The Desire of the Cold Militant
Padlock is connected

Nadine's main mansion

Amidst the dark night sky and cold weather that pierced the skin and bones, Azlan was seen silent since earlier in his car.

How long did they stop in front of Nadine's mansion?!.

Maybe ½ hours have passed.

The man had no intention of building the girl, he still enjoyed the slumbering face for a long time.

Since there was no movement made Nadine, the girl was completely immersed in her beautiful dreams.

Azlan slowly removed Nadine's hair from her face, tidied her up slowly then tucked her hair behind the girl's ears.

She could hear Nadine's regular breathing signifying how deep the girl was, drowning in her sleep and completely indifferent to anything around her.

The man then leaned back into the car seat, letting his eyeballs keep staring at the girl for so long.

Azlan slowly grabbed Nadine's hand, clasped her tightly and placed the palm over her cheek.

It's cold!.

That's how he feels.

The palm with the beautiful fingers felt so cold.

For a moment, a memory hit him.

In the past

After Nadine High School

ponte milvio

Rome

The Milvius Bridge (or Mulvius) is a bridge along the Tiber in northern Rome, Italy.

It was an economically and strategically influential bridge in the era of the Roman Empire and the site of the famous Battle of Milvius Bridge.

Along the bridge there is a padlock link that is considered a symbol of love that is expected to be eternal where the momentum is inspired by the story of a novel.

In the novel it is said, a couple who hook a padlock on the bridge and throw the key in the Tiber river will be blessed.

Azlan was not interested in the padlock link but he just wanted to know how the night atmosphere on the bridge was always talked about by people lately.

as he walked along the bridge he could see rows of padlocks interlocked there adorning each side of the bridge.

various colorful padlocks are bridges that are on the left and right sides.

various kinds of young couples seem to enjoy the atmosphere of the night there, not even a few young couples are busy telling stories, chatting and hooking each other padlocks on each side of the bridge.

Azlan continued to step towards his front with slow steps, enjoying the beautiful night scenery there.

He did not think to hang the padlock there, he just wanted to enjoy the atmosphere of the night breeze in ponte milvio.

For a moment the man chose to sit in one corner of the bridge, raising his head up, staring at the millions of stars that adorn the night sky.

Tringggg

Something is heard falling in front of Azlan, the man hurriedly straightened his gaze, A girl is seen squatting her body trying to find something on the floor.

"Nad. game"

One girl on the other end shouted towards the girl who looked busy looking for something on the floor.

"Can you just wait a minute? padlock and lock her pair fell off"

The girl in front of Azlan answered in panic.

He could not see her face, but the voice and gesture of the body as well as the girl's name felt familiar.

"Forget it, the car is leaving soon, don't you need a padlock partner?"

In the end the girl gave up, with a hurried movement directly standing up from her spot.

Azlan's ball looked at the girl before him with a straight look, he frowned for a moment.

Petunia?!.

As soon as the girl passed, Azlan was still staring at the girl's back.

Then he suddenly felt his feet stepping on something.

The man lowered his gaze, he immediately stared at what was down there.

A padlock complete with the key child.

Azlan slowly picked up the padlock, he stared at the padlock for some time.

Eventually the man grabbed a marker in his pants pocket and wrote something there.

PETUNIAS.

Then the man began to associate the padlock is one wall ponte milvio.

After that Azlan moved away from there.

Without him noticing a padlock had been stuck there as soon as some time before, tucked one name under his.

Black panther & I miss you.

Back to the present

Nadine gasped in shock from her sleep when she involuntarily heard the roar of a car that was out of nowhere.

The girl tried to familiarize her gaze for some time then she frowned.

Rooms?!.

The girl thought when did she return to her room?!.

Azlan?!.

As quickly as lightning Nadine woke up from her sleep, running towards the window of her room, opening the window of the room and then gushing her head quickly.

He could see Azlan's car starting to move away from his mansion.

The girl was silent for some time and then slowly she slipped her face into her window curtains and put on her smile with millions of feelings mixed into one.
