Nicholas and Renata's engagement went smoothly according to plan, although there was not the slightest smile on Renata's lips. However, there is something strange about this engagement event, where the event does not invite guests as usual. The event was attended by only two families.
"Darling, why did your face look so moody?" rehan whispered to Naura the wife.
"There's nothing, Pa. I just feel a little dizzy" Naura said.
"Hmm, I know why you don't look happy, honey. You must not be willing if Renata is engaged to Nicholas, because you want Nathan who should be with Renata," said Rehan who unfortunately only dared to say in his heart.
"Emm, are you dizzy? then, you just sit there, because it's not nice if we go straight home. Later Rajendra and his wife will think strangely," Rehan pointed to the sofa located in the corner of the room.
"It's not necessary, Pa. It's not good if I sit far away from you. The impression is that I avoid them," Naura refused, while publishing a smile that seemed forced on her lips.
Meanwhile, in the pool area of Rajendra's residence, Renata sits pensively, brooding about her relationship with Nathan, the young man she desperately longs for now.
"Nathan, how are you doing now? where are you? i'm kangen!" muttered Renata while wiping the clear liquid dripping from the corner of her eyes.
"You know .. I'm now engaged to your crafty sister. I hope you come home soon because I'm afraid that once I graduate, I'll be married to that cunning guy." again Renata muttered hoping that his words could be heard by the young man who was on his mind now.
"It turns out you're here? I've been looking for you!"
Renata shrieked in shock at hearing the voice of someone who appeared suddenly. The girl immediately turned to the direction of the voice and saw the figure of the man she now hated so much. Who else would that be if it wasn't Nicholas. The man he considered the most selfish man after his papa.
"Why are you here?" cetus Renata looked back to the front.
Nicholas smiled and landed his body sitting next to the girl who was now his fiancee.
"Of course look for my fiancee who suddenly disappeared" said Nicholas casually. The man was completely unaffected by Renata's cynical attitude towards him.
"Don't be a sweet ass in front of me! no matter how sweet you are, it will never make me crumble, and love you. Just so you know, I hate my ex-boyfriend Roby, but my hate isn't as big as my hate for you. You're more cunning than Roby."
"Don't equate me with your ex-boyfriend! we're both completely different,"
Renata screeched and snorted at the words that were thrown from Nicholas' mouth.
"What's the difference between you two? you and him are the same, equally cunning, because both take advantage of the situation, just different positions. He used me, because I was the son of Rajendra's father, while you ..you used your father's wealth and power to achieve your wishes, even though you know clearly that I love Nathan who is very close to you. You take advantage of the situation, where Nathan is struggling now to prove himself to be successful" Renata said at length and cynically.
Nicholas smiled again. His hand suddenly moved ruffling Renata's hair. "You're funny when you're angry like this. Love me more, "The man seemed not to be offended at all by the cynical speech that had just come out of Renata's mouth.
"Please get rid of your hands! don't expect that if you act sweet like this, my feelings can change. I won't!" concluded Renata while brushed aside Nicholas' hand violently. The girl also directly stood up from where she was sitting and immediately passed away leaving Nicholas without saying goodbye.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Meanwhile, deep in London, an elderly man walks into a room now occupied by Nathan. Who else would that old man be if not Nurdin.
Yes, today is the first day Nathan officially lives in the luxurious Nurdin residence. The young man was also given a very luxurious room and announced as his granddaughter to all the residents of the house.
Nurdin knocked on Nathan's door slowly, but there was no word from the inside. Nurdin tried again, but the results remained the same.
"Where is he? did he take a nap?" inner Nurdin while looking at the circular watch on his wrist.
"It's three in the afternoon, I don't think it's possible for him to sleep" Nurdin said as he tried to open the door slowly. The door to the room was not locked at all.
"Alex!" call Nurdin who still acts as if he does not know that the young man is Nathan his grandson.
Nurdin stepped towards the balcony, to confirm Nathan's whereabouts, as his call had no response at all.
Sure enough, the young man he was looking for was on the balcony and seemed to be focusing on his painting tools.
"Here you turned out. Cariin's grandfather from earlier" said Nurdin, standing next to Nathan.
"Eh, Grandpa! what's looking for me, cake?" Nathan scrunched his forehead.
"Nothing really matters, just Grandpa just wanted to have a chat with you. Grandpa hasn't had a chatmate in this house since your grandmother died and my daughter got married" Nurdin smiled.
"Oh, is that so, Cake? all right then, I'll accompany Grandpa to a chat. Later I can continue the painting, just a little more" Nathan put his brush on the table.
"What are you painting?". Nurdin stared at the painting, which was 90 percent complete.
Nathan did not reply at all, but the young man smiled with a reddened face, enduring the embarrassment.
"What are you painting, your boyfriend?" nurdin and Nathan asked.
Yes, what Nathan is painting is Renata's face.
Nurdin sighed, feeling a little guilty about not being honest with Nathan, when he saw his grandson's love for the girl who was now legally Nicholas' fiancee.
"Beautiful!" praise Nurdin, smiling on the sidelines of his guilt.
"Yes, Cake. She is beautiful! for some reason, these few days, I feel bad, for thinking about him. But I hope he's okay there" Nathan said, making Nurdin feel even more guilty.
"Whose painting is it?" Nurdin pointed towards the painting that he actually knew, whose face was on the painting.
"Oh, if this one, my mama, Kek." Nathan said, looking at Naura's face painting with a longing look.
"You miss your mom, don't you?" nurdin and Nathan asked, saying yes.
"I miss both of these women. But, for the time being, I have to try to hold back my longing, for the sake of my dreams," Nathan said with a faint look and a faint smile.
