The Nick's Life
First Night

Time shows at ten o'clock in the night. The rain is still pouring down on the capital city of Jakarta. Nick's apartment looked lonely. In Nick's room, clothes were strewn across the floor. A pair of people were lying on the bed hugging. Their innocent bodies are only wrapped in blankets to the extent of the chest.

Nick rubbed Iza's face and landed a kiss on her forehead. He had just taken the chastity of the girl he loved so much. There was a hint of regret in the man's heart, why their first night should be done in this kind of situation. As if understanding what Nick was thinking, Iza started talking.

“I have no regrets. I don't regret doing all this. We should have done this from the beginning.”

“Zi.”

“I can no longer tolerate abi's attitude. My heart hurts every time he insults you. What we do is one way to punish him. I wonder how he would react if he found out that the princess he was proud of was no longer a virgin. Will he keep me with another man. I want him to feel like he failed to educate me.”

Iza's tears flowed as she said it all. Nick grabbed Iza's body, Nick's hand rubbed his innocent back. Again a kiss landed on the woman's forehead.

“He did not fail to educate you. He just failed in his role as a good father. Father who cannot understand his own daughter.”

Nick tightens his arms around Iza's body. His eyes also heated up hearing the sobs of the woman's cries. His struggle to become a good man, who deserves to get the girl he loves, was filled with steep, winding hills. Until they finally did all this.

The Flashback

Upon Rahman's return from the garden, Iza invites the man to talk about his relationship with Nick, as well as the plans he will execute in order to prevent Rahardi from blocking their relationship again. Together with Nick and his wife, Rahman invites Iza to speak in the room Iza occupied.

“What is your plan Zi?”

“Married me to Nick.”

Rahman was surprised to hear that. Suddenly he looked at Nick who had no reaction. Honestly, the man wanted himself to perform kabul ijab with Rahardi in front of the ruler as well as witnesses. Not with Rahman and only religious marriage.

“Are you serious Zi? Is this the only way?”

“Then I have to how else? Abi was clearly against my relationship with Nick. As hard as Nick tried, Abi always thought it was bad. Enough abi to make me disappointed through kang Anang. I don't want to fall a second time.”

“What do you mean?”

“Abi asked Kang Anang to hide his marriage with Isma. For six months they lied to me. Even Abi acted as if he knew nothing. Abi managed to hurt me, not because Anang prefers Isma, but because of the lies they created. All this time I kept quiet and pretended not to know about it. I forgive him because abi is my father. But Abi again hurt my heart. Am I wrong to want to be happy?”

“Astaghfirullahaladziim.”

Rahman rubbed his face rough. He is completely unaware of Iza's relationship with Anang and Rahardi's involvement in lying to his own daughter. Leaving Iza in a false hope for six months. He stood up from his seat then walked out of the room.

Ten minutes later he came back. Iza was still waiting for the answer Rahman gave. The girl really hoped Rahman would support her decision. Because only Rahman is the focus right now.

“Good. Abah will marry you. Nick, you stay here. Tonight I will arrange your wedding. Tomorrow morning, you're getting married. But abah message, you do not first have intercourse before abi Iza gives you blessing through his own mouth. Do you agree?”

“Iya. But if abi remains unchanged. Don't blame us, if we choose to live our married life like any other couple.”

Rahman who knew the direction of Iza's conversation only smiled slightly while nodding his head. Inevitably he had to agree to the wishes of his nephew. He did not want these two children determined to engage in forbidden relationships in order to achieve the blessing of his stubborn sister.

After talking to Iza and Nick, Rahman contacted one of his friends who ran a boarding school as well as one of the respected figures in this area. He asked his friend for help to marry Iza as well as witness the wedding of his nephew.

In the morning, he was seen at Rahman's residence. The wife helped several neighbors busy preparing dishes. The wedding itself is simple and only attended by a few close neighbors.

Meanwhile in the room, Rina was helping Iza decorate. Iza looks beautiful in an ivory white kebaya that Rina rented yesterday afternoon. While in the other room, Denis helps Nick to prepare. He did not expect his best friend would marry in such an impromptu way.

After the bride and groom are ready, Kyai Haji Ahmad Ramdan invites Rahman to start kabul ijab. Rahman held Nick's hand tightly. Nick's chest thumped ahead of the seconds of his sacred promise.

“Ananda Nickolas Armando Littrell, I marry and marry you to my nephew Noor Azizah Rukhansa bint Rahardi Gumilar with a dowry of five million rupiah, paid in cash!”

“I received the marriage and marriage of Noor Azizah Rukhansa bint Rahardi Gumilar with the dowry in cash!”

“Alhamdulillah, you are legal to be husband and wife,” asserted the kyai.

Nick rubbed his face while saying his hamdalah. Moments later, Iza came out accompanied by Rina. The girl sits next to Nick, who is now her husband. He grabbed Nick's hand and kissed the back of his hand. Nick holds Iza's shoulder and lands a kiss on her forehead.

Iza's tears flowed, and now she was a wife. Nick's finger rubbed the clear circles that wet his wife's face. Slowly he hugged his beloved woman. No wedding rings, no wedding books. There is only a sacred promise that Nick has made with all his heart, witnessed by God and his angels.

Flashback Off

🍂🍂🍂

Iza is still in Nick's arms. Her crying had stopped and her condition was calmer. Nick's hand was still moving rubbing his wife's back. They shouldn't have done this before Rahardi's blessing. But the man's manoeuvre is unpredictable, making Iza have to take this decision.

Still remembered in Nick's mind, when Iza said if his ashes still insist on opposing their relationship, then they will live a life like a husband and wife normally, including having sex. Iza also plans to get pregnant and says the child she contains is the result of her illicit relationship with Nick.

At first Nick rejected the plan out of fear that Rahardi would flounder and do something unexpected. But Iza insisted on his decision. Not wanting to see Iza continue to be sad and depressed, Nick also agreed to his proposal. And tonight became the beginning of their relationship as a real husband and wife.

“Nick.”

“Hmm.”

“I laper.”

“What do you eat?”

“What aja but you cook. I can't cook.”

“Ok darling.”

Nick kissed Iza's forehead. He straightened his body then inched down. He took clothes on the floor. Iza pulled the blanket over her face. Nick chuckles at the wife who seems embarrassed to see herself without a thread.

Nick quickly put on his pants, then he took the nightgown Iza was wearing and gave it to him. Slowly Iza lowered the blanket, seeing that Nick's lower body was covered, the woman lowered back the blanket and took the nightgown her husband gave her.

“I shower first yes.”

Nick rushed into the bathroom. Iza immediately put on her clothes and went down. But then he sat back down because his lower part was still painful. Ten minutes later Nick came out of the bathroom. While ruining his hair the man took a towel and gave it to Iza.

“You take a shower, I cook.”

“Hmm..” slowly Iza got up from her seat. There was a ringing as his feet began to step.

“You want to carry?”

“Ngga. You cook aja.”

“Ok darling.”

After stealing a kiss from his wife's cheek, Nick rushes out of the room. Whistling, he walked towards the kitchen. Meanwhile Iza with a slow step towards the bathroom.

After the shower, Iza catches up with Nick to the kitchen. The woman sat down on the chair and looked at her husband's back. Nick is still preparing food for Iza. Moments later, fried rice with eggplok on it was presented in front of Iza.

“Hmm.. from the fragrance is already tempting. It must have tasted good.”

“Come eaten. A minute yes.”

“Hmm. You pinter cook deh.”

Praise came out from Iza's mouth after finishing her fried rice. Nick turned off the hairdryer and then moved to sit next to his wife. His hands tidied up the hair that covered Iza's beautiful eyes several times.

“Zi.. It seems like it's time I told the others about our relationship.”

“Why?”

“I'm not free to touch you in front of them. See how surprised they were when we hugged yesterday.”

“Biarin. They used to see something like that.”

“I have to keep telling them. Not because they're my best friends. But I just want to keep your good name. I don't want them to think that you're like any other woman they know. Want to be touched by a man who is not his muhrim.”

Iza looked at Nick's face. He was moved to hear his words earlier. Nick always thinks of himself, his good name, his happiness and always puts his interests above his own.

“Nick.. Why are the words that come out of your mouth always sweet to hear? You're pinter ngegombal.”

“Masa anyway? Actually not. But deket same you activated my combating ability.”

Iza smiled, displaying a row of her white teeth. Nick's eyes did not blink looking at the beautiful angel in front of him. An angel who now holds the status of his wife. Only tonight did he really feel like he had become the husband of that beautiful woman. After they had sex for the first time.

“Zi.. can you call me by another name?”

“What like? Yingying? Babyb? Ish lebay deh.”

“Enough you call me, I've been joking.”

“Say you don't like calls like that.”

“Yes if our relationship is limited to friends, I do not like. But now you are my wife. Call ‘mas’ will feel sweeter as it sounds. Try deh.”

“Hmm. ma..s”

“Less tightening, ngga mendengeran.”

“Mas.”

“Still not astonished.”

Iza was annoyed Nick continued to tease her, even though he was sure that the man heard her call earlier. It's not that Iza doesn't like to call Nick ‘mas’, it's just that he's still shy about doing it.

“Maass,” Iza raised her voice.

“Iya darling.”

BLUSHES

Iza's face blushed. It felt more different this time when Nick called her affectionately. It was like there was electricity in his body.

“I was just kidding. You are free to call me anything. If you're more comfortable calling me Nick, it’s ok I don't mind.”

“Ngga. I like to call you that name. Sounds more respectful and friendly.”

Iza's cheeks flushed back when she said that. Nick is getting more and more anxious. She pulls Iza's chin slowly then I**mat her lips. Now there is no awkwardness when doing it, even he already feels opium.

“It turns out that touch effect is awesome yes. Holding hands, hugging and kissing it makes people addicted to doing it again and again. It's worth Arnav, Fahrul and Denis often make love before marriage, because it turns out to be heavy to resist the temptation not to repeat it when you've done it.”

“Knya code deh, anyone want again.”

Nick blinked his eyes at Iza. The woman widened her eyes then her head shook rapidly.

“Ng. That was still sick,” he said slowly.

“The second one and so on will not hurt kok.”

“Who said?”

“Try me you asked me the same one you have ever asked. If it hurts, there is no way they want to do it continue.”

Iza was silent justifying what Nick said. But then his daydreams ran out when Nick carried his body.

“Mas iihh.”

“Come we sleep.”

“Sleep, right?”

“Ya if you want to do something else first also nothing.”

Iza's hands wrapped around Nick's sturdy neck, then hid her face in the niche of her husband's neck. Nick always teases her and succeeds in putting her to shame. With wide steps, Nick went into the room and closed the door with a push of his foot. Slowly laid Iza's body on the mattress.

Nick crawled up on the bed and laid his body next to his wife. The two face each other. Iza slightly raised her head as Nick stretched out his arms, then put his head back there.

“Zi.. until when do you want to stay here?”

“Forever.”

“Then what about ummi? Poor ummi, surely ummi worried if you know you run away from home again.”

“I'm afraid to go home, abi took me away from you.”

“”For while we stay together here. But tomorrow I'll tell ummi, so don't worry. While we are looking for another solution.”

“Iya mas.”

“I love you, Zi.”

“Love you too.”

Nick brought his face closer and buried his lips on Iza's rancid lips. With full of tenderness and affection he again clenched the lips that had become opium for him. Nick's hand moved to unbutton the nightgown Iza was wearing.

“May I, Zi?”

Iza just nodded slowly. A smile appeared on Nick's handsome face. He was again preparing to join his wife. Rowing nirvana for the second time accompanied by the sound of the rustling rain that still has not stopped.
