Your Love Grace
Become a Dilemma
Nadiba finally got into Felix's car, along the way from the station to the house saw them both silent until finally Nadiba ventured to ask Felix something.
“You want to ask what?”
“Why did Mr Felix know that today I arrived at the station?”
“Because your mother told me.”
“Mother?”
“Yes, I called your mother and asked when you would come home and she said today you will go home and arrive at the station so I immediately came to the station to pick you up.”
“I feel bad, Mr.”
“No need to feel bad for me, Nadiba.”
Finally Nadiba was silent and enjoyed the rest of the journey by looking out the window of the car, Felix called Nadiba's name and suddenly Nadiba turned his head when his name was called by this man.
“What's the Master?”
“Actually I want to ask you something.”
“What do you want to ask me?”
“This is about my honest confession about how I felt about you back then.”
“Oh about it.”
“So how's Nadiba? Do you have an answer?”
“Anu Tuan..”.
“Have you not had it yet?”
“Not Tuan.”
“Did you reject me in this subtle way?”
“No Sir, I do not reject Mr.”
“Lantas does this hanging attitude not mean you reject me subtly?”
“Mr Felix don't think badly just yet, I didn't mean to be just that I'm still confused by all this, please Sir give me a second thought longer.”
“Alright, but I can't give you much longer, I give you 2 days and you have to give me certainty.”
“Good Mr.”
Finally they arrived at the house that Nadiba and Kusuma lived in, Nadiba opened his seatbelt and thanked Felix because this man had been willing to take him from the station to the house.
“No problem Nadiba, but you do not forget what we talked about.”
“Iya Sir, I will not forget it.”

Kusuma greeted Nadiba on the porch of the house, when his daughter arrived at this house, Kusuma immediately hugged Nadiba tightly, with a close embrace, he missed his daughter when Nadiba did not leave for a week or a year but for Kusuma to wait until Nadiba again felt so long.
“Come in first, Nak.”
Kusuma then told Nadiba to sit down and Kusuma urged Nadiba to tell him what he had experienced while in the city.
“Do you have a story, son? Was Luna really being nice to Rama? Can we trust him?”
“Hopefully Luna has changed, Mom. When I came there, the woman did look so friendly and would like to greet me. He also apologized to me directly for what he had done
do in the past to Rama and also to me.”
“Thank God, I'm so glad to hear that. Hopefully Luna really keeps what she says and Rama can live happily with them.”
“Iya Ma'am, I hope so too,” said Nadiba who was sad because he thought of Rama.
“Mother knows that you must still be sad, right considering Rama is now no longer living with us?”
“That's how Mom, it feels I still assume that this is just a dream but it turns out this is a reality of life that I have to live.”

“But what if you later faint while working there?”
“Mother is too much, I will not be able to faint, I will have rest yesterday.”
“But Nak ...”
“Bu, please believe me, I can take good care of myself and I know what I have to do at the moment.”
In the end, seeing the look of seriousness from Nadiba, Kusuma finally allowed his daughter to go to work at Noah's house as usual.
“Alright if that is your will and I can not interfere again, but please remember this Mother's message if indeed you feel tired, do not force yourself, do not force yourself, just tell Mr. Noah that you still
tired and in need of rest, you understand what I'm talking about right, son?”
“Iya Ma'am, of course I understand what I'm talking about, so it's better now I say too, yes?”
Nadiba rushed to kiss Kusuma's hand before leaving this house, Kusuma let out a long sigh to see his daughter who was said to just rest at home first today but he refused.

Noah seemed surprised when he found Nadiba arrived at his house when yesterday this woman had just arrived from out of town, but why did Nadiba even enter work today?
“Nadiba?”
“Good morning, Mr. Noah.”
“Why did you come here? Aren't you still tired from the long journey yesterday?”
“I've had enough rest, Mr. Noah.”
“Really? Are you sure? If indeed you are not ready to work then do not force yourself like this.”
“I'm not forcing myself at all Mr. Noah, I'm really okay, please Mr. Noah believe in me.”
Nadiba does look okay at a glance but Noah is sure that actually this woman is still very tired due to her long journey from out of town to this city by using a train of more than 12 hours.
“Well if you insist, I can't say anything more.”
Nadiba smiles and then starts his work at Noah's house, when Nadiba is doing this house cleaning work from upstairs to downstairs, noah quietly watched Nadiba and then he could not help himself anymore not to ask this woman.
“Nadiba.”
“What's up, Mr Noah?”
“There is something I want to ask you and I hope you will answer this question honestly.”
****
Nadiba was curious about what Noah really wanted to talk to him at this time because if he saw from the look on his face Noah like he wanted to talk about something serious to him.
“Nadiba, do you like my son?”
“What?”
“Please answer my question honestly, Nadiba.”
“I... I ..”.
“Please you be honest with me, Nadiba.”
“I don't know what I feel for Mr. Felix, Mr.”
“What do you mean if you don't know? Felix told me that he likes you and he seems very hopeful that he will become your lover.”
“Anu ..”.
“What's Nadiba? You don't have to be afraid or condescending to me, you can tell me the truth about how you feel about my son.”
“Actually...”.
