The Sovereign of the Heart (Bern & Renata)

Chapter 45

“Max, actually Justin and Renata stay where huh? Why haven't they come home yet? They're fine, right?” tanya Nandira began to be worried when her son and granddaughter did not give news. It was already afternoon, but Renata still had not replied to a message from him. As a parent, Nandira was obviously worried. She was afraid her son and granddaughter were out there.

“We wait until later tonight. If there is still no news from them I will immediately report to the police,” replied Max while continuing to check the work. He was also anxious, but preferred not to show it. Nandira could be more worried if she could not hold back, so choose to pretend to be calm even though her heart is not karu-karuh.

Seeing her husband's relaxed response made Nandira feel upset. Immediately he closed the laptop that was being used by Max then looked at him sharply while holding his hand.

“Why else?”Max asked while looking at Nandira. This woman is angry.

“I have noticed since you look calm and calm, even though your children and grandchildren have no news. What kind of father and grandfather are you, Max?” nandira's nagging mind is not over.

“Be calm does not mean not to worry, dear. I'm like this because I don't want to make you panic more. Know?” max tells his wife the reason why he can act as calm as he is now.

Haihh, you little girl. Pretending to be calm is wrong, the turn to panic will be considered weak. It's very difficult to deal with these twin mountains. Gosh darn.

“Tap at least you don't even concern yourself with continuing to work, Max. Companion me. I'm really worried about something bad happening to our children and grandchildren. Hold on a little,” complained Nandira while putting on a face. He needs attention now.

“Ya is here. Come closer and let me hug you,”

“Ck, what do you think I am a child. Remember Max that we are old!”

“Then I have to how now? Work is not allowed, want to accompany you instead say that we are old. After all, what's wrong if parents make a little fun? God is not angry, is he?”

Max laughed as Nandira hit his arm. Finally, this woman smiled too. Hmmmm.

After a slight thaw, Nandira sat on the edge of the table right in front of Max. His mind was again shrouded in questions about the whereabouts of his son and granddaughter. Ever since Renata came to this country, he had never once disappeared. At the most distant Renata will only stay at the hotel, and even that will only happen when Justin is fussy and wants to be outside the house. But now? Renata had not even replied to the message that Nandira had sent since this morning. Who would not worry if he was in the position of Nandira at this time.

“What might Renata stay at her lover's house huh?” nandira guessed.

“Do not carelessly talk, dear. Renata we have never been in a relationship with any man other than with the father of his son,” said Max refuting his wife's conjecture. He then placed both hands behind his head while leaning to the work chair. “But if it was true that Renata was with her lover, I would immediately ask the man to marry her only. Renata is old enough to build his own home. Also in order to give complete status to Justin. You agree no?”

“Sentah, Max. I think it's necessary to check her boyfriend's family background first before asking them to get married. Renata is our only daughter. Can't we just hand it over to just any guy? Renata's status is already having children, but that does not mean he does not deserve a perfect husband in all things. Pity them later!” replied Nandira somewhat objected if Renata should marry a man whose background is unclear.

“Hmmm, yes too. Well, let's ask Renata where he's been since last night. Okay?”

“Alright,”

Drrtt

Just when Nandira finished talking, her phone shook. Soon he saw who was calling and hurriedly picked him up as soon as he knew the caller's id.

“Halo, Renata. Where are you, honey? Why not send a message from my mom? You and Justin are fine, right?” cecar Nandira. She was so happy that her daughter finally called.

“Hello Grandma, this is Justin. What is your grandmother doing?”

Max asks Nandira to turn on the phone loudspeaker so she can hear her grandson's voice as well. It was so easy because the boy's voice sounded cheerful, indicating that nothing bad had happened to his son and grandson.

“Aduhhh Grandma's most handsome granddaughter, now Grandma is still in the office with Grandpa. What are you and your mom doing? Have you eaten yet?” nandira asked excitedly chatting with the granddaughter. So missed. Only one day last night they did not meet.

“Justin is playing with Dad. If Mother ... Mom is working. We all had lunch together, Grandma. Dad said Mom's cooking was delicious. Yes, Dad?”

Max and Nandira look at each other when Justin mentions the word Father. In their minds they were now filled with who their grandchildren called their father. Could it be that it was her lover Renata?

“Good, Dad!”

“Em my dear Justin, your mother is there no? Grandma wants to talk. Can?” nandira interrupts Justin's conversation with the man he calls his father. Nandira was curious as to who the man was. Really am.

“Renata is cleaning up the kitchen, Mistress. Waita minute. I'll deliver this phone to him!”

The voice of the man called by Justin's father sounded soft and firm. This made Max and Nandira even more curious. Patiently they waited for the man to hand over the phone to Renata. Until shortly afterwards a conversation was heard that made Max and Nandira again throw a look of wonder at each other.

“Halo Mom, it's me,” Renata said from the phone. “Sorry yes I just had time to tell Dad and Mom. Since morning Justin has been so fussy. So now we have just contacted you. Not angry, right?”

“Renata, who are you with now? And who is the man Justin called Dad? Your lover or who?” cecar Nandira immediately asked at the core. He could no longer hold back his curiosity.

“Iya Ren, who is that man. Please tell Dad and Mom not to feel anxious,” Max said. “Don't be afraid, we won't be angry. Just just want to know.”

“Dad, Mom, we'll talk about this after I get home. Later that night Justin and I will go home, it is not nice to have to talk about him on the phone,” Renata replied in a half-snooted voice.

“Oh, so. We will talk at home. What are you doing now?” asked Nandira to understand the unpleasant taste in Renata.

Nandira and Renata continued chatting until finally Justin's voice asked to be bathed. After that, the call was turned off.

“My guess is that Renata is with her boyfriend?” nandira said while putting the phone in the bag.

“Iya, darling. But who is that guy? As far as Renata has never been close to any man, why can she suddenly have a boyfriend? Very awkward,” said Max was a little suspicious of the attitude of his daughter who secretly already had a boyfriend.

“Let's ask him after he comes home. Because it's late afternoon, I'll go home first. I want to make our grandson's favorite meal,”

“Only Justin? I how?”

“Ck, you're this. It's old still jealous.”

“What's wrong with asking for attention from your own wife? Or do you want me to call attention from another woman, hm?” ledek Max while raising his eyebrows.

“Do it if you dare. Then don't expect to see me again, Renata, and Justin. We broke up in all relationships. Want?!” threaten Nandira with a blink of an eye.

“Hehehe, yes-yes. I was just kidding, not really serious. Don'tcind yourself. Okay?”

“Haihhhh, whatever you want to say, Max. It's better now that I just go home than the tension of going up because I keep fighting with you. Byehh,”

Max waved at Nandira who was walking out of her room. After that he made both his hands as a chin support, thinking about who the man who became his daughter's lover.

“Justin sounds so familiar with the man. Is he perhaps his real father? If it's true that man should be able to tell the difference if Renata ... Gosh, what did I just think? Renata is my daughter, she is no one else!” max said as he patted his own forehead. He almost told a secret that only he and Nandira knew. “God, please forgive our greed. All this happened because we loved him so much. Please do not give us a heavy sentence. We promise to love Justin and Renata with all our heart. We promise.”

Meanwhile, in the company lobby, Nandira who had just exited the building immediately got into her car. He then ordered the driver to stop at the supermarket first because there were some items he wanted to buy.

Due to being too focused on playing the phone, neither the driver nor Nandira realized that behind their vehicle was a foreign car following. I don't know who that person is, for sure after this something will happen.
