Addiction to Mother Step

Stuffy

Inevitably, like dislikes, Nio finally resigned and allowed Sonia to join dinner with her family as requested by Rudy.

"Nio, you go with Sonia yeah,"

Nio who heard that suddenly glanced for a moment towards Rena who at that time still continued to look indifferent to him. It was enough to invite disappointment and make him quite upset, until finally he agreed to his papa's request.

"Well pa." Said slowly.

"Come on Sonia," Invite him who then immediately stepped first to get out of the house.

Sonia smiled and glanced back at Rudy and Rena.

"Thank you so much, aunt." His words which then directly followed Nio with excited steps.

Nio and Sonia went first to a restaurant where it was determined, along the way Nio was quiet, a lot, because at that time the contents of his head were filled with question marks about Rena's tough and rude attitude to him.

"Nio," call Sonia gently.

"Hmm???" Nio replied without looking at Sonia.

"Nio, earlier I apologized yes if you feel my presence is not right. But my original intention was really just to return your ATM card. I didn't expect that there was your papa back home and he wanted to meet me and even invite me to join you for dinner." It was clear that Sonia had re-started the charade to look good in front of Nio.

"It's okay, Sonia, I should thank you. So, just think of this as my thanks too." Nio replied with a thin smile, but very visibly uninspired.

"And the problem was, at the beer house, I'm sorry too, maybe I was so because of the effects of alcohol, I'm sorry."

"It's okay."

"I promise you, it won't change our status, we're still friends, right?" Ask Sonia again.

"Yes Soniaa, stop! Aren't you tired of apologizing?" Nio also chuckled softly.

"Hehehe yes sorry."

"More." Nio again grunted softly.

"Hehehe yes, yes no more."

Arriving at the restaurant, Nio was immediately directed by a waiters to a chair that had previously been booked by Rudy. Before long Rudy and Rena were seen appearing and joining them.

Dinner went by properly, there were many kinds of menus they ordered, and none of them seemed to disappoint.

"Nio, now tell me, do you have any other female friends besides Sonia right now?" Rudy asked shortly after they finished eating dinner.

"Of course there are, but I think that right now only Sonia is with me the most."

"Dear you, there's already a woman you like, don't you intend to introduce that woman to papa?" Ask Rudy again.

It immediately made Nio who was sipping his drink, immediately became choked until coughing.

"Uhhukk, uhhukk."

"Nio, are you ok??" Ask Sonia who seems a little anxious.

Then quickly Sonia grabbed a piece of tissue and wanted to wipe Nio's lips, but Nio dodged it subtly.

"Thank you Sonia, let me just wipe it myself." Said slowly.

Nio immediately glanced at Rena who at that time also looked a little nervous and just kept his head down while devouring the dessert.

"Why are you suddenly interested in discussing this??" Tenya Nio looked a little surprised.

"Nothing, it's just that papa really wants to see you have a partner, because all this time even papa never saw you in a relationship with a woman. Aren't we??"

"No pa!" Nio Strictly.

"No??? What do you mean by no??"

"I can't introduce him to papa right now,"

"Why?? It seems your relationship is not going well. Hmm papa's advice, just end the relationship that will only make you hurt and disappointed, if you feel you are just struggling in your relationship, then stop it, obviously the woman does not want you too much." Reveal Rudy calmly.

"Is he really that??? I'll make sure later." Answer Nio slowly.

"Why did you choose something so complicated when in front of your eyes there was already a beautiful woman waiting for you."

"I mean papa??" Nio's forehead immediately scrunched his forehead.

Rudy did not reply, he just smiled at Sonia who at that time also looked a little blushed.

"What do you mean, Sonia???" Ask Nio again.

Rudy nodded too.

"A hahaa." Nio also chuckled softly.

"No pa, me and Sonia are just friends."

"Yes, I told you before we were just friends." Added Sonia who returned to acting as if she did not want that in front of Nio.

"It doesn't matter if it starts with a friend." Rudy replied calmly.

At that time Rena was still silent, enduring the pain in her heart, and holding back her tears from dripping back.

"Learn to like Sonia Nio, you look a great fit." Add Rudy again who then sipped calmly again his drink.

Nio fell silent again, again continuing to glance at Rena who seemed without any response with Rudy's statement.

"He even looks so calm, as if nothing ever happened between us, what is it with you Rena?? Is it true that you don't want me too much? So far, it seems that I'm the only one fighting for this relationship to work well." Nio murmured in the heart.

After dinner, Rudy asks Nio to drive Sonia home, and again Nio agrees, considering that Sonia is willing to come just to deliver her debit card.

It again made Rena's chest increasingly tight, but still he could not do anything but just silence.

"Rena, you've been quiet since. What's up?" Rudy asked as they were on their way home.

"Oh no nothing, I just feel a little unwell."

"Do we need to go to the hospital?"

"Ah no need, I just need to rest."

"Hmm well, don't forget to take your vitamins and get some rest when you get home."

"Yes, um." Rena nodded and smiled faintly.

"But Rena can we discuss about one thing."

"Of course, mas,"

"Rena, I really like Sonia."

Hearing that, Rena's forehead suddenly frowned with an unusual facial expression.

"Owh haha I mean, I really like him and would love him to be a partner to Nio. What say??"

"Owhh, hmm I think, we should ask Nio mas directly, lest this desire be made to feel depressed, I don't want him to grow further away from you, you've started getting along again now."

"Yes, you're right, me and Nio aren't as tenuous as they used to be, that's pretty good for me. But, still I really want Nio to marry Sonia, and soon she'll graduate from college." Tell Rudy again.

"Ki, we can ask him first directly to Nio, then we can decide."

"Yes, I'll talk to the boy later, hopefully open my heart."

Rena just nodded, then looked back at the window glass, holding back the tightness that felt more and more rounded.

"Truely, this relationship is indeed too difficult to succeed, there is absolutely no hope, there is only disappointment that if lived longer, then the disappointment and pain will be even more painful." Mumbled Rena in the heart.

...Seriate......
