Part 5

However, every now and then Joe couldn't stop himself from stealing glances at Dewi. Her beautiful face looked peaceful in her sleep, making Joe even more tempted. With heavy breaths, he tried to divert his thoughts again.

"Goddess, I promise I will always be there for you, not to take advantage of you," Joe muttered.

Joe turned to face the other side, forcing himself to focus on quieter things. He thought about how he could continue to support the Goddess in the days to come, helping her overcome her pain and sadness.

As the night wore on, Joe finally managed to collect his thoughts. Even though Dewi's presence was very tempting, he remained firm in his determination not to violate the boundaries that should be maintained. He realized that honoring the Goddess was the most important thing right now.

In the morning, sunlight began to stream in through the gaps in the curtains, waking Joe who had fallen asleep for a while. He saw Dewi who was still sleeping beside him, looking calmer than the night before. Joe felt pride in his heart for being able to restrain himself and maintain their honor.

"I will always be there for you, Mrs Dewi, as a friend you can rely on," said Joe quietly

When Dewi started to wake up, Joe immediately got out of bed, gave her space and showed respect.

"Joe, thank you. I feel a little better today thanks to your presence," said Dewi, feeling happy.

"You're welcome, Mrs. Dewi. I'm happy to be able to help. Let's face this day together," replied Joe.

That way, Joe and Dewi continued their day with new enthusiasm, even though the feelings stored in Joe's heart were still there, he still tried to keep his distance and provide sincere support.

That morning, after a simple breakfast at home, Dewi felt that she needed to leave the house to get rid of the anxiety that remained in her heart.

"Joe, today can you take me to a tourist spot? I need fresh air and a new atmosphere to get rid of my anxiety," asked Dewi.

"Of course, Madam. Where do you want to go?" Joe asked very enthusiastically.

"How about we go to the flower garden on the outskirts of town? I always feel calm there," answered Dewi.

"Okay, Mrs. Dewi. Let's go now," replied Joe.

Joe prepped the car and made sure everything was ready for the trip. Dewi sat in the back seat, feeling a little lighter because she was going to spend the day in a place she liked. Joe was also happy to see Dewi starting to look cheerful that morning.

The journey to the flower garden was peaceful. Joe occasionally stole glances through the rearview mirror, seeing a faint smile on Dewi's face which made his heart feel a little relieved.

Arriving at the flower garden, Dewi breathed in the fresh air and smiled broadly.

"Thanks, Joe. I haven't felt this relieved in a long time." Dewi took a good look at her driver.

"You're welcome, Mrs. Dewi. I'm glad to see that you're feeling better. Let's enjoy today," said Joe, smiling.

They strolled among the colorful flower beds. Dewi seemed to enjoy every moment, occasionally stopping to smell the flowers or take photos. Joe followed behind, making sure Dewi felt safe and comfortable.

"Joe, you know, today I feel very comfortable. I feel like I can forget for a moment all my problems," said Dewi hopefully.

"I'm glad to hear that, Mrs. Dewi. I will always be there to support you, whenever you need it," said Joe.

"Thank you, Joe. Your presence really means a lot to me. You are more than just a driver. You are a reliable friend," replied Dewi.

Joe smiled, feeling proud and happy to hear Dewi's words.

"It means a lot to me, Mrs. Dewi. I will always be there for you," said Joe, feeling grateful.

They spent that day happily. Dewi felt free and happy, while Joe felt relieved to see Dewi smiling again.

As the sun began to set, they decided to get back in the car and go home.

"Joe, this is a beautiful day. Thank you for accompanying me," said Dewi with a deep gaze

"You're welcome, Mrs. Dewi. I also enjoyed today. It's nice to see Mom happy." Joe smiled at his employer.

The ride home was filled with light conversation and laughter. Dewi feels increasingly comfortable with Joe, and Joe feels closer to Dewi. Even though the feelings in Joe's heart are still there, he still tries to maintain professionalism and provide sincere support to Dewi.

That evening, after a long and enjoyable day, Dewi and Joe returned home. Dewi felt better after spending time in the flower garden, but there was still something stuck in her heart. After dinner, they sat in the living room, making small talk to end the day.

"Joe, I really thank you for your attention today. You are always there for me, and I really appreciate it," said Dewi.

"That's my job, Mrs. Dewi. I'm happy to be able to help," replied Joe, smiling.

Dewi was silent for a moment, staring at the cup of tea in her hand. Joe could feel that Dewi wanted to convey something.

"Joe, there's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time." Dewi looks more serious.

"What is that, Mrs. Dewi? I'm always ready to listen," said Joe.

Dewi took a deep breath, trying to find the right words.

"I've always wanted to have children, Joe. I've always dreamed of being a mother. But, I feel like maybe Adrian is having an affair because I can't give him children. Maybe he feels I'm not enough as a wife," said Dewi quietly.

Joe felt his heart touched by the sadness radiating from Dewi. He was concerned to hear how deep Dewi's wounds were.

"Mrs Dewi, I am very sad to hear that. But I am sure, this problem is not your fault. You are an extraordinary woman, and the desire to have children is something very human," replied Joe encouragingly.

Dewi looked at Joe with teary eyes, then with a trembling voice, she revealed something surprising.

"Joe, I know this may sound crazy, but I really want to have children. I've thought this through. Can you... can you get me pregnant?" Dewi looked expectantly.

Joe was surprised to hear Dewi's request. He felt nervous and afraid, not believing that the Goddess was actually asking him.

"Mrs Dewi, I... I can't do that. I really respect you, and I'm afraid this will damage our relationship. You are my master, and I don't want to cross the line," said Joe nervously.

Dewi took Joe's hand, begging with hope.

"Joe, please. I really need your help. I feel this is the only way to save my life and give me a new meaning," replied Dewi explaining.

Joe felt a deep dilemma. He knew how important this was to the Goddess, but he also knew that doing this would be very risky.

"Mrs Dewi, I understand how big your desire is. But I'm afraid this will bring more problems than solutions. I really don't want to hurt your feelings or ruin what we have," said Joe, who felt reluctant and afraid.

Dewi looked at Joe with eyes full of tears, her voice full of resignation.

"Joe, I'm begging you. You're the only person I trust right now. I know this isn't fair for you, but please, help me," Dewi begged, her gaze full of hope.

Joe was silent, feeling the pressure and burden so heavy. Finally, he took a deep breath, trying to gather his courage.

"Mrs Dewi, if this is really what you want, and if this can make you happy, I will consider it. But we have to really make sure that this is the right decision and we are ready for all the consequences," said Joe, trying to be brave. self.

Dewi smiled with gratitude and relief, holding Joe's hand tighter.

"Thank you, Joe. You don't know how much this will mean to me," said Dewi.
