Not as Red as Dusk
birthday
A box was already sitting sweetly on Esta's bed. Just got left for the bathroom. Maybe Asih put it down.
Just a quick look. Then Esta walked towards the dining room.
Asih: there's a miss's delivery
Esta: yeah, I'll see you later
Looks like swiss
Switzerland? is Rico? why suddenly give a gift? this is not his habit.
Esta was standing next to the bed. Sitting slowly. Pull the box towards him.
Still saved question mark why this package from Switzerland? Rico's?
A branded bag inside there are more surprises. Memories of his time with Rico. Really am. That guy is so romantic. He knew something like this was very touching on his girl's feelings.
Whatisthis? a box? the ring?
Esta grabbed her phone that was above the nightstand. Looking for Rico's contact. Make calls. There are a lot of things he wants to ask. The ring? How could he give such an expensive thing.
Esta: what kind of things did you send?
Rico was slightly surprised to hear Esta's rising voice.
Rico: do you like it?
Since when do I like expensive things?
Rico: I want to give it to you after a long time
Esta: where did you get the money Rico. do you work part-time?
Rico: that's how it is
There's no way I can honestly say that I bought it out of Nick's pocket money. Esta must have rejected it. I know very well the nature of my girl.
Esta: it doesn't have to be like this, it's not important to me
Rico: did you forget?
Esta: eh?
Rico: isn't there a birthday tomorrow? the gift came early
A birthday? tomorrow's? ahh.truly tomorrow is my birthday.even I just forget. how he remembers.is not this unfair
Rico: happy birthday. I know you must have forgotten right?
I mean, I never celebrated
Rico: and always refused my gift
Not before you make your own money
Rico: please accept my gift this time
Esta: just this once, not even with the ring. this is too expensive Rico
Rico: that's actually...
Esta: what?
Rico: I was going to propose to you, but I haven't been able to go home yet, so I gave you the ring first
Esta: what?
Rico: you don't like it?
Esta: no. that's not the other one you talked about just now
Rico: I proposed to you

BRUG!!!
Which other power pole is blocking my way
Esta raised her face. Seeing the figure in front of him. Nick's?
Esta: what are you doing here? the campus? it's impossible for you to go to college, right?
Nick smiled.
Nick: no. Your face is funny
Esta approached Nick. Being a detective is not like a detective. Look around. Looking for the possibility of a girl who passes the criteria to be Nick's lover in the future.
What did this stupid rabbit do?
What kind of woman do you like to be in this school? which was?
Nick, that's what you think
Esta nodded. Nick kept watching Esta's behavior. Make it get free entertainment.
Nick: come with me!
Without being able to refuse. Nick's hand was holding his hand tightly. Take him walking off campus. Towards parking.
Nick took off his grip. Open the door for Esta.
Esta: where are we going?
Nick: come with me
Without much question, Sta. Come in and sit in the front seat. Watch the path they are going through. But still unpredictable. Where's Nick taking her.
The car stopped at a hotel. Esta looked straight at Nick. His mind was full of strange things about the hotel.
Nick: why look at me? you don't think we're gonna check, do you?
Esta rounded her eyes. Almost dislodged. But keep following behind Nick.
A fine restaurant on the 5th floor of the hotel. Not even a single visitor came except for her and Nick.
Will it test the guts? why so quiet?
A waiter prepares a chair for Esta. allowing the two to sit down.
Esta: what's filming a tv show?
Nick: what?
Esta: this is more like a guts test.like the show on tvXX
Nick smiled. It turned out that Esta's mind was completely unpredictable.
Esta: in what order?
Nick: you're the one to the point huh?
Esta: that's how it is
Nick: it looks like today there is a birthday
Esta: is this your birthday?
Nick patted her forehead.
Why is Esta this stupid? just wait! plain and stupid are thin
Nick: it's your birthday. I want to congratulate you and treat you to a meal
Esta: really? I think you're having a birthday too
Nick: no. do you like it?
Esta: honestly, I've never eaten at a fancy restaurant like this. This is my first time.thank you

Nick turned Esta to the front door. Deliberately did not stop by because there was still a lot of work to be done. In 3 hours he had to fly to Singapore for a job.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Nick glanced at Esta. But the girl was indifferent. It looks like it's waiting for Nick to take the initiative.
Esta: uh. are you going straight home?
Nick: well, I have a job after this
Esta: so
Nick grabbed his pants pocket. I want to get a gift there. When Esta started telling stories with sparkling eyes.
Whahuh? so then...Rico proposed to her? give because of the ring?
Am I too late? no more chances?
Nick has given his gift to Esta. After hearing the girl's story about Rico giving her a ring to propose to her.
Nick: then I go home first. once again congratulations.may what you aspire to be immediately praised in the future
Esta: thank you
