Falling Into Your Trap
Return of Nalisa; (Nalisa and its Plan of Turn)

Today is a sunny day with a gentle breeze that cools the skin. The sun does not sting like in the dry season. Nalisa, after she managed to get out of the hospital after more than a week, chose to go to the park around her house. The place he used to visit to at least relax and play with his little circle when they were not knowing a place, especially that they could visit to just relieve boredom.

Of course, getting access to just going to a place that is not up to seven minutes walk is not easy. Nalisa had to beg her parents to let herself at least breathe the air outside her house because she wanted to refresh herself from being tired and tired about her recent life.

At first, Lisa wasn't sure if her Mom and Dad would allow her to just stand in her little yard. Because after getting out of the hospital and making sure that he was healthy and perfect, there are no more obstacles either from his throbbing head or his joints that feel almost loose, he said, Her mother and father still insist on being around her as if not tired to remind Lisa of what will happen in her life in the next two weeks.

It's exhausting to think about. Lisa was fed up of being in a contemplating phase and wallowing in her emotions that blazed like a blazing fire if everything she said, was all she said, he complained and he fought in front of his parents completely unnoticed and ignored like he was not allowed to participate in his own life, Nalisa stopped tantrum like a baby.

She's tired. He had already wallowed enough in his frustration that the negative energies were overshadowing him like a dark fog portal that was drowning him. He did not want to sit in useless emotions and cries and could not change anything. Nalisa can't stand her mother's babble every time she praises Noren in front of Lisa and tells her many things about the beauty of a perfect marriage as if making sure her daughter will definitely live the same same with all the bullshit.

Lisa has gone through that horrible phase. Now all he needs to do is get up and find a way out. And from that, then, one morning after breakfast together with his full family that felt like it went through one of the biggest hurdles of how hard he was to swallow food (because eating with his parents today is very awkward and not recommended)-, with a confidently composed courage, Lisa pleads for her release to go out of the house.

At first Lisa begged her father to let her play in the city park. He misses the atmosphere of the cafe with the Vanilla Lotus Ice Cream Cake which is often bought by Alpino when they have free time to walk around spending time together after work.

Or if allowed, he wanted to go to Madevison to meet with Hala who was taking to the field. The last time Lisa spoke to Hala, the woman complained about missing Lisa in the office. Bored, he said, because no one could accompany him to lunch because the marketing boy was in such a great rush earlier this year.

Lisa also misses the office atmosphere. His friends who though not so close as how Hala and other marketing children unite still make a curiosity for Lisa. Is it with the empty presence of Lisa so far they miss Lisa? Is Lisa's performance still needed there? Lisa is also unwell that her work will be charged at her division friends. Not to mention, she was curious as to how Miss Jelita was doing.

Ah, thinking about her little happiness in the office and how she could eventually find comfort in the people she admires.. now everything is smashed and lost just like that because of the actions of Noren who has ravaged it like a wind*****pile adversely.

But unfortunately, his father was vehemently opposed about his desire to go away from home. The reason is very classic and still the same. The middle-aged man was afraid that Lisa would run away or do stupid things that were undesirable and harmful. So, Lisa accepted the rejection at first. However, Lisa is not a five-year-old boy who will obey and listen to the Father's orders.

Lisa is a young adult who can look for loopholes to keep upholding what she needs. It's also good for your mental and physical health, right? Be in the end, when he insists in the argument a plea to still be allowed out with the many excuses he spewed out, the sound of help from Sinar was what made his father finally allow him to set foot in this place now.

The light also went.

Well of course. She already knew that her bodyguard was now her own brother. But it doesn't matter. Sinar is on her side at the moment and that alone is what Lisa needs. Her brother would not make her uncomfortable either.

Sinar must understand what Lisa needs now because, just look, The Big Brother is not exactly next to him like a guard dog. But Sinar was currently sitting in a small pavilion with eyes focused on his tablet and reading glasses. I don't know what to do. But certainly not far from work.

Lisa is grateful that Sinar can appreciate Lisa's wishes. Perhaps this is also one form of responsibility of what was also the interference of Sinar from the beginning. But never mind, this has all happened and Lisa no longer wants to wallow in the same hole for the hundredth time. Her tears are precious and her psychic is what she should pay attention to first.

Now, Lisa just has to figure out a way to keep her life from being this sad again. He was sure he was a pretty good person with ideas and intelligence. Lisa believes her head is capable of making many impossibilities a definite possibility.

There must be something to do. Sure.

”Nalisa!!! I miss lo!!”

One big hug ambushed Lisa without a cue. Lisa who should have been able to predict what would happen still could not prepare for this attack. He forgot that this time, Jihan would accompany him to give him some advice and make him open his eyes to things he could not solve on his own.

”Jihan! Ahh I miss you too. We haven't met for a long time! You never even looked at me in the hospital!” Lisa sneering. Even so, he patted Jihan's small back and shook the woman to the right and to the left with the goldenness she always had for a Jihan.

”I'm so sorry, yeah, Lisa. The early-year tournaments are always sudden. I swear, I don't feel good when I know from the kids that you're in the hospital. I thought you would be treated at the doang house. How bad does it hurt?”

The worried frown from Jihan made Lisa's heart soften. He anxiously pinched both of Jihan's cheeks that were grimacing in pain. The boy, despite being an athlete, this squishy and gentle side is what Lisa likes about a Jihan. Funny innocence and able to be assertive at the same time. Lisa forgets how long she hasn't been left alone with Jihan.

”Nothing, Ji. I also if not dragged with my Mama to the Hospital was definitely just outpatient at home doang. Ordinary, my parents if the panic is always excessive indeed. You know yourself, right?”

Nalisa brought Jihan to sit on the round swing in the park. Covered with two shade trees on the right and left to make the coolness they feel increases. He was happy with how things were today. It feels, there is support from nature to simply pamper its lost territory some time ago.

”Iya, anyway. Understand me. But are you really okay? You're healthy, aren't you? I'm afraid you're down again. I swear, squirming you collapsed on the floor of your room makes me hang, you know! Don't do it again, huh, Lisa?” Jihan pleads. Lisa even had forgotten that there was also Jihan who saw him at the lowest point. How shameful..

”Gue not promised. But, Ji. I don't want to know if I'm in that position either. I have never fainted in my entire life. Just yesterday I did that. Not delicious. Anyway do not try deh” Nalisa shuddered, recalling how strange it felt at that time.

”Not good. That's why I'm scared to death when you see so. You just don't have a lot of thoughts anymore, huh, Lis. Don't think about the things you don't need to think about” Jihan insisted. His firm gaze made Lisa smile. He nodded quickly.

”Gue mah never had much thought. Yeah you know for yourself, right, why am I so?” There was a ringing sound of teeth meeting. Lisa did not want to imagine going back to that day but it felt like, she could not forget how overflowing her hatred for Noren was when the man snapped at her with unreasonable coercion.

”Iya I understand. I don't want to talk about Noren in front of you. Anyway now the topic of our conversation about lo, about your health, about anything you want to ask me like you said in our chat kita”

This is what Lisa likes about Jihan. The woman always knows the limits although sometimes there are some things that must be explained first. That is why Lisa revealed some important things in online communication between herself and Jihan so that the woman knew there was a limit that she had to take care of and appreciate. What Jihan is doing now is enough to make Lisa thank her.

”If I want to discuss a question that does not make sense though, you still want to answer ’kan, Ji? I need a refreshment. My brain seems clogged after not used for centuries” Lisa giggled when Jihan hit her thigh with anxiety because of her speech.

”Most if century, mah, Lisa. Be able. Ask me what it is. But that makes sense, huh? I think if asked that is beyond common sense and common human reason will also not be able to answer” Jihan's smile looks very sweet under the shadow of lush foliage. Lisa feels safe just by seeing how sincere her best friend is to her.

Nalisa took a decent amount of time to ask. He sorted through the questions inside his head where he should start. The mountain bike that Jihan was riding was parked safely near a short, wide trunk tree. It is fitting that Lisa was not aware of the arrival of Jihan because the woman did not come with something noisy from the vehicle engine.

His sister was still relaxed in the pavilion. Not looking at him at all to make sure he doesn't try anything strange. Sinar kept his promise by giving Lisa space and distance. That alone was enough for Lisa to still place great trust in her Brother after what the man did. Thankfully, Lisa had forgiven the man with no hint of darkness left over his name in Lisa's heart.

”Ji.” he started.

”Hum?”

”If for example, nih. Rhetorical question. If for example you again face a problem between life and death where you have to make big decisions, you will take something risky for yourself or for others around lo?” Lisa knew the question was too vague. But he was testing the waters on Jihan's answer before believing she could get into the heart of the conversation.

”Means?”

”It is easy, if you are in big trouble. You are more likely to run away and save yourself by harming others and potentially someday there will be even greater problems or.. you choose to end your life so that all the problems stop at lo and you can calm down after?”

Lisa knew her question a bit stupid and was too transparent. But this is Jihan. Jihan with her mind that is always positive and innocent, will not be able to read Lisa's mind far and precisely. Not like Hala or Alpino. If Lisa were to discuss this with the two men, it was certain that Lisa would get a long interrogation and worry of the two people being too able to read it like an open book.

Alpino and Hala's thoughts are not as clean as Jihan's. Although Lisa is also not sure of the cleanliness of Jihan's mind to what aspect and to what extent, but Lisa can confirm that the question for Jihan is harmless.

”If you talk about death, honestly, I will not be able to make that thought. It feels a horrible aspect of death to me who still wants to live. Even if I have a hard time in my life, I will still choose to live and fight, anyway, Lis. I don't want to die yet. As long as I'm still breathing, I'm sure, any problem I can face and through”

Steady answer. Lisa felt a slight pulse of pinching in her heart. Jihan doesn't deserve him to answer this bad question with how well he told Lisa.

”But if you run away also in my opinion will not solve the problem, anyway. Maybe it just worsens the situation? I also definitely will be overshadowed by the same problem if I choose this option. It feels terrible not, anyway, if in terror continues? I guess life is not calm either. The one with my mentality was destroyed first time, ya”

Well. Lisa also knew of the consequences. Actually, he only wanted to hear from others to strengthen his mind points here.

”So? According to what you will do if the problem is not gone and can not disappear at all unless you resigned your life in ripped and you can not be happy every time you wake up in the morning or breath though?” Press Lisa again. Lisa wants answers and she is not satisfied with what she got so far.

”Why should I resign? There are other options besides death or escape. Or whatever you said earlier? There are many ways out for one problem if you can really see from various directions, Nalisa. In my opinion, yes, surely there will be one or two other ways that can be used to solve the problem if the real choice is to give up”

”Example?” Lisa raised an eyebrow, this time there was something interesting from Jihan's remark.

”Gert?”

Jihan was silent for a moment.

”Gue has watched the 2nd Fajri Movie Detective Conan: The Fourteenth Target which tells the story of why Kogoro shot his wife in the foot while being held hostage with a criminal. That's because the criminal bully Kogoro with an alibi will kill his wife who incidentally is the person he loves ’kan? Which is where the villain is sure that with the bluff, Kogoro will not be able to do anything but give up”

Obviously at length.

”But unfortunately Kogoro pinter because he shot a hostage in a place that is not too dangerous or fatal so that the hostage still survived but instead became a burden for the criminal. If so, will not the criminal take off the wounded hostage dong? Well anyway that's it. It's a good story and you have to watch it, Lisa. Recommend anyway!”

With an innocent face, the sparkling Jihan instead recommended the spectacle to Lisa. Sometimes Lisa herself gets upset with this Jihan's way of thinking.

”The problem, Ji. I'm not asking for movie recommendations. But the answer to my question. Now, the whole point of what lo talk, deh?”

Jihan looks blushed. He knew he was getting too carried away because of his already off-track answer. But for Lisa it seems like Jihan is satisfied with what she is saying and does not want to attract anything she has spoken with that cheerful voice.

”Yeah so be happy, hehe. Sorry” She giggles funny. It was fortunate that this was Jihan, so Lisa could forgive him as fast as lightning.

”Yah in my opinion, anyway. If we are in a state of urgency in a severe problem that you like to say earlier, rather than giving up and resigning will be bad in plain sight, before the eyes, why don't we be the criminals and make a bluff that makes everyone excited and guilty? Maybe by holding something that is important to someone else or something”.

”Yes I mean, tuh. There's always a possibility in impossibility, right? But this goes back to her lo again, anyway. Or to the person who has the problem itself to think more critically and carefully in the future. You see, it is better to be negotiated in a family and cool head and there are mediators who are broad-minded and not heavy on one side. Maybe it would be better to help troubleshooting?”

Lisa flashes. Jihan is really good at words without trying. This almost makes Lisa lulled and reveal all her problems to the woman.

But if you think about what Jihan said...

”Gertakan, yes?” whispered slowly.

”Lo definitely not horrified my next greeting ’kan, Lisa? Though it's a reference that is better used by normal people usually, you know. It's more drama than bluffing. After all, if the bluff must be there is a gap to digagalin. Unless the guy's reckless, anyway.”

”Oh.” Again, Lisa whispered. Something suddenly appeared in his head like a whirlwind.

”Come, yes?” then, a grin appeared on his face. His head began to be illuminated with a bright sun and a clear sky within his head, replacing the gloomy gray clouds that had still faithfully steamed some time before.

He must have gotten one thing he could do.

”Jihan, lo genius!”

Suddenly, Lisa shook Jihan's body hard. The woman who was not aware of what she had done was staggered by not understanding what was in the hype by Nalisa. All Jihan could do was nod and laugh following her best friend's change of emotions. It was strange, yet Jihan could compensate in a split second.

”Gue is very lucky to have a friend as cool as elo, Ji!”

One big peukan he gave Jihan with too much energy. Jihan screamed inside Lisa's cage, making the round swing move unstably. They both laughed loudly, frightened because they were sure to fall on several occasions because of their brutal movements which were then followed by an exclamation of gratitude and giggling because of the arrival of Sinar who helped them like a hero of misfortune.

With a worried sour face, Sinar asked. ”What are you doing, anyway? What if it falls? Danger know. Next time don't freak on a moving object, yeah!” it was like scolding a toddler.

”Sorry to you Brother Sinar. We just reflex doang earlier, so forget the place” Jihan giggled. There was a hint of guilty twinkle in his eyes, but it was immediately pushed aside with Lisa who instantly re-embraced Jihan tightly until both of their cheeks were stuck.

”Gapapa Brother. There's someone to help us, hehe. I'm happy to have Jihan here!”

Lisa can see from her sister's facial water that looks more relaxed than some time lately. Lisa knows the reason. It must be because seeing how his sister is more loose and fresh after the storm hit.

”Oh yes Brother, can I not play to the same Heaven's Path Jihan? I swear, I will not run away! The Jihan doang. Appointment!”

Without a doubt, Lisa knew that her sister would definitely allow it.

”Don't be long, huh?”

And with that, Lisa immediately dragged Jihan to have fun on the Heaven's Path.
