Khanza and Gracio

25. Approaches

Happy reading!

After the pilgrimage to the tomb of Artawijaya, Edgar still took time to talk with Ara and Rafa. Nesa was resigned because there was an important job.

Talks that initially only discussed about work, slowly diverted Edgar to Cia. Because he was interested in that woman.

Rafa who already knew Cia's helper was Edgar to thank the mature man. Although not told, Rafa always knows what happened to his daughter's son. Rafa learned that information from his people.

Edgar himself is shocked when Rafa finds out that he is Cia's helper from Boby's bejad treatment. He didn't expect Rafa to know that.

"Daddy, Ante.... Cia wants to go to the boutique." said Cia who appeared arrived in front of them.

The three immediately looked at the girl.

"To the boutique?" ask Rafa back. Ara also stared in wonder. This is the first time Cia wants to go to the boutique of her own accord after a long time of refusal when invited by Nesa and herself to take care of the business business that Maya left for this girl.

"Yes Daddy. Cia thought it was time for Cia to step in to manage and take care of her own business!"

Rafa and Ara smiled at each other.

"It's not grandma's business, honey. But it has you. All that effort is yours." said Ara glad to hear Cia's decision.

"That's great, baby." Rafa said.

"Ante was happy to hear it. Ask the driver to drive you! Don't go alone." concluded Ara. Worrying about something bad happening to Cia again like last night in Bali. Even though Cia is hiding it, Rafa knows about last night.

Cia nodded. He approached Rafa and Ara. Kiss their hands.

"Mr Ravendro, if allowed let me take your daughter. Coincidentally I also want to go to the office." sidelines Edgar who has since looked at Cia and listened to their conversation. He volunteered to approach Cia in order to get to know the girl who had captivated him.

"Don't it bother you?" ask Rafa.

"Of course not" Edgar said immediately.

"Darling, go with Mr. Edgar. Daddy hope you won't reject his kindness!" Rafa looked at Cia.

"Auntie agrees too. You'll be safe with Mr. Edgar." - timpal Ara. Recalling Edgar's repeated rescue of Cia.

Cia looked at Edgar for a moment.

"Well Daddy" he said he couldn't resist his ante and Daddy's wishes.

Edgar smiled happily. He's getting up soon. Shake hands with Rafa and Ara.

"Titip Cia yes Mr Edgar?" ara said to Edgar while touching the man's burly arm.

"of course. I'll make sure your daughter gets safely to her destination!"

"Thank you in advance, Mr. Edgar." said Rafa patting him on the shoulder.

"Lord and mistress Artawijaya, don't call me that formal. Just call me Edgar. I feel comfortable if you both just say my name."

Rafa and Ara smiled.

"Then you can also call us Om and Auntie, because we also feel comfortable in being called by that designation" concluded Ara.

Edgar laughed a little.

"By pleasure Om.tante. It will bring us closer and feel like family" he said, glancing at Cia, who was watching their stale conversation.

"Yes, you better go. Heart on the road!" said Rafa. He approached Cia. Holds the girl's face.

"Honey, start a new life, open a new page with a new spirit full of confidence. Forget the past, look ahead, there is a lot of happiness waiting for you. There are still many good people who love you and love you" said Rafa.

Cia smiled nodded.

Rafa kissed her forehead and hugged for a moment.

"Daddy loves you!"

"I love Daddy and Ante too!" said Cia reciprocated Rafa's embrace.

Ara did the same. Hugging and kissing soft Cia forehead.

Edgar looked at them in amazement. A beautiful sight.

Both of them immediately left the two couples.

On its way.

Edgar drove quietly. Sometimes he turned to look at Cia who was sitting quietly looking ahead. This girl was more silent with a gloomy face. It may be due to trauma with bad events that happened to him.

"Regarding last night's events....!" edgar said breaking the silence between them.

"Thank you for hiding last night from Daddy and Ante Ara." Cia cut her words. He looked at Edgar.

"Hide it? Mr. Rafa already knows what happened to you Miss. I haven't even told her a word." Edgar's inner.

"Who is he?" Edgar asked about Boby. Although he already knew the man was Cia's ex-girlfriend who did not accept the unilateral decision.

"Who?" cia's forehead shriveled not understanding Edgar's question.

"The man last night who abused you twice?"

Cia was breathing rough. His face immediately turned grim.

"not nobody. Please don't talk about it."

"Well Miss....!"

"Cia... My name is Cia!"

"Miss Cia.... Graciana Princess Aditama. What a beautiful name!" edgar smiled sweetly.

Cia looked at him. This man knows his full name. Maybe from Daddy and Ante, her inner self.

"Why do you want to hide last night from Mr Rafa? They should have known."

"I don't want to make them and my mom is worried about me. From childhood they took care of me lovingly. Until I grew up like now, this still troubles them. Bothering them, making them always anxious" Cia said as she looked back at Edgar. Then look back to the front.

"That's the old man. They will never get bored, tired and complain to take care of their children. They are even willing to do anything for their children" Edgar said.

She complained sadly.

"But I know you're a good boy. Bad things that happen to you are not something you ask for. So don't blame yourself. As Mr. Rafa said, continue your life again. There is still a lot of happiness waiting for you in the future. Forget about the things that make you sick. Walk back to find new happiness."

Cia sighed sadly.

"I am not saddened by the fate of separation from a relationship that I have lived for so long. But I regret and consider myself the most stupid for anchoring my heart and love to the wrong heart. Putting hope in the wrong people. I was too blind and foolish to judge which heart was honest and sincere! I'm......!"

"He who does not deserve you. Not worth getting yourself. And God ends your relationship by exposing its vices. How worthless he is, how despicable and unworthy of you." Edgar cut his words.

Cia looked at him.

"Never blame yourself, don't call yourself bad. And don't shed tears for her. Your tears are too precious for a depraved man like him." continued Edgar.

Cia sobbing. He wiped the tears on his cheeks.

Edgar took the tissue and handed it to him. Cia immediately accepted and wiped her tears. He's getting sobbing. Feelings of regret related to Boby. And more feeling very guilty to Rafa who once warned himself that the man was not a good man. But she doesn't care and still chooses Boby as her lover, accepts Boby and continues their relationship. But it turns out that guy's a jerk with no heart and no feelings. Flaunting love and sweet seduction in many women just to channel her lustful passion.

Cia's getting sobbing. Her crying voice broke. The sadness that was pensive for two weeks because they did not want to be shown to Nesa, Ara and Rafa.

Edgar pulled the car over. Give Tissue back to Cia. Letting the woman let out all the burdens of sadness and emotions that were squeezing her soul.

Just one hand rubbed Cia's head because it could not bear to see the tears and hear the sound of the girl's cry.

10 Minutes passed, Cia's emotions began to stabilize. His mood began to improve. No more crying or sobbing. Cia swept away the rest of her tears, breathing out repeatedly.

"It's quiet?" edgar watched from the side.

Cia nodded.

Edgar continued on his way.

"Sir.....!" call Cia, but the words are cut off by Edgar.

"We're just the two of us. Call it Edgar." Edgar smiled.

Cia looked at him.

"But I'm not used to it yet...."

"From now on you have to get used to it" Edgar said back "What's wrong?"

"How do you know Raka's uncles Ante Ara and Daddy? you also came to our house?!" ask Cia.

Edgar smiled back for a moment at him. Looking at the puffy but sweet face.

"They're good people, certainly many people who know and miss their kindness!"

Cia's forehead shriveled looking at him. Yes, he knew his parents and late uncle were indeed very kind to everyone.

"Do you want to know?" edgar asked still smiling looking at Cia's curious face.

Edgar pulled the car over because they had reached Cia's destination. He looked at the girl's face. Cia nodded.

"I'll say at our meeting later" he said meaningfully.

Both of Cia's eyebrows were adrift at his words. Cia looked at him.

"We've arrived." Edgar pointed to the grand, four-story building, which was a Cia boutique.

Cia stammered, she turned to the building. Right, they had arrived and he didn't realize it. Cia immediately put on her sling bag. Edgar smiled back to see it.

"Thank you for driving me." said Cia.

Edgar nodded.

"The same" he said.

Cia was about to open the car door, but her arm was held down by Edgar. Cia surprise.

Edgar approached and stuck his hand out to Cia's face.

Cia pulled back her body.

For the next two burly hands fix his messy hair. Cia was back in shock.

"Excite for your first day at work!" edgar looked at him.

Cia looked at him with an irregular heartbeat. Then nodded slowly. Edgar opens Cia's car door.

"Sir-sir, for your help last night as well as the old ones, again I say thank you" said Cia nervously, because of their close distance. Edgar had not yet regressed his body.

"In addition to thank you, is there nothing else you can do?" ask Edgar.

Cia looked back at him, making them look at each other closely.

"What do you want?" ask Cia.

Edgar smiled. He took his phone back.

"How many numbers?" tanyakanya.

"For what?" cia's face frowned.

"Tell me."

Doubtful and clueless, Cia called her phone number.

Edgar immediately saves it to his phone contacts.

"What I want I'll tell you later" he said, then smiled. A very sweet smile makes the heart of Cia deg degan.

Cia gulped and opened the car door because she did not want to look too long with this mature man. He's coming down slowly.

"See you later." Edgar waved his hand.

Cia simply stared, then immediately turned to step into the boutique. Sometimes he looked back to see Edgar's car that had not left. The sweet smile from that handsome face was still visible from behind the car door. After he entered, the luxury car was then seen leaving.
