ENDLESS HALLWAY
CHAPTER 93: MEETING NABILA

That morning at Raden Intan Airport, Branti, Bandar Lampung, there was a

the handsome Pernuda stood on the platform with his eyes swept around the airport. It seemed like the somewhat gondrong wave-haired handsome young man, was looking for someone.

He was, indeed, trying to find someone who arrived in Bandar Lampung from Jakarta this morning. The man he was looking for, there was no other girl whom his parents had arranged for him to marry.

Actually Cevin, the name of the handsome young man was very lazy to pick up a girl named Nabila who was not yet known what kind of person he was. And secondly, he was also lazy because he actually loved Balqis, his girlfriend who had been dating and even listened to for three years more than Nabila, who he did not know. Just because he did not want to disappoint his mother alone, so that Balqis finally wanted to come early in the morning to Raden Intan Airport, Branti, Bandar Lampung to pick up children from his friends, he said, during his mother and mother Nabila were still both sitting in the first advanced school.

From the loudspeaker, the operator heard telling the pickers with language

Indonesian and English, if the Garuda plane

jakarta-bandar Lampung flight will soon land.

Cevin took a deep breath...!!!

For some reason, suddenly his heart thumped a bit. He felt a tension he was feeling. His mind was not fixed either. A moment drifted, to Balqis, her lover.

Rosana was waiting for him on campus.

Oh, how will it be? If his mother still forced his will so that he would marry Nabila? What about Balqis? And he promised Balqis and Cindy, his mother Balqis, that he would mean it to Rosana. Of course they will be very disappointed, if he reneges on a promise.

The young man was still agitated. Should he just go home, then let Nabila confused himself looking for his home address? Or go to Jakarta where his family is? It feels heartless humanity, letting people who do not know the situation of Bandar Lampung alone find their home address. Nabila's mistakes will get in trouble.

Cevin's daydreams instantly froze, when his ears heard the sound of an approaching aircraft engine. From a distance of about a kilo meters, the plane landed. Then move slowly with the guidance of an instructor or parking attendant.

Then stop...!!!

Celvin's eyes without blinking noticed the Garuda plane that had just stopped. Shortly after, the plane door opened. From the plane, the passengers got off. But as much as that, nothing has been recognized by Cevin. All strangers to him.

Even until the last passenger got off, a woman with bumpy shoulders was a bit blond. Big nosed and face like a doll.

The young woman, about twenty-five years old, stepped forward with her eyes, around the airport. It was as if the young and beautiful woman was trying to find someone who. picked up or who she knew. But so far, he has not found anyone he knows is around the platform.

The young and beautiful woman stopped her steps. Take a deep breath, wiping away the sweat. The air in Bandar Lampung, unlike when he was in Jakarta. The air temperature is very hot here. So that the skin is yellow and smooth, feels stung by the sun rather hot.

"Huh..," the beautiful girl complained as she let out her long breath. Then stepped back onto the platform, picking up the items he had brought with him. Then the beautiful woman stepped off the platform, trying to find a taxi. When the young and beautiful woman had just come out of the airport.

Cevin approached the woman and greeted her kindly.

"When...?" ask Cevin.

"Oh yeah. What's your name...?"

Reply to the beautiful woman named Nabila.

"Cevin..."

Reply Cevin introduced himself.

"Cevin...?" repeated the beautiful woman with increasingly fixed eyes looking at Cevin's handsome face and his tiny mouth, slightly opened.

"I was sent by my parents to pick up a friend, the son of my papah and mama friend."

Cevin.

"What's her name...?" asked the beautiful young girl while looking at the face of the handsome young man standing in front of her.

"When..."

Answer Cevin.

"When...?" repeat the girl with a frown.

Her beautiful yet sharp eyes, still looking fixedly at the handsome face of the young man before her.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Cevin briefly.

"When who...?"

Ask the girl again.

"Nabila Fellia's...". Cevin.

"That's my name" replied Nabila.

"You...?".

Ask Cevin.

"Yes, I'm Nabila Fellia. Why are you looking for me?"

Tanya Nabila Fellia later. Her beautiful eyes with plump eyelashes, still looking fixed to Cevin's handsome face.

"Ah, what a coincidence. Like I said, I was told to pick you up."

Cevin repeats.

"Who's your mama's name...?"

Ask Nabila Fellia again want to make sure.

"Selly's."

Answer Cevin briefly.

"Tante Selly's..."

Nabila Fellia.

"Yes. My mom is called Mamah Selly or Aunt Selly..."

Reply Cevin.

"So you're the Cevin Aunt Selly told me about?"

Nabila Fellia.

"Yes," Cevin replied as he extended his hand forward with smiling lips. Nabila Fellia also welcomed the helping hand with smiling lips. Then the two shook hands. Their lips were both smiling.

"You're so pretty, you make me not know you.." - Praise Cevin.

"Ah, you're too complimentary, Cevin," replied Nabila Fellia blushing. His heart rippled, earning praise from a young man as handsome and as good as Cevin. Especially after she found out, the handsome man was her future husband. The man who had been betrothed by their two men to be her husband.

"But really, you're beautiful."

Cevin repeated his words of praise.

"Don't over-complicate. I'll fall in love..."

Reply Nabila Fellia smiled.

Cevin laughed, accompanied by the melodious laughter of Nabila.

Until that morning, it felt even more beautiful by the garnish of their laughter.

"You could have... Oh yeah, let me help you with your suitcase."

Cevin.

"Thank you."

Reply Nabila Fellia.

Cevin took over, carrying Nabila's suitcase. Invite the beautiful girl to her car which is not far from where Nabila is.

"Your car...?"

Ask Nabila.

"Not."

Answer Cevin.

"Who's car then...?" ask Nabila.

"My papahcar."

Reply Cevin.

"Ah. you..." Nabila continued with a smile.

"Please come in" Cevin asked as he opened the front door of his car. After inserting Nabila's luggage in the trunk.

"Thank you." Nabila also according to enter. After closing the front door of his car, Cevin stepped into the car door next to him. Then get in and sit behind the car. Not long after, the car drove away from the airport parking lot.

"Where are we...?" ask Cevin.

"Where do you think it's better to go." Nabila asked as she looked at Cevin's handsome face and sat at the side, driving the car.

"If my mother's orders, Mamah wants you to go home. How about...?" Cevin looked at Nabila as if asking for the opinion of the beautiful girl.

"It's up to you" replied Nabila, agreeing to Cevin's plan to take him straight to the man's house. "You drive the car, so you have the right to decide where we go."

Nabila again.

"Well, then..."

Answer Cevin.

Cevin continues to run his car, heading towards his home, to take the beautiful girl to meet her parents. Now the young man's heart became uncertain. He did not think at all, that the girl named Nabila Fellia was beautiful. Ah whereas all this time he has often refused his mother's advice to accept Nabila as his wife. Even during this time, she prides herself more on Balqis as the most beautiful girl. But after seeing Nabila, his heart became worried. His love for Balqis seemed to have worn off somewhat. But what about his responsibility? She had snatched away Balqis's madness, even the girl was pregnant.

"Cevin..."

Nabila's voice sounded.

Cevin flinched, conscious of his daydream. "Eh, yeah..." Answer Cevin.

"You look dreamy...?"

Ask Nabila.

"Ah, no."

Cevin's reply covered up the truth.

Nabila smiled. Her beautiful and sharp eyes, still looking fixedly at the handsome face beside her. In the girl's heart, she admits that Cevin is handsome. It is only fitting that his mother and father agree, if he becomes the companion of the young man. Cevin is handsome. But maybe the young man already had a lover. And that was certainly an obstacle for him, to be able to be Cevin's companion.

"What are you. daydreaming about, Vin?" nabila's eyes were still fixed on Cevin's handsome face. "You can say not daydream, but your face shows that you were daydreaming."

Nabila.

"I'm daydreaming you..."

Answer Cevin.

"I...?"

Reply Nabila was a little surprised.

"Yes." Yeah."

Answer Cevin.

"Why with me...?" Ask Nabila.

"You're beautiful, Nidia."

Answer Cevin.

"Ah, that's what you keep saying."

Said Nabila smiling.

"The truth is you're beautiful."

Reply Cevin.

"But prettier than your girlfriend, right?"

Say Nabila later.

"Where do you know I have a boyfriend?"

Ask Cevin.

"about... Because of guys your age, I thought I already had a boyfriend. Isn't that right, Cevin...?" lip Nabila they are, sweet. Her beautiful eyes, still looking fixedly at the handsome face of the young man beside her.

Cevin didn't say. He went back to silence.

"You're daydreaming again, Cevin...?!"

Say Nabila.

"Hm..." Cevin's voice answered Nabila's brief question.

"Why you...?"

Tanya Nabila wanted to know.

"It's okay."

Reply Cevin.

"You're disappointed in me?" Ask Nabila.

"Then why...?"

Nabila asked back.

"I'm confused."

Answer Cevin.

"Why...?" urgently Nabila, want to know the cause of Cevin's confusion. In the heart of the girl

indo had guessed what caused Cevin confused, but as a woman Nabila could not tell his feelings to the man even though he was long in Jakarta, he said, but he is still a descendant of eastern people who still hold the eastern culture.

"Yes confused after seeing you."

Answer Cevin.

"What's wrong with me...?" nabila asked as she rolled her beautiful eyes towards Cevin,

which makes Cevin's chest pound hard.

"You're beautiful" again that line came out of Cevin's mouth. As if there were no other words to express his heart. All that made Nabila just smile while shaking his head.

"Kok smiled...?" Ask Cevin.

"You're funny..."

Reply Nabila.

"Funny why?"

Ask Cevin.

"How many times have you just said: You're beautiful. Isn't that funny...?" Reply Nabila.

"The truth is you're beautiful."

Cevin.

"Ah, don't seduce."

Say Nabila.

"I'm not seducing."

Reply Cevin.

Nabila was silent with her lips still smiling. Her eyes were beautiful and sharp, momentarily looking forward. Enjoy the view around the road. Where tall buildings rise.

"It turns out Bandar Lampung is not inferior to Jakarta," he thought

Nabila tried to turn her mind to Cevin by enjoying the scenery along the road.

"Where are you staying, Vin?"

Ask Nabila.

"The House of Bukit Barisan."

Cevin

"Still far...?"

Ask Nabila.

"Lumayan, about fifteen more minutes."

Reply Cevin.

Nabila. For a while both of them were silent with their respective minds. But what they are thinking is the same. Both of them were thinking about the person beside them. Cevin was thinking about Nabila's beauty. So was Nabila, she was thinking about Cevin. Cevin is handsome and sympathetic. Ah, how disappointed he was not to be betrothed to that young man.

The car finally stopped, in the courtyard of a luxurious house. From inside, both Cevin's parents and his sister, Queena, came out. Mama Cevin with a sweet smile, welcomed the arrival of her future daughter-in-law.

"Hallo dear," greeted Selly while opening both hands, then hugged Nabila's body. "Let's go in... This is Auntie's house, Nabila." Selly continued.

"Ah Auntie, is the house this nice?" sahut Nabila with smiling lips, then according to enter in at the guidance of Selly. In the back, accompanying her papa Cevin, and Queena who constantly teases her brother.

"How, Mas?" Queena asked her sister.

"What's...?" Reply to Cevin's question back to his sister.

"Mas's Assessment."

Queena.

"About what...?"

Ask Cevin.

"Mbak Nabila." Queena.

"Ah, you..."

Reply Cevin.

"Repaint it, Mum?"

Queena.

"He-uh."

Reply Cevin.

"Where are you going with Balqis?"

Ask Queena back.

Cevin didn't say. Admittedly, it is more beautiful Nabila. But he was already in contact with Balqis. Even her college friend's girl is now pregnant. He needs responsibility from her. That's what's confusing Cevin. With the arrival of the beautiful Nabila, his heart became divided. Plus his family

it seems more agreeable that he married Nabila, rather than Balqis.

"If you find a girl like that, Mas. Education okay. Face okay...!!! Anyway everything is okay...!!!" seloroh Queena while giving a thumbs up, praising the existence of Nabila who is indeed in his perfect view.

They finally went in and sat down on the sofa that was in the living room. While Selly still drove Nabila to see the state of the luxury house. It seemed like the middle-aged woman, was about to show in detail the state of her home to her future son-in-law.

"Tante, listen, Cevin has a girlfriend...?" Ask Nabila.

"Yes, that's it. But you don't have to worry. If Aunt disagrees, what will...?" the middle-aged woman replied as she let out her long breath.

"Pretty...?"

Ask Nabila.

"Ah, village."

Reply Selly.

"It seems that Cevin loves her, Auntie." Say Nabila.

"You don't have to worry. If Auntie has spoken A, then nothing can change to B. Aunty does not agree if Aunt's son must be the husband of the village girl. That's why Auntie wants you back soon. Later Aunty called to Jakarta, so that papah, and mamahmu come. We need to talk about your marriage immediately."

Selly.

"But Cevin's not in college, Auntie."

Say Nabila.

"Ah, that's not a problem, is it?" selly replied with smiling lips, showing her confidence that she could solve the problem.

"I'm up to Auntie" finally Nabila. He handed his decision to Selly.

"Let's go on. Aunty will show you, where your room will be," the middle-aged woman, while guiding her future daughter-in-law. The two continued to step up, looking at the state of the mansion. Only after feeling enough because all the places in the house had been seen by Nabila, the two returned to the front room where the papa Cevin and his two children were still sitting.

"How, Nabila?" ask Cevin's papa. "Om hoping you'll be at home."

Efendi.

"Thank you, Om. Nabila will be at home, if Om and Cevin and Queena want to accept Nabila here," replied Nabila diplomatic, showing that she is not a girl carelessly. But the girl who has high intellect.

"Why not..? For us, Nabila is like his own family. And Om hopes that Nabila will consider this house like Nabila's own house," replied his papa Cevin with a friendly smile.

Joy colored their faces. Only Cevin seemed to be somewhat forced into smiling. Because at that time his mind was uncertain. Yes, since the arrival of Nabila, his mind was once round to keep loving Balqis, immediately split. Just because he felt sorry for Balqis alone, which made him try to keep that girl in mind.

"Cevin..," he rebukes, yanking Cevin from his daydreams.

"Yes, Ma."

Answer Cevin.

"Today you don't have to go to college."

Mama.

"But, Ma."

Reply Cevin.

"Already, Mamah said you don't have to go to college first. Take Nabila around the city and to places of recreation," his mother's orders firmly. Don't want to know what reason his son will give. That made Cevin complain. He actually wanted to reject his mama's will. But he did not dare.

"You want to, Vin...?" Ask Selly.

"Yes, Ma."

Answer Cevin.

"Later after lunch, take Nabila for a walk."

Continue again.

"Good, Ma."

Cevin can only say that kamuan mamahnya.

"Pah, please call papah and mamahnya Nabila at

Jakarta. Tell her that Nabila is here" Selly asked her husband, Efendi.

"Why yourself, Mah?"

Efendi.

"Farmer Papah."

Turn Selly on her husband.

"Yes already."

Efendi finally said.

"Queena..."

Selly said to his youngest son.

"Yes, Ma."

Reply Queena.

"You're not going anywhere either."

Selly.

"Why, Mah...? Queena's going to college, Mah...,"

Queena replied while grumbling Queena tried to reject his mother's decision, from the first, according to her mother was too imposing a will.

"Today, don't go in."

Once again, Selly repeated his words.

"You're doing it, Ma." Ask Queena.

"Just don't go anywhere. Accompany Mbak Nabila first. You gotcha...?" resolutely Selly with sharp glaring eyes, making his son immediately lowered his head.

"Yes, Mah," said Queena. No one disputes it. In that house, Selly was like an absolute queen. Until the decision, it should not be contested.

"Nah Nabila, later after eating you will be escorted by Cevin for a walk around Bandar Lampung.", said Selly. "There's no need to hesitate, because you'll soon be Cevin's wife."

Selly.

"Yes Aunty..."

Answer Nabila.

"Cevin..."

Selly's word leads to Cevin.

"Yes Mah..." Cevin answered.

"Take Nabika to her room. Because Nabila for a few days, will stay here."

Selly.

"Good, Mah. Come Nabila..," invited Cevin who was immediately followed by Nabila with pleasure. Because she did like her handsome and sympathetic future husband.
