Our Story: The Sudden Chancellery
S2 Chapter 26 – Break A Moment

“Ooh .. So because of that, you don't want Vincent near Viani? Because I'm a perverted parent who teaches my son s**free sex, so?”

All heads turned towards the voice. Where Niko was standing there, stared intently at Gala.

“The reason elo really shortsighted ..” Niko walked closer to Vincent who was battered after getting a few blows from Indra and Gala. His hands stretched out to touch Vincent's face and feel his son's wounds. His heart was also broken to see the child with this situation.

However, Vincent must have a valid explanation of what really happened. “You all right, Vin?”

Vincent nodded little at the father.

The big doctor walked to Gala, his best friend, or maybe soon to be his former best friend.

“Throughout the years me and Vincent were confused by the elo excuse. We speculated, maybe elo not allowed because they were still in school. And I guess now everything has changed. Apparently not. Vincent seems like most dreams can be with Viani.

I'm not going to let my son lo lowin and you're the same as the striped-nosed guy out there. Didn't Vincent say he was responsible? But what did he accept? My past and makeover that you finally dismantled brutally in front of my son!”

Gala mute. No doubt Niko will be here. “Who contacted Niko? What are you, Gem?”

Gemma nodded. “It is clear that in this matter, Niko as Vincent's father should know, Gala. But that doesn't mean the past you have to carry around!”

Gemma is really upset with her husband. For whatever sake, that reason should be able to be discussed carefully! Moreover, this concerns the child of his own good friend.

“Oh, so you initially did not intend to contact me and secretly teach my son? Your wife can think smarter than elo,” said Niko while sharing a thin grin.

“For years I and Erika survived alone after I kicked me out of the house and Erika's parents didn't want to admit her son again. We fought from the beginning, desperately, Gala .. Matterfully .. until Erika had a business in the midst of her difficulties to deal with Vincent alone when I was in college, and I could be a doctor. It's all because we support each other.

I know, Elo also helped me several times. Many times, I refused because of fear of debt and many times also elo maksa that I finally received. I had time to parno on what kind of debt I will have the same elo. But I did not expect, this debt of gratitude makes you act as well as me and my son.

And what do you think, what happened to us first we will repeat again? Am I gonna teach Vincent and set an example of all the delinquencies I had in High School? Elo bener-gener who—ah! I can't say anything else because this swearing oath has elo snatch and elo spilled over to my son!”

Satisfied with spewing anger at Gala, Niko turns to her son. “Vin, can you tell Papa what happened?”

Vincent immediately tells him everything, his version, how Alvin was carrying the blue bottle and Marsel who wanted Alvin to share Viani with him after the girl was stoned. Everything without exception. From the club to the apartment.

But what happened next, Viani shook his head in denial Vincent who blamed Alvin for everything. “Not! Not so!”

Vincent stared at Viani fiercely. “Moreover, Vi? Are you still playing Alvin? He's obviously chekokin you with the drug.”

“Vincent. I'm 100% sure if it's not Al—“

“Quite, Vi ..” Vincent raised his palm in front of Viani. Disappointment was clearly visible on the man's face.

“Here I really want to take responsibility for what he has done with you. But until now, our mouths are still defending him? Your heart made him? Yes?”

“So Viani can still defend her ex-boyfriend from you, Vin? Do you think your relationship is worth maintaining? Gala doesn't even want us—you and Papa— to get into their big, rich family.” Niko clucked quip. “Ck! Either until when we will be worthy before Mr Galandra Putra Aditya this honorable. Our level is below theirs, Vin ...”

“Not that, Om.. Vin—“

Vincent's worried. Seeing that Viani and Niko were taking turns, he could not choose.

“Nik ... please! Don't leave! Gala, say something!!” Gemma pleaded with her husband very much. Today is getting worse. Already they see Viani and Vincent like this, friendship for decades was a bet and threatened to disperse.

“Gala! Please! Apologize to Niko! He is your friend and like a brother! Remember your friendship!”

But the man was silent. It seems like all of this is completely beyond her prediction and she is unprepared when Niko finally finds out everything from her mouth without any anticipation at all. He did not understand why his head was suddenly hard to think.

Not wanting to waste any time, Niko raised her hand. "No need! Because from now on, we are no longer friends ..” Niko pulled Vincent's arm. “Come, Vin .. we go home.”

“Vin!!” Viani called out to Vincent, with her gaze begging that the man not leave. But Vincent looked no further and disappeared from his sight.

Before reaching the door leaf, Niko returned a few steps. Didn't want to see Gala directly, but just made sure her voice this time was heard by her former best friend.

“Gue didn't expect all this time you thought I was that bad. So what was our friendship all along? A phoney? I felt betrayed for many years ..” Niko turned around, then left the Gala for the last time.

Viani looked at her father and mother in turn, asking for advice on what to do. But they don't seem to be in the right condition for that. Even to speak, they have trouble.

The girl decides on her own, running after Vincent. The man she loved so much. He gets out, and manages to pull Vincent before the man enters the elevator with Niko.

“Vin .. Please do not go. We can talk again carefully—“

Vincent's neck veins poked and tightened. The humiliation Gala had done today to her father really made her angry. Although he could not hate Viani who had no fault here, still he could not accept.

“This is Vi ... Who do you choose? Me or Alvin? Choose one right now. If you choose me and don't talk about Alvin, then I'll stay here.”

“Vin! You can't like that. I defended Alvin not because—“

“I can't accept, Vi! I accept that your parents insulted me, but I can't see you defending someone who is clearly wrong!”

“How can I explain if you cut my words, Vin!!”

“After what I saw with my own eyes, you thought I could accept that you were harassed, Vi? Try if you're in my position now?”

Viani was silent on Vincent's question. He had no solid evidence to defend Alvin.

“Listen. I didn't mean to leave you. But I want us to break for a while to think. Everyone today is too emotional and cannot think clearly. Including me and you.”

Vincent's right. Everyone is in a state of broken heart. No one can think clearly now, including Vincent or Viani. But will ‘break’ solve everything? Or maybe they will break forever?

“I go home ..” Without staring at Viani again, the man turns to the elevator to catch up with Niko who has gone downstairs first.
