Take Me To Your Heart
Chapter 65 - You are special and precious

Regan and Renatta say goodbye to Papa Dewa and Nesha to go to Jakarta.

"Hopefully your extended family can really accept Natta. Otherwise, it is better to undo your intentions. Papa doesn't want you to be sad Nat."

Renatta clasped Papa Dewa's hand.

"Don't worry Pa. Natta was ready to face everything. Whether it's likeable or not the same Regan family. Papa don't worry about Natta overdoing it. Regan will take care of Natta."

"Yes Om, I'll take good care of Natta. I'll also make sure Natta won't be sad."

"Well, om trust Natta with you. You guys be careful on the road. Greetings from your family to your family."

Regan nodded. Renatta and Regan got into Regan's car and waved their hands before the car drove further.

On the way, Renatta asks about Regan's family. Regan answered and explained.

"In that big house, there's Daddy Arthur, Oma Lina, Mommy Jessie and some of my aunts and om. But since my om and Aunt are away, there's only Oma, Mommy and Daddy. For Mommy and Daddy, you already know and know them. If it's Oma, she's a bit picky, she wants a lot and she's a little fierce. But he loves me so much. I'm sure he'll agree with you. Yes, even if you have to try a little to win her heart."

"If you don't like me how will Oma?"

"I persuaded until Oma agreed and liked you. Anyway, Oma where to see me single. If it's not you, then I don't want to get married" Regan replied.

"God! As much as you love me, do you want to marry other than me?" ledek Renatta to Regan.

"Yes." Yeah."

The answer is yes it makes Renatta's cheeks flushed like boiled shrimp. Though he thinks Regan will deny it but it turns out his conjecture is wrong.

Regan smiled at Renatta's flushed cheeks.

"I am a loyal man. Especially if she is fighting with me. I will fight until I can unite. Loving Amanda for as long as I can. Moreover, loving you who is now mine even though not completely."

Renatta melted listening to the death row from Regan. He felt that the person next to him was now like not Regan but someone else. He continued to look at Regan's face so unreliable.

"I'm handsome and attractive, so don't keep looking. Later you can't be far from me anymore" ledek Regan who made Renatta hit Regan's arm slowly.

"Ouch! Don't get hit, what's the accident?"

Renatta stopped hitting Regan and crossed his hands in the chest and leaned his head on the car seat.

"We're going straight to your family's house?" ask Renatta.

Regan shakes.

"To my apartment first, we rest first there, then to my family's house."

"Well, I'm sleepy, can I take a nap?"

"Sleep if you're sleepy."

Regan stroked the top of Renatta's head and focused on driving again.

That night, they pulled over at the rest area. There, Regan and Renatta had dinner together. Apparently they're not the only ones who stop there. Many other travelers, too.

"Why don't you hire a driver? You can cape if you drive yourself. Moreover, Malang-Jakarta is far away! You didn't sleep earlier either. I'm the one sleeping."

"If we hire a driver where we can be together. Someone must be disturbing. Even though cape, no papa. Comparable to what I got. Yeah, that's why we stopped here two to three hours for me to take a little nap."

"All right."

The atmosphere was silent for a moment. There was only friction between the plate and the spoon. Regan opened the conversation again.

"What's it like not seeing me for the last two months? Do you miss me?" ask Regan.

"If I'm alone, and pensive in the room without doing anything, I'm always thinking of you, missing you and our time together. But in the morning until the afternoon, because there is a busy work, I have never crossed your name. Therefore, I always want to keep busy so that I quickly forget. Because I thought that you must hate me for cruelly leaving you in the care."

"Stupid! The contents of your mind seem to be washed so as not to keep thinking negatively. You think I'm a stupid man? The one who received it was decided on the cliche grounds that you said? Sure didn't. I don't want to regret that accepting it was easily decided by you for no apparent reason and no deception."

"It turns out that besides being loyal, you are also a love fighter. I've really just seen this side of you. Thank you for fighting for me who is not this valuable. I really feel lucky. Because of you, I feel I am not getting any more karma for my past mistreatment. I always thought I didn't deserve to be happy. But because of you, I hope and want that happiness to come and happen to me. Thank you," Renatta said very sincerely and almost shed tears.

"You're whiny, fragile, talkative and too self-deprecating. Unfortunately, I love you like that. What's in front of me, though sometimes I'm upset too. You do not realize that you are valuable to those who love you, including me. So from now on don't always put yourself down, all right, Nat?"

Renatta nodded with a smile and tears that had already dripped because he heard the words from Regan.

"Don't cry anymore. I really can't see you crying" Regan said, hugging Renatta into her arms.

The cry of Renatta even more broke and made them the center of attention of others. But Regan doesn't care about it, and continues to calm Renatta down.

"There are many things that you yourself do not realize, if you are special and valuable. Not many people want to apologize for a mistake that is not their own fault. Not many people are willing to sacrifice for the sake of their loved ones even though they make themselves hurt. You did all that. Which I myself may not be able to. I'd feel like I'd be the dumbest guy to let you go, Nat."

Regan stroked and kissed Renatta on the forehead and wiped away the falling tears.

"Please promise, this is the last time you cry."

But Renatta did not promise. Because by crying he can spill all the feelings he does not understand in his heart. By crying, he can feel relieved.

As her words were not welcomed, Regan hugged Renatta again.

"All right, don't promise. For I myself will keep you from crying again."
