ANTIQUE NURSE
Season 2: Engagement

“Sorry I'm late.”

Abi held back his words when someone came. Barra's heart immediately beat fast. Slowly the man turned his head towards the sound. Barra approached Kenzie and whispered to him.

“Who is it?”

“Hulu,” replied Kenzie casually.

“WHAT??!!”

Darmawan who had just arrived, was shocked by Barra's cry. Again, the man received a gift from his father. This time it landed on his head. Kenzie just put on a smile just looking at it.

“Welcome, Mr. Darmawan. The show is just about to start,” welcome Abi.

Abi shook his colleague's hand, followed by another. Sandi is also surprised to see the arrival of his boss. Sandi approached Darmawan and shook his superior's hand. In order to avoid any more interference, Abi immediately opened the event.

“Before I say thank you to all who are ready to attend today. Today's event is the engagement of my youngest child, Kenan Mahendra Wisdom with Zahra Aulia, the daughter of mother Nita Almira.”

There was disappointment in Sandi's heart, when Abi only mentioned the name of his ex-wife. Though he hopes his iron candidate mentions his name as well. At least he can come forward and side by side with Nita. Looking at the appearance today, it really made the man pangling. He still does not believe, the woman who is standing with his daughter is the ex-wife who used to be cheated and divorced by him.

Kenan and Zahra were already standing in front while facing each other. Before the ring embedding event, the two first expressed their hearts. Haikal, tasked with holding a velvet box containing an engagement ring, stands behind Kenan.

“Za.. I know our relationship is a new corn, but I've established myself to make you my life partner. I hope you will wait for me until I am ready to take you in front of the ruler. I love you, Zahra Aulia.”

“Nan.. Thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for watering my dry heart with your love, affection and care. I'll wait for you to come and settle our relationship. I love you, Kenan Mahendra.”

Haikal's feet advanced one step while thrusting the velvet box in his hand. Kenan took the ring from there and pinned it on Zahra's ring finger. Then Haikal approached Zahra and did the same. Zahra took the remaining ring and pinned it on Kenan's finger. Rumbling of an immediate applause was heard when the ring embedding event was completed.

“Awas Nan, not yet halal. Haven't got a stamp yet,” chirped Kenzie.

“Hooh.. keep lips virgin,” continued Ravin.

“Prohibited mupeng,” says Aric.

“Hold-hold.. don't take blong,” connect Fathan.

“Heleh.. can only be on. The self is also already on nyosor before dapet halal label,” exclaimed Barra who was immediately greeted with laughter. But everyone was immediately silent as soon as they saw Nina's horror gaze.

“For the wedding, we as parents leave it to the children only. It would be better if both of them had completed their studies. Does bu Nita not mind?” ask Abi.

“I don't mind, sir. I agree that they finish their studies first.”

“Alright then. This time it was just for tying. Zahra, Kenan has proposed to you as a wife. Keep the commitments you have made until the time comes for you to be together. So are you, Nan. You have promised to have a serious relationship with Zahra to the marriage stage. Papa hope you hold fast to that promise and take responsibility for your choices.”

“Iya, pa,” replied Kenan and Zahra together.

“Aalhamdulillah's. Thank you for coming and watching this show. To those present, we invite you to taste the dish.”

Nina moved from her place and invited guests to the backyard to enjoy the dish. Everyone followed Nina's steps. After taking the dish, they sat in groups according to their age. Wisdom generation men choose to enjoy a meal while chatting casually in a tree house. Their wives gathered in the lounge on the second floor. Abi and his friends gather in the backyard. While Sekar and his group choose to gather on the terrace.

Sandi is confused about where to join. None of those present greeted him let alone invited him to speak. Himself and Risma seemed to be considered invisible creatures. It's still a good thing Silva wants to talk to Dila and Sisil. Finally the couple chose to sit near the buffet table while watching around.

Risma seems annoyed to see Nina continue to introduce Nita to the people there. He should be in Nita's position. Similarly, Sandi who saw the envy of his ex-wife.

“Pak Darmawan, thank you for coming,” Nina said as soon as she was near the man. Don't forget he took Nita with him.

“Sama-sama, Miss Nina. I feel honored to have been invited to this family event.”

“Sayang..”.

Nina turned her head as soon as she heard Abi's voice calling out to her. The man waved at him. Seeing that, Nina immediately said goodbye to her guest.

“Sorry Mr. Darmawan, I stay first. Ms. Nita, please accompany Mr. Darmawan yes.”

“Eh bu..”

Nita had not been able to finish his sentence, his iron candidate was already moving away. Her eyes followed Nina's steps towards her husband. Now stay Darmawan and Nita. For a moment the atmosphere became silent, Nita was a little awkward being this close to Darmawan. Moreover, he had a glance at Sandi and Risma continued to look at him.

“Silva where is bu?” ask Darmawan.

“Silva...” Nita's eyes go around looking for her youngest child. Then his hand pointed towards the swimming pool.

“That Silva.”

“He with whom?”

“Dila and Sisil, her son mas Sandi with Risma.”

“If bu Nita herself why not remarry?”

“I focus on taking care of the kids.”

“Now the kids are big. Zahra will also be getting married soon. It doesn't seem wrong that Ms. Nita is starting to think about herself now.”

“Duh... Who wants to be with me? I'm not Nina's mom or Risma's pretty. I have nothing to be proud of.”

“Beauty of a woman is not judged by physical appearance, but by heart. Beautiful face is just a bonus.”

Nita just smiled when she heard it. Darmawan's simple attitude and his polite words inevitably made Nita start to like the man. Many years never close let alone related to a man, a little make his heart tremble when adjacent to Darmawan.

“Pak Darmawan himself why not married?”

“Please don't be too formal. Just call my name, Darma.”

“Eh. eung.. seems to be disrespectful. Ba.. how about ma.s Darma,” said Nita a little doubt.

“I like that. Then I will also call you, Nita only. If you don't mind of course.”

“Eh.. i. yes can.”

Nita somewhat stammered in response to Darmawan's words. The use of my pronouns being me, made the woman quite surprised. Especially when the man called his name directly without the frills of the mother in front of him, making Nita's feelings more uncertain.

“Same as you. I also initially focused on children only, after my wife died. But after Fikri got married and soon also Mentari followed, it seems like I will consider Mentari's proposal to get married.”

“Hopefully mr uh. mas Darma can get a good companion.”

“Aamin.. but it looks like I've found it.”

There was a swish on Nita's chest when she saw Darmawan's warm smile. When he said he had found a new escort, the man looked at him. For a moment Nita thought about whether it was her. But he immediately dismissed that thought. It's impossible for a man like Darmawan to be attracted to her.

The casual conversation of Nita and Darmawan continues. Nina silently watched the interaction of the two. The woman smiled at the closeness of Nita and Darmawan that developed quite quickly. On the other hand, Sandi also paid attention to the movements of his ex-wife. There was a sense of jealousy tucked inside his chest when he saw Nita smiling at Darmawan.

Encouraged by jealousy, Sandi got up and approached Darmawan. Risma stood up and followed her husband. Sandi's arm was pierced, but her husband did not turn to her, just looking straight ahead.

“Iya, it was Nina who introduced me.”

“Oh yes, sir. For the family gathering event later this month, the concept has been completed,” sela Risma. The woman seemed to want to show her existence in front of Nita.

“Talk about it in the office only.”

Risma just smiled blandly hearing it. Nita turned her face the other way, in her heart she was happy to see Darmawan make her former husband's usurper die fleas. Unlike Sandi who keeps paying attention to Nita.

Dddrrttt

Dddrrrtts

Darmawan's phone vibrates. Seeing that the name of the caller was Mentari, the man asked permission to answer the call, while moving a little away. Nita, who did not want to be close to Sandi and Risma, chose to go to the buffet table. While she was choosing a snack, Sandi approached her.

“If you used to dress up like this. I won't turn to Risma.”

“Really? Do you know that to look beautiful costs money? Did you ever give me money to take care of myself? Never mind giving for body care, I ask for more shopping money you never give.”

Checkmate, maybe that's the right word to describe how the current situation Sandi. The man could not avoid it because it was all true. He only cleared his throat to drive away the annoyance that ran his heart.

“Are you teasing Mr Darma?” accuse Sandi.

The movement of Nita's hand that was about to take a snack stopped upon hearing the words of her ex-husband. He turned his head towards Sandi with a fiery look on his eyes.

“What do you mean? Anyway I flirted with Mr. Darma or not, it's not really a matter of any business at all. We have no relationship anymore. I'm free to be with whoever I want.”

“Cih.. You think Mr Darma is interested in you? Even if Miss Nina has dressed you, but still your degree is not worth it,” exclaimed Risma who suddenly joined.

“My degrees may be below you. But at least I am not a woman who is happy above the suffering of others. I've never taken anyone's husband, like you.”

After saying enough words to make Risma dongkol, Nita immediately left the two men. Initially Risma wanted to catch up with Nita and grab the woman's hair, but was stopped by her intention after seeing Abi's sharp gaze on her.

Meanwhile, Darmawan who had just finished receiving a call from Mentari, immediately followed Nita who was seen in a hurry to leave the backyard. After looking here and there, the man found Nita sitting alone in the dining room. Darmawan approached then pulled a chair near the woman.

“What's the problem?”

“Ti.. no mas.”

“What Password and Risma bother you?”

Nita's head shook his head, but Darmawan was sure that the woman beside him was lying. The man breathed for a moment. He saw Nita who looked down more. Out of nowhere, Darmawan grabs Nita's hand, making the woman raise her head.

“Month was the phone. He's taking Petra out to dinner. Would you like to accompany me?”

Nita could only be stunned to hear Darmawan's invitation. For a moment he thought if there was anything wrong with his hearing.

“How's Nita? Do you want?”

“Ehm.. eung. to. why sa... me?”

“Do not know. I just want to take you. Can't it?”

“Bo. Ta.. but a. is mas not ashamed to invite me?”

“What am I ashamed of? You are a good woman, beautiful, even I feel flattered if you want to accompany me.”

Nita lowered her head, it felt so embarrassed to meet Darmawan. Although the age of the man nearby has reached the head of five, but the look of good looks is still visible on his face.

“Nita... how?”

“I.. asked Zahra first. If he allows, I'll go with mas.”

“Please.”

Nita moved from her seat and then returned to the backyard to meet Zahra who was chatting with Kenan and her friends. Darmawan also moved from his seat, then approached Sandi and Risma.

“Bu Risma, I hope you can be more polite to Ms. Nita. If you are being rude to him, it's the same that you do not appreciate Mr. Abi as well as Ms. Nina as a candidate for his iron. I say this for the good of Risma's own mother. I remind you, don't bother Nita again.”

Without waiting for Risma's answer, Darmawan soon passed leaving the couple. Risma looks arrogant, while Sandi is getting burned jealous. The man chose to leave the backyard. He accidentally grabbed someone.

“Ma.. sorry,” said Sandi.

“Tidaakhh apaahh-apaahh.”

Sandi was flabbergasted hearing such a familiar voice in her ears. He was shocked when he saw that Syakira was the one he had hit earlier. Sandi's face that looked tangled, turned cheerful when meeting with Syakira.

“Bu Syakira..what are you doing here?”

“Iahh diundhaangh buuhh Ninaahh.”

“Oh yes? Bu Syakira knows Nina's mother?”

“Syuamiihh I amahh shahabaatthh adiikhh pakkhh Abiih.”

“Ooh souhhh.”

“Syaki.. Gurit where?”

The conversation of Syakira and Sandi was cut short by the arrival of Sekar. The only friend of Sekar who has not come is indeed Gurit. Sandi was surprised to see Sekar whose face was no less beautiful than Syakira. He kept looking at the wife of that Cakra.

“Diptaahh masyiihh in jalaannhh.”

“Pak Password right? Zahra's dad?” tegar Sekar who realized that since then Sandi kept looking at him.

“I.. Ja. Introduce me, Sandi.”

Sandi stretched out her hand that was replied by Sekar. Sandi's eyes could not be seen on Sekar with his hands continuing to hold the woman's hand. Suddenly, he felt his hand shake. Kenan who approached immediately disconnected the man's hand link.

“Mami.. called equal papi,” said Kenan.

“Ok, Nan.”

Together with Syakira, Sekar headed towards the backyard. Sandi's eyes continued to follow the direction of the two beautiful women's steps. But his gaze was interrupted when he heard Kenan's firmer deheman.

“Om.please take care of his eyes. Sorry, this is for your own safety. Papi doesn't like it when his wife is seen like that. Can be ripped off later same papi.”

Kenan threw a smile before leaving his future father-in-law. After Kenan left, Juna, Jojo, Kevin and Cakra passed him in succession. The man threw a smile at the four men but did not get the slightest glint. Shortly behind them, Agung appears with Dendi. Again the Password is considered invisible by them. The man could only endure the gerrymandering in his heart.
