Chapter 4 Part 4

"Acha right, Nadia. I fell in love with you.."After the morning prayer, Nadia, who usually sleeps again but this time immediately rushed to take a bath. The sweet girl missed her Papa. Nadia wanted to come to the grave to just say hello and sow her Papa's favorite flowers.

Sometimes when the silence of the night begins to come, Nadia has tears in her eyes. This longing is very hard for her to bear. Agung says, naturally, it's only been more than a month. The pain from the loss is still felt. But Nadia is willing to bet that missing her Papa will haunt her forever. .

After a few minutes, he arrived at a cemetery not far from his home area.

"Assalamualaikum, Papa."

Nadia immediately placed the bouquet of jasmine flowers on the grave. Her fingers then rubbed the tombstone that had just been replaced two weeks ago.

The cold air before sunrise like this doesn't bother Nadia. Her attention is now focused entirely on the grave of her Papa, her first love since birth.

"Nadia here is healthy, Papa. But, hehe.. Sometimes Nadia still likes to cry, Papa.."

Bramono, Nadia's first love since she was born in this world. The man who was taken back into the lap of the Creator at the age of 50, the figure of an extraordinary father in Nadia's eyes. A man who has never even thought about getting married. again after the death of his wife who had left him five years earlier.

"Pa.."

Nadia shed tears again.

"Nadia..now..already working.."

"Now.. Papa's son.. must be able to bear his own living expenses. No one gives advice anymore like when Papa was around. No one hugs Nadia anymore when Nadia is sad.. There are no more typical disciplinary rules for Papa at home. ."

Nadia sobbed. The words she spit out from her own mouth had torn her soul. The pain of losing someone she loved so much really made her world darken.

Papa left without saying goodbye. So suddenly that Nadia's heart was so broken. Nadia knew that day would come, but the girl forgot to prepare herself. Prepared her heart.

"But over time, God willing, Nadia can be sincere, Pa. Did Papa ever say, death is certain. Indeed, who is Nadia, Pa, can reject the destiny that God has determined long before Papa was born."

Nadia wiped the traces of tears that were printed on her cheeks. Then smiled, trying to be strong.

"It's calm there, Papa. Nadia is sure that later there, God will definitely meet us again."

Nadia said a prayer. She closed her eyes while imagining the face of her Papa smiling at her.

"Nadia work first, Papa. I love you.."

Nadia stood and looked at the tomb before she actually left there.

️ "Rendra!! You finished my bread!!!"

Rendra hurriedly ran and got into his car before the Hungry Lion, which he called Abang, appeared in front of him.

Rendra chuckled while munching on his favorite peanut butter bun and his sibling, Reza. It was always like that every morning. Reza and Rendra always teased each other to spend their breakfast rations. Luckily, Regi, the eldest child, was not in Indonesia. If anything, complete the third drama. The siblings fought over breakfast each morning.

This morning Rendra was forced to come early to the office because the big boss aka CEO of the company where he worked, returned to the office after his honeymoon with his wife to the Maldives was over. There were a lot of work and work reports that Rendra had to talk about if the boss named Jerry Andrean returned to the office. office.

As he passed the cemetery, Rendra blinked a few times, trying to make sure that what he had just seen at the funeral was really the cute girl he had been eyeing for the past few days.

"Nadia?? after her grave who is she?"

Rendra didn't see it wrong. He was sure it was really Nadia when the girl looked up. Coincidentally, the tomb she was visiting was right on the side of the road so Rendra couldn't see it from inside the car.

"My mother died five years ago, sir, and my Papa just one month ago left me."

Rendra then patted his forehead. How could he forget the fact that the girl he was after?

The sweet girl is an orphan.

Rendra's heart suddenly felt touched. He forgot that he had to hurry to the office this morning. He forgot that if he was late for work, there would be a tantrum from Jerry Andrean this morning for him. As if it didn't matter when he saw his cute girl. was weeping beside a tomb there.

There is a strong feeling of wanting to protect from deep within his heart for the girl. There is a feeling that Rendra wants to express that he doesn't want the girl to be alone anymore. Rendra wants the girl to be his so that Nadia will no longer cry alone when she remembers her parents.

"I hope my efforts to approach you are not in vain, Nadia."

️

Nadia arrived at the office exactly ten minutes before the check-in time. Before entering, she had time to buy some nasi uduk which was in front of the office for breakfast.

The Nasi uduk that someone gave him yesterday luckily didn't have any effect. That means, someone Nadia doesn't know who this person is, is really kind and doesn't put any harmful ingredients in the rice.

Until now, Nadia was still curious about who it was. If I wanted to ask Gugun, I'm sure the man wouldn't want to answer honestly.

"Eh chikungunya!!"

Nadia turned her head when Acha called her with a new label after calling her apple skin the day before. Nadia, who was already used to Acha's absurd behavior, shook her head.

"What? "

"It's so cheesy."

"Who told you to change my name?"

Acha smirked "Just kidding, dear Nadia. If you're invited to dinner with Mr. Rendra, don't be mean, madam."

Suddenly Nadia's eyes immediately rounded "How did you know??"

"Last night I ate with Danu not far from where you and Mr. Rendra ate."

Nadia's heart immediately started beating fast. This was her fault. Why did she even suggest Rendra to eat at a street vendor when Rendra invited her to eat at a restaurant.

"So, what's the relationship between the two of you? Why keep it a secret from me, hm?"

Nadia then explained the whole story to Acha.

"So stupid."

"Yes. Suer.. Me and Mr. Rendra have nothing to do with it, Cha. Don't tell anyone, okay? It's enough for you to know." Nadia pleaded. Her face was pitiful. She could end up being bullied by one office if Acha let her go about this. Especially if the girls on the 2nd floor, on average, were all desperately chasing Rendra's love, hearing this. Nadia could be finished. for months the pretentious woman became the ruler of the office.

"Yeah, I won't leak it. Don't worry. But seriously, don't you suspect that Mr. Rendra's attitude towards you is?"

"Why are you suspicious? Last night was just a coincidence. He didn't mean anything."

Acha chuckled "You're really being a girl too innocent, Nad. You don't know what? Don't think about what he's doing?"

Nadia was confused "What is it?"

"I'm sure all this time he was pacing in front of our room, he just wanted to be seen by you." Guess it straight away... made Nadia's eyes widen again.

"You know so much!"

"Yeeeee, it's not that you know it, spinach leaves. But I really believe it. So, the one who sent you the mysterious Nasi Uduk yesterday, I'm sure it was from Mr. Rendra."

Nadia's inner war when those words came out of Acha's mouth, half of her heart agreed and half of her heart doubted.

Is it really like that?

Because if Nadia thinks about it, Acha's sentence makes sense too. Seriously, her boss's pacing the past few days is quite ridiculous. Rendra's position is higher than Finka's, in fact.

but why does Rendra have to walk around like that and not Finka?

And Nadia also thought, it is not impossible that it was Rendra who sent the nasi uduk and sweet tea yesterday. Rendra's attitude towards him yesterday afternoon was too extraordinary between a superior and an ordinary employee like him if there was no specific purpose.

"Most likely Mr. Rendra fell in love with you, Nadia."

Nadia immediately laughed out loud as she continued her steps "There's no way Cha, a handsome person like that, falls in love with a potato like me."

Meanwhile, not far from there, Rendra overheard the conversation between Nadia and Acha when he had just returned from the parking lot to retrieve his wallet which he left in the car.
