Escapees

Families

Dika rushed back home after talking to Kian. He wants to meet that one person soon. He did not go into futsal. He wanted to ask Nadine directly about her divorce with Kian.

All the way home Dika thought about Kian's words. He did not expect that his suspicion was really happening.

Yes, Dika did have time to suspect something must be wrong. Because he felt increasingly impossible to pass the moment or important condition of his wife just for the sake of work as the reason said mbaknya.

I feel like I'm not that type of person. However, he tried to brush off the curiosities. She believes that her sister's marriage is okay.

Then, now, his suspicions, questions about the negligence of Kian on the day of Nadine's graduation, until Nadine was treated, were answered already. Kian did not come because they had separated and mbaknya really want to stay away from Kian.

Inexhaustible, Dika rubbed his face riled. He thought his mother nature who likes to keep her own problems will change after marriage. In fact, that trait is still rooted in Nadine.

Nadine is smart to hide the problems she is facing. His cute character makes him look lifeless without burden. It is the same with others, also faced with the problems of life. He chooses to face and solve his own problems rather than asking for opinions or solutions from others.

According to him, other people are never in his position so do not know the right solution to the problem he is facing. But not necessarily the solution he made was the best.

One of them when he has a problem with difficulty focusing on completing the final task. The solution he chose was to ask Kian to stay away but still want to make friends with Heru. Supposedly, at that time, Nadine stopped dealing with Kian and Heru. The solution instead ended in him being run over until vilified by Ria, Heru's ex-wife.

Unfortunately, Nadine has not been literate with her bad habits that like to harbor, and solve problems on her own without wanting to tell stories to listen to the opinions of others. Even if he wants to listen to the opinions of others, this is a very rare thing.

There is no harm in telling stories or asking for the opinion of others, as long as the person is at least trustworthy and not provocative. After all, there is also no need to use the recommended solution. Opinions of others that give consideration and minimize the occurrence of errors in formulating solutions.

While looking for a solution, Nadine usually looks for an escape from her problem first. For example by busy yourself, by traveling, or eating, watching, reading novels and so on. Anyway, whatever makes it can divert his brain from thinking about the problems he is facing. Thank goodness his brain forgot about the problem. However, despite running away, he never forgot the problem at hand. But it should be like that, right? Problems to face and find solutions. Not looking for escape to avoid problems even to forget to have problems. That's how Nadine is. There is good, there is bad too.

Dika has arrived home. He rushed to meet his mom who was watching a Korean drama its okay to not be okay marathon in his room.

"Sir, I came in, yes" Dika said after knocking on Nadine's room door.

"Just in, Ka" said Nadine.

Dika opens the door to Nadine's room and sits on the chair of Nadine's desk.

"Where?" Ask Nadine. Dika handed over all food orders Nadine and deposit Kian. Nadine put the atomic bean setoples she held under her bed. Then he took what Dika handed over.

"Much koq? You're just an eating message?" Nadine wonder.

"It was from Mas Kian, mbak" explained Dika.

"Ooo..."

"Eh what!? Any more? You mean this is from Mas Kian?" Repeat Nadine while lifting 2 bags of groceries full of snacks and fruits. Dika nodded. Nadine was immediately downcast. He put the shopping bag under his bed. Then he focused his eyes on the laptop. Nadine was trying to cover up the sadness that was present in her heart by trying to act ordinary.

Meanwhile, Dika shook her head many times looking at her behavior. Astonished at once amazed by Nadine's ability and effort to cover up the fact that she and Kian had separated.

"Why are you still here? Want to watch Korean dramas too? Here if so, deketan mbak" Nadine patted the side next to him.

"No, ma'am" replied Dika.

"Trus wants what? Request this? The siomay? Meatballs? Or soto?"

"No, mbak"

"What donk?"

"Honest beans ijo? Or honestly market hawker?" Nadine ngeles.

"So, seriously"

"Whatwhat? Directly say. Don't play guessing. You can't" said Nadine Long.

"But I don't have to be honest"

"Depends on what question?"

"But, ma'am, watch out" Dika was about to rise from his seat. However, abort.

"Well, yes, try to answer honestly"

"Divorce with Mas Kian?" Ask Dika directly without opening sentences.

"Yes, but you don't tell Mom or Dad" Nadine replied honestly.

"Why, anyway, mbak? It's okay parents know"

"What's wrong? Mbak is afraid that his mother's father is disappointed, sad because he got divorced when he just got married" said Nadine.

"Mbak was planning to tell my father and mother, but not now" he added.

"And equally, mbak, the end is also the mother's father was disappointed with the divorce mbak"

"Yes, Ka. Yes, no need to talk about this anymore. Ma'am does not want to discuss it anymore" Nadine began to unwrap siomay and try not to care about the presence of his sister.

"Why, anyway, Ma'am? Why the solution to divorce? Why not find another solution? For example by reporting Riani to the authorities?" Investigate Dika.

"Then after that intimate photos of mas Kian spread? That, you mean?" Nadine's tone was high. He's getting upset.

"Bak doesn't want the future to fall apart. The image of Mas Kian can be smeared and exhausted instantly because of something he did not do. Especially mas Kian is an educator who is responsible for setting a good example for students. Not to mention his famous image as an idealist activist. Destroyed everything, Ka" Nadine explained.

"You can imagine if those intimate photos were scattered. Imagine what the impact would be as big as. Kian will not only lose his job but diblacklist. While Mas Kian still has many responsibilities, one of them is responsibility with his family. Who would support his family if not Mas Kian? You?" Nadine sighed, many times. Trying to dampen emotions.

"Who wants to part with Mas Kian? You don't want to, actually, you don't want to. Heavy, Ka, part with men as good as him. Don't want to, I don't want to. But how else? It was the only way I could save a man I loved so much" Nadine hurriedly wiped her tears from her cheeks.

"Yes there must be another solution besides separation" Dika insisted.

"That's the only way to save Mas Kian, there's no other choice"

"There must be, there must be, mbak habit of deciding for yourself, but..."

"When, enough, get out of the mbak room, and don't discuss the matter of divorce mbak same Mas Kian again, in front of anyone"

"In front of your own mother, Nad?"
