Rafa also ran after Nabila earlier. The shadow made him wonder who Nabila really was. Is Nabila someone from her past? or does Nabila know about the shadow? or? there are too many questions Rafa thinks about. But now he has to find Nabila first.
"Where'd he go?" Tanya Rafa's. After running far enough, Rafa stops at one of the parks not far from the party, and Rafa looks around trying to find Nabila.
I don't know what's on his mind right now. He just wants to be away from Rafa. Rafa's engagement made her very shaken and scared. He's afraid that he won't have another chance to be with Rafa. He is afraid that Rafa will not remember him anymore and he must forget the painful past itself.
Because he was too busy thinking about Rafa, Nabila did not focus on running and finally he hit someone.
"Aww, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Nabila stroked his head because it collided with the man's back. But he did not see the man and Nabila just apologized while bowing her head because she felt very guilty.
"When.."
Feeling that someone knew him even called his name Nabila raised his head. And saw who it was, and he was very surprised because it turned out that the person he hit was Rafa.
"Rapid..." After seeing who it was, Nabila tried to run because he did not want to appear in front of Rafa. But, Rafa quickly pulled Nabila's hand making Nabila unable to run.
"Wait for Nabila, why are you avoiding me?" Ask Rafa astonished.
When she couldn't say what, she didn't know what to say. Is it time for him to reveal all the truth? and tell me who he really is?
"When..." Turns out it was Randi, he approached Rafa and Nabila.
At the same time Erick came, he was looking for Rafa since then because Rafa arrived lost. Because it's time to inaugurate Rafa's new post.
"Rafa, what are you doing here? everyone is waiting for you. Your father even told people to look for you. Don't you want your job inaugurated? erick hastened to gesa.
And that's when Erick saw Nabila, as well as Nabila he also saw Erick. But, at once he was surprised because Erick was like pretending not to know him.
"Come Rafa, you gotta hurry, everybody's waiting for you." Erick pulls Rafa's hand and takes Rafa away.
Rafa can only follow Erick because it is time for the inauguration of his position. Dining with guests from abroad. He did not want to disappoint them and put his company to shame.
After Rafa left, Nabila was able to breathe freely and was sitting limp on the floor of the park. Seeing Nabila like that, Randi was anxious and asked about Nabila's condition.
"What's going on ? you okay what?" Ask Randi. He helped Nabila stand up and finally they sat in one of the garden chairs nearby.
"Thank you." Nabila looked lethargic and smiled at Randi.
"I saw you running with a scared face. I followed you because I thought something was happening to you." Said Randi.
But Nabila just kept quiet and did not reply to Randi's words. Because he thinks Randi shouldn't have known about his past with Rafa.
"Alright, it's okay if you don't want to tell me now." Randi tries to understand Nabila's feelings.
Nabila saw Randi, and she only realized that Randi was wearing formal clothes with a suit.
"You work here?" Nabila just realized and remembered his conversation with Randi at that time. So, the company that Randi meant at that time was the same company as Rafa.
"Yes, that's why I came to this party. Because this is one of the company's events." Said Randi smiling.
Nabila could only nod and sigh. He wondered why everyone was always near Rafa. Not himself, even Randi works for Rafa. It seems like the world is very small and narrow. And also Erick, he just remembered that he had also seen Erick, but Nabila wondered why he acted as if he would not know Nabila.
"Hey, are you daydreaming?" Asked Randi, He saw Nabila who was just speechless.
"No, I suddenly thought of something." Nabila said with a forced smile.
"Oiya, do you know Rafa?" Ask Randi
"Whhe often visits and buys flowers in my shop. I work for him today too. So, I already know him." Nabila said she lied to Randi.
"Then, that's why he held you back like that." Said Randi curious. Randi was jealous and did not like Rafa to do such a thing to Nabila.
"There he is....." Nabila's speech was cut off because at that time Arina appeared with breath gasping for breath.
"Hey Nabila, where have you been? I've been looking for you where. You suddenly ran away leaving me. You must have Nabila, look I'm so tired of looking for you." Arina sat down next to Nabila
Nabila can only smile and feel guilty hearing all the chatter of Arina. On the other hand, Randi saw Nabila's smile that always made Randi's heart beat fast. Which makes Randi does not want to release Nabila any luck including Rafa.
Flashbacks
The school bell rang, it was a sign that the time to go home school had arrived. All the students seemed very enthusiastic because the lesson was over.
"Hey, Randi, where are you going back to school?" Rafa asked, turning his body to Randi's seat right behind him,
"I'm going straight home, I have to help my mom sell." Said Randi.
"Owhh you're very devoted to your mother. I'm proud to have a friend like you. Then I'll take Erick to play." Rafa goes to Erick's seat and they're both out.
As Randi walked out of the school he saw a girl peeking at the back of the fence while drawing the guy's face on paper.
"You draw someone's face without that person's permission. It seems like it was one evil act." Randi said right behind the girl.
This made the girl surprised and immediately hid the drawing paper backward.
"Who are you?" It turned out to be Nabila. He secretly sees Rafa going home from school. Nabila has always liked Rafa. He drew Rafa's face so he could look at Rafa's face always.
"Hmm, you're not even from our school. You draw people in silence, and without that person's knowledge. Are you a stalker? I have to report you." Said Randi. He immediately went from the front of Nabila and pretended to report Nabila.
"Wait, wait." Nabila tried to block Randi.
"I'm not a stalker, I just want to draw that guy's face. That's not a bad act. You shouldn't just report people." Nabila said annoyed.
Randi passed Nabila just like that, he ignored Nabila and did not care about anything Nabila said.
"Heiiiii you're even just ignoring people, you're being disrespectful." Nabila said annoyed.
"Hmm, I wonder what kind of punishment you would get if I reported you yes." Said Randi with his mischievous smile.
Nabila back to be nice again, he did not want Rafa to know that all this time he secretly Nabila always drew Rafa's face. Rafa can stay away from him, he doesn't want that to happen.
"Well, what do you want?" Tanya Nabila tried to talk and persuade Randi.
Nabila took out one strawberry-flavored candy stalk and gave it to Randi.
"I have no money or anything, take it, I give it for free to you" said Nabila.
"Candy?" Randi does not believe that Nabila gave her a strawberry candy.
"This is no ordinary candy. If you eat it your days will feel very beautiful, you will always smile. And your day will be more cheerful than before, therefore take it." Said Nabila smiling.
"Not to be ashamed, I give this to you for free." Nabila pulled Randi's hand and placed the candy in Randi's palm.
Nabila smiled at Randi, her smile was so cheerful and sweet. Smile as is and like no burden at all.
Randi saw the candy. Then, he also saw Nabila's smile that was so sweet and sincere. This was the first time a girl had smiled at him. Such a small thing caused Randi's heart to melt instantly.
"I love her candy, her smile, and her self." Randi spoke in his heart.
