Love of Two Worlds

Chapter 21

On the other hand, Max continued to grumble non-stop.

"This is a robbery" he said from earlier. He was in his car. After delivering Joon from the airport. He wants to go back to the office. Continuing the work that has been confirmed will increase in number. After suddenly, his boss immediately told him to buy a flight ticket to Jogja as soon as possible for that day.

And you can imagine Max calling right there, calling here. Contacting all the connections he had at various ticket agencies at the airport.

The fastest ticket was obtained after almost half an hour of struggle. With a flight within an hour of that time, making both of them immediately shot to the airport. Half drove his vehicle at full speed.

Fortunately, the streets supported their actions at that time. If not, you can be sure the boss will rampage even more. The streets are usually jammed, the day looks crowded smoothly.

Max tried to ask if the boss suddenly wanted to go to Jogja at that time. His boss only answered that there were important things to take care of. Important stuff? In Jogja? Did something happen to Sofia? But if something happens with Aunt Sofia, Mr. Lee will also panic.

But, earlier he had seen Mr. Lee and assistant Jo looking calm. Maybe they don't know yet. Think Max time.

They arrived at the airport just 25 minutes before the plane took off. Joon throws his tie into the car after removing it. Quickly darting out of the car followed by Max, until at the check-in door, Joon turned around and said, "Give me all your cash!"

"Huh?" Max gawking

"Hurry up I don't have time to go to the ATM!" Remember that in Jogja he must bring extra cash.

And by force, Max reaches into his suit pocket, opens his wallet and hands over all his cash with no leftover as Joon asks for everything.

"Use this temporarily," Joon holds out his unlimited debit card to Max.

Joon left Max. Who is still grumbling despite having got a change of magic card from his boss. And he was still grumbling until he got to his office.

"Do you need to be picked up, son?"

"No Ma, I'll take a cab, just give me the home address. Or sharelock."

"Good, son."

Joon came down from his room. I took a shower and changed my clothes. Looks fresh.

"Nina?" sofia asked as soon as she saw her son.

"He's sleeping, let him go. He's still in shock."

"Pity him, does he want to eat?"

"No, Ma."

"It must have been hard for him and his family, losing his father so suddenly."

"What's really going on, Ma?"

"Pak Adi tried to save the confused little boy when crossing over. Not from the front there was a truck that suddenly came. The driver said not to see Mr. Adi because the position of Mr. Adi and the child had entered the blind spot and it happened."

Joon sighed, staring at his room. How difficult it was to calm Nina who was intermittently still crying hysterically considering her father. It takes extra struggle to persuade him to want to sleep even for a while.

"Eat first, son"

Joon just complied, realizing that his stomach was hungry.

They ate quietly, no one spoke. All drifting in their own minds.

"Then what about the little boy and the driver who ran him over?"

"The little boy is okay. His family came to serve, apologizing even they waited until the body of Mr. Adi was buried. The driver who hit also came and apologized. Willing to reimburse all costs of Adi's pack while in the hospital. He looks so sorry. Both have good faith in the Nina family. But all of that won't change things. Aye right?"

"Well, if all problems can be solved with an apology or if the word is able to bring the dead back to life," Joon said with a sigh.

"You think it's in a fairyland?"

And both of them could only laugh in the midst of the sadness that also perched in their hearts.

"Then how are your plans. Mama means you're gonna take Nina to the headquarters. See the state of his family now."

Joon was silent for a moment. Thinks...

"Joon will still take him to the headquarters. But Joon won't force it. The decision is in Nina's hands. Joon just wants Mama to make sure that time comes, make sure Nina makes a decision without coercion."

"If Nina refuses?"

"So, maybe Joon will come down to pick her up" Sofia just smiled. His son is really an adult.

"Mama knows Joon really needs Nina there. Either in work or anything else."

"Is there a problem in the office?"

"Have you contacted your father?"

"Already Ma, Papa asked if he needed to come here too."

"Then?"

"I said there's no need. Later if Papa comes here, Max can run amok."

Sofia just laughed, happy to hear the good relationship of her son and his assistant Max. Given that only Max is beside Joon, when Joon really slumped in the past, because of his parents' problems.

"How many days are you planning here?"

"I don't know Ma, I'll see Nina first. You know I can't leave the office for long either."

Sofia only heard her son's words.

"The master of the goods we ordered will be there in a few days" one man reported to his master.

"Hemm, that's great. Tell Joni to take care of it."

"Good, sir."

"Make sure there are no errors at all in this delivery!"

And once again, the man who was his assistant bowed his body, obeying the request of his master. It passed from before his master.

"If the delivery this time is successful, just imagine the profit I can get."

Finally a laugh was heard in the room. Mr. Burhan laughed very satisfied imagining the benefits he would get.

"Thank you Jae Ha thanks to you my business went very smoothly."

Joon slowly walks into his room carrying a tray of food. When he entered, he saw Nina who had woken up. Sit leaning against Joon's headboard. His eyes were empty.

"Baby," call Joon slowly.

Nina turned to look at Joon. Joon smiles at least this time Nina immediately responds to his call.

"Eat."

Nina shook her head "appetite" he muttered.

"Want me a bribe?" Nina nodded back. Joon breathed slowly.

"Whatever it is is very difficult to persuade this child."

Until finally after struggling with various kinds of seduction that Joon can think of. The girl also wants to eat the food Joon brought.

"This must be something wrong, how could I do all this," he did not believe what he had done.

"Go home" said Nina suddenly.

"Yes?"

"Your work must be a lot, so come home I'm fine."

"I'll be home after I make sure you're okay."

"I'm doing fine. I just need time to accept all this. It's too sudden for me."

"Well let's talk about this again tomorrow."

Nina's eyes were back in tears. Slowly tears began to pour down her cheeks. There was countless sadness and loss that he felt.

"I just need time, yeah I just need time."

In fact, man only needs time to accept an event that may not be in accordance with what he wants. Trying to make peace with the situation. Facing anything with a light heart. That's all we can do to not make our lives feel hard to live.

So did Nina, trying to accept whatever destiny God gave her. Because he realized, whatever he did would not make his father come back to life.

"Try to accept the situation, then make peace with it."

Nina took her breath slowly. He seeks strength within himself. He must be strong for his mother and sister who are now his responsibility.
