Actually Love
Chapter 217_After Graduation

Neva one car with her mom.

He checked his phone. There was no message from the person he was waiting for. There were only messages from his friends and grub chats. He turned off his phone again then leaned his head.

"What's wrong?" Mama asked if her daughter was upset. Mama noticed Neva from earlier who was constantly checking her phone.

Neva looked towards her mother. "Do I look so upset?" Ask. He looked at Mama curiously. That looks like her turmoil. His sister also knew that he was waiting for someone.

Mama chuckled and rubbed Neva's shoulders gently.

"Who are you waiting for? Can Mama know?" Mama looked at her daughter with attention.

Neva shifted her eyes. "Ah, just the feeling of Mama. I'm not waiting for anyone" he replied.

"OK," Mama replied with a nod.

Suddenly, Neva's phone shook and received a new message. He immediately opened it. Yess. His face became bright and he smiled at the corner of his lips. Mama held back a smile seeing the change in face that she said was not waiting for anyone.

"Girl, sorry for not being able to attend your graduation" Vano said. That'sallthatis. Neva was a little happy even more on her disappointment. Didn't he say to come.

"Hahaa no problem, I'm not waiting for you anyway. You don't Ge-Er yeah," he replied. One minute, two minutes, three minutes and up to half an hour, the message got no reply. Neva bent her face back. Wicked, evil.

Cring, his phone received the latest incoming message. He opened it immediately. His finger quickly pressed a button on his phone. He thought if the message that entered his phone was a reply message from Vano but it was not. Message from Raizel.

"The happy graduation day! Beautiful lady," said a message from Raizel. Neva smiled reading it. "I'm sorry I couldn't attend" he said again.

"Thank you Raizel," Neva replied. "Haaa is better. If you come, it looks like there will be a tremendous mess" he replied with a laughing emot.

"Is there a show tonight?" A reply from Raizel.

"Umm, it doesn't seem. Why?" Reply Neva.

"I'll pick you up at home, 20:00. Okay," Raizel's message replied.

"What is this in order?" Ask Neva in reply to her message.

"Moreover...celebrate your graduation" Raizel replied. "I've got to get back to filming. See you later tonight" Raizel said.

"Hey, I haven't agreed to it yet" Neva replied immediately.

"You must agree, period," Raizel replied again. "Bye," the message again ended the chat.

"Basic," he murmured softly with a shudder. He smiled and put his phone on his lap.

"Hmm, is she the one you're waiting for Miss?" Ask Mama with a smile. Neva immediately turned her gaze and looked at Mama.

"Mama kepo," he said and immediately made his mother laugh.

On the same street, in a different car. Leo opened his phone and read the daily news. The news was posted this morning and a few hours ago. News that surprised him. Then, he immediately exited the online news app. He made a phone call to Assistant Dion and ordered something.

"Okay, Boss," Assistant Dion replied ready. Yuna who was leaning on Leo's shoulder looked up after Leo ended her call to Assistant Dion.

"Is something going on?" Ask.

"Nothing" replied Leo by rubbing his hair. Yuna nodded and leaned back.

Slowly, the car that Mama was riding in went through the towering fence. Struggled with Dimas' car. While Leo stopped by first to buy a pizza.

"I'm sorry, Miss Big Mistress, there's someone who's permission to ask to meet. He said, a man from Mrs Mahaeshwara," said Security politely approached Mrs Nugraha after the big lady got out of the car.

"Yes, please," replied the gentle big madam.. He glanced at Neva and smiled. Then, it looks like someone came with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. She is the personal assistant of Mrs Mahaeshwara.

"Good day, big lady" he said kindly after arriving in front of Madam Nugraha. He bowed for the big madam.

"Siang," replied Madam Nugraha kindly. Then, Madam Mahaeshwara's assistant informed her of the intention of his arrival. He was ordered to deliver the gift to Neva.

"Congratulations, miss," he told Neva, then handed Neva a bouquet of flowers.

"Thank you" Neva replied. Later, Mrs Mahaeshwara's assistant also gave her a brown envelope. "Thank you," Neva said, adding her gratitude.

"I say goodbye, Mrs Nugraha, Miss, Young Master," he said by posting the body.

"Tell my thanks to Mrs Mahaheswara" Mrs Nugraha said kindly.

"Okay, ma'am," replied the Assistant. Then leave and come back.

"Waahh, there is a gift delivery" said Dimas. Neva nodded. Dimas grabbed his shoulders and the three of them entered the house. They sit in the middle room. With Neva sitting next to Mama and Dimas sitting across from them.

Neva placed a bouquet of flowers on the table and then opened the brown envelope she had just received.

"Well.. wow... What is this?" Neva opens the brown envelope of gifts from Mrs Mahaeshwara. Mama shifted her seat to get closer towards Neva. Neva took out everything inside that brown envelope.

"A year's free movie tickets, tour tickets around the country, unlimited shopping vouchers in a famous boutique Capital City. Voucer shopped at an international branded bag shop and another beauty care voucher for a year. Waaahhh..," Neva crammed everything on the table.

"Hmmm, Mrs Mahaeshwara is very generous" said Mama with a teasing smile at Neva. "It looks like he wishes you were his son-in-law" Mama continued. Dimas who did not know about it immediately looked at Mama and Neva in turn.

"Well, are you serious or gossiping?" Asked Dimas curiously.

"Hmmm, how's Brother? Brother Dim nanya tuh," Mama replied to Neva with a small laugh.

"What the hell Mama," Neva nudged his mother's arm.

"Smart little sister is a guy's nyari" Dimas jokingly said. "Sir Dim agrees. Vano male mature, and well established. Suitable," continued Dimas. He held his thumb.

"Mama lied, sister, don't believe it. Mama's a gossip," Neva replied.

Then, Leo and Yuna's footsteps sounded. Mom immediately switched the conversation. Mama knows Leo doesn't like Vano.

"Kak Dim, how is the development of Mama's grandchildren," he asked Dimas. And Dimas told her Baby's cuteness. Initially Nora wanted to participate in the graduation ceremony Neva but it turned out to be in line with the immunization schedule of the little one.

Leo and Yuna came in with tent. The pizza...

"Yeyy..," Neva immediately greeted him.

"Here dear," Mama waved at Yuna and told her to sit next to her. Leo sat next to Dimas. He watched the bouquet of flowers and the lined vouchers.

"What's this?" Ask. He took one gift from Madam Mahaeshwara. Mama looked at him with concern. He was worried that Leo did not like the gift from Mrs Mahaeshwara. Mama hopes for this time, Neva lies, to keep the feelings of Leo who dislikes Vano. I don't know and am confused who should be on whose side.

"Gift from Mrs Mahaeshwara" Neva answered truthfully. Yes, he answered honestly. There's nothing he's hiding from his sister Lee. As small as that. From childhood, Brother Lee was a place where he needed storymates and backups.

Hearing Neva's honest answer, Mama immediately looked at Leo closely, worried about Leo's response to this gift.

"Oh," Leo answered flatly and returned the shopping voucher to the table. Mama breathed a sigh of relief because Leo did not show any irritated expression of anger, even though the response was flat.

"Where's the gift for me?" Tag Neva on both of his Sisters.

Leo took something out of his pocket. Then, he put it on the table.

"Huwaaa..," Neva immediately took it. Debit card in gold. "I will scatter it" Neva said with passion.

"Whatever, it's yours" Leo replied.

"Thank you, Brother Lee, I love you" he said. "Kak Dim," Bills on Dimas. Dimas also took something out of his suit pocket. A bicycle key.

"Wawww...," Neva accepted.

"It's in the garage" said Dimas. And Neva got up straight from her seat. He stepped into the garage and instantly found a unique bicycle with a blend of gray and black. The G3 Bicycle.

An electric folding bicycle with all its electronic devices hidden in its frame made of magnesium.

This bike has a minimalist and beautiful design.

**** Near dusk.

Papa just got back. The car is parked in the yard. He got out of the car after the assistant opened the door for him.

Papa stepped inside and immediately looked for Leo's whereabouts.

"There's in the side garden with Yuna," Mama replied to a question about where Leo was. Papa nodded and immediately stepped definitely towards the side garden. He believed in Leo but the words of his friend disturbed his mind. Papa will punish Leo with his own hands if the talk of his friend is proven true. Papa quickened his pace, he could not wait to ask his son directly.

However, his steps stopped when Papa had reached the edge of the lake at the end of the dragon-shaped bridge. He watched Leo who was spoiltly sleeping on Yuna's lap while closing his eyes and occasionally shuddering with a small laugh due to the tingling in his ears.

Papa, then noticed Yuna who was attentively cleaning the dirt in Leo's ear. And Yuna who occasionally hit Leo's arm because Leo did not want to calm down.

"Shut up in a moment" said Yuna. He hit Leo's arm.

"That's amused darling," Leo replied while shuddering.

The corners of Papa's lips curved up to form a relieved and warm smile. He believed his son, he believed. He won't ask. The words of his friend he would throw away and assume that he had never heard them.

Slowly, Papa turned his body and stepped in to return. His son is happy with the right woman. It made Papa's heart very calm. Then, he pulled out his phone and contacted someone.

"Supervise him" he ordered after exchanging a few words at someone who was across the street.

"Well," answered the voice of someone across the street.

After six o'clock at night. Papa flew back out of town.

____Night. At 19:00 Neva checked his phone again but there was no reply from Vano.

"I'm there" a new message from Raizel. Neva immediately replied to him.

"Hey, you said 20:00 and now it's only 19:00" send.

"I finished filming faster. I'm on the road now" Raizel replied.

"Ok," reply Neva. "Eh can I take Lula? My friend who is a big fan of yours," Neva replied again.

"No," replied Raizel.

"Don't you say this is to celebrate my graduation? The more people, the better dong," send. But there's no reply. Neva pursed her lips. Then, he went downstairs and met Mama who was relaxing with Yuna in the living room.

"Ma..," he called after sitting beside his mother.

"Yes?" answer Mama.

"Raizel will be here to pick me up" Neva said. Mama and Yuna immediately turned their heads towards him.

"You guys?" Mama asked with her eyebrows furrowed. Yuna looked at Neva curiously.

"It's not a date" Neva explained.

"But the look in Mama's eyes asked that," Neva replied. Yuna was still staring at Neva. In his heart he asked. Why wasn't Vano at the Neva graduation? Isn't that a very good and proper opportunity to get closer to the Nugraha family.

Neva's back upstairs to get ready. He went back to check his phone. Same. There was no reply from Vano.

Before long, Mama knocked on the door.

"Yes, Ma" he answered. Mama opened the door slowly and slightly went into the room.

"Raizel has come" said his mother. Neva nodded.

"Okay, Ma" he answered.

_In the living room.

Raizel sat up tensely. In front of him were two men who were watching him with sharp eyes. He had already greeted the two men very kindly but these two men were still so terrifying.

"So where are you taking Neva?" Dimas asked Raizel.

"Ke. ah just to celebrate his graduation, Kak" replied Raizel.

"Where?" Ask Dimas again. He was not satisfied with Raizel's reply. Raizel closed his eyes for a moment and gave an answer.

"To place Ice skating in the city center, sister," replied Raizel.

"You said you wanted to celebrate graduation. Why go to the Ice skating place?" Pursue Dimas with his question.

"That's. em," Raizel looked for answers. But shouldn't the brother already know if he will surprise her in his way not in the way of adults with all the rules.

"Hi..," said Neva who walked towards them and stood beside Dimas' seat. Raizel froze for a moment when he saw Neva. Well-favoured. Real pretty. However, he immediately conditioned his eyes, recalling the sight of the two men in front of him.

"Did I make you wait a long time Raizel?" Ask Neva.

"No" Raizel replied with relief because the arrival of Neva meant that he would soon be free from the glaring eyes of the two men.

"Hey, did you scare her?" Ask Neva to Dimas and Leo.

"No," Dimas and Leo answered compactly. Neva nodded.

"He's Raizel. The most famous top artist of the day," Neva introduces Raizel to both of her Sisters. "We. friends," he continued. Then, he looked at Raizel, "Come," he said. Raizel nodded with a smile. Then, he said goodbye to Dimas and Leo.

Neva kissed Dimas' left right cheek and then Leo.

"Did he call you?" Leo asked in a whisper. Neva shook her head slowly.

"He's just apologizing for not being able to attend, that's all" Neva replied. He knew 'Who' meant Leo.

Leo nodded and let go of his embrace. Brother Dimas gave the conditions to take Neva out.

"Okay, sister" Raizel replied obediently.

Then, Neva and Raizel decided to come out.

Slowly Raizel's car moved away from Neva's yard.

"Huff, it feels more tense than the director's nagging and Mak's Leave," Raizel said breathing with relief.

"Haha, they're good" Neva said with a light laugh.

"Yes..," Raizel nodded.

"Eh, where are we going?" Ask Neva.

"Hmm, Secret dong," replied Raizel.

"I hate it the most that these secrets are" Neva said.

"It's not exciting, if you know first," Raizel replied.

"Okey" said Neva. He picked up his phone and checked the chat for a while then pressed the off button.

A few minutes later, Raizel parked his car in the capital's most famous ice skating spot. Neva watched from inside the car.

"Ice's skating?" Ask. Eyebrows wrinkling.

"Yup" Raizel replied. He then took the box in the back seat. Then open. "Wear it, so you don't get cold" he said, giving Neva a jacket. The jacket he had been looking for and picked it for almost four days. He had calculated the size for Neva's body.

Neva. "Thank you, Raizel," she said and then put it on. "Pas" he said after he finished wearing his jacket. Pink jacket combined with white color is so suitable on his body. Raizel looked at her and smiled in satisfaction as the choice was right.

"Here" raizel's ink. Neva tidied her hair and came closer, she knew what Raizel wanted.

Slowly and attentively, Raizel put on a knit hat for Neva. But before that, he glanced at the beautiful hairpin that Neva was wearing.

"Done," he said after finishing wearing a knit hat for Neva.

"Hmmm, thank you Raizel" he said. Then he pointed the rearview mirror at his face. "Am I pretty wearing this?" Ask.

"Devicious," Raizel replied. And Neva punched him in the shoulder. Raizel laughed lightly.

"Come," he asked.

"Eh, aren't you wearing glasses?" Ask Neva. He held Raizel back from going down immediately.

"Safe," Raizel answered with a thumbs up. He's been booking this place and securing it.

Neva nodded, "Ok," he said.

Then they both got out of the car. And Neva was immediately greeted by Bro driver and assistant Raizel. They both carried balloons bearing the words happy graduation and toga dolls.

"Congratulations Miss Neva" said the driver and assistant Raizel.

"Thank you, brother," said Neva and received a balloon and a toga doll. Then, Raizel invited her to go inside.

"You didn't tell me if there were any of them" Neva said.

"They're just security guards" Raizel replied. Neva nodded in understanding. Raizel should always be safe, from anything and for sure from gossip.

Enter into the area... Neva was greeted by a maid who gave her ice skating equipment.

After putting it on, she and Raizel began to stand on ice.

"Can you?" Ask Raizel.

"of course. Don't underestimate me" Neva replied and slid straight away. "Pursue me if you can" he yelled.

"Ready or unprepared, I'll chase you." And Raizel immediately slid off to chase after him.

Neva instantly accelerated his movements. "You won't be able to catch up with me" Neva said, tightening her voice.

"We'll see" replied Raizel. And he accelerated his pace. The neva moves very agilely on the ice. Raizel caught up with him and further accelerated his movements. His hands were stretched out and still not arrived.

"Hahaaa.. I told you, you can't" Neva said with a laugh. He turned the direction and Raizel confronted him from the front. Hup... His hand tried to grab Neva but Neva could still dodge.

"Hahaa. you suck Raizel," Neva laughed heartily at Raizel who was about to fall. Raizel stood upright, his eyes watching and taking into account the movements Neva was about to make. There.yes. At the end of there later, Neva will turn. Her thought. He immediately skates again and chases Neva.

Right at the end, and Neva was right to turn. And Raizel was already in front of him when he turned.

Bruck... Neva fell into an improper position. He was on Raizel's body. It was silent for a while and even time seemed to stop.

"You okay?" Raizel asked quietly who instantly awakened Neva.

"Yeah..." Neva immediately shouted and immediately removed herself from Raizel's body. He sits. "Why did you suddenly appear before me?" He said by pointing. Oh my. shame. Her thought. He just took Raizel's body.

"That's Miss' trick" Raizel replied after he got up and sat down in front of Neva.

"You surprised me" said Neva. Then, there were countless soap bubbles that scattered and greeted the two of them. It's.very beautiful. Neva looked up and looked in amazement at the soap bubbles that were scattered. His hands looked up and occasionally popped soap bubbles.

Raizel watched her from a fluffy smile. He then pulled out his phone and took a photo of Neva secretly.

"Raizel, is this your idea?" Neva asked without looking at Raizel. He was still cool with the floating soap bubble balls.

"Of course, who else," Raizel replied. "You like it?" Ask. Neva nodded and then turned her head towards him.

"very liked. Thank you, Raizel," Neva said. Raizel nodded with a smile. Then, he stood up and stretched out his hand to help Neva stand up again.

Neva's hand welcomes Raizel's hand. Their hands hold each other. Raizel pulled him to his feet and when Neva had stood up, the two of them became very close. The position of Neva that looked up made her face so close to Raizel's face. The slow scene that made them feel the warm breath that caressed each other's faces. With soap bubbles raining down on them.

Neva immediately lowered her head and immediately pulled her hand.

The atmosphere became a little awkward. But Raizel immediately drew Neva's hand again and grabbed her.

"Follow me," he said.

"Where?" Ask Neva. "It's been almost an hour" he continued.

"Damn, why is the clock so fast turning. Didn't we just get there?" Raizel grumbled in annoyance. Then, he invited Neva to get out of the ice skating area. Still in one building, Raizel takes Neva to the play area.

There is no time to play. They should have played around first but the time given by the two men in the living room was very short.

The swivel comedy spins with colorful lights that decorate it. No one's riding it. There should be both of them there but there's no time. Neva must return on time or Raizel must not meet with Neva again.

Neva stands next to the comedy swivel. Raizel left himself somewhere.

"For you" said Raizel who was suddenly behind Neva and handed her a hundred-stemmed bouquet of red roses in front of Neva.
