Love Heals Wounds
53. Job Strike

Nabila followed her Papa in a lethargic manner. Today he felt less excited. They arrived at the headquarters of Boga Rasa Company, the company that manages a chain of luxury restaurants. Stand alone or in a five-star hotel.

As importers of foodstuffs, of course they will establish relationships with the owners of this semcam company. But Nabila had a strange feeling since his mother with sparkling eyes advised him to participate in this meeting.

The group had arrived at the meeting room of the office which was located on the third floor. They are immediately welcome to enter because the owner of the company already feels inside. Nabila set his phone in silent mode while walking in so he did not see the young man who welcomed his papa with friendly.

He put the phone in his small bag and put on the best smile when he lifted his face.

"You!" he and the young man simultaneously.

Everyone in the room looked at the two of them. The two pointed at each other with their index fingers, squinting their eyes with an unfriendly look. A gripping aura billowed out from the bodies of the two.

"Oh!" both are compact to throw their faces accompanied by a snort of restrained then equally fold their hands in front of the chest.

"Belter around!" once again the two accused each other.

"Damians!"

"When!"

Two men in black called out the names of their sons and daughters. They shook their heads to see their children's behavior.

"I'm sorry for the sassness of my daughter Adrian."

"I also apologize for the actions of my son, Norton."

Both of them smiled awkwardly and gave a sharp look at their respective children.

"All of you, please sit down. We're gonna start this meeting." Adrian invited his guests to sit down.

They are indeed professionals, even though they started with the strange drama of young people, they still focus on continuing the meeting. Even that day also an agreement that benefits both parties was reached.

Adrian and Norton have known and made friends for a long time, initially just a business. But because they feel there is a common hobby and mindset, they become friends. It's just that their children do not know, because every want to bring a family, there are things that stand in the way.

"To celebrate this deal, how about we have lunch together?" Adrian threw a good idea.

"I agree." Norton greeted the idea with enthusiasm.

"Pa, if you go home, yes" said Nabila who approached his father and whispered.

"We ate together first Bil."

"But pa..."

"When you know Damian?" Adrian smiled gently at the girl. "How long has it been?"

"Only once met Om, when help Audrey some time ago." replied Nabila politely.

"O yeah?" Adrian interested. "What help?"

"Eh, i-it's..."Nabila seemed uncomfortable talking about the event.

"He helped save Audrey from kidnapping. Wellh, even though a lot of his shots miss." Damian stared cynically.

"I'm sorry Om, my shot never misses." said Nabila ketus.

"Omm? Om you said?!" Damian hears the name.

"Yes! Om! That's the fact. Don't take it, just accept the reality."

"I'm not Om Om! I'm 26 years old, but I'm not that old until I have to be called Om by you snot boy!" damian reply is no less fierce.

"This snot can compensate you for firing a weapon. So stop saying my shot missed!!!"

Damian stood up violently. "I don't want to marry that girl!!" he even pointed at Nabila with his finger as he faced Adrian to speak. His ego was insinuated when he heard Nabila was able to compensate.

Mata Nabila. "Who will marry you!" balas Nabila.

But a second later he turned to his clumsy smiling papa as he lowered his head and massaged his temple.

"Yes dear."

"What is this?!"

Nabila's chest rose and fell due to the roar of her hunting breath, the girl's clenched hand held back the emotion that felt bubbling. Norton is well aware, marriage is a sensitive thing for Nabila.

"Sit down first, let me explain." Norton tried to calm Nabila down.

While at the end of the table Damian frowned at Nabila who was so angry. Even the girl was more emotional than when Damian ridiculed her earlier. The girl's face reddened, she seemed to be taking pains to suppress her anger. Damian looked at Nabila's face fixedly. That expression, somehow looks adorable.

A feeling he never felt when he was with Vienna. Wife-to-be who had cheated on her until she was pregnant with another boy. Actually Damian and Vienna relations occurred only because of the request of the commander Damian. He feels only Damian deserves to be his daughter's companion.

Damian also agreed because he once owed his life to his superiors. His commando received a bullet in the chest to protect Damian during the young man's first assignment.

Then I had to get used to it. Maybe that's what happened to Damian. He was used to the presence of Vienna beside him. Although the girl often confines herself to getting closer to Damian. But the young man always thought positively. He believes their marriage will be fine, love can grow by itself. Damian therefore strengthened his heart to propose Vienna.

Accustomed is not love, all this time Damian drifting in false feelings that he created himself. And the meeting of the two families after the Vienna betrayal unfolded, ensuring everything. The girl simply could not refuse the Papa's request.

"Stop looking at me Om!" nabila's slender speech drew Damian's consciousness. The young man nodded in surprise.

The situation in the meeting room became strange. Young people throw accusations at each other with overflowing emotions. But not the tension that looks, it looks funny.

"When you want to go home." Nabila looked at her upset father. "Tomorrow if you strike, if you don't want to work. Papa is evil, Nabila is angry with me." The girl grabbed her bag and walked away.

But only a few steps he stopped and looked back.

"Excuse me, Mr. Adrian, I want to go home." he did not forget his manners.

"Please Miss Nabila, be careful on the road" Adrian said with an amused smile.

Norton shook his head with the behavior of his youngest daughter. The group that came with Norton held back a laugh. They have memorized how the behavior of Nabila who sometimes do not see a place if it has been rumored. A little bit, sometimes Nabila is the same as Isabela.

"Vidi, please take our guests first to eat in the VIP room." Adrian orders his assistant to take guests to the 1st floor of the building which is a company-owned restaurant.

"Good sir." Then Vidi led the others out, leaving Norton, Adrian and Damian in the room.

"You haven't told your daughter yet" Adrian said after the others came out.

"Yes, we're busy preparing for Mita's wedding. And again, Nabila was busy after starting work so we hardly ever had casual conversations."

"Then how about om? Frankly I won't back down."

Norton raised his eyebrows at Damian's words. "You're like a cat and a mouse."

Damian chuckled, he was also surprised after seeing Nabila's anger instead of retreating he became even more excited. Moreover, Nabila had not refused, he was just surprised.

"And didn't you say you didn't want to marry her?" Adrian added.

"Yes, I honestly don't like it if he can compensate even better than me. I feel threatened if a girl becomes my rival." Damian smiled awkwardly.

"You're funny, for what counts it as a rival. You won't get a promotion or an award medal if you get better" Adrian said.

"You two are the same." Norton bobbing heads.

On Flasback, Damian POV

I rushed down from Aaron's car before reaching the factory. With military experience, I reached the point where I could easily keep an eye out for the enemy.

Turns out I'm not alone, there's already a girl who's putting up her binoculars. It looks so sweet and ugly at the same time. Her hair was braided, the hair children one by one dangled on her face.

A warm feeling ruled over my chest, initially feeling a little strange inside there. But as he lifted his face and looked at me, that feeling turned into a turmoil that produced an erratic thump.

Throughout the shootout I and he were always arguing. It's not that I'm on purpose, it's just that as a former military officer with war experience, it's annoying to be balanced by a girl.

Egoku was turbulent, wanting to be better than that sweet girl. I am a man, I cannot lose to him. But at the same time I was fascinated by his abilities. What a shitty situation.
