One thing that is hard to control! Yes, feelings.

Nic came out in the Khanza behind him after the meeting was over. They decided to take a moment off while eating lunch at a nearby cafe.
Nic frowned at the food Khanza ordered, "you only eat Za fruit?" ask Nic wonder.
"Hem, I'm on a diet." Khanza replied while eating a fruit salad in his message.
Nic looked at Khanza's posture which was a little filled, but not at all fat he thought, "don't push yourself too much, it doesn't matter that fat is important you are healthy." Khanza only nodded in response.
Ringing a mobile phone diverts Khanza's attention, he picks up and then attaches the flat object to his ear.
[Halo Khanza, are you with Nic?] ask the caller.
"Yes." Yeah." Khanza replied slowly. Nic looked curious.
[You told him about your decision?] ask again.
"Not yet." Khanza replied in a low voice.
[Try you think about Khanza again, your decision will greatly affect him, considering you are his closest person after us.]
"Let's talk again." Khanza said he was still not ready to say it, he had to put the right words together so that Nic understood the decision he took.
[Okay] the phone connection was cut off.
"Who's calling?" nic asked, looking curious.
"Nobody" Khanza refused to answer.
Nic must bury his curiosity, because Khanza is reluctant to answer.
"Nic, are you happy with Miss Cherry?" khanza asked with a serious look.
"Emh, yeah good." Answer Nic.
"Thank God, I can calm down." Nic threw a questionable look.
"No papa." Khanza shook his head while smiling softly.
After lunch, they resumed their activities, doing a lot of work.
The night they returned home together, Khanza accidentally stopped at Nic's residence without his knowledge, now he was in Richard's office, which was accompanied by Shelia.
"Khanza are you sure of your decision to move abroad? Even here your position is no lower than there, even higher." Richard said as he looked at the piece of paper in his grasp.
"I'm sure, sir, now that Nic has grown up he's been able to make wise and correct decisions. Nic is getting married, I'm afraid his wife will be jealous to see me always stalking him wherever he goes" Khanza chuckled softly.
"It's okay, I'll leave after Nic gets engaged." Khanza replied in his eyes looks heavy, but he still had to make the decision, considering that his stomach grew bigger as the fetus developed in his womb.
Richard had left the room, leaving Khanza and Shelia. Shelia who had just been silent, now looked at Khanza as if she knew the contents of the woman's heart. It was as if he was glaring and exploring the heart of Khanza.
"Go, if it makes you feel okay. But I need to say again, be honest with him, why did you sacrifice? Khanza you're also my daughter, I don't want to side with anyone on this, if you want me to say-" Khanza cut out Shelia's words by shaking her head.
"No Mami, I would be a selfish person if Mami continued Mami's words. Let me remain your second child, if I say what I feel for Nic, what my relationship will be with him, let me remain his sister and best friend." Khanza shed tears, Shelia approached and carried Khanza in her arms.
"Why are you keeping my mouth shut like this, son?" Shelia also sobbed, making Khanza unable to hold back her tears as well, they cried for a long time.
"It's enough don't cry anymore, you'll report it?" Shelia took off her arms and wiped the remaining tears on her cheeks and on Khanza's cheeks as well. Khanza nodded as he developed a smile on his face.
Shelia holds Khanza's arm and leads him to the dinner table, where Nic and Richard are.
"Khanza, I thought you were home?" Nic is surprised to see Khanza coming with his mother.
"Why is this his home too, he can come and go as he pleases. Eat a lot, baby." Shelia filled Khanza's plate with all the dishes served.
"Mommy is favoritism," grumbled Nic, putting on a look of annoyance.
"Let you have Cherry, and it's spoiled with her." Shelia refused to care. Although Nic said so, but actually he was just joking, in the bottom of his heart he was very happy to see the closeness of Khanza and also his Mom.
"But Cherry is not as pretty as Mami. I want it to work with Mami." Nic's words suddenly startled everyone and turned to him simultaneously.
"God, where did he learn those words?" Shelia clasped her chin with her palm while looking at Nic with a look of wonder mixed with mischievous.
"It looks like our iceberg is starting to melt Mami." Khanza added that everyone's laughter immediately echoed in the room, except Nic.
"Well Nic, it looks like women's influence is starting to work on you, son. You used to be cold to Daddy, but look at it in an instant you can change, just because it's a woman," Richard sighed lightly as he shook his head softly, "but remember your mom belongs to Daddy!" richard's words make Nic snort, while Khanza and Shelia just giggled to respond.
"When have I changed? I think I'm still the same as I used to be, right Za? Anyway I'm a mediocre man, where there's rich ice cubes." Nic's complaint did not accept being told coldly by those closest to him, even though for him it was still fairly normal. He just can't express everything in a word. And again Nic is not good at hanging out with new people, in contrast to Khanza who he thinks easily know other people.
"Okay, maybe what Mr. Richard said is true. Back when I first met you your face was like this." Khanza imitated Nic's expression first.
"What?! I'm not so!" Nic's rebut did not accept, making laughter again broke out between them.
"That's so, you're the one who doesn't realize!" Khanza. Failing already Nic recruits Khanza to side with him, his position is increasingly cornered and he eventually falls silent with a sour face.
Nic eventually becomes the subject of the banter of Khanza and Shelia, but of course Richard did not want to miss the rare opportunity to prank his son.
"After you get married, maybe or not we can joke around like this again, Nic." Richard's words made Khanza and Shelia stop her laughter, while Shelia put on a flat face that seemed sad.
"Mommy." Khanza rubbed Shelia's shoulders while smiling hoping that what he did would cheer her up a little.
"Mommy, I'm still not getting married, that's a long way off. Anyway, to be honest, I don't want to get engaged yet." Nic turned his eyes the other way.
"No Nic, the news has already spread this engagement still has to be direct."
