After pressing a pin to open the apartment door, Nicholas immediately invited Nathan to enter. Then the man led Nathan to a closed door. The man opened it slowly, looking like the room was very neat.

"You can use this room. If I'm that room over there," Nicholas pointed to the room whose door was also closed.

"Thank you, brother!" said Nathan, who suddenly called Nicholas his older brother.

"Sister?" Nicholas scrunched his forehead.

"Yes, I know you must be older than me. So, it's appropriate that I call you brother,"

"If you can tell, how old are you?" ask Nicholas.

"I'm 18, if you're my own brother?"

"I'm 22 years old. This year I'm going to graduate college" Nicholas said.

"Oh," Nathan nodded his head.

"You're 18, but your attitude doesn't match your age. You're even more mature than me," praised Nicholas honestly.

"I was matured by circumstances, Brother," Nathan smiled faintly.

"I'm sorry if my question offends you. Does your family need a lot of money?that's why you're racing to get the money?" ask Nicholas carefully.

"It's not my family that needs the money, but me. They already have more than enough money" Nathan replied ambiguously.

"You mean?" Nicholas clenched his forehead, confused.

Nathan didn't answer at all. The man seemed still reluctant to tell anything about himself, because he felt he had not known the man in front of him for long.

"Nothing to mean, brother. Sorry, if I can't tell you about me yet" Nathan said.

Nicholas sighed with a single bang and smiled.

"alright. Thats okay! Oh yeah, I'll go to my room first!" Nicholas felt no need to force Nathan to open up to him, even though the young man was very curious. The man twisted his body, and was about to pass away.

"Sister, do you also need money? if you need the money from the race, we can divide the two," Nicholas paused his steps as soon as he heard Nathan's words.

The young man turned his body around again, and looked at Nathan.

"I've been racing like that just to satisfy my youth before I jumped into managing my papa company. In a moment, I'm going to graduate from college, and it's automatic that I'm going to jump in to help my papa, managing the company" Nicholas continued.

"Oh, like that!" nathan said in a very slow voice. "Oh yes, Brother. Again, thank you for the ride. Tomorrow I promise to go and find a contract" Nathan continued.

"What are you looking for in a contract? you can stay here. The money for the contract, you can use for other purposes. I happen to find this apartment rarely. Only when I was late came home did I come here" Nicholas explained.

"But, Brother. I'm not feeling well," Nathan suddenly felt very uneasy.

"You don't have to worry. Now I want to go into my room first huh," Nicholas this time right passed from the room occupied by Nathan and went into his room.

After Nicholas completely leaves Nathan intends to find a drink into the kitchen. As soon as he passed through Nicholas' room that had not been perfectly closed, Nathan faintly heard the man answering a phone call.

"Sorry, Mom! tomorrow if I don't go home I'll tell you. Mama is now sleeping, tomorrow Nicho will go home," said Nicholas who seemed to be persuading his angry mother.

"Nicho doesn't lie, Ma. Nicho's really in the apartment right now. No mess," said Nicholas again.

Nathan immediately smiled wryly, and was envious to see Nicholas getting the attention of a mother. The attention he always missed.

"Why am I not like those who can feel a mother's affection?" he continued his steps towards the kitchen.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Nathan is back in the room. After changing his clothes Nathan broke his tired body. The man was not sleepy at all, so he decided to play a game on his phone.

Nathan scrunched his forehead seeing a message sent by his brother Arsen. Quickly, the young man opened the message which turned out to be a photo of a woman smiling sweetly. The woman had a beautiful and gentle face, and implied a positive aura.

"Nathan, this is your mom's Aunt Naura's photo. Mama you're a very nice person, and she's a painter, just like you. Do not believe what Angga said. Aunt Naura left for sure because there is hopefully one day you can meet her," that's what Arsen's message to Nathan is about.

Nathan smiled smirk, looking at the photo of the woman he said was his mother.

"For me she's still not a good mother. Where there is a good mother who can leave a baby child," Nathan's mind is ready to remove the photo sent by his brother. But somehow, she felt heavy to remove it.

"It seems I should look for him. Not to beg to live with him, but to ask why he could ever leave me first" Nathan monologued as he put his phone back on the table. The young man finally decided not to play the game anymore, but he took his painting tools and painted something.
