The sound of music is played soft and gently by the pianist in this room. There is a hansome man with a good body, standing and lay his back on the pillar, right at the corner. Alone, and lonely as always.
His name is Nicholas, or Nicko, yes just Nicko, a young man without family name, a husband of Josephine Windsor. She is the youngest daughter of one of rich and famous family in Westcoast Town, Edmund and Daisy Windsor. ***Today is a birthday of Howard, an elder brother of Edmund Windsor. It's a tradition for Windsor family gathering to celebrate a birthday or wedding anniversary. Everyone who came on gathering has to bring any present, of course. Honestly, present giving is a moment for showing off who is the richest, who glive the most expensive gift. "Daddy, i hope you like this priceless painting by Fransesca from 19th century. I am sorry for not spending more than a million dollar," Bryan Holf, his son in law is saying generiously but honestly he wants to show off. "You really a great son in Law, thank you, " Howard replys nicely while pating on his son in law shouder.Armando and his wife Chaterine, an elder sister of Josephine come closer then. Giving a box which has a watch inside, a collection of Baurielle with jewels around. It might cost around a million dollar also.A smile appears in Howard's face when seeing this couple. Armando Blanc is a son of a wealthy family. A million dollar gift is a small thing for him. Catherine is really lucky to be his wife. "Hi Nicko, what do you bring for my father birthday?" Damian, Howard's youngest son, shouts and makes that hansome man come closer to gis wife's relatives, suddenly. To be honest, he doesn't like this kind of gathering at all, but he has no choice. What Nicko can do is just nod and head down. Then, he ties to tell him bravely that he has nothing for gift. "I apologize for not having any gift," He answers timidly. "So, you came here with an empty hand? How silly you are," Armando, his brother in law is mocking him as always. "Armando, dont you remember the fact that he is depending his life to Josephine and his parent in law? He just a poor unemployement," Damian, Josephine's cousin try to make him feel worse. "Yes, you are right, i am sure that you wash your wife underwear, right?" Armando is sneering at him then laugh with Damian loudly. "Nicko, how ashamed you are. How dare you embarassing my birtday!" Howard seems unhappy with his niece's husband. As a man, he thinks this silly son in law has no respect to him. "You have no pride at all. What can you do is just make any trouble in my big family," Madame Elizabeth Windsor, grandmother of Josephine is now saying and angry. Finally, a young lady with a blonde hair and wearing her little black dress get closer to them. She is beautiful and ellegant, the woman in dream. She is Josephine, Nicko's wife. "Honey, please," she said then she puts her hand on his arm, take him away. Since Nicko does not want any trouble and argue, thus he agrees with his wife. Then turning his back. "Josephine, Grandma and your Uncle is not finish talking to your useless and ashamed husband!" Elizabeth shouts and stop her. Nicko is turning and face his wife family while holding her hand warmly. "I don't understand about you Josephine, Is there any great side of him, so you let this looser stay and keep him as a husband," Howard tries to express his dissagreement. "I love my husband," Josephine replys then glaced her husband and smile at him. Meawhile, Armando and Damian laughing and mocking at them. "What do you see from a looser like him. He is only a good looking unemployement. Soon, he will get older with full wrinkle on his face," Madame Elizabeth says."Good looking on face is has no meaning if there is no wealth or money," Catherine explains and make the others laugh. "After all, his liability is done, it's over. He just a subtitude groom for you, why you have to stay with him for two years?" Catherine remains her sister. Nicko marry Josephine because of the deceased of Mr. Gilbert Windsor's request. As a repay of his kindness, sending him to study till university. At that time, two days before Josephine's wedding, her fiancee Gerald Jones is dissapear and nobody knows where he going. To save Windsor's family from an embarassing thing, Nicko is asked to replace Gerald. Their relationship is awkward and empty earlier, because there is no love among them. Then, day by they everything is changed. Josephine's hurt is erased by Nicko's patience slowly, and the love is growing on them. Unfortunately, only Josephine and her deceased grandfarher who take and treat Nicko nicely. The Windsor's arrogance and pride is too high to take Nicko as a part of them. "Sue your useless husband for a divorce then marry Adrian Law. He is really fit on you," Grandma says assertively."Listen to your Grandma! You will live better and happier as your sister Catherine. Look at her, she alwyas buy fancy and beautifull dresses, going holiday and have fun. What about you? Your life is so poor, He cannot give you any fancy things, even for himself," What Damian said really makes Armando really proud of himself. "Right, Adrian is perfect for you, He came for a well known family, not a man from unknown like him," Catherine says while glanced at Nicko underestimating. Josephine does not care about any politeness at all, she grab her husband's hand and take him away. Still she able to hear how the Windsor ask her to be apart with her husband. ***"Honey, please don't get hurt with their words. Believe me, i won't leave you," Josephine is trying to make her husband calm down by rubing his arm. "What do they think about me is not important at all. The most important for me is you," Nicko answer it with a calm voice tone. While they are together, his phone is vibed. He is notified that Mrs. Watts, the one who live with him when she was a child is hospitalized. He has to be there and take care of her. "What's the matter?" Josephine asks curiously. "Mrs. Emily is hospitalized now and i have to stay with her," Nicko answera it lazily. He stayed with Watts family since she was a child. Unfortunately, they cannot treat him nicely and appropriate as a foster. They treat Nicko more like a servant than a child, geting any violance as a dicipline methode. The education service he gets is coming from Mr. Gilbert Windsor generiousity. "You need to go now?" Josephine asks once again. To be honest, he does not want to go, but again he has no other choice. Anytime and anywhere he goes always being bullied and insulted."Is that ok?" Nicko asks her. "It's ok and i'll go with you.""Don't bother Josephine, I don't want your family geting more upset to you. Let me go alone," Nicko asking a permission to leave then kiss his wife's forehead. ***In the meantime, Phillip Lloyd is visited by his personal asistance, Klyle Brenan on his luxury mansion.. His asistance bring a paper folder with a wellknown hospital in Westcoast Town's logo on it. "Mr. Lloyd, this is the test' result you need," He says and pass the paper folder to him. "Thank you Kyle," Phillip Lloyd said, then checking on the result of hospital's report seriously. Pay attention to every detail's shown, then put it on the table harshly. "Hmm, i thought it all already. That is why he has that kind of atitude," Phillip is muttering. "Kyle, we have to go now, and get our people ready!" Phillip gives command as a master.Nicko walks faster as he drops from the bus. He will not let The Watts mad at him.He remebers exactly, how he is punished by a cane on his calf when he got ten, just because he sets up the tea little bit late. Also Mrs Emily's anger, the one who always told him that he is abandoned by his real father.Feels like a boiling water on his heart everytime he remebered those things. All of them are horrible. Eventhough its horrific, but those give him much strengt to face the life, all the slurs by Windsor Family is not a big deal at all."Where have you been, so you came here by now. Do you want to see my wife die? Jamie Watts snaps at him then slap Nicko's cheek."I am in uncle Howard birthday party," Nicko says honestly."Huh! How could you have fun in a party meanwhile my wife is dying by her illness!" Jamie snaps at him once again.The fat and chubby man is pointing his finger on Ni
Nicko is standing in silence while squinting his eyes to see the desperate Jamie. Questioning what happend with this fat man, how could he loose his courage. His shown power and snobbery are disappeared directly."Russel, do you know what you have to do to a cheater?" Mr. Lloyd is asking to one of the black suit men, who is standing in a first row.Russell got a flat expression, no smile or laugh, seems never. Everything must be straight on him. May be Russell is a leader for them.Russel took a gun from her left waist. Wipe that black gun slowly right in front of Jamie's family.Flat expression is shown by Russell seems give him more strength and power. This makes The Watts feel more desperate.Jamie, the one who really fear of his death gives signal to his children. Ask them to go on their knee and begging for mercy."Please forgive us Mr.Lloyd, we have made a mistake. We are thirsty by your wealth
It's hard to believe for Nicko for what he sees in ATM' screen few minutes ago. This tall guy is waving his card next to the machine and confuse.Thirty billion dollar is a fantastic amount, especially for someone who never had much money as him. He is wondering about The Lloyd' wealth by seeing the ammount of his saving account. It could be one or five trillion dollar or may be more.The Lloyd prosperity is a common thing in Westcoast Town. Their various industry are well known, not only in the Westcoast Town but also around nation. The total of the Blanc's wealth is just little bit more than Nicko's money, and of course it could not be compared to the Windsor.Nicko's ATM card is a special edition. It's only created for those who has minimum a trillion dollars for wealth. At least that's what Nicko have seen on magazine."I will be able to gag them by this money," Nicko is thinking on his mind.What's on his
Howard Windsor opens the black box given by Adrian near to Josephine. This middle aged man do this in purpose, showing Adrian's charm in his beautiful niece, Josephine.A miniature horse coved by fine gold is in the box, a gift from the blonde man. In Howard opinion, that gift must be an extravagant. He guessed it might be million dollar."Wow, this so beautiful Adrian, thank you," Howard says with bunch of admiration."Do you like it?" Adrian asks and showing his pride."My Dad love it, absolutely, your present is totally awesome. You really care about our family," Damian says satire and see Josephine, because his husband brought nothing."Yes, you have much respect to my uncle," Armando is understand with Damian's meaning tell it so."You are so kind Adrian, the one on our family brought nothing, even it a jar of pickle," Catherine is quiping to her sister.
The room is echoing with people's laughing as they heard about Nicko's challenge. Nicko has been trying to shoot himself, that's in their mind."Are you sure about your will?" Adrian asks with his bunch of pride."Do you see I am joking?" Nicko replies.Josephine held her husband's arm so tight, it seems she disagree with his idea. This kind of thing looks childish to her."Huh, Boys will be boys," she talks in silence.Uncertainty is shown on her beautiful face. Adrian Law is prominent from a reputable family. He is well known as a public figure and upper class society.His popularity cannot be compared to Nicko, though he looks confident for now. His wife was heading down with fear. Nicko tries to rub her finger smoothly while he saw a change on her face."It's Ok, Baby," He is trying to calm his wife.Josephine nods and tries to get calm. Even though she has m
Nicko does the domestic work at home as he always be. Luckily, Edmund's house is not as bigger than Howard's.He has no regrets for doing all this kind of housework. What he is doing for now is an equality for his married life. Josephine, works for her family company to afford the needs include for her parents.It doesn't mean that Nicko has no will to find a job and support his wife. His decision to leave his previous occupation directly makes it difficult in finding a job for now. Whereas His previous job was in a small town with a less prestigious company.He got a job as a courier one day, but the Windsor disagreed with it. Working as a courier has no prestige at all and going to embarese the reputable Windsor. Thus, Nicko only stays home and does the housework.Even the Windsor don't really like Nicko, but his existence gives them an advantage. By his appearance, they don't need to hire a maid to do the housework.&
Nicko's Van has arrived at the hospital court. After he dropped the woman he loves for work.This 25 year old guy is walking fast with a wide footstep he made. He might be late to see Mr. Brenan. His Van is not considered a fancy car, that's why he has to park away from the lobby area.He was walking in a hurry and breathing faster as he reached the lobby. The people he knew were seen sitting on the sofa which is a bit hidden.A smile is shown in this pretty guy's face after he takes a deep breath. Two elegant men is sitting in front of him, one of them are holding a glorious cane. Behind him standing some men in a black suit."Forgive me for coming late, Sir, ". He said with polite."No worry. Have a sit young man, and stop calling me Master!" Mr. Lloyd is commanding him.Nicko sits and thinks about Mr. Lloyd Spoken in a while, which is. Asking him stop calling Master to Mr.Lloyd.
There was a change in Josephine's expression. When she heard what her Grandma said. She was excited earlier, and now she has no spirit at all, wishes that this meeting be over soon."Yes right, Mr. Law will not hesitate to spend his wealth for our company," Howard says."Absolutely, Mr.Law is really wealthy, and he seems to be many respect for our family," Now it's Grandma Elizabeth speaks.All the family members talk about how great and prosperous Law's clan is. They seem to be hypnotized by their clan, since they are two levels above them.Actually, this conversation is only to quip Josephine and disgrace her husband. They keep on talking and hope that she will do something to help them."Damian, why don't you try to talk to Adrian Law, you really get along, don't you?" Howard is asking while glanced at Josephine.Nevertheless, Nicko's wif
