If the Heart Has Chosen

III.

Rey who already knew where Nesa worked, the next day she waited for Nesa to come home from work, she was waiting in front of the office where Nesa worked, of course she invited Fara. Just as their detectives act as if they are looking for a suspect from a case that is being solved, Fara scouts the office building using small binoculars hanging around her neck, rey was monitoring the surroundings to see the situation in action.

"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have done this shameful thing" Fara said.

"It's not like you've got no shame" Rey mocked.

"At least I've never been this close,"

"I never thought he would work for Papa's company, either,"

"If you get caught, you die young man,"

"I know,"

After a long wait, the one they were waiting for finally appeared, with grace Nesa walked out of the office building and walked towards her car. Rey who was not far from Nesa's car immediately came out and a little run and without the permission of the owner of the car Rey directly entered it.

"You!" surprised Nesa.

"Hello Brother, hehe," greeted Rey with a whim.

"Bikin' shocked, that's all,"

"Sorry, the end must be hasty,"

"Why?"

"Because it's Papa's company,"

Nesa who still did not understand just silence and did not want to ask, she immediately drove her vehicle to split the city streets that were jammed at work.

And since then, Rey has been doing the same things more and more, waiting for Nesa to come home from work, accidentally meeting her or indeed Rey who makes it seem like it was an accident, just like a stalker Rey can do anything she wants to do to get to meet Nesa.

Surprised Nesa deliberately waits for Rey to ask this because she believes the child will definitely appear before her, because he felt strange about his meetings that seemed to be deliberately made by girls who were younger than him.

"Halo Kak Nesa," and sure enough Rey's voice greeted Nesa who was sitting enjoying her meal.

"Hhmm, sit down" said Nesa.

"Sister, just before going into this restaurant I saw Briana go into that place" Rey said somewhat scared.

Nesa stopped bribing her food and frowned in surprise, did Briana say she was not feeling well so she could not accompany her to dinner but instead went for a walk.

Briana, is the lover of Nesa, from where Rey knows which of course from the results she stalked and pretended to accidentally meet Nesa who was with Briana at the time but Nesa introduced Briana as her best friend, don't blame Rey's intelligent brain for being able to deduce on her own that Briana is Nesa's boyfriend.

"Don't lie,"

"Do what you lie to me, not to know, no" Rey said.

"Then get me there,"

"Come,"

Both of them rushed out of the restaurant to the place shown by Rey.

Nesa frowned again, they would enter a clothing store with a famous brand, but still follow where Rey would take her. The two walked around the clothing store to look for Briana's whereabouts, when about to walk past one of the clothes racks, Nesa heard a voice that she was so familiar with, Nesa stops and will walk to where Briana is, but Rey quickly restrains her movements, causing Nesa to look at her questioningly.

"Listen to it," Rey's command changed her expression to cold, leaving Nesa stunned for the first time to see Rey's cold expression.

Nesa finally complied, he positioned himself to be closer to Briana's position, after it was felt enough he also sharpened his sense of hearing. And what she heard from all of Briana's conversations with someone made her a little shaken, Briana called out to that person affectionately even that person was so spoiled to Briana, the same if he is with his girlfriend.

Rey who saw the expression of Nesa's face that looks sad and hurt ventured to hold her hand, channeling her strength and telling her if there is a fear not.

Rey took the initiative to open a few piles and display clothes that were hung to peek at the person behind it as soon as Rey widened her eyes in surprise, The curious Nesa took a peek and how surprised she was to see Briana kissing the lips of a woman other than her.

Nesa who returned to want to hit the two was arrested by Rey.

"Why!" nesa asked quietly but full of decisiveness and anger.

"It's a public place don't make a fuss,"

"But that...,"

"I know, but there's another way,"

"What?"

"Before this, Briana said what to Sister?"

"He said he wasn't feeling well,"

"Call him, make him feel like he's getting a surprise,"

The savvy Nesa immediately pulled out her phone from the bag and contacted Briana, without waiting for the phone to be answered.

"How are you doing?" nesa asked Briana with her voice held back so as not to feel angry.

"Slightly improved,"

"Where are you?"

"I'm at home, of course, and I'm not feeling well anymore,"

"If you lie a little to be smart, we are in the same room, with the same song, but with different circumstances, if you're not feeling well sleep at home don't even kiss another woman at the dress store,"

"Where are you?"

"Don't know where I am, it's enough for me to see everything, and now we're done here,"

Without waiting for a reply from Briana, Nesa turned off her phone call and hurriedly walked out of the store and quickly held back her tears towards the parking lot where her car was. Rey still faithfully follows from behind because she is worried about Nesa's current condition.

When Nesa was about to re-enter her car, she was arrested by Rey.

"What do you want?"

"Where's the key,"

"For what?"

"I don't want to see tomorrow's news on tv or in the newspaper, Brother is on the front page and that's sad news,"

Inevitably Nesa gave up her car keys, because her brain can still be used to think realistically if now the situation is not okay.

Throughout the journey of the two men was just silent, no one started the conversation, Nesa realized that now Rey drove the car not towards her home, but Nesa did not care, Nesa did not care, all he needed right now was to calm his mind.

Shortly after the car they were driving stopped at a large building but looked deserted, Rey asked Nesa to get out of the car and follow her. Nesa was surprised that Rey easily opened the door and even entered it quietly without fear even now they entered the building on the second floor.

"Come brother," Rey asked Nesa.

Nesa simply complied, stepping her feet into a room that was quite spacious and new, even the furniture was still covered with white cloth. Slowly Rey opened the white cloth that covered the black sofa and cleaned it so that no dust stuck.

"Sit down, I'll make you something,"

After saying the sentence Rey moved away leaving Nesa alone in the room, the dim light from the lamp in the corner of the room added to the gloomy atmosphere of the room making him slightly shudder in horror.

A few minutes later Rey returned with both hands carrying a cup that was still puffing smoke.

"Drink hopefully with this sister will be more delicious," Rey held out a cup that turned out to be hot chocolate for Nesa.

"What's Rey's place?" nesa asked after gulping down a bit of her drink.

"Cafe, cafe is mine" Rey replied.

"Oh,"

Both of them were silent again with their thoughts, Rey walked up to the window that was still closed with curtains, she opened the curtain a little to see the night view.

Behind Rey, Nesa silently watched the tomboy standing quietly, in Nesa's eyes the tomboy girl tonight was a little different, she was more silent, more silent, didn't say much like last day when I met him. Nesa looked closely at the girl, Rey looked charming when she was silent, her eyes were so sharp and washed away, Nesa secretly laughed softly without Rey noticing, Nesa managed to laugh at her own mind that felt she was beginning to admire the tomboy girl in front of her when she was heartbroken.

"I'm not interested" replied Rey.

"Why?"

"Just don't want to,"

"Then this cafe?"

"My dreams and my desires,"

Back silence.

"There is a price to redeem the dream and there are sacrifices to make up for the desire" Rey said in a sad tone but stern.

Nesa stood up and walked over to Rey who was still loyal to her position, Nesa stood opposite Rey and leaned her body against the window, looking closely at the tomboyish girl's facial expression.

"For a long time, Papa told me to follow him to run the company, but I don't want to, I prefer my own world and this is my world too because of something I can't obey Papa's will, Papa was against my will, but I didn't give up, and this is now,"

"Where did you get the money to build all this?"

"My late grandfather left me a special savings for me without the knowledge of other people including my parents, the savings I could use to build 20 cafes directly and simultaneously also greater than this,"

"Oh,"

To be honest Nesa was very surprised to hear the girl's honesty about where her money came from and was only able to say the word.

"But I don't want to be greedy, I want to start from zero,"

"And I want to create my own future and prepare all these things for the people I love later,"

Nesa was stunned, how could the young girl who had just sat on the High School bench have high thoughts even been designing her own future.

Nesa's body stiffened, Rey hugged her suddenly, Nesa who was still lulled with her daydream was not ready to receive a hug from Rey.

"Don't be sad anymore, there I am, I won't let you be sad, trust me,"

"I'm always around you, looking at you from a distance, enjoying your smile from a distance you don't know, you know, how tormented I am, having to do things I never did to get close to you,"

"I like you, Nesa, more than that, don't ask me how sure I am of the feelings I have, I'm sure even if you think I'm just playing games because I'm too young,"

"Give me one chance to prove it, trust me Nesa I'll prove it, will you?"

Nesa did not know what to say, but her heart and mind worked quickly and thought that the child was not playing games, and in the end was just a nod he could give.

Maybe this looks so crazy, Nesa has just broken up with her boyfriend but she accepts the presence of others to enter her life, Nesa doesn't care about that, hearing the words spoken by the boy warmed his heart, a word so resolute that he decided to agree with the tomboy girl's request.

"Sleep, you need to rest," Rey asked while she kissed Nesa on the forehead.

"My company?"

"All right,"

*****

Three months later, the relationship between the two is getting better, Nesa's feelings begin to grow on Rey, making the tomboy girl happier plus the business that was run began to be opened according to plan.

That night Nesa is waiting for Rey's arrival at her home with Fara, Nesa invites Fara to dinner at her home with Rey's approval.

"So, if Rey hasn't come yet, just said it's been on the way from 2 hours ago, did she drive her car backwards well,"

"Ngaco, where can drive the motor backwards,"

"Yes, perhaps, brother, people are not up to it,"

"Say he has business with his father, you are patient, still strong hungry, right,"

"Strengthen, the cake has run out of time setoples not strong laper,"

Fara fell silent, thinking that if Rey was dealing with her Papa something would happen, as soon as her eyes widened she recalled what Rey said a while ago and Fara prayed in her heart that Rey would not do it.

Three hours passed but Rey never arrived, the night was getting late, secretly Fara opened her phone and told her parents if she would not come home tonight, his gut says it's not going to be okay. Nesa also began to worry that Rey did not usually disappear in the clock without preaching it, even as busy as he always tried to give him news, even though at that time he was bokerpun he would be informed Nesa.

Nesa had contacted Rey several times but her number was always inactive, making Nesa even more anxious.

After three and a half hours of waiting, the roar of the car that was so known by Nesa entered the yard of his house, Nesa and Fara immediately ran towards the main door, but once the door opened the two girls saw the scene behind the door made them surprised.

"REYS!" both hysterically called out that one name.

"What's going on?" panic Nesa.

"Bring in first, sister," asked Fara while helping to wrap Rey's body and sit her on the sofa.

"Darling, what's going on? why is this so?" panic Nesa.

Rey smiled and then glanced at Fara who stood beside her with her chest clasped, her gaze fierce but did not hide the worry in the look of her eyes.

"I'm coming out, I admit I'm a lesbian to my parents,"

"For what dear, what are you doing it for," Nesa was already unable to stem her tears.

"For us, I did it for us, but I'm sorry I couldn't name your identity as my lover, this I did to protect you from my Papa,"

Nesa was just crying, she did not expect that this tomboyish girl would make such a huge sacrifice for her.

"And Uncle beat you up" said Fara.

"Of course Fara, hahahahaha,"

Fara screeched and headed to the kitchen to look for P3K and a basin filled with clean water to clean up the wounds on Rey's body.

Nesa who was beginning to calm down she looked at Rey clingy, I don't know who started their lips clinging to one, Fara who saw it grew furious and annoyed.

"At least, if you want to pervert let guests go home first," Fara said.

Nesa who was aware of his behavior immediately distanced her body from Rey's body with a reddened face, while Rey was holding back upset because her pleasure was disturbed.

"That's for Rey, huh?" point Nesa at the basin filled with water on the table and a small towel.

"Yes, you clean brother, I'm bored" replied Fara.

"The rancid child," said Rey.

Fara retorted by sticking out her tongue and focusing on the phone in her hand that featured a pabji game.

"Oh baby slow down, sick," Rey scolded.

"It's slow to know,"

"Press the kak, let's not tuman,"

"Diem you, Arrrrrgggg....,"

Nesa deliberately pressed down on Rey's wound strongly, making Fara laugh out loud, while Rey grimaced in pain.

"Diem, don't take it!" namel Nesa.

Instantly the atmosphere calmed down.

It all starts tonight and the fight won't stop here.

End Flashback.
