The Nick's Life
Forming a New Memory

Nick came out of Rafli's doctor's office. The man had just finished his counseling session. Nabila who just came immediately approached Nick. The young doctor was assigned doctor Rafli to accompany Nick, especially for three days Nick lived in his brother's boarding school. Honey, the man's attitude is still cold to her.

“Assalamu’alaikum.”

“Waalaikumsalam.”

“Have finished counseling?”

“Hmm.”

“You go home to pesantren?”

“Ngga. I'm going home.”

“I can come to your house? I have something to ask you, the duty of doctor Rafli.”

“Please.”

“I'm done in half an hour. Want to wait?”

“Hmm.. Just contact me when you're done.”

Nick then stepped into the elevator. While waiting for Bila, he wanted to relax in the hospital garden that was on the rooftop. When you breathe out a long breath, it's very difficult to get close to Nick. The man talked more openly with Apep and Jaya than with her.

A gust of wind was felt when Nick set his foot on the hospital rooftop. This rooftop has been transformed into a beautiful garden. In addition to the bench, there is also a gazebo to relax. Not many people were there this afternoon. The corner of Nick's eye caught Reyhan's doctor sitting relaxed on one of the benches. He also put his foot there.

“Sore doc.”

“Hai Nick.”

Reyhan's doctor shifts her seat, giving Nick space to sit with her. Nick landed his ass next to Reyhan's doctor. In addition to Rafli's doctor, Nick also often consults with the handsome doctor next to him. The man can always give advice and input that makes his heart calm.

“How's your computing? Is everything smooth?”

“Alhamdulillah doc. It's just that here feels empty,” Nick tapped a finger on his head.

“What is reasonable. When we can't remember something, it must feel awkward and strange. But later you will get used to it too.”

“Sometimes interrupt doc. Sometimes I get frustrated not being able to know who I am, how people are around me, what I like. Things like that always bother me.”

“Try to see everything that happened to you from the bright side. After a severe accident, your condition can recover quickly. All your organs can still function properly. Despite a severe injury to the head, but overall, your nervous system can still work normally. Your immune system is still functioning well, your limbs are still functioning well, you can still remember postoperative events and your cognitive and affective functions are still working well.

Only the memories before the accident are lost. You can form new memories, your family and friends can help you get information about yourself. A lot of people are going through worse things than you after a terrible accident. In short, your condition is still much better.”

“Iya.. doctor is right. Now I can only rely on intuition to remember who I am.”

“Hmm.. sharpen your intuition. That will help you get back to your old self.”

Nick just nodded his head. What Dr. Reyhan said was true. For a moment the two men were silent, they were enjoying the scene in front accompanied by a breeze. Suddenly a beautiful woman approached them.

“Mas.”

“Ay.”

Doctor Reyhan stood up, the woman grabbed his hand then kissed the back of his hand that was being kissed by the handsome doctor. He looked at Nick who was watching them.

“Nick.. Meet my wife, Ayunda.”

The woman named Ayunda stretched her hand towards Nick while throwing a smile. Nick was stunned for a moment to see that smile, fleeting glimpses flashed the shadow of a woman whose face was faint. He shook Ayunda's hand while saying his name.

“You check now?” ask Reyhan's doctor about his wife.

“Iya. The rest of the patients stay two more.”

“Nick.. I stay yes. We have to see an obstetrician.”

“Doctors wife is pregnant?”

“Iya. He is pregnant with his third child,” Reyhan rubbed his wife's stomach is still flat.

Again Nick was stunned, unconsciously he felt his chest. This feeling was familiar to him. Seeing Reyhan's happiness when he said his wife was pregnant like a dejavu for him.

“Why Nick?”

“Ngga anything doc. It's just.. I'm like familiar with this situation.”

“Means?”

“Entah doc. I feel like I've felt how happy it is to be a father candidate.”

“Oh yes? Hmm. Maybe this is a clue for you. Try asking your parents. But remember, don't force yourself to remember. Just ask for information from the people around you.”

“Iya doc, thank you.”

“I stay first yes.”

Hugging his wife's waist, Reyhan's doctor moved away from the rooftop. Nick was still there, once again touched by his chest, he did not misunderstand this feeling. Nick believes he's been in the same situation as Reyhan. Nick's daydream is up when his phone rings, the doctor's name says, When there. The man raised his call while stepping out of the rooftop.

🍂🍂🍂

Mr. Dwi, the driver hired by Bryan to drive Nick to stop his vehicle in front of the gray-painted house. Bryan has not allowed Nick to bring his own vehicle before his condition is completely restored. Nick gets out of the car followed by Bila. Saying greetings, the two entered the house.

The atmosphere of Bryan's house is not as lonely as usual. Fahrul and Abe have been living there for a few days. After delivering Sansan back to Jakarta, Abe did return to Bandung. He and Fahrul begin pioneering a cooperative proposed by Bryan. Denis has not been able to visit because he is still under house arrest. Arnav is coming this afternoon.

Nick's arrival was greeted with joy by Diah. The woman was happy that Nick decided to stay with them. He also greeted Bila kindly. The two women have indeed become familiar since Bila was assigned to accompany and monitor Nick's condition by doctor Rafli.

“Mommy's son finally wants to go home too.”

Diah hugs Nick and takes him to the living room. There Fahrul, Abe and Bryan were talking. Nick approached Bryan and kissed the back of his hand. The man already knew who Bryan was and what his relationship was with the man. Bryan tells the story of everything that happened in the past, including his recent marriage to Diah. At first Diah was against it, but her husband decided to open it all. He believes it's better than covering up which will eventually only arouse suspicion and trigger Nick's curiosity.

Nick's eyes fell on the equipment that was near the kitchen clean. Nick walked over, watching the array of tools in front of him. Nick recognized the equipment. In the corner there are also two small sacks of whole coffee beans. Nick squatted down and scooped up some coffee beans then kissed them

“Nick.. can make coffee daddy?”

Bryan's voice was nearby. Nick stood up, stared at for a moment to confirm what was said. The man moved his head, asking Nick to do as he asked. Although not sure, Nick moves to make coffee for Bryan.

Take the coffee beans are still intact and then put into a tool to grind coffee. Then the man put the coffee that had been ground into the espreso machine. A cup of black coffee is done. Then the man poured creamer over the coffee and began painting on it. Nick's hand moved over the coffee cup. In a short time coffee with batik painting is available.

Bryan's smile expands to see the work of the child. He did deliberately buy all the equipment that Nick used in his shop first. It was to trigger a conative memory and it turned out to work. Nick stared in disbelief at the coffee cup in front of him.

“Dad.. why can I do this?”

“Because it's your job.”

“Am I a barista?”

“Not. You have a coffee shop. And elo barista course in order to serve the customers themselves,” explained Fahrul while approaching his best friend.

“Nick. I also want dong. I miss the coffee made by elo,” continued Abe.

“OK..”

With the spirit of Nick repeating what he did earlier. Bryan grabbed the coffee cup and sipped it slowly. The taste of coffee made by the child is very good. When the one who comes closer, pay attention to what Nick does without blinking. His admiration for the man grew.

“Nick.. do you want to open a coffee shop again?”

“But I don't have the capital yet, dad.”

“Daddy sells your stores in Jakarta. Money can be used for that. Daddy will find a suitable and strategic place for you. How?”

“Bby, but don't be too expensive dad. Fear not enough capital.”

“You do not need to think about the cost for your place of business. Daddy gave it to you, as a gift for your recovery. You just need to think of a name for your shop. How?”

Nick nodded his head enthusiastically. His passion to live life is burning. Back to the words of Dr. Reyhan. He should indeed be grateful and live life as well as possible, creating new memories that are more beautiful of course.

“What if Abe coffie,” chirps Abe.

“Do not. Name lo commercial kaga, make bankrupt yes,” spray Fahrul.

“Bangk* lo!” Abe is shaking Fahrul's head.

“Zicko..”

Everyone turned their faces towards Nick, including Diah who had just listened. Nick stared in confusion as everyone looked towards him with a hard-to-understand look.

“Why? Ugly is his name?”

“Ngga, nice bro. From Abe coffie,” Fahrul replied.

“Iya. that's a good name,” says Bryan.

Nick smiled happily, all liking his name proposal. Zicko's words just flashed through his head. Somehow he felt the name had its own sentimental meaning and value.

🍂🍂🍂

“I received marriage and marriage Meta Anggaraini bint Efendi Waluya with dowry a set of prayer tools paid in cash!”

“How are the witnesses, legitimate?”

“SAH!”

Penghulu reaffirmed that the kabul spoken by Ridho is legitimate and he has officially become the husband of Meta. From upstairs, Lani and Dena, Meta's older sister lead the bride to the board table. He then sat on Ridho's side. The stiff-faced man who had officially become her husband pinned the wedding ring on her ring finger. The same thing is done by Meta.

A little awkward, Meta grabbed Ridho's hand then kissed the back of his hand. Same with the groom. Ridho's heart was racing as his lips touched Meta's forehead. This was the first time the man had touched a woman other than Mina and Iza.

The akad event that was held simply was completed, after both parents gave their advice. Rahardi, who is still hospitalized, could not watch the wedding of his eldest son. He was replaced by Rahman and Anton. Rahardi himself did not comment anything about Ridho's sudden marriage. The man felt he had no right to rule his son's life anymore.

Efendi and Lani did not invite many people, only a few close neighbors were invited. They will invite a lot of people at the reception. Iza hugged her best friend tightly, she could not believe her desire to see her brother match with Meta come true. Although he knew there was something Meta had to sacrifice in order to be able to be with Ridho.

While the guests were enjoying the meal, Mina pulled Ridho's hand. He took the boy to the terrace. Rahman and Anton were waiting for him. After sitting in the seat next to Anton, Mina took out the car keys and her letters were given to Ridho.

“Ummi.. what is this?”

“It's a wedding gift from ummi. You need this to work and also take Iza if you have to control to the hospital. Ummi also sudan transfer some money for your provisions in Bandung.”

“Ummi. My savings are still there.”

“Save your savings. You are now a husband, and two people are your responsibility. Before Iza gets back to Nick, you're in charge of his life. Ummi doesn't want you guys to live hard. Ummi also knows you have used your savings to buy a house. So. just accept.”

Ridho hugged Mina, feeling haru and shame yanking together. He who has been this big still receives money from parents. Mina unraveled her embrace, cupped Ridho's face and landed a kiss on his forehead.

“Finally ummi can see you married. Quickly give ummi momongan ya.”

Ridho just nodded. He himself still does not know what kind of household life he will live later. Is it possible that he can give a grandson as soon as possible to ummi.

“Ummi want to go back to hospital.”

“I inter ummi.”

“Bby. Ummi says yes.”

The middle-aged woman moved from her seat and entered the house. Ridho who was about to follow was detained by Rahman. Rahardi's older brother asked Ridho to stay seated. There's something important he wants to talk about.

“What's wrong?”

“You know the eye doctor who handles Iza?”

“Doctor Rega mean abah?”

“Iya. Yesterday I heard that he also moved to Bandung. There is a chance Iza will continue treatment with him. Abah suspects that Rega's doctor likes Iza. You know that Nick's alive, which means Iza's still tied to his wedding. You have to take care of Iza, lest Rega's doctor further aggravate the situation and prevent Iza from reuniting with Nick again.”

“Iya. In Allah I will remember it. After all, you don't have to worry too much about Rega's doctor. I'm sure Iza won't be so easily attracted to him. There's a bodyguard who always thinks about him,” Ridho chuckles.

“Meta do you mean?”

Ridho simply replied with a nod accompanied by his healthiness. Anton could not help his smile. He quite understands how Iza and Meta friendship.

“You also from now on must learn to smile, speak meekly with women. If your face is stiff and you speak softly, let alone the love of grandchildren, duren is also not necessarily loved you,” Anton chuckled to hear his own words. Likewise with Rahman, while Ridho did not respond to anything.

🍂🍂🍂

After taking Mina to the hospital, Ridho returned to Efendi's residence. He'll pick up Iza as well Meta. Tomorrow morning they will leave for Bandung. The house he bought was also ready to live. Just stay to buy kitchen furniture, and it will be a Meta task later.

“Pa, Ma.. I go first,” say goodbye Ridho on both parents Meta.

Lani hugged her youngest child. The woman between willingly and unwillingly to release Meta. Meta move to Bandung following her husband will make her rarely meet with the child. But Meta promised to take the time to see his mother at least three months.

Ridho stuffed two Meta suitcases into the trunk. After that help Iza get in the car. Once again Meta hugged both his parents, then stepped his feet towards the car.

Rivan, who had just returned after attending school activities, was shocked to hear that Meta had married Ridho. The young man rushed out of the house and approached Meta who was about to get into the car. Seeing Rivan, Meta postponed it. Rivan stood behind the car.

“Van.”

“Kakak really married bang Ridho?”

“Iya.”

“Keep bang Arnav how?”

“He's not my soul mate.”

“But brother.”

“Met!”

Rivan's words came to a standstill when he heard Ridho calling his wife. Meta approached Rivan and broke the top of the young man's head.

“Kakak go first yes. Don't stop teaching Arnav.”

No words came out of Rivan's mouth. The young man just silently looked at Meta who was riding into the car. And soon the four-wheeled vehicle slid away leaving him.

🍂🍂🍂

Bryan's residence grew even more crowded after Arnav's arrival. Reuniting with his friends minus Denis, makes Arnav's mood slightly better. Ever since Meta rejected his proposal, the man had lost his passion for life. Fortunately, he still survives not to fall back into his dark life.

Nick, Fahrul, Abe and Arnav were sitting on the terrace next to the house. The men were busy reminiscing about their college days. Nick is a loyal listener. But no doubt his laughter broke as well when his three best friends told of the ridiculous events they experienced.

In addition to telling stories, Fahrul also showed photos of them first. Many moments that they capture and of course made sweet memories by them. Nick noticed the photos on Fahrul's tablet. Photos when they climb the mountain, play climbing wall, play futsal, including photos of their geeky when they were still high school students.

“This is what is his name?” ask Nick while pointing at Denis's picture.

“Oh.. Kim Jong Un,” replied Abe origin who was immediately presented with a toyoran by Fahrul.

“Lee Min Ho it,” Arnav says.

“Salah lo all. She is Shinbi hahaha.” Fahrul.

Nick hits the back of his best friend's head one by one. Their answers nothing made any sense. Although not a fan of drakor, but Nick knows who Lee Min Ho is, let alone Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea whose name is famous throughout the universe. And Shinbi, it was one of those cartoon movies he had seen a lot lately.

“Name Denis. He just got married a week ago,” Abe explained.

“He's married?”

“Iya. So can not come here, again honeymoon,” continued Fahrul.

“Lo, I'm the same Denis, we are one school in international school,” explained Arnav.

Nick who just nods his head, Denis face is no stranger to him. It's just that he doesn't remember what his name is. But the situation with friends is no stranger to him.

“Oh yes, three more days I want to get married. Lo dateng ya Nick,” exciting Abe.

“Same chick yesterday with elo?”

“Iya. Sansan. You can come by, right?”

“Iya can.”

“Ya is leaving tomorrow, how?” abe's proposal was enthusiastic.

“Gue followed deh,” said Fahrul.

“By the way,” replied Nick.

“Ar.. you really want to move to Bandung?”

All eyes were on Arnav. Since Meta rejected his application, Arnav did apply to move to the Regional Sales Office in Bandung. There was an empty position for him.

“Iya.maybe in a week or two I move. Mutation submission approved.”

“How much Meta Cerus?”

“Yes how else, he already rejected my application.”

“Meta who?” ask Nick.

“The Stuff. He has been bedridden, initially accepted but continues to be rejected,” explained Abe.

“Loh how can you? Do you continue to do so?”

“Maybe not my soul mate kali.”

“Don't give up so dong, fight bro,” Fahrul pat Arnav's arm.

“If you were my soul mate, we would be united. But if not, as hard as my efforts also will not succeed.”

Arnav lowered his head. Deep down he hoped he could still go back to Meta. Only Meta wants to be his life companion. The woman who was the reason for the change. The atmosphere suddenly became silent and the silence broke as Arnav's phone rang.

Arnav frowned seeing the caller was Rivan. At once he had told the young man that the lesson taught him to take a holiday first because he had to go to Bandung. Towards the final ringing, the man answered his call.

“Assalamu’alaikum.”

“Waalaikumsalam. Bang, again where?”

“Di Bandung's. I told you yesterday.”

“Bang, you are the same as Meta?”

Arnav devised a plan, again the topic of Meta which became the subject of conversation. His mood, which had improved, had now deteriorated again. The man stood up and walked a little away from his friends.

“Bang..”.

“Iya. I'm the same Meta ease.”

“Kak Meta just married bang Ridho.”

“Hah?? What Van? I'm not wrong, am I?”

“Ngga bang. Kak Meta already married bang Ridho, his brother Iza, two hours ago.”

PRAK!!!

“Bang.. bang..”

The connection was immediately cut off when the phone in Arnav's hand just fell and splashed on the floor. Nick, Fahrul and Abe are shocked.

“Ar.. why?” ask Abe.

“Meta..."

"Meta why?"

"She's just married.”

“Haaahh?!!”
