THE OWNER OF THE HEART ROOM
30

Nawang snorted in shock as he felt his arm being touched by something cold.

There was a cold bottle of contemporary coffee stuck to his arm resting on the table.

He lifted his gaze when he realized beside him had stood someone.

"Eh, Sir?" nawang said in shock when he found Richard's sweet smile.

"All your friends gather in front of a crowd of people, you are still glaring at the data" said Richard then pulled a chair to sit next to Nawang.

Of course the woman blingsatan.

Why is anyone sitting there? What if anyone saw?

Nawang took the initiative to move from his seat by pretending to count the stock of goods on a nearby shelf.

"The coffee was drunk first, ma'am" Richard said as he opened the two lids of the bottle he was carrying.

He then drank one bottle, and another bottle was placed near the keyboard Nawang.

"Yes. Thanks though. As soon as I finish this, take responsibility." said Nawang while commenting on his fake smile.

Richard did not answer.

He chose to stare at every movement of Nawang without making a sound.

Indeed his heart is sad and sad at this time.

His chatter with the Stars last night was enough to shock him.

His first surprise came when he asked about the whereabouts of the boy's father.

The flashback

*************

"My father doesn't live here, Mr. Boss." replied the Star with his song.

"Where do you stay?" ask Richard kepo fashion on.

"No idea. Dad said he was now boarding near his workplace." replied the relaxed Star.

Richard's stunned.

The boarding?

They split the house?

"Your old father's hostess?" ask Richard.

"Yet. After Mom and Dad divorced. Mom said, after they divorced they can't stay home anymore. Yeah, so you're the one who moved." replied the Star casually.

Richard suddenly felt his chest fill with gas; hot and tight.

"Well your mother divorced?" ask Richard as flat as possible. His heart was not beating.

"Yes. If I knew you and mom could get divorced, I'd have asked you to divorce me from the same father" said Bintang in a sad tone.

Richard choked.

What's the matter?

What's with them?

"Why? Why do you want your mother divorced from your father?" ask Richard lirih.

"I don't like to see my mom crying. Although mom always lies with me, but I know you often sad to continue crying every time you talk to dad. I feel sorry for you, Mr. Boss." said the Star, glazed over.

Richard involuntarily closed his eyes with his fingers.

There was a tear he was trying to hide from the view of the Star.

Oh my.....

What's wrong with your life, Nope?

Are you really living that hard life?

"Who do you know from when your mom and dad got divorced?" ask Richard to convince the truth.

"Mom said the same to me, Boss. Mom also apologized for making me unable to see Dad every day. But I can't see Dad every day. The important thing is that you never cry anymore" said the little smiling Star.

"Now you never cry again?" asked Richard in a relieved voice.

"Yes. Now cry if you see the soap opera mas Al aja." replied the innocent star.

Richard chuckles.

Now he's really curious.

As good as what is the soap opera that there is mas Alnya, to be a trending topic in the world of Indonesian women?

"If so, don't be naughty. So a good child let your mother not be sad. You have to take care of your mother, huh, Bin? You are a man" said Richard.

Verily his heart is weeping bitterly at the sorrow of Nawang's life.

He felt very guilty with all the suffering in Nawang's life.

If he had struggled to continue with Nawang and did not follow Nawang's insistence at that time, maybe the woman would not be this miserable life.

"Yes, Mr. Boss." replied the Star then yawned.

Richard chuckled at it. He then remembered Darren.

"When do you want to play? Mr. Boss bring Mr. Boss' son too, his name is Darren. Later you can play together." Richard bargained.

The stars were happy.

"But if you can't be the same mom how?" ask the flagging star.

"Udah. Let Mr. Boss talk to your mother. Now you're booby first huh. You're fucking, aren't you?" said Richard who replied nod by the Stars.

The boy waved his hand before disconnecting their VC.

Flashback off

*************

Nawang glanced at Richard and only returned a faint smile to Richard.

Nawang then kept back cool with his busy work down the shelf, while Richard had spent his coffee with thoughts that continued to revolve about the woman.

"I drank your coffee, didn't I?" richard asked sucks.

He intentionally mocked Nawang.

"Please." replied Nawang who saw it at a glance.

Who wants to drink coffee? Here also bring ice that immediately or soft drink even delicious.

"I'll change it. You still like to drink Sprite with Bear Brand?" asked Richard then sipped the coffee he had given Nawang.

"Still." replied Nawang with a smile.

I remember I liked that drink.

"Why are you coming home from work?" ask Richard.

Nawang momentarily stopped his activities and looked at Richard from where he was standing.

"Nothing to say." answered Nawang flatly.

."I'm yuk!" encourage Richard to get excited.

Nawang looked at Richard in astonishment.

How dare he take me out. Gini.

"I'm sorry, I can't" Nawang said firmly.

"Why? He said you didn't come home from work." asked Richard in protest.

"I do not say anything does not mean I can be invited out carelessly as well. I have a family, sir." replied Nawang firmly.

He wanted to show that he did not like Richard's invitation.

"We take the children out" said Richard kalem, making Nawang astonished.

"Whose kids?" ask Nawang confused.

"I take my son, you take your son. Yesterday I promised the Stars we'd go play together" Richard said with a wailing look.

This is what the hell?! Why would this brave Richard take her out like we were all free?

He did not know I was a widow.

Nawang's chest suddenly thumped very fast.

Don't the stars talk about divorce.

Richard caught Nawang's suspicious look at him.

"Why is my eating like that? I suspect that." asked Richard to surprise Nawang.

"No papa." answered Nawang nervously.

Nawang hesitated to ask what Richard and the Stars were talking about last night.

He was afraid that later the truth was true Star had unknowingly talked about the matter of his divorce.

"So can you, right?" ask Richard again.

"What?" ask Nawang confused.

"Once we've been working with the kids. Let our children know each other." Richard said with a seductive smile.

"Next time, sir. I haven't told Bintang that I want to walk him." elak Nawang.

Hadyeeeeh...🤦

"So when are you? I'm not good with the stars, because I promised him I'd get to know my son." insisted Richard.

Nawang thought for a moment.

Lazy actually to fulfill Richard's wishes.

He was afraid that he would baper again with the kindness of the man.

He won't be hurt again.

"Let me talk to the stars later if we don't go out" said Nawang finally.

Richard did not seem to accept that answer.

"Do you want your son to be disappointed?" asked Richard riled.

"You shouldn't have to promise her anything. Don't make it too easy to promise, sir" Nawang warned Richard.

Richard did not answer.

He stared intently at Nawang with a look of despair.

"Your work" said Richard.

Nawang was stunned in his place.

"You build walls so high that you don't know anything in front of you. You just think about how to not be disappointed without caring about someone who is disappointed with your attitude" said Richard then stood up and passed from the place without a sound again.

Nawang was slapped just now.

"That's not what I mean, Mas" said Nawang rather loudly without him noticing.

His voice was shaking because he had been crying.

Richard who was still standing behind the door could still clearly hear Nawang's cry.

There was a smile on his sad face.

But he still chose to go from there.
