I'm the Forgotten One
The Nadine 2.

Agatha and Memey drew closer to the sofa after being met with a shocking turn of events. “Nad, why?” ask Agatha and Memey simultaneously. They panic and at the same time worry about the condition of his best friend.

FLASHBACKS

Two hours before Agatha and Memey reached Nadine's house, Welson arrived at Nadine's house. After receiving admission from ART Nadine, Welson went straight to Nadine's room and was followed by ART. “Nad. You sleeping?” greet Welson from the outside.

Hearing Welson's voice, Nadine immediately opened the door of her room. “Why?” asked Nadine sarcastically. “You want what you came here for?”

Seeing the look on Nadine's face that was not friendly and continued with a cynical look, Welson ventured to grab Nadine's hand. Welson was taken aback by Nadine's current attitude. Not fully Nadine's hand he lifted, suddenly Nadine flicked her hand hard so that it was out of hand. Welson nodded heavily against Nadine. “Heii. What the hell are you? Why am I suddenly angry, what is my fault? I came here it's because I'm worried about you.” Welson looked at Nadine with a serious look. His hand again tried to grab Nadine's hand, but the same thing happened again.

“Please! Don't think gini, Nad. The story if there is nothing,” said Welson.

“Go from here!” nadine snapped which was followed by the movement of her hand pointing at the exit.

Distraught and confused, it was evident from Welson's handsome face. Because Nadine had never been like this if Welson was nearby. “Arrrggghhh!” Welson ruffled his hair out of confusion over how to persuade Nadine. “Nad, what exactly am I wrong that you seem to hate me so much? Have I ever troubled you?” Welson's gaze was clear.

“What did you say?” Nadine smiled wryly. “You still don't realize where you went wrong, huh?” cynical Nadine. His hands he raised to the chest and formed a cross there.

“Tap me never feel guilty about you. What do you think, Nad?” Welson holds Nadine's shoulder, but Nadine shakes her hand.

“Your ways..” Nadine stopped her words. His chest felt tight, his gaze pushy. Slowly but surely, the estuary in his eye was now wet. Her tears dripped along with her sobs.

“Iya, I why, hm? Why are you crying like that?” ask Welson gently.

Hearing Welson's totally stupid answer, Nadine stopped her crying to be able to make a sound. “For you, my future is gone. Something is missing from inside me because of you. I'm dirty even more than trash. I hate myself,” he said without looking at Welson.

“Wait first. I still don't understand what you're talking about. I...” his speech was immediately refuted by Nadine.

“Enough! You really want to enjoy it. Sweet is thrown away. Do you know, that night and in that villa you took everything. Change everything. I am like this because of you. What if I'm pregnant, huh?” nadine said with emotions already burning in her head.

Welson nodded in understanding the direction Nadine was talking. “You just calm down. That's not gonna happen. Trust me,” said Welson casually.

Nadine was crying again. How painful his heart and mind are right now. Plus his hot body, making him powerless to vent his cries. He sobbed until he leaned against the wall and sat down.

Welson couldn't bear to see her cry like that. He took Nadine's body to stand up and embrace her. Nadine was crying in her arms. “You are calm. That will not happen,” said Welson with his hand gently rubbed Nadine's head.

Welson took Nadine to sit on the living room couch after Nadine was satisfied crying. “You were here first. I'll grab a drink first for you.” Welson walks into the kitchen without Nadine's consent.

When Welson's shadow had disappeared in the kitchen, Nadine tried to stand up to go to the toilet. His head felt dizzy and heavy. It may be the effect of crying and fever.

Bruuuk!! The sound of Nadine's head crashing against the table in front of her. Nadine fell down because she lost control. Coinciding with that, came Agatha and Memey.

FLASHBACK OFF

“Nad, wake. Don't stay with us. Hiksss...hiksss.” Memey cried while shaking Nadine's hand.

Plitakk!! Agatha snapped at Memey's head softly because of his words as if Nadine had already preceded them. “Sempring. Keep your words. He's not dead, it's just fainting.”

“Gue worried tau lo,” said Memey.

“Iya knows what you think. I'm worried too. You have a worry, huh?” snapped Agatha on Memey. “Help me lift Nadine to the sofa!”

Afraid that Agatha might get angry at him, he finally obeyed Agatha with his mouth closed. With great difficulty the two of them lifted Nadine onto the sofa, finally succeeding as well.

“Loh, you guys? When's come? Nadine why?” welson asked with his hand carrying a glass of water.

“New to. Uh right in front of the door directly served with Nadine who fainted hit the table. Tuh see, the white eidat aja benjol,” said Memey.

“Luck is just here. If from earlier it can be found out,” Inner Welson.

“Which else went where, Yank? How come you're just here?” ask Agatha.

Welson unconsciously sipped the water he held. While continuing to gulp, he looked for an excuse for Agatha's question. “They're back. I missed because I was taking a drink to the kitchen,” Welson replied accordingly.

Agatha and Memey had no suspicion at all of Welson for focusing on Nadine, who was still unconscious. Memey continued to shake Nadine's body hoping to regain consciousness quickly. For almost an hour, Nadine was smothered because her nose was smeared with wind oil by Agatha. The look in his eyes was not clear yet, Nadine slowly opened her eyes. “Ka..you guys are here too?” asked Nadine stammering. His hand held a throbbing head. “Why do you guys look panicked, I why? Auuuw!” Nadine grimaced in pain as she accidentally felt her hand on her forehead.

“Lo just woke up from fainting.” Agatha looked at Nadine's face with concern. “Lo hurts what? Already eaten?”

“Gu..gue only ordinary fever. My head is very dizzy,” he said, “lafsu eat enggak friendly.”

Agatha immediately took out the cake and fruits that she bought for Nadine. The first cake that Agatha offered to Nadine was Nadine's favorite cake. Nadine's eyes stared at the cake with a sparkle. But now his face looks beautiful. Seeing Agatha's kindness, he felt guilty for betraying her. Her tears flowed back down her cheeks. “Thanks.” That was the only word he could say to Agatha. His heart ached shaking off all the raging feelings in his head. Should he choose and give up?

“Lo eat gih. I know you haven't eaten at all.” Agatha returned the cake to Nadine, but Nadine shook her head. “Loh, you don't like the cake? Eat this cake first if not taste the same rice. Ntar add pain.”

“Iya, Nad. What Agatha said is true. We all do not want you to go to the hospital because of hunger,” Memey said. Again Agatha touched Memey's ears because of Memey's careless speech.

How many times did Agatha and Memey persuade Nadine to fill her belly, but to no avail. Until in the end Welson also persuaded, it was still difficult. By all means the three of them persuaded, to the point that even the language of the little ones they carried around.

Nadine's ears were filled with the ravings and persuasions of the three people who were with her. He chose to give up and ate the cake from Agatha. “Iya-iya. I ate,” he said with annoyance.

After feeling Nadine was in a state of improvement, Agatha, Welson, and Memey resigned from Nadine's house. “If anything, let me know. Let's not panic like gini,” said Agatha and embraced by Nadine.

“Thanks, yes.” Nadine commented on the short smile on her thin lips.

🕊️🕊️🕊️

The journey home went smoothly without a hitch, until Agatha forgot to take Memey to her home. Memey came home together to Agatha's house and he was stunned when he realized not in front of her house. “Loh, this isn't my home? You got the wrong address, huh? Time quickly you forget the address gur?” memey.

“Gosh. I forgot to leave you earlier. I guess you're not with me.” Agatha patted her forehead and laughed with her own actions. “Already, you at my home aja nemenin me.”

Memey did not immediately answer Agatha's proposal because he was afraid that his mother and father would be angry because of her daze. “Ntar if mom papa I nyariin how?” said it.

“Down and said at my house how difficult?” say Agatha, “ayo get off! I'm laper!”

“Iya-ya. kok I forgot that now all modern times, yes?” Memey laughing. “Lo first time. I want to connect mama papa first, let me not find me anywhere.”

“Yakin tell me first? It's hard to find my room. Who you have even entered the tiger's cage. Haha.”

“Eh-eh. Yasudah, wait for me,” said Memey. He immediately called his parents and gave information that he was in the house of a respected and rich person. The call ended after talking to her parents.

Arriving inside the house, Agatha and Memey immediately broke through to the kitchen without going to the room first just to change clothes. Bi Momon had just served his dishes on the dining table, the same table when Memey ate with Agatha's parents after from L city. The aroma of Bi Momon's cooking rippled in all corners of the kitchen. “The aroma makes laper.” Memey inhaled the aroma of Bi Momon's cooking.

“Eh, tumben already here, Non?” bi Momon asked Agatha when she realized that her little lady was at the dinner table.

“Iya, Bi. I'm laper. What's aunt cooking? The aroma is very tempting,” said Agatha.

“Balado sambal sauce, Non favorite soup truss. There is pepes fish, mushrooms oyster sauce is like goat gulai,” Bi Momon replied.

Memey's ears immediately caught the word sambal balado. In her opinion, it was like a song from dangdut singer Ayu Ting Ting.

“Sambala, sambala, bala sambalado. Feels spicy, feels hot. Sambala, sambala, bala sambalado. Mouth shaking, tongue swaying.” Suddenly Memey sings with a glass as his mic.

“Aseeeekkk. Continue, Neng!” Bi Momon started connecting with Memey's silliness.

“In your tongue that. Contains embers of fire. It burns the heart. In your tongue. Contains rat poison. Which turns it off.”

The dining room became cramped due to the silliness of Memey and Bi Momon. Memey sings and Bi Momon as the jogger. Apron and spatula also did not release Bi Momon so excited. Agatha was half annoyed and half holding back laughter at the sight of her extremely compact companions and assistants.

“Wadd. Sadistic very yes, Neng?” said Bi Momon while dancing.

“About, Bi?” ask Memey.

“That's loh. Aunt was horrified to hear the word that her tongue contained embers of fire. Doesn't blister the mouth?”

“Ah already, Bi. It's just a parable. Let's go again!” Memey then continued the song that had been cut off because of Bi Momon. The two of them returned together.

Suddenly Mang Judas appeared behind the living room. “Wah-wah's. What is this event?”

“Maclumin only, Mang. That's another child to meet with the mother,” Agatha said. “Aibi, Memey, stop. Let's go eat. Laper nih.”

Hearing the screams from Agatha, Bi Momon and Memey finally ended and ate together. The three of them - Mang Judas, Bi Momon, and Memey - ate with each other throwing laughter. Unlike Agatha whose face is difficult to guess. What was in his mind returned to the harmony of his old family. Agatha stopped her eating. His stomach feels full by itself when remembering a warm moment with his parents. “Aibi, Mang judas. I'm leaving for the room.” Agatha stood up and carried her bag.

“Eh, Non. Full already? He said laper, how not finished already eating?” ask Bi Momon.

“I'm full, Bi. Mey, you eat first, then follow me up, yes!” Agatha immediately rushed towards her room.

“Bi? Can it?” memey said in between his meals.

“What's it, Neng? Don't be a soul mate, yeah. Aunty does not want to marry,” said Bi Momon casually.

“Haha. Aunt is funny. But that's not what I want to ask, Bi.” Memey's getting serious.

“Terus?”

“But Aunty has to answer, yes!” memey commands.

“Terus?” said Bi Momon like a mall parking lot.

“Ih, Aunt. Seriously I'm nih.” Memey pouted.

“Hahaha. Bi Momon likes to piss off, Neng. Hence non Agatha is usually lazy with Bi Momon,” Mang Judas on Memey.

Bi Momon glared his eyes at Mang Judas. One card was revealed, but Memey also knew that Agatha also often told him.

“Bi, is it true Agatha lately often overlooked om same aunt?” asked Mey carefully. He was afraid that Bi Momon might interfere in family matters that were not his right.

Taking a heavy breath for Bi Momon could tell her everything. His chest felt choked when he had brought up Agatha's parents. Without a doubt Bi Momon told Memey everything. Bi Momon thought, who knows by telling his best friend, Agatha can be embraced and encouraged by him-Memey. Starting from the harmony of the first until the estrangement between parents and children, everything Bi Momon told me. Memey's face looked sad. He could also feel what Agatha was experiencing right now. “As the story goes, Neng.” Bi Momon took out a piece of tissue to wipe his wet face.

“So much love Agatha, yes, Bi.” Memey also wiped his face.

“Iya, Neng. Maybe at school he looks cheerful, but actually there is sadness in it. Forgive non Agatha if there are words that might hurt the feelings of Neng and his other friends,”, said Bi Momon.

“Iya, Bi. I got it. Earlier in the car, Agatha also told me about her parents. That's why I want to ask Auntie in detail. But at school, he was quieter than cheerful, Bi.” Memey recounted Agatha's daily life at school.

“Do not stay non Agatha herself, yes, Neng!” timpal Mang Judas's.

“Iya, Mang. He will not leave her alone. I am ready to be the place to share my story, at least to lighten the burden on her mind. Yeah, even though I always piss him off, anyway. Hehe,” Memey replied.

“Well. That was a good friendship. Don't come when you need to and leave if you don't need to. You are young, you must support each other, Neng.” Mang Judas thumbs up at Memey.

“They are germs, why sprayed?” take Bi Momon seriously.

“Gosh. Better Aunt be quiet if you do not speak English,” said Mang Judas.

Bi Momon laughed at English. He recalled watching an English-language movie in the guest room.

“Already, Bi, Mang. I went upstairs first yes.” Memey said goodbye to Bi Momon and Mang Judas.

“Iya, Neng. Thank you, yes.” Bi Momon smiled warmly at Memey. “Oh yes, whose name is Neng?”

“My name is Memey Welandi, Bi.” Memey.

“As no stranger to its name. You're an artist, huh?” tanya Bi Momon is spontaneous.

Bi Momon's question left Memey puzzled. How could he be an artist? It sounds like a cock crowing when it sings. Don't sing, just breathe, he thought. “Haha, Aunt. I'm not an artist,” Memey laughed. “Aunt must think I'm ImeyMey, huh?” terka Memey's.

“Haaa, there it is. Oh, so you're not an artist, are you, Neng?” Bi Momon laughed. “Simply his voice earlier was like a ship breaking like Bibi.”

“Hahah. Aunty if you like it right,” said Memey.

Mang Judas who heard that immediately rushed out of the dining table. If for a long time, it is certain that he will get tired of hearing Bi Momon's silliness. Mang Judas came back out, while Memey went upstairs to Agatha's room. While Bi Momon packed and cleaned up the leftovers and dirty dishes.
