It Turns out I'm the Second

Ch.20 Cold Husband

At exactly 5 pm, Gathan's car driven by Erwin entered the yard of the house. Gathan got down from the car and saw Nanda standing in front of the house with a smile of his cheer. As usual, Gathan was flat and indifferent, but Nanda kept smiling.

"Good afternoon, sir." said Nanda, then he grabbed Gathan's hand and kissed him. Gathan just let it go what Nanda wanted to do. Nanda also thrust his hand to take Gathan's bag. "Let me just bring the bag, sir." said Nanda again. Gathan held out his bag and Nanda grabbed it with a cheerful heart. At least, although Gathan was cold, but he did not refuse what he wanted to do.

'Basic, cold husband!'

Nanda stroked his feet while smacking a smile walking in front of Gathan. Suddenly he remembered, he did not know where to put his bag, then he turned his body to make Gathan who was walking behind him hit him until staggered back.

"Aafr ... " Nanda closed his eyes thinking he was going to fall, but by the count of three he felt nothing to make him open his eyes. There was only a twist on his waist that he felt. Then slowly Nanda opened her eyes. Instantly his body stiffened as he felt Gathan's breath hit his face. Moreover, Gathan's hand wrapped around his waist made him misbehave.

"Eh .. em .. ma-af, sir. I didn't mean it." great-granddaughter Nanda as she squirmed her body to escape from the winding of Gathan's hand.

Gathan who realized Nanda was uncomfortable then let go of his hand and re-establish his body.

"If you want to stop or spin it look around! If it falls how." sizzled Gathan with his flat face.

Nanda just looked down embarrassed and scared.

"I-iya, sir. Excuse me. I ... I just want to ask the bag Nanda should put where?" ask Nanda nervously.

Without a word, Gathan steps into a room on the top floor, opposite Nanda's room. Nanda followed as Gathan opened the gray-dominated room and headed straight for his desk. As Gathan flipped his body, he did not find Nanda making him frown.

"Why are you just standing there?" gathan asked curiously when he saw Nanda standing at the door.

"I'm coming in, sir?" parrot Nanda made Gathan shake his head.

"Follow me!" say it without further ado.

'Basic, flat husband!'

"Put my bag there." point Gathan at his desk. Nanda then put the bag on Gathan's desk at his command. Gathan was sitting on the couch not far from his desk.

After putting the bag down, Nanda flips over and excuses him, but Gathan stops him.

"Hey, you .. "call Gathan to make Nanda pout because Gathan seemed reluctant to remember his name.

"Yes, sir! Can I help you?" tawar Nanda while bending his body. Gathan frowned when he saw Nanda's behavior.

"You .. I want to ask you something. Actually I want to ask this from yesterday, but not yet had time" said Gathan paused. "You ... did you ask for a dowry set of prayer tools? Or was it your mom's idea?" tanyakanya.

"I'm alone, sir. At first, Lavina's mother tried to persuade me to ask for something more expensive. But I refused." said Nanda honestly make Gathan more confused.

"Why did you refuse?" ask Gathan curiously.

"In that marriage all I took was her sacredness, not her large small dowry. Why do I ask for a lot of money or expensive jewelry if it cannot make me happy. Abundant treasures can actually lead us into misery. And the reason I ask the face, in hope as long as I use the face to bow down to the almighty, then the reward will flow not only to me, but also to the giver." said Nanda straightforwardly.

Gathan fell silent, he did not expect a little girl like Nanda to have such an interesting thought. At first he had thought, Nanda wanted to marry him because he was rich but when the procession Akad took place, he became a little doubtful. If another girl wants to show off her marriage by asking for a big dowry so that people are amazed to hear it, but not with Nanda. His request was even beyond expectations, just a face without any other frills. Perhaps this is one of the plus points that made his mother like Nanda and want him to be his wife. He was very different from Freya

"Sir, do you want coffee?"

"Emm ... so what should I call you, sir? Uh ... " Nanda immediately smothered his mouth that slipped calling father again.

Gathan shook his head to look at Nanda's behavior. The innocent girl ... He doesn't even talk much with Freya, but with Nanda he always manages to get a lot out of words just because of his innocent behavior.

"Think for yourself. Whatever it is up to."

"If sir?"

"I'm not your master." said Gathan.

"Keep what dong, Nanda is confused!" Nanda involuntarily whined making Gathan secretly smile faintly.

"Yes thinkin, there!" gathan said again, standing up to leave Nanda.

"Mas, want some coffee?" asked Nanda with a shy smile.

Gathan stiffened, his heart beating warmly, the call was apparently able to tickle his stomach.

"Can. Just put it on my desk. I'm gonna take a shower first."

"Ready, mas!" said Nanda excitedly with the palm of the hand on the right side of the head, behaving ala-ala reverence during the ceremony.

Gathan can only smile thinly, barely noticeable. Only 1 day Nanda in the house, it was able to give a different sensation in his mind.

30 Minutes later, Gathan walks back into his study. Shortly after, Nanda followed up with a cup of coffee and some slices of cheese cake. Put the coffee and cake on the table.

"Please drink it, coffee it!" said Nanda, who was only greeted by Gathan with an indistinct mutter. "I'll excuse you!" pamit Nanda .

Just as Nanda was flipping over, her eyes suddenly fluttered with Freya's eyes leaning against the door with her arms crossed.

"You trying to get attention, Gathan, hm? Don't dabble! Remember position. And remember your status." said Freya warning Nanda in a cynical tone.

"Sorry, Mom. Excuse me." said Nanda did not want to linger near Freya. From the beginning he had already seen Freya's dislike of him. Nanda felt that was natural. The first wife willingly accepted her husband's second marriage without permission. They will feel hurt and hurt. Not to be hurt, Nanda was grateful.

With a bowed face, Nanda walked out of the door. Then Freya blocked her steps and whispered something.

"You be a little, actor. You are like heaven and earth with Gathan. This isn't a Cinderella story where the prince falls in love with Upik's ashes like you. From now on, position yourself where the position should be. Don't act up let alone trying to make a face on Gathan because Gathan is only mine!" hiss Freya right in Nanda's ear made Nanda's eyes instantly foggy.

"Fre .." Gathan rebukes when he realizes Freya is blocking Nanda's move.

"Yes, baby." said Freya in a spoiled tone. Then he sauntered away with a slighting smile towards Nanda.
