Sweet Bet
30. Be Always
For the rest of the month before the UN, the friends in one Genk, namely Nena, Lulu, Nouval, Ardi, Phillip, Dika and Ivan carry out their daily routines as usual.
Come to the school gathered at the Terminal then walk to the school and when the School Home will walk together towards the terminal, then separate.
the difference is now the addition of Silla and Sinta.
Not infrequently in one week they will gather in the afternoon or evening to learn and play together.
Arriving one day one month before the UN, Nena got a phone call from Om Tanto - his Papa Nouval who asked Nena to meet him in his office. Papa Nouval told him not to tell Nouval.
At first Nena felt astonished, but still followed Om Tanto's will and went to the office without Nouval's knowledge.
Arriving inside the office building Nena conveys her purpose to the receptionist. Then Nena was escorted to the CEO room of PT. Tantowi Corp. The Papa Nouval.
"Please enter... Oh, Nena come on in. Please sit down"
"Excuse me, Happy Afternoon Om.."
Nena said her greetings then took place on the single sofa in the office room.
"How are you Nena? oia, congratulations on your outstanding scholarship. I'm proud of your achievements."
"Thanks Om. But I know whether to take it or not."
"Why?"
Nena recounted if the scholarship she obtained only met the full tuition fee & Dormitory Fee during her education at SMU - Singapoure, But meals and accommodation and others are not included.
"It's not hard if I have to take it Om, it's as bad as Dad and Mom. I'm thinking of taking a lecture here at work."
"Nena, what if I make an offer?"
"What offer is Om?"
"You take the scholarship, then for your living expenses for 4 years there I will bear every month.only 1 condition from me."
"What's Om's condition?"
"Help Nouval to concentrate on helping my business skalian his own study."
"Of course I'll help you."
"I was planning to send Nouval to America, but he refused, because he took care of his cafe and worried about my health. whereas me and his mama know, he was heavy on you."
Deg.
Nena's heart seemed to want to be dislodged hearing papa's words from her boyfriend.
Does this mean I was told to break up from Nouval huh? think Nena.
"I'm not asking you to break up. I'm just asking you to help each other for your future. Just focus on each other with each study for 4 years."
As if he could read his thoughts, Papa Nouval continued. Nena just fell silent trying to digest papa Nouval's talk.
"Om I mean, during my time with Nouval in college... We didn't have any contact with each other?"
"It doesn't have to be like that, now the age of technology, you can certainly still connect through social media.. only if you have to meet each other during the holidays, it will definitely interfere, right?"
"Ooooh... Om, for 4 years Nouval in America and I in Singapoure... We can not visit each other and can not return to Indonesia huh?"
Om Tanto smiled at Nena and nodded his head.
"Where?"
"Om.. Can I talk to my parents first? I will tell you my decision"
"Nena, Monday next week your father will start working again at my company even though he does not occupy his former position and he also only signed a contract for 5 years working as an auditor for my company. Can you leave it to him the result of your decision?"
"Good Om.. Then excuse me, Happy Afternoon Om."
Nena stood and crucified Om Tanto's hand and walked towards the door, before opening the door Nena turned and spoke confidently
"Oia, the Nouval will definitely put the interests of Parents and Business first rather than his own interests really."
"How can you be sure?"
"if she's not, how would I want to date her. Excuse me Om"
Unknowingly Mr. Tanto laughed to himself in his office.
-------------------------
While in the evening in his room Nouval impatiently waiting for his papa to come home from the office. From the afternoon she wanted to talk to her father straight away after getting word from Vian and Phillip about Nena just getting out of her papa office. And Vian recounted the results of Om Tanto's talks with Nena that made Nouval a big anger because according to Nouval Papanya intends to separate Nena and himself.
"For so long is the turn awaited? Pa, what do you mean call Nena to the office? what the hell do you want papa?"
Nouval bombarded his papa with questions, while the papa could only be stunned for a moment.
"Well, can you sit down and have some tea? ato eat first, laper here."
"Drink Tea aja. eat it later together, Nouval also blom eat. Skarang replied Ngapain Nena on call without telling me?"
"You're told you know Nena? why isn't Nena talking to you?"
"Dih. papa ribet deh. I know from Bang Vian and Phillip. Anyways if I go to Nena, where she wants to tell me"
His answer made a smile mark on his papa's face, and Nouval noticed it and continued his question
"Don't smile smile.now answer, why tell Nena not to meet me for 4 years? Papa didn't kasian ama his son if moss how?"
"Kalo sampe moss, means your own fault.kan karang not to the past if mo call kemakan ama roaming phone, now cheap video call. Then Papa salut ama Nena, he is sure you are the same if you can survive for the sake of parents and company. Papa himself hesitated to you. If you're really like he said, right your 22nd HUT, Papa will propose to him."
"...."
"You're quiet? What's the next question?"
"Can't apply now? So Nouval brangkat college crada like that."
"Buahahahahahah.... If you want, are you sure Nena and her parents would accept your proposal?"
"Duuh.. the Papa why the heck meddle in the affairs of children?"
Nouval was frustrated with his own thoughts. Then her father continued his conversation
"You guys keep together, you can't see the outside world with all its problems. But if you part for a moment when you are not in a state of struggle, you can deepen your feelings for each other and the Science you have gained is also a lot."
"OKAY. I have a word papa said. Right 22 years old me Papa must lamar Nena."
"Papa Promise. But. if he has no partner yet huh"
"Pa...."
Nouval could only hiss at the joking of his papa.
--------------------------
"Nen, what are you doing? some days I give you a chance to be honest, but it seems you are not honest intentions to me well?"
Nouval spouted the anger he had been craving for days while en route from school to the terminal, deliberately holding Nena back from walking with him in the back.
"About what?"
"You go to my dad's office and talk about us without talking to me."
"You're angry just because of that? Honey, I'm not being dishonest, just finding the right time..."
"When that? After UN, a moment before you broke up? Trus, are we hanging?? I DON'T WANT TO. POINT"
"we're thinking about UN first. If your UN value is higher than mine.. I'm not going to Singapoure. But if my grades are higher, can I take a chance on my future?"
"..."
-------------------------
The announcement of the UN results has come out, the results as predicted Nena confirmed her position as Queen among IPS children beat Ridho.
"So, are you staying with me so?"
"Well right.we are the same as leaving.no one is left behind. It's only 4Year, it won't feel."
"You want to see another guy?"
"That means a Nouval's charm has faded."
Nena answered and got a friendly pinch from Nouval.
