PATCHOULI & VANDAM

49

Nilam looked at the man in front of him. He remembered this man who had helped him.

"Are you the man who helped me?" ask Nilam again for not getting an answer.

"You must be wrong Miss, it's not I-I'm sorry I have to go" said the man after getting a sharp glare from Vandam.

"Wait, I'm not done yet!" call Nilam, but the man does not push away, leaving Vandam and Nilam.

"You know him?"

Nilam nodded, "He was the one who helped me when Fandi forced me to get in his car."

"Who's Fandi?" ask Vandam pura do not know even though Vandam knows if the man named Fandi is the son of his business rival.

"Don't divert the question, now be honest. Big brother must have asked that guy to follow me, right?"

Vandam smiled, "Not trailing but guarding."

I don't know why Nilam felt his heart beating so fast when Vandam said that.

"Now tell me who Fandi is?" tanya Vandam broke Nilam's daydream.

"He's my friend."

"He likes you?"

Nilam nodded, "But I don't like it."

Vandam smiled, "Don't get too close, he's a little dangerous."

Nilam frowned, "What kind of danger?"

Vandam brought his face closer, "Maybe do the things I used to do to you."

Nilam's eyes widened to hear Vandam say, "I don't want to" he said with a scared face.

Vandam smiled and stroked Nilam's head, "It won't happen, I'll always protect you."

I don't know what this feeling is but Nilam felt comfortable and calm when Vandam told him that.

Nilam finally hugged Vandam and Vandam's laughter immediately erupted, "When you rejected me."

Nilam was embarrassed to let go of his embrace but Vandam did not let that happen, Vandam held Nilam's body to keep holding him.

Both of them hugged for quite a while.

After the hug came off, the two became awkward.

"I have to go home now brother." Pinta Nilam.

"All right, I'll drop you off now."

Both of them got out of the club and entered the car.

"Have you heard from Riki?" ask Nilam.

"Last I heard he got fired."

Nilam was surprised, "Then now?"

"I don't know anymore, it was 2 years ago."

"I miss them." murmured Nilam.

Vandam laughed, "Do you miss being tormented by them?"

Nilam let out a long sigh, "After Dad died, they're all I've got."

"Well, if you want when I can drive you home to meet them."

Nilam stared at Vandam, "But I don't want to trouble you brother."

"If you don't want to, go home by yourself."

"But I'm afraid." admit Nilam.

Vandam laughed, "You're confused, are you still afraid that I'll do something to you?"

Nilam nodded, though,

"If so, don't come near me. You'll be safe."

Nilam let out a long sigh, for some reason it felt uncomfortable when Vandam told her that.

"Don't you have a new boyfriend?"

Vandam smiled, "Why do you want to know? Are you jealous?"

"No of course not! I'm just asking!" sentak Nilam's.

"All right, I'm just teasing you. No need to be angry." Vandam laughed again.

Now both of them have arrived in front of the Nilam cake shop. Without saying anything, Nilam just went down making Vandam laugh again.

Just wanted to drive forward his car, Nilam re-opened the car door, "If Big Brother is not busy stopping by, I'll make coffee."

"I'm offering this because Brother is kind enough to take me, don't think like that!" added Nilam and then closed the car door again.

"Why did he get so worried like that." muttered Vandam finally got out of the car and entered the Nilam cake shop.

"Lho is not you..." Nisa is surprised to see Vandam enter the store because she remembers that Vandam was the man recorded on the cctv.

Nisa was more confident when she saw Vandam's wrist that had been bandaged.

"She's my sister, there's no need to worry" Nilam said directly to Nisa.

Vandam sat in one of the customer's chairs, before how long the coffee made by Nilam came along with several types of cakes.

"Your shop is getting more and more successful." praised Vandam.

"Sister gave me the way, otherwise I wouldn't have had any of this."

Vandam smiled, "All I remember is me always making you cry."

Nilam clucked, "Have it, don't discuss the issue again. I've even forgotten."

"You forgot me?"

"It's not like that." Nilam was nervous.

"It's so sad, forgotten by-"

"I want to help Nisa, sister just enjoy the coffee and the cake." cut Nilam and leave just like leaving Vandam who immediately laughed.

It was late in the afternoon, the shop was closed but Vandam was still sitting in his place even though his coffee and cake had run out.

"I went home first" said Nisa and then left the store.

Nilam and Vandam are still in the store.

"So don't go home?"

"You kicked me out?"

"Not that." replied Nilam did not want to misunderstand "I have to go upstairs to take a shower and have dinner."

"I'm coming, I haven't had dinner either" said Vandam confidently straight up the stairs without waiting for Nilam's permission.

After the bath, Nilam invited Vandam to dinner in the balcony room.

Vandam seemed to enjoy his dinner because he had not eaten Nilam's cooking for a long time.

"How did you get the lock on my balcony door?" ask Nilam curious.

"From the owner of this place."

"Well, I almost forgot it was my brother who brought me here."

Vandam smiled, "But I won't jump again tonight."

"Why?"

"Because I've met you in person like this."

"Then if I don't want to see you again?"

"I'll jump as usual to see you." vandam replied making Nilam's cheeks blush, blushing in embarrassment.

"I'll change the lock."

Vandam laughed, "Just do it, I'll still get in."

After finishing dinner, Vandam helped Nilam wash dishes and accompanied Nilam to study until it did not feel like it was 10 pm.

"Sister didn't come home? Doesn't my sister work?" wonder Nilam saw Vandam still relaxing in his room.

"You're kicking me out again."

"I didn't throw out, just asked." Nilam protested.

Vandam smiled, "I'll go after you sleep."

"But if you're still here, I probably won't be able to sleep" Nilam said.

"Then what should I do? Could it be that I should accompany you lying down?"

Nilam's eyes just glared, "No, I'll sleep alone!" nilam said he lay on Vandam's back and before long Nilam was asleep.

"When he himself said he couldn't sleep if I was still here" muttered Vandam and smiled amusedly.

Vandam immediately left, this time he did not go through the balcony of the room but through the main door because Vandam had all the keys to the door in the Nilam cake shop.

Vandam entered his car, the road was deserted but Vandam had seen a motorcycle user just passing through it.

Unsuspecting, Vandam drives his car away from Nilam's pastry shop.
