ANTIQUE NURSE
Season 2: First Man
Kenan sat quietly on his motorcycle, watching the busy Ewok kang spread the martabak dough. The man's hand movements were quite fast, in a short time the dough had already entered the frying pan. Then Kenan's eyes unintentionally looked towards the buyer who had just arrived. He rushed down from the motorbike and approached the buyer who had just taken the queue number.
“Hai injectable.” Kenan towers Zahra's arm, making the girl sting.
“Ih ngagetin aja.”
“Eat him don't daydream.”
“You are rich in ghosts, everywhere there is.”
“That's the sign we're a soul mate. Where there are you there I eaaaa.”
Zahra nodded her smile. For a long time he began to get used to hearing Kenan's fuss. The young man never got tired of chasing him and threw words that sometimes sounded strange in the ear. Kenan was the first man to go after him. Usually the man who chased him stopped in the middle of the road once he got his jutek attitude.
“What are you doing here?”
“Yes buy martabak kang Ewoklah, look he made martabak. Who do you buy martabak for?”
“Create my sister. He's sick again, he wants to eat martabak he said,” explained Zahra.
“Sama dong's. I also bought it for my sister-in-law. She craves to eat martabak bang Ewok same pure milk.”
“Who?”
“Kak my sister-in-law.”
“Yang.”
Kenan smiled curiously at Zahra. Now the girl could already reply to his words. But that just makes him more anxious.
“Your sister-in-law was in the hospital?” ask Zahra.
“Iya.”
“So which guy is your sister?”
“Iya. Which side is the same as me?” Kenan raised his eyebrows.
“With your sister,” Zahra pelt her tongue towards Kenan.
“But he's sealed. You have no chance at him. Mending same me who is still avaliable.”
“Males.”
“Masa? Later I ruqiyah you deh let jin males who tacked on you go.”
Zahra glared at Kenan, but the young man only chuckled. Kenan promised to thank Nara after coming home. Thanks to his cravings, he was able to meet his girlfriend.
“Take a wait for an order, anterin I bought a well yuk,” invite Kenan.
“Wani piro?”
“What do you ask for? Just say, the moon, the star, the same asteroid I would bring to you. But I can't bring you the sun, because if I take it, worry that the light that illuminates you disappears.”
“Ish..”
Zahra's face reddened, not because of hearing Kenan's chattering but because some people who were also waiting for orders immediately looked at her. He got off the bike and walked towards the tent selling pure milk. Kenan rushed to catch up with him.
“Mang well one taste of melon, another original yes, wrapped. You want to ngga?”
“Yang brown mang, one, drink here.”
“Original one more, drink here.”
Kenan sat himself in the long chair made of wood available there. Zahra sat there. Soon their order was ready. Zahra held the glass with both hands, trying to warm her cold palms. Kenan just looked at what Zahra was doing full of cravings. If only he had been that glass.
“You're still a long time intern at the hospital?”
“More or less three months.”
“Abis internship why?”
“Ya make a report keep preparing for the final task.”
“You take S1 what is D3?”
“D3. Why the hell is nanya mulu? Wealthy journalists aja.”
“Yes I want to know more about my future wife.”
“Ngarep.”
“Ngga. Don't you have a rich handsome husband?”
“Free handsome if not loyal.”
“Eh don't ask about that. The proof is to have it linked to you a million times. I keep chasing you, you and you.”
“Iya just keep him faithful. Turn already dapet who guarantees if stay faithful.”
Zahra sipped her pure milk which had been reduced in heat. Kenan looked at the fixed zahra. Zahra's eyes when talking about loyalty seem to radiate anger. The young man wondered if his girlfriend had ever been betrayed by his girlfriend.
“Drink the milk, later the cold hunt.”
Kenan's daydream stopped as soon as he heard Zahra's voice. The young man immediately sipped his pure milk. After finishing his drink, Kenan paid for everything and then returned to the cart martabak kang Ewok while carrying a package of pure milk ordered by the brother.
Arriving there it turns out their martabak order is ready. Kenan returned to pay for their order. Although Zahra refused, the young man insisted and eventually Zahra relented. If he refused, Kenan would do something to embarrass him. Before returning home, Kenan first drove Zahra to the front of his house.
“Don't forget tomorrow I pick up at 10.”
“Iya, bauble.”
“Bawel but ngangenin right?”
“As of you. As long as you are happy.”
“Hahaha. I go home first yes. Bye injecting babe.”
Kenan throws a fly kiss at Zahra then runs his two-wheeler. For a moment Zahra was still glued in place, looking at Kenan's motorbike which was getting away. The voice of the younger brother finally resuscitated Zahra. The girl immediately put the motorcycle into the house.
☘️☘️☘️
At exactly ten in the morning, Kenan had arrived at the Zahra residence. Zahra's younger brother, Silva, was stunned to look at the handsome man standing at the door. The 13-year-old girl immediately called her sister.
Zahra was stunned to see Kenan in a white T-shirt lined with navy blue long-handed shirts, which rolled up to the elbow. I don't know why the young man looks so handsome. So too can Kenan who can't take his eyes off Zahra.
“Ehem!!”
Deheman violently Silva, woke the couple from the daydream. Zahra draped her shawl bag over her shoulder and then took her helmet. Before leaving, he rubbed the top of his sister's head.
“Don't forget the souvenirs yes brother!”
Just now Zahra was going to take out his bike, but Kenan forbade it. He just wants to walk in one vehicle. After arguing for a while, Zahra finally relented. The girl put on her helmet, then prepared to board.
“Where are you? I want a parting.”
“Mama of work.”
“Ooh.”
Zahra held onto Kenan's shoulder as a pedestal as she climbed behind the young man. Then the motor wheel turned. As the bike exited the alley and turned into a large road, Kenan increased the speed of the bike. He pulled out Zahra's hand which only held the tip of her jacket and wrapped it around her waist.
Zahra tried to pull his hand but Kenan held it back while increasing the speed of his bike. As a result Zahra did not release a hug on the young man's waist. A smile was imprinted on Kenan's face. He continued to drive his vehicle towards North Bandung.
Motor owned by Kenan turned into one of the new tourist rides in the Lembang area. This ride not only presents beautiful scenery and spots to take pictures. But it also provides some adrenaline-pumping games, such as flying fox, giant swing, suspension bridge and hammock that hangs high between two large trees.
To be honest Zahra was glad Kenan brought her here. From the moment it opened, he had wanted to visit this place, only time was not possible. Zahra is not the type of girl who does not know to have fun, she also often goes for a walk to get rid of. But never to a place far away, most just a walk to the mall, eat at the cafe or watch the cinema. It was only with his sister or his girlfriend.
Kenan was the first man to take her out. Even the handsome doctor who worked in the same place as him, also did not manage to take the girl for a walk. In addition to tenacious, Kenan seems to have a magnet that is difficult to resist. The stronger he resisted, the stronger the young man would pull towards him.
“You want to play flying fox not?” bargain Kenan.
“Mau dong.”
Zahra was struck when Kenan suddenly pulled his hand then headed towards the place of the flying fox. After paying for the ticket, both are ready to explore this tourist area by stripping through a wire rope. The distance they traveled was quite far as well, crossing a valley that was quite deep.
There was a cry from Zahra when the girl started skating. Kenan who first boarded the flying fox, waiting for the girl at the end there. Finished adrenaline by sliding against the wind, Kenan invites Zahra to try other rides that are no less heart pounding.
“Why not?” kenan asked after they tried all the games.
“Banget. Stress I rich lost.”
“When we come here again, yes.”
“Hmm.”
“Where do you like your boyfriend?"
“I don't have a girlfriend.”
“Former girlfriend means.”
“Ngga has also.”
“Gebetan deh or guy who is again pedekate with you.”
“Ngga no.”
“Hmm.”
YES. That's how Kenan's heart cries out once he finds out he's the first person to ask Zahra out. His spirit was just getting more and more blazing to get the girl. Although Zahra accepted her date because of the threat, at least she was already one step closer (one step closer).
“You yourself often to rich places gini?”
“Lumayan. Same with the band."
“That duet with you is your girlfriend?”
“Not me, he is my cousin, his name is Anya aka nyi ronggeng aka robot gedeg hahaha.”
“Dih evil so much ngatain own cousin.”
“Lah reality. He can't be pinned down, there's something coming out of his mouth. It's so leaked, I suspect the scales his brain less seons hahaha.”
“Sama is rich you.”
“Kan scales my brain is lacking in you.”
“Sih.”
Kenan chuckled, but no doubt Zahra also laughed. But Zahra's laughter was lost when she saw a man playing with his two children. His face turned hard, then he quickly stood up.
“Come home.”
“Kok home? New also bentar.”
“Yes you are here, I want to go home.”
Zahra rushed away before the man she saw realized her whereabouts. Kenan soon followed, lined up Zahra's steps that seemed rushed. His eyes looked around, wondering what made his girlfriend suddenly change mood.
On the way home, there was no talk at all. Zahra's mind wanders into the bitter events she experienced 13 years ago. Although it has long passed and his age is still fairly young at that time, still the bitter memories are still attached to his memory. Memories that made him hate creatures that are kind of men.
With both hands on Kenan's shoulders, Zahra got off the two-wheeler upon arrival at the front of the house. Kenan opened his helmet and then saw Zahra who was still wearing her sour face.
“There's a problem?”
“Ngga.”
“If not why be bete gini?"
“Ngga nothing,” Zahra tone sounds sniffy.
“Ok, yes. Next we go for another walk yes.”
“Ngga promise.”
Without giving Kenan a chance to answer, Zahra immediately entered the house and closed the door. Kenan breathed a long breath, just now his relationship with Zahra melted a little but for what and who reason, the girl returned to early fashion. Kenan turns on his vehicle and drives away from the Zahra residence.
Meanwhile, Zahra was still standing with a rendering at the door. His little heart felt guilty for being so tight on Kenan, even though the young man had done nothing wrong. It's just that the appearance of the man he hated so much made his mood fall apart.
“Ra.”
Zahra nodded when she heard the voice of her mother. It wasn't four o'clock in the afternoon but her mother had already returned home. The girl approached her mother and kissed the back of her hand.
“Mama is home? Pain?”
“Ngga..emang not much order today, so mama can already go home.”
Answer the middle-aged woman named Nita. Zahra's biological mother worked in one of the shipping expedition service offices. He usually comes home at four in the afternoon, but not today.
“Ra..your papa calls, he said tomorrow you're the same Silva told home. Your papa's birthday.”
“Ngga mau.”
“Ra.”
“If Silva wants to go, please, but I don't want to!”
Nita only let out a long sigh, her husband's betrayal and rude attitude when the affair was exposed still left a deep trauma to Zahra. Even his eldest son hated his father. After the divorce, her ex-husband never gave a living to his two children. Nita has to fight alone to raise Zahra and Silva.
“Ra.. He's your papa anyway. Later when you get married, you still need it as a guardian.”
“Mama calm down, I'm not getting married. I'll keep mama company, help mama raise Silva.”
“Ra.. istighfar.do not talk like that.”
“For me, there are no faithful men in this world. They behave sweetly just to get our hearts. Once it can, it is left as soon as it gets a new one, which is more everything than us. Like papa to mama.”
Zahra immediately went into the room. I don't know what his mother's heart was made of. After being hurt and betrayed, he still asked his two children to remain kind and devoted to his father. Zahra always avoids when her mother talks about her father.
Nita was only able to look at the door of Zahra's closed room. His heart was troubled to hear the words of his eldest son earlier. He could breathe a sigh of relief because Silva was still willing to follow his advice, because the boy was still in the womb when the husband had an affair with his co-worker.
Unlike Zahra who already understood. I don't know in what way Nita has to recover her son's heart. Invited to the psychologist was reluctant, he could only rely on giving everything to the Almighty. In every prayer, the woman always asked Zahra to be met with a good soul mate. He can heal her trauma and make her happy.

“Kak Naraaaaa.
Kenan called his sister-in-law as soon as he got home. Kenzie and Nara are staying at Abi's house at Nina's request. Nara who was sitting relaxed in the middle room while watching her favorite series movies immediately turned her head as soon as she heard Kenan's voice.
A smile rose on the pregnant mother's face when she saw Kenan coming with a package in his hand. Kenan landed his butt next to Nara while handing her the package in his hand. The special aroma of pahao immediately hit his sense of smell as soon as Nara opened the package.
“Please ya Naaaan. you are my brother who was debebes.”
Nara pulled out a patero with chicken fill, then ate it right away. Papao that still feels warm it does not take long to get into his stomach. Kenan only gawked to see his sister-in-law spending two father-in-laws in a short time.
“Kak.. laper what is trance?”
“Two hahaha.”
“Kak... no weird cravings intention is that?”
“Ngidam weird how?”
“What cake is out of the box. Brother's feeling cravings food mulu.”
Nara silently pondered over Kenan's words. It is true, after a week declared pregnant, she did not crave the strange just often asked to buy food alone. Most just sleep for Kenzie to hug or want to make love before her husband works. The rest is normal.
“How if we make a deal just aja kak.”
“What deal?”
“I would like to buy what you ask for at any time, anytime and anywhere. As long as brother wants to help me so I can get Zahra again.”
“Emang him why? Not that time you can take him for a walk?”
“Well that's it sister. Since then he has been rich avoiding me. Though I don't know what my faults and sins are.”
“Keep I have to help how?”
“Nah sister said that again cravings. I want to see my selfie with Zahra. Or want to see me sing a duet with him or something that has to do with him.”
“Emang she will believe?”
“The pregnant mother is if she likes weird. Yes, he must have believed, brother. Many cravings strangely.”
“Oh yes. In the past when cravings Dila, mama never craved eating batagor but the sell must be bald head,” Nara giggled amusedly.
“There are examples. Please, brother, help me.”
“He deh. I'll talk to Ken first. He sometimes has strange ideas bin nyeleneh.”
“Bright. Tilimikici my dear sister-in-law.”
Kenan was just about to hug Nara, but a jewel landed in his ear before the young man could touch Nara's body. Kenan just floated his trademark grin and then fled to his room as soon as he saw the owner of the sister-in-law already standing nearby. Kenzie landed his ass next to his wife.
“Si stove mledug said what was it?”
“That, mas.he asked for help me crave the weird but ngibatin Zahra, the little sister. Poor mas, rich he stuck deh.”
“Ck. how not to knock, the Zahra must have been mumbling with his obscure chatter."
“EH I DENGER YES, BANG!!” yelled Kenan who was still standing on the stairs.
“BODO SUPREMELY!!” reply Kenzie no less tight until Nara had to cover both ears.
“Ish you guys, already rich in the forest just yelling,” protest Nara.
“KAK NARA DON'T FORGET TO HELP ME. IF SUCCESSFUL I WILL SERVE AS A GOOD SISTER-IN-LAW FOR SISTER.”
“SELFSERVICE. DON'T DISTURB BINI I.”
“WHISPER!!”
Kenzie and Kenan immediately silenced as soon as they heard the voice of the mother with a power of 1000 amperes. The mledug stove rushed up to the second floor and entered his room. Kenzie took the father and fed his wife. Nara only giggled amusedly, as soon as the lioness roared, the polar dragon and the mledug stove instantly silenced a thousand languages.
