Chapter 13

Nathaniel has been struggling with his work for almost three hours. And now a satisfied smile is on his lips.

Nathaniel turned to Nando who was focusing on his tablet. "Tomorrow I will arrange a meeting with the client at the camp."

"Ok."

"I'm done. I want to sleep first. Don't forget to get the guitar ready."

"The project was successful. After that, he was given the guitar."

"It will definitely work. You don't seem to know me." Nathaniel proudly patted his own chest.

"Cih, arrogant." Nando pouted.

"Oh must. Smart people are free to be arrogant. I'm done. Good night. You sleep fast too."

"Yes Good night Niel." Nando said.

"Good night, too." Nathaniel's reply passed from in front of Nando.

While passing through the living room, Nathaniel found Pavi asleep on the sofa. The little girl's face looks tired. A girl as small as Pavi shouldn't have to bear such heavy demands. At her age, she should still be able to play freely. Instead of continuing to learn and get the demands of perfection from their parents.

"Avi. Let's go to our room." Nathaniel whispered carefully.

"Enghh..." Just a mutter from Pavi. The girl was too tired. Usually he will go home at 7 pm because of his series of tutoring schedules. "Why? Avi is sleepy." Pavi said it was still closed.

"Let's change rooms."

"Carry." Pavi asked Nathaniel to hold out her hands to Nathaniel.

With one pull Nathaniel carried Pavi a la koala to his sister's room on the second floora. Every now and then his hand stroked Pavi's back to make her little girl sleep comfortably.

Slowly, Nathaniel dropped Pavi's small body on the bed. Cover it up to the chest. Don't forget to give Nathaniel a kiss on the forehead.

"Good night. Sweet dreams Avi." Nathaniel whispered.

After turning off the main light in Pavi's room, Nathaniel walked out of the room in a light orange tone. Nathaniel stepped to the side of Pavi's room which became his room. Before entering his room, Nathaniel stared at the door of the wet gray painted room right on the side of his room. There is a longing that Nathaniel can't express.

"Good night." Nathaniel said quietly before entering his room to rest.

oOo

His brown eyes continued to stare at an object not far from where he was sitting. He knew very well who the two men were discussing. But, is he right, his eyesight isn't wrong. The man was seen wearing a suit and looked neat. Even the hair that was usually messy, was now very neatly arranged. One word. Handsome.

"Aishhh what am I thinking?" Virzha cursed herself with what she was thinking.

But it's true. Nathaniel looks many times more handsome in a suit and neat hairdo.

"Eh, but what is he doing here?” he asked himself.

When Virzha was busy thinking about why Nathaniel could be at the cafe where he had an appointment with his two best friends. His best friend patted his shoulder uncomfortably.

"Don't you wake up. Why the hell?" Nanda asked to take a seat beside Virzha.

"See." Virzha pointed at Nathaniel with her chin.

Nanda followed Virzha direction. "Nathaniel."

"Yes."

"So what?" Nanda asked, looking back at Virzha.

"I'm not surprised. What's the troublemaker here? Where are the clothes so neat again."

"Yes, hang out maybe."

"Yes, hang out with people who look disciplined like that." Virzha replied annoyed at Nanda's answer.

"Yes means eat." Nanda is still indifferent.

"Yes, if you are in a cafe, you will definitely eat stupid. Are you, at the cafe just riding on the wifi, like readers who don't have money anymore."

"Wow, you kept my word." Nanda looked at Virzha fiercely.

"Facts."

"Yes, even though it's a fact but don't explain it. Pity the readers who are offended."

"Readers or you are offended." Virzha rolled her eyes in embarrassment.

"Both."

"Basic no capital."

"Eh, I'm taking advantage of the facility huh."

"Yes." Virzha said, lazily, to argue pointlessly with Nanda. "Where is Iren? It Takes a long time."

"At least again make up. Like you don't even know you're a girl."

"Yes, that's a tricky girl. That's why I'm so lazy to have a girl."

"I think you're more inclined to like boys, Zha." Nanda looked at Virzha seriously.

"Words you speak." Virzha mumbled.

"Well, you're just lazy to deal with girls. Just be close to girls, you're only close to Iren. And there's no way you like Iren, who is even your friend, you're really lazy with Iren." Nanda said at length. And sadly, the facts are true.

"Yeah, I haven't found the right one yet."

"It's not right, or are you the one who's hard to make people comfortable with?" Nanda's check again.

Virza was silent. He is indeed difficult to socialize with. Virzha is more comfortable with nothing alone. He doesn't need anything else.

"Try to get close to the others. It's not just me or Iren. You can definitely get a girlfriend too."

"Yes, whenever I'm interested." Virzha said indifferently.

"You are! Really!” Nanda let out an annoyed breath. It's always like that.

"Have you ordered it yet?" Iren asked, just arrived and took a seat in front of Nanda. Even that girl doesn't feel guilty for making her two friends wait for her.

"Your eyes are blurry." Virzha sulked.

"go away. You are so annoying Zha. It's small talk." Iren smirked. He knew that his best friend was annoyed at being made to wait so long.

"Your small talk is stale." Virzha went back to playing with her cellphone. Even her thoughts that were still wondering about Nathaniel had disappeared..

"Is he angry?" Iren asked Nanda.

"As you can see." Nanda just relaxes. As long as you can hang out at the old cafe and free WiFi. For him, it doesn't matter how long he waits.

"Order a message. I treat it as an apology for being late for a long time. Ma'am." Iren called the waiters to order.

"What would you like to order?" asked a friendly female waiter.

"I'm as usual Ren." Nanda said, focusing on his cellphone.

"Ok. Are you Zha?"

"Me too as usual." Virzha put down her phone. His eyes wandered and still found Nathaniel who was still seen talking to the person earlier.

"Any other?"

"No. That's all. Thank you." Say Iren.

"What are you looking at?" Iren asked, surprised at Virzha who was still staring ahead.

"It."

Iren followed Virzha's view. "Oh Nathaniel. Why really?"

"I'm surprised to see him dressed like that." His eyes were still on Nathaniel in surprise.

"He's usually like that."

Iren's words made Virzha turn her attention to her best friend.

"It means?"

"From what I heard, Nathaniel sometimes likes to help his brother with his work. Maybe now he's helping his brother with his work."

"ER brother?"

"Yes, Nathaniel's brother. His name is Nando Axel. He is a successful young entrepreneur like his parents." Iren turned to Nathaniel's desk. "Well then, did you see the boy beside Nathaniel?" Ask Iren.

"Hmm."

"He's Nathaniel's brother."

"Huh seriously?" Asked Virzha surprised.

"Of course. Why am I wearing makeup? Anyway, why?"

"It just looks different with Nathaniel. Nathaniel is a fukboy face. Her sister looks so calm."

"Her sister's face is like her mother's. Calm. Nathaniel is more dominant to his father. Firm and undeniable."

"You seem to know a lot about Nathaniel, Ren." Virzha looked at Iren in surprise.

"Who doesn't know about the Axel family, the tycoon? New babies come out too, you know."

"I don't know that."

"Because you are too lazy to find out and are antisocial. That's why you don't know."

Virzha just kept silent. Want to deny it's a fact too.

"This is a child when he plays games, he doesn't remember his surroundings." Iren muttered looking at Nanda who was calm with her cellphone.

"Your friend."

"Don't know me."

"You guys are noisy. Shut up. I almost won here." Nanda exclaimed, still focused on her cellphone.

"Damn it." Virzha cursed looking at Nanda embarrassed.

"Uh you guys. What are you doing here? Hang out huh? Can you join?"

The successive questions from the person in front of the three succeeded in taking everyone by surprise. Since when was the person they were talking about sitting at their table.
