Dusk For Nathan 2

Nabila looked at Randy who was sitting leaning on the headboard. Randy's face looks lethargic. His mind and heart were not compact. I want him to leave here. But his heart refused to leave Nabila who was pregnant.

Slowly Nabila approached Randy and sat down beside him. Randy only glanced at him briefly and returned his gaze staring straight.

" What's your decision now?" Nabila broke the silence between them.

Randy breathed. " My heart still wants to be with you. But my mind seems reassuring if you're happy without me." Answer Randy.

Nabila smiled at her smile. " My heart wants to love you. But somehow there was still a shadow of that man. You're off my side. Doesn't guarantee I'll be happy, Randy."

Randy looked at the face of his wife who had been staring at him.

" Stay here. Me and this kid need you." Said Nabila while his hand rubbed his stomach that was still flat.

Randy gently pulled Nabila's body into his arms and kissed the soft Nabila's head. I don't know what feelings are stirring again. The feeling of wanting to have Nabila completely re-entered the recesses of his soul.

" I will soon be able to drive him out of my heart." Bisik Nabila's.

" Why at the cafe will you keep looking for him?"

" I don't know. Honestly speaking. This morning somehow the feeling of wanting to have it was so big that it made me unable to think clearly." Nabila. " I'm sorry I hurt you again."

" I'm sorry to bother you, baby." Randy again kissed softly Nabila's forehead and held her in a warm embrace.

Dusk continued to look at Nathan who had been busy reading the incoming email. Somehow on holidays there are still work emails coming in. Nathan slightly massaged his temple.

" Are you okay?" Tanya Dusk who had since noticed Nathan who occasionally massaged his temple. It's Nathan's custom that his head throb.

" yes. Probably because I've been looking at cell phones for too long." Nathan said and put his phone on the table next to him.

" Did Randy ask you to marry Nabila?" Ask the curious twilight.

" No dear. The matter is over." Nathan answered with a smile and kissed his wife's forehead.

Twilight rested his head on Nathan's chest. It feels good to have a good looking husband, and most importantly he is loyal. Dusk pecked Nathan's chest which was still covered in his tee shirt.

" Don't fish, baby." Nathan teases Dusk.

Twilight raised her head and kissed Nathan's chest again.

" Naughty to you." Said Nathan and now brings Dusk into his arms. He no longer ignored his head that had been throbbing since.

' Tok Tok Tok Tok.'

" In." Nathan cried from inside his room.

Silvi is seen with a blue map entering Nathan's room and just standing near the door.

" Some want to meet with my father. His name is Mr. Jason from Australia." Silvi.

" Jason? What's the need?" Nathan asked a little confused because he felt he did not know Jason.

" She said she wanted to discuss cooperation." Silvi said again.

Nathan thought for a moment and finally let the man in.

Nathan welcomes his new guests who are well-bodied and slightly taller than him. Nathan cheered Jason as well as a man who was no less tall than Jason seemed to be his assistant.

" Sit down, Please." Nathan told them to sit on the couch in his room.

" Thanks." Jason.

" This is Mark, My assistant." Jason introduced the man next to him to Nathan.

" okay. Hi, Mark." Nathan greeted the man. " What do you need here?" Nathan asked without saying anything stale.

" We speak Indonesian." Jason told Nathan.

" okay. Have you ever lived in Indonesia?"

" yes. I used to work for the Fresco company. Where you used to intern. Isn't it?" Jason tried to remind me.

Nathan pondered for a moment and he had indeed interned at the company. But somehow he never remembered Jason.

" Maybe you don't know me. Because I'm always in the room."

" Oh so." Nathan smiled awkwardly.

" I want to work with you. It's a mega project for your company."

" Oh yeah? Glad to hear it." Nathan responded.

" the Mark. Give me that proposal." His orders to Mark who had been silent since then listened to their conversation.

Nathan took a deep breath. A big decision for a big project. There will be profits but also there will be losses if not considered properly.

" Why do you offer cooperation to small companies?"

" I believe in your potential." Jason replied sure.

" Hemm.. I agree." Nathan replied with eyes still researching every point listed on the proposal.

Jason smiled his big smile to see Nathan was a little enthusiastic about the project he offered. " But there are conditions." Jason said with a smile.

Nathan immediately turned to look at Jason.

" Take dinner somewhere while discussing this partnership and we exchange stories." His word.

" A dinner?"

" yes. Business relationships need to be intertwined with intense relationships instead. We should get to know. All the capital on this project I will bear it all. You don't have to worry about losing." Jason again explained the details of their collaboration.

" Sorry. But why have dinner? Intense relationship? You mean how?"

" It's not just us. There's Mark too. So you don't have to worry. I'm married anyway." Joking Jason.

Nathan responded with a small laugh. How bad he thought strangely. Nathan agrees to Jason's dinner.

Jason's already set the place for them. Nathan felt a little strange because it turned out that the place Jason chose was a nightclub. By convincing his heart. Nathan emboldened himself to enter the place. The first time Nathan's ever set foot in a nightclub like this. There were so many scantily dressed women that Nathan lowered his face avoiding looking at the inappropriate. Nathan continued down the place as per the instructions of the receptionist who was standing guard in front.

Some of the women who saw Nathan. Come over and tease Nathan. Nathan could only resist and walk with his body slightly attached to the wall avoiding physical contact with the women.

" Hey Nathan. Welcome to join." Greet Jason to Nathan who just appeared with a wary face.

There were several bottles of wine on Jason's left right side in a beautiful, scantily clad woman's apit. Sometimes they kiss Jason's cheek or neck.

" Aren't you married, Mr. Jason?" Nathan asked slightly disgusted by the sight before him.

" yes. But that is if I am at home. Sit down." Jason's orders.

Nathan sat down on the couch next to Jason. Red sofa in circular shape.

" Please have a drink." Jason poured a glass of wine in the glass in front of Nathan.

" Sorry. I don't drink alcoholic beverages." Reject Nathan is still being polite.

" It's old." Jason's lead on Nathan.

Nathan only responded with a faint smile.

Jason whispered something to the woman in red with a low cleavage. The woman turned closer to Nathan and grabbed Nathan's arm. Nathan was a little surprised and immediately pulled his arm back. But again Jason whispered back to the woman who was still next to him and the woman also immediately approached Nathan. Nathan dodges because Nathan thinks the woman wants to pass. But the woman sat on Nathan's lap.

Jason laughed at Nathan who continued to refuse to be touched by the comfort women. They even bravely kissed Nathan's face.

" Please stop!" Nathan finally. Feeling deeply disturbed by their intense touch to his body and face.

Nathan stood up and looked at Jason who seemed to be enjoying Nathan which he might think was very stupid.

" If this is what I have to meet for your project. I'm retreating!" Nathan said firmly and wanted to get out of the room.

Jason's laughter immediately lost hearing Nathan's words were firm and not playing. He immediately orders Mark to drive Nathan out. Quickly. Mark blocked the door so Nathan couldn't get out of his room.

Nathan took a deep breath holding back the emotions that were starting to overflow.

" We haven't had dinner yet, Mr. Nathan." Said Mark still standing in front of the Door.

" It's not necessary. Our cooperation is off, Mark." Nathan's refutation stifled his emotions.

" Come, Mr. Nathan. Doesn't life only once. Why don't we enjoy with these beautiful women."

" I'm sorry Mr. Jason! It seems like our thinking is different."

" Or maybe you don't like women?" Lips Jason.

Nathan looked up at Jason with a sneer at him. " I don't care what you think." Nathan remained calm.

" Come on." Just talk to Jason again.

" Stop Mark!" nathan's orders to Mark.

" Don't let him out, Mark. Before he accompanied me to drink or to have fun with this woman." Jason warned Mark.

The irritated Nathan immediately pulled Mark's hand . But it turns out Mark has put up his horses. Nathan immediately tries to get rid of Mark's body but Mark quickly dodges and maintains his position.

" Deploy, Mark!" jason's orders again.

Nathan is defeated high and the energy tries hard so as not to hit a quick Mark attack. But still lost agile with Nathan's movement. Mark's attack makes his horses imperfect and Nathan seizes the opportunity and finally Nathan is able to get out of the room.
