Tone of Nara
66. Hiccuping

POV Mahardika

“Oke turned out to be the winner of Sicantik Nara,” Franco said. “But because it is night, for the settlement we can do tomorrow while having lunch. How about if I invite the last two bidders to lunch together tomorrow, all Ms Nara can take her necklace, how about?” the word Franco makes my eel shrivel. Again I asked in my heart. What game are they playing? I have to be careful, and now my eyes are focused on

“OK, no problem, “ says Nara.

“Where is Pradipta?” franco.

“OK, no problem too,” said Pradipta. I saw a sneaky flash in Pradipta's eyes. He seemed pleased with his friend's proposal. Behind the professional manner, Pradipta silently stared at Juli and Nara alternately. Calmly, Nara ignored Pradipta. He only filled out some files for auction purposes. I returned to position

Of July. It turned out that he was still engrossed in the necklace he displayed. He doesn't seem to care about what's on stage. Since it was decided the necklace would belong to Nara, Juli did not like it. She did not want the necklace removed from her neck and it would be handed over to Nara.

The charity auction event has been completed. The total auction revenue that night amounted to 300 million to be donated by LC, announced by July who had managed to remove the diamond necklace Lidya Dirgantara.The guests disperse and go home to make this ballroom room quiet quickly. Only a few of my men were also party caterers, LC committee, we included Franco, Pradipta, July, me and Nara. I'm still in the room to see what happens next and hope to get the information I'm looking for both about Dirgantara and PLD and Franco and Pradipta's plans.

I saw, Pradipta looked at Nara from afar. He was talking to Franco and his team. I immediately sent my team closer, but it was too late. There is not much to hear, but Franco said that the release of the PLD necklace is quite surprising. But they will find out about Nara and why she insisted on getting the necklace, so she wants to spend 150 million. This attracted attention .

I opened my eyes in July. He was busy closing with the LC committee and management team. Maybe they are doing an evaluation or a briefing. According to my men, the LC management will be meeting in the next room, and Juli will go there, while leaving the room. This means Pradipta will be in this room alone. Is he going to get close to Nara?

“Adrian, prepare. Most likely Pradipta will approach Nara,” I said slowly. Adrian was quick to respond to my orders. Nara herself from earlier was busy with the auction committee which provided provisions for the collection of necklaces and payments. In addition, according to what Franco said, Nara will get her necklace tomorrow at lunch with Franco and Pradipta.

“You Nara?” ask Pradipta. True allegations. The man approached Nara, who was meeting with the committee. “It's nice to meet you. I'm Pradipta”.  The man smiled flirtatiously while extending his hand. Adrian and I held their breath for a moment, fearing that Nara would faint.

“Nara, don't turn into a statue or pass out due to medusa descent huh,” I whispered trying to tease to make Nara more relaxed. I saw Nara's reddened face holding back a laugh, making me and Adrian a little relieved.

 “Hai, I'm Nara. Nice to meet you” replied Nara is friendly yet quite professional. Nara is like a professional to her husband.  They shook hands in official style, although the Pradipta from earlier tried to tease the girl. A moment later, Nara let out a strange sound. At first it chokes, then it comes out

the sound of a cat choking several times in a row. Nara hiccups it turns out.

“Hey, why are you? You you're okay2?” pradipta asked who looked astonished and worried about the state of Nara at that time. He approached the girl trying to calm her down by patting her on the back.  My hiccups are spasms in the muscles of the diaphragm that cannot be controlled, usually do not last long and are not a sign of a serious problem. It occurs when the diaphragm, or the muscle membrane that separates the chest cavity and abdominal cavity, contracts. Any contraction that occurs in the organ will have an important role in breathing it and result in the vocal cords closing suddenly, thus producing the typical sound of hiccups.

performed by Nara.

I was worried and wanted to hug him, but it was impossible to do that because he was currently in the hands of the Pradipta. I was surprised to see Adrian just silent. Several times I gave her the code to help Nara, but it was not discussed. He just shook his head and asked me to calm down with his hand code.

I saw Nara's face reddened by the hiccups she was suffering from. I've never seen Nara hiccup like this. I ordered the waiter to bring cold water for Nara. As the waiter with water on the tray approached, Pradipta waved his hand.

“Servant, please bring the cold white water here, fast!” shouted Pradipta. The waiter who was actually my man who I asked to deliver the drink was immediately approaching Pradipta. Narapun knows if I'm the one who sent that guy. So it is not Pradipta who gives white water.

“Iya boss, white water is thanks to you,” suddenly heard the sound of Henry teasing me. ****! The crazy duo started to read my mind again. With Henry laughing giggling and Adrian pangs holding back laughter.

“Wow when the boss falls in love, his mind becomes easily intruded. This danger is yan,” added Henry.

“ That's the danger of falling in love with Henry. Be careful, I will not ya fall in love until like that,” whispered Adrian very slowly. I could only shut up while cursing the two in my heart. Who is in love? Falling in love with who? I've long since fallen for my girl Juli. There's no way I'm in love with someone else.

“Hey, get me a lemon on the fruit table. Get now. Hurry along! Otherwise I'll make sure you get fired!” I saw Pradipta yelling at the waiter. What ? fired? Whoareyou? Just because I took a lemon to fire my employees? Pradipta's pretentious style is pissing me off. But the waiter ran away and came back quickly while looking at Nara. Apparently he pityed Nara's hiccuping state, yet stopped and tormented.

“Hey, relax. Breathe in, hold and then sip this lemon. After that drink. This will help you. Someone taught me this way to cure hiccups. And this is very potent,” said Pradipta on

Nara's. I saw what Nara was going to do. It turned out that the beautiful woman did what Pradipta asked her to do. At that moment Nara's eyes glared. She was remembering her past with her husband. Nara pertinya is experiencing dejavu. But first, he was the one who did this to Pradipta. The person that Pradipta meant in his words was Nada. I saw a smile on Nara's pretty lips. He realized that Pradipta remembered him. Remembering what he did to Pradipta.

“Bos, July is heading to Nara,” the voice of one of my men who I asked to keep Juli buzzing in my ear. Adrian straightened his body. He watches what Juli does and is ready to move if anything happens. Unexpectedly, Juli approaches Pradipta and takes him home, without caring for Nara. He acted as if the beautiful woman did not exist. Then Pradipta and July passed soon after Pradipta said he was leaving, to Nara. He handed the glass and the plate containing the lemon to Nara who just stayed stunned while continuing to hiccup. Her eyes seemed teary to see her husband leave with Juli acting spoiled and affectionate towards Pradipta.

Adrian acted immediately. He made Nara aware of her silence. The handing over of a piece of lemon that Nara received with a sad face. After that Nara gulped down the cold water like she hoped her chest would also become cold and calm. There was a disappointed and aching rsa reflected from his eyes. Once it calmed down, Nara's hiccups disappeared.

Adrian immediately takes Nara to the car to be driven home.
