Forever Young's
CHAPTER XLIII First Date

Rigel's all day in a bad mood. He was upset with Nuna. They have confirmed each other's feelings but the girl does not want to be in a relationship with him because his grandfather forbids him.

Argh. Rigel picked up a cigarette and wanted to smoke but Nuna did not like the smell of smoke on her shirt. He eventually restrained himself and threw the cigarette into the trash.

The bell rang and Rigel returned to class. He saw Nuna doing math exercises.

Nuna stopped writing as she sensed Rigel's presence beside her. "Are you angry?" whispered.

Rigel grunting. "No, I'm not angry."

He was really angry, Inner Nuna. But the girl was also helpless, she had to obey her grandfather's ban. Nuna who used to think that everything would go smoothly before the arrival of Rigel who infiltrated her heart.

"You're angry" Nuna said in a statement.

Rigel glanced at the girl. Both of his black eyes reflected his shadow. He sighed and ruffled Nuna's hair. "Lo can't be close to other guys besides me."

Nuna frowned. "I don't agree."

"Why? I know you don't want us to date, but I also don't want you to be told by other guys."

"Oh," muttered Nuna who understood Rigel's intentions. "Good."

Rigel's lips curled upwards. "Good."

They also remain friends with special feelings. Rigel sighed as he was in a statusless relationship with his first love. But it's okay! As long as Nuna remained by his side, Rigel would not make trouble with the status of those who were still friends.

Joshua elbowed Bimo. They were sitting opposite Rigel and Nuna in the school cafeteria.

"Shh, Bim," whispered Joshua. "I feel a strange atmosphere between them."

Bimo observes Rigel feeding Nuna. "Yes woi, there's a pink filter between them."

Rigel's ears turned red hearing the conversation of his two friends. He looked at Bimo and Joshua who had finished lunch. "What the hell are you on, envy says."

Bimo chuckles. "Is this official?"

Rigel's lips pucker. "No. Go away when it's done. Don't bother me with Nuna."

Joshua was about to reply to Rigel's words when Bunga suddenly approached their table.

"Joshua, I need to talk to you."

Joshua's expression turned moody. Rigel whispered to Bimo. "They fight?"

Bimo shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.

"Joshua, I need to talk to you like please," Flower repeated.

Joshua let out a deep breath and got out of his chair. He looked at the Flower, "Follow me."

Flowers follow Joshua to the school garden.

"What's wrong?" ask Joshua.

The flower bit his lips. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you yesterday."

"Gue know, you don't have to apologize."

"Why do you keep me?"

"Flower, I know, you already know how I feel about you, right?" asked Joshua while staring intently at the Flower.

Pupil Flower vibrates. "What do you mean?"

"Gue likes you."

Flowers silent.

"But I'm tired of flowers. I'm tired of talking about your fiancee every day. Please give me some time." Joshua smiled faintly. "I'm sorry, I'm selfish. I'll come to you if my emotions are calm."

"Joshua, sorry," murmured a wiry flower.

Joshua did not respond and turned away. Flowers stare at her best friend's back with teary eyes. Both of her hands clenched at the side of her skirt.

Nuna yawns. The night wind hit his face so he was sleepy. Rigel glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Nuna who he was screwing over.

"It's still far away?" ask Nuna. He had just finished piano lessons when Rigel suddenly appeared in front of his teacher's house and took him away. Of course initially his personal assistant, Tanio prevents Rigel from abducting Nonanya. Rigel called Suherman and asked for permission.

Rigel chuckled, "A little while more."

Moments later, the motor stopped in front of a building.

Nuna got off the bike and observed the building in front of her. "Why did you take me to the hotel?"

"Don't get me wrong" Rigel said frantically. "Our goal is on the rooftop."

Rigel smiled mysteriously. "Follow it out." He took Nuna by the hand and entered the hotel.

The hotel manager greeted them, "Good night, Mr. Anderson."

"Night," Rigel replied. "You've prepared everything, right?"

"Of course, Mr. Anderson. Please come this way." The hotel manager led the way and led them into the elevator.

The elevator kept going up until it stopped at the top floor. The elevator door opened and Nuna was shocked by what she saw.

"Helicopter?"

Rigel rubbed his non-itchy nose. "Gue wants to take a look at the view from above."

The two then sit in the back seat and install safety and headphones that protect the ears.

Rigel smiled widely and looked at Nuna. "We're leaving."

The helicopter slowly climbed. Nuna looked out and was blown away by the twinkling view of the city lights.

"Beautiful?"

"Yes," muttered Nuna.

Rigel observes the girl and is excited, Nuna likes her surprise. Although they are not in a relationship now, Rigel still wants to make their first date amazing so that Nuna will not forget it. He could not wait to give the girl another surprise.

After an hour around the city, the helicopter returned to the hotel rooftop. Rigel helps Nuna down.

"Thank you, Rigel," said Nuna.

"Don't thank me, we're ahem, best friends for now."

The corner of Nuna's lips lifted and Rigel was blown away. Just this time she saw Nuna smiling sincerely which was different from her business smile.

"Yes." Yeah."

Rigel's hand clutched his pounding heart. The tone is so pretty!

"Rigel?" Nuna waved in front of Rigel's face.

Rigel regained his senses and pretended to cough. "Sorry, sorry. Let me anter you home."

"What do you think of that daydreaming like that?" ask Nuna curiously.

"Gue doesn't daydream, Nuna. I'm blown away by your smile" replied Rigel honestly.

Nuna frowned. He pressed the place where his heart was beating faster. "Don't tease me."

Rigel laughs. "Can Nuna Callista be embarrassed too?"

Nuna's cheeks are warming up. "Who is ashamed?" Nuna immediately performed the sitali breathing technique to restore her calm.

Rigel's hand pulled the girl's cheeks. "What are you doing?"

With her cheeks still being pulled, Nuna replied, "I'm doing a sitali breathing technique."

Rigel's eyebrows raised, "Sitali? What'sthat?"

"You can find it on the internet."

Rigel frees both of Nuna's cheeks and shuffles her hair. "No way, I want you to be straight up."

Nuna rubbed her cheek and looked at Rigel. "good. Please take me home now."

"Okay, Princess." Rigel takes Nuna's hand to the elevator. He took Nuna to his house.

"Thank you" said Nuna, who gave Rigel her helmet.

"Gue already said, you don't need to bother with me Nuna," said Rigel with dissatisfaction. He wanted to pull the girl's cheek to warn her.

Nuna blinked her eyes, "Good. Be careful on the road."

"Yes. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Rigel started the engine. "Lo get in."

"No. I'll see you go first."

Rigel smiled and then took out his bike.

Nuna looked at Rigel's figure, which was getting smaller and smaller so she could no longer see it. He then entered the house with a feeling he could not define.
