Love Lanterns
CHAPTER 36

Ayunda did not know what to answer with Nathan's love statement, fortunately Dariel knocked on the door so that Nathan returned to his great chair and Ayunda came out and returned to his work shirt.

Nathan was meeting outside the office, he went with Dariel to make Ayunda can breathe a sigh of relief, at least he can still think what he should do.

No one else dared to talk about Ayunda, all went back to being normal to her when she was about to return home. Keheboan this morning has been redammed by Dariel. "Right what Lisa said" muttered Ayunda who stretched her feet of parking, she came home early today to attend the invitation to the Adhipramana family dinner, he finished his work and prepared all Nathan's needs for tomorrow.

Nathan's parents' dinner invitation can not be refused, not because Nathan but Mr. Robert and Ms. Siska very good to him, they are the ones who finance the treatment of Ayunda hospital previously financed Kevin.

Ayunda was greeted by Siska's mother when she got out of the car, Siska's mother sent a driver to pick up Ayunda, for fear that Ayunda would not come if not picked up.

"Let's go in" Invite Siska's mother after Ayunda kisses the hand of a baby lung woman who is still very beautiful at her age today.

Ayunda follows Siska's mother who invites her into their residence, hoping that Nathan will not come to dinner with them tonight.

Siska's mother did not bring Ayunda directly to the dinner shirt but she invited Ayunda to sit in the back. "We wait for everyone to get together" pinta bu Siska as she invited Ayunda to sit down.

Just a small talk they talked about, the rest discussed Ayunda's health and work as Nathan's secretary.

"Mom's happy you're Nathan's secretary, just eight months he's led the company six times he changed secretary" Ms. Siska laughed at Nathan's behavior.

"The seventh, hopefully at home, a lot of patience with Nathan"

"Mother doesn't know why she turned out that way, she used to be easy to be friends with anyone even though they were women, not picky but still careful"

"Since five years ago suddenly he did not like when there are women who want to be friends with him or approach him, especially if deliberately teasing him" explained Siska's mother what happened to Nathan.

Ayunda just kept quiet and listened to Mother Siska's words, in her heart thinking did Nathan change after the incident? And that means Nathan wasn't lying that he'd been waiting for Ayunda all along.

"Mom hope you can tell her that she's showing a cold attitude" Ayunda just nodded in agreement to Siska's mother's words.

There was the sound of shoes approaching, from the sound of a woman. "Tante Sis" said the woman approaching.

Ayunda turned her face to see who was coming, so surprised when she found out that the girl who came this morning had politely entered Nathan's room past Ayunda just like that.

"Hey... Luna you're home. Introduce this Ayunda" Siska's mother greeted Luna who kissed her cheek.

"Ayunda. This is Luna, the mother's niece" Ayunda reached out her hand to shake hands but was ignored by Luna.

"I already know, you are a secretary. This morning we met tan" let Ayunda's hand outstretched while back inside the house.

"So you've seen your brother?" shouted Mother Siska who could only shake her head at the behavior of her nephew.

"I'm sorry Luna, she's like that if you don't know" Siska's mother said.

Ayunda had not yet answered Siska's mother's greeting someone greeted them, a voice that was very well known to Ayunda.

"Tante Siska" greeted the man and turned to Ayunda.

"What's up?" he extended his hand to Ayunda.

"We're just waiting for Nathan and Dariel" Siska's mother said, leaving the two to call Mr. Robert, who is still in his office.

Ayunda nodded with force, though in his heart he wanted to leave the place. Maybe he would have been so happy to be both Kevin, but this time it really made him want to go far.

"I'm sorry" Kevin finally can say the word he's been saying all along.

Being able to sit back together with Ayunda made her feel like she was back in the past, her heart and heart were still shaking feeling the same way when she first met.

"I'm sorry for all the things that hurt you Nda"

"Honey" Nathan's voice was heard clearly on the side of Ayunda who immediately kissed the top of his head. Whether Nathan was between Ayunda and Kevin, his presence was always sudden, there was no sound of his approaching steps.

Siska's mother invited them all to sit at the dinner table, just a small talk the rest of them ate in silence.

Siska's mother watched her son sitting next to Ayunda. He noticed a change in attitude from Nathan, he did not perotes when Ayunda who sat beside him unlike the previous six secretaries who had also been invited to dinner.

While Nathan continues to watch Kevin stealing glances at Ayunda, Ayunda just looks down at his meal. He would raise his face only when Mother Siska or Mr. Robert asked him to speak.

"You have to try this" Nathan picked up the piece of meat in front of him and gave it to Ayunda, it was meat specially made only for Nathan.

A happy smile emanated from Mother Siska's face, what her husband told her about Nathan liking Ayunda was true. He saw for himself how much attention Nathan had given Ayunda. While Luna stared cynically.

While Kevin regretted tonight accepting his tantric invitation to dinner together, he thought it was nice to have dinner with Ayunda and forgot the fact that Nathan wasn't afraid to show his affection.

Ayunda is desperate to have this dinner over, she is in a depressed position. Besides, there was Nathan who behaved as he pleased with Ayunda and in front of him was Kevin who Ayunda believed repeatedly looked at him even though he did not see.

When Luna said goodbye first and returned to her room, Ayunda also wanted to leave and immediately went home, but Nathan held his hand to stay seated.

"What does Luna want until she meets you in the office?" siska's mother asked Nathan.

"He doesn't want to go back to Singapore" Nathan replied briefly while giving Ayunda a special piece of pudding.

"Eat this" he orders Ayunda, who feels like Nathan is forcing her. With a compulsion and want to honor Siska's mother and Mr. Robert Ayunda put the pudding into his mouth.

"Tomorrow when Ayunda eats dinner together again mami will make the same cuisine as you for him" interrupted Siska's mother saw what Nathan did.

"No need ma'am" Ayunda replied.

"No need ma, we can share like now. Isn't it Ra?" Ayunda could only nod Nathan's words. This was not the intention of Ayunda's remark, she just did not want to trouble Siska's mother.

"You want to go home now, Ra?" nathan bargain that was directly approved by Ayunda who had wanted to go home.

"I'll take Ayunda home ma, pa" Nathan said to his parents.

Ayunda is actually more comfortable if the driver who drove him home, but he knows Nathan can not be opposed, inevitably he must follow the wishes of his boss. I don't know what's going to happen next, he can only stop.
