Friend Bed

Not Knowing Yourself

"Lake in!" replied Nathan.

Slowly the door opened, Kenzo entered the room and saw Nathan standing next to Clarissa. Kenzo then looked at Clarissa and gave her the code to keep the show going. Clarissa nodded her head. While Nathan looked at Kenzo with a sharp gaze.

"How did you know I was here?" nathan asked with emotions that were now starting to seep into his heart.

"It's none of your business how can I find you, I just want to talk to you four-eyes, Brother Nathan," Kenzo replied. Hearing Kenzo's words, Nathan smiled wryly. "You think of me as your brother?"

"Yes, after all you are my brother, my foster brother. We better not talk here, I'd like to have a one-on-one conversation with you, brother."

Nathan nodded his head, then looked at Clarissa. "I'll be gone for a while, I'll be back here again, just relax. I'm not going away from my responsibilities" Nathan said with a nod of his head by Clarissa.

Kenzo then exits Clarissa's nursery, followed by Nathan behind her, and unbeknownst to them, Clarissa follows them with a slight step. They finally arrived at one of the quiet-looking parks located in one corner of the hospital. Kenzo sat down on one of the park benches and Nathan sat down next to him.

"Sister Nathan, I just want to sort things out between us. Om Leo wants our relationship to remain well established without any animosity and hatred between the two of us."

"If you want our relationship to be well-established, you better give in to me, remember Kenzo you have a huge debt of gratitude to both my parents!"

"I know that, Brother Nathan. I know I have a priceless debt of gratitude to Om Leo and Aunt Calista. But sorry, Cleo and I love each other, please understand. We also have a son. You're a very handsome and rich man, brother. Surely out there you can get a much prettier and better woman for yourself than Cleo."

Hearing Kenzo's words, Nathan fell silent. Only the rapid roar of breath began to be heard. "You really messed up my relationship with Cleo, Kenzo! Ever since we were in Paris, we've been engaged but you took Cleo away from me! You really are a man who doesn't know himself, Kenzo! You have taken what is not yours! Who do you think you are? You're just a selfless loser! Who do you think accompanied Cleo when she was feeling down? Who accompanied Cleo when she cried because of you!"

"Sister Nathan, everything that happened was just a misunderstanding, and we've realized our own mistakes!"

"Misunderstanding said? Basic male BREN*SEK!"

"Sister Nathan, no need to pretend, I already know everything you did to Cleo to keep us apart right? You spied on us on purpose, and then you sent us the job application message after Cleo had an argument with Aleta, then you ordered your men to pick up Cleo's cell phone so they couldn't contact her family. After that you became Cleo's neighbor in Paris, and the man who was always beside her to make Cleo sympathize with you, everything you do is indeed very extraordinary, Brother. But you forget, that feeling of love can't be forced."

"YOU BETTER SHUT UP AND DON'T INDISCRIMINATELY ACCUSE ME, BRE*GSEK!"

"I'm sorry Brother Nathan, I'm not just accusing you because I have all the evidence. Brother Nathan, please act more mature and wise. You're older than me, I respect you as my brother, and your parents as my adoptive parents. All of you very meritorious people in my life, please understand our circumstances, Brother."

"Sister Nathan please understand, we're actually married. A few days ago we were married in series. Brother Nathan, I'm sorry. Please forget about Cleo and remove the hatred between us, we better be in a good relationship as two brothers, brother."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY? BROTHER SAID? YOU TOOK CLEO AWAY FROM ME, AND WHAT IS IT WORTH MENTIONING BROTHER? PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THEMSELVES LIKE YOU DESERVE TO DIE, KENZO! MY PARENTS ARE TOO KIND TO HAVE SAVED A HUMAN LIKE YOU WHO DESERVED MORE TO DIE IN THE WOODS WHEN DAD...."

Nathan had no time to continue his words, suddenly a scream was heard.

"NATHAAAAANNNN!" chanted Leo who was now approaching towards them. Leo then stood in front of Nathan then looked at him with a sharp gaze, while Calista stood behind him while stroking his back trying to calm Leo who now looked so angry. Suddenly Leo raised his hand as fast as lightning and threw his hand against Nathan's cheek so hard.

THE PLAAAAAAKKKKKKKKK

Nathan was so surprised to get a sudden slap from Leo. He then held her cheek while looking at Leo with eyes that were now beginning to dew.

"Papa" said Nathan Lirih with trembling lips.

"You've gone too far, Nathan! I just found out that your behavior is so embarrassing! So you've made a scenario for Cleo and Kenzo to separate so you can get closer to Cleo? Didn't you ever tell me that love can never be forced, Nathan!

"But Pa, I was engaged to Cleo by then and she took Cleo away from me, we're engaged to Pa, but this man doesn't know himself to be the one who's throwing a tantrum so Cleo's back at him."

"Don't you say that love can't be forced. Do you think Papa's messing with my own words? Papa's been through what you're feeling right now, Nathan. You were once engaged to a woman, and then she loved another man, right? Papa has felt it too but Papa has never done anything as disgusting as you! As a man you're like there's no pride in him, Nathan!"

"Why is Papa defending a selfless son compared to me who is Papa's son? Whenever I would never want to think of him as my little brother, it was better that Papa didn't have to save that selfless child when his father threw him into the forest!"

"CHATAN!" calista and Leo at the same time.

PLAKKKK PLAKKKK PLAKKKK

Kenzo was just pensive to hear Nathan's words. "My father dumped me in the woods?" kenzo said so softly.
