JODOHKU MR. DUDA

Barely Wretched

Nisa sits alone in a coffee shop while enjoying lunch. This time his choice fell on Chicken parmigiana for his lunch. Processed chicken meat wrapped in bread flour and then doused in tomato sauce and given melted parmesan cheese, quite safe for the stomach.

Although Nisa knows the calories contained in it are quite large, but she does not care. Perhaps by enjoying this menu, the mood will improve again. The woman had just called home, for some reason so missed her two children.

Angga and Nina still want to welcome her phone, but El.

"Let me talk to him. Such an age child can not be too forced, slowly. Maybe he feels you are not paying attention to him anymore" Angga said calmly.

Nisa could only sigh, hoping that Angga could give some sense to El.

A waiter brought a bottle of mineral water, although Nisa had ordered Vittoria coffee before. Immediately gulped water in the packaging, his chest felt plong, but his anxiety did not want to also disappear.

The problem is not only El, the man she just met has made her nervous even since last night.

Nisa thinks her introduction on the beach with Axel, will end just like that. However, apparently rejecting the offer of his own countrymen is very difficult if it is in the country of people.

"Only?" axel's asking is still by the beach.

"Currently yes, because I want to be alone. But I came here with the troupe."

"May I befriend?"

"Please, as long as you guarantee, no woman will pull my hair from behind."

Axel laughed broadly. "I can guarantee that. Why think like that?"

Nisa turned around, walking away from the shore. The night began to creep.

"It's only natural that men like you still like adventure. Especially in a faraway place like this."

"I think I should change my appearance. Either through plastic surgery or dyed the hair white and put on a stick."

Nisa chuckles at Axel's jokes. Quite friendly and interesting, but there was something in her that made Nisa have to stay alert.

They continued to chat while having dinner at the hotel pub where Nisa was staying.

At first Nisa was quite surprised, while Axel found out where she was staying.

"That's my other skill as well" he replied with a meaningful smile.

.

.

"Sorry I have to go back to the room" said Nisa politely and gracefully.

"I'm with you."

Nisa frowned, stopped her steps and looked back.

"No, I remember the number."

"Don't get me wrong, look at the men all the way home. They won't stop interrupting until you get through the exit." Of course it was a lie, Axel was just trying to get Nisa to grant the request.

"Is lying to people on your list of skills?" reply Nisa while continuing the path.

Axel smiled as he ruffled his waist, an attractive woman in his opinion. He soon pursued Nisa. Along the way he constantly told me about the people and the areas they visited. Nisa let it go, just think of it as hospitality between Indonesian citizens.

"It's here, thanks for dropping off."

"It's not a problem for a friend."

"So we're friends?"

"If you will."

"There's no harm in adding to the list of friends." Nisa attached the cardlock card to open the door.

"thank you. It would be more meaningful if you invited this friend in."

Nisa's eyes bought, quickly pulled back the door that had opened. "Sorry eastern customs I still hold, even now in the land of people."

And sure enough, when Nisa was going to enjoy breakfast with her team, the man was already sitting at one of the tables. Welcomed Nisa with meaningful looks and smiles.

Making Nisa rattling herself. He did not like Axel to behave like that, especially when he was with his team. It was an unhealthy start to the day.

Nisa left the store in a state of anxiety. His anxiety made Nisa slightly off guard.

He was checking his phone when someone pushed him in the back. Nisa was pushed forward, the small bag she held in her hand just slipped away. Along with that the phone in his hand was taken.

Among her confusion to save the bag or mobile phone, Nisa chooses to save her bag from the hands of the troublemaker. There are passports and small wallets that store ktp and several ATMs. It would be troublesome if all of that disappeared.

But Nisa realizes too late, the troublemaker is not alone. When he had just turned away, about to shout for help, someone pushed him back. Almost Nisa was thrown into the middle of the road, if a man did not immediately catch her and immediately pulled her to the side of the road.

With a quick movement the helper threw a kick towards the troublemaker. His long legs hit the stomach of the troublemaker. Making his opponent's stomach twitch in pain, then fall down. Seeing his friend easily paralyzed by the helper man, making other troublemakers run off the ridge.

"Leave it! No need to be chased!" prevent Nisa when she sees her helper man wanting to chase after her.

"Sorry, you have to give up a cell phone for the thief" the man said as he handed Nisa's bag. While one of his legs is still resting on the body of an ill-fated troublemaker who did not have time to escape.

"Axhel!" nisa's screams unconsciously. Not expecting the person who ruined his mood today, it was precisely that person who saved him from this tragedy.

"Meet again. Well want to get 'rat' on this one?" Axel pulled the collar of that troublemaker's shirt. To stand in front of Nisa.

At first, Nisa did not want to dispute the incident. The bag is back. However, everything changes when he gets to know who the troublemaker, thief or whatever his name is!

***

"Mass should be here, today too! I found it Mas."

"What's right, Dek? Not wrong people?"

"Maybe it is not. I'll send you a picture."

"You send now. If it's true he's Pradipta, I'm looking for a flight today."

"Ok, Mas" said Nisa. Not waiting for long, the photo of the thief's face has arrived on Angga's phone.

Angga immediately booked a ticket that day when he saw a photo sent by his wife.

Meanwhile, their Pradipta is holding in Axel's room. Apparently Axel was staying at the same hotel as Nisa. The woman almost laughed when she found out about it, it turns out Axel could know about the origin because the man had met Nisa in the lobby.

"It turns out your eyes and ears are used to stalking others as well."

"Only for women, but my habit is useful in the end."

Nisa clucked, pretending to be indifferent. He had to hold back his smile. Somehow with Axel, he can be free to express without the need to maintain authority.

***

The incident that Nisa experienced that afternoon, had already spread to all members of her team. They know because they can't call Nisa's number while they're looking for her. How can it be connected, the number chip of the phone may have been discarded by the thief.

"No pa pa pa, think of it as shit. Ok, we continue again," said Nisa. At the time, his employees were very worried about his situation.

Nisa immediately buys a new phone to prove to her employees that everything is fine.

"What's up, Xel?" ask Nisa wonder. Axel seemed to be deliberately waiting for him in the hotel lobby that evening.

"You'd better see for yourself" Axel replied full of question marks.

"See who? A pradipta?"

"Hu'um, until I can't stand being in that room. I've booked another room."

"Sorry to trouble you. Later I change the cost, now we go there first." Nisa walked twice as fast. Wonder why Axel behaved and said so.
