There is no woman who does not want happiness in the home. Especially Nina, who was born and raised in a broken home family, hopes to find happiness with her own little family.
" One day if you are an adult, choose a man who really loves you. To make your life so much better than it is now." Say Grandma.
" Yes nek."
" Yes, let's eat."
That night, Nina had dinner with her grandmother with side dishes.
Nina who was still sitting on the Junior High School bench, just responded to her grandmother's words with a yes and nodded. Because he still doesn't know anything about choosing the right and right man.
" Grandpa, I'm going to school first." Nina said, Grandfather just nodded and gave Nina a piece of money worth 2,000.
" This is the cake basket, and don't forget to ask for the cake money yesterday." Say Grandma.
" Good grandma."
Every day, every day to go to school Nina always brought a kowe basket and delivered it to the market. the market and school direction makes Nina not shy to bring the cake from home and deliver it to the market before finally to school.
" Beware, mama will pick you up."
" Yes ma."
Cup
A mother is seen kissing her son's cheek.
" It's been there, study hard ya."
The boy smiled and nodded before finally waving his hand and entering the school grounds.
Nina who happened to be there and saw the incident became very sad, her chest felt tight. He really wanted to be in that kid's position. But whatever the power, Nina knows her parents but never knows what it's like to live with her parents.
" Nina, what's here? come on in." Ika's words surprised Nina.
" Come"
In the classroom, Nina was more silent. Because he did not know what to share if chatting together with his friends.
On average, his friend discussed about family activities or about TV shows that he did not even know what it was. Because at home that interest in living in there is no television.
" Eh canteen yuk, I feel his team is quite quiet now." Said LuLuk, Nina's friend.
" No ah, you guys. I don't have the money to buy snacks." Nina's Speech.
" Come on, today I was given more sangu money. So I'll be the one to deal with."
" Strong."
Nina was so happy that the three of them walked to the cafeteria.
Nina had no idea that the jungle was watching Nina's movements.
" Nina, will you be home in the afternoon?. We're studying with yuk's group." Ika.
" Certainly, I would definitely be happy if we studied together so I wouldn't feel lonely at home." Nina's Speech.
" Can I come?" Rimba said that suddenly came.
" Cie cie.."
Ika and Luluk tease Nina, who does not know the story of Rimba and Nina. Rimba who liked Nina so much but did not get a good reply from Nina.
I don't know, Nina just feels embarrassed or maybe inferior if her class friends tease her and Rimba.
Nina did not know, and would never have thought that it was the Jungle that was always faithful to listen to her complaints about life.
If you remember, the events in the days of Nina Middle School are very embarrassing. Where Nina always tried to avoid the jungle, but sometimes also tried to steal his attention. But Nina and Rimba are both unwilling to admit their feelings.
Until graduation, somehow the story but this na completely lost contact with the jungle.
And Nina also forgets when the last time she started, but Nina and Rimba have returned to communication.
Even after graduating from High School. Rimba often takes Nina for a walk. Although just hanging out at the cafe or copying movies in the cafe, it takes place after one year of their graduation. Rimba who is already in the final semester of his college level. Nina still has no job.
" Nina, do you want to come to see my campus?. I have a campus schedule today. If you want to come, I'll pick you up in an hour."
" Can?" Nina said excitedly as Rimba called and said she would take her to campus.
" Sure, so you can feel how to be a college kid for 1 day."
" Can."
" Yes, get ready then I'll pick you up in an hour and then we'll leave soon, oh yeah don't forget to bring a laptop I'll take you to pick up a movie that's in the cafe."
" okay."
After the call ended, Nina immediately packed a laptop and also some makeup tools that she might need later.
On the way to the Rimba campus which is about 1 hour away from Nina's house, they joke around with each other laughing and also exchanging stories. Until the moment they arrived at the Rimba campus, Nina refused when Rimba invited her to class. Because Nina was afraid of being discovered by a lecturer under Nina was not a student from the campus.
" I'll just wait for you outside." Nina's Speech.
" No, if you don't want to come in I'll take you to my boarding house, so you can rest while watching a movie on my laptop, how?"
" But I'm scared."
" All right."
Rimba finally returns to tell Nina to her boarding house, after making sure Nina will be okay Rinda then leaves as her class schedule is about to begin.
Two hours later, Nina is shocked by the arrival of the Jungle.
" I'm sorry, it's been making you wait too long."
" It's okay."
" Go wash your face then we'll have lunch and go to the cafe as I promised." Rimba.
" okay."
They then returned to driving and stopped for a while at a simple restaurant. After that, the sewage directly forwarded his motorbike to the cafe where there were many films.
" It's a good song, if I listen to this song I feel like I'm in that song." Rimba said as she and Nina had gotten an empty table, and Rimba was seen using earphones listening to a song.
" Really?, what's the title of the song?"
" Just give me a reason." Said Rimba while putting the earphones on Nina.
" Hmm, the song's great."
" Such Like our story." Lirih Rimba, Nina is in her arms but she pretends not to hear.
An hour passed, after being satisfied to copy the film. Rimba invites Nina to rest at her aunt's house. In the afternoon, after they finished bathing, Rimba invited Nina to enjoy the afternoon view on the hill Rembangan.
" Rimb, I think maybe our destiny is like this." Nina said as they were enjoying the view of the city on the mountain.
The breeze made the mood of the two become very calm and it seemed like the right time to talk about the future.
" What do you mean?"
" Yes look at us. What are we?, man? a pal? neither is the lover. Sometimes we look like brothers when we encourage each other. Sometimes we look like friends. Sometimes they look like lovers. However, we can say each other's feelings always at the wrong time."
Nina was silent, closing her eyes and letting a gust of wind blow her face. Nina still remembers what happened back then, when Rimba expressed her feelings when Nina was with Yongki. And long before that Nina also once expressed her feelings to Rimba, and that Jungle already had a lover.
" But at least I'm happy because I know that you love me too, just like I love you."
Nina smiled and looked at Rimba.
" You know, maybe it's our destiny to be like this and stay like this. We love each other but God does not want us to be together. And I also don't want to lose a figure like you, you're the only one who can understand me more than anyone."
" Nina, but I hope someday I can, no we can be together."
" The jungle, I wouldn't have the heart to see a diamond hurt. I know he loves you very much. So I beg you to keep him and be happy."
" But what about you?" Rimba.
" I?, I'll be fine. You just need to help pray for me so that I too will find someone who loves me so much as a diamond who loves you."
Rimba looked at Nina.
" Tomorrow I will be training in Surabaya for 3 months."
Nina stared at Rimba, the two of them long enough to stare at each other before finally returning to the cityscape, where the lights of the house and the street lights began to live.
Nina looked at Rimba's face intently.
" Why do you feel sad then?, shouldn't you be happy because your college will soon be finished."
" Don't you feel my sadness?, 3 months. That means I won't see you."
" Ck, the jungle time of 3 months is very short. Trust me after this we will definitely be able to meet."
" Hmm, uh,"
Rimba was silent, Nina smiled and stroked Rimba's shoulder.
" Can I sleep on your shoulder?" Ask Rimba. Nina looked at Rimba before she finally smiled and nodded.
Nina closed her eyes, and maybe Rimba did the same.
Two people who really love each other, but never a couple.
Maybe fate didn't want them to be together.
...Flashback...
Nina always cried, remembering her story with the Jungle. Sometimes it was in Nina's mind to record her story with the Jungle. But it takes a quiet and relaxed time to be able to recall his story with the Jungle.
Hopefully one day Nina's desire to write her story with Rimba can be achieved.
" If I could turn back time, maybe I'd go back in time when I had to know love. So that I can fix everything. And don't get caught up in a marriage that feels empty." Lirih Nina in the third of her night.
" Lord, grant me abundant patience and fortitude. So I'm a strong person in the face of every ordeal you give, I believe there will be light in the dark. And I'm sure there'll be a glimmer of happiness that I'll get today." Nina Imbuh
