The day had just changed, Nurdin was just about to close his eyes when the door opened suddenly. The elderly man was so gasped at the figure that appeared which was none other than his own daughter Naura and from behind the woman caught up with her husband Rehan.
"Naura, why are you here? shouldn't you be leaving today and arriving tomorrow?" nurdin asked on the sidelines of his shock.
"I can't wait to come here, Pa! I booked my ticket and left yesterday" Naura replied casually.
"Okay, gross! I haven't even had time to ask Nathan not to go home yet. I also haven't had time to ask the housekeeper to return Naura's photos to their original place" Nurdin condemned her stupidity.
"Why should you hurry? it's not that papa has said that papa sudan is recovering," Nurdin tried to quell his panic.
"Yes I know, Pa. At first I wanted to leave today, but suddenly Angga came and told me that Nathan was in London, only he didn't know where he was. That's why I'm impatient and rushed here. I just want to find Nathan's whereabouts in London, Pa." Naura looked very excited, inversely proportional to the reaction of the pale Nurdin.
Rehan can only express himself.
"London is wide, Naura. There's no way you can find him" Nurdin said.
"Nothing is impossible, Pa. I'm sure that Nathan will pursue his painting skills. I can find him at tourist attractions, because I'm sure he must be in one of those places,"
Nurdin was silent and no longer knew what to say. The elderly man can now only resign.
"Oh yeah, Pa, I was home first, but I didn't see any of my photos. Why is it like that?" finally, the question that Nurdin was so afraid of came out of Naura's mouth.
"Emm, it's because it's been so dusty and I asked the housekeeper to clean it up" Nurdin said, lying.
"Jiang, Cake!" suddenly the door to Nurdin's room opened.
Naura and two men of different ages turned to the door to see who had just come, who was none other than the figure whom Naura had longed for. Who else would he be if not Nathan.
Both Naura and Nathan gasped in shock. Naura's eyes grew with her mouth open, as did Nathan.
"Na-Nathan!" muttered Naura, twitching her eyes, between believing and not believing in her vision.
"Mama!" exclaimed Nathan who unfortunately only dared to say in his heart. The man's feelings are mixed now. Between the pleasure of seeing the woman who gave birth to him was fine, and the worry that the woman was angry and hated him. He thought his mother was still amnesiac and Rehan papa said as he had asked.
Without thinking for a second, Naura immediately hugged Nathan who was now standing like a statue.
"Nathan, you're here, son! mama misses you so much. Why did you leave your mother, honey? you're okay, right?" Naura hugs, holds both Nathan's cheeks, and flips Nathan's body more fully than it did three years ago.
"Sorry, Aunt. I'm Alex not Nathan," Alex is still trying to deny.
"Yes, you're Alex. You use your middle name. You are Nathan Alexander Pramono. I gave you that name when you were born. You're my Nathan, the boy I've been carrying for nine months, and I was born struggling. Mama couldn't have mistaken her child" Naura said with tears that had seeped out.
"Ma-mama remember everything?" nathan said with stammering eyes and glazed eyes.
"Ma, this isn't wrong, Mama. Perhaps this has been outlined by the Almighty, and inevitably we must live it," Nathan grasped Naura's hands and lowered them. "Now I'm relieved. With Mama remembering me, it makes me happy. I don't want to expect more" Nathan said with a clear liquid that, without him noticing, had already dripped down his cheek.
"Now what do you want, son? what do you want your mom to do to make up for wasted time?" said Naura with a little bit of eagerness.
"Nathan doesn't want anything. What I want Mama to be healthy and happy, it has become happiness for me," Nathan said sincerely. However, even though Nathan spoke like that, there was still something stuck in his mind, regarding the whereabouts of his mother in Nurdin's grandfather's room.
Then Naura turned her gaze, staring at her papa Nurdin.
"Pa, what does this mean? he's Nathan, the kid I'm looking for, Pa!" peekkik Naura while looking at her papa demanding an explanation.
"Papa? so ..." muttered Nathan while looking at Nurdin and Naura alternately.
"He's your grandfather, his mother's father, Nathan," Nathan's eyes grew perfectly, completely shocked by the reality he had just heard.
"I'm sorry papa, Naura! forgive Grandpa too. Nathan! actually, I knew from the beginning that you were my grandson. I know when the exhibition, I made a video call with Nicholas and he saw you ___"
"So Nicholas knows that too? but why would he keep it a secret, Pa? and why did papa keep it a secret too? is this all because of Nicholas? it's all her request, right?"nurdin had not finished his speech, Naura had snatched quickly, cutting off his papa's speech.
The woman also turned her gaze towards Rehan, looking at her husband with a very sharp gaze."And you, you too must have known your son's plan? you and he worked together to fool me. You deliberately kept it a secret from me, so that Nathan would not return, so that Nicholas's intention to have Renata, was realized. You two are really selfish. Nicholas is only concerned with his own happiness while you, for Nicholas' sake, have the heart to put aside your humanity," Naura looks really angry now.
"Tu-wait first! Nicholas' brother is engaged to Renata? what does this all mean?" Nathan opened his voice chiming in his mother's speech.
"Yes, Nicholas has taken a chance in your absence to have Renata,"
"Ma, this isn't right, is it? mom was joking, right?" Nathan shook his head, in disbelief.
"Mama is not __"
"Darling, you come with me for a moment! there's something important I want to talk about!" Rehan drew Naura's hand, took her out.
"I don't want to! why is he here? you are so selfish!" Naura brushed Rehan's hand off her wrist.
"I know that Nicholas is your son, but don't forget that Nathan is also my son. You should be fair and wise. You must know that Renata and Nathan love each other, but since you only think of Nicholas' happiness, you still fulfill your son's wishes. You're really selfish, Mas." Naura's eyes looked fiery as she let out her uneg-unegmya.
"If I were in your position, I wouldn't do that. Had Nicholas and Renata loved each other and Nathan loved Renata too, I would not have forced Renata to accept Nathan's love even if he was my biological child. I will try to remain fair," continued Naura who finally vented everything in her mind at length, until it did not give Rehan a chance to open his voice
"Darling, please come with me for a moment! don't talk too much!" Rehan still looks patient. The man again grabbed Naura's hand and took the woman outside and this time Naura did not fight back in the least.
"So, Sister Nicholas and Renata are engaged?" nathan's murmur could still be heard by Nurdin's ears.
