Me, What It Is

CHAPTER 47 ~ New Opportunity ~

Reana's voice stopped Nico's footsteps. The man stood behind the door, hearing the voice of his beloved girl calling his name and hoping to stay with her.

What should he do ? Choose to stay with her and feel afraid of bad things happening to the girl again or choose to leave her for her safety, but forever miss the girl. But is that life ?

The dream was very scary for him, Nico would be very sorry to ignore the dream if something bad happened to Reana. The man was ready to leave Reana whenever he remembered the dream.

But Ridha gave enlightenment that the dream he experienced was a fear he created himself when he fell unconscious.

Reana loses her life when she marries Mr. Malvin. The girl felt her life was dead, though she lived in the abundance of affection from Mr. Malvin.

"Sister Nico, don't leave me" Reana said.

The girl's voice was heard again, the clearer it became.

I too will be like Reana, without her my life will be dead, Nico cried.

Nico had already chosen, and now, Nico had already decided on it, the man steadied his feet. Appeared at the door and moved closer to Reana.

Reana looked at the man who had just come to her. The girl smiled, the influence of anesthesia slowly began to dissipate. Rena raised her hand slowly, grabbing the face of Nico who was standing beside her bed. Nico drew closer to letting Reana caress his cheek.

Nico clasped and kissed the girl's hand and put on her cheek, tears coming from her eyes. Bu Ridha watched Nico's outpouring of affection towards his daughter, slowly leaving them behind.

Bu Ridha chose to sit in the waiting chair available in the hospital hallway.

Pa, your daughter's grown up, there's someone who loves her so much, do you agree ? whispered Ridha's heart while shedding tears.

The middle-aged mother wiped away her tears, there was a feeling of fear flowing in the recesses of her heart. Would that only daughter be happy ? with Nico there will be no doubt, the man will do anything to make him happy.

But what about his family ? will they accept Reana with their much different family background. Letting Reana go further and letting her fall into the abyss of love deeper, then finding disappointment there ? rejected for different social status ?

Papa, what should I do, I want our son to be happy, cried Ridha.

Bu Ridha closed his eyes, calming his mind. The mother did not realize that Nico was sitting next to her. The man looked at the middle-aged woman's face with a lot of energy. In his heart Nico wanted to apologize for making the woman's heart restless and sad.

"You're here ?" ask Ridha's mom after realizing Nico is sitting next to her.

Nico who was daydreaming, smiled in shock at the greeting of Ridha's mother.

"Reana's asleep again" the man replied.

Rida's mother breathed.

"What brings you back ? are you not afraid of your dreams anymore ? " ask Ridha's mom with a smile.

"I'll be scared of the dream forever, but I'm sorry mom I can't stay away from Reana, I'm more afraid of losing her, Reana once said, parting makes her life feel dead.

I also felt the same way, chose to believe in the dream, then decided to leave it, my life felt like it was over there. Please allow me to stay with him ma'am" Nico said with teary eyes.

The man hopes that Ridha's mother will approve of their relationship. The man was tired of the trouble that was always trying to separate them.

"What about your family ? you must understand what mother means" asked Ridha.

"I will explain to them, I will do anything to get their blessing" Nico said confidently as she looked at Ridha's mother with her eyes still glazed.

Bu Ridha nodded in understanding, the middle-aged woman was moved by Nico's deep feelings towards her daughter.

"Everything depends on your efforts, the efforts of the two of you, the mother can only pray, hopefully you no longer have difficulty in maintaining your relationship" said Ms. Ridha with her head down.

A prayer he would always pray for the happiness of his daughter.

"mom just wants to say one thing, I believe in you, please don't break that trust, Reana is the only daughter of mother, the only precious treasure for mother, please take good care of her" ms Ridha's message shed tears while smiling at the man.

Nico looked at Ridha with a feeling of haru, the man was smiling happily, a mouthful of tears was pierced in the corner of his eyes, Ridha wiped the tears for him, Nico laughed.

By the night Reana's consciousness had fully returned, some acquaintances came to him, asking Reana for her condition and comforting her. Support for Reana's recovery.

Reana did not think, she who used to be a loner, did not have any friends. He is surrounded by people who care about him.

Restaurant employees who never all talked to him, the occasional hostess Reana never saw before, classmates, college students, friends Nico, Alika, and Nella. Even the makeup girls came to take turns swiping at her.

The invitation brought them all to know Reana, the wedding invitation made Reana know them all. Yes, Mr. Malvin invited everyone around Reana because he didn't know which one was the girl's best friend.

They introduced themselves, asking Reana for her health condition, as most of them saw the incident. When Reana was taken away and followed by Mr. Malvin they came out to see what happened.

Some even wondered why Reana decided to run away. Because it is very strange for them to refuse to marry a rich young master like Mr. Malvin.

Plus the news about the marriage became a byword among people who knew Mr. Malvin.

Reana simply replied with a smile and said that master Malvin was not her destiny, was not her match. All the mangosteen heard Reana's reply, though it was still hard to believe because mister Malvin and Reana looked so harmonious.

Meet and talk, until finally one by one go home, stay Ridha, Nico and his friends, as well as Nella. They are the people closest to Reana, the people who care and love her.

They laugh together when Ardi tells the funny story of their friendship. Nella laughs and sometimes blushes at the way Ardi tells her stories.

Ardi is a real magnet for girls, his humorous and likable nature, and his, her face was white with a sweet smile and a cool hairstyle following the Korean oppa-oppa trend made Nella repeatedly glance at her.

Reana is not unaware of it, the girl lets them know each other. Nico who sat on the sofa with Rida's mom also laughed at Ardi's funny story.

Nico glanced at Reana, Reana who had been allowed to sit down gave a code to notice Nella who shyly glanced at Ardi. Nico who had not understood finally realized Reana's intentions, then they smiled together.

"Mr Malvin is indeed very evil" said Nella innocently when their conversation finally turned to the story of Reana's marriage. The atmosphere became different, instantaneous silence.

"It is not too easy to judge people if they do not know what is happening" Reana advised Nella.

The girl who was already considered like her sister was astonished, hearing Reana who was like defending master Malvin. Everyone who was there also thought the same thing, Nico bowed, there was a sense of pain in his chest when he heard Reana's defense.

Since childhood has been taught and required to get everything he wants in any way.

Mr. Malvin grew up to be arrogant and ambitious.

Thanks to the nature that had been instilled in him since he was a child, he became as successful as he is today.

But her soul remains empty she needs someone to fill it" Reana told the story while remembering All about Mr. Malvin.

Nico was stunned to see Reana, the girl was so understanding all about master malvin, others were thinking the same.

"He's not like us, he's not as lucky as we are, has people who love and have someone to love.

He just wants to get it, someone who loves him and someone to love him.

It's just that the way it was taken was wrong because of its difficult nature to accept rejection" Reana's story again made everyone stunned.

"If only someone had given him a chance, if everyone could understand his feelings, no one would have judged Mr. Malvin an evil man" Reana said.

Unfortunately, Mr. Malvin asked Reana for the opportunity, the girl who had already given her heart to another man.

Reana looked at Nella.

"Don't be too easy to hate someone because it's not necessarily the person we think it is, I can say that, because I've experienced it, judged it, accused it, he said, hated when they did not know what happened" continued Reana turned to look at Nico and smiled at the man.

Nico returns Reana's smile and they all try to understand Reana's words. Ardi suddenly walked over to the girl's bed.

"I'm sorry Reana, because I once thought badly of you, all because..."

"I knowuu, because brother Ardi really loves brother Nico, from now on get out of the way, find a girl for brother dear, do not compete with me" said Reana melengos feigning anger.

"What ? I'm competing with you ? love Nico ? what am I gay ?" said Ardi laughing.

Everyone laughed, Nico's heart flowered, the girl actually said she loved him.

They talked until late at night until they finally had to go home leaving Reana and Nico who were still in hospital in their respective rooms.

"Sir Nico rest to be healthy quickly" said Reana saw the man still survive in Reana's room.

Nico nodded slowly towards the girl then kissed her forehead then walked away from the room, not forgetting that the man was saying goodbye to Ridha's mother.

Reana was stunned to see the reckless behavior of Nico who kissed her forehead in front of her mother. Fortunately Bu Ridha pretended not to see so Reana felt relieved

The next day the doctor checks Reana's gunshot wound and the surrounding organs that may also be traumatized, as the gunshot wound can also cause damage to surrounding tissue in the form of bleeding or infection.

If in 7-10 days Reana does not experience any problems after surgery, then recovery can be done at home. Nico and Ridha are happy to hear that they are praying that Reana's wounds have no problem and can heal soon.

Nico has been declared cured and has been allowed to go home. The man went home to Ridha and Reana.

Stop by her apartment for a bit, do everything she has to do and go back to the hospital. Nico prefers to spend his time in the hospital with Reana and his mother.

Until finally the girl was allowed to go home, Ridha ma'am also said to go back to her hometown.

"Please promise to always take care of her, protect her and love her" Ridha's mother told Nico.

"I promise mom, I will always take care of her" replied Nico.

"My heart is calm, now my daughter is not alone in this city there are you who always take care of her" said Ms Ridha .

"But... I have one request ma'am, can you grant me one?" ask Nico hesitatingly.

"What is that request ?" ask Miss Ridha.

"I bought a small villa for Reana.."

"What ?" asked Rida maam in shock, not believing her hearing.

"True ma'am, all that I did for the sake of realizing Reana's desire for her papa, Reana once said her papa promised to take her on vacation to a villa that could see the sunset" nico's story recalls Reana's words.

"True, papa Reana did promise it to him, but it never materialized" recalls Ridha's mother

"Please let me take him there, please allow us to stay there" asked Nico pleading.

"But you guys.." said Miss Ridha cut off not wanting to say bad things.

"Mom, I promised my mother that I would take care of her, I wouldn't hurt her, I respected her, I won't do anything beyond the limits of ma'am, I just wanted to make her wish come true, it's just ma'am" Nico pleaded.

Bu Ridha was stunned, the middle-aged woman thought hard, there was no doubt to believe the sincerity of this young man's heart, this young man, but they are still very young and they each have a strong desire to show their feelings. Bu Ridha was afraid that they could not hold back.

But considering they have been together and Nico takes care of Reana fully his soul, as well as his daughter who can always take care of him, Ridha's doubts are slightly reduced.

"Mom can really trust you ?" asked Ridha ma'am, Nico nodded firmly.

"Alright, mother allows" said Ridha, smiling,

"Thank you very much Mom, thank you" Nico said with a smile, so glad Nico grabbed Ridha's hand and kissed the back of the mother's hand.

Miss Ridha patted Nico's shoulder while glazed over.

Basic son of a rich man, buying a villa is like buying rice just sit, Inner bu Ridha shook her head.

That day Bu Ridha came home, after hugging his son tightly and giving advice, Bu Ridha returned to his hometown by using an online taxi booked by Nico. While Reana is escorted back to her boarding house.
