THE PENANCE: THE PEBINOR
TP - 22
Faidan passed and took the elevator. The elevator stopped on the 16th floor. Elevator door opens. Faidan looked at the beautiful girl standing in front of the elevator door with a sad expression. The girl came in and hit 21.
He glanced at the girl who started crying restrainedly. Faidan became awkward. "Miss, are you okay?"
The girl who was none other than Nalesha turned to him for a moment and then shook her head. "I had a fight with my boyfriend. I can't stand ending my relationship with her."
"That's it, huh?" Faidan scratched his head that was not itchy. "What did he do to you?"
Nalesha did not answer.
The elevator stopped on the 18th floor. Two women came in and looked at Nalesha who was crying in silence. The two women also glanced at Faidan.
As if understanding with the two women's gazes, Faidan immediately shook his hand. "No, I didn't make her cry."
On the 20th floor, the two women came out. Faidan glanced at Nalesha who was still inside the elevator. On the 21st floor, Faidan came out as well as Nalesha. Both are going in the same direction.
"Lesha?"
Nalesha's steps came to a halt when she heard the voice of someone calling her name. He looked at Faidan, Arnav. The man looked angry and approached Nalesha.
Out of fear, Nalesha hid behind Faidan. Faidan panicked because Nalesha seemed to be asking for protection from him.
"Miss, I don't want to get involved with your problems" Faidan said in a panic.
"Please help me, my father will definitely be angry with me and punish me," Nalesha trembled.
"Dad?" Faidan muttered half-questioningly. He looked at Arnav.
"Mr Gumelar, we meet again" Arnav said as he glanced at Nalesha who was hiding behind Faidan.
"Ah? I-yes." Faidan smiled stiffly.
"Lesha, come! Why are you hiding behind Mr Gumelar?" snapped Arnav.
"Dad will scold me, I won't go to Dad" Nalesha's cry grew louder.
"I don't want to! I can't stand it! I want to end the relationship with her" cried Nalesha.
Faidan feels bad. He asked, "Master Haden, is she your daughter?"
"Yes, she's my only daughter. He often sulks like that. I'm sorry that you feel uncomfortable" replied Arnav feeling guilty.
"It's okay" said Faidan. The man turned to look at Nalesha. "I think you'd better go back to your father. He can't hurt you."
"She will scold me and forbid me to eat for 3 days to the point that I am thin and my dress is looseness" Nalesha chanted in her tears.
Hearing that, Arnav swerved. That little girl why is she acting so much? When did I ban him from eating? All the food supplies in Prince Zael's refrigerator were eaten by him.
Faidan turned back to Arnav. Immediately Arnav changed his expression.
"Mr Haden, promise me you won't scold your daughter" Faidan said.
"What's? But, he made a mistake," Arnav said seriously.
"Then, Miss, apologize to your father, "send Faidan.
Nalesha nodded sadly. "Dad, I'm sorry. I'll go back to see my fiancee outside."
Arnav extended his hand. "All right, I forgive you. Come on, let's go see him."
Arnav and Nalesha leave. Faidan folded his hands in front of his chest. The man muttered, "His daughter Arnav Haden is very beautiful, different from her father. But, I think that girl is too young to get engaged."
