The Nick's Life
Bad Situations

Denis jumped when he got word from Abe that Abe's father had found Nick's whereabouts. He rushed into the bathroom to clean himself up. The man did not linger there, ten minutes later he came out and got dressed. Azka was enjoying breakfast while watching television.

“Azka..”.

Denis lifted Azka's body, kissed her face in a row and then twisted the child's body. Azka was screaming both happy and scared. Ayura who was in the kitchen immediately approached.

“What is this?”

Azka dropped him and sat him in his original place. Then Denis approached Ayura. Now it was his wife's turn who was carried and invited to go around in circles. Ayura screamed as Denis did. She hugged her husband's neck. Denis lowered Ayura then kissed her lips many times. Cupped his wife's face with both hands.

“Nick has met. He's met, Ay.”

“Aalhamdulillah's. Where is he?”

“He was hospitalized Ibn Sina.”

“Where is it?”

“Di Bandung's. We went to Bandung today. You get ready, Abe will pick you up soon. Azka want to go to Bandung?” Denis turned towards Azka.

“Mau pa.. yeee.. streets.”

The boy cheered happily. Ayura smiled looking at him, then pulled Denis' hand to the dining table, she had already prepared breakfast. Then Ayura went into the room. The woman needs to prepare clothes and items to take to Bandung.

While preparing the luggage, a bell was heard at the door. Ayura rushed out of the room and opened the door for her. In his mind it must be Abe who came to pick up. Sure enough, Abe and Sansan were standing at the door. Ayura immediately invited her guests to enter.

Not long after the bell rang again. Again, Ayura opened the door. The woman was surprised to see two men in brown uniforms standing at the door of the apartment unit. For a moment she was stunned to see two police officers visiting her husband's apartment.

“Good morning, mom. Mr Denis Bramastanya is there?”

“A. What is the need?”

“Who Ay?”

The suspicious Denis saw Ayura just glued to the door, coming at him immediately. The man was shocked to see the police coming at him this early. He never did anything that broke the law.

“With Mr Denis Bramasta?”

“Iya my own. What's up?”

“Our father was arrested for reports of sexual abuse on Reisa Indriani's sister,” the officer showed Denis the arrest warrant.

“Wait..wait.. sexual harassment? I never did it sir.”

“Give a statement of father in the office only. Now, please come with us.”

“Pak. This must be a misunderstanding.”

Ayura tried to restrain the officer from bringing her husband. A curious Abe approached his best friend. He was surprised that two police officers tried to take Denis away.

“Before... a moment sir, what is this? Why would you bring my friend?”

“We got a report that Mr. Denis had sexually assaulted Reisa Indriani's sister. Please cooperate, please come to the office.”

“This is a misunderstanding. That's a false accusation, my friend won't do that, I dare guarantee.”

“Report has provided evidence as well as witnesses. Please come to the office to make sure. For now Mr. Denis should come with us.”

“Den.”

“Gue ain't nothing, I'll come with them. Go to Bandung, I'm sure it's Nick. Don't think about me just yet. Please take Ayura with Azka. I'm afraid that they're alone here.”

“Mari pack.”

Denis nodded then followed the two officers. Because they're cooperative, they don't have to handcuff Denis. Just a few steps walk heard Azka's cry calling out to him.

“Papa!! Papa!!”

Denis stopped his steps and turned his body. Through his gaze he asked the officer for permission to approach the child. The officer just nodded his head. Denis ran towards Azka and crouched down while hugging her.

“Where are you going? Said papa wants to go to Bandung with Azka.”

“Papa has a job first. Azka same mama and om Abe first, yes.”

“Why papa go the same pack of police?”

“Pak police ask for help papa. So papa should go with them. Azka don't be naughty as long as papa goes.”

“Say papa won't stay in Azka.”

“Papa just go for a minute baby. Papa will come home again. Azka trust papa?”

Azka nodded her head. Denis kissed Azka on the forehead and hugged her again. Ayura approached her husband and son. Denis stood up then hugged Ayura tightly. Just now that happiness was approaching them, there was already another storm crashing.

“I go first. Take good care of yourself.”

“Iya.”

“Ay.. You trust me right?”

“I believe. Prove that you are innocent.”

Denis tightened his embrace on the wife's body. Slowly she let go of his embrace. Before leaving the man landed a kiss on Ayura's forehead. Afterwards Denis turned around and followed the police officer who was still waiting for him. Ayura brought Azka into her carriage. Azka's eyes continued to look at Denis's back which disappeared behind the elevator door.

🍂🍂🍂

The news of Denis' arrest certainly shocked those who knew him. Moreover, the news has been aired on infotainment. The agency where Denis worked immediately decided on the employment contract unilaterally because he did not want to be affected by the sloping news about the director of photography who was rising to his name.

After successfully destroying Fahrul's household, Reisa now targets Denis. Because the man who caused his relationship with Fahrul ran aground. The woman avenged her revenge by spreading vile slander if she became a victim of Denis sexual abuse. Sympathy also came to the young artist, while Denis reaped blasphemy many people.

Diah and Bryan still survive in her apartment. Just now they were going to Bandung when Diah saw Denis' news on television. Both are waiting for Abe and Arnav. The Typhoon even called and said it would come to the apartment. Bryan immediately contacted his acquaintance's lawyer to help with Denis's legal process.

Diah rushes to the door, Abe, Arnav and Typhoon come together. Then his eyes caught Ayura and Azka standing beside Sansan. The woman approached Ayura then hugged her.

“Sabar Ayura. mommy sure Denis didn't do it. You must trust your husband.”

“Iya mom.”

Mommy invites Ayura in, she takes Azka's hand. The boy looked grim. The plan of going together must fail because Denis suddenly has to go to the police station. Sansan invites Azka to play a game on the balcony, while the adults are talking about Denis.

“Daddy has sent a lawyer to accompany Denis at the police station. We have to prove that Reisa's accusation is not true.”

“Mommy same daddy left for Bandung. Lo also Be, bring Ayura the same Azka as Denis' message. Let me take care of Typhoon Denis here. Don't tell Fahrul just yet,” Arnav said.

“Let me not tell you, he will also know. Do not see the news viral on tv sama medsos. Rese very girl,” furious Abe.

“Si Denis still have proof of sound recording Reisa not that time?” ask Typhoon.

“Still rich. But I don't know where he simple.”

“There's no video recording as well? Same with the video recording. Prove that Reisa's accusation isn't true.”

“What video?”

Everyone immediately silenced hearing Ayura's question. They forget that Denis is married to Ayura. Arnav seemed to have cleared his throat several times, Abe just lowered his head. While the Typhoon pretended not to hear, he cursed himself who mispronounced his emotions.

“Video what? If that proves Denis innocent, I'll help you find.”

“Ngga to Yu.. I forgot that the video does not exist,” replied Typhoon.

“We're leaving now, mom. It's still early, if it's Nick, one problem is over. We can focus on dealing with Denis,” Abe is trying to distract.

“Yes you are right, we are leaving now aja.”

“I'm not coming. I'm here, I want to see Denis at the police station,” exclaimed Ayura.

“Denis ask you to come. He's worried that you're alone.”

“There is Arnav and Typhoon who will take care of me, isn't it?”

Ayura looked towards Arnav and Typhoon, the two men looked at each other and then nodded their heads. Abe can't persuade Ayura anymore. He called Sansan.

“San, let's go.”

“Kak Ayu not coming?”

“Ngga San.”

“Mama come,” invite Azka.

“Ngga dear we are here only. Later to the Bandungnya with papa, yes.”

“Mommy go, Yu. You're the same Azka here. Mommy will drop you off to the security guard.”

“Iya mom.”

He and the others left the apartment. Soon the typhoon was saying goodbye. He must move quickly to find evidence to help his friend. Arnav calls Fahrul to tell him about Nick. Only Fahrul remained who had not been informed. After informing Fahrul, Arnav left. Ayura and Azka were there.

🍂🍂🍂

Fahrul immediately turned his vehicle back as soon as he got word from Arnav. The plan this morning is to visit Bryan's estate. But the man called it off as soon as Arnav said Nick was being treated at Ibn Sina hospital. He didn't think Nick was close enough to him. The distance of the hospital where Maira was treated was not too far away.

Fahrul's foot continues to press the gas pedal, increasing the speed of his car to get to the destination immediately. He can't wait to see his best friend soon. Several times he honked as some of the angkots stopped long enough in front of him.

Fifteen minutes later, his car entered the parking area of Ibn Sina's international hospital. After parking his vehicle, the man rushed into the hospital lobby. At the same time Kyai Ahmad also came along with Apep and Jaya. If you tell me that David aka Nick has woken up from his coma. Even the man had already been transferred to the usual treatment room.

Kyai Ahmad entered the elevator followed by Apep and Jaya from behind. As the elevator doors closed, Fahrul's hand held him. The man then went inside. He threw a smile at Kyai Ahmad and stood beside the humble man.

“Pak kyai, leres is the tea casep conscious tos? (that's so if the handsome is aware?),” asked Apep.

“Alhamdulillah just now When you say so. David's been moved to a regular nursery.”

“Abi mahasa less sreg nganggo ngaran David mah. Asa fits Ronaldo (i don't use the name Ronaldo. The power is more suitable Ronaldo),” exclaimed Apep.

“Mending ge Messi atawa Karim Benzema,” timpal Jaya.

Kyai Ahmad just shook his head to hear the debate of two employees. They still fuss over a temporary name for a stranger they found two weeks ago. Fahrul who had listened earlier, intrigued his curiosity when the man next to him called David's name. The same name Arnav mentioned for Nick's identity at this hospital.

“Sorry mr. kyai. If I may know, sir Kyai would like to visit a patient named David.”

“Iya right,” kyai Ahmad turned to Fahrul.

“Where did you find it?”

“David carried away my employee pick up car. At that time they had just picked up items from our donors in Jakarta.”

“Sumuhun. Oath abi mah teu terang aya jalmi dina bak artisan. (right a. I swear I don't know if anyone's in the back tub).”

“How does it look?”

“Kasep kang, jiga bule.”

Hearing the information from Apep increasingly convinced Fahrul that the person named David was Nick. He takes the phone out of his pants pocket and searches for a photo of Nick. Shown a picture of Nick on Apep.

“What is this guy?”

“Betul kang's. Ai akang sahana?”

“Alhamdulillah O Allah. I'm Fahrul, he's my best friend. We've been looking for him everywhere. Thank you mr. Kyai for helping my best friend.”

“Alhamdulillah, finally we can find the whereabouts of his family.”

“How is he kyai sir?”

“Let's just ask the doctor who treated him.”

Fahrul just nodded his head. His heart was truly happy, finally Nick could be found as well. He hopes Nick's situation is much better now. His eyes continued to look towards the panel above the door. With two more floors to go, they'll arrive where Nick is being treated.

“Punten kang, tea name what is it? Ronaldo sanes?” ask Apep adjustment.

“Not. Name's Nick. Nickolas Armando Littrell's. We used to call him Nick.”

“Tuh.. Nick.. Another Messi komo Karim Benzema,” exclaimed Apep on Jaya.

“Komo maneh, ni away Ronaldo,” reply Jaya do not want to lose.

Fahrul chuckled at the debate between the two. Smile again adorned the face of Kyai Ahmad. These two employees often clash their mouths. A day does not hear the debate of the two like vegetables without salt.

TING

The elevator they were riding on arrived on the 9th floor. Fahrul let kyai Ahmad out first and then followed. He continued to follow the steps of kyai Ahmad until he entered the room located at the very end. Their arrival was immediately welcomed by Bila. Nick himself is still undergoing examination by dr. Reyhan and dr. Sudirman.

“How is it?” kyai Ahmad asked his daughter.

“Still checked by doctor. Hopefully everything is good.”

“Aamiin.”

Then he looked towards Fahrul. Seeing that, kyai Ahmad immediately introduced Fahrul to Bila. The girl was also happy that someone knew David.

“So you're David's friend?”

“Nick.. his name is Nick.”

“Oh. sorry. I don't know his name, so I registered him with David's name. It feels better than Ronaldo or Messi,” When glancing at Apep and Jaya. Fahrul just smelled a smile.

The two specialists who handled Nick have finished checking Nick's condition. They let kyai Ahmad and the others approach the bed. Fahrul went straight ahead. He can't wait to see his best friend.

“Nick..” call Fahrul.

Nick looked towards Fahrul. His eyes were blank, he looked at Fahrul as if he had only seen him for the first time. No response from Nick, Fahrul is getting closer.

“Nick.. how is lo?”

“You.... who? Who's Nick?”

“Nick don't joke. It's Fahrul, your best friend. I don't want to giveprank. I'm not going to cheat again.”

Nick kept looking at Fahrul without reacting. Then he looked towards the doctor and also when. A look of confusion on his face. Not only Nick, Fahrul is also confused by the attitude of his best friend.

“You said my name was David, and he kept saying Nick. Which one is right?”

“Nick please don't joke. Not funny tau.”

“I really don't know who you are. But.”

Nick hung up his words. He looked towards Fahrul. He did not know the man in front of him, but the face, voice and atmosphere between them seemed familiar.

“Lo artist yes?”

Fahrul gawked at Nick's words. He looked at the doctor. Seeing the confusion on Fahrul's face, Reyhan's doctor took the man out of the room. The Sudirman doctor asked Kyai Ahmad to speak.

“Dok... What's wrong with my best friend? Why doesn't he know me?”

“It looks like your best friend has amnesia. By the time he was brought here, he had bleeding in his head. Was he an accident victim? I found a scar on his head.”

“He did have a severe accident doc. He is still hospitalized in Jakarta time lost without trace.”

“Hmm.” doctor Reyhan nodded his head.

“So that's what caused one of the nerves in his little brain to be squeezed. The squeezed nerve is bleeding because there is a broken blood vessel. We managed to stop the bleeding and suck his blood.”

“But why did he forget his name again doc? He was amnesiac after waking up from a coma. But before she went missing, she knew who I was, her family, though she didn't remember. But why now do not remember at all?”

“It was because of the bleeding that occurred. His condition is currently not good. Looks like the bleeding was triggered because she was trying to remember her past.”

“The doctor who treated him did say that. He must not force himself to remember who he is. Because it can harm it.”

“Ya. and proven. He almost lost his life, but Alhamdulillah could still be saved. And the effect of that was that he lost again the memory he got after the accident. If he continues to force himself to keep remembering, he can lose the function of memory. He will forget the events he experienced every day and the worst possibility he could die.”

Fahrul scratched his hair violently. The hope of finding Nick in good shape turned out to be just a delusion. Precisely the condition of his best friend shows a decline. Dr. Reyhan patted Fahrul's shoulder gently.

“What should we do doc?”

“Accompany him. Don't force him to remember the past. He also needs to be counseled with a psychiatrist. And most importantly, for now he has to be in a quiet environment and make it comfortable. It can help his recovery process. Where is his family?”

“Med in transit doc.”

“Alright, I go first. Later if his family comes, please see me also doctor Sudirman. We need to tell in detail the patient's condition and what to do.”

“Iya doc.”

Reyhan's doctor patted Fahrul's shoulder once again and then walked away. Fahrul was only able to remain silent for a moment. He was still confused by the situation that befell his best friend. The man then went back into the room. Nick was talking to Bila.
