Forever Young's
CHAPTER XVIII Truth Revealed

Nuna opened her eyes slowly and found herself in a hospital bed. He saw the back of his right hand pierced by an infusion needle.

"Miss!" Tanio who was sitting on the sofa rushed over to Nonanya.

"Tanio?" Nuna who was still dizzy tried to sit down. "I fainted?"

"Yes Miss, the son of the Anderson Family Head who escorted Miss to the hospital," Tanio replied.

"Rigel? How did he bring me here?"

Tanio. "I don't know. He just called me to come here. Once I'm here, there's only you in the room."

"Okay, I understand. What did the doctor say?"

Tanio grimacing. "Miss, be honest with me. Did Miss eat out?"

Nuna stunned. "Yes." Yeah."

"The doctor said Miss had severe diarrhea so Miss's body was dehydrated. Why didn't Miss be honest with me this morning?"

"sorry. I have to take part in the archery race today."

"Miss! Is the race more important than your health?"

"Of course not. But I have promised and the Pangestu Family never reneged on its promise" Nuna said firmly.

Tanio took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Miss.. Miss said the right thing. But Miss remains wrong for neglecting Miss's health."

Nuna understood the concerns of her personal assistant. "good. I will pay more attention to my health in the future."

"Yes. Miss has to." Tanio looked at Nonanya. "Then what is Miss eating out?"

"I just ate a little grilled chicken."

"How little?"

"Just the end of a fork."

The tip of the fork and make severe diarrhea? Tanio's confused. Is it because Nonanya is properly cared for so little food that does not fit the Nonanya can hurt so badly?

If true, then Tanio could not let this happen. Because Miss could be in grave danger if someone attempted to poison her through food. Should she consult a nutritionist to let Miss eat out more than once a month?

"What are you thinking?" tanya Nuna who saw Tanio was silent for quite a while.

Tanio. "Miss, I'll call outside for a second. Excuse me, Miss." Tanio brought his phone closer to his ear as he exited Nuna's ward.

Rigel's not coming home. He was with Bimo and Joshua in the smoking area in the hospital courtyard.

Joshua looked at Rigel who was smoking, "So your hands are actually healed. But you pura to make Nuna regret it?"

Rigel nodded.

"I think you should stop immediately before the problem gets bigger" Bimo suggested.

"Where's the problem?"

"Yes when Nuna finds out you're lying."

"Gue still has his contract," Rigel declined. He didn't want to give up this early.

"OK, fine. You have a handle. But you don't know in the future how ama Nuna, right?"

Rigel looked confusedly at Joshua. "What do you mean, I'm ama Nuna?"

"Maybe you're in love and Nuna knows you're lying so your relationship is tough?" Joshua was actually doubtful of his hypothesis.

Rigel threw out a cigarette and stepped on it. "Ngaco. Yes, I fell in love with a girl who even said irit."

Bimo chuckled and patted Rigel on the shoulder. "Be careful what you say."

"Okay, we just want to express our opinions. How you do it, it's up to you." Joshua surrendered.

"We're looking at Nuna now? My kids chatted me. They were in the waiting room" Bimo said.

"okay."

The three along with the members of the basketball team visit Nuna.

Tanio who was preparing medicine for Nonanya, stared at the shocked entourage of teenage boys who entered. Since when did you have a close friend? Men anyway!

"Nuna, how are you?"

"We bring fruit."

"Nuna lo sick what?"

"Geez, you're on the infusion!"

"Lo puke's face."

"Quiet, guys." Bimo stopped his friends from babbling. "Pepet healed Nuna." He put the fruit parcel on the table.

Nuna looked at them, "Thank you." Then his gaze focused on Rigel. He saw Rigel's right hand was still wrapped in a cast. "Bimo."

"Yes?"

Rigel was nervous to hear Nuna question. His left hand was hiding behind Bimo's sleeve. He pinched Bimo's arm as a sign.

"That's.. " Bimo hesitates - hesitates. "Gue nganter you take my car."

Rigel who heard it could only resign. It really seems that he dodged Nuna's question and didn't help her!

Nuna's doubts were answered. "good. Thank ye. I need more rest."

Bimo picks up a subtle eviction signal from Nuna. "OKAY. We're going home now. I hope you get better."

"Yes. Thank you." Thank you."

After they left, Nuna gave orders to Tanio, "Investigate Rigel. I suspect his hand has healed. If you need to hire a hacker to hack a hospital cctv."

"Good, Miss."

Tanio work very efficiently. Within an hour, he had already returned to Nuna's side delivering a report.

Nuna reads the writing on the ipad screen, then opens the hospital cctv video. He saw Rigel holding him with both hands. Allegedly right! Rigel was pretending all along.

"Hire a Lawyer."

"Yes?"

Nuna explained, "I have already signed a compensation agreement with Rigel. It should be invalid, because we have evidence that Rigel is faking an injury."

"Good, Miss."

◾◾◾

On the fourth day of Sports Week, after being allowed to go home last night, Nuna went to school as usual. He saw Rigel blocking his way.

"Why do you want to break our agreement?" asked Rigel staring at the one staring intently at Nuna.

Nuna looked at Rigel's hand that was no longer in the cast. "The agreement is invalid. You're not hurt."

"But I was injured initially. So you can't avoid this deal."

"No. Those are two different things. You lied to your second injury, so that the compensation agreement should never exist" said Nuna, who stared straight at Rigel.

The two stood face to face with staring at each other, which made the students see them curious.

Rigel's eyebrows are shrinking.

Nuna thought she would get angry - angry, but Rigel's expression changed quickly.

Rigel smirked, "Grandfather you know this?"

"You're threatening me?"

"Oh. Papa I also have renewed cooperation with your grandfather's company at that time. And if papa I diggatalin again.. " Rigel brought his face closer and whispered in Nuna's ear, "The cost of changing his losses is three times that of before."

Nuna retreated and kept her distance, "Why are you so petty?"

Rigel stood up straight again, putting his left hand in his pants pocket. He chuckled and said, "Eyes change eyes, teeth change. If you cancel our agreement, the agreement with your grandfather's company is also void."

Nuna's hands clenched at the side of her skirt. He immediately drew his breath and performed a sitali breathing technique. After her emotions calmed down again, Nuna's clenched hands relaxed as before.

"So how?"

Nuna does not answer Rigel, but grabs her phone to call Tanio.

"Hello, Miss."

"Tanio, retract the lawsuit" Nuna said.

"What's? Miss really mean it?" Tanio across the phone doesn't believe his lady changed her mind quickly.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Good, Miss."

Nuna disconnected the call and looked at Rigel.

"Good," said Rigel. He then threw his bag at Nuna. "There are 22 days left.

Nuna did not respond to Rigel and simply walked after him.
