Chapter 15 - DEAL

"Nayla, look at me .. do I look angry at you?" Ardian asked who suddenly his chest was beating very fast, as Nayla slowly looked into his eyes with teary eyes.

"Does Mr. Ardian still keep the promise that we agreed yesterday? I beg you not to tell Momy and Daddy about our agreement. It's enough for both of us to know, I promise to comply with the three requests that Mr. Ardian wants as long as the next five months Mr. Ardian releases me." said Nayla in a low voice and her eyes begging.

Ardian fell silent with a feeling that was always hurt.

How can he live a relationship based on just an agreement.

After thinking for quite a while, Ardian looked at Nayla seriously.

"Is it true? if I agree to this agreement you will fulfill my three wishes?" Ardian asked with hurt and despair.

Nayla nodded confidently.

"Then for my first request, marry me this Sunday." Ardian said calmly even though his heart was pounding, whether Nayla wanted to accept it or not.

Nayla stared at Ardian in a huff, wasn't their relationship just an engagement? after five months the new will separate.

"I can not answer now sir, how about later in the afternoon I answer it." said Nayla, wanting to talk to Kenzo about last night's thing as well as what their next step was.

Ardian nodded slowly.

"I'll be waiting for your answer Nay." said Ardian who really knew what Nayla had been thinking.

"Once again, sir, I ask you for help, don't tell all this to Daddy and Momy, I trust you." said Nayla earnestly.

"You can trust me Nay." Ardian replied patiently in the face of Nayla's attitude that always hurt him.

"Thank you sir, Mr. Ardian is very kind." said Nayla, unconsciously holding Ardian's two warm hands.

Ardian stared at Nayla with his heart always beating fast when Nayla touched him.

"Nay, I have to go home now I have work to do at the office." said Ardian covering his nervousness.

"Uh, yes sir .. then how about Mr. Ardian going home?" asked Nayla because Ardian did not have a vehicle to go home.

"I can go home by motorcycle taxi Nay, oh yes Nay can you let go of your hand?" said Ardian who couldn't hold back his nervousness.

Nayla's face flushed red, because she had held Ardian's two hands unconsciously for so long.

"Um, sorry sir I didn't mean to." said Nayla, smiling shyly, because it was dissolved in the warmth of Ardian's hand.

"It's okay, can you call your parents Nay?" said Ardian trying to calm down.

"Wait a moment sir, I'll call." said Nayla who was going to step past Ardian. Because Nayla was not careful, Nayla's leg slammed on the table leg, making Nayla's body almost fall to the floor if Ardian didn't pull her waist quickly into his arms.

Nayla fell into Ardian's broad chest.

"Are you okay Nay? be careful when walking." said Ardian looking at Nayla's face with his chest beating very hard.

"Um, I'm okay sir, thank you." said Nayla who suddenly became nervous and embarrassed by Ardian's shady gaze.

Embarrassed, Nayla came inside and called her parents who were in the room.

Ardian waited a little while until Sasongko and Mother Nay came out with Nayla who was refreshed and changed clothes.

"Want to go home now Ardian?" asked Mother Nay with a calm heart.

"Yes ma'am, I have a job at the office that I haven't finished." said Ardian with a smile.

"Ardian, because we consider you your own child. Just think of me as your parent too." said Sasongko who really loved Ardian.

"Okay Mom Dad, it's not good to reject the kindness of my parents who have been kind to me." Ardian said touched by Nayla's parents who loved him so much.

"Nayla, take Ardian home." Sasongko ordered Nayla.

Nayla nodded her head and gave her motorbike key to Ardian.

"Okay Dad Mom, I'll say goodbye." said Ardian while nodding his head.

After saying goodbye to Nayla's parents, Ardian walked out of the house to take Nayla's motorbike.

"Come on up Nay." said Ardian who was already sitting on the motorbike.

Awkwardly, Nayla got on the motorbike and grabbed Ardian by the waist.

Ardian's heart rippled every time Nayla's soft hand touched him.

With Nayla sitting behind him, Ardian felt immense happiness even though he knew it was only for a moment, Ardian was grateful for what every joy came.

"It's up to Nay," said Ardian after arriving in front of his house.

Nayla looked at Ardian's face which looked pale and tired, she knew for sure Ardian hadn't slept all night because he was worried thinking about it.

"Mr. Ardian is sure that he will work this morning?" Nayla asked, a little worried about Ardian's health.

Ardian looked at Nayla in disbelief.

"Nayla why can't I understand you, sometimes you care so much for me, but quickly you hate me." Ardian said to himself.

"Mr. Ardian? you heard me right?" asked Nayla again.

"I'm not working today Nay, I'm going to the hospital regular visits." Ardian replied, who once every Sunday he had to do dialysis.

"I mean sir?" asked Nayla, not understanding.

"I have to dialysis once a week, so that my health doesn't get worse." Ardian explained without any sorrow.

"When is Mr. Ardian going to the hospital?" asked Nayla which made Ardian unable to think anymore.

"This morning after I took a shower." Ardian replied staring deeply at Nayla.

"Hurry up and take a shower sir, I will accompany you to the hospital." said Nayla quickly.

"You mean Nay? did you come with me to the hospital?" Ardian asked to confirm again what Nayla said.

"Yes sir, let's hurry up sir because this afternoon I want to meet Kenzo about last night." said Nayla who didn't know why she opened up to Ardian.

"Did something happen between you and Kenzo, Nay?" Ardian asked with a sudden anxious heart.

"No sir, I also know how to take care of myself sir." Nayla replied, making Ardian's heart feel relieved.

"Already, let's quickly take a shower, sir." said Nayla pushing Ardian's back into the house.

Ardian smiled, somehow it felt like Nayla was like his wife when Nayla pushed his back to tell him to take a shower.

"Nayla, I can fall if you push me." said Ardian with a chuckle.

Nayla stopped her urge, then looked deep into Ardian's face.

"Try sir, laugh again like just now." said Nayla in disbelief that Ardian laughed looking very handsome.

"Why tell me to laugh again Nay?" Ardian asked nervously.

"Mr. Ardian looks even more handsome when he laughs, really very handsome." said Nayla, holding back a smile seeing Ardian's flushed face.
