Meanwhile Nathan is deep in continental Europe, having just woken up from his sleep. The young man, glanced at the clock on the nightstand which turned out to be almost showing at 8 o'clock
morn. He who usually can wake up quickly, the last year has not been able to, because he experienced insomnia since making the decision to forget Renata. Can he forget the girl? answer's 'no'.
Before Nathan got off the bed, the man first did a muscle stretch for a while, then went down.
Nathan now leads his grandfather's company, and his two best friends Bastian and Dava also work with him. How about painting? of course Nathan still plays it, because he can not be separated from the world of painting. The gallery owned by Nurdin has also officially become his property, while for Nabila, Nurdin has also prepared a boutique to be managed by his granddaughter, if the lecture is finished.
Nathan was just about to step into the bathroom, but he put it away because suddenly his phone rang.
"Who called early in the morning? that must be Dava," Nathan guessed inwardly. Yes, Dava is now Nathan's personal assistant in the office, while Bastian is the chief financial officer.
Nathan scrunched his forehead, as soon as he saw whose name was contacting him. His guess turned out to be wrong. It wasn't Dava who called him, it was Nicholas. Nathan hasn't seen Nicholas in a long time. Last time, 4 months ago, while attending the funeral of their grandfather Nurdin.
Yes, Nurdin had died 4 months ago, because it was not strong enough to withstand the pain that had been gnawing on him for a long time.
"What did Nicholas call me? did something happen to my mom?" inner Nathan, while pressing the answer button.
"Hello, Brother!" greet Nathan.
"How are you doing there?"
"I'm good! Brother himself?" nathan asked back.
"Just like you!" nicholas replied, concisely solid and clear. "Where are you now? you're in the office?" Nicholas asked again.
"Yes, brother," Nathan said, lying. The man didn't want Nicholas to know he was just up. Wh why? because it will cause a question mark on the man there, why he can wake up late.
"Oh, are you busy?"
"Not really! what's wrong, brother? is there something going on? Nathan scrunched his forehead, although Nicholas could not see his frown.
"I just want to ask you to come back to Indonesia next week. You can, right?"
"For what, brother?"
"I want to have an engagement party with Renata. I want to publicize our engagement which has been closed. You can attend, right?"
Nathan did not answer. The man's feeling now again hurt like someone was pinching him hard.
"Nathan, do you hear me?" nicholas' voice from there, immediately startled Nathan.
"I-iya, Brother. I heard, Brother!" nathan quickly.
"So, what about what I said? can you come to the inauguration of my engagement and Renata? At the event will also be determined our wedding, because it is time for us to get married,"
"I don't want to know. You should keep coming. If you don't come, it means you haven't given up Renata for me yet" Nicholas began to insist.
"But, Brother. It doesn't have to be that way to prove I'm sincere or not. I'm totally sincere, brother." Nathan assured Nicholas.
"If you're sincere, yes, that means, you definitely don't mind going home. Indonesia's? remember you did not return to Indonesia for a long time. Do you not miss Indonesia? don't you miss your family here?" Nicholas.
" But, Brother?
"No but-but! if later you don't come to the show, that means my guess is right. You really haven't let Renata go for me. But, if you come, I will be more relieved and believe in your sincerity. So that in the future I can have a more serious relationship with Renata with feelings free from guilt. I hung up on him! I'm waiting for you!" without waiting for an answer from Nathan, Nicholas had already severed the call unilaterally.
Nathan puts his cell phone back in place with mixed feelings, whether to fulfill Nicholas' request or not.
"How's this? what am I supposed to do? do I have to fulfill Nicholas' request? but if I go home and attend the event, I'm afraid, that I can't help myself and take Renata away from the place" Nathan said, rubbing his face violently.
Nathan immediately canceled his previous intention of going into the bathroom. The man walked towards the balcony and stood looking ahead.
"Araghhh! why does it have to be like this anyway? why would I be faced with such a heavy choice?" Nathan seems to be getting frustrated.
Long enough Nathan stood looking ahead with a raging mind. The man took a deep breath, then exhaled it back into the air with a slight weight. Then, the man closed his eyes for a glance, then opened them again.
"All right! I'm going home! I must have held back my feelings. Didn't I want Renata to be able to live with Nicholas? so, I have to be ready to bear the consequences" Nathan concluded, finally deciding
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Renata opened the door of her papa room quite loudly and immediately played in without saying any greetings at all.
"Renata! why did you just play in? do you know, that's so disrespectful!" rajendra.
"Why, Papa decided all about my life? don't I have any more rights to my own life?" Renata threw out his protest. The girl did not care at all about the clash of her papa.
"Because only Papa knows what's best for you!" sahut Rajendra who immediately understood in which direction Renata talks.
"Best for me or best for Papa?" sindir Renata, smiled cynically. "i don't feel at all that what you decide unilaterally is good for me, Pa. Everything you do is for your own benefit. Without you knowing, Papa has made the Princess herself as a business exchange tool. Papa's selfish. What Papa had in mind was just company, wealth, that's all. Papa never thought about how I felt!" Renata now looks very emotional. Tears from his eyes had already washed his cheeks.
"Renata! forgive Papa! but this time there is no other way. Our company is already totally dependent on Nicholas's company. If you don't want to continue this matchmaking, we'll be completely broke, son. If papa doesn't have a problem living hard, but what about your mama? papa really can't bear to see your mama suffer, son. Please, so that this time you will obey your father. If you ask papa to kneel down and beg you, you will" Rajendra's voice now sounded clear.
Renata, instantly flinching unable to say anything more.
"Alright, Pa!" renata, finally. There was no way he could bear to let his papa kneel begging him.
