If You Love Him

Chapter 6 Is It Really Wrong?

A car stops right in front of Nisa, when the glass is lowered he can see Akim ducking down to look at her. A smile replaced their greeting, Nisa also entered and sat right beside him.

"You shouldn't bother picking me up" he said.

"It doesn't matter, I have to take responsibility. I picked you up so I'll have to take you home, too" he said.

"Not so, then how's Sany's dad doing?" tanyakanya.

"Vertigo, it only needs to be treated for a few days."

"May her father recover quickly" murmured Nisa.

Their conversation did not continue, along the path that was only a few minutes, finally ended their meeting when they arrived in front of Nisa's boarding house.

......................

Only this time Nisa realized that her office friend who did not go to work, usually she would not know anything that happened in the office if it had nothing to do with her.

Seeing Sany's empty desk made her feel a little lonely, but she was usually comfortable with solitude.

Not only Nisa but other friends also feel lonely because of Sany's absence, it is only the child who makes the office so crowded.

When they found out that Sany did not come in they immediately asked the reason, if the sick Sany was not his father, of course, they would go home from work to see him.

The days that used to be now suddenly returned, Nisa had lunch only accompanied by Nilam. And when he came home, he walked alone with his mouth still.

It's just that now home to the boarding house there is Mily the kitten he just adopted welcome his return, his small feet make a trail on the carpet around Nisa.

"Hi Mily, are you hungry? I'm sorry I came home a little late" he said, lifting the animal's hairy body.

Nisa immediately took out the food and sowed it in Mily's bowl, after taking the kitten down she let him eat while he was about to go change clothes.

Just now Nisa finished cleaning her face an incoming message that made her reach for the bag, take the phone from inside it turns out she got a message from Akim.

"You're home from work? jaya and I are going to the cafe, you want to come?" that's how the message is.

Glancing at Mily who was still eating he then replied.

"I'm planning on taking my pet cat to the vet, if you don't mind can we go there first?."

"No problem, I'll pick you up in five minutes."

"OK," replied Nisa.

Meeoonngg..

As if understanding being talked about Mily moved from her bowl and approached Nisa, her cute face made Nisa's heart shake and rubbed the cat's body with her forehead.

"Let's get ready!" bring him.

Putting Mily down, she changed her clothes and put Mily in the cage when she was ready, then she came out as soon as Akim told them they had arrived.

"Your cat is sick?" ask Akim.

"No, it's just a regular checkup. At first he was a stray cat because it could be dangerous if not checked, I'm afraid he's suffering from a disease that I don't understand."

"That's it," said Akim with a smile.

He was quite amazed at Nisa who was willing to pick up street cats, let alone provide care that was certainly troublesome.

Immediately into the car they went to the nearest animal clinic, Jaya chose to wait for a special area for smokers while Akim came in.

"I'm amazed at you, even if you first raised an animal, but you know what to do. Feral cats like Mily must be examined immediately, fearing that she might carry diseases that also endanger you. It's a good thing he's healthy and I've injected him as well" the veterinarian said kindly.

Nisa just smiles getting compliments, despite first raising an animal but she is insightful enough to know what she has to do.

After the examination was completed they returned to the car, immediately sliding into the cafe topic they chatted not far from Mily.

"It's okay, I'll open the glass a little so that there's air coming in. He is also in the cage" said Akim.

"All right, let's go in!" bring Jaya.

Following the two men Nisa came in and took a seat right in front of them, without Sany's presence apparently Nisa unchanged. He remains a better listener.

"Eh Nis kak Eka invites you tomorrow at Arumi's birthday event," said Jaya, who just remembered the message from her brother.

"What time? I'm still working tomorrow" he asked.

"Night ko, you can go with Akim. He was also invited" he said.

"Later to pick you up," continued Akim.

"Oh, okay."

Changing the topic of Jaya venting her work problems, currently she is very upset at her boss who continues to give work so sometimes she has to overtime.

Nisa only smiles, while Akim laughs at her friend's misfortune.

"Eh I go back first yes," Jaya interrupted in the middle of the chat while patting Akim's shoulder.

They nodded, letting Jaya and silence pass. Slowly Akim's eyes were then fixed on the hands of Nisa who could not stop arranging the fries, one by one the fries he stacked up to form a new box then he ate in sequence.

Fftt..

Trying to hold back the laughter Akim turned his face away.

"What's wrong?" nisa is confused.

"No, it's just that you're like a kid. You like to play with food" he said.

Nisa who realized then looked at her fries neatly arranged on the plate, she contracted it and laughed.

"Habuhood," he said.

"If compared to Sany you are very different," he said.

"Really?" ask Nisa.

"Yes, Sany is very noisy and chatty while you're quiet. Sany is unruly and grumpy while you're submissive and patient, you look more mature and reliable."

"You are, too" replied Nisa.

"You're like me and Jaya is like Sany, aren't we a silly pair of best friends?" he added.

"Not silly but complementary," Akim said.

Nisa just smiled, she took back her fries and put them in her mouth. When chewing a thought passes which he then utters.

"Because you're like me, more mature so you like girls like Sany. A cheerful girl."

"What do you mean?" akim asked with raised eyebrows.

"You like Sany, don't you?" obviously Nisa.

"No! who said it?" saith.

"No need to pretend, I can see clearly that you like it. You're very considerate of her" said Nisa.

"Does every thought mean to like? he's my friend and a girl anyway, of course as a man I'm quite considerate. Moreover, we have known for a long time," he replied.

"Really?" ask Nisa for the last time.

"of course! don't get me wrong" said Akim insistent.

Nisa just smiled, although Akim's lips said no but she saw that expression as if it was very made up. It was as if he wanted to cover up from the world and lie to the heart that there was never such a liking.
