The Walter A Cobalt Blue Fire
Injured

"Mr Nick!"

Grachia approached Nick who was walking into the house. The middle-aged woman seemed worried about Nick, holding both of his cheeks. Trying to make sure that Nick is okay.

"The money's done, Mom! If they come back again, call me as soon as possible!" nick said, holding Grachia's hand into the house.

"Where did Mr Nick get that kind of money?" tanya Grachia enthusiastically.

"Savior woman!" reply brief.

"Rescuration woman?" ask Grachia astonished.

Nick replied to a small nod, feeling no need to explain at length about the rescue woman and where the money came from, which Nick clearly felt the debt was over. If they come back, of course they just want to make a calculation.

Later, Nick sulks to Grachia. Feeling that his stomach needs to be filled, his body must recover immediately to restore the energy that had been absorbed by the negative energy of the people present threatening him.

"Don't go to the mountain Mr. Nick" said Grachia, pausing the spoon that was trying to get into his mouth.

"Continue?" nick's reply pretended to be clueless about the dangerous mountain where Manfreed was digging for white lead.

"The danger!" expressive Grachia reply.

"Then don't you worry if Mr. Manfreed gets lost there?" Nick tries to distract Grachia, without stopping the chewing activity. Letting her molars clash, crushing the whole meal to pieces, until Grachia answered her question.

"Of course you're worried, Mr. Nick! But relax, you'll be right back. So you don't have to pick her up," Grachia retorted.

Nick knows where the tin mine is. Nick also understood, what danger Grachia meant if Nick desperate to go there. However, Manfreed would certainly not have gone home safely if Nick had just kept quiet and waited for his arrival. Nick has to get there, pick up the guy who somehow saved him.

"Save this, use it for everyday purposes, Mom!" nick said as he thrust the money toward Grachia.

Grachia was surprised to see that the money given by Nick was not small, even more than enough to make the stove billow every day without having to work hard.

Instantly clear circles escaped from the eye crackers of Grachia, feeling very moved to get treatment from a man who could be said to be a nobody. Nick's presence not only makes his own happiness for him. However, Nick is like a helper angel every distress that plagues his little family.

"Thank you, Mr. Nick!" his reply.

Moments later, Nick and Grachia hear the door leaf knocking violently.

"Let me!" nick paused Grachia who was standing to open the door.

Grachia nodded obediently, then followed her steps from behind.

Meanwhile, Nick is surprised to see Diamond suddenly come to Grachia's house.

"Miss!" sapa Grachia was enthusiastic as soon as she saw the diamond pecking on the doorstep

"Please come in" he added.

"Thank you," he replied with a shy smile towards the two people who were looking at him in a completely wrong manner.

While Nick, like, doesn't want to hear any more debate in this house. The presence of Diamond today will certainly make a rejection of the offer that was said yesterday without thinking long.

"I accepted your offer" said Diamond suddenly.

Nick jerks Grachia looks offended.

"I don't care if you're willing to marry without love, but you have to promise me one thing, Nick!" say Diamond again.

"Married?" sahut Grachia.

"Nick was right, if this baby should be born with a Father-Pun He should also grow up, even without Me!

Nick is starting to whine! What did Diamond mean, why did he suddenly say such a word. Didn't she promise yesterday that she will raise her baby, protect and care for her to adulthood.

"You mean?" ask Nick to try to find out the explanation of the diamond's intent.

"Someday, you'll know Nick! If you're willing to marry me, promise to raise, care for and care for her into adulthood" replied the Glassy Diamond.

"But-"

The diamond returned a smile, then he got up from his seat. Without saying any more, Diamond walked out of Grachia's house.

"Wait!" nick paused Diamond trying to drive his car alone in the middle of the night.

"Let me take you home" he added, making an offer.

"No need, I can go home by myself. Rest, it seems like today is very tiring," he replied.

But Nick did not want to stay silent, he certainly could not bear to see this woman driving a car alone in the middle of a quiet night like this. Besides, Nick's worried about the baby. Nick is also worried, Diamond is hiding something from him. Nick must find out, what makes Diamond accept his offer to marry him while Diamond knows that if Nick does this, their marriage is certainly on a loveless basis.

"Come in, I just want to make sure that Miss Berlian gets home safely" she replied.

Diamonds follow Nick's request. Feeling that during his close proximity to this man, he also felt very protected.

"Thank you" said Diamond on the trip.

Nick returned a sweet smile, while somewhat awkwardly confirming the position of his oval glasses.

"Maybe want to have dinner first," Diamond hesitated, fearing that Nick would turn down the offer.

"There's a place of recommendation" asked Diamond.

"Please Miss Diamond-"

"Don't be so formal, Nick!" sahut Diamond quickly interrupted his answer.

Nick looked up at the woman who was looking at him.

"Resto's just over there, there's a menu we should try" he added.

Nick nodded his head then drove towards the restaurant Diamond intended.

This resto? Mumbled. Didn't Nick ever visit him! Nick remembers having a special dinner with Stevy at the time - and he remembers the promise he made to this place, that Nick would never leave Stevy for any reason! So why did he come with a different woman.

Nick is stunned, in disbelief! Maybe it's time to let go! He muttered after seeing another figure there.

"What's wrong?" ask Diamond.

"Mmm, Sa-I have a better place recommendation," he replied looking for an excuse.

"All right," he replied, then got back in the car.

Nick stayed away from the place. Somehow his heart was sliced to see two people sitting on the rooftop, where Nick and Stevy had their first dinner, but Stevy had a romantic dinner tonight with another man.

Should Nick be jealous to see Stevy with another man? Didn't Stevy do that because Nick had committed to marrying Diamond? Then how did Stevy know about this plan? Nick's mind is completely fucked.

"Nick?" Diamonds break the silence.

"What's wrong?" he said as soon as he saw Nick's gaze empty.

"No! It's okay" he replied.

Then Nick drove his car quickly towards the restaurant that had been promised for Diamond.

***

This morning was a special day for him, the man in a neat black suit stared fixedly at the mirror.

Nick promised never to let his tears escape. If he must be willing to lose a loved woman, then he promises to get the title that has been fought for.

"Mr Nick, are you ready?"

The knock on the door and Grachia's voice blew away Nick's daydream that morning, he did not want to look weak in everyone's eyes just because of a broken heart.

"Handsome," Grachia decak amazed.

Nick returned a smile, responding to Grachia's hand rubbing against his two cheeks.

"The Diamond Miss is waiting for you in front" Grachia said.

"We have to take three photos" he added, holding Nick's hand to the car.

"Sir Manfreed?" nick said spontaneously.

"Don't think about him! You must have come home" Grachia replied.

Nick hopes that on his graduation day, Manfreed comes to witness his vows, but circumstances say otherwise.

"Sir Nick, what are you waiting for?" again Grachia broke her daydream.

This woman looks happy attending the graduation celebration, but Nick looks a little uninspired, because one thing or another that makes his heart feel biased.

Nick took a deep breath, as he walked into the long hallway of the entrance of the graduates and graduates. His gaze was fixed towards the one woman who had been interfering with his thoughts since earlier, should he let go of that beautiful woman? His murmur was timeless from the sight of a smiling woman sharing her happiness with her friends.

Don't let your tears escape Nick! Don't look weak in the eyes of that woman? His heart ached and refused to go near Stevy. Nick actually wanted to congratulate you on graduating, but I don't know.

The noise that had been created finally disappeared, changing with one source of sound that interrupted their attention. The man who was standing full of authority on the graduation stage, began to speak. One by one the speeches had been recited, until at the end of his speech, the man called out the name of a familiar woman.

'STEVY OSWALD, WILL YOU MARRY ME'

Nick jerks. His head slightly looked up at the woman who was smiling happily at the words.

While Nick's heart skipped a beat, like a drum that was pounded out loud accompanying the noise created by the encouragement of everyone who was there, clamoring for Stevy to accept the proposal of the Lecturer who was opening the event, read out a speech and end up a proposal to a loved one.

It's insane! Inwardly, the tears that had been held back since then finally escaped as well. Nick was completely helpless to watch Stevy accept the Lecturer's proposal in front of the graduates.

Until the end of the graduation ceremony, Nick again saw Stevy was taking pictures with his family.

"Sorry!" stevy.

"I hope you come to my wedding ceremony later" he added, holding out a wedding invitation.

Nick quiet. Staring at Stevy who looked glazed.

"Bye bye!"

Stevy passes by leaving Nick covered with a million cuts.
