Nicko came home after making sure Beautiful was okay. His faster return made both his parents feel astonished. From the morning he asked to go home, there was no answer. Stepping into the room without saying hello, his feelings were shattered when he accepted the fact that his sister knew everything outside of plan.
The fact that certainly makes the lover also fall back. Since returning home, Nicko did not come out, until the dinner call did not make him immediately gather together.
Her mood is shattered but she is eager to talk to Chiko as her dearly beloved sister. If asked to choose a sister or lover, Nicko would prefer to leave. There was no way he could have hurt both of them. Then what about his feelings with Beautiful, what is indeed his destiny must again fail. Or accepting matchmaking is the best way for her.
Choose to stay at home, contemplate all that has happened. Stay on the balcony of the room rather than back drunk. Trying to grow up because there is the involvement of the sister in it. Looking to the side of the balcony, her sister's room is connected. The lights went out like the occupants were already asleep.
Several times he took a rough breath, each remembering the faces of the two people he loved disappointed. His head was throbbing, too tired to think about life. It would be a hard choice if they knew. But he is sure Beautiful will not just want to live.
In a messy room a young man curled up disappointed, sad, hurt, and hurt. All his belongings were falling apart as per his heart at this moment. Silent in the darkness, tears that never come out in vain must come out of disappointment. What else is every shadow of her brother who is so enjoying to the point of not being aware of her presence. Seeing the person he loves in love even in love by his own brother. Even though she knew it was beautiful, she never said yes, but she kept fighting. Unknowingly having the same heart as her brother.
"Why should you be a sister? why is it God......"
First time love must accept this reality, what else firmly Nicko absolutely does not want to take off. The family members he loved the most, who became protectors since childhood, even became role models for him. Turns out his rival in romance. Really beyond wishful thinking, what else is her weak position, it is certainly beautiful to choose her brother rather than her who indeed from the beginning there is no love.
Just like the beautiful girl who was currently silently staring at the sky, today her heart was gray. Not an hour back up has to be broken again. Accept a statement that will certainly be revealed even though the asphyxiate may be tightly closed.
He did not even expect Nicko to be able to cover up and hold back his ego for the sake of him and his sister. It is worth repeatedly seeing them together does not make him angry excessively. His jealousy seemed to be rooted, he was so mature. But it was suppressing the feeling, so strong that he did not know if it was painful.
It is impossible for him to be together again, there will be a heart that is also hurt. Maybe if it wasn't a sister, she wouldn't have thought of it this way. Trying hard to get back up, trying alone to get back independent. It is sincere if his love runs aground, and it is impossible for him to love behind a hurt heart.
"I'm sorry, I don't know. You're strong, you're great, you can cover up the pain for your sister, you're a good brother. But Indah is self-conscious, Indah does not want to destroy your brotherhood. Beautiful backwards om...."
Beautiful back crying, not expecting it will be this complicated, what else Chiko said Nicko's matchmaking will not be rejected. There are services that must be paid, the stronger the reason is because it is related to life. Certainly without Lovely giving up and succumbing he still lost.
The three people in the midst of grief, Nicko returned to being a quiet and cold figure to anyone. Chiko tried to be sincere even though her heart was not fully accepting. While Indah tries to return to independence and may return to the beautiful figure that used to be after the exam was over.
In the morning greet all the creatures in the world, Nicko, Chiko and both her parents are already sitting at the same table for breakfast. No one has opened his voice, the mother also feels strange with the faces of her two children pale with puffy eyes and black eyes. Both of them were just silent, enjoying breakfast without a greeting.
The mama and papah looked at each other but did not want to ask, they believed if there was a problem between the two, the brother would be wiser. Until breakfast is over, the new mom opens her voice.
"Nicko, I'm sorry if you press too much, for the last time please son. Accept this matchmaking, sorry if your mom ruined your relationship with that girl. Maybe you are wrong to look too one eye, you don't know anything. But as a mother, you want the best for your child."
"Darling, if not he who helped mamah maybe mama is no longer in your midst. Mama used to be almost harassed by depraved men, lucky there are friends who came. He helped mamah to risk his life, he almost died from blocking the knife that should have stuck in his chest."
"At that time you were 2 years old and Papah was going out of town, mamah came alone to meet with a mamah client. All started normally, we continued eating and chatting without making mamah suspicious. Until finally he took mamah to a place that mamah did not know the meaning."
Mamah cried again considering it all, "without knowing it turns out that my friend who wants to go home from work at the same hotel followed mamah until mamah was put into the room by force. All happened unexpectedly, mamah who had been almost harassed could still survive because the friend who was desperate to enter. Without regard to his threatened job fired if it violates the rules."
"It wasn't mamah that should have been critical, but he was in a coma for almost three months. Friends are willing to do all that to help mama. And now it's time for you to do the same. He never asked for anything in return. Just this time he asked after we hadn't met for long."
After hearing complaints and a well-wishers plea Nicko left for the office as usual, he has not even contacted Indah since last night. Not forgetting or avoiding, he is in the phase of thinking, strengthening the heart and deciding the choice. Although all hurt her heart and maybe the person she loves, but she must be able to solve all her problems.
Entering the office with a cold face like before, there is no desire to say hello again. His smile was gone even Adit said hello he was just silent.
"Loe why? the problem isn't over?"
"Living myself Dit, if you need a new signature here. Meeting today cancel first. While I don't accept guests, you can handle everything."
Adit who understood that Nicko was not okay finally relented, leaving the room without refuting. Just surprisingly, Nicko really did not bring a cigarette or drink to accompany a regular like when he was upset.
In school, Indah only focuses on the material that will be tested the day after tomorrow, the day is calm and the day after the first exam is held. Silence Beautiful also makes both friends understand and do not want to disturb. Not all problems can be shared just like that, they know Beautiful does not want to tell a story. Need privacy to be maintained, and it is not a problem for them as long as they see Beautiful healthy and do the right thing.
"Gue go back first yes, want to gramed nyari book to study later tonight. You guys wanna come with me?"
"Gue can't Ndah, maybe Asti?"
"Come with me, who knows where I've been diligent."
Indah and Asti went to Gramedia, looking for a book for tests. Take advantage of a quiet day to learn. Repeatedly Asti glanced at Beautiful who was silent reading, even Asti so follow along. The seriousness of Beautiful is contagious even though Asti was initially confused by the attitude of Beautiful who incarnated like a bookworm. With glasses that he never used, now Beautiful choose to sit in the corner of the hallway by bending his legs. Asti followed without asking much, until the evening they came home with a scraping bag containing books.
"Holiday, right?"
"Yes, during the exam focus first. Beautiful, if there is a burden I hope you want to share with me. I'm not forcing but just reminding you that you're not alone."
Lovely smile and nod, "thank you As, I'm back..."
Today Nicko really no news, Chiko was not at school approaching, just looking from afar and then passed without leaving a word.
Nicko takes a job out of town for an indefinite period. He finally took the time to come in the next morning, go into the room with a bad feeling. Approaching the girl who is still curled up under the blanket. Some books decorate the bed, maybe Indah really spent her time to focus on learning.
She smiled at the beautiful face she missed so much. Gently rubbing her head Beautiful who may either be able to or may no longer be able to touch her.
"Sorry, I can't stay by your side, I failed to keep everything. I don't want to complicate your life, maybe it's hard for us. But all you need to know is that I love you all the time. I will continue to love you."
"I'm sorry, baby....." Nicko kissed her beautiful forehead so deep that her tears dripped down her girl's forehead. Then kiss a glimpse of Beautiful lips and leave with a tight chest.
Without him knowing, Beautiful heard and felt the same pain until now crying when Nicko really was gone.
