It Turns out I'm the Second

Ch.30 Hugs

After the hospital, Gathan wants to take Nanda to the cafe Starla. He will meet with his new business partner.

"So, what did your leg actually do? Why did it get that blister?" ask Gathan curiously. Actually he had wanted to ask this since, but the situation had not been possible. Actually Gathan was home to retrieve the files left behind, but when he just entered the house he even saw the grimacing Nanda face withstanding pain due to his burns that were being cleaned Surti. Luckily he came on time, otherwise the wound could become an infection. He was sure that Nanda would not tell him what had happened to him.

"Oh, that's mas, Nanda was making brownies. When Nanda just came out of the oven, because it was too hot the wobble apart from the hand continued to fall on Nanda's own feet" he lied. He couldn't possibly tell her the truth because he didn't want to make a scene in the house. She also does not want to be a girl. Instead Nanda hoped, he could make Freya accept it with open arms. If he complained about it, it was not impossible that Freya would hate him even more.

"really? You're not lying, are you?" gathan asked with his sharp eyes.

"Sure, mas. Why is Nanda lying" said Nanda, smiling sweetly.

"Goodoo. Next time, be more careful" Gathan warned.

"Thank you, ma'am."

"For?" asked Gathan with the furrowed brows.

"For everything including today have taken Nanda to the doctor" he said sincerely who unknowingly managed to make a smile appear on Gathan's lips.

Nanda who saw it was glued. This time she saw her husband's smile. Really sweet.

"Why look around?" ask Gathan astonished.

"Mas, kok mas is really stingy smile when it is yes mas, mas smile that muanissss pake really. No smile is cute especially when smiling, honey is just less sweet" said Nanda with a sweet smile and innocent face. Hearing Nanda's words as well as his cute face just made Gathan smile again even wider. Gathan rattles Nanda's hair because anxiety makes Nanda giggle amused.

"Smiling is expensive because it is only shared with certain people and also special" he said back flat.

"That means Nanda is also special dong" he said back with a charming smile.

"Who said?"

"Say to Gathan. Kan was mas himself who said, the smile of the mas was only shared with certain people and also special. Well earlier Gathan smiled with Nanda, meaning Nanda is also special dong" he said while raising his eyebrows

"GR." he turned his face away and held a smile.

'Oh, my God, why have I ever known this child so often smile? Is it true what he said? but why can? What is special about him?' muttered Gathan in heart.

"Mas, where are we really going?" ask Nanda because it has been almost 30 minutes their car drove but the place to go is not yet known Nanda.

"Cafe Starla." said Gathan briefly.

"Huh? Seriously mas? The one on the Merpati road, right?" his question to Gathan was answered nodding by him. "You know?"

"Well, Nanda worked as a waiter there. But already 2 weeks Nanda is not working, about Nanda will be fired, huh, mas? Ah, yesterday forgot to ask the same brother Alfi. Fear later did not work Nanda already in kick out" said Nanda with a grumbling face.

A second later, the laughter of Erwin who was sitting on the steering chair broke. He even cracked up. As for Gathan, he held back a nearly exploding laugh. But because of prestige, he endured the laughter, but it did not last long because over time holding back the laughter actually made his stomach hurt. He finally let go of his laughter freely. He hasn't laughed like this in a long time. It turns out having Nanda as a wife is enough to make her day more enjoyable. Not as monotonous as before. Even now he can laugh like a bird that has just been released from his cage.

"Who was laughing? What is so funny? Nanda is talking seriously even admirably." Nanda pursed her lips in annoyance at being laughed at by Gathan and Erwin. "Udah ih, mas Gathan, brother Erwin, have already stopped, do not take Nanda anymore. Nanda Nangis nih!" ketus Namda with teary eyes made Gathan and Erwin flutter.

"Heh, boy, why are you crying? It's weird!" cetus Gathan, now seated, faced Nanda.

"The Abbisnya mas Gathan sama brother Erwin recek . Nanda was seriously surprised. Nanda is seriously worried. Nanda will have to send money to Rieke's mother for the needs of the home. If Nanda does not work continue to be unable to pay how the fate of the brothers and sisters together mother. Free to have a nice house but no food. Not to mention for the purposes of the school sisters, Nanda still wants to work there. If you are looking for work again, not necessarily can, especially if the salary is good and his co-workers are good only there. If Nanda tertiary education is very good, can enter applications anywhere, it can end High School aja Nanda already grateful." said Nanda made Gathan and Erwin who had laughed so silent. They did not expect, Nanda was not only a good girl but also a noble heart and responsible.

"What?" ketus Nanda's.

"Who is the owner of the Starla cafe?"

"Mom uh Lavina."

"Mama Lavina who is Nanda?"

"Behold, already know the nanya." he said again while turning his face away.

"Well, you know in-laws, you still think you're gonna get fired. Maybe you'll hire you as a waitress again. Time" his favorite daughter-in-law is allowed to be a servant." said Gathan inexhaustible with the mindset of Nanda who passed innocently lead to the oon.

Nanda turned to Gathan.

"If Nanda is not hired as a servant, Nanda will be hired as what dong? Nanda will have to work." he said with his eyebrows linked.

"For now, I don't know. Even if you get fired, you have your own. Now your business is a responsibility, ma'am. So mas will meet all your needs including supporting the needs of your sisters in the orphanage." said Gathan seriously while holding both hands Nanda.

"No, mas! No need. I'm quite fulfilling my needs, Nanda. But as for the parlour business, let Nanda do her own thing. Nanda does not want to bother let alone burden the mas." reject Nanda smooth.

"Nda, horrified, mas,!" Gathan Strictly. "You're not a hassle let alone a burden, so there's no need to worry, okay! If you still want to work, okay, you are not forbidden. But ... First you can work but mas do not want you to be a servant and second you can work as long as you do not forget your duties and obligations." said Gathan made Nanda smile widely.

"Ready mas." said he was excited until he unconsciously threw himself in the arms of Gathan. Gathan stiffened in place, but he tried to control himself and gently rubbed Nanda's mane.

"But if it's not the waiter, Nanda's working so what's it?" ask Nanda who is still in Gathan's arms.

"That's what you think about later. Don't mind much, okay!" said Gathan, who was taken by Nanda, who still hugged Gathan.

"Ekhem .. know what is halal. Until the one in front is considered a wax statue." Erwin sneered as he glanced at the newlywed couple who were dissolving in an embrace.

Gathan and Nanda broke their arms with reddened faces. Nanda immediately turned his face in shame, while Gathan tried to be ordinary when in his heart he cursed why he could act like that.

Shortly after, Gathan's car arrives at the cafe Starla. Then Tio's personal assistant Gathan appears to greet his master.

"How's it?" gathan asked as he got out of the car.

"The main director of KSM Group has just arrived sir. Right now they are waiting inside." Tio told Gathan .

"All right, let's get in."

Just a few steps they set foot inside the cafe, Nanda caught the face of someone she had not seen for a long time walking into one of the private rooms. His feet were on the spot. Unable to move even a moment. Especially when the face had turned towards him made Nanda pias face instantly. In Nanda's heart, hopefully the man doesn't recognize him.
