Niki For Nata

Part 1. Camera Seized

Happy Reading's!

"Return, pa. Nata beg papa. Nata will recite all the words papa origin papa do not burn it. Please, pa."

The man was crying. He couldn't bear it if his papa burned his camera. His favorite item, the relics of his beloved mother a few years ago.

"It's not you who set papa up. But papa set you up" said the man called papa firmly. No matter what the tears in the race fell on the cheeks of the 16-year-old man.

"Pa, that's just a memory of my mom. Please don't destroy it, pa. Nata please."

"Papa can't haggle over songs. You don't obey what papa said. He just asks you to learn, learn and learn. Not busy with the camera. What would your future be if you were just busy with that camera? Huh uh?"

"That's..."

"It has. Papa doesn't want to know. Anyway papa said no yes no. Papa give you a week. If in a week you do not pass the test then this camera will disappear from the face of the earth. Catch that!"

Papa Tirta gave the threat and order that could not be avoided by Nata, the only son of the man named Tirta Kusnadi. His marriage to Salma Kenya.

But unfortunately, the pain suffered by Salma Kenya, made him die a few years ago. Right then, Nata was still sitting on the bench of Junior High. Since then, Papa Tirta has been overprotective of Nata.

Even Papa Tirta forced Nata to choose a physics major, as he wanted. According to him, physics majors are very promising. Therefore, he asked Nata to always learn and learn.

The sound of the door shaking broke the silence of the room. It left Nata still in tears. The man, curled up in his bed, lamented his father's behavior towards him.

Forcing him to obey all his will without asking what he wants. Ask him to study hard without asking if he is tired or bored. Whether he is still strong or not. Like a robot he was treated by his own father.

Elsewhere, Niki is engrossed in her cell phone. He even smiled at himself with his phone.

"Niki, how do you smile yourself? Did you finish your job?" asked her best friend Sandra, curious about the behavior of her best friend.

"Niki ih," his nagging because it was hurt by Niki.

"Where's your share? Here I check," said Sandra again. But still did not get an answer from Niki.

Feeling neglected, Sandra walked slowly towards Niki. Even the sound of his feet was inaudible as he began to step. Curious he would seriousness Niki with the flat object.

"Ih, basic Niki. Ganjen is a girl. We're working together again, uh he's busy looking at the guy's picture. Basic Niki," said Sandra in the heart.

"Eh uh, San you know what?"

"No" Sandra replied quickly.

Surprised Niki hears Sandra's answer already nearby. Because what he knew, Sandra was sitting in front of him. They were working on a group assignment that a physics teacher had given them.

It is no coincidence that the two friends are one group. But Niki was so that they were both in a group. The other one has four people, one group. And no one is a legal or close friend like them.

Niki is the laziest if you have to know someone from the beginning to make friends. Enough of Sandra. Not necessarily there are others like Sandra who accept him as he is or vice versa.

Besides being intelligent in physics subjects, Niki also has a talent in singing, dancing and painting. Niki and Sandra's extracurricular activities are musical arts. The art of painting is Niki. Because Sandra's talent isn't as great as Niki's.

At Thomas Alva Edison's school in Medan, Niki is the target of many men. From grade ten to grade twelve. But none of Niki made a girlfriend or a bully. There was already a person occupying his heart.

Niki, Sandra and Nata attended the same school. And sit in the XI class, the same department. Since then, Niki has been putting her heart to a cold guy exactly an eight-door refrigerator as Sandra said.

"Ihh, Sandra, that's it. Don't answer dong. What are you doing near me? It's a shock to know."

"I'm calling you from earlier not nyahut. Uh, no idea anymore busy looking at the picture of the eight-door refrigerator guy. Yes, not really. I don't think there's another guy" said Sandra.

"Sandra, you know what your best friend looks like. If it is the name of love with one man, it is enough he who fills this heart. No heart for another man. Because my heart is filled with her" Niki said with a smile, imagining how happy she was with Nata.

"Wake, Nik. He is not in love with you. He doesn't care about you. You're not ashamed of what as a woman, it's not considered to be her?"

"Sandra, there's no shame in love. So, you don't have to worry. I'll call Nata first. Yea...."

Niki throws her long hair away, leaving Sandra who is getting upset with her best friend's behavior.

"How are our group doing, Nik?" ask Sandra screech.

What he got was not an answer, instead Niki's back was increasingly leaving him in the living room of the house.

As he walked, he remembered the phone number Nata had given him. He pulled out a cell phone from his bag. Then start calling that number.

"Hallo, assalamualaikum."

"Wa'alaikum salam. What's the cure, mbak? Panu, scabies, water flea ringworm or?" voice on the phone. Logatnya very thick, typical of Java.

"Hello, bbak. Maud.. Ma'am..."

The call was cut off by Niki. He's pissed. He was very sure that he called Nata's number, but why even the seller of scabies cure ringworm who answered his phone?

He quickly blocks the number, and then removes it. Afraid the drug dealer would contact her and offer her medicine. A medicine that he does not need at this time.

With a lazy step, he walked back to the living room where Sandra had been.

"Why is that a face?" ask Sandra. Like a mock for Niki.

"It's okay" replied Niki.

"It's okay but, like a tangled shirt hasn't been ironed for five years. So tangled. I don't know how it looks."

That's right, Sandra is mocking him right now.

"Buskey. Five years long, not ironed. I guess what shape it is?" niki Sahut. He even replied to the friend's un-benefit seriously.
