38 Chapter 10: 'Mission: Capture Leila's Heart Attempt No. 2

Nicolas' face is cannot be painted right now as his brows is scrunched downwards and you could feel that the air inside the car seems to feel like it become colder. But, his father who sits beside him is turning a blind eye towards Nicolas searing stare at him and just started to whistle. His brother who is seated on the farthest left side of the car busied himself on his phone. Luis also seems to be busying himself with his phone but he could see that his hands were shaking due to nervousness while typing on his phone. Then, lastly, Vincent just focuses his eyes on the road.

It seems like no one wants to talk to Nicolas.

Luckily when he smelled himself earlier, it's only pure water that was poured on him, he thought that it was urine that was splashed on him earlier as it came from the chamber pot. And, so he deduced that maybe, it was not an accident at all and Leila's grandma and mother are only acting. As he thought about it, he just sighed internally.

You're asking how he was now inside the car, right now? Well, his threat earlier to break the window appears to have work or maybe his father just have mercy on him as he would probably caught cold if he stayed too long outside.

He's also amazed as his father drape him with a bath towel when he entered the car which he saw that his father prepared earlier before they went out of their house. He asked what is it for but his father just shrugged and said that it might be cold outside so he prepared it for himself.

Now, he's thinking that maybe his father already predicted that this might happen. And so, he sharpens his gaze towards his father which, once again, was ignored.

So, the whole journey towards their home, only silence engulfs the whole car and only tension coming from Nicolas engulfs the whole area.

Once they reached home, Nicolas hurriedly run towards his room unto his bathroom to take a quick bath. After, taking a bath and change his clothes, he went onto their study room and there he saw his father, his brother Nathan and Luis that betrayed him earlier.

"So, your plan failed, father", Nicolas said in his ice cold tone while gritting his teeth indicating that he is still angry about what happened earlier.

"Well, in the battlefield, it's normal that some mishaps happen that leads to the failure of the mission. And besides, I didn't know that you have a frog voice. Maybe, that's the reason why they got irritated at you", his father said trying to pacify his mood then also blaming him to be the cause of the failure of their 'mission'.

Nicolas felt his lips twitched then thought, 'Are you really my father? How can you be so cruel towards your son?'

Nicolas just sighed and let it go as he knows that it was not entirely his father's fault. It was actually n.o.body's fault.

"So, what else do you have in mind father?", Nicolas inquired in his normal tone once he regain his composure.

"Well, you could start by chopping woods for her family?", Gen. Adrianno said as he thought about the traditional way of courting.

"Father, we are living in an urban area and besides they have stove inside their house. Why would they need a wood for?", Nicolas said exasperatedly for his father's ridiculous ideas.

"Then, get some water from the well for her family?", His father once again suggested.

"Once again, father. We are living in an urban area and they could just open their faucets if they want some water. Besides, they don't even have a well inside their house!", Nicolas exasperatedly replied to his father's another ridiculous ideas while suppressing the growing irritation in his heart.

"Well, I don't have any plan yet. I will tell you once I thought about it. Why don't you give your brother some ideas, Nathan, maybe you have some in your head", Gen. Adrianno said as he turned his head towards Nathan's direction.

"Well, I do have a plan", Nathan said which is very surprising as he rarely opens his mouth. And so, Nicolas along with Gen. Adrianno and Luis started to listen to Nathan's suggestion attentively.

The next day.....

Today is Sunday and it was a routine for the Cara family to go to church and attend a Sunday's ma.s.s.

It is currently eight in the morning and they still have an hour before the start of the ma.s.s so, they are currently eating their breakfast.

Without them knowing, the four men who visit their house last night is once again right outside their house and is currently busy as they setup their things.

"So, this, is your plan?", Nicolas inquired to his brother slowly while he looked at all the items on the ground with confusion.

Nathan just nods his head then he set up the things needed once again.

Nicolas just looked questioningly towards his brother's plan as he sets up the two drones that has three balloons each and has a red thin blanket that joins the two drones and has a message printed on it 'Can I court you, Leila Cara?'.

Well, Nicolas thought that maybe Leila, just maybe, she would be move even a little to this attempt of his. Then, once again, he walk towards the gate of Leila's house with another set of bouquet of flowers in his hands while waiting for Leila and her family to open the gate as he knows that they will probably go to attend the Sunday's ma.s.s today. While his brother and Luis started to operate the two drones.

Nicolas thought, 'Maybe, this thing will really work. If it really will, I will be forever indebted to my brother and will always be in his beck and call'.

Then, he looked towards his brother's direction and gives him his warmest smile which only garnered a disgust expression from his brother and Nicolas just felt his lips twitched due to his brother's reaction.

'Fine, I take back my words', Nicolas thought and face his head towards the gate once again.

At first, the drones were moving smoothly but, Nathan and Luis didn't thought that the drone couldn't handle the weight of the balloon, and the blanket and it swayed in the air and accidentally touched the live wire hanging above from the electrical post that caused it to malfunction and just suddenly falls down exactly were Nicolas stayed.

Luckily, only the blanket falls down on Nicolas' face while the two drones both fell down on the ground beside Nicolas.

Nicolas whose face is covered by the blanket furiously put away from his face the blanket that covers him. Then, he saw his brother along with Luis and his father, once again, hurriedly escapes towards their car.

Nicolas heard a voice coming from Leila's house.

"Dear, did you hear something like a buzzing sound?", Leila's grandma said as she asked her husband.

"No, I didn't hear anything maybe you're just imagining things", Leila's grandpa replied.

"Oh, okay. Then, let's go inside again", Leila's grandma replied.

Then, there was only a step that is probably going inside the house that Nicolas' heard. He came back to his senses then hurriedly picks up their trashes in front of Leila's house and hurriedly went towards their car though, he was once again barred to get inside their car but now, it was none other than caused by his brother.
