"G-, Alma!" tukas Otis shocked. He had not expected Alma to come here. The reason Otis invited Luke to his house was to talk about the share distribution because there would soon be a general meeting of shareholders at the Rivers Group.
"What are you guys talking about? Why would Luke want to marry Nay? What's going on here, brother?" sue Alma with a series of questions.
Otis approached his sister and grabbed her. "We're talking about foreign service. And Luke asked my permission to take you to the service. Hows it? You agree, don't you?"
"But I heard earlier, Luke wanted to marry Nay and divorce me. A-, did I hear wrong? Am I too tired and too scared to lose my husband? Oh, I'm out of my mind like that, sister," cried Alma.
Otis hugged his sister and calmed her down. "You're tired, Alma. Go home and rest, if you need to go for a walk and go shopping to buy all your needs and Luke to be there later,"
Alma's heart was still unsettled as she looked at the face of Kanaya and Luke, who let go of her nephew's hand quickly.
"I feel like there's something wrong here, brother. Why is Nay crying and why is Luke shaking Nay's hand? What the hell is going on?" ask Alma again. He should have just walked in earlier, rather than he stealing his hearing from behind that teak-lined door. "What's up, brother?"
Otis asks Luke to accompany his wife out of his house. "Forget over this matter, I don't want Alma to know this disgrace! I'll take care of your departure tickets in the afternoon!" otis whisper.
Before Luke responded to Otis, the man had already pushed him out of the room.
"Nay, you're leaving this afternoon. Forget about your uncle and find a man who is really good for you" Otis told Kanaya.
Kanaya set her foot in annoyance. If her aunt hadn't come, she would have married Uncle Luke. At once, the hatred for Aunt Alma began to creep in and settle in Nay's heart.
Before long, Otis' phone rings and it turns out it's from the North family. Otis face immediately sumringah when talking to colleagues and prospective iron.
When he finished, Otis approached Kanaya, who was wrapped in a blanket in his room. "Nay,"
"Yes, Pa," answered Kanaya, she immediately got out of her bed and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Papa's sorry, what you did with your uncle is wrong and Papa doesn't want you to keep remembering your uncle, Nay," Otis said. He tried to feel his daughter's feelings. However, Nay remained silent. "Just now, the North family contacted Papa. They want to meet you and continue our good relationship. Hows it? You want to accompany Papa?"
Nay was silent. He was tired of explaining to his father that he did not want to marry anyone, not even the president's son. However, his father is deaf and still wants to marry Felix.
"I wanted to see Kai" Nay said, and without answering his father's questions, he hurried away from his estranged father in the pink room.
When he arrived at the hospital, Kai was on a therapy program. He waved his hand cheerfully using his other hand that was not wrapped in bandages. "Wait on, yeah,"
Nay nodded slowly. After Kai finished, he approached Nay with his legs still slightly limping.
"Hey, I think you're mad at me," said Kai, grinning broadly at her.
The girl who looked beautiful that day with that simple look also replied to Kai with a smile. "If I'm angry with you, I no longer have a place to complain, Kai,"
Clear details of tears falling on Nay's lap and suddenly just like rain falling, Nay's tears were screeching.
"love me? Foolish Kai, hahaha!" nay said with a laugh. To him, Kai was not only a friend but also an older brother.
Nay is an only child. His mother divorced from his father because Otis was too busy with his work. Otis insists Nay's custody falls into his hands.
Be Nay was raised by his father and aunt. He has no friends because Otis is afraid that Nay's mother will suddenly come and kidnap Nay, so Nay is schooled at home by Otis.
As soon as he went to business school, he met Kai but Kai didn't go there. He works to help students make thesis or report. There, Nay offers Kai to work at his father's place as an employee. That was the beginning of their friendship.
"Kai, my father still wants to marry me to Felix. Papa told Aunt and Uncle to honeymoon for a month. Papa didn't tell me where they were going. What do I do, Kai?" ask Nay. He does not want to get married and he also does not want to imagine his uncle and aunt honeymoon somewhere.
The man exhaled his breath. "Let me talk to your father then. I can leave the hospital tomorrow. If I can't get home yet, I'm gonna get out of here,"
Nay laughed a little. "What are you going to talk to my father about? How dare you talk to my father,"
"Look at tomorrow" challenge Kai.
Sure enough, the next day when Kai was released from the hospital, Kai immediately went to the Otis Rivers.
"Oh, Fletcher. You look healthy, hahahaha! Sit down, don't get too tired" Otis said kindly. "Kanaya told me about what you came here for. So, what's up, Young Man?"
Kai smirked shyly. "It's about Kanaya, sir. Kanaya told me that you still want to marry Nay to Felix North. Shouldn't you let Nay alone first?"
"What do you mean?" tanya Otis hesitated. The old man did not know whether to trust the young man before him or not?
"Nay tells me if you ask him to study abroad, give Nay a choice. Let him choose which is best for him. She wants to go to college or get married? Whatever the choice, I'm sure he knows better" replied Kai.
Otis nodded his head. "You said it too, Kai. Actually I just want him to forget about Luke and be able to find his own love,"
Kai cleared his throat and showed himself in front of Otis. "Ehem! Like me for example, hahahaha,"
"Hahahaha, you should learn more, Kai. I'll just approve you. For now, be a good friend to Nay" Otis said.
That night, Otis calls Nay. He follows Kai's advice to give his only choice to the princess.
"Nay, Kai came here. Kai's arrival opened my eyes and made me realize that all these are you and I can't manage you like this. I'm sorry," said Otis.
Nay's speechless. What was said by Kai until his father could apologize to him at this time.
"If you don't want to marry Felix, then I'll give you a choice. Which one would you like to choose, marry Felix or go to college outside? Both choices I give you with one goal, to forget your uncle" Otis continued.
