Dusk For Nathan 2
109

Gio looked at Dusk who was gently stroking his bulging stomach. Occasionally thrown his smile towards Gio who had been looking at him with his innocent face.

" What's up, baby?" Dusk grabbed Gio into his arms.

" When I was born. Mama and Papa dear ama Gio also not?" Plain asking.

Dusk kissed Gio's forehead and looked at the face of his child who was starting to grow up. " Of course, honey. Gio is still Mama and Papa's handsome son. Then I am born. Gio has to love the same as well." Said Dusk and grabbed Gio's hand putting it on his moving belly.

Both Gio's netra grew when his little hand felt the movement of his sister still in his mother's stomach. Gio looked at the Dusk in astonishment.

" Can't wait to see you?" Tanya Dusk looked at Gio's reaction.

Gio nodded. " So it must be funny ma."

" Yes dear."

" It used to be that Gio was in my mom's stomach too?" Ask Gio. Dusk nodded. " Papa must have been elus-elus Gio from outside the gini huh?" Gio said enthusiastically. Nathan imagines him playing by stroking the stomach of Dusk the same when he sees Nathan taking his sister to play.

Smile Dusk dimmed for a moment because the situation was very different when pregnant Gio. I don't know what Gio would say if he ever found out that Nathan wasn't his real father. Dusk gently stroked the top of Gio's head and revealed his bitter smile.

" Assalammu'alaikum."

" Na'alaikumsalam." Sahut Gio and Dusk together.

Nathan approached them and kissed them on the forehead. " What's Papa's son?" Nathan asked Gio.

" Play the same sister." Answer Gio. Papa used to play with Gio, right when Gio was in Mama's stomach?" Gio asked with his cheerful face.

Nathan gently scrambles Gio's hair shoots. " Yes dear."

Nabila propped her head with her hand on her chin looking at Randy who had been quiet since. It was a boring dinner. When he breathed his breath rough.

Randy looks very awkward in front of Nabila. Randy looked to the left and right turning his gaze so as not to look at Nabila's face. Sometimes Randy seemed to stir his drink.

" What do you want to talk about?" Tanya Nabila was impatient because boredom had ruled her.

Randy saw Nabila at a glance. But the nervousness did not disappear. Randy went back to stirring his drink and sipped it a little then he lowered his head. Trying to string words together.

" If you are still silent. I'm going home." Threaten Nabila and get up soon.

" Will you marry me?" The sentence escaped from Randy's panicked mouth when Nabila was about to leave.

Nabila smiled her smile and sat back down to look at Randy who just kept looking down as if what he was looking at right now was very interesting.

" Are you serious?" Tanya Nabila.

" Yes." Yeah." Randy still did not dare to look at Nabila.

" Comeon. You asked me to get married but you're still staring at the floor." Anxious Omel Nabila sees Randy's nervous demeanor.

Slowly Randy lifted his head and tried to look at Nabila's face that was smiling towards him.

" I'll think about it." Sahut Nabila's. " I'm glad you're telling the truth."

" Oh yeah?"

" yes. Give me three days. I also have to discuss this with grandfather." Nabila.

" I've asked you to Mr. Danny. He said try asking you." Randy's fast.

Both netra Nabila grew up not expecting if Randy had already talked to his grandfather. " all right. I'll give you the answer tomorrow." Nabila.

Randy smiled even though he knew that today and tomorrow. His sleep will not be able to rest soundly because thinking about the answer that will be given Nabila. The feeling Randy is experiencing today is very different when he proposed to Rena first. Not this big taste.

" What about our development?" Tanya Nabila switched the conversation so that the atmosphere did not become awkward.

" Smoothly. All the letters are ready. It's been arranged by his people Nathan's already in the construction of the first stage." Randy explained.

The second cooperation project with Nathan's company was much smoother than the first. No more bad guys playing.

Nabila smiled with a satisfied smile at Randy's reply.

Nathan just kept silent to see Rena crying so much in front of him. Rena had arrived in her office early in the morning before Nathan even came to the office. Rena was already there waiting for him in the waiting room near the entrance. When he saw Nathan entering Rena immediately approached him and sat down to apologize in front of Nathan to make Nathan stop and looked confused to see the arrival of Rena who arrived. Nathan doesn't want to be another employee spectacle. Inviting Rena into his room.

" Is it done?" Nathan asked flatly tired of seeing the woman's cry. Whether it's a heartfelt tear of regret or just a charade.

Rena has been hanging down since. Raising his face with a red nose and puffy eyes looking at Nathan.

" Do you really forgive me?" Rena asked in her tears.

Nathan nodded.

" Thank God."

" I'm just sorry that you left Randy and Ryan out of economic trouble." Nathan complains disappointed with Rena's attitude.

" I was really confused back then, Nath." Rena said and came back crying.

Nathan took a breath and glanced at his watch. For almost an hour, she cried in her room. Nearly an hour of his time was wasted.

" I want to meet Randy and apologize to him." Rena says. " Do you know where Randy and Ryan are now?"

" Randy has forgiven you. We no longer need to look for him. Let him reorganize his life again raising your children."

" But, Nath.."

" My time is wasted, Rena. Your business with me is done. Please come out. I don't want to interfere in your business with Randy." Nathan said firmly and sat down at his desk.

Rena is unable to say anything else because she saw Nathan who was angry. Nathan is a patient man. But when he was angry. There will be nothing more to care about. The word that came out of his mouth was an order to anyone he aimed his anger at.

Nathan immediately sighed harshly. Somehow the problems that have long passed sometimes always reappear to the surface. The problem with Sintia was the biggest problem Nathan had. Circumstances forced him to follow the woman's will. Even until now Nathan always felt very guilty for doing things that are strictly prohibited in his religion.
