Not Nackal, Nurul!
Meet with Tommy

Rico drove Nurul home in a polite manner.  Although he was newly known, Rico was a good friend according to Nurul.  Rico said goodbye to Aunt Lupita who greeted them at the door of the house.  As Rico promised, now he has delivered Nurul back safely.

Rico is home.  Aunt Lupita who saw Nurul's condition so uninspired, she also postponed the questions that were ready to be launched since hours ago.  Aunt Lupita knows where Nurul just went.  Nurul didn't really tell him about what kind of party he had with Rico.  And the questions that are no less important are the questions about Nurul's mission to Icha.

"You look exhausted, honey?  Do you want to prepare soup?" tawang Aunt Lupita.  "Thank you, Ma.  Nurul just needs a break now.  Sorry, Ma."  Aunt Lupita also sighed.  He could not force Nurul to talk to him at this moment.  "Yes already.  Rest, dear," said Aunt Lupita with a look of disappointment to Nurul.

Nurul went into the room.  He wanted to eliminate all his fatigue by flushing his body with warm water.

Nurul went into the bathroom, turned on the shower and set the water level hot.  Nurul also stayed naked to enjoy every drop of warm water that fell gently caressing her skin.  Skin that is so smooth, tight, brightly colored, and winding.  Her body was a beautiful twist that became the prey of any man who saw her.

Nurul was crying under the water.  He regrets the decision he made.  He was almost desecrated by strangers.  All is his own fault, surrender to just anyone in the hope that his affairs can be helped immediately.  Nurul should only need to be patient, he should be able to wait for Rico's friend to come even though it is not a certainty.

A sacrifice without success.  All of that made the night feel so long and heavy.  Nurul finished his bath after cleansing his body.  The smell of his body has been renewed.  The smell of fresh flowers all over his skin and the smell of mint in his hair relaxed his mind.  He then sanctified and then worshiped.

Nurul groaned over his words.  The crying wasn't as loud as it was.  He hopes to be released soon from this environment that beguiles him.  Suddenly a healthy mind appeared.  Nurul felt things weren't that bad.

This is a risk he must accept.  This is just the beginning.  Nurul is determined to be someone strong, he needs to deepen his role as an urban tough girl.  After all it has facilitated ease, wealth and everything that has never been obtained before.

Nurul ended the day without sleep at a time that was too late.  He was exhausted, both physically and mentally.  He stretched out his body, forcing his eyes closed, though he had to prepare himself to explain to Aunt Lupita the futility he was living in tonight.

The day changed.  "Yes, that's why you can't move on your own, honey.  You still need Mama!" aunty Lupita said after listening to what Nurul told her.  They were now sitting in the garden of the mansion with the shady morning sun.  Nurul deliberately chose this place to avoid Mr. Sudarsono.  He just wanted to talk to Aunt Lupita, not the arrogant guy.

"Emm, gini, gini.  This weekend Mama there is an invitation to the engagement party of her friend's child.  This party is a formal party, not a rich street party you went to last night.  We will prepare your debut there.  There you will get acquainted with the children of Mama's friends from honorable circles.  We will begin the search for Icha's existence through such people.  Because as far as Mama knows, Icha hang out with types like them," said Aunt Lupita.

Nurul also obeyed the words of Aunt Lupita.  Here only Aunt Lupita can be trusted, although not completely.  Because after all he is the brother of the arrogant man, Mr. Sudarsono.  Nurul can accept the kindness of Aunt Lupita who so far looks so.  Nurul remains ever vigilant.

Nurul studied well.  She is an intelligent woman who absorbs everything new like a dry sponge.  The teacher liked Nurul.  In addition to his bossy attitude, Nurul was always cheerful and never burdened with his lessons.

Time passed too.  Aunt Lupita invites Nurul back to her friend who as a stylist and make over it.  He was so surprised because now Nurul no longer uses the veil.  He can freely explore the style for Nurul's beauty.  With passion, friend Aunt Lupita dress Nurul wholeheartedly with a sense of belonging, such as dressing yourself.  The best thing he can do will be done.

The night came.  Nurul along with Aunt Lupita attend the engagement party of her friend's son in an elite settlement.  A mansion that reflects the luxury of its owner.

Nurul took Aunt Lupita like a little girl who should not be far from her mother.  On the other hand, at such a time Nurul's different attitude he showed steadily.  She is really graceful, looks smart with her beautiful eyes lit up, of course also with a beauty that attracts a lot of young people.

Nurul was allowed to separate from Aunt Lupita.  He was asked to find as many contacts as possible.  Although, not grandiose want to directly get a clue about the existence of Icha.  For Aunt Lupita, relationships are the path that can lead to the ease of many affairs.  Not with Nurul, in his mind he immediately sifted through the potential of people who might meet him with signs of Icha existence.

Beyond Nurul's expectations, a young man approached him.  It was the young man who clearly recognized a Nurul, santriwati from the other side of the area.  Nurul covered her rumbling feelings.  On one side it was his young man whom he had longed for.  It would be nice to see him, but not now. Do not let Nurul's disguise be uncovered now because of this young man. 

He is Tommy, the young man he accidentally met after the Tahfidz Qur'an event in Jember City.  He was a young man who met him one night.  The whole pleasure of one night so imprinted in Nurul's mind, maybe until anytime.  But, he was also a popular, rich, playboy youth, who must have been together with many beautiful women.  For Nurul, Tommy may have forgotten about it. That night didn't mean anything to Tommy, of course.

Nurul survives in a place still surrounded by his new friends.  He did not suddenly leave the place to avoid Tommy.  Nurul held back.  Avoiding Tommy might make him suspicious and re-recognize Nurul.

A wretched thing widened Nurul's eyes instantly, but he quickly covered them.  Nurul was acting no matter how much he could. 

Tommy just called her by that name. "Nurul."
