The Nick's Life

GECK

Iza knocked on her parents' bedroom door, then opened the unlocked door. It looks like ummi is folding the clothes she just picked up from the boutique. Iza approached and sat down next to him.

“Ummi hmm.”

“What's Zi?”

“Hmm.. Iza can't come to a friend's wedding? It was in Bandung, ummi. If possible Friday night Iza departs, return Sunday afternoon.”

“Whose name?”

“Sama Meta.”

“Two aja?”

“Ng. ngga ummi. Same with my other friends too.”

“Nick means?”

Iza stared at Ummi's face for quite a while. The woman could guess who was the one who went with her. Iza lowered her head, the pessimistic girl will get permission.

“In addition to Nick, who else are you going with?”

“With his friend Nick, one of them is Arnav. I know he's doing research in his office. Actually, the wedding was Nick's friend. I do not feel good if I do not come because I was invited directly.”

Ummi folded the last shirt and then put it in the basket. The plan is that the shirt will be sent tomorrow to the assembly of one of his friends. The middle-aged woman returned to her place. Seriously talking to her daughter.

“You like Nick?”

Again Iza was surprised by the words issued by her mother. Iza lowered her head, her fingers appearing to be squeezing each other. Ummi grabbed Iza's hand then clasped it with both hands.

“Without you answering, ummi already knows how you feel.”

“Sorry ummi.”

“Why should I apologize? Feeling like the opposite sex is natural. Looks like Nick's a good kid. Ummi will let you go, but.. under one condition.”.

“What ummi?”

“You should invite Rivan.”

Rivan is the son of Anton, the younger brother of Aurel. Anton is the older sister of Mina, a woman who is often called ummi by her son and husband. During Ridho, Iza's brother was in Cairo, Rivan was often assigned to escort Iza if he had to travel far. Although he was only 17 years old, but the young man was trustworthy and responsible.

“Thank you, I'll call Rivan.”

“Let ummi the phone ommu.”

“But abi how ummi?”

“Makanya ummi says you should take Rivan. In addition to taking care of you, he is also your ticket to get permission from abi,” ummi to take care of Iza's nose.

“Still ummi.”

Iza splashed into the arms of ummi. The woman rubbed the child's back. It was happy to see her only daughter smiling again. Ummi has been suspicious of Iza's changes lately. The girl looked more cheerful and smiled a lot. His curiosity was answered already when he met Nick. Once he saw that he already knew there was something between his son and the man.

🍂🍂🍂

At seven more than twenty minutes Anton delivered his youngest son, Rivan to Rahadi's residence. The plan is Rivan will accompany Iza to attend his friend's wedding in Bandung. From the direction of the stairs, Iza came down with her traveling bag. He approached Anton and kissed the back of his hand.

“What time is your plan to leave?” ask Anton.

“Jam eight, om.”

“You were picked up here?”

“Ngga. We are scheduled to meet at Ambrossia Hills.”

At first Nick took the initiative to pick Iza up to his house but was rejected. Iza is not ready to meet Nick with his brother. He may not go to Bandung if they meet.

“Why should it be at her collect hotel?!” rahadi's tone of voice began to rise.

“Just get aja abi. I work there. Anyway closer also goes to the toll.”

“Then, let's take between.”

“I'm coming.”

“You stay home. Let me leave Iza to his friends.”

Rahadi was silent as soon as he heard Anton's words. The man was indeed quite disinclined with his sister-in-law who rarely spoke but had an indisputable firm aura.

Iza kissed the back of Rahadi's and Mina's hands alternately. Mina hugged Iza for a moment then kissed her forehead. Anton sighed Iza's shoulder out of the house along with Rivan. Then the three got into the car.

Forty minutes later, Iza's vehicle finally reached the parking lot of Ambrossia Hills. Nick, Abe and Denis are already there. Only Arnav is picking up Meta. Rivan and Anton get out of the car. They were greeted by Nick.

Iza introduced Nick to Anton. Nick kisses Anton's back, followed by Abe and Denis. Then he met Rivan. Nick takes Iza's travel bag and puts it in the car.

“I signed Iza and Rivan,” Anton said.

“Iya. Thank you for entrusting Iza as well as Rivan to me.”

“Be careful driving his car, don't speed.”

“Each om,” replied Nick and the others simultaneously.

“Then you go home first. Rivan, take care of your brother yes.”

“Iya pa.”

Anton rubs the tops of Iza and Rivan's head, then walks into his car. Soon the iron chariot came out of the parking lot. Simultaneously, Arnav's black Avanza entered. The man stopped the car near his friends gathered. Meta and Arnav go down and join the others.

Meta smiled seeing Rivan also come along on this trip. The girl approached Rivan who was standing beside Iza.

He introduced the young man whom he had already considered a younger brother to Arnav. Rivan shook Arnav's hand as he mentioned his name. His eyes looked at the man who resembled an Indian movie star from top to bottom.

“You directly unplug what you want to eat first?” ask Arnav.

“Directly unplug, later we find food on the road or in the rest area,” Denis suggested.

Everyone nodded at Denis's suggestion. Abe and Denis head for Abe's car. They both decided to go together. Arnav invites Meta into the car. Same with Iza. But Rivan stopped his steps as he approached Nick's car.

“Kak.. I took the car with me Meta aja yes.”

“Why?” ask Nick.

“I don't trust that Sarong Khan. Rich he tuh typical guy crocodile stump.”

Nick's laughter almost broke hearing him. It looks like Arnav's face is synonymous with playboy, land crocodile or stump crocodile. Without being told, Rivan already knew that the man of Pakistani descent was included in the category of crocodiles and the like.

After getting permission from Iza, while carrying his backpack, he walked towards Arnav's car. The window glass several times. Arnav lowers the window glass that Rivan tapped.

“Bang.. I'm in this car. Open the door dong.”

With great force, Arnav unlocks the car keys. Rivan casually got into the car and put a seat belt on his body. Meta was of course happy for Rivan to come in one car with him. That way he will not be in an awkward situation during the trip to the city of Kembang.

“Situation of kak Iza is safe under control. I don't want to be a smoky mosquito repellent if I come in their car.”

“Nah lo here will also be a smokeless mosquito repellent.”

“If here I want to deliberately be a mosquito repellent, bang. You see the mosquitoes in this car are very naughty, sure I.”

Meta giggled amusedly at Arnav and Rivan's debate. Grunting in annoyance, Arnav began to drive his vehicle. Follows two vehicles in front of him driven by Abe and Nick.

The quiet atmosphere was so felt in the car. Arnav would rather be quiet than have to argue with the little boy next to him. The plan to enjoy the trip with a romantic song and a warm talk ambyar already. All damaged by Rivan's presence.

“Bang.. deserted very, sing napa?”

“Lo who sang!” ketus Arnav's.

“Mending. Indians do pinter sing the same rich joged Sarong Khan.”

“Gue is a Pakistani derivative not an Indian. It's also half.”

“Ah has been different dikit doang. Yes, I've been singing music. Want to hear what song bang?”

“Whatever you want!”

“OK.. let's embed this trip.”

Rivan opened his backpack then took something from it. Rivan's hand grips the usb and then plugs it into Arnav's car audio. Unmitigated, Rivan raised the volume quite high. Instantly the sound of music blaring, surprised Arnav who was driving.

“Eh buset kenceng very volume, minitin!”

Rivan clucked violently but no doubt his hand moved to lower the volume level. Then she sang along to the song she played. Arnav shakes his head. Did not expect the boy who suspected slaul child turned out to like the type of music dangdut koplo.

“Hey! Why are you watching dangdut like to say, open the joss duck! What because wearing a mini skirt so alesan. I love this brother look around my sexy body. Happy... this brother peep-peek I wear a mini skirt.”

Rivan sings while swaying Caesar's style. Meta couldn't help but laugh at Rivan's behavior. The young man indeed somewhat shifted his brain. That is why he is also happy if Iza traveling accompanied by him. Their journey does not feel bland, it is full of color.

“Karawang rocked!! Cirebon where is the sound!! Come bang Arnav bouncy bang. Asik-asik josss!!”

“Najis!!”

Meta held onto his stomach while continuing to laugh. His hand moved rubbing the corner of his watery eyes as it did not stop laughing. Arnav glanced at the girl from the rearview mirror. Meta's laughing face really made his heart tremble. Unaware the man smiled.

🍂🍂🍂

After going through traffic jams at some point, finally the group arrived in the city of Bandung. Time shows zero zero past five minutes. They went straight to the hotel where the reception and the reception will be held tomorrow. Fahrul had prepared three rooms for them.

Iza sleeps room with Meta. Denis with Abe and Nick with Arnav. Rivan as additional personnel will sleep together with Nick and Arnav. This is used Arnav to extract more information about Meta.

After cleaning the body, the three men lay themselves on their mattresses. Fahrul deliberately ordered twin beds for his friends. Nick asked for an extra bed for Rivan.

“Van, if Meta what is his favorite food?”

Rivan who was just about to close his eyes opened his eyes again. He turned towards Arnav who was lying on his side with his arms propping his head up. His eyes stared at Rivan with a sense of curiosity.

“You know or want to know?” ask Rivan.

“Nih boy from earlier ngeselin mulu.”

“Wani pyro bang?”

“What do I love you want!”

Rivan got up from his sleep and sat cross-legged on the bed. Arnav did the same. No different from his best friend, Nick also re-enforced his body.

“Kak Meta also does not like sweet foods. He prefers savory ones.”

“What example?”

“Upil!”

A plane landed on Rivan's head. The boy was happy to make Arnav go up in blood. Nick couldn't help his laughter either. Rivan's figure was far from his estimate when he first saw it.

“Nih his rich son has broken his nerve,” cetus Arnav.

“You want to continue?”

“Yang really cut your info!”

“Kak Meta tuh like rich market snacks risoles, potato croquettes, lemper, panada. So, if you want to give a snack do not have an expensive. Jogrogin aja tuh hawker market must be eaten same him.”

“She has a boyfriend yet?”

“Ya has not. There is no dating term in his life. Anyway, if you have found a couple who fit directly married.”

“Lo know Deket same Meta?”

“Ya. Our house people are only five steps different doang.”

“Serious lo?”

“Serious. Therefore baek-baek om ama me if you want to deketin kak Meta.”

“Om.. om.. om.. when do I get married ama aunt lo!”

“If his ashes Iza is rich how?”

This time, Nick's voice was heard. Rivan looked at Nick for a moment. Instead of asking about Iza, the man was even more curious about Rahadi. Rivan's face began to get serious when talking about his uncle who was famous for being authoritarian and possessive in his daughter.

“If om Hadi is a bit stiff. I was also a little afraid to talk to him. I just bokap pawangnya om Hadi sama ummi also of course. Sometimes I feel sorry for Iza, she can't be herself. Om Hadi is too regulating and curbing the life of Iza. It's for good but sometimes I'm afraid that if one day Iza already not strong face all the pressure and rules om Hadi, he will explode like what.”

“Lo know the guy who sets the same deck Iza who?”

“Kak Anang?”

“Iya time.”

“Yes it must be him, no more. Kak Iza tuh tuh no have them guy, one-on-one guy who decket same he is sister Anang. Om Hadi really likes him. In his eyes there is no better man than Anang for Iza. Sis Iza also likes Anang, but it turns out they are not a match.

I have no problem with him marrying Isma. But what makes me gedeg, but people do not dare to be frank if they accept matchmaking with other women. Six months he covered up all from Iza's sister, Om Hadi as well. Brother Iza is already rich bego people who do not know anything. That is why he knew that Brother Anang married Isma, who was also his friend. She's in total shock.”

Nick is silent, now he knows why Iza seems hesitant to accept his offer to ta’aruf. Maybe the girl was afraid of being let down again. Nick grabs the phone by the pillow and starts typing Iza messages.

To My Aiming at: : :to My :

Already sleeping?

From My - A.K.A.S.A.: from My - A.K.A.K.A :

Just wanted to, why?

To My Aiming at: : :to My :

Nothing, just checking. Have a nice sleep. I love you.

Nick waited for a while, but there was no reply even though the ash tick had turned blue. He put the phone to the side of the pillow and then laid down his body. Nick starts closing his eyes, trying to close his ears while Arnav is still finding out about Meta from Rivan. Nick's mind was bright, how to conquer Rahadi's heart. Admittedly or not, Iza's father was his biggest obstacle to getting his girlfriend.
