The Azkia Wound Flakes
Nicolas

Again Nicolas and Azkia showed their affection in front of other children without hesitation. In the cafeteria as well as in the back field of the school, they were never absent to always be alone. The man who liked Azkia at first, started glancing at other women. Because his affection for Nicolas was too indulgent.

"Ki. If you're dating, don't be in public." reprimanded Azkia's good friend, Ardila.

"Why, Di? I'm not expressing intimacy. Just be normal." said Azkia.

"You holding hands in public is unethical, Ki. Lots of people talk about you."

Azkia began to be unable to bear what Ardila said as if Ardila was hunting her.

"Di, it's just handrails, I don't kiss no hugs." Azkia started defending herself.

"Kia, Ki's aware. Nico is a man. Maybe now he holds your hand even though the reason is dear. What are the reasons tomorrow?" Ardila begins to worry about Azkia's attitude being drunk on love. Given any input by him, it still did not enter his mind.

"In, you find a guy, date, fall in love so you know what it's like." Azkia denied.

"okay, Ki. You can't hear what I'm saying right now. But later, you can regret your own actions. I remind you, because I'm your best friend. I don't want you to fall into the abyss." said Ardila and his speech was greeted with a loud table buzz from Azkia. Brakk!!!!!

Somehow Ardila had to advise Azkia how else, because from then on Azkia and Ardila's relationship drifted away. Azkiah was increasingly inseparable by Nicolas as well as Ardila.

One night, it rained heavily, Ardila put the clothes on the terrace of the house. Suddenly, Ardila's fence opens with Azkia drenched in her school uniform.

"Kia! Kia! You why?" Ardila hysterically sees that Azkia yany is not alone in a wet uniform. Ardila invites Azkia in and replaces Azkia's clothes.

"Here, drink first." Ardila gives warm tea to Azkia. Azkia was trembling and very pale.

"Are you okay, Ki?" tanya Ardila looked at Azkia's trembling lips.

Azkia looked at Ardila with blank eyes and placed the glass on the table.

"Di, I..." Azkia shed her tears and looked at Ardila deeply. Ardila was worried about Azkia.

"Why, Ki? You why?" Ardila held onto Azkia's trembling shoulders and hugged her. Azkia cried and could not help but cry even harder.

After a bit of calm, Azkia started to catch her breath.

"A. You really are, Di"

Ardila was still staring at Azkia in confusion. Ardila was afraid that what she was worried about all this time happened. Azkia hugged Ardila deeper and deeper.

"Nico's not the kind of guy you think, Di...."

"Jeez, Ki...."

Azkiah was crying again. This time Ardila did not stop her crying. He let Azkiah cry to his satisfaction until there was no burden left.

****

Azkia pressed the elevator button and brought some documents. It was a bit of a hassle until some of the documents dropped.

"Ouch!"

Azkia tried to retrieve the fallen documents and there was a man who helped tidy it up.

"Thank you..." Azkia came to a halt when she saw who the man was.

Nicolas!

Azkia immediately snatched the document from Nicolas. Nicolas was stunned by the beauty of Azkia who increasingly look mature.

"Azkiah?"

Azkia turned her body, she was about to take the freight elevator again. Nicolas goes after him and grabs Azkia's hand.

"Azkia wait."

"REMOVE!!" azkia's voice was so loud that it shocked the people in the lobby.

Azkia doesn't care. He looked into Nicolas' eyes.

"Azkia.." call Nicolas.

Without answering any more, Azkia left Nicolas in the lobby with a confused face.

Azkia hurriedly closed the door of the freight elevator so that no one followed her.

"You again?" greet a man who turned out to be there first in the freight elevator.

Kevin just smiled looking at Azkia who was quite a mess this morning.

"Hows it? What food did you bring today?" kevin asked pointing at the food bag that Azkia was holding.

"This is the chicken you bought yesterday. I make fried chicken and have vegetables too. Oh yeah, there's also a sambal. This time Indonesian cuisine first yes, sir. You have not had time to googling again western cuisine" said Azkia handed the food bag to Kevin.

"No problem. Thank you" Kevin replied with his English accent. He is still not familiar with Indonesian speech to date.

"Yes, sir, same - same."

They immediately exited the elevator when the elevator opened and headed for the office.

Again Joana pinched Azkia who was found coming along with Kevin.

"Don't don't, your house is close to Mr. Kevin's" said Joana.

"No, really." Azkia put her bag and documents on the table.

"Why do you always come together?"

"Yes we meet in the elevator." Azkia replied while turning on the computer. After turning on the computer, he looked for something.

"Search what?" ask Joana.

"Pulpenku. You see my pen?" asked Azkia to look for the pen.

"No. Where did you take it - where?" ask Joana.

"Yes, I took it with me, I hold the same document...." Azkia came to a halt when she remembered that the pen had fallen down with the documents. And at that time there was Nicolas who helped tidy up his documents.

"Why, Ki?"

"No, Jo, it's okay. I just wanted to miss at home" Azkia replied immediately switching the conversation.

"Yaudah, just use my pen. It's easy to use this pen." said Joana gave Azkia the pen.

"Thank you, yeah. I'll give it back."

Azkia continued her work as well as Joana.

****

Nicolas arrives at his office and puts his bag on the table. After sitting down and turning on his computer, he took out a blue sea pen from his pocket.

He looked at the pen and remembered his encounter with Azkia.

Is that really Azkia? How come? All this time, Azkia had already disappeared without a trace. Now he's in a building with Azkia. It's just that Nicolas just found out lately.

Honestly, Nicolas missed Azkia a little. He still could not get rid of Azkia from his heart. He's been asking questions since the last fight.

****

"It's the result" Azkia said, handing Nicolas a testpack.

Nicolas was surprised to see line two in the testpack.

"Azkia.it's you...."

"Yes, I'm pregnant." Azkia replied coldly.

"How can you?"

"How come? We did it and you asked me how can I get pregnant? Nico, are you sane?" azkia said furiously.

"I mean, aren't we playing it safe?" nicolas asked confusedly.

"So you don't want to accept this kid, Nic ?" ask Azkia.

"It's not like that, I just..."

"It's not ready, is it?" Azkia is getting colder on Nicolas.

"Azkia.wait a minute, we can talk about this well..."

Nicolas massaged his forehead. The mistake he made thirteen years ago, could it be that he could fix it?
