Love Lanterns
CHAPTER 50 ”Road”

Nathan, who had just entered, immediately hugged Ayunda from behind, the little girl was a little surprised, because he did not hear any steps closer. Maybe too focused on feeding Siska's mother, her future father-in-law, or her thoughts elsewhere. While Mother Siska could only shake her head. Smiling happily, Nathan has changed again, he has found his lost love lantern.

"Where did Richad go?" little Nathan asked Siska's mother

"Why are you suddenly asking for Richad?" Siska's mother asked back.

"Om Richad went to bring something precious from Nath Ma"

"You mean?" siska's mother didn't understand.

"It's okay ma, I can definitely get her back"

Now Nathan proves that he can find Ayunda, the lantern of his lost love, who is now back to shine. Therefore, seeing Nathan's happiness lately, made Siska's mother not approve of Luna, when the girl ripped off asking to marry Nathan. With all persuasion Luna pleaded and insisted, but Siska's mother remained with the answer to obey Nathan's choice. Not getting blessing, Luna desperately poisoned him.

"Sorry" Nathan said, whispering in the ear of Ayunda, who accepted Nathan's apology, nodding her head.

"Mas, I'm still feeding Mom" Ayunda pointed at the plate she was holding. Ayunda's voice, speaking to Nathan, awakens Siska's mother from her daydream.

"Well, you're done with the rest" Nathan kissed Ayunda's head.

Not realizing Nathan, behind him looks Kevin held tight watching the intimacy, cursed his stupidity to release a girl as beautiful and as good as Ayunda.

Nathan let go of his embrace, then turned around to walk to the sofa. "When did you come Kev?" nathan asked his surprise when he realized there was already Kevin sitting on the sofa with Mama Mira.

"Just now" Kevin replied lying.

Nathan approached Mama Mira and kissed her future father-in-law's hand, then sat down on the sofa beside Kevin.

"What's wrong with Luna?" ask Kevin to remove the awkwardness between them.

"As you know" Nathan replied briefly.

"Why is Aunt Siska involved?" ask Kevin again.

Nathan shook his head, "No one has asked Mama yet, why is Luna doing all this" he replied. Neither Nathan nor Mr. Robert yet knows the cause of Luna's poisoning Siska's mother, the woman who had loved her like her own child.

"I hope it's not because of your relationship with Ayunda" Kevin said.

"Don't just talk" Nathan argued.

"Mas, the two of us and El know how crazy Luna feels about you, and how crazy she is to be able to get something that cools her" Kevin paused for a moment, he noticed Nathan's reaction. His relationship with Nathan as a cousin was very good, there was never any problem between them. Until finally the presence of Ayunda between the two of them, make the atmosphere a little awkward, especially their hearts.

Nathan was silent to Kevin. Luna can do anything to get what she wants, all this time she will help Luna to get her wish. Now Luna wants her, so Luna can finish off anyone who stands in her way, including her mother. "Mama" muttered Nathan who could only be heard by himself. Mama must have known about Luna's wishes, and her mother must have opposed it, therefore Luna hurt her mother.

"Tante, Kevin farewell" Kevin approached Siska's mother, Mama Mira and Ayunda.

Hearing Kevin's quiet voice, Nathan regained consciousness from his daydream and approached Ayunda, he immediately clasped his little girl's hand. Ban Ayunda from contact with Kevin. Nathan's possessive nature comes to the attention of Siska's mother, who has never known the relationship between Ayunda and Kevin before. While Mama Mira can understand why Nathan is like that. Kevin smiled even though he was upset. Ayunda herself, just shut up, let it all go.

An hour passed from Kevin's return, now Ayunda and Mama Mira also leave. Nathan said they reached the parking lot. "Titip Ayunda aunty" Nathan said after kissing Mama Mira's hand. "Don't worry" seduced Mama Mira then get in the car

"Until the house immediately rests, do not forget, the medicine from doctor Sam is taken" Nathan advised while playing Ayunda's nose.

"Akh. yes, the cure has not been redeemed. Forgot, where's the recipe?" pinta Ayunda's.

Nathan laughed, making Ayunda wonder. "The medicine is in the car" Nathan replied. "Ka..." Ayunda just wanted to talk but Nathan cut it off first. "Come in, Mama's waiting" Nathan opened the door, so that Ayunda would enter immediately.

"I love you, little girl" Nathan teases as Ayunda passes by and gets into the car. Ayunda who was going to be angry so smiled at Nathan's words.

Along the way Ayunda unravels one incident at a time that brings him closer to Nathan. Since speaking his feelings, Nathan never let Ayunda get away from him. Where Nathan went always took Ayunda as his secretary, but that was not Nathan's goal. What he wanted was his little girl always nearby. The man did not want to stop, doing anything that could make Ayunda miss his presence.

Nathan can always impose his will, despite having to see Ayunda's pouting face. Nathan will not lose his mind, if so, of course he will do something that makes Ayunda forget his regret and smile again.

His warm embrace and affectionate kiss, it was like Nathan's obligation to do it to Ayunda, although Ayunda had never answered to accept Nathan's love.

Moreover, when he was in the hospital, Nathan really gave attention and affection, making Ayunda finally melt and receive Nathan in front of Papa Richad's crown. After Ayunda receives Nathan's love, her kind brother is more and more willing to show her possession, even a little possessive.

Ayunda remembered their first debate, outside the issue of office work, was when deciding what Korean drama they would watch first, which Ayunda finally won. He laughed to himself remembering that day, those who finally watched the series of Alice's drakor, as Ayunda wished. He was content to tease Nathan, "Sister, the face of the older brother who used to be very similar to Park Jin Gyeom, his face was expressionless, stiff and never smiled. It's scary" Ayunda said.

Not angry, but Nathan teases her, "But you like it?"

"Who said, I like the same kind smile, but kind" Ayunda replied.

"Darling, can't you call brother again?" pinta Nathan, Ayunda frowned, "Why?"

"You called the person you loved in the past with brother, so call me not to be with him" Ayunda saw Nathan's face looked serious.

"Well, I call Mas aja, same as mama, call Mas Nathan"

"Mas Nathan, it's good to hear, but it's even better to be called dear" Nathan replied.

"Dear one" call Ayunda.

Nathan smiled happily "Not bad. Feeling more privileged to hear it" Nathan kissed Ayunda's head, then they continued watching. Ayunda who was watching while lying on Nathan's boat asleep, saw that, Nathan laid Ayunda in a sofa, while he sat on the floor with a carpet, leaning on the sofa, where Ayunda lay. Not waiting for long, the lonely Nathan fell asleep while sitting down.
