Being Queen in the Hands of Sister-in-law
The Part 51

Special parts Nathan and Gavin.

"So, what do you need to ask me to meet?"

Nathan smiled knot. It's obvious that Gavin isn't comfortable meeting her. Nathan is well aware. It's because Gavin still loves Micah. In fact, it's possible that Gavin still expects Micah to come back to him.

"I need your help to take care of Micah."

Gavin frowned. "Why?" ask her in wonder. "Aren't you planning to get married soon after Micah's return from Paris?" gavin.

"I don't know until when I'll survive. If I leave at any time, Micah is in good hands."

Gavin is further astonished by what Nathan is saying. Like implying something, but Gavin doesn't want to guess it.

"I think you picked me wrong for that. You must know how our relationship is."

"And I know that Micah really can't forget you. To this day, I know that he is still trying to forget you. Not completely forgotten. Even his love for me is not as great as the love he has for you."

Gavin laughed blankly. It was impossible for Micah to still love him.

Micah's eyes filled with anger. Micah refused to meet and talk to him. All this indicates that Micah hates Gavin.

"I know you tried to meet Micah while he was still in Paris. Even you were in Micah's apartment until Micah finished college. All your talk, I heard it. Micah's cry, it all signifies that he still holds a great taste for you. He was just trying to get used to the wounds he felt."

"But isn't_"

"We met in the lobby?" Nathan cut the conversation. "It's just my strategy that you or Micah don't know if I'm listening to your conversation."

Nathan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. His head suddenly throbbed slowly but was still able to hold it until some time into the future.

"I have cancer. Early on meeting Micah, the cancer that attacked me was not this severe. I know that my life may not be long. So I told Micah that I was building a business in Paris. In fact, I routinely go there for treatment. At the end of my life, I want to be happy with the people I love. Though I know that his heart is not entirely mine."

Gavin. Look at what Nathan was talking about.

"But lately, my illness is getting worse. Do you know why I wear a hat? That's because my hair has started to fall out. I also had to lie to Micah for hectic reasons and could not contact him any more time so that Micah would not be suspicious of my circumstances. In fact, I like that because I'm not strong enough to see the phone for too long."

Nathan was silent for a moment. He also feels pain when talking about the woman he loves. Moreover, Nathan knew Nathan's time would not be long to be able to look after Micah. "Take him for me" Nathan said softly and pleasantly.

"That's impossible. His heart will never be mine again. His parents would never approve of me with Micah."

"Nothing is impossible if you try."

"Same with you. God will surely see your efforts to heal if you believe you can be healed. Believe that! Happy Micah now only with you."

"Try to get Micah back to you. God will also take your efforts into account."

Gavin was silent for a moment. Digesting all Nathan's words. What Nathan did was also a great sacrifice. As he tried to heal, he also tried to think of Micah's happiness.

No man is fully willing to see his beloved happy with others. Nathan is one of them.

Gavin knew, inevitably Nathan had to let go of it because he knew that maybe his life would not be long.

"After this, I had to stay in Singapore for intensive treatment. Please, you be me."

"meaning?"

"Bring my phone. Call Micah by pretending to be me."

Gavin shook his head. "I can't." How could he possibly do that?

All right, he's the one communicating with Micah. Maybe you can call Micah affectionately, discussing a beautiful future. But he had to pretend to be Nathan.

Gavin can't. He wasn't sure he could resist his jealousy while doing so.

"Who else should I ask for help? If Micah had not been concentrating on his nearly finished education and taking up much of his time, I would have told Micah the truth. But I didn't do it for fear of disturbing his concentration."

"Then when you recover, I will be a fool who can only see your affection again? After what I did for you guys, like that? Excuse me. I can't. Excuse me."

Nathan doesn't have to go after him because Nathan thinks it all just takes time.

Healed? Nathan laughed cynically.

Two years of treatment. From A to Z he's done.

But instead of healing, the deadly disease began to attack important organs in his body.

It was impossible if he could survive for such a long time. His health alone must be supported by innumerable drugs.

His kidneys also began to be problematic because they consume too much chemical drugs.

With all the coercion, even Elisha himself who came to ask Gavin for help, Gavin finally obeyed Nathan's will.

If Nathan wasn't being critical right now, maybe Gavin wouldn't have done what Nathan wanted.

Nathan's cell phone and a letter to Micah will be in Gavin's hands.

Gavin still does not understand what to do with the phone other than read the friendly chat between Nathan and Micah.

They also looked at photos of their time together in Paris.

Of jealousy? Sure oes. No need to question.

Many times Micah asked for a video call. Maybe he misses Nathan. But Gavin kept looking for excuses to prevent Micah from asking for video calls.

A week after Elisha came to leave his cell phone and a letter from Nathan, Elisha told Gavin that Nathan's condition was getting worse. His consciousness began to decline and his response to the drugs and tools that sustain his life began to decrease.

"You have to hold on to Micah, Nathan. He loves you so much" whispered Gavin right in Nathan's ear. Hope Nathan hears his words and Nathan gets excited to get well again.

"I can't look after Micah. You must wake up, heal, and take care of Micah yourself" threatened Gavin.

"Wake, Nathan! Be strong for the people you love and care for."

Not the awareness they get, it is the cessation of Nathan's breath that makes Elisha cry hysterically.

Gavin clenched his hand. Can't see things like this.

What if Micah finds out his Nathan is gone?

How would Micah react if he knew who was communicating with him lately instead of Nathan? But Gavin.

"How are you, Om?" greet Gavin to Wira when Nathan's funeral is over.

The hero smiled thinly. "Alhamdulillah, I'm good."

Since the end of Gavin and Micah's relationship, Gavin has rarely met Wira and Feni.

Friendship between their families ended because of the mistakes made by the Anton family.

Gavin no longer knew what to say or ask Wira. Baffled. Asking for the blessing of Wira to fight for Micah again Gavin felt the time was not right.

For a long time Gavin was silent, Gavin until he did not realize that Wira had stepped away without saying goodbye to Gavin who was in front of Wira.

Gavin got in his car. At that moment, Nathan's phone rang. Mikhay's name is a ''Mikhay's name' which appears on the screen.

Gavin was confused as to what to do. Lifting the phone also seemed impossible for him to do.
