“I also love you .. I also miss you a lot, mr. om..” he said who then sobbed with their smiling lips. Her taste and disbelief made her unable to hold back her tears. Now he knows, if all this time it turns out his love does not clap one hand.
“Hehehe...hehehe Athar smiled, which then turned into a snoring voice. "Madzky…"
Seeing that, Ning realized that Athar was just being delirious. The same thing as he had said since on the road earlier, was only a mere drunken concoction.
“Gak ... This is not real.. He said it just because he was drunk...” Mumbled Ning inwardly. He wiped away his tears and stood up. But unexpectedly his hand was suddenly grasped by Athar.
“Do not go... do not leave me...” he said still in a state of closed eyes. Ning looked back at Athar's face.
“You who left me... Not me...” he said softly, as if the sentence cut his heart.
He removed his hand from Athar's. His fingers wiped the tears that were about to come out, then he got up and went out of the room, leaving Athar who again snored and was no longer chirping.
Ning heard a voice from the kitchen, he went there and found Ocha opening the fridge.
“Ngapain lo here, Cha?” tanya Ning approached.
“Gue thirsty, Ning.. Eh turns out a lot of food is also fruits in the refrigerator.. Nih I take the same canned drink wine, nyammm.. segerr...” he said eat the grapes, the, then sit on the dining table chair with a few stalks of grapes and canned drinks in his hands. “Udah satisfied his kangen-kangen?” he said again then sipped the canned drink.
“Lo talking what the hell, Cha...”.
“Ayok we go home.. It's almost one hour in the morning.. hoaaammm...” he said which then evaporated.
“Sorry, yes Cha... I became ngerepotin lo...” he said felt bad.
“Yes yes, it is good if you realize.. So, let's go home, hoaaammm...”.
“But... Mr Riko has not come yet.. Eng, how about if we neginep here aja?” proposal Ning.
“What? Don't be crazy lo,Ning.. inget yes, Lo it's his future wife Doctor Singgih .. Gak pantes if you nginep here, in the house of another guy... Let's go home!!” ocha cerca.
Ning was stunned to hear Ocha's remark. He just realized that too.
“Iy yes, Cha...” he said lowered his head. The two left the kitchen and walked to the main room.
Czech …
Ning and Ocha set their eyes on the person who had appeared from behind that open door.
“Pak, Rico...” Say Ning and Ocha together.
“Sorry, Miss... Just now on the road jammed, so I just arrived...” Said the one who just came in.
“Good.. Finally Mr. Riko came. tuh Mr. Daniel was already bobo handsome in his room.. So we both want to go home.. Ayok Ning...“ said Ocha who then walked past Riko and out of the Athar apartment unit.
“Thank you so much for bringing Mr. Daniel here. Once again I'm really sorry, Miss..”.
“What's okay, Mr. Riko..
“Nona want to go home now? Let me drop off...”.
“No need, thank you.. Let us take a taxi only.. Mr. Riko will just arrive, definitely tired.. Please rest....”.
“This is almost morning.. It is not good if you go alone.. Then the driver will deliver you...” He pulled out his phone and typed in a message.
“But Mr Ri____”
“Pak Daniel will be very angry, if you know I let you who have helped him get home by taxi...” Riko gave an excuse.
“Good...” Ning could only resign, because he once knew how angry Athar was.
“Sopir will soon be to the front door of the lobby.. Let me drop by...” After receiving a reply message from the driver.
“Pak Riko's..”
“Iya...”.
“Why did Daniel get drunk like that?” asked Ning who looked still curious.
“Eng.. Perhaps Mr. Daniel's mood is in turmoil, Miss.”.
“Meanway? Does he get drunk like that?”
“Eng.. Formerly after Miss Alexa died, Mr. Daniel often drank. Maybe this time he has lost his loved ones again..” Riko looked at Ning, as if to see her response.
“Oh, that's it.. Please take care of him yes, do not get like that.. Drunk on the side of the road like crazy..” he said with a forced smile. “Again drinking too often is not good for his health.”
“Iya Miss... once again thank you.. Fortunately Mr. Daniel met with Miss, if not... I do not know what will happen to him...”.
“Then I excuse you...” He said goodbye, then went out to Ocha.
“Udah?” ask Ocha who's waiting outside the door.
“Iya.. ayok we go home.. Pa Riko said the driver was waiting outside to drive us home...” said Ning then stepped with his head down. It seemed that he wanted to hide the look of the sad and disappointed face he felt. Riko escorted them both.
“It turns out what he said just now was just delirious, not really a phrase from his heart. Maybe he was drunk because he had lost his lover in London there.” Inner Ning sad, sad, when they were in the elevator.
*
Along the way, Ning did not say a word. There was silence in the vehicle. Occasionally the sound of snoring Ocha who sleeps, it seems that his best friend was not able to fight his drowsiness.
Ning drowned and dissolved in his daydream. It seemed that he could not stop thinking about Athar. His loss made Ning depressed, because such a deep longing was full of question marks for the reason to leave and disappear. And now his sudden presence was able to make Ning restless. Happy, sad, disappointed, mixed into one.
“Why did you come when I received Mas Igih's proposal, Mr Om?” sad inner. It seems that he is still thinking about Athar's words about his love earlier.
“No... no.. I can't think of him anymore..” Ning resuscitated himself.
“So it was just a drunken chirp... He must not be aware. Anyway he did not mention the name of the person he loves Inner Ning.
*
Ning's last night unceasingly thought of Athar, his first meeting that made him restless and unable to sleep. While his best friend had snored a deep sleep next to him. Until dawn, Ning was still awake. He woke Ocha, he went to the bathroom for ablution and then performed his dawn ritual.
”Tumben Miss dawn-dawn gini already breakfast?” said Siti approached Ning who had just finished eating bread and drinking milk at the dinner table.
“Evenings have gone to sleep, maybe if his stomach has been filled can sleep..”.
“Unfortunately Miss Ocha last night coming home what time?” ask Siti.
“Jam duaan if not wrong.. Last night the motorcycle tire leaked and our hape died, so the road used to be far enough to intercept the taxi..”.
“It's a good thing last night I didn't follow, hehehe... Excited not karaoke?”
“Yes that is.. Oh yes, today there will be many things coming, please you same Ocha handle first yes.. Ocha just went home first he said.. And now I want to rest...”.
“Siap, Non..”.
“Sorry yes, today of the week you guys are overtime..
“What's okay, Non. Kan pretty can get extra income…. Hehehe...”.
“Already, I'm going to the room first..” Ning went to his room. He laid his body on the bed and closed his eyes. Slowly he fell asleep too.
*
“Emh Ning, who was sleeping soundly, felt disturbed when she heard classical music so close to her ears.
“Inces her hair combed first yes, let it be beautiful like Nana...” There was also the voice of a little boy who did not sing to him. Ning opened her eyes slowly, and it turned out that there was Nana sitting next to Ning sleeping, was playing a doll by playing the music box.
“Loh, how come there's a little fairy...” Speak with a distinctive hoarse voice wake up.
“Momy is awake?” nana Sapa.
“Hehehe... yes..” Ning got up, then sat down next to Nana. “Little girl since when is here? who's here?” ask Ning.
“Em, since a long time ago.. Nana came here with Papa, but papa again go first for a while..”.
“Kok momy not built?”
“Udah kok.. But momy did not wake up, bobo her kayak kebo... Mbak Siti said Momy tired, so Nana same doll access accompany momy ...”
“Unchhhh... Good boy ...” said Ning rubbed Nana's head. “It looks like a little fairy has a new toy huh? this what?” tanya Ning pointed at the still-lit music box.
“This music box has its balenana..”.
“Ballerina, not balenana..” Ning correcting.
“Iya it... Nana told papa if Nana wants ballet...”.
“Oh yes... want to dance like this ballerina huh? Must be the music box given by Om Dandy from Australia?” guess Ning.
“Not, this is from Dady.. Opssss.” Nana immediately smothered her own mouth, it seemed like she had spoken senselessly.
“What? From Dady?” tanya Ning was surprised.
“Eng.. Eng Nana looked confused, she did not dare to look into Ning's eyes waiting for a response from her.
“Little princess... said who is this toy from?” Ning asked back.
“Eng.. eng...” Nana lowered her head instead, she did not dare to answer Ning's question.
“Sayang... he said among us there is no secret. Kok little fairy like hiding something from momy...” urged Ning.
“Eng... not...”.Nana shook her head.
“So this music box from Dady?” tanya Ning made sure.
“It.... it...” Nana still didn't dare to admit it.
“Gak what, dear ... Just say it.. Momy will not be angry really...” said Ning rubbed Nana's shoulder.
“So right this toy from Dady? When did Nana meet Dady?” tanya Ning was curious.
“Tast night...” said Nana.
“What? Last night? Means at the birthday party oma?” Ning was surprised.
“Iya...” Nana nodded her head.
Flashbacks…
“Ayok Nana we go there..” take Sheryl who pulled Nana's hand. The two run to the place Sheryl showed.
Thud…
“Aww...” Nana suddenly fell. He rubbed his knee which seemed to hurt.
“Nana is okay?” asked Sheryl crouching.
“Neg.. Nana was strong..” he said then stood up, then he and Sheryl continued the journey again, until the two reached the front of a door.
Chequelek
Sheryl opened the door. “Byok we are in..” Get him in first. He ran into the room and approached someone sitting on a sofa, while Nana was still standing at the door. He could not see the man, because only his back was visible.
“I have done the job, Om.. Where is my gift...” Sheyl said.
“It...” He said giving three boxes of chocolate with a famous brand.
“Hore... thanks, Dear Om... muahhh...” Sheryl kissed the man and cheered happily.
“Alright... You wait outside for a while yes...”.
“Good, Om...” Sheryl who was about to come out, approached Nana who was still standing in the same place. “You are called the same om tuh.. I came out first for a while huh... drug Nana...” His words just passed.
Nana who was confused, stepped slowly with hesitation, while watching the back of the person sitting on the sofa behind her.
As the man stood up, Nana stopped her steps. He was afraid to see that man step. But when the man turned around and looked at Nana, he looked at the man with a surprised look.
“Dady...” he said softly.
“My little girl....” said the guy smiled broadly.
Nana immediately ran to approach the man she called Dady. The Dady knelt down and stretched out his arms to welcome the niece he had considered to be his own daughter, because he had been taking care of her since her little elf was a baby.
The two hugged each other accompanied by a blue cry. They miss each other after a year without each other.
“Dady... huhuhuhuhu...” Nana's cry spilled right then and there. How not, since birth Athar was a father figure for him, when Singgih has not been able to accept his presence. And now, the long wait is over, until he can meet again with Dady who is very dear to him.
Even so, Athar, he could not resist the cries of haru, because finally he could hug back his little fairy. Slowly Athar let go of his embrace. Athar kissed the head until the face of the little elf who missed him so much.
“Dady where to? hik hicks...”.
“This Dady is here... hehehe,” he said smilingly as he continued to stare at Nana's face. He tidied up Nana's phony hair that looked messy. He wiped away the traces of Nana's tears.
“Do not cry my dear little fairy.. Dady misses you so much.. Now you have grown tall and very beautiful...” He said and held Nana. He then sat on the sofa with Nana sitting on his lap.
Athar never stopped looking at the face of the little girl he missed so much, after a year never met face to face, or even through video calls. During this time he could only see the photos of his little fairy that were often sent by Rosmala, the brother-in-law.
“Did Nana already run the task that Dady gave?” tanyakanya.
“Iy yes... Nana is diligent in school, likes to learn and play also the fairy sister, so that she can take care of the fairy sister and she is not sad and crying anymore..” said Nana as she pleased.
“Wahh... great yes, her little elf Dady... muahhh...” Her speech praised, then kissed Nana's forehead. “Means the little fairy has already successfully carried out her duties...”.
“Iya.. Papa said, sister fairy later so her mama Nana...”.
“Oh yes...” Athar forced himself to smile.” Is the little elf happy, Brother Ning so her mama Nana?” ask Athar.
“Iya... Nana is happy.. So Nana is not mocked by her school friends anymore, because Nana already has a mama..
“But what?” ask Athar.
“Papa said, Nana can't call the fairy sister as mama…."
“Why?” ask Athar in wonder.
“Papa says Nana already has a fairy mama, so can't call mama to sister fairy...”.
“Call what dong?”
Nana shook her head. “Eng... Dady Nana calls Athar while rubbing Dady's chest.
“Iya..” Athar.
“If Dady is the same?”
“Means?” Athar doesn't seem to understand.
“Kan Papa sama mama, mother same father, father same mother... If Dady same what?”.
“Dady equals Momy...” says Athar.
“Then Nana wants to call sister fairy, momy.
“Why momy?” ask Athar in wonder.
“Kan Nana already has papa, same fairy mom Dady.. But Nana does not have momy..”.
“Hehehehe...” Athar gently rubbed Nana's coconut, while throwing a smile.
“Sorry, Mr. Daniel.. His car is already in front of the lobby..” said Riko who suddenly approached.
“OK...” Sahut Athar's. I a switch on Nana. “Small berries, dear..Sorry yes, Dady should go first...”.
“Dady where are you going? Kan just a moment...” whine Nana.
“Sorry my dear... Dady there is an important business first...” he said then took a godie bag on the edge of the sofa. “It's a gift for a little fairy...” Athar gave it to Nana.
“This what?”
“In it there is a princess doll and a music box that if opened later there is a small ballerina dancing around..”.
“Belerina? Ballet?” ask Nana.
“Iya... ballet dancer.. Little fairy said she wants to be a ballet dancer huh?” athar.
“Iya...” Nana nodded.
“In that case, now the little elf is back again to Papa.. But, the little elf must promise, do not tell anyone if the little elf has met Dady..”.
“Why?”
“Because only a little fairy can meet Dady..The others should not, and this will be our secret, later Dady promises to meet again with the little fairy. Promise...” His voice raised his little finger.
“Appointment...” Nana also hooked her little finger on Athar's little finger as a promise-binding.
Athar hugged and kissed Nana. He who was still carrying Nana, got up and drove Nana to the front door.
With a heavy heart he took down his little fairy and let her go with Sheryl and her nanny, Susi.
Flasbak…
Nana told me everything about her meeting with Athar. Ning who was listening to it, made her stunned. He did not expect Athar was at the Andini birthday event. Although he actually felt the presence of Athar there, but did not have time to meet him.
“So, last night he was really there... And he already knew that I would marry Mas Igih Mumbled Ning inwardly. “What was it because he was drunk last night?” inner Ning asked.
Tok tok…
The sound of knocking on the door was able to disperse Ning's daydream.
“Ck, jeez.. Siti habit deh, like to forget to bring home keys...” He said, then got out of bed. “Momy open the door first, yes.. Little fairy wait a moment here...”.
“Iya...” nod Nana.
Ning went out of the room. He walked towards the front door which was still heard knocking. On arrival at the door, he turned the key.
“Loh, the door is not locked. Ngapain Siti must be all....” He then turned the door knob to open it.
Czech …
“Ngapain ngetuk everything, the door person is not in______” Ning who opened the door, did not continue his speech when he saw someone standing right in front of him.
“Yeah... I think Siti.... Why even him? Where my appearance is messy gini, celudih, have not washed your face anyway. Hopefully on my lips there are no traces of iler... tengsin very sih...” Ning screams in the heart with a look of surprise and shame.
