Just A Professional Relationship
S2 - Episode Six

His meeting with Frans made Nadin quite pounding. Not because he was happy, but worried about dismantling the story he was trying to cover from everyone. About what happened between the two of them while in America.

When meeting outside the building, it feels like Nadin wants to run to avoid. But if he did, it would make Frans think he was still thinking about them. So, he tried hard to make it look ordinary. Because he did not have any special feelings for the man at all.

When he saw Axel's expression when he saw him coming with Frans, there was a nervousness that appeared. He did not want to make Axel prejudiced at all. So, he thought what happened first would be better to be kept by himself.

Only, he never knew that circumstances still could not let him live quietly. The arrival of Frans and his family to Indonesia, seemed to be a menacing disease whose seeds he had made himself in America. Now, it is just a matter of waiting whether the disease will heal, or even get worse.

“You've met Mr Adya?”

“Already. It was introduced by Stefan. She asked you too.”

“oya? Later I have to say hello to Adya sir. Uh, but does he know who you are?”

“So I said that he's your girlfriend,” said Stefan quickly. “Continue the expression of the father was like to say ‘oh so this is the person who took my son-in-law so’. While staring full of disappointment.”

“Narang! Mr. Adya is really good, really. He said he wanted to give me a chance to grow the business.”

“Hey, his son, right, I. So I know better what dad thinks.”

“I even wonder why you could be his son Pak Adya. What's wrong with having a kid like you?!”

In the middle of the conversation, Nadin who was initially relaxed while also joking, was immediately surprised by the presence of several women.

Four mothers came closer. One of them, calling his name. He almost choked when he saw who it was.

“Lho, Miss Ana?”

Ana is Frans' mother. Of course, the two of them met in America.

“That's right, really Nadin! Frans suddenly said that Nadin was here too. The boy loves surprises.”

“Eh, that's really Nadin, right? Which singer?” said the other mothers. The four of them continued chatting coolly, while continuing to look towards Nadin who looked confused.

“Iya, really,” Reply Ana. He gripped Nadin's arm and pulled her closer.

“Wah... yummy yes, Ms. Ana has a potential daughter-in-law artist.”

“My child is the most if you are looking for a partner.”

The mother's conversation seemed to be a lightning bolt that struck Nadin's body. Instantly he felt goosebumps, because Axel could definitely hear everything. It made him unable to look back at all.

“Ikut first let's go for a minute, I want to see you said.”

Ana intends to pull Nadin's arm and take him for a walk. At that time Axel who was increasingly confused, intended to prevent Nadin from leaving. “Nad!”

Nadin and Ana looked back.

“Eh, sorry for Nadin's friend. I'll borrow the nadinnya for a second. Important,” said Ana. Then continued walking, still while wrapping his hands on Nadin's non-pinkling arms.

***

Five months earlier, in the United States.

Of course Nadin felt tired with all the activities he did. Especially in the midst of the unusual hot air he got in Indonesia. It's just that all the busyness makes him feel happy also because it seems to get a new life.

“Nadin! Where are you?!”

The coach had called many times while angry because Nadin had not yet arrived at the location, even though the show will soon begin.

“Ma-sorry, Sir. I'm not here much longer! Sorry!”

What a stupid slack because he forgot his violin in the apartment. Halfway through, he had to return. He woke up bad today. Even though he took a taxi, he was too late.

Before actually reaching the location, Nadin realized that his cash would not be enough to pay for the taxi he was riding. So, he had to get off before his argument grew. Then he ran along the road.

Nadin was already indifferent to his appearance which may have been very chaotic. He just hopes to get there in time. At least a few minutes before the show starts.

Along the way, many people were a little upset about being almost hit by Nadin. Unfortunately, there is one person who must be a victim.

A man who was calling by the fountain did not see Nadin running towards him. Until his shoulder was hit hard, making the leather bag he was holding slightly thrown and into the pool. While the person himself is just smearing. It was Nadin who finally fell down.

“Hey, where are your eyes?!” sniffing the man who was the victim of the collision.

That's the first story of how Nadin and Frans met.

“Ma-sorry!” Nadin immediately got up and lowered his head full of guilt. “I'm in a hurry.”

Frans immediately panicked when he realized his bag was in the pool. Then take the object quickly, and check the contents that have not been saved.

He immediately drew a sharp look towards Nadin. With a face full of anger. Instantly made Nadin feel spooky. “You mean to ruin my life, huh? Know how important this thing is? Now you just smash it!” frans in front of Nadin's face.

“Sorry.. Sorry... I'll compensate later.”

“Huh, indemnity? Even this cannot be replaced with your life though!”

“Sorry! But can we discuss this later? I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry.”

Nadin intended to continue running, but Frans first gripped his arm. “You want to just run away, huh?”

“Ti-no! I'm really in a hurry. I am somewhat responsible after this..” said Nadin with eyes that began to glaze over.

“What's the guarantee?”

Nadin took out his passport from the bag, and gave it to Frans. “I'll be back,” he said, before continuing to run.

Frans is upset. Today, he will also face an important day because he will deal with prospective business partners. He has prepared the necessary documents. But all of it was destroyed instantly by a lame woman. And now he doesn't have time to reprint everything.

Frans glanced at the passport he held. Check the identity listed in it. At that time he realized that the person who hit him did not look like an American. However, he did not expect that he would meet people from the same country as him.

“Nadin Carmelia..”

The sharp-eyed man thought for a moment. That name and face were really no strangers to him. After a while, he remembered something.

“Nadin?” muttered. Then, he snorted loudly. “I have to make you responsible for all this.”
