This afternoon, before picking up Natalie, Nicholas visits a fancy restaurant downtown. He met his old friend, who is now a famous notary in the city.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!" nicholas said as he sat in the VIP seat that he specifically ordered to meet with his best friend.
"It's okay" said Anjeli, Nicholas's best friend. "Just home?"
"Yes, yeah." Nicholas then downed a glass of red-colored drink in front of him.
Anjeli shook his head, "Still like to drink as well it turns out."
"Sometimes."
"Reduce, Nic! you really don't want to fight?"
"Not to fight. But it feels like it's all on the other end. I just have to wait for fate."
Wait!!! what are they talking about?
Anjeli looked at the pity of his friend in front of him. In fact, trillions of treasures do not guarantee a person's happiness. The proof is in front of his eyes.
Nicholas who is estimated never to have trouble financial problems in fact never get peace in his life. His best friend's days were always filled with fear and anxiety.
"So you've brought the files I asked for?" ask Anjeli. Not wanting to discuss the stifling thing, Anjeli immediately diverted his conversation.
"Already" said Nicholas, then he pulled out some documents from his bag. "This is all, right?"
"Hmpp," said Anjeli. "So you're sure you'll give your wife 85% of the company?"
"Yes." Yeah." Nicholas answered her firmly. "The rest went to Reynald. I want him to take care of my mother's care after I'm gone."
Anjeli, who was reading Natalie and Reynald's biodata files, immediately put the files back on the table when his best friend again discussed his death.
"You're still healing, Nic!" he said, "don't believe too much in the words of the doctor. Remember!!! they're not gods. They can't determine when someone will die."
"I'm not going to be more than three months old, An."
Anjeli squeaked his temple dizzy. "OK .. I know you're sick. But that doesn't mean you should give up this early. Where's the Nicholas I used to know?" Anjeli became furious made. The man he used to know was so ambitious that he suddenly became as weak as he was now.
Anjeli even saw Nicholas as having lost his spirit just because doctors diagnosed Nicholas with terminal brain cancer.
Actually Nicholas still had a longer chance if he wanted to do chemotherapy, but the man refused on the grounds that he did not want others to know the disease.
If he follows chemotherapy, it will automatically have an impact on his physical changes, such as hair loss, to cause baldness.
Obviously he didn't want to make those closest to him worry and wonder, let alone Natalie, Nicholas even planned this all out until he was completely gone for good.
He did not want to look pitiful in front of people.
"An, promise me! if someday I really leave, you'll have to protect Natalie from those who intend to take power from her."
Anjeli breathed his frenzied breath. Actually he is lazy to discuss this, because honestly this makes it crowded. "Okay ... What else do I have to do?"
"Please promise, never tell my family about the cause of my death."
"Where is possible, Nic. When a patient dies, the doctor will definitely give the test results of the cause of death of the patient to his family. Your parents and Natalie must know that you've had cancer."
"For that matter, don't worry! ... I've asked my personal doctor to falsify the results of the examination later. Your job is to convince my family and Natalie that the results are real."
Nicholas had already arranged a plan with his personal doctor who had kept his illness a secret from his family. Nicholas plans to stay and stay in the hospital in his final days. So, that way, only the doctor will be sure to handle his death.
Anjeli could not comment much. "OKAY. Anything else?"
Nicholas shook his head. "No.
That's all it is. In essence, my biggest request is only one! protect Natalie! you're the only one I can trust right now."
Anjeli was silent for a while. Since then, Nicholas has shown how valuable a woman named Natalie is. "Do you love that woman so much?" ask Anjeli.
Nicholas nodded his head, without answering. He thought Anjeli already understood what he meant.
"If you really love her, just tell her the truth! tell him if you have cancer. I think Natalie's gonna understand that."
"No, and never will. I won't tell her anything."
"Nic, he deserves to know. If it goes on like this, it's the same as torturing him. Don't you feel sorry for her?"
But she thinks this is better than she had to tell Natalie the truth and make the woman grieve every day for seeing her condition. Nicholas obviously didn't want that to happen.
She wants to leave, Natalie is sad only in the interval of 1 to 3 days, and after that Natalie will forget Nicholas as well as forget the school uniform is small.
"I know I've tortured him. But I think it's better than him knowing the truth."
"But how do you hide your illness when the symptoms recur in front of Natalie?"

"Did Natalie never suspect you?" ask Anjeli.
Nicholas smiles. "Just calm! I always shied away from Natalie when the disease started to contract in my body."
"Then, when you suddenly get emotional? can you hold it?"
This time Nicholas was silent. For this one thing Nicholas is very difficult to control.
"Aish, don't tell me you're being rude to her!"
"Sorry, but for that one I can't control myself."
One of the symptoms caused by brain cancer is a sudden change in attitude, and that's why Nicholas is often very easy to change attitude, sometimes he is very sweet on Natalie, but sometimes it also turns very scary and cruel.
"Ah, yes, that's it. I'll try to take care of these papers soon." Anjeli then tidied up the files in front of him. "But remember my message! you have to stay strong in your life. All humans are created and have the same opportunity, all of them have the opportunity to live in the world only once. Everything will come back in time. So, don't ever assume this is the end of everything."
After advising his best friend, Anjeli also paid to go home because there is business with other clients.
"Well then, I go first!" anjeli said as he patted Nicholas on the shoulder, giving him strength. "Nic, about what I said earlier, don't think too much about it! .. If you don't want to worry Natalie, that's your right. After all, if I were in Natalie's position, I would probably be the happiest woman right now, having a husband like you. I'm proud to have a friend like you."
Nicholas was stunned to hear every inch of his best friend's words, he smiled back at him, "Yes. Be careful, and thank you!"
"Together."
**On this explanation, answer the question why Nicholas always makes Natalie hurt, even though Nicholas's revenge is on his parents.
So, it's been answered, right?
In addition to a grudge against Natalie's family, Nicholas deliberately makes Natalie hate him, so that Natalie is not sad when Nicholas is gone for good.
And for the change of attitude of Nicholas is labile also caused due to the effects of his disease. Sometimes he cannot control his emotions.
Nicholas wants Natalie to hate him, but he also doesn't sincerely see other men approaching the woman. Moreover, the male tang looks no good to Natalie.
Because of all these problems, be a wishful Nicholas, who does not want to treat Natalie like a wife, but also does not accept that there are other men who approach her.
Why did Nicholas get in a relationship with Jennifer?
That's because Nicholas never thought that Natalie would return to her life, as a child of a woman named Nadia.
Other facts will be discussed in the next chapter.
Not dizzy?
Hopefully not yes.
