Love, Let it Get Lost

Not a good liar

The next day I spent my days as usual at work without any obstacles or problems. My work also felt so light, because maybe today there is no job that is so difficult for me, and makes me finally able to go home early.

I tidy up my things on the table, turned off the computer and made sure no one was left behind. Nicko suddenly came out of the room.

“You go straight home right?” Ask her.

Then I nodded my head confusedly at her question.

“I'm going to your apartment now, I want to meet with Kara”

“Oke” answer me.

“You went alone ?” Ask me because she might want to go with me.

“Why?” Ask a little bit.

“You hope I go with Bima?”

I just opened my eyes because again Nicko behaved like that.

“His work is done, I already asked him to go home”, Nicko continued, sounding so unhappy.

I returned to my desk.

“I just asked Nicko” I said lazily then left by myself and walked quickly to get out of this office.

Moments later I arrived at the apartment parking lot, I waited for Nicko's car to come after but it was not there. On the road, I still saw Nicko's car following me in the back, but when the road was jammed, the car disappeared. For a few minutes I waited in Nicko's car park unseen. With a peck of annoyance I climbed into the apartment and entered into her. Kara was happy when she saw me coming.

“Mama”

“Hay darling”

“Good afternoon Bu” greet Mbak susi.

“Sore Mba”

“Bu for De Kara's goods and toys I have sorted out, PR from school I have helped to finish”

“Oh yes thanks a lot Mbak”

“Iya Bu, so now I bole home?”

“Oh can Mbak please. Thanks ya”

“Sama-sama Bu” and then Sister Susi brought her bag and jacket that she had prepared in the chair and said goodbye to me and Kara.

I sat on the sofa and carried Kara into my lap.

“How come you're home?” Ask Kara.

“Iya. Mama's job is done, so Mama can sneak home to play with Kara”

Then Kara smiled happily hugging me.

“Ma. Kara misses Om Nicko” Kara said in a very sad tone.

I smiled so happily looking at Kara.

“Call guess,Om Nicko when is here?” Ask Kara.

“When?” He asked with a sad face.

“Om Nicko is here now to see Kara, because she is also kangeeenn same Kara” said I make her happy.

“O yes?” Her exclaim with a face that began to beaming series.

“Iya”

“Yee Om Nicko here!”

I glanced at the door hoping Nicko would come soon, but the door was still tightly shut.

I reached into the phone in my bag, and called Nicko immediately. The phone's connected, but he didn't pick up my phone. I started to worry, so I thought strangely about Nicko. What if he's in an accident ? What if he hits someone else on the street and gets hit by time? What if he gets robbed?

Unreasonable things began to strike my mind, and it even more alarmed me. After several times I tried to call her, her phone finally answered.

“Where are you anyway? Why is my phone just picked up?!” I asked her with emotion.

“Sorry, I forgot to activate the ring on my mobile phone”

“Where to now? Kara already nanyain kau” said I still with an annoyed tone.

“I in front of” replied along with my apartment door open.

Nicko came straight to open the door because he already knew the security code of my apartment door. Even his cellphone is still stuck in his ear while carrying a brown bag in his hand.

“Om Nicko!” Kara screamed straight down from my lap and ran up to Nicko.

Nicko immediately carried Kara with his happy smile.

“Hay Babe”

“Hai Om Nicko”

“How else is it?”

“How is the school?”

“The school is also Kara Pinter kok, Kara is also good with Kara”

“O yes?”

“Iya. Kara pinjemin temen Kara crayon for image”

“Pinter”

After the conversation between Father and Son was over at the door, Nicko brought Kara to me and sat down beside me. I still looked at Nicko with annoyance.

“Why?” He asked coldly to me.

“No” answer me.

Actually I really want to scold her for making me worry, but I'm too gensi admit it.

“I bought food for Kara earlier” said Nicko as if I wanted to ask why he suddenly disappeared in the street.

He took out the food from the brown bag he was carrying. She brought spaghetti to Kara and also my favorite mini strawberry cheesecake.

“This is for you” Nicko said thrusting the little cheesecake.

He remembers my favorite food.

“Thank you” said me while taking over the cheescake in his hands.

“How to say what is the same Om Nicko?” I asked Kara who was busy opening her food at the table.

“Thanks Om Nicko”

“Sama-sama”

“Yesterday also Kara dapet Spaghetti from Om Bima” said Kara plainly and lightly, she completely forgot her promise yesterday.

Nicko suddenly fell silent and his face turned cold listening to what Kara said. This boy did not know that his speech had brought the war of his father and mother. I swallowed my saliva in panic.

“From Om Bima?” Nicko asks him to find out more about Kara.

Yeah I know that Kara can't lie, but I'm really not ready to get Nicko's ire on this.

“Iya Om. Last night Om Bima came here and continued to love Kara spaghetti as well” Kara replied without taking her eyes off her food.

Nicko begins to justify his sitting position to approach Kara who is eating and continues to try to invite Kara to speak. I'm freaking out because I can't shut Kara's mouth.

“Tadi night Om Bima here? Want what?” Nicko asked Kara gently.

“You meet Mama and Kara, keep chatting until the mallem. Mama said do not say Om Nicko, because later Om Nicko angry to Om Bima”

I closed my eyes hearing Kara easily tell Nicko the truth.

With sharp eyes Nicko glanced at me. I was so scared and nervous in her face like that.

“You what Bima came here for?” Her question is cynical.

I'm still thinking of the right reasons to give Nicko.

Just now I was about to open my mouth to answer, suddenly Nicko stood up.

“Ikut I” pinta Nicko while holding my hand.

“Kara wait here for a moment, Mama and Om want to talk” said Nicko then he pulled my hand into the room and he closed it.

I was pulled by the window, and Nicko let go of his hand. She looked at me so sharply and creepily, while I could only show her my guilty face.

“Why can there be Bima? Why are you accepting other men in your apartment? What do you guys do until night?” Nicko's question made me drop my hunch on his illogical questions as if accusing me of doing nothing.

“What do you mean?” Ask me trying to calm down.

“Yes instead I asked, because I don't know”

“Bima here just to give Kara food just ga more”

“What order?”

“Yes where do I know”

“Terus why you can invite here if only to feed Kara”

“Yes I was just being nice, I couldn't possibly let her feel like a food courier who just lined up food and went home, I also knew Nicko's ethics. Then there was Keysa yesterday, Keysa stayed here when Bima came, I was not only two here, there Kara also” replied I was upset.

Nicko folded his arms around his chest and still looked at me suspiciously.

“Why ? still not believing? Want to ask Keysa directly? Or want to check my apartment building cctv let you see who has entered my apartment?”

Nicko turned his face away. He tried to accept my answer, but his facial features could not lie if he still looks unhappy with Bima's presence here.

“I just don't want to, Kara started getting close to other men including Bima. I was just scared, he got away with me” Nicko said making me feel full.

Now it is my turn to be silent, and to contemplate his words. Nicko came straight out of the room leaving me who was still thinking with his words that pierced my heart.

Nicko was just afraid of losing Kara, just like Kara was afraid of losing Nicko, but I let other people into my life without thinking. I let out a long sigh and came out following Nicko who was already with Kara in the living room. I feel guilty for him, but I can't apologize right now, I'm still embarrassed.
