"Where do you live, son?" asked Nurdin who immediately felt interested to know Nathan more deeply.
Nathan smiled as he mentioned a flat which is the cheapest rental in London and has standard facilities.
"Well, do you feel at home living there?" ask Nurdin again.
"Again, Cake. Although standard, but still comfortable to live in" said Nathan.
"Emmm, what exactly was your purpose in coming to London for? you want to go to college?"
"On my visa it was written, the purpose for college, Grandpa, but I decided to postpone it first, because I still have a lot to learn, because I still have a lot to learn, to be able to compete with other students who have been confirmed great-great,"
Nurdin nodded his head understanding. "But, if I look and I'm pretty sure that you're actually ready to go straight to college. I feel that you are quick to adapt to anything including in the academic field. Grandpa suggests you better go straight to college. For the business of the list let me ask my assistant to take care of it" Nurdin gave a suggestion.
Nathan was silent and gave no response. The young man was instead staring at the old man in front of him with his brows furrowed.
"Why are you looking at me like that, Alex boy?" nurdin's eyebrows were also sharply linked.
"I'm curious, Cake. Why is Grandpa so nice to me, when we just met today. Are you not afraid that I'm a bad person?"
Nurdin was silent, confused as to what answer.
"Yes too? why do I trust this child so easily?" nurdin whispered to himself.
"Why, Cake?" Nathan repeated the question.
"That's because I feel strong, Son. My heart told me you were a good man, so I believed my heart. If, then you are evil, let it be my own misfortune" Nurdin gave a wise answer.
"Then, thank you, Sister for the positive thoughts Grandpa gave me. Well, as Grandpa said earlier, I have to go to college because the sooner the better. In addition, I have a promise that I must keep to someone in Indonesia," Nathan said firmly.
"Is he the one you love?" Nurdin smiled, flirting.
Nathan neither denied nor asserted, but from the young man's smile that seemed embarrassed, it can be concluded that Nurdin's allegations are true.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Meanwhile, in the homeland, Nicholas seemed to be rolling up the arms of his shirt with a sparkling face. Why does the man's face look happy? that's because he heard his own papa conversation with a man who wanted to match his daughter with Nicholas .
Nicholas knew clearly that his papa partner was a famous businessman and papa from a girl who had managed to steal his heart lately.
Nicholas pegs himself in front of the mirror, making sure that his appearance is perfect to meet the girl or not. Yes, the girl called her and invited her to meet because there were things that the girl wanted to talk to her.
"You are so handsome, Nicho! who wouldn't fall under your charms? no exception to him .. he will definitely be fascinated with you, Handsome!" w spoke to his own reflection in the mirror.
After feeling his appearance was maximal, Nicholas came out of the room and while whistling a little, running down the stairs.
"Well, it looks like you're happy, Nicho! you want to meet your mom's daughter-in-law, right?" ask Naura who for two months is not as happy as before. The middle-aged woman's smile, Not as smooth as before, since there was no news of Nathan.
"Yes,Ma. Mama knows!" nicholas smiled broadly.
Naura smiled faintly and only briefly. Somehow there was a sense of unwillingness in his heart when he heard Nicholas' matchmaking plan with the girl.
"Pray in yes, Ma! let her and my love be reciprocated" Nicholas said again and Naura nodded weakly.
Seeing the nodding of his mother's head that didn't seem sincere, made Nicholas exhale. He felt that his mother's attitude was like that, still related because of his loss to Nathan and he was quite familiar with it.
"Ma, I'll go first!" Naura nodded and Nicholas smiled as he kissed Naura's cheek, then passed away.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Nicholas arrives at a restaurant where he makes a dinner with his girlfriend. The man's eyes circled to look for the girl's whereabouts. When he saw a girl sitting alone, a sweet smile was tucked into Nicholas' lips, because the girl he saw was the girl he wanted to meet tonight.
"Hi, have you been waiting a long time?" nicholas asked as soon as he stood near the girl.
The girl looked a little stricken in shock because of the position of the girl who was daydreaming earlier. The girl stares at Nicholas and stares at him very sharply.
"Don't break my hair! I don't like it!" cetus girl while tidying her hair back.
"Sorry!" Nicholas chuckled as he pinched the girl's nose with a frenzy.
The girl quickly shook Nicholas' hand and turned back towards Nicholas.
"Udah, don't be angry! did you order any food?" Nicholas switched the conversation, reaching for the menu book at the table near where he was sitting. The man was deliberately immediately seen focusing on the menu book to cover up the pain in his heart when the girl's hand in front of him, brushed her hand very hard earlier. Nicholas did realize that the girl of his tribe had no feelings for him. However, he believes that gradually the puja will definitely melt later.
"I ordered a drink because I didn't eat. If you want to eat, please!" answer the girl with a sniff.
"Why not eat?" Nicholas scrunched his forehead.
"Because my purpose is not to eat. I just want to talk to Brother about something" said the girl.
"What is that, Renata?"
Yes, the girl who can make Nicholas fall in love is Renata, an innocent girl who can make Nicholas' playboy soul disappear.
"I just want you to reject this match, because I don't want to be betrothed to you.
Nicholas' heart immediately hurt like someone was sticking a knife on top. However, the man was still trying to be calm as if not distracted by Renata's refusal.
"Why don't you want to? is it because you still want to go to college? if so, we won't get married soon either, right? I'll wait until you graduate" Nicholas said, concluding for himself the reason why Renata could object.
"Not because of that!"
"So, because of what?" Nicholas scrunched his forehead.
"Because I don't have any feelings for Big Brother,"
"As time goes by, that feeling will be able to arise right? especially if we spend a lot of time together,"
"But still can't Brother!"
"Can't why? you can't say you can't if you haven't tried it yet,"
"Because there's already a man I love, and that's Nathan!"
Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, Nicholas gasped in shock and was completely speechless.
"But isn't Nathan gone far?"
"I know that, but he promised before he left that he would come back when he succeeds. He'll prove to papa that he can make me happy by his own efforts without any treasure from papa,"
"And you believe that?"
"Of course I believe. Even now I don't know where he is, but I'm sure he'll never break his promise. I think Nicholas understood Nathan, too" Renata said with great confidence.
"But, I'm not sure, Renata! you two are still teenagers, you two are still unstable and you will definitely change as you get older. It's not logical that a handsome guy like Nathan wouldn't meet the probably much prettier girls out there. So, don't be so naive and just believe it, Renata!" nicholas said, no less sure than Renata.
Renata was stunned, starting to be affected by the words that had just been thrown from Nicholas' mouth. However, the next second the girl shook her head quickly.
"Whatever you say, I'm still convinced that Nathan will one day return and keep his word" he said, denying Nicholas' words.
"What if I want to continue this match? because either way our parents have agreed and plus I've fallen in love with you makes it so hard to let go of you for Nathan even if he's my brother,"
"Arghhn I don't want to!" Renata stood up from where he was sitting and left Nicholas who rubbed his face violently.
