be here in any minute now.”
Airina looked around. She was in disbelief hearing him say that a doctor will be here. It couldn’t be real, right? Briefly, someone wearing a white gown and a stethoscope around his neck appeared. He politely bowed before her and greeted.
“Miss Beverly, Sir Daniel asked me for a favor to check up on your allergy. Would you be so kind to go to somewhere more appropriate than this? The car is also good.”
“That…” she glimpsed at Daniel who assured silently, “All… all right. Let’s just go to your clinic.”
The doctor smiled, “Perfect.”

After checking her skin, the doctor simply dictated to put on the medicine Daniel bought for her for a month. However, she must avoid holding or get close to flowers for a while.
“After two weeks, please come to me again so I can evaluate if your allergy had reduced.”
“Yes, of course. Thank you.”
So then, when she went out, Daniel offered a cold water and an apple – big and sweet, at that. He led her to an amusement park, where they had been to once before. He had her sit on the swing, while he settled on the other one.
“How are you feeling today?”
Airina smiled, “Fine. It is a good day; I don’t think there’s a reason why I shouldn’t be in a good mood.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Daniel interlinked his hands, and then hesitantly pulled out something from his wallet. He gave it to her.
“Would you be able to go?”
She interestingly scanned the invitations contained with the words, [It is our greatest pleasure to have you in our small concert – Bliz’s in the Zero Studio.]
“You’re holding a small concert?”
“Yes. You were the one I invited first because you gave me the inspiration to continue what I love,” he then chuckled, “I hope that among those people my team has invited, you will be the first one to say you will go.”
Airina pursed her lips. Why? Why can’t he stop when it was clear that what she only wants them to have is a friendship; nothing more nothing less? Why does he like her so much he didn’t want to believe she doesn’t have the same sentiments as him?
“Daniel. I told you before so stop doing this kind of thing. I can’t, I don’t want to commit. More importantly when I don’t have the same feelings as you are.”
Awful. It was the only thing he knew when he heard her. He was aware of her response yet he was still persistent to try.
“I know.” a soft-spoken and seemingly a defeated voice came out from him, “I know you don’t like me. But this, this concert I am holding is for you. The songs I made was for you so please,” he turned to her as his eyes glistened with sincerity and seriousness, “Please watch me.”
“Daniel, I told you…”
“I don’t force you to give the same love to me. I only ask you to please come. I don’t care if others don’t join at all. But you, you are different, Airina. How can you not understand I yearn for you?”
“But I don’t feel the same thing.” She stated.
“… I am not forcing you to love me. Just please… please let me indulge in these emotions. I promise I won’t hold you back on what you do.”
Airina sighed, helpless upon seeing his sincerity.
“… I will try, but I won’t promise.”
Finally, the glum from his face vanished in an instant. “At least you said you will. You’re still going to work; do you mind if I drive you there?”
She shook her head, “No, I have my own driver.”
“… I forgot that. I understand.”
She didn’t respond, looking at the invitation that says, [Airina, this is for you.]
