Nathan And Aira

Nathan And Aira
No. 23



Bratama drove his car with a medium speed, a smile and occasional laughter from behind his luxury car, how not today enough to make him happy like he won the lottery.


Nathan gave his money only to him and it was a lot more than Hendra promised at the time.


Ting, uh,,


His phone rang making him shrink annoyed as if disturbing his happiness.


With one hand that only reached into his suit pocket he instantly shifted the green button and raised it.


" Hello who is this "Say without looking at the phone screen.


" Waw, start daring you "


Bratama rounded his eyes and immediately saw the screen of the phone that turned out to be Hendra who contacted him.


" I'm sorry Mr. Hendra, I think that pranksters are calling because at the end of the day so many people are calling just to offer credit cards, but Tumben is calling once, there must be something What I need to Help "


" Just right away, What about your Nephew is he getting married to me."


Degs..


Bratama was silent, he was confused to answer his debt even in Hendra was still a lot,, he was confused,,


" Bratama, you're still there aren't you ?"


" I-yes Still Sir,, "


" Hahahaha, How.. I really like your Nephew, she is very beautiful, you take it easy if she wants to marry Me, she said, All your debts I consider paid off even the money I promised at that time will still be given."


" Mister Hendra is calm, I'll definitely ask Aira to come to your place as soon as possible."


" I'm waiting because I can't wait to marry your niece."


Bratama kept his phone,,


Now no longer a smile on his face but he had to think hard how could Aira come and marry Hendra or debt debt will be more and more especially Hendra always reminded if there is interest every month which continues to increase.

Nathan still accompanies Aira in the park,


although Aira was no longer crying but still clearly her sad face, sometimes even her hands were still wiping away the tears that were still dripping.


Nathan kept looking at him, though,,


Tight, poignant, it felt like seeing the woman in front of him crying for some reason and that Nathan himself did not know.


" We go home now, it's night "Nathan said but Aira shook her head she still wanted to be there.


" But it's night and the wind is cold."


Aira is not flinching,


he continued to sit there staring straight at the thought of going somewhere until Nathan took off his body and put it on Aira's body.


Aira looked,,


" You'll get sick if you only wear clothes like that."


It had been almost an hour they were there, Nathan faithfully accompanied Aira ..


" We go home now, if you stay here you can get sick"


Aira was silent but finally nodded,,


Nathan takes Aira to a parked car not far away.


" Thank you " said Aira as Nathan opened the car door.


Nathan walked around and sat in the steering wheel, the car drove down the night road.


There was no chatter, Silent and the two just stared straight at the streets.


Nathan occasionally glanced at the silent Aira sitting beside him.


The car that drove smoothly arrived in front of the Apartment, but when Nathan turned his head he saw Aira who was sleeping there.


Nathan kept looking at him, though,,


Still visible traces of tears on Aira's face, his hand raised to wipe him but he paled because he did not want to disturb him to sleep.


With Nathan slowly carrying Aira's body, a bit of distress but finally Nathan can bring him inside.


Aira seemed comfortable, she leaned on the chest of Nathan Field and succeeded in making Nathan stop his steps.


Nathan walked back to the apartment, and,,


Slowly Aira's body lay on the bed,,


His hand turned to take the Jas that Aira was still holding, but Aira was getting firmer even now hugging Jas.


Nathan sighed and let her go, he just pulled a blanket to cover the body of the girl who was now at peace with his dreamland.


Nathan left him, though,


he walked out and sat down on the sofa, breaking down his slightly tired body.


His hands were massaging his temple with his eyes closed.


The shadow where Aira was crying in the garden kept spinning in her brain and mind, Aira seemed very disappointed with the reality she had received all this time.


In the stay of both parents, living with Uncle and Aunt who did not love her at all even they used her all this time really makes Aira hit.


Any girl must have given up very much if she was in that position but in contrast to Aira who seemed patient and cheerful living her life so far.


Derr..


Nathan opened his eyes as he felt a tremor in his pants pocket.


" Hello "Nathan said when he saw that Seno was the one who contacted him.


" I'm sorry Sir if I'm presumptuous, Are you okay because until now you haven't been home."


" Good God, Tonight I'm not back, I'm in the Apartment because Aira's not feeling well, And please send me my clothes and breakfast tomorrow for us."


" Okay, sir,, "


Nathan hung up the phone and put his phone on the table, he leaned back.


Every day meeting with many Clients, Staff , working on all the files makes his body feel so tired.


Nathan put his body on the sofa and closed his eyes.

It was almost morning but Bratama still could not sleep, Her thoughts continued with how Aira could return home and stay with them because it was easy for her to get Aira married to Hendra as she promised.


Aira will do whatever she says.


" Well, haven't slept yet" said Melisa


Bratama looked and shook his head.


Melisa sat up, and,


she knew her husband was thinking about something.


" What do you think, is there a Maslah in the office ?"


Bratama shook his head,,


" Why not sleep this morning "


Bratama looked at Melisa,,


" Mister Hendra called Papah again. "


" A-What, he didn't collect that debt Kan Pa ?"


Bratama sighed,,


" He asked Aira to marry him or pay the debt we owed the interest."


Melisa shook her head,,


even if they have to pay the debt, they can be greedy and live on the streets.


" Well how's this Pa, Aira now with Nathan and the money that Nathan just transferred, how's that Pa ?"


" that's also what Papa was thinking, How Aira can return to this house first and after that we can only ask her to marry Mr. Hendra. Aira will obey if he is already in this house and the money problem that has entered, however it is not we who ask for it but Nathan himself who sent the money."


Melisa nodded,,


" Did Papah think of a way ?"


Bratama was silent,,


He thought of something, To be able to make Aira come back without Nathan interfering with their problem.
