Briana smiled wryly and pushed Nevan's body almost into the fridge. “You never change.”
Nevan took one step forward and sat down on the chair. “I want to talk to you, important. Sitting here,” Nevan's hand patted her empty next-door chair and coded Briana to sit next to him.
Briana realized that sitting next to Nevan would make her concentration more difficult, rather than pulling a chair in front of Nevan and sitting opposite Nevan. Both of Briana's hands folded, her lips pursed sharply.
“What's up?”
Nevan extended her gawai to Briana. “You read it yourself.”
Still with an unfriendly expression, Briana was forced to grab Nevan's device. His two eyeballs almost jumped out when he saw something inside. “V-video that used to be, instead of him saying he deleted it? Why can..” Briana clutched Nevan's device tightly. He was so stupid he didn't know this kind of important news.
“It means..”.
Nevan took a deep breath. “You don't have to worry, everything is resolved. You can choose, stay here or go back to Indonesia.”
Briana's chest felt on the rocks in tons, she could not accept if the career built by Aisha and herself would be destroyed instantly because of the scandal of the video. Can anger bring everything back? If it could be turned back to the past, Briana would not be willing to accept love from Nevan. But, it's too late.
Briana wept regretting her stupid past actions, another one she was also stupid to be impregnated by Nevan. “Do you know this?” briana said with quivering lips to hold back the cry.
Nevan nodded slowly. He then got up around the dining table, and rubbed Briana's head. “Sorry,” said Nevan felt very guilty and guilty.
“Evil! All evil! And you Nevan you really don't pantes being Sean's dad!” briana jolted with Nevan's body again.
“I'm sorry, Briana,” Nevan again brought herself closer to Briana's body still crying in the chair. Nevan bent over Briana's waist, allowing her to stick her forehead in her beloved woman's belly. “Sorry,” whispered with a tear that escaped the corner of his eye. One of the biggest regrets so far was against Briana.
Briana squeezed out Nevan's burly arm, about to stomp him. It was so bad that his mouth swore a swear at this jerk who had ruined his life. But, his lips were very heavy to speak. In fact, his fingers also tremble violently. “Do not do this, Van.”
Nevan shook her head, unable to take off her arms as if she had just found her true life. “I'm really sorry, I'm sorry,” the rest is down. “I miss very much you, me..”.
No reply came out of Briana's lips, all she did was stare at the tip of Nevan's head that still survived to kiss her stomach. The things she yearned for when she was pregnant with Sean, which she never got all this time. Just, looking at a photo of him when he was with Nevan while still sitting in school. That was all he had left to fuse his yearning towards the man.
“I love you, Briana,” Nevan speaks with all the feelings she has endured so far. With all this yearning for nine months.
Briana remained silent, she blinked once and let a tear fall on Nevan's palm that still hugged Briana's waist. “I have to go back to the room, Sean was thirsty,” Briana replies really contrary to what Nevan has revealed at length.
With the rest of her strength, Briana pushed Nevan's shoulder away. Usually Nevan will be angry, cursing, and forcing Briana to obey all her words. However, the man had been wrapped in a soft look as Briana stepped away leaving him alone.
Sadness was evident on Nevan's face. It's only natural that Briana is so disappointed in Nevan. She doesn't want to force Briana again like she used to. Maybe Briana thinks Nevan has been evil can not protect her, know Nevan has tried hard to protect her with all her body soul. Silencing the media crew, giving up his life only to catch the badjangan who had been able to spread his personal video throughout the country.
It didn't feel like Nevan was falling asleep crying in the chair near the dining table. Until dawn, Steven was finding Nevan's body shivering from the cold under the chair. Steven was very surprised, then again the middle-aged man pulled Nevan back into his room. The man quickly turns on the heating device, before Nevan's body freezes from the cold.
“I heard you guys were arguing, the important thing is that you explained the outline.”
Nevan curled up inside the blanket, while listening to Steven's babble. “I just want him to be happy,” he said as he closed his eyes again.
Steven breathed heavily. So far Nevan has sacrificed so much for Briana and her family. Steven also threw away his stubborn attitude to Briana's happiness. Briana should accept with airy chest the reality that has happened. His daughter should thank Nevan. Steven then got up and walked out of the room.
While exiting Nevan's room, Briana suddenly stood staring at Steven. Look, no happy look emanated from Briana's face. His eyes were puffy, his eye bags were like dark-colored pandas.
“You should thank him, not even angry,” Steven said while sitting in the family room. “He fell asleep under the floor overnight, whereas you know it's very cold.”
Briana bit her lower lip, she didn't know if Nevan was so desperate to fall asleep on the floor like that. The night after she had an argument with Nevan, she cried in silence while nursing Sean. She also stared at Aisha's face, how painful and broken she was when her mother lost her job in an instant. This is all because of his carelessness in the past, which he did only as a mere nafssu. Whatever happened yesterday cannot be regretted.
“T-but mommy same papah also lies Briana, is it worth it?”
Steven shakes. “Quickly apologize to him, he also paid all your tuition fees here.”
“A-pa?!” briana asked after mastering herself from her shock.
Steven held both of his hands up on his chin. “That day he promised to take full responsibility for our family. This house, your tuition fees, unless the cost of daily living comes from the savings money papah equally mama. And also, he said of your scandal, Nevan also promised to take all his sins alone and will take care of them. That's why he came here late,” Steven explained at length.
Briana's body trembled as she learned the facts coming out of Steven's mouth. His eyes were spread, ready to let go of the crying. But, before the cry broke, he immediately walked open Nevan's room door slowly. Nevan was curled up under the blanket because of the cold. Briana decided to walk a little too scared of Nevan waking up.
“I would like to marry you.”
