About Nindi...

The night became increasingly dense after being covered in dark clouds that waded. The glint of lightning that struck illuminated the night was then followed by a deafening roar. A teenage girl walked gontai did not know the direction to go, she just continued to walk carrying her tired legs down the road. His mind is fucked, his life has been ruined, he's wasted. I thought, I thought, death is better than anything right now.

The drizzle began to fall, further adding to the coldness of the night that greeted his skin. Her tears continued to slide unendingly. Sad, disappointed and sorry.

Every now and then a few four-wheeled vehicles passed by, there was actually fear in his heart, he was afraid of a bad person who might disturb him considering he was walking alone in the silence of a night like this.

Sure enough, suddenly a car stopped right in front of him. He clenched his fist trying to dispel his fear and prepared to turn around and run.

"Breys!!!" A voice called out his name from the direction of the car that confronted him.

Bery squinted his eyes, trying to recognize the body of someone who ran up to him.

"Ber, it's me. Nindi!" Nindi grabbed both of Bery's shoulders.

"Mrs.. Nindi.." Bery's voice choked on the name of one of his schoolmates.

"Where are you going these nights?"

"I.e.." Bery's voice was swallowed by the horn of the car driven by the Nindi family.

"Come with me..." Nindi immediately pulled Bery's hand to follow him to the car. But his steps were held back because Bery remained in place.

"Sorry Nin. I can't, I. I.."

"Hussshhhhhh.." Nindi cuts Bery's speech. "I already know. It's okay! You come with me first, we'll tell."

Slowly Bery followed Nindi's steps. He was quite surprised because it turns out that on the car there are both Nindi's parents and his sister Bery also certainly know that Nindi's sister had just been sentenced to be free after killing her own uncle after his attempt to rape her mother.

He hesitated to get into the car, but he realized there was no other choice for him at the moment.

Incidentally, just after leaving the house, Nindi discussed the case of Bery which was being discussed by her friends on social media along with umi and her brother. Because the road that was passed was not flat because in some areas there are holes, making the car must run slowly. Unintentionally he was like looking at the figure of Bery who was highlighted by a car light.

At school, who doesn't know Bery? Beautiful girl, tomboy with her urination style. Not to mention he became very famous for his subscription to be a patient in the BK room. He also likes to bully, no matter anyone, even teachers can be made to cry atrocities because of his insolent behavior.

Although Nindi was called a nerd by her friends, but she was quite close to Bery because Bery was one of the students who most often asked for assignment help to her. But Nindi never felt taken advantage of by Bery, Nindi even happy to get to know a close figure who he thought was unique. Behind Bery's delinquency, but Bery has a heart that is so broad and does not distinguish from the status of beautiful-beautiful, smart-failed smart, as well as the rich-failed rich. Even the reliable lawyer who handled the case of Sky sister Nindi after being entangled in the murder case can not be separated from the help of Bery who asked her directly to her father to connect the Nindi family with the famous lawyer number one in the Republic.

"We're going to the capital, are you ready?" Nindi told Bery after her parents' car entered the airport area after 8 hours of non-stop driving.

"meaning?" Bery is still confused, especially throughout the journey he just fell asleep.

"Look we start a new life in a new place, and of course become a new Bery. Leave all the bad memories quite until here, after this we will all be a new life, with new people of course. How's it?" Back Nindi stared deeply into Bery's eyes which also looked at her meaningfully.

Bery glanced at the two Nindi parents and they simultaneously nodded their heads with a warm smile on their shady faces.

"All right. I want to!" Bery said with conviction.

Bery and Nindi embrace each other.

"Thank you." said Bery.

While on the trip, Nindi had asked her to officially prepare a ticket for Bery. Although Nindi is not yet convinced Bery will agree to his idea, Nindi will try to convince him. He will not let Bery stay alone here against his fate alone.

For a month we have been citizens of the capital. There's not much I've done here. Most of the time I spent locked myself in my room. Various ways Nindi and Umi Aida did to comfort me, but everything felt bland. I don't know.I still can't get away from the regret and fear facing the future that since that incident, everything looks gray, there is no bright future in my dictionary. I'm like a piece of meat without filling.

"Where do you want to go to college and what do you want to major in?" Abi Hasan asked me to open the conversation as we all gathered in the living room.

Before moving to the capital, Abi Hasan had bought a house on the outskirts of the capital, a house that is quite comfortable with two floors and a spacious and beautiful yard.

I raised my face to look at Nindi's father who I called Abi the last month as Nindi and Sky called him. I breathed heavily, my tongue was muffled, not knowing what to say.

"I just want to find a job, Abi. Maybe by working I can get busy and be independent."

To be honest, I've been feeling very hard hitchhiking in this warm and accepting family to me. Behind their warmth, there was a huge wound still gaping between them. I can't fumble the extent of the wound felt by Abi Hasan, his wife almost raped by her own siblings, her brother killed by her son and her son now like an undead, no expression on his face. Ah, this kid, whatever rages in his mind, it's like living in his own world. I think his life is more miserable than mine right now.

While Umi Aida, behind a warm smile and her soothing face, still the look of the wound that is reflected in the water of her face is still visible even though disguised.

Nindi's? I don't know what his heart is made of, he's so fiercely circling every wounded soul around him.

"You can go to college while you work" Umi Aida's voice broke my daydream.

"That's fine, abi see you like drawing." Abi Hasan added.

Once again I raised my face looking at Abi Hasan with both furrowed eyebrows looking at her.

"Let's know you like to draw, abi often find the paper garbage you put in the trash. You're talented. Being an Architect seems to suit you. Later you can while working in the company abi if you are ready. Not necessarily after the bachelor, the sooner the better. Your duties and responsibilities after work will make you learn faster."

"But.me..."

"You don't have to think about the cost. We consider you like your own child. It's just that after this abi will look for the boarding houses that are worthy for you to stay. Not that abi kicked you out, do not misunderstand, just that abi and Sky are still not mahram for you as much as abi already considers you his own child. I think you understand it up here."

Ah, yes. The Nindi family is a very religious family. They are examples of families who practice religious teachings at various joints of their lives. They are very guarding themselves from association between the opposite sex especially considering the events that have happened to Umi Aida. It seems they don't want to be cheated anymore. Abi Hasan and Sky are normal men. It's not good for me to be under the same roof as them.

"Me and Umi will visit you often, you can still stay here often." Nindi assured me. I only replied with a smile and tightened my grip on her hand which had been holding my hand since this conversation was opened by Abi Hasan.

"How are you?" I asked Nindi.

"I've been accepted at University A at the Faculty of Medicine." Answer Nindi sparkles.

I forgot, Nindi had already been declared a pass at one of the prestigious Universities in the country through the test-free track long before the national final exam.

"All right, I'll try to list it on your campus. May we receive so that we can often meet. I'll also find a boarding house near there." My words are no less sparkling with Nindi.

I will take advantage of this opportunity well. I promise I won't break Abi Hasan and Umi Aida's trust like I destroyed my mother's and my father's trust.

After that conversation, we took a little time to tell stories and chat with each other. Nindi who I know is quiet turned out to be very chatty when at home. Maybe because both parents always give space for him to express his opinion and convey the contents of his mind.

While in one corner of the room, a boy just stared blankly at the aquarium in front of him. He was not at all interested in our chatter, even it seemed like he did not want to hear it see

a headset that is placed in his ear. The sky!
