The Nick's Life
The real puppeteer

Fahrul took the big rock that was there. With both hands he raised the stone with all his might Fahrul swung the stone in his hand to Obet's head. Only a few seconds left the stone hit his head, Obet shouted loudly.

“ALEX!!”

The movement of Fahrul stopped, only a little more the big stone hit the head of Obet. He casually threw the stone to the side, then gripped the Obet T-shirt.

“Who did you say?”

“Alex.he told me.”

“Who is Alex?”

“Gue doesn't know. I swear I don't know. I only know his name is Alex.”

Fahrul let go of his grip. Anxiously kicked by the small stone that was nearby. Even though they hit Obet, they still hit a dead end. Nick approaches Obet and crouches nearby.

“Where did Alex initially tell you to mukulin Denis?”

“He who called me. He was just giving me a picture of Denis and asking me to teach Denis a lesson. But I got to meet him and finally we met once.”

“Then call him again, say that Denis is in a coma and you ask him for extra payment. Can?” Nick patted Obet's jaw quite tight.

“Bi. can.”

Grimacing withstanding the pain all over his body, Obet took the phone from his pants pocket. He called Alex's number he had saved. After a short talk with Alex, the man ended his call.

“Where?”

“Tomorrow I will meet him in Old Town.”

“What time?”

“Sorean said.”

“Good. Take him to a quiet place, then let us-we take care,” Nick back to slap Obet's jaw.

“Awas aja lo dare to run away and not take us to meet Alex. I will pursue you anywhere,” threatened Fahrul.

“Iya bang, yes.”

Nick, Fahrul, Abe and Arnav soon leave Obet and his friends still sprawled. Subsequently, the Cyclone's men will watch over Obet and report to them.

Teresa, who heard about Denis, rushed to the hospital. Although she has decided to end the relationship, the woman still cares about her former bedmate. Without knocking on the door, Teresa immediately entered the room. He was surprised to see Diah waiting for Denis who was asleep.

“Who are you?” ask Diah.

“I Teresa. I'm here to see Denis. How is he doing?”

“His spine is bruised, his stomach is also injured, in some parts of his body there are also bruises. He has to take a complete break to recover his condition,” explained Diah.

Theresa's body was exhausted by Diah's explanation. He almost fell if Diah didn't catch his body. The woman then took Teresa to sit on the sofa. He could already guess that the woman he was with was one of the people who made Denis his pet.

“What's your relationship with Denis?” ask Teresa.

“I, Diah. My son, Nick is his best friend. I've considered Denis, my own son.”

“Ooh.”

That was all that came out of Teresa's mouth. She was ashamed of herself for thinking that Diah was one of the women who used Denis services. The woman looked back at the weakly lying Denis.

“Who has made it like this?”

“Not yet know. My son and his friends are looking for the man who beat him up. I know Denis has no enemies.”

“Could be it alfi.”

“Alfi?”

“Iya. she... same as me. You know.. me and Denis.”

“Yes I know you mean.”

“Denis told me he wanted to change. He ended the relationship with me as well as Alfie. But it seems that Alfi could not accept it. It's possible that Alfi sent people to beat up Denis.”

“Can be you too right?”

Teresa was quite surprised to hear Diah's accusations against her. Diah just smiled faintly at Teresa's reaction.

“Sorry that I offended you. Everyone who has ever been close to Denis could be a suspect. I also don't want to guess. Soon we'll know who the real culprit is. And if it turns out that Alfi is behind all this, then he must be ready to face me. The same thing I told you. If it turns out you caused Denis like this, I won't let you go either.”

Teresa swallowed her saliva. Diah's stressed words and her intimidating gaze no doubt made the woman unkind as well. After seeing Denis, Teresa decided to go home.

🍂🍂🍂

At five in the afternoon, Nick and the others had already gathered in the Old City. They immediately headed for the location that Obet had given them. On request, Obet invites to meet Alex in a place far from the crowd. They waited a few meters from where Obet was waiting for Alex.

After ten minutes of waiting, their target finally came as well. A man of their age approached Obet. From the clothes worn by the man, it is clear that Alex comes from a rich family. But none of Denis' four best friends recognized Alex.

Alex arrives near Obet. He took off the glasses that perched on his nose. He was quite surprised to see Obet's battered face. Obet asks Alex to sit next to him.

“You're sure that Denis is in a coma?” ask Alex.

“If you don't believe, just look for yourself to the hospital.”

“How much do you want to make the bonus? By the way, why lo face?”

“Gue don't need your money. I just want to see you doang. And my face, Denis's friends who've made me this way. Be careful bro, I just want to say it's aja.”

Obet patted Alex on the shoulder and then moved from his seat. As soon as Alex's face became tense, he began to be wary. His eyes began to stretch around. Seeing his prey about to flee, Nick and the others immediately approached.

Alex's steps come to a standstill when four unidentified men block his steps. The man was locked in the middle because Nick and the others did not give the slightest gap for the man to escape.

“Who are you?”

“I should have asked. Is there a grudge you same Denis until someone tells him to mukulin him?” ask Abe.

“Oh.. lo his friend b*the bastard.”

“Who do you call a bastard huh?!!”

Fahrul who could not hold his emotions immediately threw a punch to Alex's face, making the man fall down. He was about to hit her again, but Nick held her back. Alex immediately stood up while wiping the corner of his bloody lips.

“Do you know that your friend is nothing more than a gig*lo who hitchhikes life from a woman who has a family!!” alex's tone sounded emotional.

“Rese nih people, really ask to be beaten!!” Fahrul was about to push forward, but again Nick held him back.

“Lo Tere's aunt, right?” guess Nick.

“Bravo.. bravo.” Alex clapped his hands.

“Lo can know I mean you know what your profession is. Are you not as professional as hahahaha.” he continued.

“Denger.. Before you turn on people, you better ask nyokap lo. He's the one who turned Denis into his s*ks server. He is also the one who always comes and seeks satisfaction because bokap lo already can not muasin him again.”

Alex immediately got emotional hearing Nick's words. He charged forward and then threw his punch towards the man. Nick dodged immediately and then sent a backlash. Alex's body fell back.

“So good for everyone?” ask Arnav.

“Make him understand what Denis rasain,” jawan Nick cold.

Fahrul who was itching to beat Alex, immediately approached and pulled Alex who was still not standing. A back blow was received by the man. Abe and Arnav beat Alex. While Nick just sat watching his three best friends beat Alex alternately.

“Udah guys.. later he dies,” remembers Nick. His three best friends immediately stopped beating.

Alex was helpless, his face covered with blood. His entire body was also covered with bruises due to the consecutive blows given Fahrul, Abe also Arnav. Nick picks up his cell phone and calls an ambulance to take Aleex to the hospital. After giving the location to the medics, he and the others left Alex helpless.

🍂🍂🍂

Teresa entered the hospital building. He just got word that Alex got into the hospital after being beaten up. His arrival was greeted by his driver who drove Alex to the Old City this afternoon. The man immediately escorted Alex to the VIP treatment room.

Teresa covered her mouth with her hands when she saw the child's condition. On his face there were a lot of bruises, similar to Denis' condition. Woman sits beside bed. The hands of his son who was not yet awake.

“Tante..”

Teresa nodded when she heard a voice calling out to her. He was surprised to find Nick coming. Besides Nick, there are also Fahrul, Abe and Arnav. After calling an ambulance, the four men followed Alex to the hospital. Nick had also alerted Alex's driver when the man contacted his employer's cell phone.

“Can we talk aunt?”

Although still confused by the whereabouts of Nick and his friends, no doubt Teresa stood up and followed Nick sitting on the sofa. All of Denis' friends looked at him with cynical eyes.

“Previously for private and friends, I'm sorry for making Alex like this.”

“You?? Butwhy? Is Alex wrong with you? She just got home a week ago from Los Angeles.”

“Because the person who had told the thugs to beat Denis was Alex,” Fahrul replied in a furious tone.

“Ngga possible, this is slander. Alex doesn't know Denis, he doesn't know anything about Denis.”

“But that's the reality. We saw Alex meeting with a thug who beat up Denis.”

“But why? How did Alex know about Denis?”

“Each of us here. Please ask Alex, where does he know about Denis.”

“Yes, aunt will ask. Aunt please, let Alex go, don't bother him again.”

“Depends aunt. If he doesn't bother Denis, we'll also assume this is over. But if he's still bothering Denis. I will be sure his condition will be worse than this,” said Fahrul with a threatening tone.

After there was nothing more to talk about, Nick and the others left Alex's nursery. Teresa was still pensive in her place, still unable to believe that the person who had harmed Denis was her own child. The woman awoke from her daydream upon hearing the boy's moaning. Teresa approached Alex.

“Alex... Are you okay?”

“Mama... Why is mom here?”

“Pak Rano who contact mama. Why can you be like this? What are you doing?”

Alex turned his eyes the other way. His heart was still upset and disappointed when he found out that his beloved and respected mother was in a forbidden relationship with men his age.

“Lex.”

“Mending mom go.”

“Why Lex? Are you angry with your mom? Are you disgusted by your mom? Then just vent your anger on mom, not on Denis.”

Hearing Denis' name, Alex turned his face toward her mother. The look of disappointment was clearly reflected in both eyes. Teresa still cares about Denis and it makes Alex hate him more.

“Don't mention the name of the man who has made mama betray papa!!”

Teresa was surprised to see the child's reaction. Never had Alex spoken in such a high tone and looked at him with such a hateful gaze. The woman closed her eyes, trying to calm the rumble in her chest.

“Iya. mama is wrong. Mama's been in a forbidden relationship with Denis. But you have to know why Mom did it all. Mama does not want to defend herself and justify her actions. But mama did all this out of disappointment with your papa. Your father betrayed you first, he cheated on you with another woman.”

“Mama lie.”

“Make what mama lied. If you don't believe it, you can give me the address of the apartment where your dad hid his affair. It wasn't Denis who caused our household to collapse, it was your own father. If it wasn't for Denis, maybe mom would have died two years ago. He who saved my mom when he tried to kill himself.”

Teresa's cry broke out given her toughest time when she learned of her husband's affair. Her world was shattered to the point of knowing her husband had an affair with a woman whose age was far below him. Amid disappointment and heartache, the woman decided to end her life by jumping from the roof top of the apartment. That's when he met Denis who pulled him when he was about to jump. Since then his relationship with Denis has been intertwined.

“Mama should have told me, not been in a relationship with Denis.”

“Mama admits mama was wrong, mama khilaf avenged your papa's betrayal with infidelity too. But now Mama and Denis' relationship is over. It was he who decided to end the relationship. When you told people to beat him, we had no relationship anymore. So, stop hurting Denis, mom please.”

“What is your next mama's plan?”

“Mama don't know, if mama can't stand all this, mama will divorce your papa.”

“Sorry I ma..”

Teresa hugged Alex, her tears breaking again. Alex hugged his mother's back tightly, his eyes also glazed over. Teresa broke her arms as Alex's ringing sounded as she hugged the child a little tightly.

“Where did you know about Denis?”

“There was a woman who met me. She's almost the same age as my mom, she gave me pictures of me with Denis and told me where Denis works. He also said that Denis was an affair and mistress of mama. He hangs his life on mom and just wants to drain mama's treasure.”

“What is that woman named Alfi?”

“I don't know ma. I also don't have his name.”

Teresa picks up her phone then searches for a photo of Alfi on her IG page. He and Alfi are indeed members of an elite club specifically for women. They often post photos when there are club activities. Alfie knew Denis through him too. Teresa shows Alex a picture of Alfie.

“What is he?”

“Iya ma.”

“Basic crazy women. She couldn't accept Denis leaving and replied like this,” Teresa growled.

“Where is Alfi?”

Both Teresa and Alex were shocked when someone interrupted their conversation. Diah who had come earlier and had heard the talk of the mother and child stepped closer to bed Alex.

“Alfi... where can I find it?”

“He used to gather at Golden Club which is in Tebet.” area

“Alfi is my business. I'm asking you not to see Denis again. Your relationship is over, let her live a better life. And you. if you still dare to hurt him, then I will make your life suffer.”

“Sorry Diah, I'll make sure Alex won't bother and hurt Denis again.”

“I hold your sayings.”

Feeling that there was nothing to say anymore, Diah came out of Alex's hospitalization. Teresa only breathed a long breath seeing the departure of Diah, although heavy, she did have to let Denis go, for the good of Denis and himself.
