Forever Young's

CHAPTER IV Misunderstanding

Tanio enters the living room to find Nuna playing with Nino.

"Miss."

Nuna looked up and saw the invitation that was in front of her.

"The Anderson family's having a banquet tomorrow night."

Nuna's eyebrows shot up, "Highly in a hurry?"

Banquet invitations Nuna receives usually have a distance of one week to one month from the event. Because they know that people in the business environment have a busy schedule.

Tanio let Nonanya open the invitation as he explained, "This banquet is to introduce the son of Family Head Anderson Haykal Anderson who just returned from abroad."

Nuna closed the invitation and placed it on the table. "Please call Catlin and Adora for tomorrow's event."

"Good, Miss. I'll prepare it now."

Nino pulls Nuna's shirt.

"What's up, Nino?" ask Nuna gently.

Both of Nino's watery eyes looked at her curiously, "Nino wants to come along."

Nuna rubbed her sister's fine hair. "Later if Nino has grown taller, sister invited Nino, okay?"

This sentence again? Nino pouting. "Nino's already grown two centimeters."

"Well, our Nino is great." Nuna kissed that round cheek. "How about next week I take Nino to the playground?"

Nino seduced, "Okay, promise."

"Promise." The two linked the little finger and stamped the promise seal on the thumb.

◾◾◾

There were already many people when Nuna entered the Anderson Family home. She was wearing an off shoulder long black dress that featured her rounded shoulders, the dress also had an incision on the left side so it displayed her tie legs well.

"Hello, Miss Callista." A man in black clothes came to Nuna who was drinking in the corner of the room.

"Hello, Mr. Jeremy," Nuna replied politely.

"Call me Gio. May I call you, Nuna?"

"certain."

"Came alone Nuna?" Gio opened the conversation.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Still in High School this year?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Twelve class?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Gio rubbed the surface of the glass in his hand. He's getting upset now. What kind of conversation resembles this interrogation? Why didn't this girl ask anything?

"You didn't ask a question?"

Nuna blinked confusedly. "I don't have one."

"Pulse. All right, then excuse me. Nice to meet you, Nuna."

"Yes." Yeah."

After Gio left, Nuna walked to the balcony and rested her elbows on the guardrail. Enjoy the view of the green garden decorated with colorful lights.

Rigel had just come home and he knew the banquet had begun. Therefore, he looked for another entrance into his room to avoid being reprimanded by his parents. Rigel climbed the wall with heart and managed to grab the balcony railing. Both of his eyes were rounded when he saw the girl's face magnified in front of him. His hand accidentally slipped and his body lost balance.

Rigel closed his eyes preparing to fall but his body was restrained and he was pulled forward. Rigel opened his eyes and found the girl's hand clutching his t-shirt. Rigel hurriedly held the balcony railing firmly.

"Inbreathers?" The girl's voice sounded sweet in Rigel's ears.

"No! No!" Rigel answered in panic. "Gue the son of the owner of the house!"

Nuna looked at the suspicious teenage boy in her hand. "really?"

"Yes, I swear!"

Nuna released the teen's shirt.

Rigel breathed a sigh of relief. But suddenly he saw black heels pushing his chest firmly. Rigel stared blankly at the starless night sky as he floated down.

After kicking the alien teenager, Nuna returned indoors enjoying some snacks available at the table. He observed several bodyguards scattered in the room. With so many guards here, they could still be cheated?

The dishes at this banquet were quite good, too bad the security was so bad!

Nuna recalled the appearance of the teenager, hair painted as red as fire, piercing in the ears, a shirt that had a rough texture when she held it, and jeans full of holes. With such an appearance, he thought he could trick her and infiltrate her inside? Where does his courage come from?

"Good night, Mr and Mrs. We apologize to our guests for the absence of our son. We just got word that he's in the hospital. Once again we apologized and resigned in the middle of the event. The dinner will be rescheduled.bPlease for guests to enjoy the dishes and entertainment we provide," said Haykal Anderson, Head of the Anderson Family who stood in the middle of the stairs.

After making the announcement, he took his wife out of the house.

The infirmary? Nuna has a bad feeling, she immediately checks the balcony and finds no trace of the intruder in the garden area. He pondered. That teenager wasn't an intruder?

◾◾◾

In the morning, Nuna had black eye bags on her face. Last night he asked Tanio to look for information regarding the son of the Anderson Family Head. And sure enough the intruder was really their son!

Nuna was a bit skeptical at first. He knew some people from the Anderson branch family. Like actor Theo Anderson, singer Mia Devana, there is also presenter Putri Ayu. Essentially their families have above average looks and wisdom in their personalities.

Nuna did not want to comment on someone's physique. But the appearance of the teenager did not reflect the wisdom of the Anderson Family at all. Especially that bright red hair, Nuna felt the illusion of her eyes hurting when she saw it last night.

But anyway, facts speak loudly. The teenager was indeed the same as the one in the photo on the attachment that Nuna received. Makes her unable to sleep all night because she has kicked their only son.

Nuna finally made up her mind. He applied for permission to go to school and asked Tanio to drive him to the hospital where the teenager was being treated. It's better to apologize now before they hold Grandpa accountable. Anderson's family was very influential in business circles, he didn't want to add to the burden on his grandfather's retired mind.

◾◾◾

As Nuna opened the VIP hospitalization door, the sound of laughter suddenly stopped.

Rigel who was watching the comedy show came to a halt, staring in horror at the visitor who entered his room. He still vividly remembered the black shoes that were pushing his body. "Lo, what are you doing here?" ask her nervously.

Nuna put the fruit she brought on the table. Then he bowed slightly, "I apologize for causing you harm."

Rigel was about to scold the perpetrator for his accident. But his voice was stuck in his throat when he saw clearly the girl's face.

The girl in front of him had a petite face that was probably only the size of her palm, her eyebrows were thick, her eyelashes were long and pliable, both her pupils were as black as ink and her lips were pink in color.

"I'm willing to take responsibility for all medical expenses."

Rigel bent the corner of his mouth. "Gue is not short of money."

"Then how can you forgive me?"

"That's.." Rigel looked at Nuna's pink lips.

Nuna looked at the teenage boy's gaze. He took a step back. "Please don't ask for anything beyond the limit."

"What's beyond the limit?" ask Rigel confused. "Gue just wanted to ask, what brand of lipstick are you?"

"I don't wear lipstick."

"Lo's not lying? Seriously it's a real color?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Silent moment.

Nuna asked, "How about I find a lipstick with this color?"

Rigel waved his hands casually, refusing. "Not to." He was silent - silently pressing the stop button on his phone. The lipstick-related question was the result of losing a bet with his friends so Rigel had to find a girl to ask what brand of lipstick he was wearing.

She is relieved that her task is finally done without knowing that Nuna thinks she has a special hobby.

Did Young Master Anderson like to wear lipstick?

Nuna concluded yes, that's for sure. But this Young Master was embarrassed by his preferences so he did not show any interest anymore.

"Gue I'm sorry, so just calm down. My family won't sue you."

"good. Thank ye. Then I say goodbye. Happy resting. Hopefully it will heal soon," said Nuna then out of the room.

"Well, is that all?" murmured Rigel. At least give him some sincerity by staying here taking care of him for a while, okay? He suddenly felt regret on the girl's face was fake.
