A Match for Him
56 Take care of you
Chatting with Dika, like reading a book but in a fun way. Dika has extensive knowledge.
"I always remember, you used to be with Freya, Arby and Ikmal, and it turns out it's still there. I'm so envious."
Nuna immediately smiled because of that. Dika envied, but not just what years he had happened to them all this time. Maintaining their friendly relationship was already like maintaining a household. A lot of problems happened, and it was heavy.
The smile on his face instantly disappeared, when he remembered that his parents, who had lived far from him, could not or were tired of maintaining their domestic relationship.
They're already on each other's way of life, and it's without him.
"You also must still remember very well then, if I used to often .. no, not often, but always bullied."
Dika nodded, there was no intention to dodge or evade, because that was the reality.
Nuna, the bullyan girl!
That's the nickname Nuna used to have.
"But now you're better. You and Freya have made your dreams come true, become doctors." Dika smiled gently, while looking inside the girl before him.
"Yes, of course we have to make our dreams come true."
"I thought you were dating Arby or Ikmal."
"Yes, no, I was. Wherever possible, they're my best friends."
"But what's called a friend doesn't mean you can't fall in love."
"Who, Arby and Freya?"
Nuna just smiled. Arby is proof of the words of a friend so love .. or maybe at first love disguised friendship?
"You used to be so arrogant with me. Invite acquaintances to be quiet. Terusss is the same road as Freya, Arby and Ikmal. Freya is too, very bad. I still like judes, don't I?" Dika laughs. It was not a mockery, but a protest against the attitude of the two women who have always been a memory for Dika.
Nuna smiled back. Her face sparkled as Dika told her about their childhood (which was not about bullyan). Nuna, Arby and Ikmal rarely talk about their time in Singapore, because at the end of the day, they will be sad because Freya is no longer the same.
Now, thanks to Dika, he was able to reminisce about that moment from a different person's point of view. Hear their story unfold from Ikmal or Arby.
"Actually that used to be a lot of envy to you."
"I? Envy the same me? Why that?"
"Yes, maybe because you can get close to Freya, Arby and Ikmal. You know for yourself, which family Freya comes from, plus Arby and Ikmal. They were envious ..why, sorry yes Nun, but why would the person they despised like you, be close to the three of them. Given the condition of your family, you are considered unworthy of being close to all three."
Nuna was not offended. He nodded in understanding. Let alone anyone else, he alone was confused. Why he, who is always bullied, ostracized and never thought to exist, could even be Freya's best friend. The smart little girl.
"Nuna, you know? Ever since I met and saw you, I've wanted to be a teacher."
"Why is that?"
"I want to take care of my students, not to distinguish them no matter what their family circumstances are. Maybe I used to have time to protect you, so I don't want anyone to have the same fate as you."
"Let's allow it from now on, I'll take care of you forever!"
