BROMOCORAS
Naphisa

In the morning another day. Many boisterous markets become their own atmosphere every morning in this city. The sound of bargaining between buyers and sellers seems to be a chant that has no strings attached at almost every turn of the clock.

Among the boisterous crowd, Hexa was aghast from her seat, sipping her iced tea once after it passed with quick steps. The thing that makes it so because he saw a girl who was walking alone among the people who were crowded in the market.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat... Ning Afis Gus Aji's sister huh?" Sapa Hexa sounded friendly as she was not far from the girl she was with, Nafisa.

Nafisa seemed to be frowning, "Sampeyan... Sampeyan is not the santri of Pondok Hidayah?" Ask later.

"really. Right. Exactly and not wrong." Hexa said as she curled her lips kindly.

Nafisa just nodded her head.

"On your own, Ning?" Hexa asked after a moment of frown.

"Yes, Kang." Sahut Nafisa brief.

"Oh... Can I go with you?" Hexa offered herself.

"Sorry, Kang. Don't you need to. Thank you." Thank you." Nafisa's voice this time she gave a little smile to Hexa.

"Don't refuse, Ning. Not good." Hexa sounded pushy this time.

"Ning has not been here long. I'm afraid I'll get rough." Imbuh Hexa, Nafisa just returned smiling.

"Oh, yes, and again maintaining the security of pesantren family is also a must, right?" And Hexa again.

Nafisa did not say, she just slightly threw a smile while shaking her head lightly after she continued her way through the market.

Hexa looked excited this time. At least, he felt his offer was not rejected Nafisa.

"It's best to go back to the boarding school, Kang. Is there no research?" Ask Nafisa then as she continues walking.

"It's Tuesday, Ning. Njai's off." Sahut Hexa's.

"Oh..." That was Nafisa's response.

"Ning Afis want to buy what is this?" Asked Hexa looking for the ingredients this time.

"Shop vegetables for cooking, Kang." Nafisa.

"Oh, vegetables yes... Emmm, I happen to know a place that sells fresh vegetables, Ning. I'm taking you there how, Ning?" Fresh Hexa again.

"It's not necessary, Kang. I can find it myself." Sahut Hexa later.

"All right then." Hexa seemed confused to go back to looking for the next chat material.

"Let me bring you, Ning. I happen to have a pedicab driver here too." Say Hexa again.

"It's not necessary, Kang. Let me bring it myself." Sahut Nafisa again then he began to enter the market still followed by Hexa behind him.

Hexa again seemed confused to really be able to chat with Nafisa this time.

Nafisa now appears to stop at one of the vegetable stalls in the market. A middle-aged mother seemed to frown and was a little surprised upon seeing Nafisa.

"Mak Nafisa huh?" Ask the mother then.

"Yes, Mom. Still remember?" Ask Nafisa back.

"Oh, long time no see. Till pangling mom, Mommy." Said the mother then stood up to greet Nafisa.

"How are you, Mom?" Tanya Nafisa later.

"Alhamdulillah, Mother. It's still like this. Ma'am Nafisa herself how is she? What's back in the pesantren?" Ask the mother later.

"Yes, Mom. Now help me out here." Nafisa.

"Yes, Mother. What I hear now pesantren added the team after being held by his son Kyai Salim. Thank God that Ma'am Nafisa helped here." Mother then took.

Hexa who heard the conversation Nafisa and the vegetable seller's mother appeared to swallow. He did not expect that Nafisa was very familiar in this market. He did not know that Nafisa used to live in this pesantren.

"What's this shopping going to do, Mommy?" Ask the mother later.

Nafisa seemed to give a piece of paper to the mother.

"That's it, Mom. Like you used to, Mom?" Tanya Nafisa later.

"Yes, Mother. Lt could. But this Wawan is delivering vegetables. Let it be delivered directly to the boarding school just like before, Ma'am." Say that mother again.

"Well then, Mom. Then excuse me, ma'am." Say Nafisa then.

"Yes, Mother. I nitip greetings to Mas Kyai, Ma'am." Said the mother afterwards.

"Good, Mom. I'll tell you later." After that Nafisa passed from the mother's stall.

Hexa was still following Nafisa, she now looked awkward. Shame and misbehavior are so obvious. Nafisa realized that, but she did not want to reprimand him.

"Why didn't you tell me you were here, Ning?" Hexa grumbling.

Nafisa smiled, "Sampeyan didn't ask, did you, Kang?"

"Because I can't get lost. Better get back, Kang. Or if there are still people who want to buy, just buy first." Say Nafisa then.

"Oh, no, Ning. As a man I would not let a pesantren family in the market alone. I have to ensure the safety of the boat. No good woman as pretty as a sampeyan in the market alone. A lot of ignorant men, Ning." Speak Hexa then.

Nafisa did not reply, she only then smiled and continued her way out of the market.

"Have, Ning? No one wants to buy anymore?" Ask Hexa then.

"Nothing, Kang. Just takeyan if there is still something that wants to be bought monggo bought first." Nafisa.

"Nothing, Ning." The Hexa also followed.

"Emmm, is this coming straight home or?"

"Go home, Kang." Sahut Nafisa fast.

"Emmm, so yes." The Hexa sahut after that.

"It's okay am I going home?" Ask Hexa then.

Nafisa did not say, she just smiled pias and continued her path.

Silent silence was noticed by two young men from inside a stall not far from where Hexa had stopped. They are Budi and Arya who have since noticed the movements of Hexa.

"Who's that girl with Hexa, Bang?" Budi asked Arya after Hexa's view was no longer visible to them.

"Come, Bud. I also just saw it this first time." Aryan Sahut.

"That's not Armel like you guys talk about so much?" Ask again.

"No. I also don't know where the boy came from with the girl. It could be his schoolmate." Sahut Arya later.

"If you look at it, it's like santriwati. What possible?" Be willing to stop his words.

"Emmm, I know your thoughts, Bud. I also think about you. It could be santri there." Arya again after that.

"But as I recall the girls' dormitory is not ready to operate, Bang. Likely after..." Again, stop his words. Arya smiled at that.

"After the boy married your idol girl, right?" Arya guessed this time.

"Already, Bang. Don't tease me with that anymore." Sahut Budi's.

"Sorry, Bud. Hmmm, but that girl is pretty too." Praise Arya to Nafisa.

"Yes, Bang. Clever too, the Hexa approached the girl." Imbuh Budi's.

"Yes, hopefully this time it doesn't happen again. Like when he was chasing Armel." Arya said later.

Budi just nodded affirming Arya's words this time.

Meanwhile, where Ajimukti is at the moment, when he was sitting relaxing with Sobri on the terrace ndalem, a message entered on his phone. Once there was a notification from his phone, he immediately grabbed the phone and opened it.

"There's a message from Kang Godril, Kang." Say Ajimukti to Sobri while looking at the screen on his phone.

"What, Gus?" Ask Sobri curious.

"Godril's brother seems to be sending a photo." Ajimukti immediately opened the photo.

For a moment he looked surprised. Sobri frowned looking at that Ajimukti expression.

"What's up, Gus?" Ask later.

Ajimukti did not immediately reply, he only then showed the photo to Sobri. Seeing the photo, Sobri was no less surprised.

"It right?" Whispers watered.

"How come this is, Gus?" Ask Sobri later.

Ajimukti raises his shoulders, "Okay, Kang. I don't understand either."

"Then what, Gus? Do we need to ask this." Ask Sobri later.

"It's best not to, Kang. We don't know what the truth is. Fear our question isn't right." Sahut Ajimukti later.

Sobri only then nodded.

Shortly after, Nyai Kartika appears out of ndalem. Seeing the tense expression on Ajimukti's face as well as Sobri made Nyai Kartika was a little astonished.

"What's up, Le?" Ask Nyai Kartika while sitting next to Ajimukti.

"It's nothing, Mom." Sahut Ajimukti, while Sobri only bowed to hide his face.

Nyai Kartika did not continue the question. He just then switched the conversation.

"Your sister's not back yet, Le?" Ask later.

"It doesn't seem like it yet, Mom. It hasn't been seen since." Ajimukti.

"Hmmm, don't you stop by Mr. Lek your Prastowo's house, Le?" Ask Nyai Kartika later.

"Come on, Mom." Ajimukti.

"What do I need to ask the same Dik Ajeng, Nyai Ma'am." Sobri's proposal later.

"It's not necessary, Le. If you go there, you let it go. Wong yes if the same Ajeng his son Kang Pras is already kayak dulur wedok kok." Nyai Kartika later said.

"Yes, Mom. Indeed since here, Nafisa and Ajeng are very close." Imbuh Ajimukti later.

"Oh, yes, Le. By the way, there's something Sibu wants to tell you." Nyai Kartika later said.

"What's that about, Mom?" Ask Ajimukti a little astonishment.

"On your sister, Nafisa, Le. Since leaving Sibu saw him a little strange. I don't know why Sibu doesn't know either. Sibu asked him not to be honest. Sibu was also confused and curious." Nyai Kartika later said.

Ajimukti sighed a little, "There are actually things that Sibu might not know about Nafisa, Mom." Say Ajimukti later.

Nyai Kartika turned to Ajimukti, her forehead shriveling at that moment, "What is that, Le? Is there anyone you're Iku delikno from Sibu?" Ask later.

"No, Ma. It's about his closeness to Manan, ma'am. Sibu must not know that yet?" Say Ajimukti later.

"Right? Manan's son Pak Lek mu Anggoro, Le?" Ask Nyai Kartika make sure.

"Yes, Mom. Who else is it. In this boarding school, Manan's name is just him." Sahut Ajimukti while chuckling.

"Weeee... Since then, Le. Sibu just found out this." Sahut Nyai Kartika saw sumringah hear that.

"Actually their closeness has been a long time, ma'am. Already since Nafisa here nyantri same father first." Ajimukti.

"What, jebule ngono tho? Just deserve. Whoa, Le. Mr. Lek mu Sarjito would love this if he knew Nafisa was close to his son Pak Lek mu Anggoro. Also, Le. Mr. Lek mu Sarjito knows very well how lunge Pak Lek mu Anggoro accompanied your father tripe alas in this pesantren first." Nyai Kartika later said.

"Emmm, but it's best not to get to Lek Sarjito, ma'am." Ajimukti.

"Well, why, Le? This is good news." Nyai Kartika also followed.

"To appreciate Manan, Mom. However, we do not know for sure what their closeness is like at this time. I'm afraid I'm just stepping on him." Say Ajimukti later.

Nyai Kartika nodded in understanding, "You're right, Le. Yes Sibu only hope if it is true and may it be true, Sibu hopes all is made easy by God, Le." Nyai Kartika Sahut later.

Ajimukti nodded assuringly, as did Sobri who heard the conversation.

Seriate...
