Niko could not hold back her anger. He went to see George at his apartment. When
George opens the door to Niko's apartment and slaps her. "You stole my plans!" Goerge smiled without guilt. "What do you mean?"
Niko knew George was pretending not to know. “My work for Tiffany contest. The Dream Forest. You stole it from me."
"You can't just accuse me," he replied lightly. “You have proof that I stole it from you? I could have the same idea as you."
"Why are you doing this?" Niko challenged George fearlessly. "We both know you're using my designs for this contest."
George slowly closed the door to his apartment. "I don't have to explain anything to you. Besides if you have any evidence, I don't want to be accused of anything else."
Niko looked at George's closed apartment door. He knew he could not prove The Forest Dream was his work, because he never told anyone that he made the design. He is also unlikely to enter a contest with the same design work. The only solution is to create another. But it's two days left. Niko spent five days making her first necklace. He did not know if he could make another necklace within two days.
Niko entered her apartment building limply. His face looks not excited. As he looked at the papa sitting in the lobby, his face grew even more moody.
"Relic." Papa stood up to greet his son.
"What are you doing here?" Niko was too tired to argue.
Papa saw his son's fatigue. Niko's face was pale, under her eyes there were dark circles a sign of lack of rest. "You okay Niko?" ask papa to worry.
Niko decided not to answer. “Papa hasn't answered my question."
"Father was invited to attend a medical seminar in New York." Papa walked closer to his son. "Papa thought while papa was here, papa decided to look at you." "Mama's not coming?" ask Niko.
"I'm doing fine. It's just that today wasn't my best day. Papa's going upstairs?" "If you don't mind," replied papa.
Niko pressed the elevator button. Shortly after, the elevator doors opened. "Let's go up."
After they reached the apartment room, Niko asked, "what would you like to drink?"
Papa shakes. "Do you want to answer papa's question now? You okay?"
"I think, as a doctor, you can diagnose yourself." Niko sat in the living room chair facing papa. "I'm tired. I'm sleep deprived. Is my diagnosis correct?"
"You're still mad at papa." Papa asked the question of his son.
"Yes. Papa hasn't taken my calls in two years. Do you think I have no right to be angry?" Niko was upset.
"Papa still thinks you made a mistake. Look at you now." Papa actually wants to make up with his son, but the one that comes out is even anger. "You said you were happy with your choice, but right now you don't look happy at all."
Niko took a deep breath, trying to hold back. "Papa hasn't given up on it in two years? I can't fight anymore about this. Especially not at the moment. Papa better leave before we both regret our next words."
"All right." Papa stood up and walked out of the door of Niko's apartment with emotion.
As soon as his father left. Niko lay in her bedroom. His eyes looked at the star ring that was on his palm. Suddenly the rain came pouring down her bedroom window. Granules of water flow alternately in the window of his room. Niko got out of bed. An idea began to appear in his head.
