Just A Professional Relationship
Episode Thirty
Five months have passed. Certainly not a short time, and it is not easy for Nadin to start a new life. He still had to go through the humiliating days of people who still could not shake his disappointment. The internet is still sometimes crowded with his name, which is no longer anyone.
Nadin now lives in a modest house he bought on the edge of the capital. Quiet and not too crowded area. But it is still easy if at any time you have to go to the city.
His savings are still enough to finance his daily life, but Nadin still works as a private music teacher. It is not easy to find students, while his name is still being touched on by the media. But, at least he already had two permanent disciples by now.
Nadin's own mother was no longer able to move freely. To walk must be very careful not to fall. The worried Nadin still took his mother to check her health periodically to the hospital.
“Huwaa..” Nadin raised both hands into the air to stretch his muscles. Then sit on a bench on the side of the road. Look at the streets that are not so crowded, while enjoying the snacks.
“Wah, power rangers are finally complete again,” murmured when he saw the poster Hybrid with a new member— replacement Axel. Then he laughed a little.
Over the past month, Nadin's feelings have been much better. He was no longer bothered by the news or gossip on the internet. He used to cry to his mother every time he read people's writings. But now, he was much stronger. Or, more accurately, try not to care.
His relationship with Tyo and Ramos is still well established. They often chat over the phone, and sometimes visit Nadin's house. While Juna, completely disappeared. There was only news that she continued her career as a model in Japan.
Among all that, what is still a question is, somehow Axel never contacted him at all. Ramos gave him Nadin's number.
Nadin sent a message first. But it hasn't been avenged until now. Even the last message he just sent this morning. At least he wanted to meet to apologize.
“Hai, alone aja.” The appearance of a man surprised Nadin. That person suddenly just sat next to him, very close. Nadin spontaneously backed down while only smiling awkwardly.
As he was about to stand up and leave, there was another man standing in his way. “Excuse me,” said Nadin. But he was blocked.
“Where are you going? Kan, I just came,” said the sitting man. He also got up.
Nadin was starting to feel uncomfortable. It turned out that being in such a deserted area actually made him unable to escape into the crowd.
Nadin also tried to walk sideways, and stepped quickly. But the two roaring-faced men were still heard chatting behind him. They follow wherever he goes.
Nadin wants to go home. But he thought it would be even worse if those people found out about his house. So, he will head to the nearest police station, even though the distance is still about one kilometer.
After walking far enough, Nadin was increasingly convinced that the two people were still following him. It made him start to sweat cold and worry. But he never found anyone who seemed to be able to help.
Until suddenly, the two men walked very fast and pushed his body into a quiet alley. Nadin was dragged and his mouth smothered before he could scream. Then he was pushed to the level of a pile of garbage bags.
The two men looked at him with disgusting looks. While grinning creepily.
“I think I know who you are.”
“You like to appear on that tv, right?”
“Oh yes, which at that time he said cheated on his girlfriend. Yes.. that one.”
“Mau dong so your affair is also.”
When a man tried to grip his arm, Nadin hit the man in the face with his bag. Then he got up and tried to run. Unfortunately, he's not fast. The man's hand first grabbed the back of his shirt.
“Please!”
“If you want congratulations, come with us.”
“Yang there will not be survived,” sahut voice someone who immediately made the two thugs turn their heads.
Nadin felt familiar with the voice, but he still could not look back.
Shortly afterwards, there was the sound of a fight and screams of pain from one of the thugs. Then, followed by the voice of the man who smothered Nadin— who was pulled by the mysterious person strongly.
Nadin staggered back, but he could still resist falling. While turning around, he caught the presence of someone there. “Axel!” fun.
“Do not try to disturb him again!” said the former Hybrid member to two men who ran away.
Axel turned around, smiling at Nadin who immediately ran to hug him.
“Gosh! Where have you been all this time?! Why is my chat never answered?”
“This replied. Directly in front of his person.”
“Udah so, suddenly appeared anyway.”
“I have already followed you, anyway. But don't know why you are so afraid of dying..”.
“Hah?” Nadin laughed too. Feeling disbelief, as well as funny to hear Axel's strange answer.
He was very happy to be reunited with his friend, although now his appearance has changed quite drastically.
Axel, who was previously a disheveled brunette, wore a ripped jeans suit and a leather jacket, and had a very face.
But the figure in front of Nadin is now styling his hair brown neatly, dressed casual like a normal man, with jeans—not torn, and a muffled sleeve t-shirt. His face was softer than usual. And his carrier, much calmer. The body is much more contained, because it may be a lot of exercise.
“You changed a lot yes,” said Nadin.
“You yourself why hasn't it changed much?” reply Axel. “But, I like your new hair.”
Nadin had just cut his favorite hair. All this time she always liked to lengthen her beautiful wavy hair. But, whether mythical or true, she felt her burden reduced a lot after cutting her hair.
After a moment of chatter, Nadin suddenly remembered something. He realized that he had not had time to apologize to Axel who was much bothered by him.
“Xel. But, from the first I want to contact you to apologize.”
“Apologies for what?”
“Create everything. I feel like I've had a lot of repotin. Until involved in the middle of my personal problems.”
Axel only laughed a little, but Nadin looked moody. He grabbed the woman's hand and walked faster. “Instead of talking about the past, we better discuss the exciting-seruja, how?” he said, while heading towards the parked motorbike.
Nadin began to show his sweet smile again. And said with great enthusiasm. “Agree!”
