Two months Nat's been working and living at Ryan's. Until one day when Nat accidentally overhears Ryan and Bob's conversation.


"You're in love with Nat?" ask Bob. This question makes Nat stop his steps and steal the listen.


"Why?" Ryan asked back.


"You care so much about her, there's never been a girl you've treated like her"


"You must have known his life story, pity" replied Ryan. Hearing that Nat's heart was disappointed. So all this time Ryan just pity. He turned around and left where he stood. Disappointed, he ran away. Nat doesn't hear Ryan's next reason.


"Pity only?" tease Bob.


"No. I want to protect her, make her happy. My heart aches when I see him suffer, I'm afraid he's gone from me" Bob laughed. He knew his cold best friend was in love.


"That's the name you're in love with Ryan" Ryan just smiled, at the moment he's willing to give anything to Nat, even his life. But Nat doesn't know that, which Nat knows Ryan just out of pity for him. Hearts sad.


When work hours ended Nat walked while daydreaming suddenly there was a friend who was hit and spilled water on his shirt.


"Why are you daydreaming Nat?" said his friend.


"I'm sorry" Nat said as he walked to the bathroom. It turns out that the opportunity was used by Fara to prank Nat. When Nat enters the bathroom, Fara spills oil on the doorstep of Nat's room. When Nat came out slippery he slipped and hit his head on the floor. Nat pinsan's. Because it's time to go home from the office no one else goes to the bathroom.


When Ryan came home Nat hadn't been home, he asked auntie where Nat was.


"Non Nathania hasn't come home yet" said the aunt.


"Is he overtime?" said Ryan.


"Maybe home soon" Ryan


nods. Ten o'clock in the night Nat hasn't come home yet. Ryan was getting nervous. Chest hurts. She knew when her chest hurt something must have happened to Nat. Ryan went back to his office.


"Sir Ryan is left behind?" ask his office security.


"Sir, is there any overtime?"


"No Ryan, everyone's home. I checked there was no one in the room" the security guard was sure. But Ryan sure Nat's still inside, he goes to Nat's desk. The bag's still there but where's Nat. Ryan ran to the bathroom. There Ryan sees Nat Pinsan, and as he approaches the floor he finds the floor slippery.


"Oil?? Who else would dare to do this?" Ryan immediately raised Nat carefully as the floor was very slippery. He asked the security guards to clean the oil so that no one would be a victim again.


Ryan took Nat home. He called his personal doctor.


"His head was bumped but for a while harmless, but if after realizing he was nauseous or prolonged dizziness call me again" the doctor said. Then the doctor pounced.


"Nat let me defend you this time" Ryan said.


How long was Nat conscious. He looked around, the room he knew. He knew Ryan was taking him home.


"Nat you're sober" Ryan said in the room. Nat just nodded.


"I'm eating ya?" Nat shook his head. When Ryan tried to bribe her, Nat turned his face away.


"I'm tired, my head hurts. I want to sleep" Nat said. Ryan wondered what happened to Nat.


"But you must eat..."


"Please Ryan I want to sleep, I'm not hungry" Nat cut Ryan's words, his eyes teary.


"Sheep.." Ryan held onto Nta's head gently but again Nat threw away his face.


"I want to be alone." said Nat slowly. Ryan knows Nat is not calm. He stands.


"Okay, if you're calm, call me.." Ryan's out of Nat's room.


The next morning Ryan was about to leave for the office. He went into Nat's room. Nat was actually awake but hearing the door open he pretended to be asleep again. Ryan approached Nat, his eyes swollen from crying. Ryan's heart was very sad. He didn't want to wake Nat. He just looked at Nat. Unknowingly he kissed Nat's forehead. Nat was shocked, but he remained silent.


"Break up Nat.." Ryan slowly opened the door and walked out. Nat opened his eyes. He's determined that today he'll be out of Ryan's house. He doesn't want to be pitied. I don't want to be a burden to people. Nat gets up and takes his bag and keys to his house. Which he left behind a long time ago.


"Bie.. I'm out first yeah"


"Where are you going Non? Is it still sick? When's home?"


"You go to Bi's brother's house, it's better for Bi"


"What time do you keep going home?"


"I don't know bi. I can't promise"


"If Ryan asks gimna?"


"Son Bi, I told Ryan" Nat told me he was lying.


"Non among Pak Soleh?"


"Gak bi, later I picked up brother in front, go first ya Bi." said Nat while stepping out.


"Ati-ati Non" said Auntie. Finally Nat back. To the room he had left.


When Ryan arrived at the office, he called Fara.


"What's Fara you called?" ask Mia.


"I don't know Mi, hopefully not because Nat complained"


"What have you done?" Fara did not answer. With a tremble he knocked on the door of the director's room.


"Get in" Ryan's cold voice sounded from within. Fara entered slowly, accompanied by Ryan's cold gaze.


"Sir Ryan called me?"


"Yes"


"What's the matter sir" Fara's voice trembled in fear.


"What did you do yesterday?"


"I didn't do anything sir?"


"I have proof that you're not being honest


I can call the police now" heard police say Fara's legs were limp, she sat down.


"Sorry sir, I'm afraid, it's all because Nat has dared to tease Mr. Ryan" Fara's voice trembled in fear.


"Then what's your business if Nat teases me?"


"Sorry sir, because from the beginning I liked Mr. Ryan, but Mr. Ryan never saw me, while Nat is the new kid...." Fara did not continue her words.


"Do you know who Nat is?" ask Ryan. Fara shakes. "She was my future wife, and you've harmed her." hearing that Fara was pale, she remembered all this time she was evil as Nat. He was afraid as afraid. He knows Ryan's a cold guy. He's resigned.


"Now take your paycheck and get out of this company" Ryan said coldly. Fara stood up slowly and limply she walked out of Ryan's office. He was sorry for the envy now he was crushed. But he also harbors anger with Nat. Because Nat he's a douser from the company.


'Look at Nat, I'll destroy you
