Chapter 14. Nicholas leaves with Helen

For several days, both Nicholas and Amora did not leave the house. Nicholas, who was still grieving, did not want to go to work first. Only his father could go to the office! Nicholas also turned off his cell phone and just kept quiet in the house, Amora, who couldn't bear it if Nicholas was left alone, chose not to go to college for the past few days.

Amora prefers accompanying Nicholas inside the house, accompanying Nicholas to tell him many things about his late mother, playing billiards with Nicholas, drinking wine and watching movies together for the past few days, of course Helen doesn't stay silent and tries to visit Nicholas in his house only Amora already really understand what Helen will do, have asked the security guard in front of the house gate not to let Helen enter this house.

Helen was annoyed to death because she had missed Nicholas so much these past few days, Amora's attitude made Helen feel even more challenged to be able to snatch Nicholas from Amora.

This afternoon Amora who was swimming alone was approached by Nicholas who had just joined in jumping into the pool, to be honest swimming with Nicholas made Amora even more in love. Moreover, Nicholas immediately hugged Amora's body and kissed Amora's lips.

“Nick,”

"What? You don't want me to kiss you?"

"Want to,"

"Now the look in your eyes at me is very different compared to when we were matched,"

"Oh yes? Different how do you mean?” asked Amora.

"As you look at me full of love,"

"It's impossible," said Amora, who still didn't dare admit her feelings to Nicholas.

Nicholas tightened his hug, making Amora even more happy to be hugged in the pool like now.

"Thank you Mora, if you weren't there maybe I wouldn't be able to deal with what happened lately,"

"I'm glad if you feel I helped you Nick, if I need a friend to talk to or if you really miss mommy Emma I will be happy to accompany you to visit mommy Emma's final resting place,"

“Yes, I will take you there again!” he said.

The next day, Nicholas who was feeling better decided to go to the office today as well as Amora who had missed too many lessons at her campus, today Amora would also go to college.

Early in the morning Amora, Nicholas and Billi were dressed neatly and had breakfast together.

"Mora, you have been very loyal these past few days accompanying Nick, you must have missed a lot of lessons at your campus, right?"

"No problem Dad, this is already my job,"

"You are a good wife you are just like Emma," said Billi.

Billi's words made Nicholas turn to the chair where Emma usually sat at breakfast with them, Billi, who realized that she had made Nicholas sad again, immediately changed the subject.

"I mean Mora you're a good girl and perfect for Nick,"

"You praise Dad too much, but I'm the best, right?"

Billi and Amora laughed together while Nicholas only focused on breakfast.

"Mora, I'll take you to campus!"

"No need Nick, I can take a taxi or be accompanied by your driver,"

"It's fine I'm not in a hurry!"

"Okay,"

Nicholas took Amora to his campus, on the way Nicholas, who was thinking about male lecturers who were close to Amora, decided to ask Amora.

"You are close to male lecturers at your campus, Mora? I saw you chatting and laughing together."

“Daniels? Yes, we are good friends, he is a very competent, friendly lecturer and makes me feel at home taking classes for a long time,"

"After divorce from me you intend to marry your lecturer?"

Nicholas' question immediately made Amora's heart stop, what kind of question was that? Amora really doesn't understand why Nicholas is discussing the issue of divorce again after going through so many things together so far, does that mean that Nicholas still intends to divorce her? Was Nicholas not in love with her at all? All these questions are now spinning in Amora's head.

"Mora, you're not answering? Does that mean you're really going to marry that lecturer?”

"Erm, I-I don't know yet!" said Amora.

"But isn't I more handsome?" he asked.

Amora just kept silent and did not answer.

"I know maybe you hope that we will divorce after my mother is gone because she wanted this marriage, but Mora can I ask for a little more time? I don't want us to get divorced when my mommy just died, how about that?"

"Yeah, it's up to you,"

"You are very kind my little girl," said Nicholas while ruffling Amora's hair.

To be honest, at this time Amora's heart was very disappointed because it turned out that Nicholas was very serious about the agreement to divorce when the two of them were officially married, Amora thought that after all this time with Nicholas she had forgotten about the agreement, and Amora thought Nicholas had fallen in love with her but it turned out to be all wrong, Nicholas indeed will never fall in love with him and will never be faithful to one woman.

Arriving at campus, Amora immediately got out of the car without saying anything to Nicholas!

"That kid, can't he wave at me?" muttered Nicholas.

Nicholas' car left the Amora campus, while Amora looked sad and lethargic walking to class! Daniel, who happened to be passing by, saw Amora and approached Amora.

"Hi,"

"Hi, Daniel,"

"Where have you been Mora? I haven't seen you for a few days and you haven't replied to my messages either."

"Sorry Daniel, but these few days I've been busy with family matters!"

"Okay, but are you okay?"

"Yes, I am doing okay,"

“Aaa, my gosh,” Daniel groaned.

"What's wrong Daniel?" asked a worried Amora.

"There was something in my bag it seems, and it bit my thigh Amora,"

"Open it and see what's inside."

Daniel unzipped his briefcase and shoved one hand inside his bag.

“Aaa Mora please, I was bitten!”

Amora, who was worried that there was something fierce animal in Daniel's bag, immediately helped Daniel by putting his hand into Daniel's bag to remove Daniel's palm from inside his bag.

But instead, Daniel took Amora's hand along with a fairly large chocolate bar from inside her bag. Amora, who was scared half to death, immediately laughed at Daniel's naughty behavior.

"Oh my God, Daniel you are too much! I was already very scared, it turned out to be chocolate, oh my God, "

Daniel laughed happily because he had succeeded in making Amora both scared and laugh, all done to make Amora's gloomy face able to smile and laugh again.

"This chocolate for me?"

"Yes, I should have given it a few hearts ago but because you didn't go to college, I'll give it now,"

"Thank you Daniel, I will be happy to finish this chocolate,"

"You're welcome,"

Meanwhile, Nicholas who had just arrived in his room was immediately visited by Helen! Helen hugged Nicholas tightly because she felt homesick and worried about Nicholas' condition for the past few days.

“Oh my god Nick, where have you been? I was really worried about you."

Nicholas let go of Helen's hug.

"I'm fine just need a little time to accept reality,"

"I'm sorry Nick, actually I came to the funeral home and I have also continued to visit your house for the past few days but have always been chased out by security assigned by your wife,"

"Oh yes? Did Mora do that to you? I think he is still very upset because of what happened at that time, you just understand him, "

"Yeah, I understand Nick it's just that I really miss you!"

Helen wrapped her arms around Nicholas' neck.

"Helen, I'm still in a state of grief please stop,"

Helen finally lowered her hands and understood the current situation.

"I'm sorry Nick"

"Continue with your work Helen, because today I want to keep myself busy with work,"

In the afternoon, Helen approached Nicholas and gently massaged Nicholas's shoulders.

“Nick, I know you must still feel sad! Come with me to a place where you can pour out your sorrows!”

"Where to?"

"Secret, come with me!"

Because he really needed a lot of entertainment and diversion so as not to continue to be sad because of his mother's death, Nicholas agreed to join Helen this afternoon.

The car driven by Nicholas drove towards a house that had a super wide yard equipped with a lake! Security also let Nicholas' car into the area of ​​the house.

"Helen, whose house is this?"

"My adoptive parents, they are the ones who paid for me to graduate from college Nick, even though I don't live here but I often visit this house! Look there is a lake that is so wide,

The two then got out of the car, Helen took Nicholas' hand towards the lake.

"Wow, Helen is so beautiful,"

The lake is overgrown with lotus flowers and there are cranes around it too.

“Here you can scream as loud as you can Nick! If I scream out loud, I feel my burden is gone, try it, "

"Should I do that?"

Yes, give it a try

Nicholas shouted at the top of his lungs near the lake and it was done repeatedly because it really felt so relieved! It turned out that what Helen said was true, after screaming loudly the burden in her heart and mind felt gone.

"You're right, I feel very relieved Helen but will your foster parents hear my screams?"

"They are rarely at home, only Sunday or Saturday they come to this house!" she said.

Nicholas sat on the edge of the lake then Helen took his cell phone and asked to take a photo with Nicholas.

"Nick, smile!" she said.

"Cis," Helen said again.

Nicholas smiled looking at the camera.
