Not Nackal, Nurul!
Run Nurul! Run on!

DEERT… 

A bright morning.  Nurul just finished her shower.  She rubbed her hair with a dry towel.  Nurul walks in her room reaching for a mobile phone that vibrates on the table beside her bed.

“Today cementin cave, yuk?” a chat from Brian.  “Today there is a bazaar in the city park.  The cave never saw a guy who had been with Icha there yesterday afternoon.  Who knows if there will be Icha there,” continued Brian.  “Oke, what time?” ask Nurul.  “Jam 9s, huh?  Ntar cave pick up,” said Brian.  “Sip,” replied Nurul.

“Cowok who has been with Icha?  Who knew Icha was there?  What exactly is Brian doing?  Why has he been so eager to help me find the presence of Icha?” inner Nurul's.  “Ga no harm keep trying,” thought.  

Nurul also told Aunt Lupita that she was going to the city park with Brian this morning.  “Honey, but Mama again make a promise with Rudi so you can meet with him,” said Aunt Lupita.  “Yah.  But Nurul was okay, Brian.  What time did you meet Rudinya's leg, Ma?” ask Nurul.  “Yah no answer yet.  Aunty also just touched Rudi.  No response yet,” said Aunt Lupita.  

“Gini aja, Ma.  If there's any direct info tell me, let me just cus on the way.  With Mama, did she go?” ask Nurul.  “Iya with Mama.  Yes it is so,” said Aunt Lupita agreed.

Time also changed.  Nurul was picked up by Brian, he had already reached the courtyard of the house.  “Udah ready?” ask Brian with his big motorbike.  “Should the cave ask the same brother, is it ready to heat up again?” seductive Nurul before riding Brian's bike on the back.  

Day after day Nurul spends time with Brian in motor vehicles.  It is not easy for Nurul to hear the complaints of the metrosexual guy when overheated and exposed to vehicle smoke.  But now Brian is getting used to it.  He rarely hitchhiked with Tommy.  Together with Nurul may be much more fun and can cover his discomfort with the scorching sun than having to hitch a ride on Tommy's car.

“Kak, why the hell are you so good at the cave?  Lu want to help the cave to make Icha nyari,” asked Nurul while sitting behind Brian as their motorbike drove.  “Let's cave tell you.  The cave obviously cares about you, Maria.  Just as you care the same cave,” replied Brian.

Moments later, Nurul and Brian arrive at the park.  The bazar has been enlivened by the waiters of each stand, but the visitors are still not too crowded.  Brian and Nurul also walked down the stand after stand while having fun after Brian's motorbike parked at a location a little far from the main location of the bazaar.  

“Maria, have you had breakfast?” ask Brian.  “Udah, Brother.  Hungry brother?  Not had breakfast yet?” nurul.  “Udah anyway, but the cave is hungry again.  There is culinary betawi,” said Brian while pointing to a stand.  “Wah, may.  The cave also pingin icip-icip,” said Nurul.

Nurul and Brian sat down and ordered food.  They enjoy their snacks.  While Nurul was sipping the broth on his bowl, Brian suddenly wiped the edge of Nurul's lips.  “Elu if you eat rich duck.  Messy.  Portion messages only kuah doang so,” said Brian.  Nurul was surprised, since when did Brian dare to touch Nurul's face?  All this time Brian only held Nurul's hand, nothing more.  It was also an emergency moment.

“This is not a kuah doang, Brother.  There is meat!” nurul's protests shifted his containment.  “But you only order half a portion right, keep asking for the sauce in many?” said Brian.  “Ya, means ga kuah doang, Kak Briaaan.. “ Nurul said.  “Iya, huh.  Ja.  But don't rich duck eat it,” continued Brian.

Just a few steps, Nurul suddenly stopped his steps while pulling Brian's hand.  “Ustadz Beni?” inner Nurul's.  Nurul's eyes were wide open.  Ustadz Beni was lifting a box on the other side of Nurul and Brian's destination, but it appears Ustadz Beni and them are heading in the same direction.

“Lu why, Maria?” ask Brian wonder.  “The stomach of the cave, Sister.. Suddenly the stomach of the cave hurts,” said Nurul pretend while holding his stomach.  “Ah, you mostly ate sambel earlier you, huh?  Not kuah doang content, tp sambelnya must bejibun,” uceh Brian.  “Ya already, hurry us go from here, ayoo... “ said Nurul while running pull Brian.

Almost Nurul met with Ustadz Beni, who was very likely to recognize him even though Nurul's appearance had changed, no longer hooded.  He didn't think this could happen, it was a coincidence.  Nurul had to be more careful when he was in a public place like this.  The presence of Ustadz Beni made him alert not as fast as before.

Nurul and Brian headed to a sports building that was still in the area, only located far from the location of the bazaar.  Nurul gasps after running, as does Brian, but Brian is not too exhausted.  “Ya cave already entered first yes,” said Nurul looking for a toilet on the outskirts of the building.

Inside the toilet he checked his phone, hoping for a chat message from Aunt Lupita that was missed.  After checking it turned out that no message entered Nurul's phone.  So, Nurul also called Aunt Lupita.  He asked about their appointment with Rudi.

Aunt Lupita also said that their appointment will be held in the afternoon, at four.  That answer made Nurul limp.  Four o'clock is still a long time.  He had hoped to escape this situation by going with Aunt Lupita, it was far from his expectations.

Nurul returns to see Brian after a long time in the toilet.  His mind was so runny, it could not come up with a solution at all.  Nurul's desperate.  His face was drowned when he met Brian.  “We go to the doctor?” bargain Brian.  “Ga need, take stall medicine also healed kok,” said Nurul.  Brian took Nurul away from the place.  He stopped at a minimarket and bought diarrhea medicine for Nurul.  Of course Nurul was just pretending to take the medicine.

“Kak, the stomach of the cave has gone dry.  I think the cave wants to go home,” said Nurul.  “You're healthy, Maria? Very spooky.  This is great medicine.  If you've been light, how about if the cave takes you somewhere?” bargain Brian.  “Next nyari Icha?  I guess.. “ said Nurul in a style that no longer cares about Icha.  “Not, Maria.  Cave want to ngajak lu ngadem,” said Brian cut Nurul's speech.

“Kulineran again?  The cave is still traumatized, brother.  Eat again, ntar muncrut again cave,” said Nurul.  “Udah just follow the cave deh,” said Brian.  Brian also invited Nurul to a Plaza, there is a movie rental place complete with their respective rooms.  Brian rented the place with the film Nurul asked to choose.

Maybe this is a great way to relieve the mood of Nurul who was not careless after he almost met Ustadz Beni, people from Nurul's home region who he knew and certainly recognized him.  The rental room to watch movies with a maximum capacity of five people is so closed.  Not much different from karaoke rooms in karaoke centers.

Something Nurul didn't expect to happen here.  Brian boldly touched Nurul.  “Kak!  Release, Brother!  Anjrit you, Brother!” nurul tries to escape from Brian's arms.
