》There's time? I'd like to meet you. But just the two of you. Without Reza. This afternoon, at 11, I was waiting at the cafe in front of the complex gate.
Messenger from Kayla early in the morning already nangkring and adorned my phone screen. And it practically affected my mind throughout the morning. Why would he want to meet me? What is he going to accomplish? Or precisely...?
Please, Nara. Think positively.
But the PR for me is: how do I meet him alone? Thats impossible. I might have been allowed to go out alone, especially without Reza's knowledge. I also feel hard to get out of the house without his permission, he's my husband.
But I have to meet Kayla. She must have wanted to pass on some important information to me.
Come on, Nara, think about how to get out without Mas Reza but stick with his permission.
Minutes of time were wasted thinking and finding ways to get out, and in the end I got an inspiration.
My papa.
Well, I could definitely go out with my dad.
《 Morning, Dad. Can I ask you a favor?
One minute, my phone's clinking. Whatsapp reply from my father.
》What, Son? Whatever it is. I'm sure Dad's filling up.
《 I want to go out to meet someone at 11. He asked me to come without Mas Reza. Can you help me? Accompany me. I pretended to come here and take me away. Justjust please.
》OK, Darling.
That afternoon Reza went to the hospital to visit Alfie. It made it easier for me to ask for permission, even my own father who called him until he agreed, my mother and Ihsan finally allowed it. I told them that I wanted to spend time with my father, making up for the twenty-two years that went by without him. Unsuspecting, everyone understood.
"Originally all the bodyguards came along" Reza said.
"Yes, Mas. Sure."
"Don't do anything weird."
"Yes, promise. I'm going with my dad."
"Yes already. Careful, yes, dear."
"Yes. Already, yeah. I'll go first."
Arriving at the cafe, Kayla has not arrived yet. My father and I went in and sat down first at the corner table and stuck to the wall. We have something in common about the comfort of the table in the corner. I just found out that strange thing was coming down from him.
"Excuse me, want a message now?" ask a waitress.
I ordered avocado juice with extra chocolate milk, while my dad just ordered a cup of black coffee. Including the bodyguards who were sitting at the table some distance away from us, even though they enjoyed the coffee, but their focus remained on me.
For a long time, Kayla came and was greeted with less comfort. Unexpectedly, the bodyguards ransacked his body and his handbag. I forbade it, but they said - I mean one of them said that they were just following my husband's orders and that couldn't be ignored. So, again, yes.
"Sorry, Kay," I said.
He just nodded, and we sat down. "I'm sorry, but it's out of agreement" he said, watching his father.
"Calm down" I said. "This is my father. I'm not allowed to go out on my own. I don't think this is a problem, is it? The important thing is I didn't come with Mas Reza. Hmm?"
As if he had no choice and did not want to waste time, he understood. Later then...
"What do you want to say?"
He did not say anything, just reached into his bag and took out a photograph of a well-built man, with his forehead slightly pursed without being able to be covered.
"Nicholas?" dad said.
I grinned. "Dad knows?"
"Yes," he said. "Lawyer too. Once a team with Rizki."
I looked at Kayla again. "I don't know. Can you please explain? What do you mean you asked me to meet and what does that have to do with this guy?"
"That's my ex-fiancee. The lawyer who helped Salsya get rid of Alvaro."
Oh smooth escaped my lips. "Then?"
"He's Aulian's real father. The man who impregnated Salsya."
I was staring, gaping, and...
Speecless....
