The three of them were now on their way home, dissolving in each other's thoughts. William came home with Robin, as long as he lived in Indonesia, he would stay with his best friend.
While Nico went home alone by driving his car to Villa, the distance between the city to Villa was quite far but he forced himself to go back there.
Though William suggested for him to sleep in his luxury apartment, if not just stay at the hotel so as not to be late tomorrow.
He insisted on going back to Villa only, as there was Reva waiting for him there. After all, if he was still in town fearing his whereabouts and Reva was known by Pramudya, and it would harm them.
He chose to go home alone while the driver had been told to go home first by him, fatigue and drowsiness he held all the way to meet Reva.
His eyes had begun to weigh, the speed of his car began to be unbalanced.
Ckiiits!
His car braked suddenly, for a second he was off guard then a collision would occur. He was very surprised, suddenly the car in front of him was there.
"Woi! You want to die!" the driver in the front car lowered his windshield and shouted angrily.
Nico realizes he made a mistake, then lowers the windshield of his car as well.
"Sorry sir, I was wrong. Sorry, well" he said he felt guilty.
"Sir, I'm not the Father knows! Sleep there first!" the driver of the car shouted.
Then he drove back to the middle of the road leaving Nico still in shock, because he almost had an accident.
"Looks like he's right, I need to rest first. If you can't do any more harm to this," he said sighing heavily.
He chose a rest area not too far from there, ordering a cup of coffee to relieve his drowsiness.
He looked at his phone screen, there were some missed calls from his assistant at Villa. He was astonished, did something happen there until they had to contact him?
"Hello, what's wrong? I'm on my way home, coming soon. What's up?" He said to the assistant.
"Sorry sir, I have to contact you. Because miss.." her assistant hesitated to explain his point.
"Because what? What's wrong with her? Explain, don't beat around the bush?!" emphatically.
"Miss from the morning raging sir, he said he wanted to return to the city. We couldn't grant her request, and now she's locked herself in her room" her assistant said.
Nico sighed, he felt guilty as well leaving Reva alone. He must be bored, Nico thought.
"Well, I'll be home soon" he said.
After finishing his coffee he immediately rushed off towards his Villanya.
from the corner of the parking lot in the rest area, there was someone watching him. He was seen calling someone on his phone.
"Hello sir, I've been watching him from earlier. And now he's again in the rest area around the Villa, how about sir? Am I going to keep following him, because he's leaving soon?" Said the man.
"Don't, he'll be suspicious anyway he's seen your car, today he's here. Tomorrow morning wait for him again in front of the rest area, I'm sure he will pass the song.
Follow him everywhere he goes until he gets back to his villa, I'm sure there's something there. Understood?!" Said someone on the phone.
"Alright sir, I understand" the man said as he hung up.
The man stared at the car Nico drove past him, of course Nico did not know because the man was hiding in the area quite minimal light.
He is the man whose car almost hit Nico, it turns out he was deliberately doing it for Nico to stop for a moment. So that he could more easily follow and direct it.
Nico comes home without knowing anything that he's been followed since last afternoon by strangers.
*
Arriving at the Villa, Nico rushed towards Reva's room. He was very worried about her, hopefully Reva was not angry anymore and wanted to talk to her.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
"Reva, are you asleep? It's me Nico, I just want to see you. If you are sleeping, it is okay.
Reva is not asleep, she is waiting for Nico to come home. There were so many questions he wanted to ask the man.
But he was tired of waiting because he had not come home too, so that this afternoon he had a tantrum to want to go home. Unfortunately the servants there would not allow it.
Hearing no more voices, Reva thought Nico had gone and rested in her room. He pushed his wheelchair slowly, and opened the door cautiously.
She was surprised that the man was still there, smiling at her as she opened the door. Reva was still angry at him, then hurriedly wanted to close the door of his room.
But unfortunately it's been hunted down by Nico's feet. He forced his way into Reva's room and closed the door, holding Reva from her wheelchair to the bed.
"It's night, why are you still awake." Nico said slowly.
"I can't sleep, there are a lot of questions I want to ask. But before, where were you? Why did he come home once a night?
Didn't you say it wouldn't be long this morning? I'm bored waiting for you!" He said while turning his face away.
Nico smiled, he was glad Reva was so considerate of him. She looked Reva in the eye fixedly, making Reva slightly blush.
"Why do you miss me? Sorry, I'm so busy today so much work in the office. Sorry, yeah" said Nico still staring fixedly at him.
"But why did the phone die, so I couldn't reach you" Reva replied.
"You called me from the morning?" Ask Nico.
"Yes, I found another phone in the desk drawer" Reva said, pointing to the dresser drawer in front of her.
Nico was upset why his servants were so careless, that there was HP in the drawer that they didn't know.
"Do you know who Hp is?" Nico asked, Reva shook her head not knowing.
"Other times don't just wear it well, who knows it's the waiter who missed it. Be careful again well" said Nico gently, trying to speak carefully with him. He knew this time Reva's mood was again sensitive.
"Yes, I know. I'm sorry.." said Reva slowly, she felt bad that she might have interrupted Nico's work.
"Don't be lethargic, a smile is better than a frown" said Nico.
Reva smiled again, then started to return many questions in her head. But now that it was late, he decided to ask in the morning instead.
"Yes, you rest first. It's late, I'm gonna wake up in the morning, right? Sana slept well, go back to your room" said Reva with a sweet smile.
Nico is relieved that Reva is no longer angry with him, he returns to his room with a feeling of pleasure. Suddenly he remembered that he had to leave early tomorrow, what else should he say to Reva? The reason is right now.
Given that Reva is a smart kid, it won't be easy to lie to her. This is all he's suspicious about, he should behave appropriately again tomorrow morning.
**
The next morning, Reva had not come out of her room. Nico had already come into his room with a breakfast tray for Reva.
Reva was still sleeping soundly, unaware that someone had slipped into her room. Nico walks to be careful that Reva doesn't wake up, she puts a breakfast tray filled with jam toast, sandwiches and warm milk for Reva.
Not to forget she slipped a sprig of reva's favorite red roses, according to her character. Thorny roses symbolize a bold and strong girl, from a distance looking beautiful and graceful but not easy to approach or touch.
And now that she put a flower without thorns, she did not want her lover to be hurt by the thorns of her flowers. There was also a letter beside him, an apology letter for having to be left again without saying goodbye.
She stared fixedly at Reva's face, the girl slept soundly, her face plain without make up. So naturally beautiful, Nico is falling more and more in love with her.
He exits Reva's room feeling uncertain, he must be strong anyway they must win over Reva's lawsuit or they lay down later.
***
Such is a glimpse back of the journey of Nico and his friends, before they came to the office in the large company owned by Reva's birth mother.
Their efforts were so hard that they wanted to help Reva defend her rights with her other siblings.
