REMEMBER ME?...
The parr 24

The girl moved into the waiting room, where she kept her bags, coat, and everything else. But his stuff wasn't there. So where is it?

“Kiara!” call Vano from behind.

“For a moment, I'll get my stuff first! I kept it around here earlier, but now.” replied Kiara as she moved her stuff around the room.

“Kiara,” call Vano again.

“Aish... Wait a minute!”

“Kiara Kusuma!”

“What's up?” Kiara stopped her activity and stared at Vano, upset, and disturbed.

“I told you, I have to find... Oh, how can the stuff be on you?” Kiara looked at a handbag and coat that was in Kiara's hand and walked towards the man.

“Aish. Is this your nature long ago?” vano asked as he handed her the girl's bag and coat.

Kiara chuckles. “It looks like so,” he said honestly.

“Ya, worth it. It must be me who is often troubled by the carelessness and nature of your forgetfulness,”

“Really! In the past, it seemed like you were the one who often remembered where I kept things. You who pay attention to my every move and remember if I put something down then remind me or take it yourself and give it to me if I forget it.” Kiara.

Vani just smiled in response to the girl's carefree babble that seemed to be told with great joy. Vano's feet stepped closer to the girl and helped her put on her coat. When he finished, he smiled.

“Come, we go home.” His word.

Kiara smiled and nodded, then followed Vano towards the basement.

The atmosphere of the Kusuma family mansion is now more crowded thanks to the presence of both parents from Kiara and Nino. The middle-aged couple were finally able to take their time together after about 3 days ago returning to attend a family meeting that continued with their long journey back which was planned to take monthsmoons. After Kiara and Vano's engagement, of course. In fact, before they attended the family meeting with Alexander's family, they had been traveling for 2 weeks on business.

Running a company is hard. Not only need the brain to work, but a good body condition is also highly recommended. Jobs that concern business often cause stress, because that's why a clear mind and a healthy body are needed. And Kiara does not understand why her parents can still be clear-minded and able-bodied after almost every day having to run a business trip throughout Asia. Maybe he should be grateful?

“Kiara, how is your relationship with Vano? You're not mad at mom anymore, are you, because mom didn't tell you your partner was Vano?” asked her mother gently on the sidelines of their dinner.

“No, I am not angry,” Kiara clarified. “And my relationship with Vano improved. Although I am still curious about some things in the man, but I will be patient until the time is good enough and we are close enough.”

“Good, you better keep helping him like this. It would be perfect if Vano could finally remember his past. You are very close first, inseparable, for that reason your matchmaking plan we compiled,” explained his father who already knew about the condition of Vano.

“Hmm..., I will try,” Kiara said.

“Nino how was your lecture?” asked his father to Nino who had been silent.

“What? Oh... alright,” replied Nino briefly.

Kiara could hear Nino's grunts next to her. Then quickly, the man immediately responded with an approval. Patir sometimes felt sorry for Nino. How not? Because she is a woman, weak, especially not interested in the business field, be Nino who bequeathed to be the successor of their family company. Although Kiara knew that Nino also liked the business field, but considering her father who always emphasized the word ‘penerus’ on Nino, Kiara could feel the pressure that the man faced.

“Ah, mother, regarding the invitation to the engagement event.” Sooji said.

His mother looked at Sooji and smiled. “We've taken care of everything, because the engagement is closed, I only invite relatives, some colleagues, the press, and you can invite some friends or staff at your place of work if you want,”

Kiara frowned, thinking who she wanted to bring to the sacred event of her engagement later. Hey, engagement is almost as sacred as marriage, isn't it?

“Hmmm... Looks like I'll take them,” Kiara said.

“Alright, tomorrow give the invitation to them so they can go inside,” his mother said.

Kiara simply nodded in response with a smile on her lips.

Unlike the Kusuma family residence that began to warm up, like the Alexander family residence is still ‘freeze’. Really, there was nothing alive that mattered in the house other than some housekeeper who always cleaned the house. Vano's sister, Sean, was somewhere, probably in her room, but she was too lazy to check on him. And Vano's parents still haven't come home. His father was in business in China while his mother was developing her boutique in Japan. His relationship with Sean is not so good even though they still care about each other. Whether because when he was little Vano rarely interacted with him because Sean always followed his mother to the boutique or how, anyway Sean never talked much to Vano other than warning and telling something to the man.

But for Vano, the atmosphere of his house is quiet like uninhabited is not something to be fussed about. It is very common to live a life like this. That's why when he entered his house and found the state of his house that was quiet, without wasting time he immediately went up to the second floor and entered his room.

Vano laid his body on his large bed. He pulled out his phone which had been vibrating because of incoming messages and incoming calls.

5 New messages and 2 missed calls.

And everything from Soojung.

Vano sighed and then opened one by one the message from the girl.

Vano, are you okay? Why don't you pick up my phone and return my message, huh? Are you very busy there? Aish.. think about your health, don't be too busy!

Vano! How are you doing? Can't you just reply to my message and pick up my phone?

Vano, where are you? Been busy?

Still busy?

 Hmmm, Vano Alexander! Pickupphone!

Vano sighed once more then turned off his phone and threw it right next to him. He closed his eyes and closed them with one hand. His head seemed to twist every time he thought about this matter. Therefore, this time, he would start to let his heart take control of him. Because no matter how he thought about this matter, he knew his heart already had an answer. That's why from tomorrow, his heart will truly guide him.
