Her involuntary footsteps led her to a place she had never thought of. I don't know why he came to that place.
Otherside. That night Bagas just came out of the bathroom. Without drying her hair she sat in the lounge. Stare at the screen of his phone continuously. Wanted to contact Nina, but hesitated for fear of disturbing the woman.
Suddenly, the bell sounds. Sontak made Bagas look towards the entrance. Who visits her nights like this.
“Who comes tonight like this? Is that Dian?” murmured Bagas asked himself.
He stood up and walked towards the entrance. Without waiting for long, he opened the door. To his surprise he saw the woman standing right behind the door he opened.
“Nina?”
“What happened? Why are you like this?” Bagas held both of Nina's shoulders. Asked with concern.
How not he was not surprised and anxious. If Nina's condition is so upset and apprehensive. The work clothes he was wearing were still attached to his body, but his condition was messy and dirty full of soil. While his face was full of bruises. Especially Nina's irregular hair. The woman looked very messy and messy.
Nina immediately hugged Bagas and cried. The surprised Bagas immediately brought Nina into his apartment.
“Hey, don't cry constantly .. tell me what happened?” Bagas confused what to do. Nina did not want to talk, the woman continued to cry on her chest. Bagas led Nina slowly towards the lounge and then took her to a sofa.
Bagas released Nina's embrace slowly. He looked at Nina's face with clinging. Bagas' hand moved to flick the strands of hair that covered the woman's face.
“What happened? Who did this to you?” Bagas felt sliced in his heart. Seeing the situation of Nina. But on the sidelines there is a sense of anger that is held back.
“Hiks, Bagas..” Nina hugged Bagas again. Crying and spilling the sting he had been holding since. Inside the man really makes himself feel comfortable and safe.
Bagas also chose to be silent. She hugged Nina tightly while stroking her head. Maybe it could calm Nina down, he thought.
A few minutes later. After feeling Nina had already started to calm down. He let go of his embrace and moved from his seat. Step towards the kitchen, pouring cold water into the glass. While continuing to look at Nina who was still sobbing, but not like before.
“Drink first,” says Bagas.
Bagas gave the glass filled with water to Nina. The woman stared at Bagas and grabbed the glass. Drink the contents until it runs out.
Just then, Bagas began to ask. He sat down next to Nina. His hand moved grabbing Nina's hand that was still shaking.
“Are you feeling better?” ask Bagas.
He stared at Nina's face, as a result of crying. The woman nodded and took her long breath. Bagas stroked Nina's head back, and rubbed the remaining tears on her cheeks.
“Sister Gerry takes Gio and takes him away from me, hicks. You know I can't live without Gio, Gas. I've taken Gio as my own son, but now he's not there,”.
His voice was trembling and very soft. His face looked so sad and unsettled. But his hands, clenched firmly. Bagas who saw it, could understand that Nina was very angry. However, the woman did not display her entire sense of anger. He chose to keep it to himself.
Nina's eyes were round she looked at Bagas in confusion. “Isn't this? Melanie and this guy is Gerry's sister? What is the relationship between the two of them?”
“It turns out to be true, what a jerk you are Gerry.”
“Bagas, answer me. What's actually going on? Do you know Sister Gerry?”
Bagas looked at the face of the woman before him. What a pity his fate. Gerry bastard not only troubled his sister but he also troubled Nina. By separating him from Gio.
“Did he do this to you? Answer me honestly, Nina. I can't see you like this.” Bagas grabbed both of Nina's shoulders. Staring fixedly at Nina's eyes, waiting for the answer of her question.
Nina shook her head with tears that drop after drop fell. Given Fitriani's treatment of him.
“Aunties want me to marry Brother Gerry, and they threaten me. If I don't want to marry her, she'll take Gio away from me. Hiks hyks, I don't want that to happen, Gas. I'm scared, but I don't want to marry her either. What should I do?”
Bagas shook his head and cupped Nina's face. He could not bear to see Nina who was shaking again, remembering the incident earlier. Bagas wiped Nina's tears for the umpteenth time. He subconsciously approached Nina's forehead and clutched her tightly back.
“Basic bastard, I will never forgive you. You've made my loved ones suffer, don't expect you'll live in peace!” batin Bagas.
“Calm down, I will definitely help you. I won't let you marry her.”
Deg.
Nina's chest instantly thumped. Is he very important to Bagas. Until the man is willing to help her and does not allow himself to marry Gerry.
Nina loosened Bagas embrace, she looked up at the man's face. From her gaze Nina felt like sincerity was so great there. What he felt all this time, the same as Bagas also felt for him. Nina didn't want to be too hopeful. He hugged Bagas tightly. At least right now he has someone to lean on.
***
In Bagas' room. Nina who finished cleaning herself in the bathroom. Out in Bagas' sleeping pajamas. Because the clothes are no longer wearable, because there are traces of cutouts done by Fitriani.
Nina's steps stopped when she saw Bagas who was near the bed. The man was tidying up his pillow and rolling on the bed. He turned around and threw a smile.
Nina panicked, she turned her gaze away. And try to find another topic to talk about. His face is now as red as a tomato. Nina walked over to Bagas.
While Bagas himself sculpted, watching the woman who was walking towards him. There was a sad feeling seeing the woman who was very upset. Even though I finished the shower. The bruises on his face did not go away. Likewise with his hair that is not careless, cut carelessly.
“Not hair is a crown that is also very valuable for women. I'm so amazed by your fortitude and strength, Nina. I can't imagine how broken your heart was, when your beautiful hair became like this,” Inner Bagas.
TBC.
