It's been 5 months since Nicho arrived at my workplace. For me it's pretty easy to get information about him because he's so famous in this office. From there I can conclude that Nicho Ramadhan they mean is not my brother. The person I avoid to meet.
I was too afraid to hear the news of his happiness with another woman.
At that moment I was surprised. Sister Nicho introduced me to a woman named Azizah Putri Wulandari. Even said if they were going to get engaged.
That time....
5 Years ago. On May 31, 2015
In a phone call.
"Mom tomorrow Seninkan Ara's birthday. Ara wants to go home. Ara kangen's"
"Yes Nak. Mom wait yes. Mother also misses Ara" the voice of the middle-aged woman over there who I always miss.
"Miss you Mom's. See you later!"
"Yes dear" replied Mother briefly.
I smile. It was so exciting to imagine how wonderful it would be if we got together again. With my two parents and Sister Nicho, my true love.
Since I decided to study at UGM, I have been boarding in Jogja. Actually, even if I want to go home quite close, it's just that my parents did not give permission.
I majored in literature. I want to be a good housewife and a writer. I can do my work after I'm done with the housework of a housewife. Unfortunately, that hope is only my wishful thinking.
The Monday I was waiting for came. I arrived at my house about 30 minutes ago. I've been busy cooking yellow rice to throw a little party on my birthday.
His handsome gait keeps on looming over me. Highlight her dim but charming blue eyes. And don't forget her thin lips that often make me lose my mind to kiss her thin lips.
He said today Sister Nicho will surprise me.
"Ahhhhh.... Brother Nicho give me a gift what?" muttered.
Hii.hii..... I smiled back at my wish to kiss her.
"Aduhh... Princess Ara what are you smiling at?" Nicho's sister is walking down my cheek with her index finger. Then sit next to me.
"Ihhhh Kak Nicho ngagetin tauuu.." I replied with a frown.
"Sister Nicho what gift for the future wife of the sister ? Isn't today sister's future wife's birthday?"
I used to tease Sister Nicho so. I want him to know that I really expect him. I smiled at him. I saw her face flushed with shame. And a little trembling answered.
"Aa...what the hell is Dek? Which wife?"
"Yayak Mutiara Sari Sister's future wife. Kan adek has told you from the beginning if later adek gedhe wants to marry his sister. My sister promised, too. How is Kak. Promise to be kept" I replied while pursing my lips, sulking.
I'm back to teasing Sister Nicho. Sister Nicho's face turned red to the ears. Sister Nicho let out a long breath. With a heavy voice, Sister Nicho began to speak.
"Nihh Sister Nicho said yes. Brother is adek but only limited to brother and sister. It's okay if the brother and sister get married. Ara time doesn't know. Kan Ara is already big, now is 20 years old"
Those are not the words I want to hear. I looked at him inside. The clouds in my eyes are getting heavier. Once the wind blows, it will fall into a rain of tears.
"Bad Nicho!!!" sarcas.
I ran into the room. And crying reveals how painful this reality is.
I ignored the voice of Sister Nicho calling me. He knocked on my locked door. Time and time again.
This mana water trickled back involuntarily. For a moment I realized from my daydream, I immediately wiped my tears. I have to get back to work. I looked back at the computer monitor to re-create the stock data.
"Ra, kok lo lately different why? Emang lo tuh very introvert but not after we know you look jolly. Now how often do I get to daydream again?" sela asked in a probing tone.
I'm shocked. I don't know if there's Sela peeking at the door.
I smiled," Ahhh. gapapa kok, I just kangen aja ma Mother"
"Kalo lo kangen ya go home. Rebid. Why work to dream of that cake. Mending go home first. Smiling at you while they're alive!" sella.
I heaved a sigh of relief, luckily Sela did not see me cry.
Sella walked over to me and stroked the top of my head full of love.
I just nodded. I miss very much. It's been 5 years, I've never seen my parents. Since then.
Honestly, I miss them very much. But I can't hear even a little bit about Sister Nicho. I'm selfish. Yes... Yes but what can I do?!
I spread both my hands up. Loosen the stiff muscles in both my hands and feet. Fiiuhhhh. Departing early in the morning home at night. Sometimes I have to go overtime.
Yahh.... know for yourself office girls what kind of work? Grasping worker, the carpenter was told to but well want how again. Who told DO from college? I glared, snapped at my own inner war.
This is all my fault. Mistakes at a young age that I can't repeat. There is no point in me lamenting it.
"Life is like the comic world. Isekai seems interesting" I giggled at my own monologue. Maddened...
I make sure the office is in good condition. And luckily tonight there's no vip meeting. So I can go home in time. At least 7pm until the boarding. May it rain. I want to sleep well with the rain. Calm and peaceful.
Sure enough when I arrived at the office lobby, heavy rain flushed the city of Jakarta. Damnit. I forgot to bring my umbrella again. Ouchuhh... I mean it's raining later if I get home. This just want to go home even raining really hard. I patted my eel. Piqued.
My phone rings.
/ Nina undercook
Sorry Ra's. I'm coming home late.
/I
I also did not come home
/ Nina undercook
Mean lo?????
I grin. I ignored Nina's message.
"Tumben Nina's home late? Why ya?" muttered.
I looked around the lobby. Which is getting quieter. Only a few vip employees had just stepped out of the elevator. There are some cleaning services that greet me. And pass it by. I wasn't very familiar with them but somehow they knew my name.
There were some male co-workers who offered me a ride home but I shook my head loudly.
I was standing in front of the lobby waiting for the rain to subside . The rain is so heavy. Lightning sounded jarring making goosebumps.
I faintly heard a familiar voice in my ear. I looked and saw that my phone had fallen unconscious.
Diaaa....
