The Love of a Mr. Nauder
Plan

After searching for Maudy, Richard decides to visit Mateo. After a car is driven in front of a house, Ricard gets out of his car, Man walks into a house where Matteo is locked up. He opened the door and saw the man sitting on the sofa and walked up to him.

"Matteo," called Richard over to Matteo who only turned a glance. He looked resentfully at Ricard.

Richard took a breath. As usual, he could at least be silenced by Matteo. Mateo is the only person who has always been at his lowest, until Ricard's love for the man is so passionate.

"You didn't do anything to Maudy, did you?" ricard asked carefully, he was afraid of offending Mateo.

Matteo, who was reading a magazine, turned his head. "If I could, I'd like to do something to that woman, but you locked me in here, then how could I be like that? Do you think that makes sense?" Mateo said with sewot.

Matteo closes the magazine and leaves Richard. He was still upset at the man who locked him up here. Richard now rubbed a rough face.

Richard's been looking everywhere all day, but nothing made him decide to go home. Then now, unfinished for his fiancee, he instead had to deal with Matteo.

***

Steve now pulls the car over on the side of the road intending to rest his body for a moment. It had been twelve hours that he had been looking for Maudy here and there until he had missed lunch, but unfortunately he was nowhere.

And now, Steve's body felt so limp. He was hungry but lazy to eat because he always remembered Maudy. She was afraid that the woman would not be fed by her captors.

Before long, Steve's phone rang. A call came in from Elsa that she immediately picked up.

"Yes, Mom?" greet Steve, even to answer Elsa's words he was so weak.

"Where are you?" ask Elsa.

"I'm still looking for Maudy, I'll be home soon" Stev replied.

"Stev, Maudy called Mommy."

"What?!" Steve was immediately shocked to hear Elsa's speech across the street.

"What's he saying?"

"She was being kidnapped by someone, but she said the news was fine" Elsa said.

"Mommy, how could Maudy call Mommy when her phone isn't there?" Steve asked back.

"Maudy called from her kidnapper's home phone so she could say she was fine. Now, he's looking for a way to escape. Daddy has also directed his men to the point where Maudy betada is located," Elsa lies, hoping that her son will come home soon.

It felt. Elsa could not bear to see Steve like this, until she told him to go home. The man now heaved a sigh of relief when he found out that Nauder was already moving. At least now, he could calm down and rest.

Steve, who had started to get back into power, turned on the engine and returned to running his car to go to a restaurant.

***

Steve is now in a restaurant. He went down and walked in lethargic. After ordering the food, he fell silent daydreaming at the table.

Steve is still thinking about Maudy, he is afraid something happened to his ex-wife, although now the father has known the point of Maudy's existence. But still, he couldn't stop worrying.

Twenty minutes later, Steve's steak arrived until he ate it without any taste in it. He was eating with an empty mind.

Until finally, the dinner was over. Steve quickly left the restaurant and decided to go home and rest his body.

After a long journey, finally the car that was driven by Steve arrived home. The man got out of the car and walked in.

Nauder and Elsa were already there.

"Have you eaten?" ask Elsa.

Steve nodded and sat down next to his father

"How, have your men been working, Dad?" ask Steve.

Nauder. "They knew Maudy's position, and now we just have to wait for the result" Nauder replied. It felt, he was eager to laugh when he saw his son like this.

Steve looked at Nauder and Elsa who in his eyes looked very relaxed as if facing the kidnapping of Maudy.

"Aren't you guys worried about Maudy? How can you guys look so relaxed?" steve's question made the atmosphere tense, and before long Elsa and Nauder looked at each other.

"Steve, did you know we just came home to visit the police station? Daddy had already asked the police for help to surround his kidnapping, as there was no way Daddy's men could be free to move without the officer's permission. This is a foreign country."

Nauder had a thousand and one reasons to convince Steve who now seemed to believe.

The man sighed and then got up from his seat and went into the room. He does not see Geo here and thinks that he is sleeping, but in fact Geo is at Maudy's house.

***

Richard got out of the car, the man walked into the house in shaky steps. After calming Matteo down, he returned to look for Maudy.

But looking for a long time, Maudy still not found until now he also entered Leana's room because since yesterday he had not seen his daughter.

Richard opened the door to Leana's room that had not been asleep when it was night, until Leana turned her head, The girl looked at Ricard lazily.

"Leana," call Richard. He sat down next to her. "You're sad Daddy didn't get engaged to Maudy?" ask Ricard, who wants to know what Maudy's doing.

Leana kept the tab and then looked at her father. "No, I'm not sad at all" Leana replied indifferently.

Richard frowned. "You mean?" asked Ricard who was surprised, was not his daughter loved Maudy very much.

"Here you go, Daddy doesn't have to discuss Aunt Maudy. Daddy take care of Uncle Matteo, "take care of Leana.

Richard closed his eyes to Leana's words, saying, "Oh yeah, another one, if Aunt Maudy is found, I want to stay with her." Leana Langusung said her wish.

"Leana, what the hell are you? Why would you want to live with someone else when Daddy was alive?" richard asked, He even raised his voice.

"Now tell me, honestly do you love Uncle Matteo more than I do?" For the first time he dared to ask such a thing, even though he already knew the answer.

Richard looked up when he heard Leana's question. The thing he had never imagined before, where this girl would ask like that. Each of them has its own portion in their life.

"Why? Can't Daddy answer?" Leana spoke with a broken heart.

"What Daddy and Uncle Mateo did was wrong, and as an apology you may ask anything from Daddy."

Leana smiled bitterly, upon hearing the father's words, which implied that her father did not

"I want Daddy to let Uncle Matteo go."

"Daddy can't, Leana."

Leana's eyes glazed over upon hearing Richard's words. The crying that had paused again repeated.

"Daddy has been like this since the beginning, Daddy can not manage the desire on anyone including Uncle Matteo. Daddy loves you too because you're Daddy's daughter." Ricard tried to give his son some understanding.

"Enough, I don't want to hear it" said Leana, "I don't want to hear anymore."

Leana's lips trembled as she spoke indirectly, Ricard preferring Mateo over her.

Feeling that Leana was unable to talk, Richard decided to get up from his seat. "Rest, we'll talk later."

Afterwards, Richard exited Leana's room. The girl hugged her knees and then tightened after she was alone there.

Really, it felt like he wanted to stay at Maudy's house, but unfortunately the woman forbade him to avoid Richard and Stev's suspicions. While Maudy I himself plans to appear before Ricard and Steve two days to go, so that everything looks real and not theatrical.

Richard leaned his body back. He who had just entered the room, decided to sit down for a moment. At that time, Leana's words again ringed to make her heart broken. He really couldn't choose between Matteo and Leana.

***

Steve inched up from his recline, he decided to stay outside with a cigarette. He opened the balcony door and stood there looking at Maudy's dark house.

The darkness made him think no one was there. She also thought that January had still not come home from looking for her brother, but it was all wrong.

In fact, Maudy was looking up at Steve.

At first Maudy was also daydreaming on the balcony, but when he saw Steve's silhouette, he immediately turned off the lights and sat down and peeked at Steve from the gaps of the guardrail.

Maudy leaned her head to the side. He looked at Steve who was smoking. His smile suddenly expands when he remembers Elsa's saying that the man loves her.

"Steve, this time can I trust you that you won't hurt me again?" lirih Maudy with a clear feather fell from her eye patch. For some reason, God again presents love to her ex-husband.

Meanwhile, Steve, who was satisfied to smoke, immediately rose from his seat intending to visit Maudy's house so that his longing could be slightly cured.

Maudy, who saw the movement, thought that Steve was coming out of the balcony to sleep because the night was late, but he was wrong. He now heard the sound of the gate opening until he realized something.

Maudy quickly got up then ran towards Geo's room. He called her, "Geo."

Geo, who was usually hard to wake up after falling asleep, now opened his eyes. "There's Daddy outside, you're pretending you're sleeping here because you miss Mommy, okay?"

The half-conscious Geo only cleared his throat, but even so, he understood the words of Maudy who was now hiding under his son's bed.

Before long, there was the sound of the steps of someone who was climbing the stairs until a second later, the door of the room opened. Apparently before coming here, he first went to his son's room, until now he rounded his eyes surprised when he saw Geo was here.

Steve thinks his son is sleeping in his house. He now walked towards the bed making Maudy who was hiding hold her breath because she was so nervous and afraid that the man caught her.

"Geo," call Steve.

Geo just closed, re-opened his eyes why.

"Why are you sleeping here? Though there is no one here?” stev asked, he looked in surprise at his son because he thought Geo was staying at his house.

"Because ...." Geo fell silent, he suddenly became aware of Maudy's words.

"Because I want to miss Mommy," Geo replied as he rubbed his eyes. He was almost caught lying.

Steve nodded. "Yes you're sleeping again, Daddy's sleeping here too."

Maudy's eyes rounded at Steve's words, as well as Geo who knew where her mother was hiding.

If Steve really stayed here, then it was certain that Maudy would not get out of bed.

"No, let's just sleep at home. I'm not comfortable being here because I keep remembering Mommy" Geo said with half-closed eyes

Steve nodded, he got up from his seat then led Geo to get up from the room which made Maudy sigh in relief. He got out of bed and locked Geo's door and decided to sleep there.

***

Two days later.

"Daddy haven't found out from Maudy?" steve asked as Nauder looked relaxed. The father said he would release Maudy immediately, and now that two days have passed, no sign of her has been found.

"We're making an arrest on Maudy's kidnapper who turns out to have a grudge against Richard" Nauder replied, as long as Steve frowned when he remembered Richard's words.

"But Ricard said he had no enemies" Stev said

"Maybe she didn't realize, it could have been her enemy in the blanket. Come on, we live in the business world, there must be people who don't like it" Nauder replied convincingly.

Steve did not answer again because he felt that Nauder's words were true. In the business world there is no such thing as friends, everything is just opponents.

"Then, when should I wait? I'm really scared of anything happening with Maudy" asked Stev impatiently.

"Wait a minute, the police will save Maudy when the kidnapper is off guard, and that's night."

This time, Steve tried to trust the father even though in his heart of course he doubted. However, he remains hopeful that his ex-wife can be quickly rescued.

***

Maudy was staring at herself in the mirror. He has been at the hotel since noon. Although he pretended, but he had to prepare everything, including his appearance to be really like the person who had just been kidnapped

Now, Maudy has put on a simple outfit to make sure that it was the kidnapper's gift. Her hair was ruffled so that everything seemed real.

"Your plans are ridiculous" said January, who was in front of her brother.

"Shut up, if you don't know anything," Maudy replied as he made a crackle in January.

"Where I may not know anything, from yesterday I was like a fool following your plan" replied January making Maudy turn.

"How do I look? Am I like the one who was kidnapped?" ask Maudy.

"You're really weird. Just tell me you love Steve, why it has to be like this."

"Don't talk about anything else, tell me what my appearance has been convincing?” ask Maudy.

“Hmm, already very convincing, let's go home.” January rose from his seat, they immediately came out of the hotel, Some people who passed by the two looked at Maudy astonished at his appearance that was completely messy.

That made January look down, he was really embarrassed to walk with his brother.

While in the basement, there were also some police officers in suits who were, of course, Nauder's men. The policeman had been hired by Steve's own father to accompany Maudy so that he was seen really delivered by the police.

"Please come in" said the police

Maudy nodded then got into the car.

***

"Can you shut up?" elsa asked as her son continued to walk here and there.

"Where can I shut up?" steve asked Elsa.

At the moment, it feels like Steve really can't wait for Maudy's return. He wants to see the condition of the person he loves. Since then, he could not sit up agitated, he kept walking back and forth while looking down the road, hoping that the car Maudy was carrying would arrive soon.

So happy to know that Maudy has been found, Steve does not realize that Elsa and Nauder's reaction looks ordinary

Fifteen minutes later, there was a siren until Steve came straight out of the gate. He saw a police car stop in front of him.

Maudy is now trying to normalize her expression. He even wears eye drops to look like he is crying. A second later, the car door opened from outside.

"Maudy," called Steve with eyes discussing

Maudy's eyes looked teary, and of course it was just acting. He got out of the car and Steve hugged him. She even sobbed and made Maudy want to laugh and shed tears at the same time.

Elsa and Nauder want to laugh when they see Steve's reaction. In retrospect, this was the first time they had seen the man cry because all this time, he had always hidden his feelings from them.

Steve let go of his embrace then looked at Maudy. "You all right? Is anyone hurt? Did he hurt you?" asked Steve bertubi while cupping the cheek of Maudy who felt flowery when he saw the care of this man.

Before long, the sound of a car engine made the two turn to Richard. Apparently, Steve told the man that Maudy had been found

When Richard's car stopped, Steve immediately distanced his hand from Maudy because he did not want the man to misunderstand. Richard got out of the car and ran straight to Maudy.

"Maudy!" call Richard.

Just as he was about to hug Maudy, Maudy suddenly moved away and stood by Steve making Richard frown so, too, with Ricard understanding that his ex-wife did not want to be hugged by Richard, stay back in place.
