Elsewhere, a man still wearing his suit, was still sound asleep next to a patient who had not been conscious.
"Darling, it's noon. Wake up! today let Mama take care of your mother. You go home!" Kelly's soft words while rubbing Nicholas' hand.
"Ah, Mama." Nicholas tried to open his eyes that were still sleepy because he could not sleep all night, waiting for the woman he loved so much to regain consciousness.
"Go home! Reynald's outside waiting for you."
"No, ma. Nicho males is back. I'm here to nemenin' mom." Nicholas walked to the bathroom to wash his face.
"Honey, you also have to pay attention to your health. Don't be rich! ... Mama doesn't want you to be sick." Kelly said firmly.
"Yes, Ma. Nicho can take care of his health." Nicholas after returning from the bathroom.
"Yaudah, if so you go home now! please. This time, it's what Mama said." Kelly put on a pleading face.
"Ma, but I'm lazy to go home to rum_."
"To the apartment, if you are going home." Cut Kelly. He was already convinced that his son's answer would be like that.
"All right," Nicholas relented. He was indeed the least able to argue with the woman who had adopted him since childhood.
"Well, that's dong. Yaudah, I'll have Jennifer nemenin you today."
"No need, Ma."
Hearing Jennifer's words, I don't know why Nicholas is so lazy. He really wants total abstinence today. No one can bother him, whoever it is, Jennifer even as her lover.
"Uda, gpp. Let's not be lonely."
"There's Reynald, Ma. He can get me." Sergei Nicholas.
"Nicho, he's a guy."
"Who said she was a girl?" Said Nicholas while picking up the phone he put on the nightstand.
Nicholas kissed Merry's forehead for a few seconds. Giving warmth and expression of longing that he had always wanted to express directly with his lips.
Cepet's healed, Mom. I go home first!
"I'll go home first, Ma. Titip Mom! and please let me know as soon as anything happens with Mom!"
"Hmpp .. okay," Kelly received a hug from Nicholas and escorted the now-greatly grown boy.
"Be careful honey!"
"Yes, Ma." Nicholas waved his hand before he actually left with Reynald splitting the streets of the city that had begun to be quiet because it had entered the office hours.
Throughout the car trip, Nicholas' feelings were constantly on the woman he had treated harshly last night. He looked at his hand. The hand that was already firmly slapping the face of the woman who had never even sinned against him.
A second later Nicholas shed his tears. Why would he do that? why would he hurt a woman who used to be an angel in his life.
Do you remember in the previous episode, there was a student who helped Nicholas when his classmates were working on him? Yes, that student is Natalie. Natalie Watson's. The woman who is currently Nicholas' wife. The woman Nicholas had loved for a long time. The woman who suddenly comes after a dozen years apart because of Nicholas who goes with his adoptive parents.
The Flashback
"*This is yours, don't be afraid. Take it!"
"Thank you,"
"Either. Next time they're naughty, fight it! They were originally whiny kok*."
Since that first meeting, Nicholas never forgot the first smile he got from the student he finally knew named Natalie. Nicholas even often stole the opportunity to see Natalie during the hours of sports lessons. Usually the class that gets hours of sports lessons will warm up on the main court, and that's when Nicholas will pretend permission to go to the toilet just to be able to see his guardian angel, Natalie.
Time goes on and on, fate finally forces Nicholas to sincerely part with his angel because he has to transfer schools to the place where he was raised by his foster parents, and of course in a new, more luxurious school, in accordance with the economy of his new family.
But who would have thought, the love that had been separated for so long finally met again when Natalie applied for a job at the place where Nicholas served as CEO. This opportunity is certainly not wasted, Nicholas immediately accepted the woman without passing a strict test like the others.
Nicholas was really happy to be reunited with his guardian angel. Amidst the grief of her ailing mother, her days are back in color after Natalie's presence. But who would have thought? a very unwanted coincidence Nicholas happened. After researching the origin of the family of his helper woman, it turns out he is the son of a woman who has made his mother sick to this day.
The painful reality that Nicholas knew after seeing the post on Natalie's personal account. Natalie posted a photo of her childhood with her parents. And that's where Nicholas finds out that Natalie is the daughter of the woman he hates so much.
"So, this is impossible."
Flashback Off
"Rilan." Call Nicholas to his personal driver.
"Yes, Sir."
"How's Natalie doing?"
"Helena gave me information that Miss Natalie left for work early in the morning." Answer Reynald.
It's okay, I deserve to be hated.
I'm sorry, Natalie. I-i'm sorry!
"Master, can I ask you something?"
Reynald's question unravels Nicholas' daydreams.
"Sure, please!" Nicholas replied while trying to hold back his tears from escaping back.
"If one day your Mother will recover, will you forgive Miss Natalie's parents' mistakes."
Nicholas stared at Reynald's face behind his rearview mirror.
"I'm sorry if my question seems presumptuous. If you're not willing to answer, I'm not forcing."
That's what I'm really looking forward to, Reynald.
I want my mother to be healed.
That way, I can release Natalie from this hell.
"It's okay, Reynald. I did plan on forgiving Natalie's family if my mother recovered as she was."
"Thank God."
Reynald was a little relieved. At least there is still a chance for the innocent woman to survive this crazy drama.
"But that's impossible." Nicholas said surprisingly.
"Well, you mean sir?"
"the doctor has warned my mother will not be able to recover as usual. The disease lodged in my mother's body is no longer curable."
Reynald stared in wonder at Nicholas behind his rearview. "Master, didn't you say that the doctor is not God. So why do you suddenly become psymist like this?"
"No, Reynald. This is not psymis. I'm just trying to accept the fact that my mom won't be able to remember me as her son." Nicholas threw his face towards the window. The pain suddenly spread throughout his body. The fact that his mother is indeed unlikely to be able to return to health as usual.
"But so far Mother Master has fought very well for Mister."
"Reynald, even if he had survived to this point, it was possible that he had not been relieved that he had not seen his enemy completely fall."
"Ah, like that yeah." Reynald nodded his head as if to understand, "but I hope that an impossibility becomes a reality sir."
"Yes, hopefully."
In the middle of the conversation suddenly Nicholas wanted to stop by the office first. He'd love to see Natalie's face this afternoon. Guilt in the woman continues to spread throughout her heart. Reynald gladly escorted Nicholas into the office without knowing the main purpose of Nicholas coming to the office. But not until they are in the office parking lot, Nicholas saw Natalie with his friend who is none other than Eliza. They were having lunch at a cafe not too far from the office.
Nicholas saw Natalie and her friend laughing while enjoying a drink in his hand.
It seems Natalie is very happy with her friend.
Could it be that he had completely forgotten about last night's events, or that he was just pretending to be happy in front of his friend.
A few seconds long Nicholas looked at the beautiful face of the woman he wasted, but a few seconds later his smile suddenly faded when a man came to join the two women.
"Reynald, isn't that Kevin?"
Reynald followed Nicholas' gaze. He frowned trying to see in detail who the man sitting next to Natalie was.
"Yes, Sir. Right, it's Kevin."
Nicholas clenched his teeth. Why didn't Natalie press her request to stay away from the man. How dare he get close to that man.
"Why is Natalie still in touch with that guy?" Nicholas exasperated, "I'll take the woman home."
Just as Nicholas opens the car door and plans to bring Natalie home, Nicholas suddenly remembers that he is no better than Kevin.
"Why, Master?" Reynald asked confusedly, "didn't you say you'd take Miss Natalie home."
"Ah, not Reynald. Let's just go home!"
Nicholas shuts the door again, asking Reynald to cancel his request to the office. After all, the main purpose of him coming to the office was only to find out the state of the woman. Seeing that he is doing well, Nicholas chooses to give Natalie a chance to get together with her friends, including Kevin. He won't be angry even if Natalie meets Kevin, because he's trying to figure himself out.
Natalie has really made a personal Nicholas assertive to be full of indecision.
You really make me feel tormented, Natalie.
