Chapter 402 - Going Hunting (1/2)
”Why do you need to clear your name? What I said was the truth,” Nico teased him on purpose.
Raka's eyebrows rose. ”Nico, do you want to keep pretending like this? I'm going to visit your favorite dentist,”
”I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Don't be so serious,” Nico laughed and called Aiden by phone. ”Uncle, auntie is hungry. I've ordered snacks for her. When are you coming back?”
”One in the afternoon, go to the restaurant on the second floor for lunch. I will follow later. You can eat first. No need to wait for me,” said Aiden.
”What are you doing, uncle?” Nico asked curiously.
”Hunting,” Aiden replied.
There was a hunting area provided by the hotel nearby. The place was quite far behind the hotel and in a forest area.
”Hunting? Why not invite me!” Nico said.
”I'll lend you my gun tomorrow,” Aiden replied.
”Okay!” Nico's eyes sparkled brightly.
”Raka is still at the hotel. Take care of your aunt,” Aiden said before hanging up the phone.
Nico looked at Raka who was sitting in front of him and said with a smile, ”Don't worry, Uncle. I will continue to look at Raka and not let him meet my aunt,”
Raka's face immediately looked grim. Even though he knew Nico said this to please Aiden, he felt a little disappointed when he found out that Aiden was still wary of him.
”There's a prey,” Aiden immediately pulled the trigger of his rifle and then someone cheered. ”It worked!”
”What have you got, Uncle?” Nico asked excitedly.
” A wild boar,” Aiden replied before turning off his cellphone and approaching his prey.
Nico immediately said to Raka excitedly, ”Raka, my uncle got a wild boar. Tonight we will have a good meal!”
”You didn't allow me to meet all of them. I won't be able to join,” Raka said, rolling his eyes.
After thinking for a while, Nico came up with an idea and said, ”You could say your car broke down halfway and came back to stay one night until your car was repaired,”
Raka glared at Nico. He was really upset about having to get involved in his friend's lie. ”Nico, aren't you tired of teasing everyone like this?”
Nico just winced when he saw his friend. ”What else can I do to please myself? I'm really stuck with the problems in my family. My father is not there. My two uncles had a fight. Grandpa is very cunning. It's hard for me to survive in this family…”
”If Aiden doesn't do anything, Ivan won't start fighting him,” Raka said. ”You have to help both of them to make peace, don't make things worse. As long as they don't fight, you won't suffer,”
”Uncle Ivan didn't do anything, but what about his mother? I just have to wait for my engagement party and my grandfather will make the shares of the company a gift for me,” as he said this, Nico looked hopeful.
Raka just sighed. Every family had its own difficulties.
”I hope you can get what you want,” he said.
”Lisa promised to help me. If I can't get the shares, what's the point of me getting engaged to her?” The main purpose of Nico and Lisa's plan was to get shares from his grandfather.
”We are stuck in a complicated family. I also have to get engaged to a woman I don't love just for the sake of my company. We are wealthy but we don't have the freedom like ordinary people,” Raka smiled as if mocking himself. ”It's better to live alone abroad, being free and happy...”
”How can you go without returning to Indonesia? Sooner or later, we have to face all of this. We can't run away,” Nico said. He lifted the flashdisk he was holding and said, ”I'll go back to my room and see this,”
”What do you want to do?” Raka immediately reached out his hand to take the flashdisk, but unfortunately Nico was much more agile.
This made Raka lose his balance and his body fell forward, hitting Nico. One hand rested on the back of Nico's head and the other grabbed his shoulder.
