The Strange Girl Nathan's
Perfumes

In the evening, Sapto returned to Hisham's residence. Now they were holding talks in Hisham's study.

"Let me go to school, what about Pa?" Nathan volunteered. They again discussed, who will be sent to the school where the Sukma is.

"You're going to college, Bang!" fifi.

"Tomorrow truancy once again is not a problem, Ma." Nathan's reply.

"This is, usually if the model of office people who come let alone admit from social services, they will be welcomed with pleasure. Their words will be awake, and obviously we'll have a hard time fishing for them. Different again if the young, I will claim to be a student who is doing research at the social service office near the Sukma area. I told them I was interested in the Sukma case. If they are ready to help, it is certain that the school does not know anything about the Sukma incident. But, if not, we can suspect the school as well." Nathan explained his idea at length.

Sapto, Hisham, and Fifi digested all of Nathan's sentences, then the three reflexively nodded together. Hisham patted the boy proudly on the shoulder, "Papa is proud of your thoughts."

"Yes, that's a very good idea, Nathan. I was also confused as to who. If you or I come here, the principal can be suspicious. She was afraid that she had been interested in photos of Mr. Hisham in magazines or whatever, and eventually our investigation will not be smooth."

The next day, Nathan was ready. Wearing a white shirt and black pants, his hair was made to drizzle, and not to forget the bag containing the laptop hung on his shoulder. The man glazed over, and developed his smile. "Perfects!"

"Where are you going?" sukma asked as she and Nathan walked down the stairs.

"Oh, Brother again got a college assignment, Dek. There's a place you want to visit."

Sukma. "Want to change perfume?"

Nathan stopped, Sukma stopped too. Nathan looked at Sukma, "did you smell my brother's perfume yesterday? But, yeah. Brother change perfume."

Nathan laughed, his hands raised hugging the top of the girl's head gently. "That, huh? The perfume runs out, this is the perfume given by one of Brother's friends. Because the perfume Abang previously out of stock, so wear this first. Later, go home and want to buy. Or Sukma wants to buy it?" bargain Nathan.

Sukma. "Sukma wants to be home. Buy it yourself!" said the girl who made Nathan laugh. "Come, we're going down, Bang!" he continued when he realized that they stopped in the middle of the stairs. The girl grabbed Nathan's hand, and pulled him down. While Nathan was immediately surprised, but he immediately tried to control himself. His eyes were fixed on his hand that Sukma was holding, making the man's smile start to crack on his lips.

"Nathan is leaving?" ask Fifi. The woman was sitting relaxed while watching TV in the living room.

"Yes, Ma" replied Nathan.

Fifi nodded slowly. "Be careful!" the message Nathan took. "Here baby, let's watch, come on!" The woman then invited Sukma to sit next to her, enjoying the spectacle of Indian films whose episodes had somehow reached hundreds.

"I'll go first, Ma." Nathan's hand-crossing Fifi. The man then turned to Sukma. The man again patted the top of his sister's head and smiled slightly. "Abang go first. Sukma at his play house the same Mama used to be, yes. Later, Brother will also buy Sukma perfume fitting home."

Sukma nodded enthusiastically. "Sukma wants the same rich perfume Brother, yes," she asked. Nathan laughed, "it's a man's perfume, Dek!"

Sukma breathed a disappointed breath. "Later Brother Cariin who smells similar, but the female version. Don't be sad!" entertain Nathan.

"Yes, I'm leaving!" Nathan returned to farewell.

Nathan calls Papa first, he'll be escorted there by Hisham and Sapto. However, he the middle-aged man would wait in the car alone. Only Nathan himself will come down.

Nathan breathed a heavy breath. "Bismillah! May it be made easy, O God!" muttered the man before he got on his bike.
