They were talking while eating dinner, "Nic, is it true that nothing strange happened there?" ask Richard to make sure.
"No Dad, everything went as it should, only I was a little drunk at the time but outside of all that, everything was fine. Cooperation has been agreed, only the signature of the contract remains." Nic said on the sidelines.
Richard nodded his head, "really Mr. Madam, nothing serious will happen as long as I am with Nic" Khanza said.
"Are you right, so stay by his side." Shelia.
Uhuk... Khanza choked on the food that was slid freely down his throat because it was out of control because of what Shelia said just now.
"Ehem... Sure, as long as I'm healthy I'll try to do my best." Khanza neutralized his voice.
"Alright, finish your meal, you better stay here" Shelia asked.
"I don't think so, I haven't been home in a few days, I miss my bed." Reject Khanza.
"Oh it's up to you, but let Ren take you this night" said Shelia.
"It's okay, Madam, I'm used to it." Reject Khanza again. For some reason the girl always refused what Shelia gave her, her overly reserved and polite attitude sometimes made Shelia uncomfortable.
"You're too proud, I've taken you to be like the Khanza family," Shelia sighed, seemingly touching Khanza's heart was no easy feat. This girl always fortified herself with her polite attitude.
Shelia knows very well what the Khanza family is like, which is why Shelia decided to take Khanza out of her family home when she graduated High School first at the request of her own father. Too loving, but unable to protect that father Khanza, born Khanza who considered a disgrace made him always suffer and treated badly by his stepmother.
Nic was the first to realize that when they were in the Children's Park. However, Khanza was adamant that he would not leave even though his father had told him to leave. For not being able to see his son always being bullied. Khanza's father had no power or power in his family, because his wife was the one in power.
"Thank you" Khanza smiled sincerely.
Shelia smiled back.
"You're not thanking me?" Nic without looking.
"Yes, thanks to you too." Khanza added, chuckling. Nic smiled faintly.
After that Khanza returned home, because Shelia forced him to breed to take Ren to his apartment.
"Miss Khanza are you living alone?" Ren asked on the sidelines to drive it.
"Yes, I live alone." Khanza answered while propping up his chin staring blankly at his sparkly night in the city.
"Emh, does Miss have a boyfriend?" Ren ventured to ask, he glanced at Khanza from the rearview mirror.
"No." Khanza answered briefly densely and clearly, as if he did not want to discuss unnecessary things with the man in front of him.
"Sorry have I been too presumptuous?" Ren felt bad.
"Hem, just relax Ren." Khanza.
'I don't have anyone I like, but I realize I don't deserve him enough.' Khanza exhaled a rough breath.
'If only I could tell you how I feel about you. But somehow when I wanted to try to express it, my courage was lost in the wind, I do not have enough courage if you refuse me. However, I'm happy to meet the fact that you're still alone, this is more than enough for me.' Ren nodded with a faint smile.

Khanza looked at himself in the mirror, everything that happened last night is still fresh in his memory. He touched his lips, Nic's soft lips as if still warm on his lips, distorted thoughts immediately popped up, milling in the brain like a movie trailer.
Immediately Khanza washed his face, "shit! What am I thinking." Khanza is holding his own head. The pain felt in his personal area is now starting to feel again, Khanza walked slowly to the bed, from earlier he tried to hold it and walk as usual. I don't know why something seems to be stuck down there making it walk like straddling.
'So it's like this the pain of losing virginity. But, last night, ah. forget it.' Khanza broke down and drowned himself in the blanket. However, after a long time he closed his eyes, he did not go to sleep, his sleepiness did not come.
Ahhhh....!! Khanza ruffled his hair furiously, "why can't I sleep?!" He glanced at the wall clock that showed the time at 1:30 in the morning.

Elsewhere, Nic was lying on the bed with his right hand as a cushion. While his left hand was playing a star-shaped pendulum necklace that was hollow with a star shape in the middle, that part was deliberately removed. That's what he gave Cherry first.
'Does he still remember? It's been a long time since we split up. Is her smile the same? Beautiful and innocent, soft and charming.'
He recalled the incident this morning when he and Khanza were at the hotel, 'What really happened last night? I can't even remember it clearly. However, the sense of comfort when I woke up it felt like only this time I felt.'
Faint shadows last night appear in Nic's memory but only limited to pieces of the picture.
"Sitt! I really did." Nic breathed a heavy sigh.
"Suckers. You're a fucking Nicholas guy, how can you do anything else to Khanza, he's your only friend." Nic gets up and sits down, he picks up his cell phone the clock shows at 02:00.
'Khanza how are you?' A short message He sent on the name there.
"What I did, he must be asleep by now." Nic throws his phone, but at once his phone reads a sign of incoming messages.
'I'm good.' Fill in a message from Khanza.
'great. Go to sleep, don't let you have bad luck, tomorrow there's a meeting.' Nic sent a message back.
Khanza retorted back, 'you haven't slept?'
'Not sleepy.' Nic's Message.
'Sleep, don't stay up too much. Good night.' Khanza retorted for the last time.
Nic puts his phone back on and settles down.
Somehow after last night his heart was not good, he was afraid Khanza would tell his parents if they had had sex. The love that He wants to pursue will probably stop in the middle of the road, can Khanza keep this secret forever? Nic's mind just keeps raging until it makes it difficult to get drowsiness.
"Here Nic is, he just didn't mind last night, why do you keep thinking about it. You've grown up things that are natural to happen." Nic muttered to himself.
