ANTIQUE NURSE
Season 2: Young Kawula Romance

The atmosphere of Jagdish cafe has been crowded with visitors. Tonight there is a birthday celebration for one of the visitors. Birthday events take up almost half the cafe area. The owner wishes to ask the home band who perform singing songs that have been composed by him.

The home band that used to fill the show in this cafe could not perform and on their recommendation, the cafe owner asked The Myth band to replace it. At first Kenan was reluctant to take the offer because he wanted to relax this week. But as soon as he knew the birthday was a friend of Zahra's, the young man took up the offer. Of course, he got the info from Jacob. Kenan followed Freya's advice, gathering as much information as he could about Zahra from an IT expert called albino monkey.

While preparing the equipment, Kenan continued to glance towards the group of visitors who were celebrating their birthday. There was still no Zahra there. The young man continued his activities. Then the corner of his eye caught the girl entering the cafe. Dada Kenan immediately dangdut ria saw the arrival of his heart adoration.

With a gift in his hand, Zahra approached Wirda, his birthday friend. While talking, the girl said happy birthday. Kenan who continues to pay attention to him hopes that he is in the position of Wirda. Feeling Zahra's delicate cheeks clinging to her cheeks. The young man shook his head. Lately he has fantasized a lot if he meets Zahra. Perhaps this effect often sees live scenes of Kenzie and Nara making out at home.

“Who lo? Dizziness?” tergur Revan's.

“Kaga.”

“Heleh most again viktor him. Noh no Zahra,” timpal Viren.

“Whispering lo! Where is Anya?”

“Again pick up Al first he said.”

“Why don't you pick up Al?” Kenan looked towards Viren.

“What is my relationship? Kan elo ama Ikal the decetan of his house.”

“Elo ngarepin the sensitive chiler? Dream lo!” timpal Ikal which was immediately greeted by another laugh. The object of conversation seems to not care.

The loud laughter coming from the direction of the stage made Zahra turn her head in that direction. His eyes were round looking at Kenan who was tuning his guitar. Several times the girl blinked her eyes, afraid of seeing wrongly. But it turns out to be true. The young man who was on the stage was a patient who kept bothering him. Zahra hurriedly turned her body back to the stage. Don't let Kenan realize his existence.

Two cars stopped in front of the cafe. From the first car, Anya and Alisha get off and from the second car, Irvin is out. Seeing Anya, Irvin rushed over to the girl.Know Irvin approached her, Anya intended to go straight in, but late, Irvin had already arrived. Alisha chose to go straight in, leaving the two men to solve the problem.

“Hin.. can talk for a minute?”

“Sorry bang, others have been waiting.”

“After, His,” Irvin held back Anya's arm that was about to enter the cafe.

“Ya, what do you want to say?”

In fact Anya had already guessed what Irvin wanted to say. Sekar had told him that before leaving for Banda Aceh, the man in front of him met his parents. Apologized for his rude behavior on his birthday the other day.

“nya.. I'm sorry about the incident at that time. Sorry, I shouldn't have been rude to you. Sorry if I made you hurt.”

“Emang I was wrong, bang. I've wasted precious time brother, I've been sassy ngerayain birthday brother, make a surprise that even make bad mood. It's all my fault. Brother doesn't have to apologize. I'm a spoiled kid who likes to behave. And you're right, not everyone likes me. But my brother was calm, I learned a valuable lesson yesterday. From now on I will be careful and will not interfere with the lives of others again, especially living brother.”

Without waiting for Irvin's answer, Anya immediately entered the cafe. Given the rude attitude, unpleasant words heard and piercing gaze Irvin that night, making the pain of Anya who had drowned, now reappeared to the surface.

Meanwhile, Irvin just kept quiet. Anya's words just so touched her feelings. It was as if he was insinuating himself. The man became ashamed of himself, how much the man had hurt Anya. The girl who usually had a lot of smiles and was friendly to him now seemed to disappear.

Sighing a deep breath, Irvin stepped his foot into the cafe. In any case, he should be able to get an apology from the girl. Irvin looked around the cafe which was already crowded by visitors. On the right side of the cafe, the table is full because there is a birthday celebration. The man then headed towards the table that Alisha occupied. It just so happened that it was not too far from the stage.

“Hai Al,” greet Irvin while pulling a chair next to the girl.

“Where's sis? Doing the same thing?”

“Not yet. He's still mad.”

“Daily anyway, brother. I too if you were Anya would be hurt. Excuse her, bang. Apologizing is not as easy as making a heartache.”

“Makasih Al, make his syndicate.”

“Hahaha.. sorry bang.”

The conversation halted when the music came from the stage. Kenan began to sing his first song. Visitors at the cafe, especially women immediately raised their eyes towards the vocalist. Not only was he handsome, but he also had a sweet voice.

Zahra's friends were surprised by the performance of The Myth band. A look of adoration was immediately cast on the young man. Zahra just shook her head to look at the behavior of her friends. The girl chose to play with her phone and replied to a chat in an IGD group, where her current intern is.

After singing two songs, Anya went on stage. Now it's the girl's turn to perform. Anya spoke briefly with the personnel of The Myth. After agreeing to the song, the girl immediately took her place in front of the mic stand. At first glance he looked at Irvin who was sitting together with Alisha.

“Goodnight all.”

“Night.”

Looking at Anya, it was now Zahra's boyfriend's turn to react. Some were whistling, some were shouting while pulling out a fist, some were taking pictures of the beautiful girl.

“Happy birthday I say to the happy one tonight. Hopefully what he wants can soon be granted.”

“Aamiin..” reply Zahra friends.

“Without reducing the happiness of a birthday, let me sing a song outside of what is requested. What can?”

“Bby. What the hell didn't make you!” chirp one of Zahra's boyfriends.

“Create beautiful neng be free.”

“I am you beautiful. Can you contact ngga?”

“Huuu.”.

The words of the young man sitting near Zahra immediately reaped cheers and toys from his friends. Revan just shook his head to see their reaction to Anya's beauty. They had not seen how silly the girl was. Anya turned her head to Revan and then gave a sign to start.

Slow songs are starting to sound. Anya held the mic stand with her hand. He soon began his singing. The sound of applause and praise was immediately heard welcoming Anya's melodious voice.

“You don't know a thing at all. You don't know about the way I am when I am all alone.

You don't even know. The way I care, the way I've grown. You don't know about the way I love so deep to my bones. You don't even know me whoa.. whoa.”

Anya's eyes continued to stare towards Irvin while singing the refrain part. As if to affirm the man that this song is intended for him. Anya so pervades every lyric she sings and ends the refrain section by pointing her index finger at Irvin.

Similarly to Irvin, the man did not take his eyes off Anya in the least. He was well aware that the girl was insinuating him through the song he was singing. The lyrics to Faouzia's You Don’t Even Know Me are indeed fitting for him. Irvin doesn't know Anya. But because of Jihan's incitement, she arbitrarily gave a bad judgment to the girl.

After singing the song, Anya continued to sing the next song along with Kenan. A song that has been ordered by a birthday. Their melodious voice sounded very compact singing duet songs owned by John Legend and Faozia. Jealousy glares at the women when they see Kenan and Anya singing the song.

Zahra screeched at the sight before her. Somehow he was upset to see Kenan singing the song while looking at and holding Anya's hand. Without the girl realizing it, in his heart the young man cheered excitedly at the face of Zahra who looked careless with her affection with Anya. He manages to execute one of Freya's plans well. Makes the girl jealous.

But it is not only Zahra who is embarrassed to see the affection of Anya and Kenan on stage. Irvin also stared resentfully at them. Although he often saw Anya and Kenan duet, but tonight he felt something else. Angry, upset and possibly jealous. Since the night of his birthday, the man never stopped thinking about Anya.

Anya and Kenan's romance on stage is not over. They still sing love-themed duets. Zahra, who was busy with her phone, raised her head when she heard the couple sing Just a Kiss. The song he had sung with Kenan when filling the wedding reception Kenzie and Nara.

Zahra's memory was again thrown on the wedding night first. He seemed to experience dejavu when Kenan sang the same song and clasped the hands of his duet friends. It was just that the woman who was with the young man right now was not her.

Because of daydreaming, Zahra did not realize that the song sung just now was over. Anya immediately got off the stage. He was forced to head to the table that Alisha and Irvin occupied to wet his throat as there was no empty table left. Without asking for permission, Anya snatched Alisha's drink which was only a little left. Irvin thrust his still intact drink at Anya. Although reluctant, finally the girl took the glass as thirst still lingers. Secretly Irvin smiled at his behavior.

“Ok..The next song I also want to sing with a duet. Anyone want to be my duet friend?” asked Kenan and several girls immediately raised their hands.

Mata Kenan pretended to go around looking for a duet friend, even though he had found the target he would be invited to go on stage. The young man glanced towards Zahra who was still pretending to be busy with her phone. As if he didn't care about Kenan's words just now. In his heart, he wished that he was singing.

“Ok.. for beautiful girls who are busy playing hp. Can dong go on stage, my friends sing.”

Zahra raised her head. He was surprised as well because his wish came true. I heard cheers from his friends. Seeing that Zahra was still glued, Wirda stood up and took Zahra's phone. She pulled the girl up from her seat and was pushed closer to the stage. Kenan immediately welcomed the arrival of Zahra with great joy.

“Hai.. what's his name?” ask Kenan.

“Zahra,” replied Zahra lazily.

The laughter of the cafe patrons and Kenan's jokes also made Zahra smile. But not with Anya. The girl clenched her hand towards the mledug stove.

“What song do you want to sing?”

“Free aja.”

“Then song...”.

Kenan whispered a song title in Zahra's ear. The girl nodded in agreement. The young man looked at his friends and raised his thumb. He had planned to sing the song with Zahra.

“One.. two. go..”

Kenan gave a warning and the sound of music also flowed. Those who know the song stand up. They want to dance to a medium rhythmic song but it is good to be a friend of a rocking duet. A duet with the theme Love, titled Could I Have This Kiss Forever.

Kenan's melodious voice began the song, singing part belonging to Enrique Iglesias. His eyes looked towards Zahra. As if to say the lyrics of this song is intended for him. How that girl has driven him crazy. Zahra sang a part of Whitney Houston. And when the refrain sounds they sing the lyrics simultaneously.

“Could I hold you for a lifetime? Could I look into your eyes? Could I have this night to share this night together? Could I hold you close by me? Could I hold you for all time? Could I, could I, could I have this kiss forever? Could I, could I, could I have this kiss forever?”

They continued to sing the song with both hands looking at each other and eyes looking at each other. So absorbed in the song, and as if hypnotized by Kenan's melodious voice and body language, Zahra did not realize that Kenan's other hand was perched sweetly on his waist.

An envious shout was heard seeing Kenan and Zahra's affection on stage. Anya just rolled her eyeballs looking at her cousin's fashion. He snatched his bag, intending to go home first.

“Gue go back first yes, Al. Tar lo ask for anterin aja same one demit in sono or the same bang Irvin.”

Without waiting for Alisha's reply, Anya immediately moved from her seat. The girl pointed her hand at her car when she got to the parking lot. But his eyes rounded to see his car tire deflated. Not just one but all. He believes someone has already done it. Anxiously his foot kicked the front tire of his car.

“Aaaaa..”.

Anya was suffocated when she felt her ankles being touched. Inching backwards he directed his gaze towards the bottom of the car. The girl was surprised to see a hand coming out from under her car. Shortly followed by the head of the hand master.

Anya's reflexes are running backwards. Again he saw the apparition and this time what he saw was really creepy. The face of the long-haired woman was flat, there was only an eye above her forehead and yet covered in blood. His fingernails are long and there are also blood spots. Anya's hand held tightly to her necklace pendant.

“Nan.. Nan..”

The girl continued to call her cousin, but only a stifled voice could be issued. Anya's body also felt heavy to move. He tried hard to avoid that creepy figure who kept trying to get close to him. Suddenly a hand pulled him until his body turned around. Instantly the subtle-creature disappeared.

Irvin who followed Anya was a little suspicious when he saw the girl was surprised as if seeing something. Recalling Olivia's story of Anya's ability to see subtle creatures, the man rushed over to Anya. Irvin's hand tightly hugged Anya's back and buried the girl's face into her chest.

For a while the two were still in the same position until finally Anya broke away from Irvin's embrace. Afraid she looked back. There was a sigh of relief when the creepy creature had disappeared.

“Still there?” ask Irvin.

“Ngga. Ud been missing.”

Irvin looked at Anya's car, there was nothing there. Then his gaze was fixed on the flat tire of Anya's car.

“Ban your car deflated?”

“Iya, everything.”

“Kok can?”

Anya just shrugged her shoulders. Irvin checked around Anya's car and indeed the four sedan-type car tires were deflated. He immediately contacted his subscription workshop and asked them to tow Anya's car to the workshop.

“Let me drive home. Your car will be towed to my subscription workshop.”

There was no rejection from Anya. He just accepted Irvin's offer. He was afraid the creature was following him. Irvin opens the door for Anya, letting the girl in first. The man closed the car door after his ass landed on the driver's seat. Before long the wheels of the vehicle began to roll leaving the cafe area.

“Still yes, New.”

“What do you do?”

“Song earlier. I know you sang it for me, right?”

There was no response from Anya. The girl just nodded. His frustration with Irvin was slightly lessened because the man had helped him from the astral beings that were bothering him earlier.

“You really, I don't know anything about you. Sorry for being rude to you. I'm pulling my words at you. Well, even if there is no effect at all because let me say sorry a thousand times and retract my words, still your heart has been hurt. Is communication irreversible, right? (communication is irreversible, right?) words that have been thrown will not be able to be withdrawn and the effect of it has been felt as the communication progresses.”

Anya just smiled thinly. Irvin's style of speech reminded him of the lecturer of inter-persona communication courses. Lecturers who are half a century old can always decipher the material with easy-to-understand language.

“But beyond the lyrical meaning of the song, I'm glad the way you brought it. Your voice is so sweet, yes. If my voice wasn't like a can of rhombeng, maybe I would like a duet with you.”

Irvin's words this time successfully made the girl laugh. The awkward atmosphere between them had already begun to erode bit by bit. The man glanced at Anya and as the girl also looked towards him, a gentle sigh greeted.

“You're the laper not?”

“Laper anyway?”

“You eat no? I'm also laper.”

“Bby.”

“Where do you want to eat?”

“Free bang.”

“Ke Cartil want to? There's a new place to eat there.”

“Bby bang.”

“I forgot. By-by making you miss,” Irvin patted his forehead.

“By what bang?”

“Bakpia Sabang. You love Bakpia Sabang.”

Anya smelled her smile. Didn't expect Irvin to know one of his favorite foods. Every time Cakra or Aric visited Banda Aceh, he always asked for the souvenir. The shape is the same as bakpia Yogya, but the skin is softer.

“Abang when to go home from Sabang?”

“Tadi afternoons.”

“Eh.. We eat somewhere else, do not go to Cartil, it is far, later brother tired.”

“Ngga really, I'm not tired already dapet booster from you.”

“Apaan?”

“Voice of melodious plus your smile.”

“Hadeuh kumat deh gombalnya , ketangsangan bang Barra, yes.”

“Hahaha.”

Irvin's vehicle continued to drive towards the Cicaheum area and then turned his car into Padasuka area. The four-wheeled rider continues to walk past Saung Udjo and drove straight to one of the places that are usually visited by young people for dating, because the Cartil area does offer a pampering view.
