Along the way, Bara kept smiling. He had never felt this happy before. Not a little imagined by the meeting that could make him close to the girl pujaan.
"Where is your house, Nirmala?" Bara who suddenly asked crushes the reverie of Nirmala.
"My house is not far from the flower shop. In the Blue Gem Complex Block B2," replied Nirmala detail. "But take me to the rice stall at the end of the street," pointed Nirmala at the lined building.
"okay!" answer the Brief.
"By the way.. Instead of the complex where you live it includes elite housing huh?" tanya Bara was curious.
"I-iya, he said that anyway," replied Nirmala clumsily.
Bara chuckled, "You're so funny Nirmala. But if you are left there where the dominant people are, why should you be tired of working in the place of the Uni?"
Nirmala fell silent, she most disliked that her privacy problems were questioned by others especially by someone she just knew. "Nothing, than diem kept at home. Bored."
"Are you not in college?" bara asked again to disturb Nirmala's mood. With the girl's residence behind her back, Bara chose not to ask anything more. "This rice stall, isn't it?" Bara stopped Nirmala's motor in front of the blue building.
Nirmala pulled her head. "I-iya this warung. Sorry, I was a little daydreaming."
Joseph who saw Nirmala coming with a foreign man, of course, his heart was turbulent. Between jealousy, anger and wonder. This time the girl was with a man.
"Loe who?" joseph rebuked Bara. He watched the young man before him from top to toe. "Eh busyet. Where from his appearance he looks like a rich man. Lah I .. I'm just a rice-seller's son sitting."
"Gue his friend Nirmala .. was accidentally met on the street. He ran out of car-snapping" explained Bara who did not want the man in front of him to be mistaken.
"Passed car?" pekik Yusuf was surprised. His gaze turned towards Nirmala. "Neng, which part is sick? The head? The hand? The foot? Let's go to the doctor...."
"I'm fine, Bang. It's just a sore leg, but it's good" explained Nirmala because Yusuf looked very panicked.
Yusuf mangosteen. "Here, help get off the bike!"
Nirmala wanted to refuse and at the same time Bu Ina came out of the shop. "Suf, let Neng Mala be with Mum. You bought a whipped parem at Engko's stall, gih."
"Yes, Mommy.." replied Joseph limp. He asked for the key to Nirmala's bike and Bara handed it over. The young man who was jealous stared intently at his dislike.
"Here Neng, I help you get down." Ms. Ina embraced Nirmala and pushed the girl into the house. While Bara remained silent in his place, quarreling with Joseph who had not yet moved. Until the sound of Ina's cry forced the son to quickly leave.
"Suf.. cepet buyin whipped parem! This Kasian Neng Mala...!"
"Yes, this is Joseph going...!!" sahut Yusuf then climbed on a motorbike and roared the sound of gas.
Bara just shook his head with the behavior of the young man in front of him. "Who's this guy, is he Nirmala's boyfriend?"
Bara was deep in his own thoughts, to the point of not realizing that Ms. Ina was already standing right in front of him. "Sir..let's go in!"
Bara. "Eh. Yes, Mom...."
The young man wearing a suit of t-shirts and jeans followed Ina to enter his house. He sat in an empty chair facing Nirmala.
"Ah. don't bother, ma'am. I won't be long either. Just take Nirmala home alone," Bara refused the offer of Ina ma'am. However, Ina still entered the kitchen and brought two glasses of water.
"Diminished, Deck." Ms. Ina kept the glasses on the table.
"Thank you, ma'am." said Bara politely.
Ms. Ina nodded. "Together...."
Bara glanced at Nirmala who was closed with her legs supported by a wooden bench. "Oh yes, you still remember, the car that grazed earlier. What color is the car, what number plate?"
Nirmala nodded. "Remember.I still remember very much."
"May I know? Let me help you find the identity of the drag. Because he has to account for his mistake" said Bara, who intends to pass the case on to the authorities.
Nirmala breathed. "It's okay, I don't want to prolong this. Anyway, I'm sure that the car accidentally hit my bike."
Ms. Ina clasped Nirmala's hand. "Miss... I know exactly how rich you are. You're too good to be a person. But sometimes we have to be firm on a mistake. Don't let that person do the same to others."
Nirmala stared fixedly at Ina and then glanced towards Bara for a moment. He digested every single thing that the middle-aged woman said to him was something true.
"Alright Mak... Nirmala recalls what Mom said." The girl took a notebook from the bag and wrote down the license plate number of the vehicle that had caused her harm. "This is the number, the perpetrator's car is black." Nirmala handed Bara a piece of paper.
Bara read the note at a glance then put it in the wallet. "Well, I'll go home first, ma'am... Nirmala's...."
"Thank you once more." answered Nirmala with a faint smile.
Bara nodded and withdrew from the house of Ina. The middle-aged woman drove Bara to the front of the house. "Thank you Dek, for helping my mother's child."
"Together, ma'am." replied Bara.
Ms. Ina was clamoring because she realized that the young man standing in front of her had come with Nirmala. "Mom forgot .. in this area there is no ojek. To the front of the highway far enough."
"It's okay, Mom. Let me walk.." added Bara. Joseph returned at the right time.
"Well, it just so happened that my mother's son had come home." Bu Ina asked for a shaken param from his son's hand. "Suf. anterin nirmala's cement to the highway. Cassian she's on foot."
"Let's go, Mom. Most of the young people have to walk a lot, to be healthy!" great-grandson Yusuf.
Ina pulled out Joseph's ear. "Dare to argue with Mom, hm...?"
Joseph grimaced in pain. "Sorry Mak. yep, Joseph anterin this stranger to the highway."
Ms. Ina took her hand off the ear lobe. "Well that's it. It's just Mom's kid."
Joseph rubbed his hot ears and grumbled in his heart. His face was very visible if he was annoyed at the young man named Bara.
