ALL ABOUT REVENGE

THE HAPPY SMILE OF HERO AND NOVI

" ha? Mr Hero? Since when do you follow me sir? Why can you already be here? Not that you're still with Novi." The surprise of Fitri made him ask a lot of questions to Wira.

" I followed you from earlier Fit, why are you so surprised?"

" Eh, sorry sir. I didn't know you were following me. Fortunately, the hand had Mr. Wira. If not, I might have fainted. All I saw was a piece of hand."

" Haha.. Fitri, fitness.. It is possible that this hand moves on its own and can separate from my body. You could have made the joke, yes Fit." The hero laughed out loud.

" I'm not kidding sir, I swear. I just saw a piece of hand. If it suddenly turns into Mr. Wira, I don't know sir."

" Haha.. Are you sleep-deprived? It seems, your delusion is too much."

" But I don't fantasize, sir. I also do not dream. Maybe my mind and heart are in trouble, but my eyes cannot be lied to Sir. I saw it was just a hand."

" Fitri, go home. Me and Mr. Wira let you go home. Rather than here you're talking perfunctorily that makes us dizzy." Novi ketus.

" bs..Well Novi ma'am, forgive me." Said Fitri with a stutter for fear of Novi.

Without looking left-right, Fitri drove his bike fast. His mind was like a lot of pressure.

" Haha, Fitri, Fitri.. I hope he's okay on the street." The hero laughed while looking at Novi.

Novi just smiled normally. He did not like Wira to mention Fitri's name in front of him. Moreover, Wira is almost affected by the temptation of itchy women, such as Fitri.

" Novi, why are you suddenly pouting so?"

" It's okay."

" why? Nothing is hidden from me."

" I'm sorry sir, it's almost noon. Time to work."

" Novi. ah, that's it. Please prepare your work." Wira intends to ask Novi's feelings to him. But the hero is reluctant to ask.

" Good Mr. Wira." Novi said, then went into his office.

Until 11:00, Wira restaurant has made a lot of progress. Visitors increasingly meet the visitor's seat. Even the extra seats on the restaurant grounds are full. Due to Fitri's return permit, the restaurant experienced a lack of manpower. Wira and Novi work hand in hand to help serve guests.

" Novie, why are so many visitors coming to our place? We're so overwhelmed. I haven't even enlarged our restaurant yet. Is this the work of Wijaya? He used to tell me, enlarge your restaurant, someday I will bring my friends here. Did he keep his word?"

" Emh, of course not sir. Wijaya is just a stale base. I don't think he's a good person. You should be careful being friends with him."

" Now, what do you know about Wijaya? You cannot be prejudiced against him. Even so, he was my best friend back in school."

" Can you guarantee that he won't change sir? Nowadays, friends can be enemies. The enemy can be a brother. So, we have to be more thorough in judging people."

" You're right Nov, but I guess, there's no reason, we're prejudiced against him. We don't have any evidence."

" That's what we have to investigate. Better think badly about it, postpone it first. There's still time to find out who Wijaya really is."

" Who did this Nov? Look, many of our visitors' cars are labeled vehicle numbers from outside the area. Someone must be promoting our restaurant to various corners."

" Surely there's a good man who's always there, helping you sir."

" Yes, it might be Nov. But who is he? I'm curious."

" Oh sir, you don't have to think about that. Someday, we'll know who's helping us."

" Nov, I suspect you did it."

" ha? That is impossible sir. I don't know about that." Novi is shocked when Wira suspects him.

" Honestly Nov, I never taught you lies, not even lies about good. Once you lie, another lie will arise. I hope you don't do it, even if you're lying, just to cover up so as not to look arrogant."

Novi. He was confused as to what he should say. Novi did not want his efforts to promote the Wira restaurant, known by Wira. But he was afraid of the words of the Hero about the lies he always heard as a child.

" Novi, what other merit do you want to give me? I have told you before, already. I'm not asking for any kind of compensation. I just want you to stay with me. You are my family Nov. I don't consider you someone else, a foster child, or anything like that. You're more than that to me Nov."

" What does it mean sir? What's more than that? All this time, Mr Wira thinks of me what?"

The Heart of the Hero thumped, he wanted to say it frankly. His words seemed to be stuck in his throat.

" Why keep quiet sir? Tell me the truth. Whatever you say, I'll take it. Hopefully I can give you peace in my life."

" Hemmhs.. All right Nov, I'll tell you the truth.

When I found you, I thought of you as a poor little boy, who lost both parents.

Since I don't know, whether you have a family or not, I decided to take you home.

There, I treat you like my own son. Because you're the same age as my late first child.

When you grow up, I start to get interested in you. To the extent that I want to vent my lust for too long restrained, I want to make love to you. I saw you when you fell asleep, your body is so beautiful. Especially when you only wear a short skirt, and a t-shirt that when you sleep, the back is pulled up, to look your white back. Fortunately, I can still hold it.

I don't know why you've always liked short skirts and tight shirts. We are not children and biological parents. If I reach Khilaf, maybe from a long time ago, I've ruined you Nov.

To avoid that, I intend to send you to a faraway place that I cannot stop by. That way I can't see you, and think shit about you.

But when you graduate school, you go home. Habits that you can't forget, stir up my soul. I'm almost crazy to hold my nafs.

Until I thought of sending you to a faraway place. Finally after a long time without meeting, I can control my lust perfectly. I can eliminate my habit of drinking, gambling, to women's affairs. I stopped completely eliminating that bad habit.

And by the time you graduated from college, I felt different about you. Who used to want to ruin you, I want to always protect you and take care of you. Teaching you martial arts, is one of my efforts to protect you, when I'm not around.

But over time, the effort I gave, did not make you melt. Though I was anxious, the attention I gave all this time got a huge reply. That is, you expressed your heart's desire to marry me. But I was wrong, it was the silliest delusion I've ever had in my mind."

" So that was it, Mr Wira wanted to desecrate me?"

Hero nodded. He was actually very embarrassed to tell Novi. But he must be self-aware, he always tells Novi to always speak honestly. Therefore, the Hero is telling the truth so as not to just talk empty.

" Thank God, you didn't do it to me. If that happens, I'll never forgive you for anything."

" Luckily, I didn't do anything with you Nov. Your chastity is still awake."

" Mister Wira, look at me. What's interesting with me so you want me?"

" A, Nov.. You asked me that question too soon." The hero becomes nervous.

" Why is it, sir? I'm just asking, and you'll just have to answer." Novi was a little irritated.

" Novie, you're beautiful. But your beauty is different from the others. You look like Wijaya's son, but you look more mature than he is."

" So just because it's pretty? Sorry sir, beauty is just a trait. The nature of this world will be eternal. As you get older, the beauty will fade."

" No Nov, that's not all. I underline. Your kindness, politeness, and bravery that I like.

" Congratulations Sir, you are able to control your passions. Until I can be completely protected. To this day the sanctity within me is still protected. In return, from now on, what you want from me, I'll try to give it to you."

" Certainly, Nov?" The hero feels excited.

" Hey.." Novi nodded with a smile.

" What if I ask for your heart and make you my wife, you want to?"

Novi smiled and nodded. And hope his decision to marry Wira is the right decision. Until it gives him happiness.

The hero smiled happily, he hugged Novi and kissed his forehead. Now two people who have lived together together at home, not as a father and son anymore, but as a future husband and wife.
