Oh My Saviors

Chapter 21: Something that is important

Nic had been sitting behind the wheel preparing to drive his car, Khanza came in and sat in the front seat.

"Safety belt." Nic reminded me. Khanza immediately put on his seat belt after hearing Nic's words.

Silent, only the roar of the car engine was heard, the road seemed to be slow because the time was already late at night. Khanza was silent to make Nic also silent, he was confused to start a conversation from where to melt the atmosphere.

Until an idea came out in his brain, "Za you remember no, you used to be great at playing basketball, we have not played for a long time. We'll play yuk again sometime!" Khanza simply replied with the word Hem. Nic keeps chattering and so does Khanza he just responds to it the same way he did before.

Without feeling the car had stopped on the plataran Nelson's family home. Nic turned to Khanza, apparently the girl was asleep maybe she was exhausted because of the work earlier. Nic stared at the plain face, a clean white face, plump eyelashes, and thin pink lips. Suddenly a voice appeared in his brain, kiss him. Unknowingly Nic followed the impulse of the voice, he leaned closer and looked at Khanza's face up close.

The voice in her heart said, Beautiful! Khanza's warm breath gently touched Nic's cheeks, making the urge in her heart even more passionate.

Let's kiss her, kiss her!

Nic was about to link his lips to Khanza's, but suddenly Khanza's eyelashes moved, indicating he had woken up from the sound.

Degs... At once Nic returned to his position while cursing himself in his heart.

'You crazy Nic, what are you doing?' Niggling Nic to himself.

Khanza blinked his eyes, his eyes were spread in any direction, "we're up to Nic? Ah, sorry I overslept." Khanza massaged his temple which felt a little throbbing.

"Stay here, it's night." Nic did not answer Khanza's question, but even though it was not answered, the situation was plastered in plain sight.

"Hem, okay." Khanza answered short.

Nic comes out first and Khanza follows him. They entered the house, the house looked dark and quiet, only a few lights were lit at the end of the room.

Nic climbs the stairs to his room, and Khanza does so, their rooms facing each other.

After changing clothes Nic laid on the bed, there was a strange feeling in his heart for Khanza what else when he was about to kiss her earlier.

'What's wrong with me? This feeling is different from before, could it be that I like Khanza? But, how can it be?' various questions arise instantly to make Nic confused himself.

'If I like Khanza, then what about Cherry?'

***

Geck...Geck...

The sound of knocking on the door did not make Nic wake up from his sound.

"Nick!" Call Khanza, but there is still no truth from within.

Khanza opened the door and went inside, looking Nic still rolled with his blanket. His sleep seemed as though it was still dark.

"Nic, wake up, it's noon. How long are you going to sleep?" Khanza shakes Nic's shoulder to wake him up.

"Let me sleep for a little while." Nic muttered in a hoarse voice, his eyes still tightly closed.

"Nic, Mr. Nelson is waiting for you downstairs. She said you you haven't said anything to her yet." Khanza said in a flat tone.

"Huh?" Nic is still not fully aware.

As soon as Nic fell silent, his originally closed eyes were now perfectly open, "I-I didn't say, last night my father was asleep so I haven't talked about it." Nic.

"Yes, you wake up." Khanza passed out of the room and closed the door again.

Nic sat down, "could you Nic, what excuse should I wear this time. Jealousy makes you stupid."

After taking a bath and wearing formal clothes, Nic went down and joined the dining table for breakfast. There's Richard, Shelia and Khanza of course. Nic's gaze stopped on Khanza, she looked beautiful this time She scrunched her hair and braided it a little at the temple.

"Nici, Khanza said there's something important you want to talk to Daddy, what is it?" Richard asked while eating his breakfast.

"Ah that-," as Nic's brain spun hard in search of something that he hadn't told Dad yet, "that's about our new model Dad, our company, Daddy remembers he's our neighbor in the old house." Richard seemed pensive as he might be exploring his own memories.

While Khanza he seemed to frown, and Shelia he just kept quiet.

"Daddy remember, is that all you want to talk about?" Richard gave no expression.

"Emh, yes. That's it." Nic smiled awkwardly.

"You want my blessing, for your relationship?" Richard asked suddenly, making everyone instantly gasp at his words.

"Darling, I think it's too soon. Let them enjoy youth first" Shelia tried to prevent Richard from talking about it for now.

"Why? Nic is an adult, he's also working, in any case Nic is well established. After all, he was old enough to get married" Richard added.

Nic was silent, actually this is not what he wanted, he just made Cherry as an excuse, but Richard responded differently.

"Bring her in front of me, I want to see what she looks like?" Nic just kept quiet, but he still nodded in agreement.

***

The roar of the car engine broke the silence, boisterous streets accompanied their journey until they reached the office.

"Khanza do you think I should take Cherry to see my father?" Doubtful, worrying is what Nic is feeling right now.

"Why are you asking me? You're the one who's gonna be in a relationship with him." Khanza replied without interest.

'So this is an important job that you told me last night, hmph.' Khanza murmured inwardly.

He went out first and waited for Nic to walk ahead of him. As usual, they are welcomed by employees. This is a branch company that Richard deliberately let Nic take care of.

That afternoon Cherry came to the company to meet Nic.

"Darling!" He hugged Nic. Nic simply replied with a forced smile, to be honest he was reluctant to meet Cherry at this time.

Khanza who happened to be doing work in Nic's room could only look away from him in the other direction.

"Cherry, take care of your attitude this is the office. I'm at work." Nic complained as he looked towards Khanza.

"But I miss you, Nic, why didn't you pick up the phone last night? You didn't return my message either." Said spoiled Cherry.

'Why is this woman so spoiled? He wasn't like this yesterday?' Nic was astonished.
