Nico returned to the room where Reana was waiting for him there. When entering Nico smiled at the girl in front of him then immediately hugged him. Reana is transfixed to receive a hug from Nico. A moment later, he regained consciousness and returned the embrace.
Maybe this will be our last hug, Inner Reana.
Sensing Reana's hand on her back, Nico further tightened her embrace. It made the girl seem to be drowning in her chest.
"Daddy .. still wants me to take over the company. Daddy also said, can't make you sacrifice again," said Nico still hugging the girl tightly.
Nico's words make Reana let go of his embrace to look at the man she loves. Nico waited for what his beloved girl would say. But Reana just silently looked at him with a worried look.
"I told you what you did to protect me. It is you who have neglected your salvation to save my soul. They were very surprised and asked me not to demand any more sacrifices from you. I cannot make your heart worry about choices that are difficult for you" Nico said.
Reana. As much as possible to hold back the tears in his eyes did not come to the surface. According to him, Nico's remarks showed that his sacrifice was enough for Nico. Nico was no longer allowed to give her options, let alone demand her sacrifice. Even though it was Reana's own wish.
Can I no longer sacrifice for my brother? Did Nico's parents ask me to give up? inner Reana wondered.
Reana could only stare at the man she loved with an increasingly frenetic gaze. Then the girl smiled even though it looked very forced. The smiling lips seemed to shake. Reana seemed to have resigned. However, for Nico's sake, the girl still tried to smile even though it felt heavy to her.
"I can't sacrifice anymore? What if Mama's willing to let go of me staying here, can't she?" reana asked the choked voice. Nico shook his head.
"It will only make your heart worry. I know, you won't be able to live quietly leaving your mother that far" replied Nico.
"So our marriage is off?" asked Reana who couldn't hold back any longer the question that plagued her mind.
"No! Who said we're off marrying–"
"What's? But ... tah–"
"Mommy and Daddy agreed that they did not want to demand more sacrifices from you, so they decided to move the company's headquarters to Indonesia. I can lead that company there. You can still marry me without moving here and living here. We don't have to leave Mama alone in Indonesia" Nico said with a smile and cupped his future wife's face.
"really? Is this really? My brother didn't lie. Not to please my heart?" ask Reana. Nico shook his head while smiling.
"It was Daddy who proposed this. Mommy used to be surprised to see Daddy force me to accept that position, just as much as you. Mommy thinks Daddy wants to force me to move here and get us separated. But Daddy immediately decided to move the headquarters to Indonesia. Sweetheart! They did all this for you. They also love you very much–"
"really?" reana asked still in disbelief.
"Darling, why would I lie?" nico asked with a smile and immediately buried his lips into Reana's sweet lips.
The girl accepted with a happy heart. Disbelief when I heard Nico's words, but it was exciting news. Nico can still stay in Indonesia with him, that's all that matters for Reana.
"I have to thank them" said Reana immediately to make Nico shocked.
"Later on," answered Nico again wanting to kiss Reana.
"Later on anyway. At lunch, I still want to be with you. You don't know how heavy my inner burden is when I meet them. If I hadn't had breakfast, I might have fainted–"
"Business,"
Nico laughed, but what he said wasn't a lie. Getting into his parents' room was like getting into the audition room for a very rare talent search. A chance that only happens once in a lifetime and Nico is desperate to win it. Whatever he will do to get away, if necessary, he will not get out before he succeeds.
Heart palms, nodding tremors, forehead reminiscent, palms suddenly cold and throat feels dry. However, while staring at the beautiful girl before him, Nico felt worthy to fight for Reana. Therefore, Nico still wants to be with the girl, not wanting to separate even if only for a moment.
Reana finally let the man embrace her. Nico kind of channeled his heart's relief to Reana. There was the regular roar of Nico's breath blowing at Reana's nape.
"I'm happy, baby! Just stay with me first! I want to enjoy this relief with you" said Nico, still hugging Reana.
Reana nodded, slowly the girl's hand also tightened her embrace. Nico drowned his face at the base of his future wife's neck. Inhaling the scent of the body of the girl who had captured his attention since the first time he saw her.
As Nico said, at lunch, the man invited the girl he loved to be reunited with his parents. Because not immediately thanking the two parents, Reana became awkward. Suddenly, Reana loses her confidence and hesitates over what Nico tells her.
"Reana, he said he wanted to thank Daddy and Mommy. Why don't you say anything now, baby?" tanya Nico is fishing for Reana to talk.
"I ... here, Mom .. sorry, Mrs–
"What's the matter Reana?" alex Rayne asked with a smile.
"I-I .. Kak Nico said that you allow us me .. me–"
"Yes right! We're blessing you to get married" Alex Rayne said, smiling.
"Yes, but is it true that we can stay in Indonesia?" tanya Reana began to feel comfortable talking to Nico's parents.
"Yes baby! You don't have to stay here. Nico will serve as CEO of our company in Indonesia. Soon we will take care of the preparation of moving the head office to Indonesia" Alex Rayne replied.
"Thank you Dad uh .. Sir, Madam!" reana said so happy that without realizing it had considered both parents Nico as his own parents.
"Call us like Nico call us. You're Nico's future wife, you're our son now, too" Alex Rayne smiled.
Reana smiled back and turned to look at Nico. The man held Reana's hand. The girl turned to look towards her. Cathrina. It seems that the attitude of the mistress is ordinary. Not at all resisting and questioning the way Reana called him.
"Okay Daddy, thank you Daddy. Thank you Mommy," Reana said so happily.
Mr. Alex Rayne nodded with a smile, Madam. Cathrina smiled too. Although it does not show an open attitude. However, his eyes on Reana no longer showed any disapproval.
