This morning the city of Jakarta was hit by heavy rain. Nisa pulled back the blanket to cover her entire body. With his eyes still closed, his hand tried to find the remote ac around the bed. Then he pressed the turn off button on the remote and hugged tightly the bolster that was right next to him.
Repeatedly heard the sound of an alarm sound on the phone. He turned it off repeatedly. In the morning, he wanted to sleep even longer.
Half an hour later, Nisa tried to open her eyes. Since it had been 2 days in a row not coming to the clinic, inevitably today she had to go to her beauty clinic. The mood today is really very ugly. The falling rain this morning was a picture of his heart at this moment. Since last night, Nisa has been a non-talking person. His joy all this time suddenly disappeared just like that.
Today she wears simple clothes. He wears a plain black shirt and jeans combined with flat shoes and a sling bag that is red in line with the color of his shoes. At breakfast together with a bundle he just enjoy the food without talking a bit. Mother who was initially confused but only thought maybe this child was in a hurry. Mother did not feel that the nature of her daughter was very strange this morning.
"Mother, Nisa asked for help dong breakfast placed in tupperware aja. I think Nisa continued to eat in the office." Nisa.
"Okay, baby." Mother immediately took the tupperware and put the fried noodles.
Nisa spent the warm milk made by the mother after that straight away..
"Hurry up, dear." Mother's speech.
"I'm sorry Nisa woke up a long time ago. So now it's a rush like this." Nisa.
"And again this rain, mother interdependently use the umbrella in front of ya dear." Mother's speech.
"Boleh mother. Thanks mother ..." Nisa.
Mother took an umbrella and drove Nisa to the front of the house and into the car.
"Be careful, honey, the road must be slippery now." Mother's speech.
"Siip mama." Nisa brandished her two thumbs with her sweet smile.
Nisa drove her car slowly.

The Falshback On
Last night Dimas drove Nisa home...
"Nis already in front of this lo house. wake up dong." Said Dimas while shaking Nisa's body.
Nisa slowly regained her senses and woke up from her sleep. The first time he opened his eyes he saw the surroundings.
"Oh, it's up. Thanks to Dim." Nisa said as she opened the car door. Dimas quickly held Nisa's hand out.
"Why Dim?" Nisa's real question is still very sleepy.
"Someone wants me to say the same. Important !!!" Dimas.
'I mean, Dimas would like to say what the hell is the same to me? His face was serious. Maybe Dimas was aware of his feelings. Ah but I'm not sure anyway.' Inner Nisa who asked in her own heart.
"Lo's listening to me, isn't Nis? how is it quiet?" Ask Dimas to make sure.
"Eh I-yeah I heard it." Nisa said a little nervously.
"Emang you want to say what the hell? my quarry is coming in." Nisa again.
"The discussion that we had when we played the game." Dimas.
'That's right. I think Dimas was serious about it.' Inner Nisa.
"meaning?" Asked Nisa who was very curious.
"So I said you were the last person I thought you were. I don't know why I suddenly thought of you. But I hope you don't think of anything else, Nis. I just thought you were just a friend and nothing more." Clear Dimas.
Degs...
Dimas' words just made him not sleepy anymore. And the words also made Nisa realize that all this time Dimas only considered her as a friend and could never be more. At this moment his heart felt so painful and made him pause for a moment. More precisely he did not know what Dimas would answer. It was like the feeling he felt was immediately rejected without being expressed. Almost his tears fell but he held it because it would look ridiculous in front of Dimas later. His mind is already so fucked up tonight. Why Dimas had to say something like this when Nisa already felt happy and comfortable when she met her family Dimas. That's his mind, why it should be tonight....
"Well, how are you quiet? Was there something wrong with my words just now?" Ask Dimas to make sure.
"Eh.no Dim. Maybe it's because I'm sleepy so I'm not loading. Just calm down, Dim, I can't think of anything else. Let alone something like that, it's the same that I'm going to ruin our friendship all along." Nisa clearly lied. Deep in his heart wanted it to feel like he was yelling and expressing his feelings straight to Dimas.
"It's good that you think so. I'm glad to hear it." Say Dimas honestly.
"I go in first." Nisa hastily paused and prevented the same return Dimas.
'What else is Dim? I can't sit here for long. I could have netes in my tears.' Inner Nisa.
"Let me take you in all farewell to your nyokap." Dimas.
"No need to Dim. I'll take your greetings to my mother." Reject Nisa.
"Gue is not good Nis, I was the one who picked you up so I also have to be responsible for mulangin lo." Dimas.
"And you sent me. Which responsibility is again." Nisa.
"Why the hell are you Nis? Is it wrong if I pay directly to your nyokap?" Ask Dimas hera.
"Not wrong. The problem is too late at night as if I was sleeping too. So you better go home, Dim. I promise you I'll be able to say hello lo k nyokap." Nisa tried to convince.
"OK if that's what you want. I'm going home now." Dimas.
"OK..."
Nisa ran into the house...
"Nisa? Ngangetin mother of aja. Where's the dimas, baby?" Ask mother wonder.
"Bund's coming home." Nisa said take a glass of water and drink it.
"Tumben Dimas not saying goodbye to mother?"Ask mother wonder.
"Last greetings to mother because it's already the night of the bund." Nisa.
"Oh that..." Mother's speech.
"If so Nisa went up first yes bund. It's so sleepy. Good night mother..." Nisa kissed a glimpse of the mother's left cheek and ran straight into her room.
Nisa was crying in the room. Tonight he spilled all his feelings through conscious tears. Crying until a hiccup while cutting his chest that feels so painful. Do not forget also he has locked the door of his room so that the mother does not know his current situation.
It may be true that love does not have to have and cannot be forced. Actually he already knows the risks and consequences of being too fond of someone, but since their closeness so far he has been very trying to cover up and even eliminate his feelings. Still the figure of a Dimas he could not eliminate at any cost. At the moment he convinced himself not to expect more and now he will try to avoid meeting Dimas. One of the goals is to forget his feelings.
After being satisfied crying, he washed his face with water repeatedly and put on eye cream to slightly reduce the swelling that is on the bottom of his eyes.
"Gue aka lupain lo Dim, I promise the same self will remove lo from my heart. Today, tomorrow and forever. Let's just say I've never had any feelings all this time. I'm sure I can. Tonight is the last night I'm gonna shed a tear for you. Your words made me realize and I will not expect anything else." He said in front of the mirror.
After which, Nisa closed her eyes and lay hugging her beloved teddy bear.
Flashback Off
While continuing her breakfast at the office, Nisa recalled the incident last night. Something she wants to miss in her life. Until he did not realize that his consciousness was sounding very loud. A few missed calls were on his phone. He woke up when the spoon he was holding fell on the floor.
'I'm daydreaming again, I can't do this. Remember your main goal is to forget Dimas. So from now on must try as much as possible to avoid if you meet directly.' Inner Nisa.
3 Hours later, Nisa is still checking her laptop...
Tok Tok Tok....
"Lake in." Nisa said without looking at the door.
"Hi sister Nisa...?"
His voice is not foreign. He immediately looked towards the door...
"KIRANNA !!!" Nisa said a little shouting.
"Who are you-the-th?" His words suddenly stopped because at that moment Dimas entered his study.
"Sorry if you disturb your brother." Kirana.
"Gpp really." Nisa said without greeting Dimas who came. Nisa is chatting with Kirana.
"it's up to my sister." Kirana.
Nisa's got 2 bottles for Kirana and Dimas.
"Sorry yes that there is a stay of this drink in the refrigerator, have not had time to nyetok drink again." Nisa.
"Look easy again, brother. Today, you're busy?" Ask Kirana to make sure.
"Lumayan..." Nisa.
"You heard it yourself Kirana. if Nisa's sister is busy so you don't have to bother me." Dimas.
"Sorry yes Nis, Kirana really maksa to come to your beauty clinic. I'm sorry if we're bothering you who's working." Say Dimas again who feels bad.
"Gpp I know." Say Nisa flat to Dimas. And smiled back at Kirana again.
"You want to see if the beauty clinic has a sister?" Nisa.
"You are so bad, brother. Can you just walk around here?" Kirana again.
"By dong Kirana darling. Come follow brother." Nisa said while pulling Kirana's hand to follow her.
"That's pretty big, brother." Kirana said in amazement.
"Do you want treatment?If you want to say yes let brother befriend." Nisa.
"Gak deh kak, today Kirana wants to take a walk to the mall in Jakarta just like Dimas. What if my brother comes with us?" Kirana.
"Austenia !!! don't start again. You see for yourself that Nisa's really busy." Ketus Dimas who was following them from behind.
"I'm sorry I came all of a sudden here. I called you many times but didn't pick up." Dimas.
"Gue ain't seen hp daritadi Dim." Nisa.
"So brother can't come with us huh? No fun dong both the same as Dimas. There's Kirana getting scolded all the way." Kirana Whispers.
Nisa was actually very sorry to see Kirana like that. 'Am I going with you? But it was really lazy to have Dimas. I want to avoid meeting him. Tapikan Kirana there is no harm with me.' Inner Nisa.
"Sister can come but only about 3 hours aja darling, it's back here again. Because there are friends who want to meet. So it can't take long." Obviously Nisa.
"real brother? gpp the important brother is coming with us." Kirana said with excitement.
"Lo sure you can go with Nis?" Ask Dimas.
"It's like I said just now." Nisa flat.
'Why the hell daritadi Nisa cuekin me. I was wrong about him.' Inner Dimas.
"If so come on, don't waste time. We're leaving now..." Kirana.
"But I'll take the bag first." Nisa.
"OK..."
Kirana and Dimas are waiting for Nisa in front of her beauty clinic. Not long after, Nisapun finally came out...
"Gue bring your own car let's not repotin lo." Nisa.
"No, we're together." Dimas.
"So ! I'll keep my own car." Nisa walked straight on her car collar.
"Why don't you want to go with us?" Tanya Dimas held Nisa's hand.
"Because I don't want to take nicotine." Nisa brushes Dimas' hand and gets in the car.
"It's up to you." Dimas.
'Nisa's attitude is very strange daritadi.' Inner Dimas that feel dicuekin.
"Let's go in. dong kak buruan." Whine Kirana from the car.
"Gue follow you from behind." Nisa said while focusing on looking ahead.
"Hmm."
'Gue isn't the Nisa that Dim used to be. Who can force you to follow your will. Because I promised myself to forget all about you. I don't want my feelings to be in vain.' Inner Nisa.
*****
Sampai at one of the Mall in Jakarta, Nisa just follow where Kirana steps. The first time Kirana took in and out of the clothing store, then makeup and play timezone. And after getting tired of playing Kirana bought her favorite boba drink. It doesn't feel like 2 hours have passed. Nisa realized that she was only familiar with chatting with Kirana. The conscious dimas, who was silent, finally began to speak up.
"Austenia !!! where are you really going? Brother tired all day to follow you. You daritadi only invite to chat with sister Nisa aja. Brother is just like a display that follows you from behind." Ketus Dimas's.
"Don't get angry so dong kak, Kirana also only occasionally can come to Jakarta. You can walk like this. Not that Kirana wants nyuekin sister, but right sister will not understand that Kirana asked opinion about clothes and makeup." Obviously Kirana while whining towards Dimas.
"If it's better now replace you who follow brother." Dimas.
"Where are you going, brother?" Ask Kirana. Without answering his sister's question, Dimas simply led the way. Want to not want them to just follow the will of his brother.
Now they're standing right in front of the gramedia..."How come here, brother? Want to find what you're trying to do?" Kirana.
"You know what a shop this is, so obviously we're going to buy a book." Dimas.
"Bas on nerds." Kirana said annoyedly.
"What did you say?" Dimas.
"Not really, brother. Come on, sister Nisa, let's go inside..." Kirana.
"Relope..." Nisa.
'Lisa is still my wife. Maybe he was upset when his working hours were interrupted to an unimportant place like this. But it's really weird. She can talk and laugh with Kirana but won't talk to me. Even if talking is just aja.'Inner Dimas.
Nisa and Kirana take a look at the novel and comic section, Nisa skim through some of the novel synopses that are there then take some to buy. While Kirana was cool to read comics while smiling and laughing by herself. Dimas was still right behind them. You could say watching them from behind while picking up some books he wanted to buy. When Nisa was focusing on reading the synopsis of the novel while walking, she accidentally hit someone so that she fell and some of the novels held became scattered.
"www..." Nisa.
"I'm sorry, not intentionally. You're gpp?" The man raised his hand to help Nisa.
"Gpp I can be alone." Nisa reassembled the books scattered on the floor then immediately stood up.
"You're Nisa, right?" Say that guy.
When Nisa saw the person, she was very shocked and made him become dumbfounded instantly.
"YOU !" Nisa shouted while pointing towards the person.
"Sina?" Call Dimas from behind. Nisa turned her head towards Dimas and looked forward back. He is in the middle position or wedged which makes him unable to go anywhere anymore. He was very confused as to which direction it was currently.
"Nisa.." call the person in front of her while holding Nisa's hand.
At this moment Nisa was silent and shocked at once. Nisa's like a dead flea who doesn't know what to do. He tried to avoid Dimas and the person in front of him was the one he had hated so much all along.
