Nana and Reuben walked to the post. There Alfin was sitting on a bench.
Alfin immediately got up as soon as he saw Nana's silhouette from a distance but the look on his face was a little unusual when the stranger followed Nana from behind. Nana's bright expression seemed to answer a question that Alfin did not know what it was himself.
“Alfin.” call Nana once in front of Alfin.
“Oh, are you done? The jeep is ready. You should leave immediately before evening comes.” Alfin said in a casual tone.
“Alfin, i.”
“Na, someone has picked you up, and you should go home as soon as possible.” Cut Alfin.
“Alfin, you won't listen to my words?” nana was upset
Alfin sighed softly, “What?” ask in the end.
“There's something I should talk to Alfin about for a minute.” Pinta Nana turned to Ruben. Ruben nodded. He left them both. Reuben understood what he was inviting.
“What's up?” ask Alfin as soon as Ruben has left.
“About my circumstances.I'm really sorry.” Nana felt guilty. “I almost put you in a dangerous position.” Further.
Alfin fell silent, he had no idea what to react to. So he could just shut up, though,
“I know you're disappointed because I hid something this big. You can't forgive me.” Nana.
Alfin exhaled softly, “Honestly I don't know what to say or what to react to it. This is all so sudden and so confusing to me. I just feel.I feel like I've been lied to.” said Alfin feeling frustrated.
“I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to do it but I had to. It's also heavy for me.” Timpal Nana is sorry.
Alfin again exhaled softly, he then held both shoulders of Nana, “Na, say. What the hell is going on? Why are you like this and did that man do it? Who fought with you that day until you wanted to go abroad? Tell me, what did he do to you exactly?” ask Alfin in succession with great pressure in every word he said. Alfin stared straight at Nana's bead, preventing Nana from lying back.
“Alfin, it was both our fault. I started it.” Answer Nana slowly.
“Do not lie, Na. Obviously I saw you were so messed up at the airport first.” Alfin said a little emotionally.
“Alfin, I'm serious. I liked her for a long time but she liked Kansha. And I lost control, I wanted to do everything I could to get her to like me, to get my feelings back. But everything became out of bounds and I lost control.” Timpal Nana.
Alfin released his focus on Nana's shoulder, turning to Nana's back. Alfin exhaled a rough breath while calming his emotions. After he calmed down, he turned back to face Nana.
“What are you really doing, Na? Why are you doing that?”
One tear Nana shed, “When one's love claps one hand for a long time, you will feel what is called despair. You who originally stayed in the shell, now have to come out the shell so that the person you like sees you.”
“But do not do anything beyond such limits, Na!”
“I know. I'm really sorry.” Nana's law is down.
Alfin sighed softly, he then held onto Nana's right hand then pulled her gently and hugged her. Nana stiffened for a moment but regained her calm.
“For so long I have been indifferent to you, I don't even know what problems have befallen you. Forgive me for being this insensitive.” said Alfin. after saying that, he let go of his embrace.
“I'm the one who should apologize to you. I always cause trouble for you. Thank you for letting me sleep in your house at the time. Thank you also you have taken care of me during my time here and when I passed out too.” reply Nana full of thanks.
“Sama-sama. No need to be confused. Let's just say it's a good-looking guy like me.”
Nana was grieving with a small smile coming up. This guy's accent is still left behind apparently. But thanks to that joke, Nana became relaxed like never before.
“You've solved your problem with her, right?” alfin asked seriously. Nana nodded.
“Sgratitude.”
“You have truly forgiven me, right?” ask Nana again.
“Already, so don't ask again.” Reply Alfin indifferently. “And also, Na. Do not go abroad again wearing flip-flops and T-shirts. Because I don't know who will take you back when that happens.”.
“There you are. You will back me.” said Nana relaxed.
Alfin screeched, “Who are you until I have to do that? you have your own guard. Live well with him and don't make trouble back. If there is a problem, solve it well, do not run away again.”
“What do you mean?”
“Then you advised me like a righteous man. But I am relieved that at least you are still Alfin, your way of speaking is still as spicy as I used to know.” he said chuckling.
Alfin rolled his eyeballs, he lazily responded to Nana's joke.
“Come, I'll take you to the front. He must have waited a long time too.” Take Alfin.
Alfin and Nana then started walking. And when they saw Reuben's back from a distance, Alfin stopped his steps, which made Nana also stop.
“What's up?” nana asked confusedly while looking at Alfin.
“As soon as we get there later, you should immediately take him away.” Alfin said in a serious tone with his eyes looking straight ahead.
“Why?”
“You have to do that or else—“
“If not why?”
“Or else, I don't know which cheek this hand will land on.” Tukas Alfin looked at his perfectly clenched right hand.
Nana chuckles at hearing it, “Alright, alright. I understand.” Nana nodded her head.
“But, Fin, come to think of it, I'm three years above you. But why do you keep calling my name impolitely?” chirps Nana.
“You are not my brother, so I don't need to speak formally to you.” Reply Alfin indifferently.
“I stay three years older ya!” nana punched Alfin's arm.
“But you are childish.” Typhoon Alfin.
“What?” Nana glares.
“Sia is not everything. It can't be the determinant of you being an adult or not. And you are also not too mature so just accept.”
Nana thaws, she then kicks Alfin's shins. Alfin complained of pain.
“Hey, this hurts tau!” her ringis while holding onto her throbbing shins painfully.
“Feel, wlee. Good one!” tease Nana.
“This is what makes me not need to call you big brother. Your attitude is childish.” Grouse Alfin. Nana chuckles and doesn't care. He walked ahead of Alfin.
***
Alfin and Nana arrived at the entrance gate of the village. There was Ruben waiting beside the jeep. Reuben stood up as soon as Nana came to him.
“Come go.” Take Nana. Ruben nodded. But before that, Ruben looked towards Alfin first.
“Thank you for keeping Nana so far.” Ruben told Alfin.
“Sama-sama. He was my responsibility all the time here. And it will be your responsibility from now on. I've heard everything and please take good care of Nana. He was like family to me. And if there is a problem, do not open the door of the house, or otherwise Nana will run away to the airport just by using flip-flops only.” Alfin's message whose last sentence was returned a slow kick from Nana.
“Aw! Pain.” Say Alfin in a flat tone(?)
Ruben nodded surely, “I know, thank you.”
“Then, we go first.” said Nana immediately took over the conversation.
“Be careful on the road.” Reply Alfin.
“You too, spirit! Quickly go home to Jakarta ya!” reply Nana.
Alfin nodded. Nana smiles back and enters the car, followed by Ruben. Before long, the engine is turned on, and the car carrying Ruben and Nana starts to drive away from the village. And Alfin stared at them until they disappeared from his sight.
