The Nick's Life
Denis Sick

“If you cannot be asked in a good way. Then I'll drag you home!”

Fahrul pulled Maira's hand forcefully until the woman complained of pain. But Fahrul takes care of his ears and continues to pull Maira out of the house. As powerful as Maira tried to escape, but his efforts were in vain. Miss Sarni can't do anything. The woman just looked on anxiously.

At that crucial moment, a motorcycle stopped in front of the house, right in front of the couple. Denis got off his mount immediately. Still wearing his helmet, he forcibly removed Fahrul's grip from Maira and hid the woman behind his body. Denis took off his helmet, his face was upset.

“Don't dare touch Mai again!”

“Mai my wife!! I'm entitled to him!!”

“If you can already be a good husband for him, then you can say that. Mending you go now!”

“Gue won't go without Mai!”

“And I will not be released Mai!”

The two men were faced with already raging emotions. Seeing that the situation is increasingly not conducive, Sarni rushed to find reinforcements. Soon he came with several people, including Dadi.

“What is this Denis? What's uproar?”

“Sorry Mr. Dadi, nothing. This is my husband, he was just coming to see me here,” Maira trying to dampen the hot atmosphere that occurred.

“What is true Denis?”

“Iya, she is indeed Mai's husband. But soon he will leave, because there is still important business to do. Isn't that Rul?”

Fahrul who felt cornered, finally chose to leave. What matters is that he has found Maira's whereabouts. The crowd finally dispersed after Fahrul's departure. Maira, Denis and Ms. Sarni go back inside the house. Denis and Maira sat together in the living room.

“Did he hurt you?”

“Ngga Den, for you quick come. Thanks.”

“It looks like you have to move again. He already knows where you are.”

“Ngga to Den. Wherever I hide, one day we will meet again. Anyway I stay here not to hide but to calm myself.”

“What if he comes again here?”

“I'll face it. Take it easy Den, I'm not that weak. Thank you for your concern.”

“Tonight I will sleep here. I'm afraid that he'll be back.”

“But Den.”

“Take it easy. Ms. Sarni will also stay here, don't worry.”

Maira nodded her head. Denis then stood up and walked into his room. His tired body lay on the bed. Besides being busy with his work, the man was also busy serving the desires of Alfi and Teresa. His body felt crumpled dimly because the two women continued to want to be satisfied by him. Slowly Denis closed his eyes.

🍂🍂🍂

The night began to fall on the earth. Maira and Ms. Sarni are preparing dinner. As per Denis' request, Ms. Sarni is staying to accompany Maira tonight. After all the food was arranged on the table, Maira headed for Denis' room. Since the afternoon, Denis hasn't come out of his room. Slowly Maira knocked on the door of the closed room.

“D... Denis,” call Maira, but there's no inside answer. Maira knocked back on the door.

GECK

GECK

“Den.. eat first yuk.”

Still no answer, Maira called Sarni's mom. After discussing for a while, Maira decided to go into the room accompanied by Sarni's mother. Moving an unlocked door handle. The atmosphere of the room was so dark, Maira turned on the room lights. Denis was lying in bed. Slowly the woman approached.

“Den.. wake up Den, let's eat first.”

There was no reaction from Denis. Maira looked suspiciously, seeing that there were water points on the man's forehead. Ms. Sarni took the initiative to feel Denis' forehead. The woman was shocked, Denis' body was hot.

“It looks like Denis is sick. Body hot mba.”

“I buy medicine first if it is.”

“Let me buy mba. Better to compress Denis.”

Maira nodded, she rushed towards the kitchen to pick up the basin. Fill the basin with warm water, then take a small towel to compress. Maira went back to the room. Before compressing, first dried Denis forehead wet by sweat. Maira put a wet towel over Denis' forehead.

The woman then went to the kitchen to make some sweet tea and get some food. Before long he returned to the room, put a tray containing plates and glasses on the nightstand. Denis who felt a wet object stick to his forehead, slowly opened his eyes.

“Den..” call Maira.

“What is this?”

Denis touched his forehead and then took the small towel from his forehead. Slowly he got up and leaned his back against the headboard. Maira took the towel and put it in the basin.

“You eat first Den. Your body is hot, eat out immediately take medicine.”

Denis just nodded his head weakly. Maira takes the plate, seeing Denis' weak condition, the woman takes the initiative to bribe him. Denis opened his mouth, taking a bribe from Maira.

“Kamu kecapean kaya Den. Better not work tomorrow, just rest first.”

Denis just smiled. His mouth opened again to take a bribe. Since her mother's departure, no one has cared for her when she was ill. There was a happy feeling of seeping in the heart of the man getting attention as well as treatment from Maira.

Maira returns to feed the food but is returned by Denis's gang. The man could only finish half the plate. His tongue was so bitter that there was no pleasure in eating. Maira puts the plate on the nightstand and gets a drink for Denis.

Ms. Sarni came and gave her the medicine she had bought. Maira helps open the medicine pack and gives it to Denis. One gulp, the man swallowed the medicine given.

“Now you change clothes first, it looks like your clothes are wet with sweat.”

Maira picked up the tray and walked out of the room, closing the door. Denis got out of bed and opened the closet. Released the shirt that wrapped his body. There were some red marks all over her chest, the work of Alfie and Teresa. After changing his shirt and pants, Denis again put his body in the mattress.

Just as the man was about to close his eyes, a knock sounded. With a soft voice, Denis asked to enter the outside.the door opened, then Maira went inside. Without speaking, Maira again compresses Denis' forehead. He also covered Denis' body. Due to weakness and sleepiness, Denis fell back to sleep.

🍂🍂🍂

The sunlight entering through the window makes the empu eyes that are still closing disturbed by the light. Slowly Denis' eyelids opened, his eyes squinting around his room. His gaze immediately came to a halt at the wall clock that showed at nine in the morning.

Denis woke up from his sleep. He sat down briefly at the side of the bed to collect the remains of the life that had not fully returned. Then he stood up, took a towel from the closet and put his foot out. There was no one at home, Denis went to the bathroom.

It didn't take long for Denis to clean up. With a towel wrapped around his waist, the man came out of the bathroom. Fortunately, the house was still empty, he rushed into the room.

While messing with her hair that was still wet, Denis grabbed the phone that was on the nightstand. His hand unlocked the phone code then looked at the rows of missed calls and also the piled up messages. Some of the messages came from his workplace and the rest were messages from Alfie as well as Teresa.

Denis' finger continued to scan a row of messages sent by Teresa. The woman said she was going to Paris for a week. He also said he had sent stamina-boosting vitamins to Denis' apartment. The man only smiled lightly reading a message from Teresa.

Then he read a message from Alfie. The woman constantly asked for her whereabouts. In contrast to Teresa who understood him very well, Alfi tended to be selfish. He always demands to be satisfied, whenever and wherever the woman wants him. Even he did not care about Denis condition whether he was fit or not. Denis' finger moved to reply to Alfi's message of wanting to meet him.

To Aunty Alfi :

Sorry tan, I'm not feeling well anymore. I want to rest today.

From Aunty Alfi :

Where are you now?

To Aunty Alfi :

There was no reply from Alfie. Denis put the phone on the nightstand and then he went out of the room. His stomach was already rumbling demanding to be filled something. Denis stepped into the kitchen, where Maira was moving food into a container.

Seeing the presence of Denis, the woman brought a bowl containing ketupat vegetables that she bought earlier and put it on the dining table. Denis pulled up the dining chair and sat himself there.

“Breakfast first Den, I bought ketupat greens.”

“Still Mai.”

Denis grabs a bowl of vegetable rhombus and eats it voraciously. A glass of warm sweet tea Maira offered him. Maira then sat down near Denis.

“You don't have breakfast?”

“Udah earlier.”

“Mana Sarni's bu?”

“Again to market. Vegetarian subscriber does not sell, so to the market.”

Denis only beards while continuing to eat. Maira smiled looking at Denis who was eating so voraciously. Seeing Denis reminds her of her first brother, Faqih. Denis' attitude and speech style are similar to Faqih, perhaps that makes Maira quickly familiar with Denis.

“Assalamu’alaikum.”

Maira's daydreams fell apart when she heard a voice say hello. The woman stood up then walked towards the living room while answering her greetings. Her smile expands when the door of the house opens. Ayura and Azka were standing at the door.

“Yeah Ay, I thought you jokingly said you wanted to come here.”

“Truly, I'd like to see how you are.”

“Come in.”

Ayura entered the house while leading Azka. Maira invited her friend to sit down. This morning when Maira asked permission not to teach, Ayura did ask her the address she was staying at.

“What pain do you have Mai?”

“Not me, but Denis.”

“Ooohh.”

Azka tugged at the headscarf that Ayura was wearing, making the woman turn towards the child. The boy then handed him a white plastic bag containing the toy he had just bought.

“Open,” the door on Ayura.

Her mother also obeyed her wishes. Azka happily sat on the floor trying to assemble toys of the new cars he bought.

“Oh yes Mai, I want to ngingetin, in two weeks there is an event at school. Family time event that, you follow me.”

“In Shaa Allah. Kaya aja small children ask ditemenin.”

“I males dapet gaze not good plus nyinyinyiran parents students. They're rich in fear that I'm flirting with their husbands. Emang ya have the status of the widow is not very good. Serba wrong deh.”

“Abis his beautiful widow is rich you are natural that they are insecure,” Maira laughs softly.

“But they will be more insecure with you if you get divorced. You will be a tingting widow,” Ayura chuckles to herself hearing her words.

Denis, who was still eating his breakfast, stole the two women's conversation. The second conversation was stopped by Azka's whining that could not string her toys together. Denis stood up from his seat and then stepped his foot into the living room.

“Ehem.”

“Eh Den.. know this Ayura, my friend.”

Ayura who was helping Azka string the toy raised her head towards Denis. He cupped his hands together while smiling. Denis just nodded his head then sat down on one of the empty couches.

“Mama.. how is it?”

“Mama also does not know how. Try mom read first.”

Ayura picked up the wrapping cardboard and then read how to assemble the toy car. Taken one by one the frame of the car then try to arrange it. Denis notices Ayura who has been stringing for too long and gets Azka's protection.

“You want to help?” bargain Denis.

Azka raised her head looking towards Denis then nodded her head. Denis got up from his seat then picked up the scattered toys. He takes Azka to the porch, they arrange the toys there. Ayura returned to her seat.

“So that's Denis. I did not think that his face resembled a Korean oppa-oppa hihihi.”

“Emang I've never told ya. But he's your type, you're a fan of drakor.”

“Although busy mothers are lonely if not watching drakor,” Ayura again laughed.

“Eh tumbenan Azka can be directly familiar with people who are newly known.”

“Iya yes. usually children like hard if the same people who just met. But Denis can be so familiar. Cieee..nih natural code,” god Maira.

“What the hell is Mai, so gaje you.”

“Eh want to drink what?”

“What's there outin all.”

Maira laughed at the words of her friend. He immediately went to the kitchen to make a drink. Meanwhile, Ayura continues to pay attention to the boy who looks happy because Denis managed to string toys for him.

Nick leaned his back against his chair. Four days ago, he was back at work. Today all employees are made to bother with the general meeting of shareholders. The plan is to replace the new director. Rumors are circulating, the position will be filled by the daughter of Sakurta, the largest shareholder in this hotel.

Nick himself did not bother with the change of leadership throne. He was not the type of sycophant who was willing to do anything to raise his position. For him his ability and skill at work is the main thing.

Nick's daydream is broken when a message from Iza comes in. His girlfriend told him that Rahardi was waiting for him at home tonight. Nick's heart cheered reading the message. The awaited moment finally arrived as well. Nick's plan to apply for Iza after returning from the hospital had to be delayed because Rahardi had to attend a seminar outside the city for three days.

“Nick..You are called Mr. Hilman.”

Ranti's words pulled Nick from his daydream. He quickly stood up then rushed towards the general manager's room. After knocking on the door and hearing the answer from inside, Nick walked into the room. He pulled a chair in front of Hilman's desk.

“How are you doing Nick?”

“Good sir.”

“Hmm.. You must have heard that Mr. Hartono has been replaced by Amelia's mother as director.”

“Iya sir.”

“And the first task that bu Amelia gave me was to fire you.”
