Rissa's plan to have a good conversation with Nicholas seems to have failed miserably. Nicholas had learned about Rissa's decision to move to Bandung from James.
That night, suddenly, their father raised a voice when they were all gathered at the dining table.
"In two days, Rissa will soon move to Bandung," their father began. He looked at Rissa. "I am a little disapproving of you going back there. After all, I'm happy to be living with you here all this time. We can all be together. But just for a while, you already want to move there again. I will miss you very much, Rissa."
Nicholas turned his face away. Rissa knew that the man was hiding all feelings under his sharp and cold gaze. Rissa looked down at the fried chicken on her plate. She couldn't cry and regret it. Being close to Charlos was the best thing she should have chosen.
