47. Nicko Hand Scrap
A few days later, Bayan kept his promise. He enrolled Nicko to take a painting class. Although Bayan was able to call a painting teacher home, Bayan preferred his son who came out to study than the teacher who came home.
When he heard that his father had enrolled him in a painting class, Nicko cheered with joy. He was happy because his interest was supported by both his parents. Even after that his father also invited him to buy painting equipment. And this afternoon Bayan took his family for a walk after buying painting supplies for Nicko.
"Nicko's been in painting class, if you want to go with Bang ?" anna asked, looking at Nathan.
"Mmc ... I'm confused Bund. I don't want to go with anything" Nathan said, scratching his head.
"Gapapa, later in SMP will also be many extra-curricular options. Brother can choose one or two important schools Brother ga nagging," between Bayan while continuing to drive.
"What are your choices, Dad ?" ask Nathan.
"What I know in Junior High you will have extra curricular taekwondo, Paskibra, silat, basketball, football, PMR. You choose one first let it not be soybean. Later if you can make time, you can participate in other activities," said Bayan while looking at Nathan.
"I want to follow Paskibra Aja Yah, I like the line," Nathan said enthusiastically.
"That's good too. The important thing is not to miss the lesson, son. These extra curricular and painting classes are just a sideline. Your main task is to learn. Remember that !" bayan said firmly.
"Ready Well !" sahut Nathan and Nicko together to make both parents smile.

During the school holidays Nicko began to take painting lessons. Nicko is happy to make new friends and new experiences.
Because he did not have a busy life, Nathan also often accompanied and waited for Nicko to learn to paint. Usually Nathan would wait in the cafeteria with his mother.
"Would Mommy do Nicko every time you learn to paint Bund ?" ask Nathan.
"Ga too. If Nicko is already a little bigger, maybe Nicko will go alone on a bicycle. Why Bang, are you envious ?. I'm still pretty good at it anyway," Anna said while ruining Nathan's hair with anxiety.
"Ga the Bund. I'm just the same Mother. Must be tired if you have to pick up Nicko every day," said Nathan gave an excuse.
"Mother is tired but she's really smart. Kan nganterin children learn to let pinter is a pride. You used to be your Anterin Mother every day. After you were in fourth grade, Mommy just believed in letting you go to school on a bike. Nicko is too. When she was in fourth grade, Mommy was no longer nganterin. So you don't have to worry about it" Anna said with a smile.
Nathan agreed. He did not want the mother exhausted from taking care of him and his sister. Nathan recalls his friend's mother, who was sick from exhaustion and died late for help.
Nathan had told his friend Galih about his mother's unwell condition.
"Ah who said. My mom is healthy. The evidence can still get me to school," said Galih at the time.
"Why should I be picked up anyway. You can ride a bike" Nathan said.
"Yes than Mama bengong at home, better Mama anter pick me up right," said Galih.
"Mama You can't be bengong dong, right you have a baby sister as well as two other Sisters that must be taken care of. If you don't pick up anther, your Mama can rest at home. Are you not the same as your Mama. Look at it, the face is already high" Nathan said.
Nathan could only shake his head at Galih's reply. And two days after their conversation, Nathan's worries were evident. Ms. Galih was admitted to the hospital after falling in the bathroom. After two days and two nights in hospital, Galih's mother was pronounced dead.
When Nathan and his friends and teachers at his school came to Galih's house, it was seen that Galih was crying in front of his mother's body. Nathan also heard that Galih promised not to trouble the mother again if the mother would open her eyes.
"I promise I won't force Mama to pick me up at school so Mama doesn't get sapped. Mama can really nemenin Adik-sisters at home," whine Galih while tearful.
"Slowly," Nathan murmured annoyed.
After saying that Nathan came out of the funeral home and sat waiting outside with the other mourners.
While sitting waiting for the teachers to finish praying, Nathan also spread his gaze to all directions. At that moment Nathan accidentally saw a strange figure floating on the roof of Galih's house. When Nathan tried to sharpen his vision, he was shocked. He saw a long haired, disembodied figure floating in the air. Although without a body but all his internal organs appear to hang under his head as if following wherever the figure moves. Nathan knew it was an organ in the human body because there were subjects that learned about human organs in school.
As if aware of himself being observed, the disembodied head turned towards Nathan and grinned. Nathan was surprised and turned his face the other way with a fast beating heart. Then Nathan tried to recite as taught by his teacher at TPQ. And a few moments later Nathan ventured to the roof of Galih's house again. He also sighed in relief because he did not see the figure of the disembodied head there anymore.
After seeing the appearance of the creepy figure, Nathan believes that Galih's mother died from being preyed upon by the figure. Therefore Nathan does not want the mother killed by the creepy creature because of fatigue.
Nathan's daydream breaks when he hears Nicko's footsteps running towards him. He turned his head and smiled widely when he saw Nicko's disappointed face. Apparently the sister intended to surprise him earlier but failed because Nathan had already turned his head towards him.
"Reporting from iihhh ...!" nicko said while pouting.
"Eatya if you want to ngagetin do not make a sound. The sound is !" nathan said with a laugh.
Anna who saw the behavior of her two children also laughed. But Anna's laughter came to a halt when she saw a sheet of paper fall out of Nicko's bag. What was surprising because the picture on the paper was a creepy cartoon image according to Anna.
"This is yours, son ?" anna asked as she grabbed the paper that had fallen near Nicko's feet.
"Oh Yes Bund. It's mine !" suhut Nicko fast.
"This ... What the hell are you drawing, son ?" asked Anna while frowning.
Anna's question made Nathan curious. He also observed the work of his sister and was surprised. How not, the cartoon image drawn by Nicko resembles the appearance of a figure that Nathan believed to be a predator of Galih's mother.
"This is what Nick, you can picture this anyway ?!" ask Nathan.
"Ga tau Bang's. I was just doodling earlier. When it's finished, uh know it's the picture," said Nicko casually.
"Teacher you know you're not drawing ginian ?" ask Anna.
"Ga tau Bund's. The teacher said, the doodles were scrawled at home because the learning hours were finished. At the next meeting must be brought again and collected," said Nicko.
Nicko's answer made Anna forced to swallow her saliva with difficulty. He had never seen my figure other than the story of Bayan and his friends. But seeing Nicko's handcrawl scared Anna. It turns out that the figure drawn by Nicko is similar to what Rama and Riko used to say.
