Love Lanterns
CHAPTER 56 ”Sepadap Taste”

"You seem very happy?" nathan asked, seeing Ayunda smiling to herself after they came out of the Galaxy leadership room and staff.

"What a look?" ask Ayunda while looking at Nathan at a glance while maintaining his smile.

When Nathan pulled Nathan into the elevator, he hugged and pressed his lips, ****** with soft, thin lips Ayunda. Ayunda moved away after Nathan let go of their link, to get some air.

"Mas, why.." Ayunda's words cut off Nathan.

"Like to kiss your lips" continued Nathan Ayunda. Nathan is approaching. "I told you, your smile is too sweet" Nathan replied.

"Save your smile" Nathan said as the elevator rang.

They were already on the floor of the shopping mall when the elevator opened, Nathan clasped tightly onto Ayunda's hand, like a parent who was afraid of losing his child.

"Mas Nathan, what do we want to find out exactly?" tanya Ayunda, who did not understand Nathan's purpose to take him to the Mall. This afternoon when they had lunch at Mama Mira's cake shop, Nathan just asked to be accompanied to buy something.

"Buy gifts, for the anniversary of mama and papa" replied Nathan while bringing Ayunda to the shop at his lunch hour.

"Can you help sir?" greet the shopkeeper as they enter.

"I want to see the latest collection" Nathan replied.

"There on the side, let's sir" Nathan invited Ayunda to follow the servant, they marched with Nathan's hand tightly to Ayunda's hand.

Of all the collections shown, none were to Nathan's liking.

"Where is the manager, I want to meet" Nathan said.

The store manager exited his room after being told by the waiter who was serving Nathan and Ayunda. He immediately saluted after knowing that the one looking for him was Nathan.

"Sorry sir, I didn't know Mr. Nathan was coming" the store manager said.

"What item I asked the other day was it prepared?" ask Nathan.

"Already sir, there in my room, I did not display because it was specifically for the Father" replied the store manager. "So sir, I'll get you" the manager back in his room.

Until the manager's room not only took Nathan's order, but he called someone. "It's time until I come" the man replied.

While waiting for the manager to pick up the items that Nathan ordered, Ayunda took a look at the other collections. He walked by himself followed by the waiter, while Nathan just sat down, but his eyes could not be separated from Ayunda. He looked at every watch Ayunda was holding.

The store manager goes back to Nathan, he brings Nathan's ordered item, then shows it.

"This sir, please look and check" said the store manager, while opening the lid of the box wrapped in blue velvet cloth.

A pair of luxury watches are on display in the box. Nathan took it and examined it. "I took this" Nathan handed the watch back to the store manager.

"Okay sir" replied the store manager. "Is there anything else?" tanyakanya.

"Yes" replied Nathan. "You guys prepare, some of the ones my fiance has chosen" he continued.

The manager was silent when he heard Nathan mention his fiancee. He met Ayunda a few months ago, when he visited the Adhipramana Group company to bring his collection to the directors and shareholders of the company. All he knew was that Ayunda was Nathan's secretary, so he dared to contact the shop owner's daughter, who was eager to meet Nathan.

"Hey, if you look around" snapped a woman on Ayunda who accidentally hit him when he turned around to approach Nathan.

"Sorry Mom, I didn't accidentally" Ayunda replied.

The woman did not listen to Ayunda's apology, instead she asked the shopkeeper to expel Ayunda. The waiter did not dare to follow his orders, because he knew Ayunda was coming with Nathan, who his manager respected, and he believed that Nathan was important.

"What's wrong?" ask Nathan.

"Nothing, you must be Mr. Nathan. I am Angel, the son of the owner of this shop" Angel replied.

Nathan doesn't care about Angel's words, he walks over to Ayunda, because what he asks is Ayunda not Angel.

"Sorry sir, if the girl interfered, I told the waiter to take her out" Angel said again, thinking Nathan would scold Ayunda.

The store manager codes Angel to be quiet, but the woman ignores him. He even cornered Ayunda.

"Are you okay?" nathan asked while stroking Ayunda's face.

"Yunda was fine, Mas, had accidentally hit the Mbaknya" replied Ayunda.

"Hem. It's okay" Nathan replied pinching Ayunda's nose.

Angel was silent looking at her, she glanced at the store manager, wanting to ask who the girl was. The shop manager who understood Angel's glance just shrugged his shoulders, as if he didn't know what kind of relationship Nathan and Ayunda were in.

Angel knew about Nathan being cold to women and unapproachable. He sees Nathan for the first time, when he attends the wedding of his best friend who is the daughter of one of the shareholders in Adhipramana Group, he immediately falls in love and wants Nathan to be his lover.

Seeing Nathan being gentle and loving to women, Angel sees Nathan's other side, and it makes him even more sure to get Nathan.

"Nathan's mom finished buying gifts for mom and dad?" ask Ayunda.

"Hemm" Nathan just cleared his throat, he doesn't want to talk much in front of people he doesn't know, especially a woman.

"If so now change, Mas Nathan anterin Yunda buy gifts"

Hearing Ayunda's remarks, Angel thinks Ayunda is Nathan's younger cousin whom she knows is very close to Nathan. What's more he's never heard of a rumor Nathan has a lover.

"Sorry Ma'am, I don't know if his Mama visited with Mr. Nathan" Angel apologized to Ayunda, who wanted to get Nathan's attention by humbling him.

"My fault Ma'am, sorry I turned suddenly, it turns out there is a Mbak behind me" Ayunda replied.

Nathan doesn't like Ayunda to be so low, but he can't ban Ayunda in front of anyone else.

The manager handed over a pair of Nathan's order hours and two Ayunda's selected hours without her knowledge.

"Come" Nathan takes Ayunda out of the store, without even looking at Angel. Only Ayunda nods as a sign of goodbye to Angel before she is pulled by Nathan.

Although disappointed not to be able to get to know Nathan, Angel is quite happy, at least he has appeared to Nathan. He feels he still has hope of getting Nathan, he will use the Ayunda he thought was a cousin, to get close to Nathan his loved ones.

"What are you looking for?" nathan asked Ayunda after they left the store.

"Hemmm, what yes..." Ayunda pretended to think. "Is there a Mas idea?" ask Ayunda.

Nathan embraces Ayunda, directing her to a jewelry store. "No, no jewelry" refused Ayunda.

Nathan smiled, Ayunda misunderstood his point. "Mas, if buying jewelry can only be for Siska's mother, can not make Mr. Robert" continued Ayunda protest.

"There's something Mas's looking for here" Nathan replied casually and Ayunda could only say "Oh" replying to Nathan's words.
