My Dad Turns Out to be Eyes

26

And after a while of waiting, Nathan finally went back inside the room. He had seen the blanket on the front sofa earlier as he passed by and just picked it up.

"Food, come." Nathan said briefly, pushing his laptop away to get room to put the pizza on the table. He opened the lid of the pizza box and handed her the blanket he had brought. 

"This. blanket. I got it off the couch outside. Wear it! The night is usually going to be very cold here." Nathan tried to tell Jessica while pointing at the clothes Jessica was wearing. "Your current clothes are too minimal and will definitely make you cold later."

Instead of being angry or upset over her clothes in the criticism, Jessica chose to nod her head in agreement. At first, he was wearing these clothes because he only intended to enjoy a drink at the cafe. He knows that there will be a big man who will shoot a gun at him.

Jessica picked up the blanket Nathan gave her and placed it around her shoulder to cover her body.

"Thank you" he told Nathan, who was immediately responded with a nod by Nathan.

Now Nathan is focused on the pizza that's in front of him. Actually he also felt very hungry because he did not even have lunch because he had to monitor this girl.

Nathan doesn't know why he sacrificed himself to starve for this girl. He's never even been like this in his entire life. Nathan has never cared so much about anyone else. What because of his pride in front of Robert who had already dared to underestimate himself. But is it true because of that? It's not even like Nathan in the usual because Nathan would choose to ignore if anyone would condescend or belittle him.

"So...who owns this list of secret agents..Do you think they did this to my Macbook?" Jessica asked Nathan again to break the young man's daydream.

"Yes, I think it's like that" Nathan replied as he continued to open the pizza box in front of him

Jessica smiled bitterly. "I just. I mean, so somebody wants me dead. Someone wanted to hurt my father by making me hurt..."

"Yes, it's possible" Nathan said to her, biting off a slice of pizza that was in his hand. He chewed the food while turning his body to face Jessica. "If they want to hurt Robert, what better way to do it than through the girl he loves so much?"

"Yes, that's right." Jessica nodded her head in agreement.

"Although it's true that she's not officially connected to you. You know because his name isn't in your personal data. In addition, his name is also not listed on your birth certificate because at that time he was not aware of your presence. But those people can still find you." Nathan muttered in wonder.

"The secret that Robert had been silent all this time could easily be known to them. This means that this is between those who have an above average ability to find out or Robert who has done something careless by making you exposed." Nathan continued with an emotional look.

"What is that you think?" ask Jessica

Nathan nodded and continued his sentence. "And I also know that all this time Robert has done everything possible to keep you away from anyone who intends evil on you."

"Yes, as far as I'm concerned, my father has always protected me. But for this matter, someone has managed to find me!" Jessica said in a small voice. He lowered his head again. "I don't know what they'd do to me if you weren't there. I mean, am I gonna.yes."

"It's better not to think about it at this time" Nathan told Jessica. "Honestly, don't worry anymore."

"Alright, but my point is, right now you should focus on calming yourself down. Try not to remember anything terrible." Nathan gives his advice while pushing the pizza box closer to Jessica.

"Eat!" nathan said to the girl.

Jessica smiled and nodded then moved to pick up a slice of pizza.

After that conversation they finally drowned in silence. The two eat quietly before Nathan returns to retrieve Jessica's Macbook. He focused on typing something on his laptop. 

"You're going to investigate again?" ask Jessica.

"Yes, of course. I told you before, no, that I wouldn't give up." Nathan said with a cynical smile.

Jessica smiled wryly, "Alright" he said.

Nathan continues to focus on his work while occasionally biting the pizza in his hand. He keeps switching between his laptop and Jessica's Macbook. Nathan does his best to try to figure out and 'follow the trail' of the hacker. 

Jessica just stayed in place, choosing not to say anything waiting for Nathan's activities. He listened to the sound of Nathan typing his keyboard before he finally felt sleepy and slowly fell asleep in his chair.

The next thing Nathan felt was when Jessica's head fell to the side, hitting his shoulder. The girl had already completely fallen asleep in her chair and now her head had been leaning completely on Nathan's shoulder. The blanket Jessica was wearing fell down. Nathan who saw her silent for a while before then his hands moved, he intended to have Jessica get up and keep her head off her shoulders. 

But he didn't do that.

Something in his heart stopped him.

And Nathan doesn't even know what kind of feeling this is. A feeling that the mind cannot explain. It was simply too complicated for him to explain about the feelings in his heart at this moment.

Care about?

Feelings of sympathy?

Or what? Nathan doesn't understand either.

And at this time he chose to move his other arm, which was freer to pull the blanket that had fallen down. Nathan pulls her up, intending to cover her around Jessica's shoulder.

The girl's hair was tickling on Nathan's neck but the young man was unperturbed. He chose to continue working in the middle of the night, before slowly closing his eyes, falling asleep with his back leaning and arms crossed, still continued to allow the girl's head to butt onto her shoulder.
