"Are you ready.?" Andrew asked half a whisper.
Both of her hands were wrapped around Nisa's waist in a slow motion. Clutching his wife's body from behind while looking at Nisa's beautiful face in the mirror reflection. Beautiful face with thin makeup and a neat hairstyle. Nisa looks elegant and more mature. Plus a sleeveless dress attached to her body, and a diamond necklace attached beautifully to Nisa's neckline. All of that makes Nisa's appearance more perfect.
"Is all this not excessive Ndre,?" Ask Nisa. She felt uncomfortable wearing 1 set of expensive diamond studded jewelry that was of fantastic value. Moreover, they only attended dinner invitations together at the home of Andreas' parents.
“We only come to Mama's house for family dinner, not go to,”
Andreas placed his index finger on Nisa's lips.
Tell Nisa not to say anything about the jewelry she has given Nisa to wear.
“Nothing is excessive, all that jewelry is not even anything on your appeal."
"Just use what I've given you, don't refuse." Andreas. He then turned Nisa's body to face her.
Next to Andreas' hand was placed on Nisa's cheek, rubbing her cheek gently and looking at her deeply. Nisa lowered her gaze, she started to close her eyes when she saw Andreas getting closer to her face.
By clenching her hands that were shaking from the trauma that had not disappeared, Nisa tried to refrain from giving rejection.
He was silent as he felt Andreas' lips begin to stick to his. Gave a gentle kiss and instantly distanced his face again.
"You're still afraid of me.?" Ask Andreas. He watched as Nisa clenched her two hands that looked trembling. It was obvious that Nisa was scared.
"Sorry," Lirih Nisa.
"I still need time." Reveal honestly. Andreas should know about that. With honest words about his still-traumatized feelings at Andreas' touch, he hoped Andreas could refrain from going too far into physical contact.
"Hey, why apologize.? You just make me feel guilty." Andrew held Nisa's hand.
"I know you still need time, I just want to get you used to the trauma going away." Andreas gently rubbed Nisa's shoulders, reviewing her smile and shady gaze.
"We'd better leave now." Take Nisa. He took the bag on the dresser. The two then rushed to Mr. Chandra's house.
Nisa wanted to avoid the awkward and stiff atmosphere due to the treatment of Andreas who briefly kissed her lips.
Even if Andreas did it carefully without harsh treatment, but still reminded Nisa on that night. The night that made him always haunted by fear every time he came into contact with Andreas for something more intimate.
...****...
“What kind of wife do you choose, she mingles with waiters and helps them prepare food.” Cynical Mr. Chandra. From a distance he gave a dislike look at Nisa who was busy in the kitchen.
While Irene prefers to come with the Madam to see the latest jewelry collection and talk about their business.
Andreas is seen clenching both his hands hearing the Papa's insults to Nisa. An insult indirectly addressed to him because Nisa is his wife.
"Well, what Papa said.!" Tegur Devan doesn't like it.
"It's not good that Andreas' wife wants to do the housework." Said again.
"You defended him too much, see now he's getting more and more rebellious and unwilling to obey Papa's words.!" Mr. Chandra looked towards Andreas.
"I'm not defending Andreas, but Papa's gone too far." Devan Exclamations. He had never liked the Papa to say and do something to Andreas.
Because since the Papa was bad to Andreas, their relationship became tenuous and felt foreign. Andreas also thought of him as an enemy, no longer a brother who used to be very close despite being born from a different woman.
"Papa wouldn't be like this if he obeyed.!" The truth is not to lose. Lord Chandra overflows everything on Andreas. Consider his estrangement and the commotion that often occurs in their families due to the actions of Andreas who always denied his words.
"Darken." Cibir Andreas was full of anger. The debate between Papa and Devan made Andreas sick of hearing it.
“Is there nothing more important to talk about.?" The cynic.
“You should know that I won a lawsuit over a new product we launched. Papa must be happy to see Anggada Group fall." Andreas commented on the smirk smile full of pride.
"You sure.? Where can we win" Mr. Chandra looks incredulous. Because Anggada Group first launched a similar product 2 years ago, even its products have been known internationally and used by middle to upper-middle-class companies.
"Papa doubted my ability.?" Andreas said with a wry smile.
"What can't I do.!" His words are full of emphasis.
"I can make the company grow rapidly and can destroy it in an instant.!" Rigorously. He stared intently at Lord Chandra.
The two stared at each other. Mr. Chandra was visibly riled up, unsettled at Andreas' words. But he also gave his son a sharp look.
"Andreas, the food is ready." Nisa's arrival breaks the tense atmosphere between Andreas and Mr. Chandra.
"I'll call Mama and Sister Irene first," Nisa was about to move, but Andreas held her hand.
"No need, honey, let the waiter call them." Andreas said as he moved from his seat.
"We go first to the dining room," Andreas embraces Nisa's waist and invites her away from the presence of Mr. Chandra and Devan.
Devan stared at their loss, his heart throbbing pain to hear Andreas calling Nisa affectionately. Moreover, seeing the hand of Andreas who embraces the friendly waist Nisa.
