The atmosphere in the living room was tense, shortly before Nia explained to Ushi, Ikbal's mother, why she could come to deal with a Reskrim Police. Nia who did not expect to be tried by Ushi was forced to tell everything, even though the story that has been added this spice. Indeed, Nia could not bear to lie to Ushi, but what could be done, the situation did not allow him to tell the truth.
“ .... Good thing you're the same Vina can run away. But you're okay, right? Any injuries?” Ushi suddenly moved up and sat down beside Nia.
Nia shook her head while smiling forcefully. “Nothing, Aunt. Just still surprised anyway until now.”
“Why new story now anyway?”
Nia again smiled forcibly in response to the flap-haired woman.
“So the police who today came to the school that nolongin you same Vina fit chased by Full Man?” ask Ushi again.
“Iya. So the intention of the future of Mr. Bastian is only for my mastiin as Vina well da-”
“Terus why only you called Kepsek? And why are you the only one with permission to turn back?” Ikbal interrupted Nia without stopping her activities playing Fruit Ninja games.
“That's it, new Auntie wants it. Why just you?”
“Color that time I asked for help with Mr. Bastian, Tan. So I accidentally hit Mr. Bastian and he suddenly went straight to it,” replied Nia.
Ushi nodded in response to Nia, while Ikbal, looked at Nia with a very clear gaze saying, Gua tau lu ngibul!
“Sorry I made Aunt worry.”
Ushi rubbed Nia's head while smiling. “But tomorrow again if there is anything direct same story Aunt yes?”
“Iya.”
“Keep aside you don't have to toy dating apps anymore. The danger of fraud mode is a lot through online. Still mending if the material is cheated, what honor? Kan ...”
Wejangan Ushi who is now waiting in line to enter both ears Nia, making him feel even more unbearable. The woman who had been considered like her own biological mother looked very sincere to give Nia something. Even anyone who saw Ushi's worry on Nia now, would never have thought if it turned out that they didn't have the slightest blood relation.
“ .... Try to find other positive entertainment if you join really. Or do you want to take a Korean language course? You like Korea. Or ku-”
“No need, Tan. Seriously no need,” interrupted Nia while stealing a glance at Ikbal who is now glaring at her. “Tante knows I haven't found my passion.”
“Yaudah that way. But directly say Auntie yes if later you have found your passion where.”
“Iya, Tan. Thanks yes,” replied Nia.
Ushi replied to Nia with a hug. “Today we eat malem outside yuk? Tomorrow's the red date. What about a chicken pecel deket station? Keep abis it we walk to the market malem.”
Nia nods to Ushi, and Ikbal.
“Yaudah change clothes directly to the car yes. Do not forget to use aut*n keep washing hands,” added Ushi as it passed.
Nia reflex sighed, relieved that the gripping trial could finally end with peace following the chicken pecel. Even so there is always something to be improved post-trial, right? And in the trial of Nia, it was Ikbal's foresight that had to be corrected, or even abolished. Shortly after Ushi disappeared from behind the door of her room, Ikbal immediately approached Nia with impatient steps.
“Gua will find evidence and report you to Mother because the cave tau lu ngibul,” whispered Ikbal to Nia.
“Laporin aja. I was ngibul tuh. So why? Don't like it?”
“Idih shameless da-”
“But before you can report, I will send this to Aunt.” Nia showed something on her phone screen.
Both of Ikbal's round eyes are getting rounder, more and more, shortly after realizing something in front of his eyes it turned out to be a portrait of himself and the ex-lover who was kissing affectionately in the parking lot of the school that had long been unused. Spontaneous Ikbal was about to seize Nia's phone, but Nia nimbly put her phone in her underwear and avoid chasing Ikbal.
“Brenti lu. Heh,” shouted Ikbal.
Ikbal turned around to look for the whereabouts of Nia who had just run out of the house, while swapping her upturned sandals. While looking for Ikbal, it was hiding behind an electric pole while laughing at his panic. Ikbal who faintly heard Nia's laughter turned his head and immediately found the existence of the girl with cherry blossom-patterned pajamas.
Nia, shocked by Ikbal's sudden arrival, rushes back to the right in search of a new hiding place. But damn, Nia fell stranded after accidentally bumping into something very hard. Instead of an electric pole, it turned out that the one Nia had just hit was a human. Yeah, humans. Exactly human type of man who super duper good looking.
“What's wrong?”
Nia gawked, ignoring the man's helping hand.
“Can stand?” ask that guy again.
Nia is still faithful to gawk, and still faithful to look at the man like Captain America in the Infinity War Avengers series.
“Mau sa—“
“Sorry, Brother.”
“Nothing. But next time ati-ati. Good thing that hit you me, if the motorbike or car how?”
“Benur tuh, Brother. His brain likes not to be made,” reply Ikbal to the tall man.
“Street with eyes instead of using the brain.”
Spontaneously the man laughed, followed by Ikbal who also laughed despite being forced. While Nia, silent, because she felt familiar with the voice of the man who was like wearing the red lipstick. Until the man resigned to retreat even Nia still silently looked at him. The man's voice was very similar to that of Duplicate L. K.'s even though Nia had never heard him laugh. There was some kind of conviction, but that belief instantly faded away after Nia saw the man she hit welcoming a woman across with a friendly embrace.
“Emang who has a sexy voice just Duplicate L.K?”
“Hah? Who is sexy? Dupils? Upils? Dupil what is upil?”
Nia looked lazily at Ikbal. “Iya. Lu upilnya.”
Ikbal did not answer, just put up the horses like a bull that was ready to plough a bright red cloth deliberately pierced by the matador. But strangely Nia did not immediately save herself, even by casually opening the instagr*m application, then starting live after previously inviting Ikbal's ex-lover to join. And the chase continues. Meanwhile across, the man Nia hit looked uncomfortable looking at her and Ikbal.
“Za, spout dong. Your child has drooled really want mukbang pecel chicken. The station passes through here, right? This is not a complex?”
...•▪•▪•▪•▪•...
The chicken pecel tent looked crowded. The buyers not only queue behind other buyers who are eating their food, but also eagerly queue around the giant pan. Just natural. Although only selling one menu of food and drinks, chicken pecel better known by the name of the station chicken pecel is almost always ludes in just two hours.
Maybe no one would believe it if not to witness the scenery in the chicken pecel tent. But really, many buyers who bring folding camping chairs. Nia included. The beautiful girl with white cutbray pants and matching colored T-shirts was looking around, looking for a stall to hold her folding camping chair. When Nia was in focus, Ikbal suddenly pointed at something.
"That wasn't the big brother?"
"Who? You know, Bal?" Ushi asked Ikbal.
"That's the big brother that this brat hit earlier." Ikbal pointed at Nia.
Spontaneous Ushi shouted, "Oh my goodness. You get hit? There must be some injuries. We're going to the se– hospital"
"I'm okay, Auntie. It was not a motorcycle or car collision anyway," Nia interrupted while holding Ushi's hand.
"What's wrong? The one whose name was hit is definitely why-wash. Ma–"
"Mom. Ikbal means, Ikbal got hit. Keep him nolongin' Ikbal." Ikbal pointed at Nia again.
Ushi heaved a sigh of relief. "You're so sure it's okay. Jatoh from the tree is not crying even play badminton. But how did you get hit?"
"Due, Mom."
"What habits? You guys any more snatches?"
"Well, Mom. Let's sit there. There is an empty box. Hunts are brushed by people" Ikbal replied.
While embracing her mother, Ikbal threatens Nia through a gaze, asking Nia to keep her mouth shut for life. Nia just put on a sneaky face, and of course Ikbal understood exactly what he meant. Right, from tonight Ikbal officially becomes a jongos! Nia gets a seat quite far from the chicken pecel tent, and without Nia noticing, her online date, Duplicate L.K, is also there.
LK: Hi, Kaoru.
KAO :😒
LK : Haha.
KAO: typing…
LK: I don't have an answer.
KAO: I want to wash my hands to eat.
LK: Same.
KAO: typing…
LK: send pictures
Spontaneous Nia moved, then turned her head to every corner. How not? The image of the food that was just sent Duplicate L. K. is exactly the same as the appearance of the chicken pecel which is now being served by a young servant. While Nia was busy looking for her whereabouts, Duplicate L. K. who apparently sat not far from Nia was even engrossed in biting her chicken thighs that were still steaming.
LK: Have a good dinner, Kaoru.
