The Young Master's Love Struggle

EP. 33

The Renata apartment.

"I'm sorry Nich. I have to leave you alone. Because if I don't go home now, the house people will be suspicious. But I promise, tomorrow I'll be right back."

"Yes Ren. You don't have to worry. I'll be fine here. After all, during these 7 days, college was on holiday. So, I'll be safe in your apartment."

"Please promise me you won't be out of the apartment if there's nothing important. And as much as possible tell me first, if you want to go out. Oya, if someone comes, you should look at the cctv screen first before opening the door. Understood?" renata.

"Yes, yeah. Alright... You are like my grandmother. Very chatty," Nicha said with a smile.

"Hey. Don't make me like your grandmother. Did you forget, I'm your savior angel. Remember that!"

"Haha. Yep, yeah... Thank you for my beautiful rescue angel."

"Well, that's right" Renata replied as she hugged Nicha.

After being satisfied to embrace. The two friends looked at each other. For some reason, Renata still feels heavy to leave his best friend.

"Hey! Why are you silent. Let's go soon. Or are you starting to get interested in me?" nicha Goda.

"Well! You're talking so silly. You nosy girl... All right, I'll go now. Take good care of yourself. Byeah..."

Renata walked away from Nicha while waving her hand. Likewise with Nicha who also returned Renata's hand with a smile.

After no longer seeing Renata, Nicha went back into the apartment and locked her up. The wall clock shows at 10 a.m.

Heuh... What am I supposed to do now? Oya, I'll just cook. What foods are available in the fridge? Mumbled Nicha.

When he went to the kitchen. The sound of a bell ringing.

TING... KEGS...

Somehow at that time Nicha thought that the one who pressed the bell was Renata.

Why is Renata back? Is there anything left behind? Inner Nicha.

Right away, Nicha opened the apartment door. But his assumption was wrong and he was very surprised to find 2 men were sturdy and large and wearing sunglasses.

"Are you Miss Nicha?" ask one of the men.

DEG!

Nicha's heart seemed to want to be dislodged. He was so scared. Cold sweat began to wet his palms and back. He was very sorry, why so careless to open the door without seeing the cctv sail first, as ordered by Renata.

Who're they? Are they hit men sent by Miss Bella to kill me? Oh my God, please save me. Inner Nicha.

"Miss... Miss need not be afraid. Just answer our questions. Are you really Miss Nicha?" ask the man again.

"eeeeeeee... Yeah, I'm Nicha. Who're you?" answer Nicha.

The two men smiled, giving Nicha a large box.

"Mr Jac sent this to you." said one of the men.

Nicha looked confused while looking at the beaar box proffered by the man.

"What's this?"

"We don't know Miss. We were just ordered to give this to you. Please accept Miss."

With a little hesitation, Nicha received the big box.

"Alright Miss. Our task is done. Excuse me."

The two men bowed their bodies as they walked away. Nicha remained silent in confusion while holding the big box.

Whatisthis? In this box there is a bomb. But, why did Mr Jac give me a box? Is it possible that he was angry, because I resigned from the restaurant and gave this bomb-filled box to kill me?

Nicha began to think silly things, as she often saw in the movies. But, he immediately threw away that thought.

Ah, naw... No way, Mr. Jac did just that...

Do I have to open it now? Or later, when Renata is back...? But I was curious about it... How'this?

With great curiosity, Nicha finally opened the big box. Instantly her eyes were perfectly rounded, when she found a blue dress neatly folded inside the box.

Wh-what's this...? Why did Mr Jac give me a dress?

Not even his curiosity was answered, again Nicha was made to stagger, seeing a pink envelope tucked under the dress.

What's this envelope? Mumbled Nicha.

He slowly opened the envelope and pulled out a letter, then read it. Somewhat long ago Nicha read the writing in the letter. Instantly, his face turned grim, like a child who had lost his slippers.

...***...

Great Residence.

Looks like Great is talking on the phone with a serious face.

"Hello Jac's. Have you done what I asked? All right, thank you, Jac."

The phone was cut off instantly.

Now I have to tell Nicha. Great Say.

Cleverly, Great's fingers pressed the letters on his phone screen.

[How are you? Surely by now, you have received my gift box. I hope you like the dress I gave you.]

Soon after, he had sent the message to Nicha's mobile number.

I hope you reply to my message this time Nich... I beg. Lirih Great's.

However, it had been almost 30 minutes Great waiting. No incoming messages from Nicha.

Aarghs... Why can you torture me like this, Nichaa!

Great so upset. His heart was deeply tormented by his feelings for Nicha. But, he could not do anything to channel his love passion. So upset, then Great threw his phone, to hit the wall and smashed into pieces.

...***...

The next day at Renata's apartment.

Nicha had just finished her bath and faintly, she heard a voice from the direction of the middle room.

"The diamonds!" peekkik Nicha's.

"Oh... Hi Nich," said Renata while putting some shopping bags on the table.

"What are you carrying?"

Nicha walked up to Renata and looked at the table.

"It... I bought some food, for supplies. So, you don't have to get out of the apartment for shopping."

"Yes my... Renata, you're overreacting. Even by hitching a ride in your apartment, I'm already so bad. Now you buy me all my needs. How am I gonna get Ren back?" nicha lirih.

"You don't have to bother thinking about replying to everything I did. Because I didn't expect you to pay back either. But I only asked you 1 thing..."

"What's that?"

"You must focus on your college so that you can graduate with the best predicate and achieve your goals so that you achieve success... That's what I asked of you, Nich. Then I hope, you don't disappoint me."

At once Nicha's eyes glazed over, hearing the words of her best friend. And without warning, Nicha immediately embraced Renata while shedding tears. So did Renata, he greeted Nicha's embrace with a smile.

"Thank you Ren. Thank you very much" Nicha said, sobbing.

"Yes. Equally," Renata replied as she rubbed Nicha's back.
