Not Nackal, Nurul!
Rudi's Help Finds Tommy and Nurul

One night in the student senate room on campus.

“So, the results of the evaluation earlier do not forget to enter the AD/ART evidence ledger before being forwarded to the dean who wants to help us it. “ said Tommy.

DEERT… 

Tommy's phone is vibrating.  He was sitting with friends from the student body.  At a large forum table, Tommy grabs his phone and glances at the screen from under his desk.  “Sorry, guys... Cave to the back briefly,” Tommy told his friends.  Tommy stepped out of the room while carrying his mobile phone that was still shaking.

“Halo... “ Tommy raised the call on his phone while leaning against the wall of the corridor outdoors.  It was a call from Rudi.  It just so happens that Tommy's activities are in a period of pause, so he can take the time to pick up the phone.  Moreover, it was a call from his best friend, Rudi.

“I have good news,” said Rudi.  “Oh yes?  What news is it?” asked Tommy curiously.  “You still remember the funds you invested for my hobby the other day?” said Rudi.  “Yes, the.  Oh, about that.  Are you back in capital now?  Actually I sincerely want to help and you do not need to return it," said Tommy.

“Not, that's not what I meant.  It's about exhibitions, art galleries.  You remember?” said Rudi.  “Shortly, briefly.  Please explain,” said Tommy.  “Two weeks more art gallery that I have submitted to the International Art Forum in Paris can be done.  They accept our proposal!” clearly Rudi.  “The old building passed IAF standard?  Your artworks also passed the IAF assessment?  Can't be trusted!” said Tommy.

“That's thanks to your help, Tommy.  When do you have time to visit it?” rudi said with great excitement.  “Most is.  Gini, gini, tomorrow I'll come to your house.  Let's talk about this further.  I also want to hear all the process how it can work like this,” said Tommy.  The conversation is over.  Tommy went back to his meeting room.

Days change.  Tommy visited Rudi's house as he promised yesterday.  Rudi, Tommy's best friend is an art enthusiast.  His calmness, wisdom and maturity are depicted in various artworks.  So far his paintings have been successfully displayed in prestigious galleries and even international standard galleries.  Not infrequently the painting was purchased at a price of dozens to tens of millions of rupiah.  This time for the first time Rudi will host his own art gallery with international standards.

Rudi told how he managed to attract the attention of international forums to standardize his gallery.  They were both so excited about the achievement.  They also celebrate it simply in Rudi's reading room with a bottle of expensive wine.

“By the way, how are your efforts to get the heart of Maria?” ask Rudi.  “Si Fuck Brian now seems to have got the blessing of Maria's mother.  It made it harder for me to get close to Maria.  Her mother was so protective, tended to accompany her wherever she went.  How can I launch my actions then! Shit!” tommy clear.

“You know for yourself that her brother, the Sudarsono Monster, is my arch enemy?  It's only getting harder on me.  Maybe Maria's mother thought I was approaching Maria because there was a mode to destroy her family. Unpacking the rottenness that Sudarsono has been doing,” said Tommy. 

“Socialite woman whose name is Lupita?  Hem.... How about I help you?” said Rudi.  “How to?” ask Tommy excitedly.  “I did know the son of your arch-enemy, but it feels like my face is still quite foreign to his family.  I think I can invite that woman to my gallery, of course she'll take Maria.  Didn't you say they always go together?” said Rudi.

Time passed too.  Rudi managed to invite Aunt Lupita who was also with Nurul or Maria to the art gallery Rudi.  Rudi had arranged for Tommy and Nurul to meet later at the gallery, meeting secretly.  There won't be any Brian there who will mess up their meeting.

Aunty Lupita and Nurul were present, they were wearing such elegant clothes.  Especially Nurul, she was like a princess from a European kingdom that was so shining charm.  Rudi welcomed their arrival and accompanied them around.  

This is the first time Nurul entered a gallery of high nuances of art.  Unlike the local galleries he used to go to.  Nurul was fascinated by some of the works.  He can stand longer in a dumbfounded state in front of a work.  While Aunt Lupita, Rudi's skill in inviting her to talk makes her move faster to explore room by room.

“Ma, can Maria stay here first?” nurul.  “Oh, you like it huh, Honey?” said Aunt Lupita who pointed to the work in front of them.  “OK, Mama wants to go around with Nak Rudi first, yes?” said Aunt Lupita.  This is Tommy's chance to see Nurul.  He had waited long enough for Nurul from behind his hideout.  While Rudi, he took Aunt Lupita to a room that was getting further away.

Tommy appears on Nurul's side.  He smiled at Nurul.  The scent of Tommy's perfume disperse Nurul's attention from the painting he was looking at, a scent that Nurul memorized.  Nurul averted his eyes, he could hardly believe it when Tommy found him standing by his side.  Nurul then looked around, he looked for the existence of Aunt Lupita and Rudi.

Nurul's heartbeat made him almost unable to make his breath free.  The man standing here is the man he longs for.  It felt like Nurul had not seen those pair of beautiful eyes and the charming smile that made her knees limp. What immediately comes to Nurul's mind every time he sees Tommy's presence are sweet memories with him, beautiful sins that poison his head.

“Only the two of us are here,” said Tommy.  Nurul hopes he can take shelter behind Aunt Lupita to avoid Tommy's embrace.  Nurul wants to be with Tommy, but it would destroy her so she wished she could take shelter behind the woman's broad back like a little girl scared of a docile dog she thought was savage and terrible.

“Lu... Lu here, Tom?” nurul hid his nervousness by turning his eyes back to the painting.  “You like it?” said Tommy mince words by turning his eyes also to the painting that Nurul was looking at.  “Iya,” replied Nurul.  “Emotion generated from the combination of colors and gradients that make sad, while in this section the emotions are very contrasting as if proclaiming happiness like the morning sun.  Bright and cheerful,” Tommy said as he pointed to another part of the painting.

Nurul gets carried away on the chatter, discussing the emotions of a painting is an effective way to distract her and her current feelings.  “How about the smoke effect that is here?” added Nurul.  “Yes, this I think is a miracle,” Tommy said.  “Yes, I agree.  Looks like we have the same taste,” said Nurul.

Tommy manages to get Nurul's attention and now he allows her to take Nurul into another quiet room.  Tommy who had arranged for the guards to help him condition the special room, he would bring Nurul in.  The guards will lock them in from the outside just as Tommy told him.  Then, not a single visitor could enter because the room was marked by guards at the entrance.

After that, Tommy could let go of his longing to Nurul.  Pay for what he has been missing all this time.  Tommy makes sure this time Nurul will not be able to avoid or reject it as when Nurul rejected it in the campus library.
