Love In The Throne
Back to Work

Nanda finished her lunch. Quickly, he cleaned up his eating place and prepared to return to his workplace. Vira, a co-worker close enough to her, is concerned about Nanda's condition. Vira already knows about the illness suffered by Nanda's parents. At first Nanda never told her about her mother's illness. Because Vira had played several times to Nanda's house and saw for herself the condition of her mother, Nanda finally wanted to also share stories about her mother's illness. From the story of his mother's illness, to the cost of treatment and finally without Nanda realizing it he told of a large debt from his father that he had to bear as well. No wonder Nanda had to work hard to help pay off her father's debt. Even Nanda had to work in the second place, namely on a private radio as a broadcaster in order to earn extra money.

"Nda, loe looks skinny. Loe seems to need an extra rest" Nanda just smiled knot with Vira's words.

"Then anyway? Good dong if I'm a courier" answered Nanda while grinningly showing off a row of white teeth neatly arranged.

"If the thin solid contains still looks good. It's a skinny empty flat like this, what a good one. Try to eat once a nutritious meal. Do not rice eggs, tempe the same vegetables mulu. Once eat meat cake... Chicken or duck cake... Let loe's body look a little semok" Nanda just chuckles at the words of Vira who is too lebay to pay attention to him.

"Kan Loe knows Vir, how my family's economic condition is. So I have to ngirit"

"Yes, I know. But I can't watch loe's body getting thinner like a skin cracker. Btw, you still work on xxx radio?"

"Hm... Still am. Although only part time, but the fee is good... Count all my talents, by the way hehehehe..."

"Trus, nyokap loe how are you? Is it improving or is it still the same condition?"

"It's improved enough. During routine treatment, the nyokap condition remains stable and stronger"

"Oh, thank goodness... Oia Nda, ntar finished work we try the Japanese resto all you can eat that just opened at the end there yuk. Said the Tina who had tried the food was delicious. And there is still a promo to pull it. I'll buy it, how?" vira said with great enthusiasm.

"I don't think I can be Vir. I have to take the punishment from Silvi, I have two hours to work. Do you want to wait for me to finish work?"

"Hm... Two hours? Long time too..." Vira swung her lips feeling annoyed with the situation.

"Well, how about tomorrow?" added again.

"Emmm... Okay. But the deal's still in effect, isn't it Vir?"

"Tenaaa... Everything can be arranged"

"Thank you Vir, elo me my good friend bangeeetttt" Nanda hugged Vira's body tightly with anxiety. So tight a hug Nanda made Vira uncomfortable and squealed to be released.

"Yes yes... My freelance... I can't breathe." Nanda quickly let go of her embrace with a big smile. But soon, Nanda hugged Vira's body. But his embrace this time did not torture his friend.

"Udah is back at work. Ntar the queen mother hunted out her horns if we slow down her rest" said Vira who was immediately embraced by Nanda.

Nanda and Vira return to their activities until the working hours are over. But today they are forced to not be able to go home together because of their different working hours. Nanda nodded while waving as Vira bid her farewell to go home.

"Ok, two hours. Two hours old Nanda. Semangaatt.." said Nanda encouraged herself.

It's true, two hours spent working doesn't feel like long. Moreover, the condition of the restaurant that is increasingly crowded makes Nanda not feel tired and still happy to serve every buyer who comes.

Nanda rushed out of the resto towards the bus stop. After arriving near the elite housing area of Oma Ana, Nanda decided to use the services of a base motorcycle taxi to get to the house. Tired and sore because working all day makes his legs unable if you have to walk like this morning.

At exactly nine o'clock in the evening, Nanda had arrived in front of the magnificent house of Oma Ana. Nanda missed the family dinner. Very high house fence feels very difficult to enter. Nanda had to be patient waiting for the security who was in charge of opening the door for him.

Initially the security guard did not allow Nanda to enter. Perhaps this is because the aecurity application that was guarding that night had not recognized Nanda's face and understood her status in the house. Nanda understands that. Because the guards who served in Oma Ana's house were quite a lot and the people also changed.

Raut looks suspicious and incredulous when Nanda says that she is the wife of Alviano Hadinata, the only granddaughter of Oma Ana. That would be very natural, considering the condition of Nanda who came without driving a car and plus Nanda's clothes that already look shabby makes the security of the house on guard increasingly distrusting himself. How could the wife of the classy conglomerate Alviano Hadinata look shabby and seedy? That must be what is in security.

Luckily, Toni was a private driver, Oma Ana, who was sitting at the security post. Nanda survived because Mr. Toni agreed to the words that had just been thrown from Nanda's mouth. Nanda breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Toni. I'm going in first yeah..."

"Sama-sama madam. Please" he replied very politely.

Nanda continued to step foot into the magnificent house of Oma Ana. The security guard that night seemed to have shook his head in disbelief at what he had just seen. Yes, let it be his job, Mr. Toni, who explained about himself to the security guard tonight.

***

Slowly, Nanda opened the main door of Oma Ana's house. The door's not locked. With hesitant and careful steps, Nanda closed the large door again and walked slowly towards the second floor to Alvin's room.

"Good night, Mr. Markus. Sorry I didn't see my dad. So I..."

"It's okay, madam. Do you need anything? I'll get it ready for you soon"

"Ah, don't thank Markus. I'll just go straight to the room"

"Mrs, have you had dinner? If not, I'll get it ready for you"

"Th-don't. I've eaten. Thank you, Markus. I'll let you upstairs first sir"

"Please mistress."

Nanda rushed towards the second floor. During the journey to the stairs, Nanda's eyes did not see any sign of the life of the owner of this house. The dining room looks empty. The large living room is also empty. All that looks is only a few ART that is still busy working on cleaning the house.

This house is indeed very large, but it really feels very quiet and cold. There is no warmth in a family. Everyone is busy with their own business.

Nanda knocked quietly on Alvin's room door. Nanda didn't want to make a noise like yesterday. Especially it's night. It will be very disturbing to all residents of this house. Especially Oma Ana.

There was no answer to Nanda's door knock. Nanda tries to press the doorknob of Alvin's room. And...

Clik...

Turns out Alvin's room door wasn't locked. It seems that Alvin did deliberately not lock the door of his room so that Nanda could easily enter.

Very carefully, Nanda opened the door and closed it back in a quiet voice. His footsteps slowed down a little while browsing around the room looking for Alvin there.

Alvin's bed has been attached bed sheet and new bed cover. Alvin didn't see it there. Nanda breathed a sigh of relief because there was no annoying figure of Alvin. At least tonight he doesn't have to argue mouth with her.

"Where have you been?" nanda's steps came to a halt instantly as a familiar distinctive voice in his ears sounded very clearly reprimanding him.

Nanda turned his gaze toward the voice of Alvin who was sitting enjoying a glass of wine in the corner of his bedroom window that was jutting into the corner. Alvin was already wearing black silk kimono pajamas with a vague outline motif. It looks like Alvin's getting ready to go to bed.

"Ma-mas Alvin's. You-you haven't slept?" nanda asked back.

"Answer question!"

"I-I'm sorry I came home late. I went to work today. My cut is up, so I have to go in today"

"Where do you work at this hour to come home? Are you deliberately overtime to get extra money?" alvin said always with a cynical and reproachful smile.

Nanda's body was already very tired and sticky. He was reluctant if he had to serve Alvin's question which would later ignite his emotions. All she needs now is a shower and go to sleep.

"Yes" answered Nanda quickly.

"It's sad" said Alvin again, sipping his glass of wine.

"My body is sticky. I'm going to take a shower" Nanda immediately picked up the clean clothes from her suitcase and went to the bathroom to clean up. Nanda did not dare to take out the contents of his suitcase to be moved to the closet. Because Alvin did not tell or allow himself to move the contents of his suitcase into the closet.

Approximately twenty minutes, Nanda had finished bathing and came out complete with her sleeping pajamas. His wet hair he covered with a towel. Nanda's eyes already showed a five-watt glow that would soon dim. His tired body also wanted to be immediately broken down.

"I'll sleep on the couch. Thank you for not locking the door. My eyes are sleepy. I slept first... Good night..." Nanda didn't care what reaction Alvin would give him. His eyes felt heavy. Despite having to sleep on the sofa, but this sofa feels comfortable and able to lull Nanda into her beautiful dreams. His body also felt relieved when his entire body could be stretched to rest.

Alvin only snorted in annoyance when his ears heard a subtle snoring from the direction of the sofa where Nanda was sleeping.

"Huft, you weird chick. It's too soon she's sleeping..."
