Me, What It Is

CHAPTER 92 S2 ~ Home to Apartment ~

Nico is allowed into Reana's room. As soon as he saw his wife the man immediately shed tears. The students do not know where Nico got the news about Reana's return. Everyone thought that Nico happened to be in front of the boarding house when Reana came home.

They were amazed at Nico's premonition that his wife had come home and returned to his room. Without them knowing that Nico himself who drove Reana to the front of the fence of the boarding house. Now they can only resignedly hope Nico can entertain the heart of Reana.

When he saw his wife who was just silent staring blankly out the window. Nico's heart was very sad. The man did not know that Reana's heartache was coming from him. Nothing shakes Reana more than feeling unwanted by her own husband. 

For almost a month Reana was imprisoned and restrained by fear of Mr. Malvin. All of that did not make Reana desperate. But not until a matter of hours in Nico's apartment, Reana felt a sadness that made him just silently stare blankly like a person who does not want to live anymore.

Nico hugged the girl from behind. A man crying on his wife's shoulder. Nico couldn't bear to see Reana live like that. Thinking Reana would be better when she was in her dorm room turned out to be the wrong thought. Nico regretted taking the girl home to her boarding room.

"We're home, baby. Here you just trouble them," said Nico so that his wife would be invited back to his apartment.

"But I didn't ask them for help. I don't want to trouble anyone" said Reana softly.

"But you always make them worry about Reana" replied Nico.

"Then I'd better go back to the village. I will live together with my mother" said Reana finally woke up and took her travel bag.

The girl took all the clothes and put them all in that travel bag. But not quite fit for the size of the bag that is not too big. Reana. His intention to return to the village without returning to the boarding room made him confused because not all of his clothes could enter his bag.

"I'll be back to pick him up later" said softly without turning towards Nico.

The girl walked out of the room door and immediately left while carrying her bag. All were stunned because Reana left without saying anything. Nico finally said goodbye to them.

But after approaching his car, Nico saw Reana who just stepped through the car. Stepping in an uncertain direction with an empty look. Nico immediately held the girl's hand to prohibit her from going any further.

"Where are you going?" ask Nico wonder.

"Go home, mother" replied Reana with teary eyes.

"Why go home mom?" ask Nico.

"Because I'm just a hassle here. I'm not wanted anywhere here. But I'd have accepted me. Mom won't throw me out, mom won't think I'm a hassle" Reana answered no longer teary-eyed but immediately cried.

"Reana" said Nico without saying anything more.

The man hugged his wife. Nico did not feel bothered or expelled Reana at all. However, for some reason, what Reana said as well was fixed on her.

"We go back to the apartment dear," said Nico and immediately seized the bag that was being tipped by Reana.

The girl immediately held Nico's hand with both of her hands. Reana shook her head. There was no intention of going back to the apartment where Nico didn't want him anymore.

"Why? I think by going back to the boarding house, you can be calmer. I'm just following your wishes. I never kicked you out. You are also not a problem for me. Then why go to mom's place" replied Nico.

"Because ... because .. Kak Nico doesn't want me anymore" Reana said, crying sobbing.

"Who said I didn't want you?" ask Nico wonder.

Nico hugged his crying wife. The man hugged while rubbing his wife's arm so that Reana could be calmer. The scene became a heartwarming scene for the students who saw them from the upstairs room.

They witness how Nico snatches Reana's bag and the girl tries to hold her back. The students called each other when they saw the debate between the husband and wife. They are moved when Reana is pulled into Nico's arms.

"I'm sure Kak Reana feels insecure with Kak Nico because it has been tarnished" said a student.

"Yes, but I think Nico doesn't care. Brother Nico still wants to defend Kak Reana, "the other replied.

"May they unite again. Hopefully Kak Nico will accept the lack of Kak Reana," said another student who took a peek.

"Yes, but pity them too. Reana could not give up her honor to her husband and also pity Kak Nico who finally got her ex. Malvin–"

"Hush already, you talk like that makes my mood so erratic. Give no solution, but add to the sadness," said another.

"Look look, Brother Nico kissed Kak Reana on the forehead. Brother Nico must have succeeded in persuading him," said the student who was still busy observing.

"Sister Nico persuaded what?" 

"To his apartment is certain."

"Aren't you planning on going to her apartment?" ask the student.

"No! Reana passed Nico's car just like that. It seems like Kak Reana wants to go somewhere else but is forbidden by Kak Nico," explained the student who was solemnly observing.

"Oh so."

The student was right, Nico managed to persuade Reana back into her apartment. Seen after kissing Reana's forehead, Nico inserts Reana's travel bag into the trunk of his car. Nico opened the car door for his wife. They drove to Nico's apartment.

"We'll get breakfast first, baby. You haven't eaten yet, have you?" ask Nico.

"I was already in …."

Geez it turns out I did trouble them, Inner Reana.

The girl bowed, again remembering that Cut Anisah forced her to eat breakfast this morning even by bribing her. Now Reana just realized, she did nothing since returning to her room if not told. The female students took turns asking about her condition and doing the tasks ordered by Cut Anisah.

"Geez! I'm not saying goodbye" said Reana frantically as she held her head down with both hands.

"I'm ready, even in a hurry. But later if you want, we can visit again, yes baby," said Nico.

Reana turned her head towards Nico who was driving. If you hear the words of Nico who is still friendly to him, Reana will not feel that Nico has dumped him. Reana felt overwhelmed to hear Nico's words that still used affection on her.

Maybe it's just a habit. Maybe he didn't mean to say that himself. What about Shafira? Brother Nico said he was very sorry to her, Inner Reana wondered.

The girl looks so moody again. Nico turned towards Reana who bit her lip. Nico felt pained to see Reana do that considering her lips were still injured.

What the hell's going on? Where did those wounds come from. Did Mr. Malvin really did that to Reana? Did Mr. Malvin could hurt Reana? Is he the abuser***deviant? Violence before doing that? Geez, what a pity Reana is, Nico's mind is sad to think about all those questions.

Upon arriving at Nico's apartment immediately hugged Reana. The pity towards the girl was more pronounced now since seeing Reana who was living like hopeless. The man cupped the face of his wife who was still shadowing the blue.

He used to take care of my wounds. Now that he was injured, was it possible for me to ignore him? Inner Nico asked.

The man smiled, recalling the first time he had a bruise on the face hit by Mr.'s bodyguard. Malvin. It was then that Nico first managed to kiss Reana, on purpose and the girl sincerely accepted. Recalling that Nico immediately buried his lips into the lips of the beautiful girl. Reana immediately groaned in pain but Nico instead laughed.

"What's it like to kiss with an injured lip? You laughed at me that time" said Nico.

"But it wasn't me who asked, Nico's injured lip was actually Nico's sister who wanted to kiss. It's different from what I am today" Reana protested. Nico laughs more and more at Reana who has started protesting against him.

"If I hadn't been hurt then, you wouldn't have accepted my kiss. Precisely because I was injured so you pity and want to accept it otherwise? I must have been rejected outright" replied Nico reminiscing about the past.

If you think about him again. Reana is very difficult to conquer. If it wasn't for Reana's kidnapping, Nico wouldn't have been hurt and the girl wouldn't have treated him. Nico won't get a chance to kiss Reana for the second time. But it was the first kiss they made consciously.

Remembering that, Reana smiled. Reana is committed to Nico's decision. Seeing Nico still recalling their old memories, it was impossible to accuse the man of turning away from him. It looks like Nico who does not want to lose those memories, as well as Reana. Therefore, from now on the girl resigned, as she had said before. Reana will leave if it's Nico who wants her to go.
