ANTIQUE NURSE
Season 2: Young Marriage
“It turns out you're beautiful too huh, His.”
“Dih..just realized what if I'm beautiful,” upset Anya.
“Beautiful the hell but close the same behavior your SOMplak, hahaha.”
“Bang Irvin rest nih.”
Anxious Anya beat Irvin's arm while he was singing his lips, making Irvin more anxious for the girl. His hand then caught Anya's hand, the soft sigh that was greeting now changed to a loud thump when their hands touched. Nervously, Irvin let go of his hand grip.
“You already have a boyfriend, His?”
“Not yet. Singles from birth I mah.”
“And you are beautiful. No one has a crush.”
“Widow make no mistake. Who has a crush on many, only I'm the one who doesn't want to date. My mistake is not going out. If you've met the right person, I want to get married.”
“Emang candidate you want rich how the hell?”
“The rich papi sama bang Aric lah.”
“Kirain rich stove mledug.”
“Can bengek have a rich husband he hahaha.”
Irvin laughed when he heard it. He also could not imagine, Anya who was lying side by side with Kenan, the stove mledug. Surely every day their household will be filled with chaos.
“Abang itself already have a girlfriend?”
“Udah.”
“Lah keep why not be taught to cafe earlier.”
“My relationship is the same he hangs.”
“Kok is?”
“She cheated, Her. And I also lost feeling with him.”
“Keep why are still courting?”
“I purposely made him date her side by side secretly. Want to see if he bothers to give an excuse to me,” Irvin chuckles.
“There must be a reason why he cheated. Don't-don't brother cheat first.”
“Traditional. I am the loyal type. Wherever I have time to cheat, my work is a lot.”
“Yes aja cinlok ama bang Barra hahahaha.”.
Anya's laughter just sounded like that. Not accepting with Anya's tearing, Irvin ruffled the girl's hair and then pinch both cheeks. Anya did not want to lose, she followed pinching Irvin's cheeks. So excited, Anya lost her balance and her body fell on top of Irvin's body. The man reflexively hugged Anya's waist until the position of the two was not spaced.
Anya was shocked when she realized the faces of the two were so close. Anya quickly pulled her body away from Irvin, making the young man let go of his embrace. The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
“Ehem. Home yuk, bang.”
“Ayo.”
The two then go hand in hand. Accidentally their hands touched. I wanted to feel like Irvin was holding that hand, but he was holding it. He doesn't want to make Anya uncomfortable with him anymore.
On the way home, the atmosphere between the two was not as good as before. Several times, Anya laughed when she heard Irvin's chattering. Anya did not expect to talk to Irvin could be this serious.
“Times know me to a prospective ex-brother ya.”
“Hahaha... new horrors me, candidate ex.”.
“Emang brother wants to continue dating her?”
“Ngga lah.”
“Makanya mending broke up aja bang. Keep looking for another woman who is more everything than her. Let him cheat on you brother. Keep if he asks to return, do not want.”
“Ready, temperature.”
“Sih.”
“Hahaha.”
Irvin's mood was really bright, as bright as the night sky filled with stars. It seemed like he was starting to fall for the beautiful girl who was beside him.
“Eh. Brother less romantic times.”
“Hmm.. it could be. The same girlfriend I was considered mulu times, rarely invited to the road. Because I was busy. Keep saying I'm stiff, 'cause I never kissed him.”
“Seriously? Do you know where?”
“I hearder himself fit mergokin him again the same way his infidelity. Yes nguping dikit it fitting they chat.”
“He should be grateful that you are not macem-macem with him. This even wants dimacemin-macemin hihihi.”
“Eh.. said Al wants to marry.”
“Iya. That's why I'm following her with a bang Viren. I just know how rich Vir is. He's a rich gong, if not afraid of the sound. Not sensitive to the person.”
Irvin was just bearded, but in his heart cheered to hear Anya's words just now. So there is nothing between Anya and Viren. Means his chance to get close to Anya is wide open.
“It's cool too if you marry young. So pas courting, kitanya already halal, free to do anything. Papi also said my ability to see kunti and friends will disappear slowly if I am married.”
“You also want to marry rich young Al?”
“Pengennya bang, but there is no candidate yet, very sad not anyway.”
“I have a candidate for you. Want to know me?”
“Totally? The guy is good not bang?”
“Good, handsome too. I'm working, so you won't be sparse if you marry him.”
“Bby deh, bang. I know the same I know who fits. I've seen jin mulu. Body lemes if abis meets them.”
Irvin pointed his vehicle to the shoulder of the road then stopped it. He unlocks the seatbelt and turns his body to face Anya. The man then extended his hand towards Anya.
“Apaan bang?”
“Known, my name is Irvin Mahaprana. I'm the first kid from Papa Radix and Mama Nabila. I'm 24 years old, and I'm working. I'm ready to be your future husband.”
“Apaan anyway. brother gaje.”
“This is welcomed dong hands, I pegel this,” Anya sing his lips but no doubt welcome Irvin's hand.
“Lavanya Pratista, youngest and most beautiful child of papi Cakra and mami Sekar. Has a handsome brother one, his name is Aric. I'm still in college. My advantage can see astral beings hahaha.”
Irvin smiled as Anya welcomed her helping hand while introducing herself.
“Ok.. If so from now on, I will be your future husband, yes.”
“Apaan anyway, bang. Urucine her boyfriend first, do not play ngelamar aja.”
“I'll break him up as soon as possible. But you want to give me a chance to be your future husband?”
“Hmm.. accept no? I'll think about it first.”
“Ngga problems. I'll keep waiting for you.”
“Abang kesambet jin where the hell?”
“Hahaha. I'm serious, His.”
Irvin scratches Anya's top of her head, then unexpectedly the man kisses Anya's back. A red tinge immediately adorned the girl's face. He quickly pulled his hand which was still in Irvin's grasp and threw his face to the side. Irvin returned to his original position and then put his seatbelt back on. The car he was driving drove back.
☘️☘️☘️
The atmosphere of the Liverpoolan cafe was filled with screams and cheers of supporters of both teams who were competing. The Blues are on the left. They were compact watching with blue dress code, mostly wearing the London team's proud jersey. Liverpool supporters are on the right. Like the team next door, the Reds supporter also uses a Liverpool jersey or red clothes.
Viren and Alisha sit among the other Liverpool fans. Before enjoying the match, Viren first changed his clothes with the Reds jersey that he deliberately brought from home. Alisha who does not know about the show together looks different from the others, because the girl is wearing a peach color dress. Luckily Viren brought the team scarf from the port city and put it on Alisha.
The game goes hard, still each team runs a pattern of defending and attacking. Sometimes they have to hold their breath when their favorite team is almost conceded. The match time has gone eighty minutes, but the position is still a draw. Both teams have not managed to break into the opponent until the score of glasses still survive towards the end of the game.
Three minutes before the long whistle sounded cheers from the right side. The mainstay Liverpool attacker finally managed to score a goal against the opponent through a free kick that he did. Alisha cheered in excitement to see her favorite striker score. Unknowingly the girl hugged Viren's neck. He forgot that the one watching with him was not Ezra. Usually it is the brother who always accompanies him to watch the game because their favorite team is the same.
“Eh sorry bang,” Alisha immediately let go of her embrace. To his embarrassment, Viren showed no expression at all.
The match continued until the referee gave four minutes. Both teams are relentless in playing a good game. But Alisha could not enjoy all that. He is not focused on the match now. The shame and disappointment that attacked him successfully broke his concentration.
The cheers of Liverpool supporters were immediately heard as the referee blew a long whistle. Alisha glanced at Viren who was sitting beside her. His favorite team won or lost, still no expression from the man. Alisha doubted the creature beside her. Viren is an AI robot in disguise. Imagining such a silly thing just now made Alisha smile to herself. It was caught by Viren.
“Why Al smile-smile yourself?”
“Ngga.. I again imagine that the brother turned out to be an AI robot,” Alisha giggled amusedly while covering her mouth with her hands.
PLASTERED
A flick landed on Alisha's forehead. The girl was surprised to get an impromptu attack and was amazed to see Viren's smile when she saw him grimace while wiping his forehead. For a moment Alisha was just silently glued, enjoying Viren's sweet smile which successfully made her heart beat fast.
“Sick that?” viren's question awakens Alisha from her daydream.
“Sick really bang. It's rich I have to have a CT scan, fearing a concussion.”
“Lebay, since when did you catch her stomach Anya.”
“Since Malin Kundang cursed to be lemper, bang hahaha.”
Again, Alisha manages to make Viren display her sweet smile. It felt like he was capturing Viren's smile with his phone. But baby, he doesn't have that much courage.
“You want to go home now?”
“Iya bang. Malem also.”
“Ayo.”
Alisha got up from her seat and followed Viren's steps that had already left. He opened the car door and sat himself in the driver's side seat. Several times the girl tried the seat belt rope, but to no avail, it seemed to be stuck. Alisha held her breath as Viren suddenly leaned towards her to help.
After two experiments, Viren finally managed to pull the rope. The sight of the two met as the man linked the seat belt rope. Time seemed to stop when the netra they locked each other up. Viren's sharp eyes were against Alisha's. It was like a magnetic field was between them. The girl's heart stopped beating as Viren stroked her hair.
“Al...”
Alisha awakens from her delusion when Viren calls her name. Viren looked at Alisha confused. From then on the girl just kept quiet while holding her seatbelt and now suddenly her face reddened.
“Why you? Pain?”
“Ng.. not bang.”
Alisha quickly put on her seatbelt. In his heart he cursed his dirty thoughts just now. How could he imagine Viren kissing her. Wanting it to feel like he was shoving his head against the window pane, but not daring, fearing that Viren would be astonished at him.
On the way home, there was no conversation between the two. Alisha continued to set her gaze to the side window. Viren himself is not interested in playing car audio. Be the atmosphere of their journey as silent as in the grave. Finally the atmosphere of not wearing it ended as well when Viren's vehicle stopped in front of Juna's house.
“Still yes, bang.”
“When we flare again yes.”
“Iya bang.”
Alisha got off the four-wheeled vehicle and rushed into the house. Seeing that Alisha has entered, Viren returns his car.

With a lethargic step Ravin went down the stairs then towards the dining room. Missed to look at this firstborn who looked pale and unexcited. His hand moved to touch Ravin's forehead, his son's body temperature was hotter than usual.
“You're hot, Vin. Mending don't work first.”
“Iya ma, I called Ezra earlier.”
It wasn't long before Kevin and Viren joined. At a glance Kevin looked towards Ravin who looked unwell. Already this week the Arjuna hotel is busy with several events. Many parties use the services of the hotel to organize events. And Ravin's been staying at the hotel for a week.
“Pa.. know not Arcapada Group?” Viren opened the conversation.
“Know. Why?”
“That's a big company huh?”
“Before, but now they are again on the verge of bankruptcy. There is a bias for position. Mr. Thomas has three sons and all of them are ambitious to hold the position of CEO. Finally they follow-up and do not focus on the same progress of the company. Their stock price dropped in the market, now they are looking for partners to stabilize the company.”
Viren was silent for a moment, he tried to relate what his father said to the information that had just been received from Jacob. His friend told him that the owner of the car he saw two days ago was Reymond, son of Baskara, one of the heirs of Arcapada Group.
“Your thesis is done?” kevin's question breaks Viren's daydream.
“Already pa, the day after I trial.”
“Decide you want to start work where. It's not the time for you to mess around.”
“Iya, pa.”
“How about you help your sister at the hotel."
“Do not ma. The Arjuna Hotel will go bankrupt. People are hard to smile with the average face of her model, even making guests on sawan,” timpal Ravin.
“Through my brain, can help add hotel occupancy,” cocky Viren.
“In the hotel do not need a pinter brain, but pinter get along, friendly and cheap smile. If you work at a hotel, in the middle of management employs AI robots instead of humans.”
Without giving Viren a chance to reply, Ravin immediately got up from his seat and returned to his room. Viren was even pensive to hear the words of her brother just now. The words are exactly the same as Alisha.
“You work together papa aja. It just so happened that Papa's secretary was retiring. You have learned to take the place of Papa. Two more years Ezra will rise in place of Juna om. Your brother won't join the company, he'll be in charge of the hotel. So, you better be accompanied by Ezra.”
“Iya, pa.”
Kevin was quite relieved to hear the child's answer. He and Juna had indeed talked about this before. Juna does not want to take others to be Ezra's companion. Kevin initially offers to Ravin, but is rejected. His eldest son was indeed more happy to work related to many people. Working in the hospitality field has been his passion for a long time. Unlike Viren who is more like himself.
After finishing her breakfast, Viren returned to her room. Not long after he came back with the bag in his hand. The man said goodbye to his parents and went to college. He had to take care of various requirements to face his thesis hearing the day after tomorrow.
☘️☘️☘️
Angrily Alisha kicked the leaking tire of her car. Looks like the tires hit the nail on the road. Damn again, because it set out in a hurry, his phone until left at the dining table. The girl looked around, as far as the eyes could see she did not see the existence of the workshop.
An SUV passed in front of him and stopped not far from his car. Out of it came a man of Ezra's age. While taking off his sunglasses, the man approached Alisha.
“Why?” ask the man.
“Ban car leaked.”
“There are spare tires? Let me help you change,” bargain the man.
Alisha was silent, not refusing but also not agreeing. The girl's eyes looked at the man in front of her. The man's height was on par with Ezra's, having a flat yellow skin, a haircut and two dimples instantly visible when the man smiled. Physically, the man has an attractive appearance, but that does not apply to Alisha. The girl was still always wary of strangers she had just met.
“Halo.” the man waved his hand in front of Alisha's face.
“Where is the spare tire, let me help.”
“Ngga. I'm waiting for a friend who will help. He'll be coming soon, kok.”
“Ok. I'm Reymond.”
The man named Reymond extended his hand to Alisha. The man's hand hung for a while before Alisha returned her words saying her name. Reymond smiled showing off his dimples. As much as possible she exudes charm on Alisha to impress her.
“You're still in college?”
“Iya.”
“What majors?”
“Dago – Ledeng,” replied Alisha origin who immediately greeted Reymond laughter.
Reymond looked at Alisha. Besides being beautiful, this girl also has its own charm. He was more interested in approaching her. Just now Reymond was about to ask again when someone came up to them.
“Al..”
“What do you want?!” ketus Alisha on Lisda. The woman has been bothering him lately.
“I told you I just wanted to apologize.”
“Save your bullshit. Better get out of here!” hardik Alisha's.
Reymond's view cannot be separated from Alisha. It seems clear that Alisha is not comfortable with the presence of the woman named Lisda. The man approached Lisda then pulled the middle-aged woman away from Alisha.
“Sorry, mom. He did not like the presence of his mother. Better mom just go.”
“Please don't interfere, I just want to get sorry from him.”
“But not by forcing like this!”
Alisha looked at the debate of two people nearby. Both Lisda and Reymond made her uncomfortable. He decided to avoid both. Just a few steps away, a car stopped nearby. Viren came down from inside.
“Your car why?”
“Abang.”
Alisha's reflexes are closing in on Viren. The girl's reflexes hugged Viren's arm, as if asking for protection from him. The arrival of Viren shocked Reymond and Lisda who were arguing.
“Ban your car leaked?” ask Viren again.
“Let me drive home. Just stay your car here, let the workshop people take it.”
Alisha nodded her head. Accompanied by Viren, he returns to his car. After picking up the bag and locking the car, Viren asks him to get into the car immediately. From inside the car Alisha notices Viren talking to Lisda and Reymond.
“Stop your theatrics. If you still dare to approach Alisha, don't blame me for being rude to you!”
Finished making his threat, Viren immediately got into his car. Before long his vehicle raced leaving the two men behind. Reymond kicked the pebble that was nearby. Then he turned towards Lisda.
“Basic does not work! You should try more!”
“Alisha now is not the Alisha I used to obey. I told you that!”
“If you can't get me close to Alisha, I won't pay your debts. Remember that!!”
Reymond got into his car. For the past two months she's been spying on Alisha and working with Lisda to get close to the girl. In order to help her father gain the throne of leadership in the Arcapada Group, the man intends to approach Alisha. If she manages to get close to Alisha and make her fall in love, then Reymond will easily marry her. That way the goal is achieved. Through the help of Juna, the father will get the CEO position he had always wanted.
The car Viren was driving kept on sliding. Alisha looked at the road she was walking through, this was the road to her father's office not the road to home. He turned his head towards Viren who kept his gaze fixed forward.
“Abang to dad's office?”
“Iya. Have a trial maybe I'll work there directly.”
“Oh.. when is brother trial?”
“Lusa. Hmm.. I may ask you please, Al?”
“Ask what bang?”
“Help me ready for consumption for the trial. Miss Jeprut couldn't help she said.”
“Who's miss jeprut?”
“Anya.”
“Hahaha. Okay, bang. What heavy food snack want?”
“If both bother?”
“Ngga. How much pax?”
“100.”
“Ready bang.”
Alisha put her hand on her forehead like she was respecting a flag. And as a gift of her ability, the man again threw her sweet smile. Don't be asked how happy Alisha feels right now.
