Not as Red as Dusk

homecoming

A call from Pradipta's father. Esta picked him up immediately.

Esta: hello dad

Dad: it looks like your daughter is fine. Dad is very happy

Esta: daddy's daughter is very good

Father: thank goodness.How is your husband? I can't wait for a new family member

New family member?

Dad: don't you want to give me a grandchild?

There was laughter across there. Make Esta's heart warm. Even a clear grain flowed in the corner of his eyes.

Dad: I miss you so much

Esta: so is Esta. How is dad?

Father: aaah..what else do you think? dad spent his old age waiting for your grandchild

Stop teasing me dad

Dad: yes, tell Nick. occasionally visit dad. would be very fun

Call ended. Esta's tears flowed unstoppably. From the way the father spoke it was clear that he was very lonely.

did Aunt Sinta not take good care of you dad?

Nick approached his crying wife on the sofa. Holding it from behind.

Nick: what makes you cry? who the hell was talking to you?

Esta raised her face. Both of her eyes were red from crying. Really am. Nick could not bear to see the state of the wife as it is today. The rubbing of the remaining tears that were still melted on Esta's soft cheeks.

Esta: dad asks us to visit him once in a while.

A hug Nick gave to Esta. It's been true for almost a year. They never returned to the city.

Nick, I'm gonna ask Tomi about my schedule.we're gonna go visit Dad

Esta: really?

Nick, I really mean it

In the car to the office. After attending some meetings for today.

Tomi looked to be leaning on her body. Sighs deeply.

Nick: can you help me Tom?

Since when do you have to ask the boss for permission?

Nick: I want you to find my father-in-law's information

Tomi: mr Pradipta?

Nick, I think something happened to him

Tomi: ready boss

A funeral. In front of the tombstone bearing the name Ricardo Kusuma (Rico). Esta put a bunch of fresh flowers there. Swiping a few times the writing on the gravestone.

Riko...

you don't have to worry about me

Nick took good care of me

you're not disappointed in me, are you Rico?

be happy there

your place in my heart will never be replaced

Nick smiled when he saw his wife walking towards him. Yep. He takes Esta to visit Rico's grave. Her sister.

Nick: you feeling better?

Esta: yes

Nick: how's my brother?

Esta: why don't you visit her grave?

Nick: I have my own reasons.don't think too much

A car takes the two to Nick's mansion. As soon as he saw Esta enter the house. Nick is back in the company. There's a matter to be discussed with Tomi.

Tomi hurried to the office. There was Nick waiting for him with anxious hopes. What Tomi said in her phone earlier. Makes her feelings unsettled.

Nick: what did you find Tom?

Tomi: bad news boss

Nick: say

Mr. Pradipta resigned his post just months after Esta and Nick were married. Sinta also left him. And when it's down, Kai takes a chance. Diverting shares over the company into its name. Not just that. Even some properties owned by the pradipta master also changed hands. He now lives in the city of S. In the house Esta used to live in. Her daughter.

There he began a new life in a simple way. Relying on income from some leased property. Accompanied by a servant named Asih. Yep. She was a middle-aged woman who also looked after Esta back then.

Nick: so many things have happened over the past year.it must have been very hard for him

Tomi: sorry my negligence boss. did not monitor his condition as long as we return to Zurich

Nick: you're too busy with your women

cih...what now are you insulting me boss?

Nick: I told you to get married. Find a nice woman who will take care of you

Tomi: I'm not that old boss yet

Nick: does he still have a place in your heart

Tomi: don't mention him again boss

Nick: not all women are like him. Open a new page

Tomi: I told you not to mention about him anymore.sayat will not be disinclined with you

Nick asked some waiters to prepare Esta's needs. They seem busy. Even Tomi from yesterday afternoon was already at Nick's residence.

will he stay here too?

I can't bear to see her bringing a different woman home every time

Tomi: you noticed me too long madam

Esta: cih.you realize it.

Tomi: do you want to ask me something?

Why are the servants busy? why are you here too?

Tomi: we're going to town S tonight

Esta: home? has he?

Tomi: you can confirm it to Nick's boss
