Taint

Between Grey and Nadhea

Kaivan sat pensively on the edge of the bed, thinking about Luna's attitude that did not appreciate Nadhea at all. He was very disappointed because he was not much different from Nadhea. The advantages of just reliably photographing, will not guarantee the future if the family does not embrace. On the other hand, Kaivan was also convinced that Nadhea had a slight advantage. Perhaps, a hobby called Luna 'wasting time', that was Nadhea's ability. However, it is unfortunate that the family does not support, it cornered him.

"It should have been a moody time, perhaps ..he was thinking about his family" Kaivan murmured as he recalled his encounter with Nadhea in Rinjani. The brain thin girl who he thinks has a double personality.

Soon, Kaivan remembered one thing. Then, he took his phone and started surfing the internet. He found out about the novel 'Wings-Wings Broken' which the last few days had forgotten because of the case of Romantic Resto.

Broken Wings is a sad-romantic novel by Grey. It was first released in the Sweet Story app with a total of 100 chapters. It is now available in print and digital books.

Wings Broken is a novel that tells about the life path of Aruna Gita—a poor girl who is always neglected. Because he is not intelligent, he is cornered by his family, even his hobbies are strongly opposed. He dropped out of school and got married at a young age. Aruna wrote her life story in a novel. Unexpectedly, his novel sold hard and was won by a publisher. That's when he had the chance to channel his hobby—painting. Ganbar's cover in his book is his own painting.

"This description .. whether Nadhea's true story." Kaivan stared fixedly at the screen of his phone. "I'm going to read the novel" he continued.

With a quick movement, Kaivan installs the Sweet Story app and searches for the Broken Wing novel, which turns out to be the most popular novel there. Before reading, Kaivan first clicked on the author's profile. Under the image of Mount Rinjani, Kaivan can read his name and bio.

'GREY, not a writer with a college degree. Don't ask about education, white gray I had to cancel halfway.'

"This writing is simple, but I feel a great sadness in the action" Kaivan said.

Kaivan had not had time to read the first chapter, suddenly his hearing caught the azan, apparently already entered magrib time. While exhaling violently, Kaivan turned off his phone and headed for the bathroom.

After performing the prayer, Kaivan and Luna went downstairs. They went into Prawira's room and saw that her condition had improved, but she was still limp. Rania and Prawira seem misbehaved when Kaivan invites her to talk. Although they did not ask directly about Nadhea, they understood that Kaivan already knew.

After a long conversation, Kaivan, Luna, and Rania get ready to go to the dinner table for dinner together. While Prawira, he rested in the company of a servant.

Arriving at the dining table, Kaivan looked at Nadhea, who was helping Bi Mina arrange dishes at the table. The woman smiled when she realized her presence.

"Who accompanied Papa?" ask Nadhea.

"Bi Surti." Rania answered briefly

Nadhea nodded and then pulled up the chair. Then he sat there because all the dishes were on the table. Not long after, Arsen joined. So, each took food without talking much, just a mere pleasantry. A moment far from the word harmonic. Kaivan's whole life, never felt anything like that in his family.

Half an hour later, they finished their meal. Nadhea and Arsen left the dining table, while Luna and Kaivan were still there with Rania.

"When did you start the preparations?" rania asked as she looked at Kaivan and Luna in turn.

"Preparation__"

"It's not long, are you married. Planned before when?" concluded Rania because Kaivan seemed not to catch his point.

"I'd be happier if Auntie talks about Nadhea, no matter how she's Aunt's son and I'm Aunt's son-in-law. If it's like this, Auntie's impression doesn't consider us, "the inner Kaivan behind her smile.

"Where will you plan to prewed?" Rania asked again. He tries to find a topic of conversation so Kaivan's attention is not focused on Nadhea's presence.

"I'm up to Luna, Auntie." Kaivan. "Mmm, Auntie, I'm going to the bathroom for a bit. Luna, I live first, yes," he continued.

"Yes." Yeah."

Kaivan stepped into the bathroom not far from Nedhea's room. However, the room was tightly closed and Kaivan was very relaxed because he did not know that it was Nadhea's room.

In the bathroom, Kaivan washed his face while pondering. The attitude of Luna and her parents today presents a little doubt in Kaivan's mind. A feeling that slightly disturbs the sense of love that has long reigned.

"Hopefully in the future their attitude can be better so that I do not doubt this relationship" Kaivan said.

After his heart calmed down, Kaivan came out and rushed towards the dining table. However, his steps came to a halt after passing through Nadhea's room door. There was a voice that stole his attention.

"Isn't the world too narrow, Bang Kai? Our third meeting ... was very unexpected" said Nadhea from behind Kaivan.

"You___" Kaivan turned his head, but could not say many words.

For a few seconds the eyes of the two of them clashed with each other, until finally Kaivan realized one thing.

"Grey, author of the novel The Broken Wing. Is that you?" ask Kaivan quickly.

Nadhea chuckled, "You're a lover of novels. But ... No, your guess is too far."

Kaivan did not say, just looking at the eyes of Nadhea who was full of confusion. In addition, he was also looking for answers that Nadhea was being dishonest. Really, Kaivan firmly believes Grey and Nadhea are the same person.

"If your future wife wasn't Luna, I would've made a promise, Bang Kai." Luna resuscitates Kaivan's daydream.

"Don't be crazy, you're married" Kaivan replied.

"Have the Broken Wings not been read to the end?" ask Nadhea.

"What___"

Kaivan's speech came to a halt due to someone's presence.

Seriate...
