Not as Red as Dusk
should compete?
Rico ran as soon as he heard the news of the incident the other day. Even Asih couldn't prevent it from scattering into Esta's room.
Rico: Esta!?
Rico's voice surprised him. He was sitting in bed. The man in front of him looked so anxious. Hurriedly approached him.
Rico: how are you?
Rico checked Esta's situation. Is anyone hurt. Esta smiled instead. Seeing Rico so worried made his heart feel warm.
Rico: why smile?
Esta: I like your expression
Rico glaring.
Esta: I'm fine
Rico: thank goodness
A warm hug from Rico. Makes her heart so comfortable. This guy's. It is the center of his life.
Rico: I'm very worried
Esta: I know
Rico: then who saved you? even Kai
Esta: she's why?
Rico: until now unknown whereabouts
Esta fell silent. She remembers how serious Nick was when he asked Tomi to finish it. What mean?
Rico: how did you survive?
Esta: someone helped me. She saw me when Kai dragged me to the club
Rico's eyes instantly warmed up. Hands clenched. He blames himself for what happened to Esta. If only he hadn't stayed overnight again. If only he had finished his business with Kai back then. If he hadn't left Esta alone in this country. Suppose that...
A warm touch resuscitated Rico. Esta's hand held it.
Esta: it's not your fault
Rico down. He felt very embarrassed in front of Esta. His lover. Even he is unreliable.
Suddenly Esta hugged him. Gently rubbing Rico's back.
Rico: we have to meet that guy
Esta: yes?
Rico: the one who saved you
Esta: what?
Rico: I have to say thank you in person

The weather was pretty clear today. Not too hot.
The car carrying Rico and Esta drove through the streets of town B. Towards a fine restaurant there.
Esta: this?
Rico: we're going to lunch
Esta: isn't this place too fancy
Rico: I'm going to introduce someone, he just happens to be in town
Is he your friend?
Rico shakes.
Esta: cousin?
Rico's back just shakes.
Rico: he's an important person to me
Although Esta kept wondering. But keep following Rico's steps. Entering restaurant.
A waiter greeted Rico kindly.
Rico's view swept across the entire restaurant. Looking for someone who is waiting for him.
It's there!
His hand was tightly grasping Esta's hand. Take him walking towards the table a little at the end. Two men were sitting there. Awaiting him.
Rico: sorry to keep you waiting
She's she? Nick's?
Esta sculpts. His eyes looked straight at Nick. What kind of situation is this?
Rico: Esta. Come here
Esta. Then walk after Rico. Nick and Tomi.
Rico: this is Nick, my brother
The brother?!
Rico: you guys know? ah.thank goodness
Esta: he was the one who saved me
Rico: really? you really did it, Nick?
Nick: just happens to be in the same place
Rico: I'm glad to hear it, at least you're not someone else
Nick: yes, I am not someone else
Throughout the journey Esta was more silent. Just answer as necessary. That's if Rico asks.
Rico: what are you thinking? you think about Nick?
Esta: eh?
Rico: don't worry, even if the appearance is so. Nick is a good guy.very good
Esta: is she your sister? aren't you an only child?
Rico: we're one father brothers
Esta: so

While on the rooftop where Rico stayed.
BRAK!!!
Rico slammed the door so hard. Her chest feels hot. His hands clasped as if holding his emotions with all his might.
Nick: why Rico
Tomi: sorry boss
Nick: you don't know?
Tomi: Esta does not have many friends, so there is no information about her lover
Nick: if it was someone else. I could have taken it. But this is Rico. do I have to give up?
.
.
.
Rico knocked on Rico's room door. She decided to stay at her brother's place after driving Esta home.
Nick: Rico!
Tomi: mr. Rico, please come in
Rico caught a slightly strange situation. An uncomfortable feeling.
Rico: did something happen?
Nick: no. Just finish your college. hurry up and become a doctor
Rico laughing.
Rico: even this is only the second year
Nick: when are you back?
Rico: the day after I left
Nick: your college is good
Rico: don't worry, I won't waste your hard work
Nick: rancid boy
Rico: hey! I'm old enough now. Don't call me a boy. I even have a girlfriend
Glug
Nick: yes. girlfriend. since when did you date? are you keeping it a secret from me?
Rico: the story is long. he's my high school friend.I was immediately interested as soon as I saw him
I see.the girl was indeed so eye-catching.even by me too.
Nick: you've been keeping it a secret all this time
Rico: I don't think it's that much of an interest to you, so I rarely talk about it
Nick: rarely?
Rico: I mentioned it a few times before, maybe you don't remember
Nick: really?
Rik: why are you so interested? is there anything I should know?
Nick: no
Rico: Esta. good girl.I know her.her family.
