Paper Dove

NANDES: SCANDAL 1

" What's the job to do?", I drowned my face in her hair. It became a habit for me.

" Yes of course. This is not a matter of money dear, life with you alone has made me rich to death, Dew replied innocently to make me laugh out loud.

" So you like rich men like me?", I teased him.

The dew looked at me meaningfully "I like you and your account".

I laughed again and kissed her cheek.

" I love my job baby", Dew continued after I let go of my anxious kiss on her.  

The television in front of us was showing scene after scene of a comedy film. I wasn't focused on the television, my eyes and mind were only looking at the Dew. 

" Do I have to build a hospital for you?", I said casually.

" no. Don't ever do that. I just have another wish as our wedding gift", Dew looks at me.

"Say", I'm waiting.

" Can your company cooperate with Cendrawasih Health Center. In order for me to participate in their activities and keep the organization functioning as it should?", Dew hoped.

I looked at him wonderfully "That's all? No other requests like diamonds or expensive bags?".

" Ah there's one more", Dew looked at me with sparkling eyes.

" Yes, tell me what you want to buy" I stroked his head.

" There's one kid I used to foster there. I want to send him to school. Is it possible?", Dew linked his hand like he was begging towards me.

I raised next to an eyebrow in bewilderment and astonishment at his request. But this is my woman, a kind woman. That's why I like him.

" good. I'll grant you all your requests", I smiled. 

" right? Promise?", Dew raised his little finger.

" Yes, I promise", I hooked my little finger on her.

Monica broke into my office and put her ipad on the table. “ Again?”, Monica lays herself on the sofa as usual. I picked up the iPad and read the Headline. CEO committed violence at YB club.

“ CEO HITS HIS EX-LOVER WHO IS A MODEL INITIALS N. CEO APPOINTS EX-LOVER AFTER VIOLENT”, I take a deep breath. In the midst of my busy wedding, news like this appeared.

“ The title is not important but look at the scattered photo is Nandes. I think Dew will hit you when you go home later”, Monica laughs happily.

I saw every photo on the news. I remember the photo, the photo when Nadia came to the private room at the YB club and Dewun came and then there was a misunderstanding. Nadia has arranged everything.

I called Rian and gave him orders. 

“ Rian, fix this problem as soon as possible. I wait at YB”, then I hang up. My face is red with anger I'm so upset. Soon my parents will call and scold me.

A video Call came in and made my heart almost unplugged because I saw the name Dew on the screen.

“ Hi babe”, I changed the water of my face. Monica scoffed from the direction of the sofa.

“ Hi yank, you come home at what time?”, Dew asked cheerfully. Elsa sitting next to him waved her hand at me once.

“ Oh then today I will shop for some items for our wedding. What color do you like? Gold or Silver?”, Nyerocos Dew.

From the way he spoke I was pretty sure he hadn't read the news. I smile “ Whatever you choose I will agree”.

“ Alright, I will choose gold color. Okay bye deh babe”.

“ Yes Bye. I love you”, I stared at the screen.

“ I love you too”, Dew reply and call disconnected.

Alex, who was in my room, clapped. “ Crazy, it turns out that's our CEO. Incredibly, it turns out that our CEO can smile shyly like everyone else. Awesome.. wow...”, Alex kept making fun of Monica's happy laugh at finding my weakness.

“ Shut up. Come with me to YB. Monica please take care of Nadia. I don't like being rude to women”, I asked Monica for help.

“ Okay. But in my way”, Monica played her nails as if she was giving her terms.

“ Yes. Just do”, I give permission.

My father called, I let out a long sigh “ Yes hello father”, I replied politely.

“ Son, you will soon be married. How could such a scandal come to the public. How will the Dewun family respond? You're with a woman on your lap? Oh my boy, I'm dizzy with your behavior. Want to put where mom's face when she met Dewun”'s mom, my mom who spoke first.

“ Mother news it is not true. I...”, haven't finished talking my father's face has already appeared on the screen.

“ Quickly take care of all those problems Nandes. Pity Dew if you see the news. I didn't educate you to hurt women. Visit with Dewun soon. Dining together at home”, my father spoke more wisely.

“ Good dad”, I submissive.

After the phone disconnected I stood up and walked out of the room. My phone's ringing, there's a call coming in from Alex.

“ Hello?”, I replied while pressing the elevator button.

“ Come, I found the rat”, Alex spoke flat.

I hung up the phone and got into the elevator with a flat face. These dirty rats dare to disturb my composure, it seems like I show my fangs less in public.  

“ YB”, I said briefly to the driver and the car drove away from my office page.

I walked into that room. The door closed behind me, making the frenetic song dim. A half battered man was kneeling towards the sofa. I went in and took a seat on the sofa facing the man. 

Next to me sat the owner of Club YB who was equally anxious about the man. Maybe he thought I'd close his business with just a snap of a finger. Alex was sitting on the other side, his hands were slightly bleeding and the blood was of course from the man kneeling in front of me. I poured the drink quietly, sipping it a little while waiting for something. The atmosphere was silent, no one spoke including Alex. It seemed like he was tired from hitting the man.

A few minutes later Monica came in with Nadia behind her. Nadia's eyes were covered in cloth, a Monica bodyguard removed the cloth when it was next to the kneeling man.

Nadia's eyes widened when she saw me “ Nandes... Nandes... not me..”, Nadia ran and rested at my feet.

Rian quickly pulled Nadia away from my feet. Nadia rebelled, Rian grabbed her arm “ Shut up. Miss calm down, you know the nature of Master who does not like noise right?”, Rian snapped at him. Nadia instantly fell silent, her body trembling in fear.

I blamed my cigarette, sucked deeply and exhaled the smoke into the air. I stared intently at the man “ What if you just die? ”.
