Nathan did not expect that his painting entitled I pursue dreams appreciated to reach hundreds of billions if it was restored. In addition to the painting, there are also several other paintings such as paintings depicting a mother's love for her child that are sold even though not as expensive as paintings purchased by her. Mr. Albert Dawson, but at least Nathan's achievements can really be aligned with the masters of painting.
"Congratulations, Alex. You're really great!" praise Nurdin with a look of admiration.
"Thank you very much, Cake. I also did not expect that I would be able to get to this stage. It's all thanks, Grandpa. Thank you very much, Cake!" nathan said with a glittering look, moved.
"Don't thank me! But thank God, who brought us together. Besides, all the achievements you have are thanks to the talents you have, son," Nurdin smiled sincerely. For some reason, Nurdin was so fond of the young man in front of him, when he had just met..The old man was also confused as to why that could be so.
The two men of different ages, silent for a while, enjoyed the cool breeze in the garden behind the gallery owned by Nurdin. The two of them seemed to be busy with their own thoughts.
"How is your mom doing now? did your mom get up from her coma?" nathan whispered to himself. To be honest behind his happiness, the young man's heart was still unable to fully feel calm because it did not know at all the news of Naura's mother.
"How is Renata now? why does my heart feel bad this week, thinking about him? did something happen to Renata?" again Nathan spoke to his own heart, though the heart gave no answer to his question.
"Son Alex why are you quiet? is there something you're thinking about?" nurdin's beacon revived Nathan from his subconscious.
"Emm, no Cake. I'm just still getting late in an atmosphere that's completely beyond my expectations" Nathan replied, lying.
"Oh like that?" Nurdin nodded his head.
"Oh yes, said my assistant, all your college business is done. You can go to college next week" Nurdin continued.
"Is that so, Cake? all righty! thanks again, Mother!" Nathan threw his sweet smile.
"One more thing, if you don't mind, you just move to grandpa's house. Because Grandpa only lives alone with the assistants. Grandpa's wife died a long time ago. While the only grandfather's daughter has lived in Indonesia with her husband. Do you want to?" Nurdin looked at Nathan with a hopeful look. For some reason, the old man wanted Nathan to stay with him.
"But, Kek ... Isn't that too much?". Nathan looks bad.
"Not at all. If you stay at Grandpa's house, I'll be very happy, because like I said, I live here by myself. You want ya, live with grandpa?" the look on Nurdin's face was clear, making Nathan powerless to resist.
"Alright, Cake!" nathan finally agreed.
"Oh yeah, Mom, I wonder how Grandpa got to be a citizen here?" nathan asked expressing his curiosity.
Nurdin's lips immediately published a smile. His eyes seemed to be staring bringing his memories to the past.
"Grandfather is actually like you, coming to this country to achieve dreams. In this country, grandfather actually met a woman who could make me fall in love. She is Asian, but she is a citizen here. It was the woman who eventually became Grandpa's wife. At first, your grandparents' relationship was opposed, because I was thought to have no future. However, gradually, seeing the persistence of the grandfather, the parents of Grandpa's wife finally melted and blessed our relationship, but on one condition the grandfather should not bring their daughter to live in Indonesia. That's why Grandpa can become a citizen here, and occasionally return to Indonesia," explained Nurdin at length.
"Well, I got inspired by my grandfather's story, because my position is also the same as that of a grandfather who is considered not to have a future by my girlfriend's parents. That's why, I decided to prove to her papa that I wasn't really as bad as she said I was. I promise that I will succeed and make his daughter happy from my own efforts" Nathan is seen speaking impassively.
"Grandfather is also now searching for the grandson of the missing grandfather. Unfortunately, my grandfather did not have a photo. Grandfather plans to leave the gallery and the company of the grandfather to the grandfather's grandson," Nurdin continued. The man's face again looked sad.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Nurdin put his phone on the table after just receiving a call.
"CK how is this? I can't go back to Indonesia to attend Nicholas' engagement. Though I promised to be present" Nurdin murmured as he exhaled. Yes, the man, who is almost 70 years old, just received a call from his assistant if there are important things in the company that he must finish. The company owned by Nurdin is a company in-laws that he managed until now.
"I'd better call Nicholas and apologize if I can't come. He'll understand, for sure" Nurdin grabbed his phone again and made a call to Nicholas's number.
Not waiting for long, a call was answered by Nicholas. After making small talk, Nurdin finally expressed his apology that could not fulfill the promise to be present at his granddaughter's engagement. And as expected, Nicholas understood enough and did not mind at all.
"Then, please send the photo of your future wife to Grandpa right now! Grandpa was curious, curious, as beautiful as any girl who could conquer the heart of a Nicholas" Nurdin said in a teasing tone.
"Ah, Grandpa could have! anyway she's a pretty cake. I'll send the picture to grandpa later" said Nicholas from the other end.
"Grandpa wait! if you can send it now! otherwise, later Grandfather could not sleep out of curiosity,"Nurdin slipped a joke on his words.
"Yes, yes, cake!" nicholas said in his small laugh.
The call was cut off and Nurdin put his phone back where it was. Just as the phone was on the table, it went off again, but not a call but a message.
Apparently it was from Nicholas who directly sent Renata photos.
"Well, it's worth Nicholas falling in love. The woman was beautiful like this, "inner Nurdin smiled and looked at Renata's beautiful face.
Then the old man turned to the toilet, where Nathan had gone.
"Why was Alex in the toilet?" inward Nurdin who accidentally nudged Nathan's phone left until it fell.
Nurdin grabbed the phone and accidentally pressed a switch on.
The blue light immediately caught Nurdin's eyes, but, that's not what shocked the old man, but the photo wallpaper on the phone, where Nathan posed romantically with Renata during the school breakup night first.
"Not this girl, the same girl as Nicholas' fiancee? He also asked about Alex, right? what exactly is going on? meaning Nicholas really knows Alex and he snatches his girlfriend," Nurdin draws his own conclusions in his heart.
