The Nick's Life
Chaos

“You mean, your mother is now the mistress of these three men?”

Both Nick and Iza were shocked to hear Rahardi's words. The same thing happened to Mina. The woman took the photos on the table and watched them one by one.

“Why silence? Can't answer because it's all true, is it?” rahardi.

“Mommy did have a relationship with them, but now it's over.”

“Nick is right bi, now mommy Nick is no longer related to all those men,” Iza justifies Nick's words.

“You know but just shut up? You know what her mother did was wrong, an act of adultery her name! Could you cover this up, where's your common sense?”

Rahardi's emotions are provoked so know that Iza already knows about Diah's lunge. Rahardi's dislike of Nick deepens when he finds out Diah is a mistress.

“But it's all over bi. Mommy Diah has repented.”

“Treatment? Most also penyambal.”

“Astaghfirullahaladziim. abi.”.

Mina immediately rebuked her husband. The woman is not inexhaustible with the mind of this companion of her life. Since her husband earned his professorship, Rahardi's way of thinking has become increasingly arrogant. Many times he tried to remind but the husband always flinch.

“Sorry to om. I admit that my family is not everyone's dream family. But as a child, I was proud of my mommy. She struggled alone raising me without family support.”

“And raised you with illicit money? I don't love, how many haram items have entered your body.”

Nick's hands clenched tightly, as much as he could withhold the emotion that was bubbling up inside his chest. Iza glanced at Nick's hand whose books looked white, so tight he clenched his hands.

“As a parent, I am not willing to let go of my child on a person whose family background is unclear. Your mother did a lot of embarrassing things, raised a child by being a mistress of married men, do you realize that? And you still have a face approaching my son and want to marry him? Iza is too good to be the daughter-in-law of a mistress.”

“Om..” Nick stood up from his seat, surprising Iza as well as Mina. His jaw seemed to harden, his face was reddened to hold back the anger that was about to explode.

“Good bad mommy, she remains my mother. Om has no right to insult mommy. I accept that om insult or hate me, but I do not accept that om insult my mommy.”

“Then leave Iza! You don't deserve him!”

Rahardi came to his feet, now the two men of different generations are standing face to face. Their eyes stared at each other in anger. Nick can not be patient anymore to face the arrogant attitude of Rahardi. Iza stood up to calm her lover.

“Nick.”

“I go home Zi, assalamu’alaikum.”

With an angry heart, Nick came out of the house. Iza immediately caught up with the man and stopped him as he was about to enter the car.

“Nick. please sorry Abi.”

“Sorry Zi. I don't care if abi insulted me but abi has insulted mommy, my mommy Zi!”

Nick's tone of voice rose, signaling the deep anger the man felt. Iza's eyes dewy looking at Nick who was burning with anger.

“I went Zi. Maybe you and I are not a match.”

Without waiting for an answer from Iza, Nick gets in the car. Iza was only able to get glued in place, looking at Nick's car that left him. Iza's body felt limp as the man's departure. He fell down crouching with tears falling.

Nick drove his vehicle fast. His chest was still rumbling violently, holding back the anger that had not fully come out yet. If you do not remember Rahardi is the father of the woman he loves, maybe the man was already battered by him.

Meanwhile, Mina comes out of the house to look for Iza who never entered. The woman found the child squatting while crying. Lovingly, Mina grabs Iza's shoulder and helps her stand up. Slowly, he guided Iza into the house.

“Starting tomorrow, abi won't see you in touch with the boy again.”

“Mana got the face I met with Nick after what abi told him. Abi satisfied?”

Iza immediately ran upstairs and went into her room. Plunged his body into the bed. She buried her face into the pillow, her crying broke again. His struggle with Nick must be stopped just because of Rahardi's selfishness and arrogant attitude. Seeing the anger on Nick's face, the girl felt her dream of fostering a common household slowly start to drift away.

Mina approached her husband who was still sitting in his place. Rahardi's feelings are relieved now, can get rid of Nick from his son's life. Whoever sent the photo, he was very grateful. Now only how to make Iza want to accept matchmaking with Shehan.

“Abi.”

Mina's call draws Rahardi's consciousness. The man looked at the wife who was sitting nearby. Judging from her face, it was obvious Mina was showing disappointment to him. But he must not fail, this is for the good and happiness of Iza.

“What abi not outrageous?”

“How to? Abi thought what abi did was only natural. Do ummi want to have a mistress besan? Want to put where our faces are?”

“Our son will marry Nick, not his mother. After all, Iza and Nick said, her mother has changed. Should abi be proud, Iza can turn Nick into a good man and Nick can wake his mother from mistakes. Not insulting him like that.”

“Are you sure they really changed? Who knows if their penitent is only penance sambal.”

“Then how can abi conclude that their penitent is only penance sambal? Remember bi, abi it is not God who can know how a person's future. At least abi should see how Nick's process of trying to be a better human being. We are all actually still in process until now, the end result will be in the final jaumul. As long as humans live, they are in process.

Abi see how Iza is happy lately? The smile that had disappeared finally appeared again. But now with a strait abi destroyed it again. Ummi does not have grandiose dreams, just want to see my two children happy, that is enough.”

Mina sat down from her seat then went into the room.Seeing Rahardi's stubborn demeanor, making her growled by herself. In order to get rid of the frustration, the woman chose to leave. Only Rahardi who still contemplates the words of his wife. It is true that lately his daughter is smiling more and looking happy. But in addition, Iza also often argue, refute his words and it's all because of Nick. Rahardi took a deep breath, no matter what, he felt the decision was right.

🍂🍂🍂

Nick drove his vehicle to a cafe in Kuningan. Arnav just sent me a message that they're gathering there. In order to get rid of the allotment, the man chose to meet with his friends.

It didn't take long for Nick to get to that place. The atmosphere of the cafe is starting to get crowded. This cafe is never empty of visitors, in addition to the delicious taste of the food on the tongue, the facilities in this cafe are also quite complete. In addition to wifi, this cafe also provides billiards table, football table and virtual games. Plus, this cafe also provides a variety of famous brand liquor.

Nick approached Arnav and Abe who was playing billiards. He threw a body on the sofa that was nearby. Denis was already there, the man only noticed Arnav and Abe were playing. Soon the two sat on the couch after Arnav won the game. A waiter came to serve a drink Arnav had ordered. Three bottles of b*r and three cans of fizzy drink are arranged on the table.

Arnav opened the bottle of b*r and then poured it into three glasses. He took one glass of b*r and then gulped it down. Denis and Abe did the same. Only Nick chooses soft drinks.

“Lo want to drink? Tar I pesenin again,” said Arnav.

“Ngga.. I've stopped drinking.”

“Alhamdulillah,” Arnav raised both his hands.

“Why lo? A really tangled face. Abis fight ama Iza?” ask Abe.

“Not Iza, most abinya Iza. Beuuhh if you meet the same camernya Nick, can pee standing lo,” sambar Arnav.

Abe chuckled at the words of his best friend. Unlike Nick who is still loyal to keep his mouth shut. The man continued to drink in his hand.

“Fahrul where?” ask Nick.

“Out of hanging out Mai,” chirps Denis.

“Not yet. Sarni said, every day there are people who come to my house. No morning, noon, malem, already rich taking medicine. But Mai's rich still don't want to go home.”

“Ya great. Fahrul has not killed Reisa. Yesterday I met him again along the road with Reisa,” said Abe.

“In the meantime also ease them,” connect Denis.

“Yakin? Emang si Fahrul said want hope ama Reisa?”

Denis just shrugged his shoulders hearing Abe's question. Long live, the person being talked about came as well. But Fahrul's face was far from friendly. The man's expression was like he was going to eat people. He approached his friends and pulled Denis's shirt until he stood up from his seat.

“Fuck lo! What do you mean Deketin Reisa hah?!!”

Everyone there was surprised to see Fahrul's reaction. Quickly, Arnav and Abe immediately broke up the two. Fahrul released the clutches of Denis' shirt and slammed the brown envelope he had been carrying.

“You saw the jerk's behavior!!”

A curious Abe took the envelope and opened it. He is surprised to see the photos containing Denis's picture along with Reisa. A photo of Denis and Reisa kissing, a photo of the two exiting the bar and the moment they entered the hotel room.

Arnav snatches the photos out of Abe's hands. He was also surprised to see the picture. The man immediately looked at Denis, who seemed to be sitting on the sofa. No guilt at all. This succeeded in re-igniting the anger of Fahrul. But Abe swiftly held him back.

“Lo likes Reisa huh? That's why you keep asking me to break him up. Answer anj*ng!!”

“Suka no but if curious yes. I wonder what it feels like for Reisa until you don't want to let her go. It turns out.. just ordinary, it's already loose.”

Denis' answer clearly re-ignited Fahrul's anger. He removed Abe's grip and then pushed forward toward Denis. Retracting the shirt Denis wore, forcing the man to stand up.

BUGH

A punch landed on Denis' face. Fahrul was about to throw his punch again, but his hand was held back by Denis, then his other hand punched Fahrul's stomach until the man retreated a few steps back.

“Woi!! Couldn't say it's okay!!” abe's successful shout attracted the attention of some visitors.

“He's rich man doesn't need to talk to you again!!”

Fahrul came back, and so did Denis. The two faced each other with positions gripping each other's clothes. Arnav and Abe desperately try to separate them. But the two compactly pushed his best friend and then sent each other a punch again.

Shouts of visitors were heard immediately when the brawl occurred. Nick who had been silent began to react. His chaotic mind grew increasingly unwilling to see his best friend's fight. He stood up then approached Fahrul as well as Denis.

BUGH

BUGH

Two consecutive hits were given to Fahrul as well as Denis. Suddenly Arnav and Abe are surprised to see Nick actually join the fight.

“Lo both have no brains?!! Just because girls don't matter you guys make a rich gini fuss!! Rul. of coursein lo attitude, divorce Mai or stayin Reisa! And elo, Den. stop meddling in Fahrul's business! Fuck you both!!”

Nick soon passes leaving his four best friends who are still confused to see his attitude just now. Intentions want to calm the heart and mind, it actually worsens his mood. But at least he can vent the anger he had been holding back.

Denis rubbed the corner of his bloody lips. He pulled something out of his pants pocket. Then threw the usb he had taken at Fahrul. Fahrul's reflex captures a small object given by his best friend.

“If not for the sake of elo and Mai, my unclean must sleep with Reisa. I got a bonus for Elo. I unplug.”

Denis downed half a bottle of beer and left. Fahrul was silent looking at the flash in his hand. Arnav takes the usb and pulls out his phone. He immediately connected a usb that could be directly connected to the phone.

Arnav asks Fahrul and Abe to sit down with him. He then opened the file contained in the usb. There is only one file containing audio recordings. Arnav played the tape.

Fahrul's jaw hardened, his hands clenched tightly to hear a recording of Denis talking to Reisa the other day. Arnav Abe was also surprised, but they were actually able to guess the affair of his best friend's lover.

Fahrul cremated soda cans until they are no longer shaped. Anger, anger and disappointment hit him together. It turns out that women who are so loved and adored no more think of it as a walking atm.

“Well.. Now you know, which diamond is a coral stone,” Abe chirped.

Fahrul cut his hair rough. Millions of regrets hit him. Just because of a woman like Reisa, she had already wasted a good and loyal wife like Maira. There were yells of annoyance at the man many times. Arnav could only pat his best friend on the shoulder without being able to speak.

🍂🍂🍂

After the dawn prayer, Nick picked up the carrier bag he had prepared last night. He checked back the things he was carrying. Tent, sleeping bag, flashlight, portable stove, gas hi cook, small pot, multipurpose folding knife, power bank, change of clothes, holster, prayer mat, medicines and food stuff have gone into his bag.

Nick changed his clothes. A shirt without a collar, jeans and a jacket was already attached to his body. While carrying Nick's carrier bag out of his room. When she was wearing shoes, Diah came out of the room. His forehead creased to see Nick who was ready to leave. His eyes glanced at the carrier bag that was beside the sofa.

“Where are you going Nick?”

“I want camping mom. I haven't been up a mountain for a long time.”

“Whose name?”

“Self.”

“Owny? No one else is coming?”

Nick laughed softly at mommy's question. He finished wearing shoes and then stood up. He held both shoulders of Diah who was still waiting for an answer from him.

“Mom. Your son is now unemployed status, so free to say aja.”

“Which mountain are you going to?” ask Diah worried.

“Yang deket-deket aja mom. To mount Salak.”

Nick picked up his bag and then carried it behind his burly back. He then grabbed Diah's hand, kissing the back of his hand.

“I went yes mom.”

“How long have you been going?”

“At most week mom.”

“Be careful yes.”

“Iya mom. Assalamu’alaikum.”

“Waalaikumsalam.”

Nick kissed Diah's cheek before leaving. Then get out of the apartment unit. Diah was only stunned to see her son's back disappear behind the door. His heart felt that something was wrong with Nick.
