CHAPTER 14

Late in the afternoon it appeared Nania and Winda were busy kosuk – kusuk on the porch of Lusy's house, reading the newspaper. The headlines they read about criminal news.

‘After a few months, the police are often faced with – mysterious cases, such as the disappearance of a Hospital nurse who until now has not known traces, he said, a month ago a night worker was reported missing without a trace. If related to the events of the previous year –, about the disappearance of married couples, until now still a big mystery to the police, there seems to be a lot of similarities in terms of the mode of kidnapping. Victims are always missing without a trace.dst'

“Hiyy...Seram deh, like there is a ghost kidnapper only in this city.” comments Nania shudder.

“Hearts – hearts who knows tomorrow it's our turn..” Winda scares – nakuti when in his heart he was afraid himself.

“Huss Winda ah! Don't say that ah!” tukas Nania's.

“Hayooo!! Read more what?!!” Lusy arrived – arrived out of the house shocked Nania and Winda. “Gue is ready, let's go, later again...The concert's at 7, right?? Concert tickets for me and Winda have been obtained, right?”

“Ya come! Who also dandy??” grumbling Winda while putting the newspaper he read with Nania to the small table on the porch of Lusy's house. “Nih tickets, save gih!”

“Eh right we didn't invite Abi?? Ntar she's angry you know?” asked Lusy while keeping his concert tickets in the wallet, at that time the three of them got into Winda's car. “Kan usually we always four where – where..”.

“Ah let me, I am lazy to invite Abi, later he acted macem – macem again at the concert..” said Nania. “Lo – you know Abi does not like Fairro?”

Winda and Lusy giggle because they know why Abi does not like Fairro.

“Yes is already that! Let’s gooo!” lusy said in a light style, as if there was no problem.

The concert hall is already crowded with – young children in diverse styles. Mostly women!! Nania, Winda and Lusy were not surprised by that. People like Fairro? How could it be taken by those women!! Nania even saw Mbak Maya and her gang amidst the crowd of – young children.

“Hey, look! There's Maya!! He also wants to watch Fairro!” nania Exclamation.

“Clearly! How could that little aunt miss Fairro!” lusy said with a quip.

Winda and Nania giggle to hear Lusy call ‘Tante Centil’ for Mbak Maya. Abi's brother is indeed rada – rada flirtatious and centile person. Not too many people like the 22-year-old student.

At half-time at 8pm, after all the spectators had entered the concert hall, the Fairro band began to play the intro of the first song. Nania was amazed to look at Fairro who was standing in the middle of the stage, wrapped in black – black clothes that looked very trendy, the gondrong looked more charming than what Nania usually saw before. Fairro's long hair was tied around the back, so that there – here looks falling down on his special face, so exotic in the middle of the spotlight stage lights.

Eyes of ash – ashes Fairro like shining – rays like a flame that is blazing every time he swipes his violin. Fairro's violin sometimes sounds so romantic when he plays a melodic – note, but sometimes it can also sound so energetic as to swerve – a quick roaring contortion, as if he is playing his violin with full emotion. Nania did not know, arrived – just arrived she was aiming to hear the Fairro violin game. He recalled the story of his art teacher at school about a classical violinist, Nicolo Paganini, who was famous as a romantic violinist but also a mystical aura. Mystical because of the greatness of his violin game was rumored to come from the results of his alliance with the devil. Fairro's violin sound was heavily inspired by Nicolo Paganini's violin but Fairro's band of herders made the violin play a touch of Rock music...Or maybe Heavy Metal?... Aahs...Nania doesn't know! Fairro dominates his music with his own violin incision...I don't know the name of Fairro music...Classic Rock? What was clear was that the music sounded so mystical, making Nania's hair stand on end. It's beautiful, but it's also so scary. Perhaps Fairro could be said to be like a Nicolo Paganini in the rock version.

Nania looked at Winda and Lusy, as well as the entire audience...They're...They are like being bewitched, screeched – meek hysterically, echoed calling – call the name Fairro, adored – muja. Nania is right – is right to take aim at her making. Fairro, the young man seemed to have magical powers at every friction of his violin, at the look of his ash eyes – ashes. Fairro seemed to have so successfully seized the entire attention of the audience back then.

Nania almost fainted when she heard Fairro talking on the microphone as she was about to move on to the next song.

“The following song, titled Nania, is the same as the name of the girl I love so much...This song is something I created for him...Although I do not know if he is watching this concert or not right now.”.

The word – the word is clear - it has obviously broken many women heartedly heard it. Lusy nudged Nania so hard that it made Nania almost fall.

“Crazy!! Lucky true lo!!” lusy was half envious of Nania.

“If I could see the face of Mbak Maya now..” said Winda giggled, because he knew Abi's brother was crazy – crazy with Fairro.

“Surely hot the mbak one it...” said Lusy chimed. “Yes, Nan??”

Nania did not reply, the curly-haired girl could only stare at the stage, apparently not expecting Fairro to mention her name and express his feelings in front of the crowd. There was a rumbling taste in his chest at that moment, a – hammering feeling hit his body as if he was about to push the body to immediately run onto the stage and hug Fairro. But with all his might held back that feeling in the deep – in the bottom of his heart. Ah, Fairro, Fairro...Is this really – really? Inner Nania.

When the concert was over and the audience began to gradually empty the concert hall, Lusy and Winda excitedly dragged Nania to meet Fairro backstage.

“Ah, for what the hell??” reject Nania. “We'll just go home! He'll be ge-er anyway.”

“Ge-er what the hell? Come, moron! Why the hell did you waste that saucy??” lusy said as he glared at Nania. “If you don't want to, I'm always ready to grab Fairro!”

Winda giggled at hearing it.

“Indeed food, pack struck by everything??” nania said pouting.

When the three of them finally managed to get into the Fairro dressing room backstage, the three best friends were forced to be disappointed because they knew their intention to meet Fairro was first by Maya Ma'am. Abi's brother looked spoiled in Fairro's body as if he wanted to have Fairro and did not care if Fairro did not like his behavior. Nania bit her lips watching that.

“Tuh right...I told you, free..” said Nania slowly. “Yuk, let's just go...We'll interrupt..”.

“Yes for Nan...You're not senile, are you? Did you forget whose name Fairro was on the stage?? Your name, right?! So do not mind Mbak Maya deeh..” hiss Winda reminded Nania.

Nania almost turned away when Fairro realized the presence of the 3 SMU girls in her dressing room.

“Nania??” Fairro looked surprised to see the presence of Nania and her 2 best friends. The ash-eyed gondrong – ashes was moving to meet Nania. But Maya immediately held him back.

“Let them...Don't mind, Fairro...They most want to ask for your signature or photo – photos, so let them wait...” said Mbak Maya while looking at the trio Nania – Winda – Lusy with a view as if the three SMU girls were intruding flies.

Fairro frowned looking at Ma'am Maya, the gondrong released Mbak Maya's embrace from her body and rushed over to Nania.

“Fairro, why the hell lo?” Maya said annoyed, but Fairro didn't care.

“Nania?” the gondrong was unable to hide his joyous look because of Nania's presence.

“Konser lo very good, Fairro. Thanks song...The name is Nania...I love it so much..” said Nania stiff, the cute girl with curly hair was groggy faced with Fairro under the sharp gaze of Mbak Maya.

“Lo likes the song? Really? It was special for lo..” The gray eyes of – ashes of Fairro were so brilliantly staring at Nania's face.

“Lo...Lo flatters me too much, Fairro..” said Nania with a dead red face.

Nania seemed to want to throw herself into the floor at that moment because she could not hold her heart beating so fast, hearing the word – Fairro said. Oh God, am I dreaming? Inner Nania.

While Winda and Lusy secretly – hide busy elbow - elbow full meaning.

Nania accidentally looked at Maya. Highlight the eyes of brother Abi looked so cold returning his gaze, the look of the eyes pierced – Nania's feelings, making the SMU girl feel bad.

“Eh yes...Anu's...Okay, just succeed for you, Fairro...But...Uh...I think we should go home...You are very late at night..” said Nania while pura – pura looking into her watch to eliminate her nervousness. He could not stand the lingering – long standing in front of Fairro under the view of such unfriendly Mother Maya.

“Oh...Okey...Mm...Want me to drop off?” asked Fairro, from his tone the gondrong seemed disappointed to hear Nania so quickly decided to go home.

“Eh...Thanksm...But no, because we...Ouch!” Nania successfully tilted forward because Winda elbowed her hard – hard. Nania nodded at Vinda. He saw his best friend glaring at him, as if Winda wanted to say, ‘don't be stupid lo, Nan...It's a good chance..’

“Oh Yes Nan...Sorry, I think you have to go home with Fairro deh, because I have to hunt – hurry home now, I forgot, my brother wants to borrow my car tonight too!” Winda arrived – suddenly said loudly, making Nania gawk at hearing him.

“What – what the hell lo? Where are you going to – nights like this??” ask Nania wonder. “Feelings of the time we left earlier she..”.

“This is sudden, Nan! Um...Her...He must go see grandma..” said Winda origin. “He just called me earlier..”.

“When? How can I not hear HP lo sound?”

“Tadi...Anyway earlier.”.

“Ah don't lie lo?” Nania doesn't believe it.

But Winda and Lusy impatiently immediately pushed Nania closer to Fairro.

“Fairro, please please take Nania home huh?” said Winda to Fairro.

“Ok.” said Fairro briefly, but Nania sure her eyes could not be wrong to see the reaction of Fairro's face, obviously – clearly the gondrong was trying hard to resist his smile watching the actions of Winda and Lusy. In her heart Nania grumbled to - 2 of her best friends who were trying to match her with Fairro that night.

Nania panted as Fairro looked at her with both of her – ash eyes that were so clear as the crystal. The curly haired girl replied looking at Fairro with a doubtful look – hesitate. The – ash eyes were as if waiting for him, not only waiting for his approval to come home together, but also his heart, his feelings, his love...Nania's blood seemed to whirr.

“Fairro!! Where are you going??...Fairro!!” mother Maya's shriek rang out behind them, as they were about to exit the dressing room with Fairro.

Nania, Winda and Lusy simultaneously looked at Fairro, thinking that the gondrong would turn to Maya. But Fairro like not hearing at all screeches Mbak Maya, there is no reaction what – what on Fairro's face. The gondrong actually even grabbed Nania's hand and held her tightly –, and invited her to quickly accelerate out of the dressing room with Winda and Lusy, too, leaving Maya's mother who mendelik see their departure.

While Winda and Lusy came home with the Winda car. Nania boards a Fairro car hurtling in the darkness of the night, towards Nania's house.

“Fairro, really not what – what?” nania asked Fairro after a while the two were silent.

“Yes is not what – is..”.

“I mean...Ma'am Maya...Is he not angry if I go home ama lo?” ask Nania again, with a heart tone – hearts.

Fairro raised both his eyebrows hearing that.

“Mbak Maya??” Fairro asked back, it seemed like the gondrong was astonished by Nania's question.

“Yah's...He's kan..”

“He what? Lo meaning...Dia...” Fairro arrived – arrived laughing as if just realized where the direction of Nania's conversation.

“Kok laughs anyway?”

“Mbak Maya is not my girlfriend.”.

“But he seems to like lo..”.

“She overextends her own will without thinking about the feelings of others.” Fairro spoke while laughing again, but his laughter sounded bland.

“Mbak Maya must really like lo, up to – until she so behave so with lo...” said Nania while squeezing – squeeze her handkerchief, still remembered by him the cold gaze of Maya's mother to him earlier. That look was the jealous look of a girl as the young man she liked so much was so considerate of the other girl before her eyes. It must have been painful. Nania arrived – suddenly felt sorry for Mbak Maya, and felt awry.

“But I just like ama lo..” said Fairro makes Nania feeling more uncertain.

– Stars stars in the sky so brilliantly watched the Fairro car that stopped in front of the fence of Nania's house. Fairro got out of the car when Nania got off.

“Thanks yes Fairro..” says Nania. “Gue so ngerepotin elo nih..”

“It’s Ok...” says Fairro.

Nania raised her face looking at Fairro. The deg! Nania's heart was beating so fast as her eyes clashed with the – ash eyes of Fairro's –, the ash eyes of ash were also looking at her, so soft, making Nania gasp at those eyes. To...Why would Fairro look at him like that?

Nania was still amazed as Fairro's hand slowly stroked her cheek. The night breeze toyed with Fairro's long hair as the –-grey-eyed youth lowered his head kissing Nania's forehead. Oh my God, if this is a dream, don't wake me. Inner Nania shivered. 

The girl could only be glued to her place looking at Fairro who got into his car and darted out into the street with the car in the dark of night.

Oh my God, Nania nodded again, groped her forehead slowly, it was so cold that night but somehow there was such a warm feeling enveloping her heart. Ma'am Maya forgive me...I also like Fairro...
