From last afternoon my mind was so unsettled that I thought of Nonik who had no lunch and no dinner.
At the time of returning home from work, I hurriedly headed to the parking lot while carrying two packs of food.
I'm so worried about Nonik not eating until this hour. Arriving at the parking lot I immediately started my motorbike, then drove it at high speed.
After arriving in front of the room, I knocked on the door of the room.
" Sign.tok...tok..." The door to his room I had knocked many times, but Nonik did not open the door.
" Nonik, it's Juan. Please open the door ! " i shouted as I continued to knock on her bedroom door.
But still there is no reply from within . Honestly, I feel embarrassed and unwell towards the person who lives next door to my room. I'm afraid I'm interrupting his break.
" Has Nonik slept ? Usually hearing the sound of my bike alone he's out 'but now it's not out . Or did he accidentally not open the door because he was angry with me ? Or don't-don't Donik faint because he hasn't eaten yet ?" I thought I was filled with so many questions.
I quickly opened my backpack because I wanted to find a spare key that I deliberately kept for emergencies.
I hurriedly stuffed the key into the keyhole of the door. I opened the door, but I saw the room was empty. I don't see any Nonik there. I'm looking for the bathroom, too, nothing.
"Yes, God . Did Nonik get angry and leave me ? " my mind is sad
I then took my phone and dialed the Noonik number, but my phone call was not picked up at all by him. Ten times I've hung up his number, but still not picked up.
" Lord, I don't want to part with Nonik. It's all my fault for not being a good husband to her . Where do I look for him now ? His best friend's number is also I don't have . Going to his parents' house was also definitely impossible . It's raining outside, too" I murmured as I shed my tears.
I locked the door from outside. I want to find Nonik to places he has been to, including his parents' house. Just finished locking the door suddenly my phone shook and I saw a call coming in from Nonik.
I immediately shifted the green call icon.
π" Hello Nonik, where are you now ?" I asked impatiently.
π" I'm at the minimarket next to our kosan. Sorry Juan, I forgot to tell you that starting today I work in the minimarket next to our boarding house" Nonik explained
I then breathed a sigh of relief as it turned out that Nonik was not angry with me.
π" Nonik, it's late and tomorrow we have to go to school. Did you take the night shift ? " many worry.
π" No really. I work the afternoon shift but because it's still raining so I can't go home yet,"
π" Then wait there. I'm going there now to pick you up" I replied, ending the phone call just like that.
A few minutes later I arrived in front of the minimarket next to my room.
From the outside I saw Nonik chatting with a man. My heart ached when I saw Nonik chatting with the man.
I gallantly came down from the top of the bike, and then opened my rain coat, after which put the rain coat on top of my bike.
In front of Minimarket is sitting a man and a woman . But suddenly the woman greeted me .
"Hay boy, going inside huh ? " said the woman, smiling at me.
" Yes, brother," I replied while looking at him
" Who is this woman ? Do I know him ? " i thought confusedly while scratching my head that didn't feel itchy
" Loli, what are you doing ? Every time you see a handsome guy, you always greet him. You embarrass me" whispered the man beside her, but I could still hear everything she said.
" Nonic ? " call me when I'm standing in front of him. Nonik looked straight at me.
" Juan ? You have already come ? "
" Juan, this is Kak Bayu . He's a friend at my workplace" said Nonik, smiling at me.
I then met with Kak Bayu. I introduced myself as the lover of Nonik. I want others to know that the Nonik is mine.
" Sister, we go home first huh ?" say Nonik to Bayu.
" Yes, Nick. Be careful on the road," replied Bayu as he smiled.
" Well we go home" said Nonik, holding my hand.
" Kak Dimas, Kak Andi, I leave home" said Nonik to minimarket employees who stood guard at night.
" Yes, be careful" replied the two of them.
But my steps suddenly stopped when I saw a bandage on a shelf. This morning I saw a tonic pad with three seeds, and now he's still coming by the moon. If you do not buy sanitary napkins now, then tomorrow it is certain that there are no pads that he will wear.
" Nonik, wait a minute. There's something I want to buy here," I said as I stepped my foot onto a shelf displaying various types of pads. Without saying anything, I took a pack of winged pads.
" Juan, why take the pads ? " whispered Nonik to me
" Hasn't your bandage gone ? If you don't buy pads now, what will you wear tomorrow ? " many whisper.
" But I don't have any money at the moment" whispered Nonik again
" Let's calm, I have some money" I replied smilingly as I ruffled Nonik's hair.
After picking up a pack of pads, I immediately went to the cashier to pay for it.
I saw everyone staring at me with pads, but I ignored their gazes.
After paying for the pads, I put them in Nonik's bags, and then we came out .
I saw the woman who greeted me so surprised to see me with Nonik.
" Sister Abi, Brother Loli, I go home first ." Nonik said goodbye to them with a smile.
But they did not reply to Nonik at all.
" Oh it turns out they are employees here, but it seems they don't like Nonik," I thought as I took my rain coat on the bike.
" Nonik, let's put on this coat, you'll be rained on" I said, helping her put on a rain coat. Because it only has one coat, so I gave my coat to Nonik because he needed it more than me.
" Juan, what are you wearing ?" asked Nonik with worry.
" I don't care if it's raining, I haven't had a shower either. But if you just can't be rained 'cause now you're coming in month '" I explained.
" Alright, but you have to take a bath with warm water huh ? " said Nonik who went straight up my bike
" Yes, as long as you also take a bath with warm water so as not to hurt," replied me who then left the minimarket.
