"I'm Tired, I Want to Give Up "
Meeting Childhood Friends
Bu Sri slightly lowered her head to hide her embarrassment because she felt that she had been spotted by one of her fellow artists whose mouth did like to comment. "*Then I was found unregarded**again my son-in-law, Nada. Loss of self-esteem**this is because the Nada did not rebuke me. Or* *don't-don't the Nada did not see me*," mutter Bu Sri pensive.
After removing the discomfort in his bladder, Nada immediately left the toilet. Again to go to the table he was in with Elang and Sya, had to pass through the crowd of his mother-in-law. But Nada had an idea, she just happened to feel nauseous. Tone turns right towards the ice cream stand and fruit soup. Incidentally when feeling nauseous there are foods that can suppress the nausea.
"*Es cream and fruit soup is my savior to**not met**directly with mom*," Inner Nada as she heads to the ice cream stand. "Ahhh. is quite fresh" he whispered as ice cream headed for his throat.
"Sone....!" shock someone when Tone is cool feeding ice cream in his mouth. It was completely fresh in his mouth and throat as the ice cream entered his mouth.
Tone immediately turned his head and investigated who had surprised him earlier. As Nada turned around and looked towards that person, Nada did not immediately recognize the young man. It is estimated that the young man was 3 years older than him.
Neat, handsome, and fragrant, the impression that Nada captured. As familiar, but Nada does not remember. "Who is it?" ask the heart of Nada.
"You're the Tone of the Rhythm, right?" asked the young man trying to recall Nada's memory.
"Yes....!" he cried, while remembering who the young man before him was.
"You don't know me anymore, do you?" Once again the man in front of Nada tried to remind Nada of who she was.
"Remember no, when we were kids? You had a childhood friend and he once declared his love for you, but we had to split up because I moved to Sulawesi with my parents, and I had to go to Singapore," he tried to remind Nada back.
"Sir Nadie....!" yang Nada slightly jumped. There was a sense of excitement when he met his childhood friend. The handsome young man nodded and smiled happily while holding onto Nada's fingers. The tone that realized it immediately brushed aside slowly. The young man named Nadie was a little surprised and looked disappointed in his handsome face.
Nadie is Nada's childhood friend. They used to be neighbors. Because they often play together and the name is almost the same, by friends games are often betrothed. "Nadie Nadaaa, Nadie Nadaaa....!" that's how they were always arranged. Even so often saw Nadie take Nada together to school, by her friends dubbed the couple Romeo and Juliet. Even though going to school not both, but together with others.
Although they are different schools, the distance of the school is close. Nada is still Junior High School Class 3, and Nadie is already High School Class 3 as well. The name of the school is also the same because they are schools in Junior High School and State High School under the auspices of the government.
Nadie who was a teenager at that time had shot Nada and expressed love for Nada who was still Junior High. Although Nada never says yes, her gestures imply love. The love of school children for Nada makes an encouragement while studying. Nada felt embarrassed when it was known to her friends that they had been made.
But their monkey love story is not long, because of the distance that must be separated. When Nadie graduated from school, Nadie went to college in Singapore and moved with her parents to Sulawesi. At that time Nada was so sad, because she had to lose her childhood friend.
"Where...do you remember, right?" Nadie tries to break Nada's daydream, which is recalling a memory a few years ago.
"Yes, Nada remembers now. Kak Nadie why is it in Jakarta? This wedding, is Brother including the invited guests as well?" Tone of asking was full of curiosity.
"Yes obviously dong, I am the cousin of the groom," he replied making Nada surprised.
"What....?" Tone still doesn't believe.
"Yes.I'm cousin to Rudi. Kak Rudi is the son of Uwak I who is in Bandung," explained Nadie while enjoying the ice cream on the stand. Sometimes Nadie gets ice cream for Nada. As if going back in time, a teenage Nadie always buys frozen fruit ice in her neighbor's shop if she comes home from school, and Nada likes it especially ice fruit that has a taste of curiosities.
"You still like frozen ice, you know, don't you?" Nadie revived the memory of Nada in the past who loved the frozen fruit ice that taste good.
"Yes, Brother... Tone like," replied Nada.
"Where is Brother?" Curious tone.
"When we do, I want to repeat it again. And we go back to being lovers" she said with her eyes glaring far away.
"Huk, uhuk, uhuk....!" suddenly Nada coughed as if she was rubbing something. Nadie was so panicked that she quickly picked up the Tone of mineral water.
"Here drink," sodor Nadie who immediately grabbed Nada and drank.
Tone took his breath in and set it, that feeling of chuckle had really tormented him. Even though only swallow ice cream that texture is soft and not hard. His face turned red and his tears came out. "Geez, Nada!" Nadie's got tissue for Nada.
"Why, what's a sprain?" ask Nadie wonder.
"It's okay, brother. I don't know all of a sudden. Thank you for the mineral water," said Nada thank you.
"Yes, equally. Uh speaking of our past, is there still a chance for me to come back again?"
Tone silently did not answer, Nadie did not know the cause of Nada was sprains because the question that brought up the past and Nadie wanted to return. For Nada obviously can not, because he now belongs to people.
"Why don't you answer?" he was curious again. For Nada it's time to be straightforward.
"Actually, Tone is already....!"
"Mother....!" The cry of a boy spread out the words of the tone that was forced to hang. Nadie stares in surprise at Sya and the Eagle who is suddenly behind her.
"Who, them??" ask Nadie.
"Yes... Mas Eagle!" his surprise while reaching for Sya's hand.
"Let's go home....!" The eagle pulled Nada's hand slowly but the pressure on her wrist felt so strong that it made Nada slightly hurt. The face of the Eagle is different, not friendly anymore like before, as if holding anger.
The eagle paused for a moment then crouched down and held onto Sya. "Follow me, and we go home!" his words were firm while stepping long leaving the wedding party that still leaves many guests.
Tone followed the Eagle from behind, his mind going back several months. This incident is almost similar to the incident at Marisa's wedding. Tone that runs out of the toilet, accidentally meets Ramdan and Romi, friends when Nada is still working at the Supermarket first. Because long time no see, they keep talking, then caught by the Eagle who deliberately looking for Nada. It's like dejavu for Nada. Nada had expected the Eagle to be angry with her again, and guessed that Nada was not.
"Get in....!" slow jolt. Although slowly but the pressure felt to the heart of Nada. "She sat in the back. Don't protest!" decisively. He obeyed and just kept quiet. Maybe Sya was already sleepy so full when eating earlier.
The car came out of the building where his colleague Elang's wedding party was held. Then the Eagle car split the streets of the capital that began to be crowded with motorists and cars. Eagles drive with focus with a firm face and hold anger.
30 Minutes later, Eagle's car arrived in front of the gate of the house which was immediately received by the housekeeper, Usep. The gate opened and the Eagle put his car inside.
The eagle immediately exited the car, after the car was parked properly. The sleeping One was lifted up and held in his lap, and carried the Eagle into the room. Time shows at half-seven in the night, which means that Sya sleeps faster than usual.
The eagle followed Nada who had entered first into the room, then closed the door tightly. I don't know what the Eagle's gonna do. While Nada was in the bathroom cleaning herself.
The eagle came back again out giving Nada a chance in the bathroom. Five minutes later the Eagle returned to the room, went out to the balcony, lit a cigarette, and smoked it. The plume of smoke signified the anger of the Eagle who was still restrained. What happened to the Eagle, what made the Eagle angry?
