CRIMINGGGG....KRIEGGG.....KRINGGG
The sound of an alarm from the black cell phone rang out loud making his master wake up. Nadine woke up from her sleep, she felt malaaaaassss once to go to work today. He turned his body to the right, then to the left.
“duh, very lazy work,” shrewd Nadine voice her heart.
In the end he chose to MC back on the grounds of diarrhea. You slackers. Nadine hugged her pillow reluctantly to let go of the soft object. His fingers shrewdly danced over the screen of his phone. *Scroll up, scroll down*.
He sighed, he missed Arka. Without being told Nadine opened Arka's sosmes, looking at her from the phone screen, paying attention to her activities from the media. *Stalk is a good way if u want to see someone but you don’t let him know*.
Nadine's eyes stopped when reading Arka's status on her *facebook* page. The man made a wish, making Nadine curious about what the man was expecting.
“we are just planning. The rest God decides,”
More or less so sounds the top status that it*update*. Nadine noticed the sunrise photo that complemented that sentence. His finger shifted the screen up, he wanted to see what Arka had posted earlier to answer the intent of the status.
“wah!” nadine's reflexes were flabbergasted at the status of the Arka that had changed
Relationship: Engaged with Clarissa
Nadine's eyes seemed focused, zooming many times the word “ENGAGED” which is listed very clearly there.
“wah crazy ni people, break up the same month I've just chatted with another fiancee, wow..” comments Nadine shocked.
Nadine shifted her phone screen again. He saw 2 more posts there. There was a post of her mother and sister marking Arka. Nadine noticed one by one the photo posts.
The photos spread that Arka's parents had proposed to Clarissa, complete with relatives, luggage and a wedding ring that Clarissa showed with a smile on her face. Nadine is envious of Clarissa, she is not envious because Arka proposed to her, but Nadine is envious of the proposal that Clarissa can. ‘gue also wanted to be proposed.’ her little screams.
But surprisingly, Nadine did not feel disappointed, upset or angry. He was relieved that Arka chose Clarissa, not him. So Nadine doesn't have to care anymore about Arka or think about whether Arka still has a taste with her or not, or whether Arka will come back to her or not.
Nadine was relieved that she did not have to worry about it, it was clear that Arka was engaged to Clarissa.
Nadine knows that Arka is planning to get married this year. That day Nadine was confused, if she was still in contact with Arka, the possibility of them getting married. And that means, Nadine will delay her *study* again. Nadine felt grateful for having parted with Arka before her heart fell deeper and their feelings were more complicated than now.
But something made Nadine very uncomfortable. That is, Arka's attention to him. The arc remains the same as it used to be, only Nadine keeps moving away. Arka still often contact him, well not one Arka too. Because guests won't come in if the host doesn't open the door, right?
He felt the need to say congratulations on the engagement of his ex-girlfriend. But Nadine is still a Nadine, she has incredible prestige. Nadine chose to convey it in the status of whatapp that she had arranged only Arka could see it.
“Congratulations on your achievements,
You finally got a target for this year,
I'm in happy”
Nadine wrote poetically. He put down his phone and got up from the bed, he had to take a shower and go to the clinic to ask for an MC letter, yes with a strange reason. Diarrhea.
BRAK!!!
Nadine's bedroom door opened violently making Nadine jump out of her bed, almost making her fall slips when Julia's apartment friend ‘ broke her bedroom door with bars.
“ya Allah shocked the cave.what the fuck, early in the morning already ragged to people's room,” protest Nadine to Julia who just came home from work, because Julia did enter the night for this week.
“NADINEEEEEEE!!!!!” yells Julia excitedly echoed in her room, Nadine instantly closed her ears because of Julia's voice, which she said,
“what? What was? What?!” Nadine raised her voice to Julia.
“lu should know Nadine, you should know... you will shock gua guarantee...” said Julia was beheaded so excited. Made Nadine look at him in wonder waiting for an explanation.
“Arka Nad, Czech..” Julia grabbed Nadine's arm and shook her irregularly.
“WOI! Relax buk...” Nadine anxiously releases Julia's grip.
“pull your breath first, calm down.By the obvious,” said Nadine lead Julia to take a calming breath of a troubled Julia.
“oke, what? Arka why?” nadine asked for an explanation after Julia was more relaxed.
“lu tau ga? Arka fiancee same girl?!” Julia said quickly making Nadine speechless,
“already know, keep?” nadine's easygoing answer was getting Julia's screech as if she couldn't believe Nadine would be this relaxed.
“kok keep on anyway?! This news has been great from malem tau ga?” julia protest.
“engga, my guy just found out from his fb Arka,” Nadine said very casually.
Julia was astonished by Nadine's reaction. Though he had thought that Nadine would definitely be in a heavy shock, scream or cry and would be upset for a few days. But in fact, Nadine only gave a makeshift reaction.
“lu not angry then?” insist Julia
“gak”
“keel that?”
“engk.”
“disappointed?
“engaged,”
“sad to,”
“engk.”
“ga no other words what other than ‘enggak’?”
“GAK ADA!” nadine's assertiveness made Julia round her eyes in disbelief, only yesterday - yesterday Nadine was very upset with the breakdown of their relationship, now knowing Arka was engaged she was mediocre.
“serious lu?” Julia was still making sure, she had her eyes fixed in disbelief, just like that,
“iya... ah well, lu rese ye early in the morning.there your shower, the smell of asem, back and forth already raging in ogut room,” expel Nadine.
“eh lu this hour has not yet taken a shower, ga your working intention?” Julia just realized that Nadine is still wearing pajamas, Nadine should now be ready to go to work.
“gak, I have no working mood,” said Nadine origin, said,
“buset your style, it is thought that the company has your ancestor, the base of the males. There is no working mood or state of marriage left the same ex..” seductive Julia, Julia,
“brisik you,” sewot Nadine,
“hahaha the most beautiful ex wants to marry each other, be patient yes..” seductive Julia satisfied, she immediately left before Nadine's tantrums.
Nadine grunted in annoyance. He rattled his hair.
“still early in the morning, still early in the morning, I laper belom breakfast, I eat also you..” annoyed Nadine.

Mondays...
Where everyone is complaining today. But for Nadine, every day is the same. As usual, he went to work, had breakfast and was preparing to start his work this morning, and he put his bag in his locker. Stand by from 10 minutes before working hours.
“ooohhhh nice yes, after dapet SP continue to license pain, why? is sulking huh?” it was Goda Johan who saw Nadine sitting down while playing her phone.
“ehehe...ga so also times, I am sick again,” bela Nadine.
“aaallaahhhh aja,” Johan stroking away.
Nadine looked at Johan in surprise, and returned with her phone. The phone was on, a message came in.
From: HRA office
‘Assalam Nadine, later noon after midday break, please come to HRA.” office
Nadine was silent. ‘wah, what's wrong with me? Still morning ah well,’ inner Nadine began to worry. He didn't reply to the message because the bell rang.
After *briefing* morning, they returned to their respective positions. Nadine was busy putting together the stuff in her place. Before long David approached him, as in previous days, David came to see the goods in Nadine's place. David started counting the items from all the models he would drop to Nadine's place all day.
David is Arka's older brother. But Nadine and David are not very familiar. Sometimes David teases her by calling her ‘adik-in-law’ making Nadine smile amusedly. For him Arka and David have very different properties. Arka is so calm and quiet, while David is more active and noisy.
“why you? Just seen a cute chick?” nadine joked.
“dih pede very lu,” sneer David.
“terus? Lu see I'm rich there ‘what-what-e’,” said Nadine suspiciously. David looked at Nadine with a worried look.
“lu gapapa?” ask David.
“no, why me?”
“serious lu gapapa?” repeated,
“not papa,”
“boner gapapa?” ask David again.
“lu which is why?” Nadine asked back, David shook his head slowly, just kept going. Nadine is confused by david's behavior.
“what the heck, the base is not clear,” Nadine back to do her job.
Actually David felt sorry and worried about Nadine, because he knew that Nadine had just broken up with Arka. But shortly after, Arka was engaged to Clarissa. He felt sympathy for Nadine. But seeing the response that is still ‘galak’ seems like the girl is fine, she was worried if Nadine was sad because of her sister.
***
The lunch break has sounded. All employees stopped their activities and immediately headed to the cafeteria. Nadine came out the back door of the building because it was the closest door to her to the cafeteria.
His eyes glanced towards the front door, he was waiting for someone to come out from there. Before long a man walked through the door, one hand holding his hair tidying up a few strands of his hair that was a little messy. ‘nah it was him, Arka.’ Inner Nadine was satisfied to see Arka who was walking in front of her together towards the canteen.
Their gazes met, making Arka pause for a moment. But Nadine seemed not to see it, but she was the one who had been looking for the man since. They lined up to pick up the dishes and waited for their turn to pick up the food at*buffet*.
“ehem,” someone cleared his throat slowly right blocked by Nadine.
For a moment, the girl held her breath. Without even looking, I know who is behind it. But Nadine ignored him. His heart thumped as the tip of his eyes caught the figure of Arka waiting for him to finish taking the rice. Nadine licked her dry lips in nervousness.
Arka first passed Nadine and went straight to the drink. Nadine breathed a sigh of relief. He took the salad, his hand grabbed the salad spoon. Unfortunately at the same time a hand was also about to take a salad spoon, making the two hands collide, he said,
“eh, sorry.” Saying the two together, they reflexively looked at each other, making Nadine startled.
‘what the heck, rich drama,’ inner Nadine scowled to find Arka was also about to take a salad just like her.
*For your information*, Arka and Nadine do have the same appetite. Even Nadine was astonished by the way Arka ate the same as herself, always picky food.
“please,” said Arka pulled her hand, let Nadine take the salad first. Without a word Nadine immediately took the salad and immediately left without even looking at Arka.
Nadine sat far from where Arka was sitting, but the position of those facing her made her inevitably able to be seen as well. Not without reason, Nadine was deliberately sitting facing Arka. For some reason, this girl had a very high prestige. If in front of the eyes he will compete as if there is nothing, but when far away, he himself is looking.
Another Nadine, another with Arka. Arka more relaxed with this situation.if there in front of the eyes he will remain friendly, greeting as usual. But if it's far away, I don't know what he's doing. Nadine sighed, she glanced at Arka occasionally.
Arka is very friendly, and this hospitality often makes his female colleagues misunderstand thinking there is another purpose besides manners. But Nadine knows Arka, suave like that is normal for her, but if an Arka always comes up to her, it's new that Nadine calls there ‘something else’.
That's what Nadine wants to make sure. Will Arka still continue to approach him after the breakdown of their relationship? And after Arka got engaged? Nadine hoped that the man would immediately kneel down apologizing to her for his treatment.
‘*will he feel fine after hurting someone else? Don't dream*!’
Nadine glanced at Arka again, but unfortunately this time Arka was also glancing at him, making their eyes meet. Nadine immediately choked so shocked, she immediately drank to make friends around her look at her.
Arka smiled amusedly at seeing Nadine. To be honest he was the same as well, quietly watching Nadine with the tail of her eyes.
Nadine finished her meal early because she remembered that HRA wanted to meet her at the office. His mind began to fantasize, is this related to SP the other day? Or because he is too often MC?
He squeezed his fingers before pressing the HRA bell. Breathe out to neutralize his expression. Nadine pressed the bell, nobody opened the door. He waited for a moment, then pressed the bell again. Not yet had he pressed, someone opened the door making Nadine jump in shock.
“Astagfirullah...” he said in shock while stroking the chest.
“oh, hi Nadine, come in already awaited Mother Mira inside,” said a middle-aged person who is none other than Nuri, he came out of the room and passed Nadine who was still pecking on the spot.
After Nuri left, Nadine immediately entered. He saw Mira's mother, the head of the HRA and some of his female colleagues there. Mira immediately told Nadine to sit on an empty chair and indeed only for herself.
“oke. Everyone is here, right away. Assalamu’laikum wr.wb. today I call all of you with the aim to fill the evening dinner later on March 16th. We're going to make a dance project in the form of a group, and coincidence as we know it. Last year Nadine had a very successful solo dance performance. So I ask for your participation, but this is not a necessity. If you think you want to come, now fill out the form and collected again to the respective leader no later than tomorrow afternoon.” Mira's explanation at length, he looked at one by one people in the room.
“ada questions?” ask Mira.
“we will do a dance What for the show?” a tall girl at the other end asked,
“we will do the group dance in unison, so you do not have to worry because we will choose a light-light movement. And if Nadine is willing, it could be a choreographer or a coach to help other friends,” Mira's speech makes Nadine as if he was presented with a gun on his head, Nadine stuttered.
“eerr, anu bu, can I think about it first?” nadine said she objected,
“oh of course, this is just a call to participate in filling out the event, so there is no need.” Mira's reply made Nadine relieved.
“oke because the break is almost over, please think about it and fill out this form for those who are interested, or you can offer it to other colleagues.” Mira handed out a piece of paper to everyone present.
Along the way back to Nadine's place of work, he did not stop thinking about what answers he would give tomorrow to fill out this form.
Last year was a year of pride for Nadine. Because he had made everyone present at the *dinner* show was amazed by the appearance of his dance that made people surprised, a quiet Nadine turned out to have *talent* it is so epic in dancing.
From that day on, Nadine became famous in her company. Not infrequently people who give him compliments, or just tease him tell him to dance. Uncontained Archa. Since that day he was so interested in the figure of Nadine who he thought was very unique.
When Nadine stepped off the stage, Arka's eyes could not be separated to look at Nadine who appeared like a Korean artist. She looks so beautiful and different. Totally different. Makes Arka unable to forget that night.
Last year was last year, and this year we started to worry. Nadine intends to wear the hijab for this year.he no longer wants to be a spectacle. Because being a performer like that is quite tiring with the training schedule and some of its preparation, making Nadine reluctant to take care of such things.
Last year was enough for him.
Nadine is very upset now and she vents her feelings on whatapp status. His fingers nimble moving motion above the screen of his phone. Typing something there.
How is this, how is it,,,,,,, aihh,,.. ahgddydgwidgfasdfhldsfbffywe.
I'm a T.T
Nadine wrote with the anxiety of her heart. There was a slight feeling of wanting him to feel the sensation on stage again like last year. But he felt reluctant about the preparation and training he would undergo, because it would certainly take time and drain his energy. Especially for this year Nadine only wants to look graceful with her hijab.
A few minutes after she wrote the status, Nadine kept daydreaming staring at the form. He was confused as to what this paper should be.
Drrr....
Nadine's phone vibrated, a message coming in on her screen. Nadine shifted the lock screen, before long she was surprised by the message, especially to the sender.
From: Arka
‘ada what? Why is your status like that? Any problems?’
