Nindi put some job applications in boutiques that anyone knows need part-time employees. Although he is very unlikely to be accepted, especially Nindi while in college. But it's okay to try, a lot of impossible things can happen.
Finished also finally put the job application in the last place. Nindi gulped down a glass of the sweet ice she bought at a warteg near her cost.
Most visitors warteg creatures berjakun, Nindi lowered her head so that no one to flirt with her. Maybe that's how they unwind, teasing teenage girls as mere entertainment. Sometimes the owner of the newsman reprimands if teasing Nindi is outrageous, Nindi only smiles at a glance as a tribute to an older person.
The average resident of Warteg knows Nindi, because since moving Nindi often stopped by to buy food. Nindi's beautiful face and cheap smile so easy to remember by the warteg visitors.
“Mbak Nindi, this is orange ice so not cool. Sweet rich smile Mbak Nindi.” The seduction of men in green jackets who are now widely milling around in Jakarta.
“Do not believe Ma'am, he's his son is already 2. Same with me who is still a virgin.” Reply to another friend.
“Do not want mbak, ra due money aka destitute.”
Haha……
Nindi just laughed at the laughs of the men who were resting for lunch. They are good despite often teasing Nindi. Hanna, whom they know as Nindi's younger sister, is often offered to go home together if they meet on the street. Nindi lets Hanna know who brought her home. Of course Hanna memorized the dull faces that often tease Aunt Nindi.
Nindi's phone rang in the middle of the row, a number that Nindi was not familiar with entered.
“Good day...good ma'am Nindi's face clouded for a moment.
“Why Ma'am Nin?” Asked the man who saw Nindi's face change. Nindi smiled at a glance.
“No papa sir, I have to go to Hanna.” school Nindi tidied up her things.
“I drop off come, I'll take the package there.” Bid Pak Kadin who will go in the same direction.
“No hassle Sir?” That's pretty free.
“No, all the way.”
Mr. Kadin lives not far from the Nindi kosan. Hanna was often escorted by Mr. Kadin because his daughter was in school near Hanna's school. Nindi felt bad, but Mr. Kadin's wife also often told Hanna to come along instead of having to take an angkot to school.
“Tumben Mbak to school afternoon-afternoon?”
“Not know sir, the teacher said there's something to talk about Mr.” Answer Nindi politely.
“Ya already, I first yes mbak.” Nindi slipped the fare in the hands of Mr. Kadin.
“Thanks yes Sir.”
“Don't. All the way. This is for Hanna's snacks only.” Mr. Kadin returned the money Nindi gave him.
Nindi is grateful to have kind neighbors like Mr. Kadin and Mr. Surtini. They often help Nindi look after Hanna if there is an additional lecture and have to go home at night. Life without relatives is not easy in a big city, must be mentally strong.
Nindi sat behind Hanna who was next to her classmate named Gebby. Hanna reportedly grabbed Gabby's hair until it fell out. The confused Nindi just listened to Hanna's homeroom explanation, the little boy had a fight like this. An adult who has to finish with a cold head.
“Han, is it true Hanna grabbed Gabby's hair?” Hanna did not reply, her face was flushed red withstanding emotions. “Tante Nindi knows Hanna couldn't have done it for nothing. Try telling me.” Persuade Nindi because Hanna is still silent.
“Small is already playing hands to be what later if it is big.” Gabby's emotional mother speaks at will.
“Mom sorry well, don't blame without knowing what really happened.” Nindi knows who Hanna is. He was pandi, never once did he bother let alone do harm to himself and others. “Try Gabby, tell me what Gabby and Hanna argue.” Gabby was also just silent.
“Kids, you guys have to story. So that we can solve the problem together.” Class guardian Hanna tried to be neutral. “Mom won't have any more commotion like this.”
Suddenly Hanna's sobs broke, Nindi hugged Hanna tightly. Never once did Hanna look as beaten as she is now. Nindi didn't say anything, she just hugged Hanna. The conversation did not resume because the teacher suggested Nindi take Hanna home and try heart-to-heart talk.
After school, Nindi takes Hanna to the park, buying Hanna's favorite ice cream to treat a little of the sadness that Hanna is feeling.
“Enak Han?”
“Enak, thank you Aunt Nin.” Nindi nodded, both of them licked the ice cream to the end.
Nindi takes Hanna on foot back home. Want to spend the afternoon unwind. Every now and then Hanna and Nindi swung their hands high at Hanna's crisp laughter. A child if sad is easily lost. They can forget in an instant their sadness.
Tinnnn…
Compact Nindi and Hanna turned to look for the source of the voice.
“Come in.” Hanna looked into Nindi's eyes. Nindi shook her head to make Hanna disappointed.
“No sir, we walk only.” Reject Nindi politely.
“I've never been rejected, and I don't want anyone to refuse.” Nindi really wanted to feel cursing, no one asked to take her home. “Quick login.” The sound of a sea horn asked Ivar to immediately drive his car.
“Come way Master, jammed long behind.”
“You guys think I'm an online taxi! One sitting in front.” Ivar's orders, Nindi immediately goes down and puts Hanna in the front seat.
This guy has been showing up lately. My life is hard enough now God, help me.
“Hanna, you like to eat no Pizza?” Hanna's eyes sparkle “See my eyes only.” Ivar held back Hanna who was looking for answers to her aunt who was sitting on the back bench. Hanna nodded with a three-finger smile on her lips.
Nindi was happy to see Hanna being able to smile cheerfully again. He was willing to follow Ivar for his beloved nephew.
Ivar ordered a large pizza of Hanna's choice. The wench slashed until Hanna could not bear to want to devour it immediately.
“Eits, Hanna hasn't washed her hands yet.” Hanna tapped her cheek while smiling. His feet were lightning fast towards the dishwasher.
“Hmm…..Nin, do you have a girlfriend?”
Uhukkk.
Ivar thrust a bottle of mineral water at Nindi. “Slows Nin, indeed no one has ever asked you have a boyfriend or not?”
“The question is weird, I got choked.” Nindi's face flushed instantly.
There was noise coming from behind. Ivar who realized Hanna was there ran into the commotion. “What's up?” Ivar was holding Hanna whose clothes were a little wet.
“Master why not take care of it properly. My son's clothes get wet all like this.” Hanna meets Gabby.
“Sorry Lady Hanna must have done it by accident.” Ivar chose to avoid angry women.
“Basic son of a pesky carrier!” Ivar stop. Words are inappropriate for a little girl like Hanna.
Ivar with his fierce face returned to the table of the woman who had fouled Hanna. “Say once again.” Gabby's mother was silent, she was terrified to see Ivar look so angry. “He's your friend?” Hanna shook her head, Gabby was never good to her. Being nice is a friend, which does not mean not a friend, according to Hanna's understanding.
“Master, already Sir. Don't be in trouble.” Nindi fears Hanna is shunned by her friends at school.
“An old woman is like her but her mind is no better than a 10-year-old. Don't you dare touch Hanna. Or you will regret.”Ivar's bluff scared Gabby and cried.
Seeing Gabby crying, Hanna smiled happily. Gabby has been bothering him for a long time. He's a kid who doesn't like it in school because he often does naughty things.
“Spend yes sweet sister. Don't be afraid anymore.” Nindi was moved to see Ivar as if she knew Hanna's heartbreak.
“Can I complain if someone bullies me?” Ivar nodded.
“Save Hanna number here. If anyone bothers Hanna, quickly contact Uncle.”
“I don't have a phone.” Looking at Nindi's face.
“Hahahha….All right, what's Mr Ivar's number?” Ivar feels like winning, finally being able to get Nindi's number without difficulty.
Indeed, Ivar's goal came this time to try to get Nindi's number. The road is very smooth like the streets of Jakarta on Eid al-Fitr.
“Hay...”.
Nindy glanced at her vibrating phone. His eyes glared at Ivar who was smiling at him.
“Why is your smile so sweet?”
Again the message that made Nindi blushed embarrassed, Ivar could have sent a message when he was next to her.
“Hanna want again?” Hanna shook her head, her stomach was already very full now.
Finished eating Pizza Ivar took Hanna around the Mall for a while, whereas the reason he just wanted to linger with Nindi. Some hadian Ivar bought it even though Hanna didn't ask for it. Of course Ivar happily gave it to her, Hanna who made it so much closer to Nindi now.
“Aduh, Hanna sleep” Nindi is no longer strong carrying Hanna's heavy body.
“Let me take her home.” Nindi refuses for fear of inconveniencing Ivar.
Ivar let Nindi who was trying to lift Hanna's body.
“Do not force yourself if it is not able.” Ivar's words seemed to slap Nindi's heart. “Just trust me.” Nindi obeyed Ivar.
The journey to the boarding house can not use the car, the alley to the boarding is too narrow, can only be passed by a motorcycle or pedestrian. Nindi walked behind Ivar who was carrying Hanna. A scene that makes Nindi's neighbors think Ivar is Nindi's lover.
“Mbak Shouted Surtini's mother from the terrace of her house. Nindi just smiled not wanting to respond.
