To esokan day..
Vaye was at the mall, waiting for Nicholas at a restaurant to have lunch together. Today, Vaye and Nicholas will visit Nicholas' mother. Nicholas himself is currently seeing his doctor at the mall.
Suddenly a middle-aged man sat in front of Vaye's desk, Vaye who was cool with her cellphone also glanced at who the man sitting in front of her.
" Hello, Vaye." Said the man who was apparently Nicholas' father.
" O uncle, are you waiting for someone too?" Ask Vaye kindly.
" Oh, no. Uncle just finished meeting with a co-worker, then saw you sitting here alone so uncle came to you." Said Nicholas' father, and Vaye just nodded.
" By the way we haven't met well. Uncle's name is Prasetya you can call uncle, uncle Pras." Pras finally said.
" Yes, I'm Vaye. " Vaye.
" Uncle is curious about the relationship between you and Nicholas, are you guys dating?" Ask Pras.
" No uncle, we're just friends." Vaye.
" Oh.. But it looks like you guys are very close. You know that Nicholas is very rude, right? He has a bad temper, why do you want to be friends with him?" Ask Pras.
The look on Vaye's face changed. The friendly face he showed just now slowly disappeared into a flat. Vaye doesn't understand why any father would say that about his own son.
" I mean uncle talking like that, what??" Ask Vaye.
" Just asking, uncle doesn't understand why you want to be friends with Nicholas. Than Nicholas, why don't you just befriend Timothy?" Ask Pras.
" Timothy used to say that Nicholas was close to you, uncle just pity you.. If you are forced to befriend him, then uncle will help you to get away from him." Pras.
Vaye looked at Pras with a look of disbelief, even Vaye to the point of shaking her head at how Pras casually denigrated Nicholas.
" Uncle, let me tell uncle about Nicholas. It seems like the uncle does not know the uncle's son very well. Nicholas is actually a good boy, he's not evil. I admit the temperament is bad, he just needs the encouragement and support of the people closest to him." Vaye.
" As a father, not only do you not care about him, but you also vilify him in front of his friends. I don't understand why you say that." Vaye said again.
" Uncle, if you don't feel or at least know about what Nicholas feels and experiences, at least don't talk bad about him. Is not the word parent is a prayer for his child?? Excuse me uncle." Vaye said, and got up straight from her seat.
For some reason Vaye became emotional hearing Nicholas who was ugly by Nicholas' own biological father, even Vaye thought maybe Nicholas was not Pras' real son, because Pras firmly said so about Nicholas.
Finally Vaye walked to where Nicholas is currently undergoing his therapy. Now every week Nicholas comes to the doctor who handles his psychic. Before Vaye, Nicholas came to his doctor almost every day.
" Vaye, why are you here?" Nicholas asked when he saw Vaye walking toward where Nicholas was therapy.
" I don't have a sitting position, how?? Is there progress now?" Ask Vaye.
" hm.. Thanks to you always giving me positive things, I'm getting better." Nicholas.
" Where there is so, it is your own choice. But if you say that I brought something positive, then thank you." Said Vaye while grinning.
" Don't fly, it'll fall." Nicholas.
" Is! Never like to see people happy a little." Said Vaye, and Nicholas chuckled.
" We eat while on the road, how?" Ask Vaye.
Vaye is worried that Pras is still in the mall and will join them later. Nicholas had always been unable to control himself in the presence of Pras.
" all right.. Come on." Nicholas said, then grabbed Vaye's shoulder.
It is true, anyone who sees their closeness will not believe that they are just friends. They both look very close like two lovebirds dating.
Until finally they reached the basment, this time Nicholas took out his sports car. The car is very rarely used actually, because Nicholas prefers to use a motorbike.
" Woahs.. You're collecting?" Ask Vaye.
" No, I only have this one. I don't have that much money to collect cars." Nicholas.
" hm.. Just this time I found out rich kids don't collect cars." Vaye.
" The thing is I don't live on parents' money, so I can't possibly waste money." Nicholas.
" ha! Did your father not take your life??" Vaye asked, and Nicholas shook his head.
" I work of course.." Nicholas said, while opening the car door for Vaye.
" Work?? Work what??" Ask Vaye.
Nicholas looked at Vaye, hesitating whether or not to tell Vaye. Because his work is different from others. Nicholas was afraid that Vaye would stay away from him later.
" Poo." Nicholas said, while starting the car engine.
BBRUM!!
The sound of the car was blaring.
" If you don't want to be surprised to faint it's better not to know my job." Nicholas.
" alright.well.. Mysterious as hell." Said Vaye, and Nicholas chuckled.
Eventually they left the apartment and headed to a mental hospital, where Nicholas' mother was treated. Before arriving, they order food by way of a fast food restaurant thru ri, then continue their journey.
" Let me take a bribe, the danger of driving while eating." Vaye.
" Are you serious??" Nicholas was surprised.
" Yes.. A." Said Vaye giving fries in Nicholas' mouth.
" Come on, don't tell me you've never been bribed by someone? " Vaye said because Nicholas was so stiff and ashamed.
" You're the first, after my mom. You know, we're like dating people" Nicholas said, chuckling. And Instantly Vaye became silent.
' Oh, my God, am I overdoing it? I treat her like I treat my sister.' Inner Vaye.
" Why be quiet?? Come feed me.. A.." A.." Nicholas.
Finally Vaye stuffed Nicholas' mouth with chicken thighs.
" Ahaga's.. Haye, ahu hegang chirped (Good God.. Vaye, I'm driving. )" Nicholas said indistinctly.
Vaye woke up to hear Nicholas speaking indistinctly, until he finally pulled the chicken thigh from Nicholas' mouth.
" That's why don't you like to talk so much." Said Vaye while chuckling.
" Ish, the bad guy.." Nicholas.
Until finally they continue the journey with Vaye who feeds Nicholas, until finally they arrive at the mental hospital where Nicholas' mother is treated.
" Is your mother being treated here?" Ask Vaye.
" hm.. Come on." Nicholas.
The two of them reached the park, seen a middle-aged, long-haired woman sitting on a park bench holding a doll and talking to the doll.
" gamma.. Mama misses Gama." Tell that woman.
" Gama??" Vaye.
" gamma.. Gamalael, my late brother named Gamalael. " Nicholas said.
Nicholas' mother turned her head when she heard someone else was behind her. And the woman was surprised to see someone she knew.
" Killer.." Her speech.
Vaye is shocked, as Nicholas' mother calls her own son a murderer.
" Killer!! Get out of here, you murderer! You're the killer of my son Gama! " Mother Nicholas said again, and suddenly he went crazy.
Nicholas' mother also wants to attack Vaye, but Nicholas protects her. Until finally the mental hospital attendant intervened to arrest Nicholas' mother.
' Nicholas.'s..' Inner Vaye
