...46...

Nolan ignored some calls on his phone. This time, he was in a room lined with large tables with balls and sticks. His mind was stifled, and fatigue attacked his body in droves. Actually he misses the streets, he really wants to race to unwind all this fatigue in his heart. But considering Caca's words, he undoes his intentions and chooses to come to the billiard place to comfort the heart.

Cigarette smoke billowed into the room and made the room feel like a burning place that required quick fireman handling. Nolan did not escape from the nicotine. He even nearly finished a pack of twenty-fill Marlboro black filters in two hours. Crazy, this was the worst record of him burning his own lungs.

Again, his phone vibrated in his pants pocket. Mang Maman's name appeared there.

Giving up, Nolan finally answered the call. He took himself away from his original place to speak.

“Hmm.” Nolan legit cold.

“Young master, mr. siuman.” said bi Ane was so happy across the phone. The one who called Maman, but the one who spoke bi Ane.

“I'll be there soon.”

Without saying goodbye, Nolan immediately ran out of the billiard arena and headed for his motorcycle parking lot. He could not wait to see his father smile and embrace him. I swear, Nolan misses his papa so much, even the problem that had made his head dizzy, disappeared just like that when he heard his papa was conscious after several days of not opening his eyes at all.

The door of the room creaked, and Nolan could clearly see that his papa was sitting leaning with bi Ane who was feeding the porridge.

Netra Nolan trembled. He was so afraid of losing his papa, but the fear was unreasonable, his papa would definitely be fine and stay with him until he grew up and understood the meaning of real life later.

“Come here, son.” call Hendra, then spread out his hands.

Nolan walked with a sad look towards the father, welcomed the embrace and tightened his circle of hands on the body of the father who looked thinner.

“Why didn't papa tell me that papa was sick?”

“Papa don't want you to worry. After all, papa is fine, just exhausted.”

“No, papa is not okay.” break up Nolan in a slightly high voice without taking off his embrace on Hendra. “I'm scared because papa sleeps long.”

Hendra knew the fear of what his son was saying. Hendra patted Nolan on the back and carried the boy's burly body away from him. “Your body smells of cigarette smoke.” protest Hendra but not demand at all. He knows Nolan's habits and quirks that he can't stop. One of them is being an active smoker. “Go home and take a shower first. Papa wants to smell the fragrant smell of papa's son, not the smell of cigarette smoke like this.” mengakar Hendra is able to make Nolan laugh.

“Good. Nolan went home for a while to shower and change clothes.”

“Yes. Papa will wait for you to come while resting.”

Nolan smiled and got up to go home. He walked out of the room, and outside, bi Ane stopped Nolan's steps. No wonder, because Nolan could guess if his nanny was sure to tell a lot for his comfort.

Butno. Bi Ane stopped him from handing over a debit card that Caca had left to him.

“Friends den Nolan whose name is Caca, her beautiful and kind child was leaving this to aunt and asked aunt to give it to you.”

Nolan. He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out his phone, but he only remembered if he had deleted Caca's number. He cursed in the heart. How could he be this bad? How can he talk and be more ego?

“She said moreover, bi?”

Bi Ane seemed to remember what Caca said to her this afternoon.

“She said den Nolan should keep this card well and return it to the father if he is awake.” said Bi Ane who still looks like to say the other. “Ah, he also sends greetings to you.”

The day Nolan was happy to hear it, a smile spread across his lips.

“Then, emmm, he said what else?”

Nolan waited patiently. He is familiar with bi Ane who is like increasingly having trouble remembering too many things. It may also be due to the U factor.

“He also said what. Aunt forgot. The sentence is difficult. Not from our language. Like the language of the planet,”

Nolan immediately laughed in front of bi Ane for the cuteness made by the woman.

“Indeed the language of the planet like how, I remember aja deh.” joked Nolan but taken seriously by bi Ane.

“Yo, Yo, Yo what's it forget. Ada te amo te amo nya—”

“Yo tambien te amo?” asked Nolan with a flat face without expression. Bi Ane was sometimes astonished, this young master quickly changed his expression.

“Ah, yes. I think it was like.”

***

Nolan returned to the hospital after returning home to clean up and change his clothes. Don't forget he also brought his papa a new change of clothes.

He didn't sleep last night because he kept his tired-looking papa and fell asleep. And this afternoon, Nolan had an appointment with Jonathan to meet and discuss the donation issue his motorcycle club made next month.

“Gue can't come, Jo. Papa is sick.”

“OK. I told the commander.” Jonathan said as he took his cup and gulped the contents down to the toilet. Nolan says he can't see each other for too long because he has to go back to the hospital to look after his dad. “Papa Lo hurts what?”

“Sama kayak mama.”

Jonathan was astonished, the article, Hendra who he saw a few months back, can be said to be healthy and fine.

Jonathan patted Nolan on the shoulder giving him strength. “Hopefully bokap Lo cepet cured.”

Nolan nodded. “Thanks.”

Nolan's phone is shaking. He immediately saw and the name of the mang Maman was there.

“Mm, what's wrong mang?”

“D. Please come to the hospital. Mr. .. father ..”

“Papa why?” nolan asked still coldly.

“Father, return to the lap of the Power.”

Raga Nolan was separated from her soul. He already understood Maman's intentions, but somehow he just kept quiet like a fool waiting for another explanation to make him understand.

This is his biggest fear. The fear that these few days made him unable to calm down, and now it has become a reality.

Should he live alone? Why would my dad leave him alone like this?

Nolan's face that didn't show any expression, he froze, leaving Jonathan puzzled. Jonathan tries to resuscitate Nolan who looks dazed. Jonathan even shook Nolan's body to his senses, and succeeded. Nolan blinked slowly and turned to Jonathan.

“Lo why?” jonathan was still worried.

“Bokap does not exist, jo.” he said slowly, almost resembling a whisper. “Gue should how now?”

Surely Nolan was surprised not to play, because just a day ago, his papa looked healthy and fit as ever. But without Nolan realizing it, the papa was withstanding such a terrible pain. The old man tried to hold on, but lost.

“Gue should be how, Jo?” nolan asked, still with a blank look and a whispering voice. He did not cry, but his eyes were seen in a deep and painful grove of grief.

Jonathan stood up, pulling Nolan's body for him to hug. “Gue is sorry, Lan.”

After that, Jonathan drove Nolan home for fear of anything happening to his friend. Nolan looked devastated by Hendra's sudden departure.

***

The funeral home was filled with countless condolences. The flower arrangements lined up along the fence of the house bear witness if Hendra has really left.

The car that used to always ride Hendra when going anywhere, now drove Nolan back home.

Slender. Silent. There was no crying, and Nolan was alone.

All the memories of a happy family, his hatred for the papa. Laughter, warm hugs, jokes, quarrels, all flashed disturbing Nolan's composure and making him even more empty. Yeah, Nolan doesn't look like he does. He stared more straight and empty, not talking, or crying. All as if he could endure desperately for his life to go on as usual.

“Eat first, den.” said Bi Ane offers dinner for Nolan who has not eaten anything since noon.

“Not hungry, bi.”

Ane looked pityfully at Nolan. After all, this young man had been carrying and he had been taking care of since infancy.

“Eat first, later Aden hurts.”

“Iya, in a moment. Aunt just take a break. Later if I'm hungry, I take it myself.”

“Tapi—”

“Ngak nothing.” said Nolan, nodding allowing bi Ane to rest. Nolan was sure that the woman was also tired all day to accompany him to meet important guests of his papa.

Aspires,

Successors,

Now, does he have to make a decision? Papa's confidant said, if Hendra had prepared everything for Nolan. Even his own papa personal assistant will guide Nolan to become the successor of Hendra's successful business.

Hope ...

Perhaps this was one of his papa goals wanted Nolan to choose his ideals, and a successor was his final answer. The man hoped that Nolan would be willing to be someone useful.

Nolan looked back at his phone. He then grabbed it slowly, then tapped twice to activate. After that, he looked for contact with someone he needed to tell personally about the departure of the father, that person was Caca.

Nolan typed a short message for him.

I'm on behalf of Bokap, sorry if there's any wrong Lo.

Yes, in the end he got Caca's number back after asking Jonathan to ask Nanda for the number.

After the message was sent, Nolan put back his phone, then rubbed his face rough.

“Alright.” said Nolan along with a big breath blowing from his nose. “I will do my best to be the person papa wants me to be.” []
