LOVE IS A WOUND

Chapter 36. Nick and Arimbi

Nick's been investigating all about Rachel's death. Finally he knew if it all started from his sister who saw Rafael was having sex with Arimbi. It has been a week that Nick approached the woman to avenge Rachel's heartache.

"Rafael has recompensed with his suicide and only Arimbi remains. The woman also turned out to be her lover Rangga. He is also the cause of the broken up of the household of Love. We start Arimbi's game" Nick said.

The love that saw Nick watching, joined in. He smiled at the man he had considered to be his own brother. Nick, trying to get close to Arimbi, is unaware of the presence of Love.

"Hayoo, whose brother call again? Sister-in-law's candidate, huh?" tanya Love surprised the man.

Nick smiled. A week approaching Arimbi is not a difficult thing for the man, because he knows, Arimbi only needs money. With his money, he had been able to subdue the woman.

"Not a good sister-in-law. I'm just like this woman" Nick replied.

Love just smiled wryly hearing the answer from Nick. He thought the man was ashamed to be honest.

"Don't just say it, you can be soaked!" Love again taunts Nick. The man laughed and ruffled the woman's hair.

"What is your relationship with Rangga?" ask Nick.

Yesterday her mother said, Rangga came to the house, but Love did not want to meet. An hour waiting, the woman still locked herself in the room, finally Rangga came home.

"I'm not ready to meet you, Bang. I still doubt this feeling. Do I have to forgive or just end it?" Love speaks with a mind that glares somewhere.

"Don't make a decision. It concerns your future. Think of everything maturely." Nick tried to advise.

Although actually in addition to the affection as a sister, Nick also keeps the feeling of liking. However, he was not a selfish man who forced his feelings. He will accept whatever is the decision of Love.

The doorbell rang, the aunt who opened the door came to Nick and Love. Tell me who the guests are.

"What's up, Bi?" ask Nick, look at auntie.

"There are guests who want to meet Non-Love," replied the aunt while looking down.

"Go in, Bi!" answer Nick. He could already guess who the guest wanted to meet with Love was. Besides Rangga, no one knows and knows the presence of the woman in Nick's house.

Rangga walks decisively towards the living room where Nick and Love are. Mom just happened to be out of the house to take care of her boutique business.

"Good day, Mr. Nick, Love," said Rangga so until before the two.

Love and Nick answered in unison. The man invited Rangga to sit down. After ten minutes of being stale, Nick said goodbye. He gave them a chance to talk.

"Sorry, I said goodbye. There's still business outside" Nick said.

Love smiles at Nick's words. He went back to teasing the man.

Rangga without a blink, looking at the interaction of the two. He became a little envious looking at the familiarity of the two. Only then did the man realize, it was actually the love of a jolly and cheerful woman. All of that has been lost since marrying her. Rangga felt more guilty. He could feel what Love felt while living with him.

After Nick leaves, Rengga tightens his seat to get closer to Love. The woman was still silent, not knowing where to start their conversation.

Rangga took out the contents from the bag he was carrying. It was a food box. I don't know what it is. Love just glances.

"I ate at a restaurant yesterday. The fried noodles are delicious. I remember you making breakfast fried noodles for me. So when I came here I stopped by on purpose. Who knows, you like it" said Rangga.

He opened the food box. Take his chopsticks then take the noodles and thrust it into Cinta. The woman just looked at the chopsticks wrapped in fried noodles.

"Try it first, I'm sure you like. It does not feel much different from your cooking," said Rangga still by thrusting the noodles into the mouth of Love.

Love finally opens her mouth and takes a bribe from Rangga. Admittedly Love the taste of fried noodles is delicious. So that when Rangga again thrust noodles into his mouth, Love again received. Until unknowingly, a serving of fried noodles runs out in his meal.

Rangga smiled at the Love that had begun to accept his arrival. Since their meeting at the party, every day Rangga comes, but usually Love will hide in the room without wanting to meet.

While Rangga is trying to get close to Love, Arimbi is waiting for Nick's arrival. She dresses up so beautiful and sexy.

"I should be able to make Nick fall in love and go crazy with me. I will not beg for love with Rangga anymore. My prey this time is much better than that man," Arimbi murmured to himself.

Two hours waiting, Arimbi began to look agitated. He had tried to contact Nick again, but was inactive. When almost desperate, he sees Nick entering the restaurant where he is waiting. From a distance Arimbi had given her a smile.

"Great-looking. Money is also abundant. If I can ensnare him, I'm sure my life will be happy and prosperous. What's more he's gentle, not as grumpy as Rangga. From today on, I won't take care of that man anymore. Want to come back again or divorce his wife whatever," Arimbi murmured to himself again.

Nick smiled sweetly when he was close to Arimbi. Gently peeked at the woman's cheek.

"Sorry, I'm late. The streets are jammed if the holiday is like this," said Nick. He then chose to sit across from Arimbi, not next to the woman.

"It's okay, Nick. I understand," replied Arimbi in a soft voice so that the man would be impressed with her.

When Nick calls Arimbi, the woman asks him where he knows his bike from. Luckily Nick had prepared the answer. He said that Arimbi's number came from a friend. Coincidentally also Arimbi's friend is his subordinate. To make Arimbi believe.

"Have you waited a long time?" nick asked while looking at the menu, he ordered a lot of Arimbi's favorite food. Nick has indeed investigated everything about the woman, including her treatment with Love.

"There's not a long time for me if it's to wait for you. No matter how long you come, I will wait" Arimbi said with a sweet smile.

"I'm flattered to hear what you said. Do I mean so much when we just met?" ask Nick again. The man painstakingly endured his disgust at having to say softly to the woman who was one of the causes of Rachel's death. He would not let this woman before him be happy.
