Nev was frenetic and this was the second time Grandma had seen his granddaughter acting like this.
The first time Nev acted like this was when he was sentenced to paralysis. Nev was angry and tempramental.
However, over time, Nev was finally able to accept the circumstances and return to living his life well.
And now? Why did Nev have to be like this again after Raya's departure? Does Raya have a big impact on his life?
It's been two days, Nev hasn't been to the office, always angry when he gets a call, but outside of that he's been quiet as if he's been thinking about something.
"Nev, we eat, yes" said Grandma trying to persuade Nev who seemed to have no passion to do anything.
"Nev wants Raya, Grandma..." That's the only sentence that Nev always utters every time he's spoken.
"Nev, don't do this. You're ignoring your own health" Grandma said again.
Nev shook his head slowly in lethargy, showing his lackluster attitude.
"Nev wants to eat with Raya" he replied again.
"Oh, my God, Nev .. How old are you now? Don't be such a broken-up teenager, Nev!" my grandmother reminded him.
But Nev ignored his Grandmother's sneer, he turned his eyes the other way.
Seeing Nev shut up, Grandma tried to talk again.
"Trust, Nev. Grandma did all this for your own good..."
"What's up, Grandma?" nev interrupted. "Maybe Grandma thought Nev would be happy after this?" Nev smiled wryly at the end of his sentence.
"That's a big mistake! (That's a big mistake!)," sizzled Nev.
Grandma breathed heavily. "If Raya were here now, what would you do?" asked Grandma in her satirical tone.
"See, the important thing is that he's near Nev." Nev replied quickly.
Grandma shakes. "That means you haven't been able to give her a good status. You don't know what to put him in your life. You just follow your selfishness. You don't think about how people look at her," Grandma explained meekly.
Nev was silent, he digested his Grandmother's words in his own head.
"You want Raya to be considered the destroyer of your household and Feli?"
His grandmother's question made Nev's heart melt. "Ten-of course not, Grandma" she replied quickly but stuttered.
"Then, solve your problem with Feli like Grandma suggested."
"But where is Raya now, Grandma? Nev wants to know how he is. Raya needs Nev, Grandma."
Grandma giggled at the thought of hearing Nev's confident speech.
"Where do you think he needs you?" ask Grandma to smile.
"Nev just feels that way."
"That's just your feeling."
"Miss...." Nev did not continue his sentence because his grandmother immediately put her hands in front of his face.
"You have no relationship, how can you feel? It's just your feeling. It's here because it costs a lot. It's not because of you." Grandma quickly slammed, making Nev feel annoyed at Grandma's taunts.
"If you really feel Raya needs you, quickly take care of everything and chase after her," Grandma smiled.
Nev clucked but then nodded his Grandma's words.
"Now, focus on taking care of your divorce, Grandma won't prevent any of your decisions. Grandma supports everything you believe in. Grandma wishes you happiness and no more wrong choices, Nev."
"But, Raya ..."
"Let the Kingdom alone first, if she has more feelings for you, she will definitely wait for you, hmm?"
Nev shook his head in despair.
"Why? Grandma told Raya about your separation from Feli. The rest is Grandma's business. Stop looking for her."
Nev swallowed his saliva very hard. "Nev can't stop looking for Raya, Grandma."
"Whatever it is, you won't get anything out of that quest, Nev." Grandma said quickly.
"Grandmother is hiding Raya?" ask Nev.
Before actually coming out of Nev's room, grandma turned her head once more.
"Eat your food if you still want to meet Raya in good health" said Grandma.
...๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ...
Now Nev really doesn't understand what else to do. His two-day search has yielded no results.
Jimmy who usually could easily help him in the search did not give him a piece of info.
Every Nev asks Jimmy always gets the same answer "Nothing." replied Jimmy listlessly.
Had his condition not been sitting in a wheelchair like now, maybe Nev would not have expected anyone's help, he would have moved on his own because of his impatience to find Raya.
But, Nev recalled his Grandmother's words about stopping looking for Raya.
Is Raya now within the scope of her Grandmother?
Did Nev really have to stop looking for Raya and follow Grandma's advice to leave everything to Grandma?
Of course it can't be. Nev could not remain silent while not knowing at all the circumstances and existence of his Kingdom.
He looked at his cellphone, which was now attached to wallpaper with the face of the woman he was looking for.
Seeing that, instead of reducing his longing, he felt even more frustrated.
He did not know why the departure of Raya so felt crowded in his heart. Is that how deep she feels about Raya? Or this was just an effect due to the habit he used to do with Raya.
Nev recalled the night before Raya left his house. The night they flew the lantern and slipped a wish there.
"I just hope you stay by my side..why is everything turned upside down?" muttered Nev smiling wryly.
"It seemed like the lantern was granting the opposite prayer." Nev suddenly chuckled to himself. He cursed himself who believed in the written hope he had tucked away in the lantern. He had hoped for a lot but now he realized that it was foolishness.๐
(Ask the same God, Nev... not the same lantern๏ธ๐)
"Are you crazy?" someone's voice echoed Nev's words.
Nev looks over and finds Jimmy there.
"Would you like to come here? ask Nev not happy.
"Your mood is really bad." Jimmy sneered.
"You already know that, why is it still coming?" cynical Nev.
Jimmy just chuckles softly, then sees Nev again.
"You should be happy right now, Feli Brnar really don't live in your house anymore."
"Hm..." Nev just cleared his throat because after he told about Feli's actions to his Grandma, Feli was immediately expelled by Grandma at that time.
Jimmy laughed again. "You're not happy? Or do you feel like you're losing Feli now?" jeered Jimmy.
"You know why my mood is broken? One of them is because of your presence in my house."
Jimmy nodded with a smile, fighting Nev was his favorite. Especially if Nev is blood riding, it's really entertainment for him.
"You're still going to find Raya? I don't think it's necessary ka--" Jimmy's words stopped in the air because Nev was glaring at him with a sharp look.
"I'll keep looking for him even if you all conspire to hide it from me" Nev said quickly.
Jimmy chuckled again. "I can't help you this time, bro." she replied.
"You're just like my grandmother. Is your friend actually me or Grandma?"
Jimmy just smelled a smile while scratching his own head that did not itch.
