ALVARO BETTING GIRL
Still Injured

The dark atmosphere of the night but the sky decorated by the moon and the stars make this night look so beautiful let alone seen from the open without a single barrier.

The smile of the girl who was no longer this girl looked sincere but her eyes again gave off a clear liquid. He looked at the stars with a bitter smile while occasionally sighing. He wanted to speak but he had no friends to speak with. Can only hear the sound of the engine and the waves that do not know when the ship he was riding will dock in the harbor.

Sitting on the deck of the ship alone to avoid being caught crying again is enough to make the woman get calm but also return to recall her injuries. Precisely the wounds he had not long ago and unfortunately the waves had taken him so far but his heart and mind were still there. He was wrong to think his wound would heal soon. In fact, the wound was still gaping and he did not know how to treat it.

It is said that time will heal. He hopes time will help him heal from the heart and wounds he feels.

"Here, take this."

Nurul was shocked to see a broom hanging in front of him then he looked up and found a man staring flat at him.

Nurul hesitates to take the handkerchief and uses it to wipe away the traces of her tears.

"thank you. You shouldn't have to but I say thank you once again" Nurul said.

The man sat next to Nurul. Still with his flat gaze pointed towards the ocean. He did not look at Nurul even though he knew Nurul was looking at him questioningly.

"Two nights I've noticed you're still here crying. I don't want to interfere in your affairs but I can only say that there will be a solution. Don't cry for something but be strong for a problem. Life is never out of trouble. Doesn't the problem we face make us more mature? I'm not patronizing just sharing with you. If you listen to me, it's good and if you don't care either I don't lose."

Nurul slightly gasped at the man's words. The foreigner who was talking beside him learned that two nights ago he had come to the deck of the ship just to cry. Crying over his poor life and crying over why his heart is so longing for Alvaro. Obviously the man had already incised wounds in his heart and life but in reality the wounded heart still missed him.

"thank you. I'll listen to your words. Everything you say is not wrong. I'm just too whiny but I know crying is not the way out of trouble" Nurul said, then he turned his head back to the front.

"I'm Danish" he said, introducing himself without being asked.

Nurul smiled, "I'm Nurul," she replied.

"Okay Nurul yes, greetings know. Where are you going and where are you going?" tanya Danish began to accustom herself.

"I'm from Jakarta and I don't know where to go" Nurul replied as it was because it had been up to two days and two nights since he did not want to ask where Bu Uswa took them, he was sure that wherever it was must be a safe place.

Danish raised the corner of his eyebrow.

"How can you not know the destination address. It's weird!" danish murmured but it clearly sounded in Nurul's ears.

"Yes that's it. I only know that my mother took us to a safe and comfortable place, of course" Nurul replied as he was. "Where are you going, yourself?" ask Nurul.

"Cutties. I live there and yesterday there was work in Sukabumi. I should have been on a plane but I am also a person who wants to be free to feel the sensation of riding a ship. So I ran away and ended up here, hehehe."

Enough to make Nurul chuckle, the crisp laughter of the man who had just met him made Nurul laugh.

"Basic freak!" muttered Nurul while smiling knot.

From his stature Nurul saw this man was very handsome and his height was about 180 cm. Nurul estimates that he is around 27-28 years old. Seen from the moonlight, this man was truly dazzling. Suddenly Nurul remembers Alvaro and compares the two. His eyes are not blind if Danish is much more handsome than Alvaro but his heart voices if Alvaro is above everything else.

"Danish?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Can I ask you a favor?" nurul asked a little doubtfully.

"Say."

"Can you help me get a job later in a new place?" ask Nurul.

Danish was silent thinking.

Also true.

Nurul cursed himself who did not know where he was going but had asked about work.

"Tomorrow I'll tell you. Take it easy, I graduate in Law even though I have not had time to graduate and take my diploma," said Nurul.

"Well, the lawyer apparently. But you know that diploma is needed? Why haven't they been taken?" ask Danish.

"Yesterday I was supposed to be at graduation but since our time to stay at the parlour was over, my mother took me and my sisters away that day. I'm planning on going to graduation in a few months. But to get there I need a fee so I have to find a job," replied Nurul.

Oh, he's from an orphanage?

"You take it easy, I will definitely help you. Getting a job also gets a diploma," said Danish promising.

"Thank you" said Nurul.

Both of them also dissolve in silence while enjoying the gusts of the night wind in this open ocean. A few minutes later, Danish asked Nurul to go into her room as the air was getting colder and it was not good for her.

"Tomorrow I'll tell you. Wait for me at this place huh," Nurul said before he left Danish and the man nodded his head.

Stay Danish with a look forward. He was silent but not with his mind. I don't know what he was thinking but the man looked calm again.

"Gue didn't know what kind of feeling this was. I saw him cry yesterday why am I crying too? It was as if I felt his sadness. Seeing him smile and laugh like before, I felt like I was in his laughter. I feel comfortable but comfortable is different. I don't know what kind of feeling this is. I may not have fallen in love with him either. Anyway this is another, hard to explain," Danish monologue. He scratched his non-itchy head while occasionally muttering indistinctly.

.

.

As agreed last night, today before the ship docked the two met at the spot last night. Nurul has information about where he will stay and he can't wait to tell Danish. But until a few hours he waited for the man never came and Nurul made quite disappointed. His hope was dashed just like that. Just now he wanted to rise up in fact the person who advised yesterday actually reversed his own words.

Nurul was silent in his room and saw Bu Uswa and the sisters were chatting. Sometimes they laughed and it made Nurul smile.

This is my real family. And I, the eldest of the younger brothers, do not deserve to lament such a fate. I have to be their reinforcement. If I am weak, they are too. I promise to make you happy. You're my top priority once we get there. Maybe work and fortune is not through the help of Danish. But I am sure that God is fair and will not allow His servant to continue to suffer. Nurul's spirit, the spirit!

The ship rang and indicated that he would soon be docked at the dock. The more pounding also Nurul's heart because from now on the steps are different and a new life awaits him. No one is known and what his new environment is like, Nurul does not know yet. He was worried that they were not well received and what about the fate of his sister's school later.

Various thoughts and speculations made Nurul nervous himself. Bu Uswa patted her shoulder slowly and gave Nurul a smile. A warm smile that made all Nurul's fears and anxieties disappear.

The ship was already leaning and the passengers started scattering to get out and step on the ground. Nurul helps guide his younger siblings as well as carrying their winning belongings only a few. Luckily her sisters were more men so even though they were small, they were quite reliable to carry things.

As he was about to descend, someone patted Nurul on the shoulder and he turned his head. Feeling unfamiliar with the person Nurul was about to ask but the man first answered Nurul's question without asking.

"Sir Danish apologized for not being able to see you earlier. He left his business card for you" he said.

Nurul received the business card without reading it.

"thank you. Oh yeah, where's Danish?" asked Nurul cingak-celinguk.

"She had gone down faster because she had to be rushed to the hospital. He's probably just a regular fever, I'm sorry."

Nurul cursed himself who had bad thoughts to Danish even though the man was sick. Nurul kept the business card in his bag. He and his younger siblings began to climb down the stairs and finally managed to land his feet safely.

Goodbye Alvaro, goodbye memories and welcome new leaf.
