A few days after the incident, Rose never went to the office again. He even resigned from his job but was not immediately approved by El. The man did not seem to want to let go easily.
Rose spends her time at home, taking Damian to school, and accompanying him to school work.
That afternoon, in the apartment. The phone that rang on the table broke the silence. Rose paused her fingers from the top of the laptop keyboard, then turned her eyes to the flat object.
"Sister Nathan?" The name he got from his cell phone screen.
Instead of directly receiving the call, Rose fell silent instead. He felt quite hesitant to talk to Nathan after what happened before. But eventually, Rose emboldened herself and received a call from Nathan.
"Hallo, Brother Nathan?" swipe with a low voice.
"Rose, how are you?" ask Nathan.
Rose paused for a moment, a moment later replying, "good enough. What about you, brother?"
"Very good" replied Nathan.
"Mm .. do you remember the cafe at the end of town that we used to go together? When I went out of town, I accidentally saw him. The place hasn't changed much, and it makes me nostalgic. Do you have time today? Can we meet there?" continued.
Rose was hesitant. He turned his gaze in several different directions while changing his sitting position. Sometimes he breathes heavily.
"Sister Nathan, I-I-"
"What if we go together? I'll pick you up and pick Damian up at school. It's almost school time, isn't it?" It compels.
"No need to pick up. Let's meet there. Today ... Damian has extra lessons and will probably be home later that evening" Rose said.
"Oh, okay. Then I'll wait for you there."
"Md. I ... I hung up. See you soon."
The call ended with a sense of dilemma that Rose felt. He knew what Nathan meant to him, but on the other hand he could not accept it because of Damian and his past.
He straightened his legs and leaned his body against the sofa. His head looked up and he saw the ceiling of the room. He wondered in his heart.
"Should I believe it? Can I put my hope in him? Can ... we be happy on top of all this?"
Some time passed. Rose stood behind the door in a black dress and a hairdo at the booth. He prepared to wear heels before leaving the house.
However, when he opened the door he even found an unexpected sight in front of the door of his apartment. A well-dressed man stood upright with a flat face.
"W-what are you doing here, Mr El?" ask Rose.
The man immediately blocked Rose's hand and pulled her out while saying, "get you! You haven't been at work the last few days. Some files are already piled up on your desk!"
Rose pulled her hand.
"I don't have any more business there. Please stop bothering me!" said Rose.
"Oh, does that mean you intend to separate a father from his son?"
The question El asked surprised Rose.
"Roselina, I won't force you to marry me again. Even so, you still want to hide it from me? You're selfish!" continued.
"I don't think you have the right to say that to me. After all, you're an established man and you have everything. Just a child, you can get it from any woman."
Hearing that made El scrunch his forehead. Deep down he felt annoyed. Offended, more precisely.
He quickly moved his feet towards Rose. Without a word and with a very sharp look. Intimidating.
As an Assassin, Rose had never felt intimidated like that before. He became nervous and worried when his body could not hold El who pushed him in.
"Am I that kind of guy on your mind?" ask her while continuing to move.
"Stop that, or I'll call the cops!" threat Rose. He tried to push the burly body in front of him, but it was useless.
"You're pretty brave as a woman. Then, I'll offer you two options. Let her stay with me .. Or you want to repeat the night 6 years ago, give birth to a second child for me then you can live freely with my first son. How's it?"
"It was unexpected that Mr. President would be so shameless! Don't know how people would think of you if I were to spread this voice recording."
"You think, which media can't I silence in this country?"
El drew his face closer to kiss Rose on the lips. Luckily, before that happened, Rose's phone immediately rang. He thinks Nathan called him, but he didn't. It was an unknown number.
But thanks to that, Rose was finally able to escape the entanglement of the shameless President.
"H-hall?" Rose received the call after successfully pushing back El's body from nearby.
"Good day, Miss Roselina. I'm Sinta, Damian's homeroom teacher. Can you come to school this afternoon?"
"Come to school? What was? Is Damian okay?" Teacher Sinta's words surprised Rose. While beside him, El took a serious look.
"That's ... Damian was fighting with some of his upperclassmen. It was known by the principal and parents were asked to come to school. So---"
"I'm going! Please take care of Damian for a moment, Master!"
Rose ended the call in a panic after learning what had happened.
"What's wrong?" ask El.
"Damian fought with his upperclassman! They must've ganged him up!"
El couldn't hear that. He again blocked Rose's hand and took her away, saying, "let's go get Damian."
I don't know what kind of strange feeling Rose is feeling right now. He stared at the wide back of the stranger who was equally worried about him. Seen concern in his eyes. But it is either real or fake.
Meanwhile, in the principal's room.
Six school children sat in a row facing the headmaster who was fat and moustached thick. Five of them were injured in several parts of the body that had been wrapped in bandages.
Before long, a fat woman in light-colored clothes, as well as the expensive jewelry she wore came while holding back anger. He approached one of the disciples among them.
"Oh, Alexander. What the hell's going on? Why does your face get battered like this?" tanyakanya.
"It's all because of him!" the male disciple pointed at Damian. "That bastard hit me!"
That word he returned. Make Damian's anger re-peaked. He stood up and intended to beat up the boy, but teacher Sinta held him back.
"Oh, so he's the one? She made you like this?" ask mother.
The boy nodded his head. Then the mother looked up at Damian, with a contemptuous look and her hands folded over her chest.
"****** which has given birth to a child like her? Absolutely disgraceful! Are you a thug, huh?
"Mrs Tan---"
"Sir principal, I don't have much time here. I do not accept what the bastard did to my son. So, get him out of this ditch!" He said very haughtily.
Suddenly, the door slammed hard. All eyes looked in the same direction and watched someone enter with a cold and sharp gaze.
"Mother" said Damian.
Rose ignored her son. After what he heard, he really could not accept the humiliation.
She walked towards Madam Tan with quick steps, and immediately pulled the collar of her clothes when it came to her front.
"Can you repeat your words ... in front of me!"
Madam Tan was trembling. "Woman******, take your hands off my clothes!"
"Mrs Roselina, calm yourself down!" The principal tried to break them. Rose finally let go of the fat woman.
Madam Tan cleaned the part of the clothes Rose touched just a moment ago, like cleaning the dust with a look of disgust.
"Dismiss once! Totally*******indolent! It was only fitting that the bastard had such a nature!" He grumbles.
"Who do you call a bastard?" The voice suddenly appeared behind the door. His presence really took everyone by surprise, including Damian.
"He ...."
