Secrets of the Former (Love Left Behind)

Ninety Five

"Wait for your parents' blessing."

Gantari's answer was just a touch to make the look of Nevan's face turned bitter. He remained silent for a long time while looking ahead. However, then he turned the wheel and turned the direction.

"Where are you going?" ask Gantari.

Nevan turned, then smiled faintly. "Take my blessing."

Gantari breathed in deep. He expected it.

Along the way Gantari just silent while squeezing his own fingers. Taking the blessing that Nevan meant, he could already guess it and again Nevan clasped his hand. It still feels heavy, but at least this time Gantari no longer passes it alone.

"Come," Nevan cautiously invited when he arrived at the spacious grounds of the family of Fauzan Ismail.

Gantari who was watching the three-story mansion turned her head and looked at Nevan doubtfully.

"I'm with you, Dihyan." Nevan looked at Gantari softly, then smiled reassuringly.

Their relationship should be fine now. Last time, Tiwi even hugged Gantari on the day of her funeral. However, it is not that easy to change a relationship.

Tiwi has always expressed dislike for Gantari. For a long time, Tiwi never considered the existence of Gantari. Since long ago, Tiwi became one of the people who wanted their separation. For Tiwi, Gantari was a splotch on the canvas she was dyeing wholeheartedly and the canvas was named Nevan.

"Assalamualaikum, Ma?"

Tiwi who was tidying the dining table suddenly twisted her body and immediately her smile expanded to see the arrival of the only son. However, his smile gradually faded when he saw Nevan not coming alone, but with Gantari.

Tiwi's eyes couldn't pretend they didn't see Nevan's hand clasped with Gantari's.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," Tiwi replied awkwardly.

Nevan comes forward and kisses the mother's hand, while Gantari chooses to remain in her place.

"You guys just sit down. Let Mama finish this first."

Nevan nodded in agreement, though she knew the job of tidying the table was almost done by their housekeeper.

"Where's dad?" ask Nevan before moving on.

"work. As usual," replied Tiwi bitterly.

So you're eating with the housekeeper again? Nevan only smiled faintly, then turned back towards Gantari.

"Later Mama's phone. Let Papa go home," said Tiwi, then he turned his gaze when his gaze accidentally collided with Gantari's gaze.

Nevan, who had turned her head, nodded. Then, with a disc he grabbed Gantari's hand and pulled her up the stairs to the room.

"Why what?" whispered Gantari when she was right in front of the door, then released her hand from Nevan's grasp.

"Look at my room. Never seen it, have you?" answer Nevan lightly. Then, grin with a sinless look.

Gantari frowned, then wildly looked at the situation.

"No, ah. I don't want to look."

Gantari turned her body about to move from there, but Nevan hunted down to pull her hand again, to enter the room. Then, Nevan casually closed the door and overstretched the door with her body.

"Dion, don't mess around, yes," threatened Gantari on standby.

"One of a kind?"

"Dion!"

Nevan couldn't bear to not burst into laughter. I don't know since when flirting with Gantari became a fun thing for him.

"Joking, Honey."

Gantari just cheated. Working on it at times like this feels really horror. However, then Nevan held Gantari's shoulder, then turned slowly the woman's body, facing the bed.

Gantari. This was indeed the first time he had seen Nevan's room while single. He never had a chance to see all of this. His eyes slowly combed part by part of the room dominated by white color.

Nevan's room seemed free of picture frames, but instead there was a row of award charters framed on the wall. There is also a cupboard that is crowded with trophies and digali.

Unknowingly Gantari walked over and observed the charters of the award up close.

Sporty.

Arts.

Mathematical olympiad.

National ... level debate?

Gantari turned her head quickly at Nevan with a frown.

"Disputation?"

Nevan did not answer. He just smelled a smile. "You have nothing to lose having an accomplished husband.

Gantari rolled her eyes lazily. "Pantes."

"Pantes what? Pantes you baby?"

Aih! Buccins. Gantari snorts and wants to pinch Nevan's waist, but Nevan catches her hand.

"Listen, Dihyan," Nevan said with a look that had turned serious. "Maybe we were too young to understand, but now we are adults. Now we can fight harder. Now our view is also broader." Nevan breathed slowly. Letting their eyes go deeper.

"Although, I can't promise happiness at all times, but I can promise that you will always be my ultimate goal."

Gantari's lips trembled withstanding the cries and without caring anything else, she burst into Nevan's arms. She held him so tightly and let her tears drip.

"Come, we'll start again, Dion."
