The Nick's Life
Back to Fighting
“Nyari Iza's. Iza escaped from home.”
“iza escaped? Where?”
“Where do I know. If I know means his name he's no longer a picnic not a runaway.”
Nick got out of his seat and picked up a phone he hadn't touched lately. Seen a message from Iza that he left unread. Nick tries to contact Iza, but the phone is off.
“Lo actually has a problem what is the same Iza?”
Nick still hasn't answered Denis's question. He again tried to contact Iza who was again connected to the ballot box. The man then contacted Rivan, but not much information was obtained. Likewise with Meta who does not know about the departure of his best friend.
Nick's feelings are erratic, regretting it felt like he had ignored Iza. He then went into the room. Denis followed his best friend, saw Nick was packing his things.
“Where are you going?”
“Nyari Iza.”
“Tomorrow, tired of me,” Denis put his back on the bed.
“Let me drive.”
“Not that problem, but try to think. Where do you want to find Iza?” Denis re-enforced his body.
“Rivan same Meta don't know where he is. Do you want to come up with that? Even more problems. Mending tomorrow we go, while looking for information about him. If you panic is not clear gini, there is even a problem added runyam.”
Nick stops his activities, what Denis says is true if it is impossible to also look for Iza without knowing where to look. Especially when the day has night.
“Mending to mommy phone. Btw I laper, you no food no?”
“There are instant noodles equal telor.”
“Serve from ngga.”
Denis got up from his seat and walked into the kitchen. He quickly boiled water, to make instant boiled noodles. It did not take long for him to finish the most popular cuisine among students and boarding children. Denis placed the bowl still steaming its steam on the table. Just smelling the scent alone made his stomach kink.
Denis pulled the chair while putting a glass filled with water then he began to enjoy instant noodles chicken onion taste made. Soon Nick comes over after informing Diah of his whereabouts.
“Lo actually has the same problem Iza?” Denis asked again because the question had not been answered by Nick.
“Not the same Iza, but the same bokapnya. I sniffed her ngehina mommy. I don't know where she got the info about mommy. What is clear is that she knows that mommy was once a mistress of three people at once.”
“Well keep the relationship with Iza what? He's the one who didn't talk about Iza. Lagian Iza also has no problem with the status of mommy. Even he also looks familiar and affectionate same mommy. You marry me the same Iza is not the bokapnya, cuekin ajalah.”
“Yes can't do that either. I don't like Iza's book as good as ngehina cheap mommy. He has no right to judge mommy because he does not know the sacrifice mommy made me great. And I broke up to end it all. I can't tolerate Iza's arrogant and pretentious attitude anymore.”
“Kor if you're angry, I might even kick that guy up if you hear him. But do not let you give up anyway, that's what bokapnya Iza want. You have walked so far, there have been many positive things you achieved while with Iza. Are you willing to encourage your life, the lights of your path finally belong to someone else? Can you see him with other men? Ask it to yourself before you cutusin split with him,” Denis pointed Nick chest.
Nick was silent in his best friend's words. The atmosphere momentarily became silent, only the sound of Denis shavings when spending his instant noodles. Their silence stopped when Denis' phone rang. At first glance the man glanced at the square object, seen the name of Aunt Alfi on the cellphone screen. Denis answered the call.
“Halo.”
“Halo darling. Aunt kangen. Can I see you tonight?”
“Sorry aunt, I'm again in villa.”
“Hmm... How about tomorrow? Let's meet at the top.”
“I'm sorry aunt couldn't. Tomorrow I have a need that can't be left. Next time aja aunty.”
“Yah.. you tuh, even though aunty kangen loh. Aunty has not satisfied you for a long time.”
“Sorry aunt, sorry yes.”
Without saying anything else, Alfi immediately decided on the call. It seems that the woman was disappointed with Denis' rejection. But Denis instead ignored him, lately he has begun to saturate his activities satisfying lonely aunts such as Alfi and Teresa.
“Tante Alfi?” ask Nick.
“Hmm.”
“If you want to meet, nothing. Tomorrow I can find Iza myself.”
“Ngga. Again my males. I will stop being their mistress, bored and fed up with my being a slave *** them.”
“Lo is healthy right? No more jinn on the road?” Nick held Denis' forehead which was immediately brushed aside by the man.
“Apaan hell lo! I'm serious about this. Look elo, mommy, I want to change too. Even Arnav was willing to change for Meta. Abe will also be married again, Fahrul kanya already regretted and will reverse Mai. My time is gini-gini. I also want your rich, have a partner, fight dapetin chick.”
“Alhamdulillah. finally my best friend insyaf as well. Do you have any inceran now? Don't tell me you have a crush on Mai.”
“Crazy lo! Yes, it's not. I just feel sympathy for him. See him ngingetin me the same late nyokap. I really just want to help doang, nothing more. In fact, I want to see Mai back the same Fahrul. Tuh the bahlul is actually good, only yesterday again the devil's welcome Reisa aja.”
“Yes too anyway. But you really don't have that inceran?”
“Not yet.so want nyari too anyway. My boss is the same aunt-ante mulu, hahaha.”
“Hopefully you will find a suitable girl and can nerima lo as is.”
“That's what I'm afraid of, too. Will there be a girl who wants to accept all my black past.”
“There must be, only you haven't met the person just now. What matters now is that you changed into a better person. Cut off all your relationships with the aunts.”
“Iya anyway. if aunt Tere, the person is relaxed. How many times did he say he would back off if I already had a girl. It's only Alfie's aunt who made me a fan. She tuh nempel mulu rich gum.”
“Hahaha.. suffer lo it anyway.”
“Sue lo!”
Denis laughed too. The two of them kept talking about many things. Including the possibilities of where Iza went. And what plans will they make tomorrow to find Iza's whereabouts.
🍂🍂🍂
Nick stuffed his carrier bag into the trunk of the car. This morning, she and Denis are preparing to return to Jakarta. Although they have not found the bright spot of the existence of Iza, but they decided to return first. Even Nick had contacted his friend who became a lecturer Iza, but the man did not know the whereabouts of the student.
Nick had just closed the trunk door when his phone rang. For a moment he was silent looking at the line of numbers that contacted him, an unknown number. With hesitation, Nick answered the call.
“Assalamu’alaikum, Nick, this is with ummi.”
“Oh ummi, waalaikumsalam.”
“Have you heard of Iza?”
“Iya ummi's. I want to find out where he is, sorry if I just found out ummi.”
“Now where are you?”
“Me again in Leuwiliang ummi.”
“Please pick up Iza yes. He was again at his money house, in the Cisarua area, precisely in Cilember.”
“What is true ummi? Then let me pick up.”
“Please persuade him to come home yes. Ummi will send you her address. Thanks Nick, sorry for the trouble. Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam.”
Nick's heart was relieved after talking to ummi. He called Denis and took him away. A message containing the address where Iza is now in. Without waiting for long, Nick immediately drove the vehicle to the Cilember area.
After almost two hours of driving, Nick arrived in the Cilember area. Several times he asked where the address was. Armed with the name Rahman given ummi, the man managed to get information about his home. Nick stopped his car in front of a large house.
“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam.”
I heard the answer from inside the house. Before long a middle-aged woman came out to greet them. Winny was stunned for a moment to see two handsome men in front of her house.
“Who is ambu?”
The woman was stunned when she heard the voice of her husband who was already nearby. Nick and Denis threw smiles at the couple.
“Sorry.. With whom? Are you tourists who want to curug Cilember?” ask Rahman.
“iza? Oh. Surely one of you has a Nick name. You're not?”
Rahman pointed at Nick who was only answered with a nod. Knowing Nick is coming, the man warmly welcomes his arrival. He immediately asked Nick and Denis to come in. Winny also immediately made drinks and brought snacks for his guests.
“Euleuh geningan candidate Iza meni casep (apparently the candidate Iza handsome),” praise Winny while putting the luggage on the table.
“Upami nu ieu saha? Jiga Korean artist,” Winny pointed towards Denis.
“This is my friend Denis.”
Denis reached out his hand and said his name. Winny was not stopping looking at Denis, the man was like a Korean drama actor who often watched. Rahman nudged the wife's unblinking arm to look at Denis.
“Udah oruh ummi worried about him, right abah so jealous,” sloroh Rahman.
“Bah mah. Teu eras ka serf ngora, make jealous sagala (plague is not ashamed of young people, use all jealousy).”
Rahman immediately laughed at the words of his wife, as well as Nick and Denis who actually did not really understand Sundanese, but they could catch the meaning of the words of the middle-aged woman.
“Where do you know that Iza is here?”
“From ummi.”
“Hmm.. Mina seems to like you yes, until she wants to tell her son whereabouts.”
“Alhamdulillah, ummi believe in me, om.”
“Do not call om, just call abah and ambu.”
“Feel rich Kabayan call abah and ambu,” chirped Denis.
“Iya yes. if Nick, Kabayan, means Iza, Nyie Iteungya atuh hahaha.”
Laughter is all heard just like hearing Rahman's babble. Nick is grateful for Rahman's welcome to him being so warm. He was worried that Rahman's attitude would be the same as Rahardi's.
“Which age is bah?”
“Iza again take a walk to the same waterfall Rina. Soon to be home.”
“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam.”
Long live, the person being talked about arrived. Rina and Iza, who had just returned from the waterfall, went straight into the house after greeting. Iza is shocked to see Nick and Denis.
“Nick.”
“Zi.”
“Nick.. Denis, this is Rina abah.”
Lina cupped her hands together in front of Nick and Denis. Then the girl sat down next to Winny who was followed by Iza. The atmosphere was silent for a moment, Iza was still overwhelmed by confusion, how Nick could get to Rahman's residence.
“Nah since the permission has arrived. Please speak up and solve your problems well. Abah wants to go to the garden first.”
“Ambu also want to cook. Neng, you take his friend Nick for a walk. But be careful not to be taken to your tea house, later suspected Korean artist,” Winny giggled amusedly.
“Akang want to take a walk to the waterfall?”
“Hmm. Can if not ngerepotin.”
“Ngga atuh, hayu kang. If later here, we are just a room freshener aja.”
Denis chuckled, then got up from his seat. He followed the steps of Rina who had already left the house first. So did the ambu who had gone to the kitchen. Iza and Nick stay in the room.
“We chat in saung aja yes.”
Iza stood up then stepped her feet towards the backyard. Without asking, Nick followed the girl's steps. They then sat themselves in a saung made of bamboo and the roof was made of woven coconut leaves. The atmosphere was silent for a moment, neither Nick nor Iza knew where to start the conversation from.
“Zi.. Why did you run away from home?” nick finally started the conversation.
“I'm disappointed with abi. I am not strong enough to live in abi's rules and constraints. I'm mutusin to leave. Do you know where I'm from?”
“Ummi.. earlier ummi phone and ask me to pick you up.”.
“Sorry Nick, it's been troubling you. But I don't want to go home, I want to be here until bang Ridho comes home. I promise to take me away from home.”
“Zi.. running away from home like this does not solve the problem, but instead adds a new problem.”
“I know, but I still don't want to go home. You better go, Nick, sorry for making you come all the way here. Forgive ummi who has troubled you. But I'm fine here, and I'm happy to stay here. You better go home. I don't want Abi to blame you again. We have no relationship anymore, so you have no obligation or responsibility to me.”
Nick was shocked to hear Iza's words. It is wrong to just end their relationship because of emotions. But now he realized that he should not give up.
“Zi. sorry about what I said back then.”
“I should be sorry that Abi hurt your feelings. I don't know where Abi got the information from, I was also surprised to see abi's reaction. Again I'm sorry. You're right, maybe we're not fools. From now on we live each other's lives. I hope you meet someone who loves you and his family accepts you well mommy too.”
To be honest, Iza's feelings hurt when she said it all. His heart still hopes to be with Nick, continuing his dream of building a household with him.
“Zi.. did you give up?”
“You gave up, did you forget? I just follow your wishes, I also do not want you to continue to be insulted by Abi. I should have seen your struggles, not just your bad side. But it turns out it was just wishful thinking.”
“Zi. let's go home. Let's find this solution together.”
“I don't want to. I'm no longer strong against abi's authoritarian attitude. I'd better be here until Ridho bang home.”
“If you're here, then what about me? How do I convince abi that the person I fight for doesn't exist.”
Iza turned her head towards Nick. For a moment their views met and locked each other.
“Sorry Zi. if yesterday I was carried away by emotions. Sorry if I ignored you. But I just wanted to calm my mind. Rethinking our relationship. When I heard you ran away from home and I lost track of you, I realized that I couldn't end all this. I don't want to lose you. Let's fight again Zi. I'll try harder to get your brother's blessing. If we give up, Abi would be happy because the goal is to separate us. Let's go home Zi, show Abi that our relationship isn't as weak as he thought. If we are serious about this relationship and I will also prove that I am more than worthy to be your companion.”
“But I don't want abi to hurt your feelings again.”
“I'll hold it. This time I will be more patient. My feelings of love and affection are deeper than the pain that Abi gave me. So please, let's go home. Let's start again everything.”
“Are you sure Nick? Aren't you going to regret it?”
“I'll be sorry if it stops just like that.”
“Good.I'm going home, let's fight together again. But this time do it my way, do you agree?”
“What way?”
“Later after you get home from the garden, I'll tell you. We need weapons to deal with the abi, and I've found the right weapons to fight the abi. You believe me, right?”
“Iya, I trust you.”
Iza smiled happily at Nick's reply. The smile that had disappeared the last few days, finally adorned her beautiful face again. Likewise with Nick, his happiness and spirit that had been lost finally came back again.
“Zi.. I miss you.”
“Miss you too.”
“Don't disappear without news again ya.”
“You too.”
“Iya dear, sorry.”
BLUSHES
Iza's face flushed to hear the affection from Nick's lips. The girl lowered her head. Without both of them knowing, Winny had noticed from behind the kitchen window. The heart of the woman was happy to see the happiness face of both.
