Nora

02

At midnight, Hendri was still preoccupied by the files piled up on his desk.

The file on his desk workspace is not comparable to the files and data that he must sign in his office which may be if made mount holder, it could be 3 mountains.

Hendri nibbled his temple which felt a little pain. He was tired and wanted to rest. Shortly thereafter, the wife came with a cup of hot chocolate.

"Pa... Papa don't take a break? This is already in the middle of the mall, notar if papa is sick how?"

Hendri just smiled, he then stroked his wife's cheeks and briefly kissed the wife's sweet lips. "Yes ma. This is almost done. Mama sleeps first gih, ntar papa nyulai."

Mika shook her head, she took a chair and placed it next to her husband and then sat down while smiling at her husband.

"No ah! Mama's here alone, papa's nemenin until this is all done."

Hendri smiled. He returned to his work accompanied by his beloved wife.

'Papa. o papa...' The voice of a child was heard from Hendri's cell phone.

The voice is the voice of Damian who was singing when he was just 4 years old. He used it as a ringtone because it felt funny when he remembered his little boy.

Hendri also picked up a phone that was listed as "Bagas" which was none other than his business friend.

"Hallo.." said hendri.

"......."

"Yes...."

"........"

"okay, okay. I'll be there." Hendri closed the phone first.

Mika looked at her husband with a look of wonder. "Why pa?"

Hendri was silent for a while. "Pri. We're invited to my daughter's wedding. But....?"

Mika raised one eyebrow. "Loh?? Nice dong pa? Why are you confused?"

Hendri sighed. "Yes. papa knows. Just how is Nora's fate if we go there? Papa's house is in Paris lo ma!"

Mika was silent, she held her chin, making a thinking pose. "Um. I don't think papa, if we stay in Nora. There's Damian, Matteo and Ravin at home."

"Yes too, ma? Okay, we tell you everything tomorrow, ma?!"

Mika nodded in agreement. When they were done with the files, they went to the bedroom to sleep.

Tomorrow............

"Yes...!! Hiks mama where....?" Nora cried while hugging the pillow. He was still not used to it, usually if he woke up, then the face of his mother was the first he saw.

"Sttts.... Nora dear.... mama here ok!!" Mika runs towards Nora's room and hugs Nora tightly.

"Hiks.... Nora's scared..."

"Sttt. cup-cup, don't cry. Nora had breakfast together, huh...? Mama's been cooking good food for Nora"

Nora nodded, after which they went together to the dining room.

"M. L....?" Nora spoke spoiled while everyone was eating.

"Yes Nora... What's wrong?"

"Suapi....." Mika smiled and immediately greeted Nora who was sitting on her right side.

"Ma...?" This time there was a voice coming from his left side. As Mika turned her head, she saw a smiling Hendri full of strange intentions.

"What's wrong?" Ask Mika who is still cool to feed Nora.

"Ish. Papa also wants to be bribed ma...." Hendri spoke in a spoiled tone of voice, even he swung his lips as if he was a child sulking at his parents.

"Byurrerear....." Damian and Matteo spout their drinks when they hear their papa.

While Ravin only glared horror at the behavior of his father. "Papa's sane??" Ask Matteo.

Hendri did not touch his son. He prefers to enjoy a treat from his beloved wife.

Finish eating.. suddenly the atmosphere becomes quiet. Only the sound of a spoon made by Nora could be heard there.

"Why is everything in diem....?" Asked Nora innocently.

Hendri sighed. "Kids. papa wants to talk important things."

"What pa?" Ask Matteo.

"Tomorrow papa and mom want to go to Paris, you don't papa if left?"

Nora remained cool with her spoon, she did not hear any words from Hendri.

"Go away, pa. The important thing is not to forget to bring souvenirs for us. Same pocket money also do not forget to be loved, we do not papa kok pa" Damian said while eating his food.

"Ok, but you guys don't be naughty!! For tomorrow, one of you doesn't go to school just to take care of Nora, and then change for the next day, okay?!"

Damian nodded along with Matteo. "Aren't Nora going to school?" Matteo asked in surprise.

"No, Nora doesn't go to school. Nora can't." Nora's mouthful while shaking her head.

Matteo decided not to ask and continued his breakfast. After breakfast, they go to school.

Tomorrow.... Mika and her husband were ready to leave.  Nora is confused because she does not know if Hendri and Mika will go to Paris. And when Hendri and Mika have left, he just told Damian.

Nora wanted to cry, but as her eyes were about to tear, Matteo threatened to make her sleep outside if she kept crying. Nora rubbed her eyes violently and tried not to cry.

Now, Nora is in the living room with Matteo cool with his phone. Feeling bored, Nora constantly changes TV channels.

Until finally... Nora smiled as she looked at the impressions that made her come back excited.

"Oi!! I drink ambilin dong" said Matteo.

Nora did not reply, she was too focused on TV shows.

"Whoi!! Ambilin I drink bud*k!!" Matteo shouted right beside Nora.

The shocked Nora stood up. "A-there's a-pa sis ?" Nora asked while holding back tears.

"I'm drinking!! Denger no?! Ambilin snack also gih!!"

Nora ran straight into the kitchen. Open the refrigerator and take a few snacks and a glass of mango juice.

"I-this is sis.." Nora put all her luggage on the table next to the chair that Matteo occupied.

Unintentionally, Nora nudges Matteo's hand, causing Matteo to drop his phone.

"Eh!! How the hell!! What if my phone is broken?!! You are a girl so bego!! Where the hell is your brain?!!" Matteo spoke while pointing at Nora.

Nora who could not stand it finally cried. Matteo was a bit pity, actually, he did not realize that he had said rudely to Nora because Nora had dropped her phone.

Indeed, when it comes to his phone, Matteo will be so angry if something bothers him.

Nora ran to her room, locked the door of the room and sat hugging her knees while crying sobbing.

"Ma.... Nora fear.... Nora kangen same mom, kangen papa. You guys when to go home.. hiks...."

🌻🌻🌻🌻

But... What makes him confused is, why he could be in bed? Remember sleeping on the floor?

Nora shook her head, she decided to forget about it. Then he went into the bathroom.

After the shower, Nora came out of her room. He went into the kitchen because he was hungry.

When she was in the kitchen, Nora saw Damian standing in front of the refrigerator drinking water.

"Son Damian doesn't go to school...?" Ask Nora.

Damian glanced for a moment, then he went back to drinking. "Gue truant" he said after he finished drinking.

"Oh...." Nora lowered. This time he spoke less for fear that he would be snapped.

"Lo want to eat?" Ask Damian.

Nora nodded. "Yes, sister, Nora laper"

Damian nodded. He then went to his room. After Damian left, Nora opened the fridge, picked up a piece of cake and a glass of milk, and ate it herself.

Nora was afraid of having to eat alone. Usually his mother or his father will feed and accompany him while eating. Yet.... Nora knows she won't be able to do that again for now.

After she finished eating, Nora put her plate into the dishwasher.

When I go back to his room. Suddenly Nora is stopped by Damian's voice.

"Oi!! Wash your dishes!! Eat for free, sleep for free here!! Uh! Nothing is free here, ok! Wash all the dirty dishes until clean, continue to sweep the floor until clean as well" Damian said in a cold voice.

Nora nodded her head immediately. He wanted to cry but he could stand it.

As soon as Damian, Nora did what Damian told her to do.

At first Nora could not wash the dishes, she was accustomed to being spoiled by her parents. But Nora kept trying. After finishing washing the dishes, Nora swept the family room floor first.

After everything was done, Nora went into her room.

"Test.. test... test.." drop by drop a thick red liquid dripped from Nora's nostrils.

Nora took the tissue on the dressing table and covered her nose to stop bleeding.

"Pa.... ma.... When do you go home...??" Nora said in her heart while crying silently.

Nora threw her blood-stained tissue into the trash. His head suddenly felt dizzy, and he decided to go to sleep.

"Sister, where's Nora?" Matteo asked his brother.

"Possibly roomed?"

"So, do you feel weird like a kid? When he was 17 years old, he looked like a boy?"

Damian raised one eyebrow. It was true what Matteo said, he also felt strange when he heard that Nora was not in school.

"I went home." Ravin's voice broke their daydreams.

Ravin, who had just arrived, sat down next to her brother.

"Why on diem?" Ask Ravin astonished. "Oi brother, lo kok very much, skipping no rhyme"

"Yes sorry Vin, I'm looking for nothing"

Ravin just sighed. He looked to the right and to the left. "Where is nora?" Ask.

"His room?" Matteo.

Ravin took off his shoes, then took the juice on the table without asking Matteo, the owner of the juice.

"Gue went to the boy's room first" Revin said.

"Min...."

Ravin went straight to Nora's room.

When we got to the door. Revin knocks on Nora's bedroom door. But he got no reply.

Ravin opened the door to Nora's room which was unlocked at the time. He went in and found Nora, who had fallen asleep with a pale face.

Wait....?? Pale?!! Ravin immediately approached Nora and checked her temperature and the result was not hot. Ravin was somewhat astonished when he saw the red tissue in the trash. He picked it up and was immediately shocked when he realized that it was blood.

"What the hell." he said and left Nora's room.

At night, when they ate together, there was no sound between them. Nora was silent, her face was not pale so Damian and Matteo did not know if Nora had been sick.

"Ra, I just found a tissue that had traces of blood in your room. Lo why? Facelo also shoots really fitting I saw earlier." Ravin asked Nora who had eaten earlier while bowing her head.

"Pucet..?? Why is it??" Ask Matteo.

Nora felt uncomfortable, as the three stared questioningly at her. Nora also ventured to puff up and laugh. He didn't know if because he cried for too long, and his voice when laughing sounded so bad.

"Ahaha. Nora is not papa"

After everything was done eating, Nora immediately took the dishes on the table and took them to the dishwasher and washed the dishes one by one.

Nora was afraid that Damian would say coldly to her. He was afraid of Matteo's clasping, so he decided to do it immediately so as not to be scolded by the brothers.

When going to put a clean plate into the shelf, suddenly Nora felt dizzy. His eyes were a little blurry and his body almost fell because he could not see the road properly.

"SNAKE!!!" The sound of broken plates.

Damian and the others were shocked and immediately ran towards the source of the sound.

How shocked they were when they saw Nora sitting on the floor picking up fragments of dishes.

"How much of a bego?!! Bring the plates!!" Matteo crouches down and helps Nora.

The others were the same, they helped Nora clean up the broken glass.

"Hiks. ma-sorry, N-ora hicks..."

After nothing left, Ravin threw the broken glass into the trash.

"Stand....!" Damian suddenly.

Nora stood up. Fresh blood flowed from his knees that slightly scratched the broken plate.

Nora could not help her crying. When she didn't know she was hurt, Nora didn't feel any pain. But now he knew, he was crying until his face turned a little red.

"Hiks... mama... hurts... Nora's knees hurt..... hua......!!"

"Sttt... diem!! Here you are, come with me!" Damian pulls Nora's hand and takes her to sit on a chair.

After that, he took the medicine box, brought it near Nora and began to clean the blood on Nora's knee using clean water, after which he bandaged Nora's wound using a bandage.

"Udah.. stop, don't cry anymore ok!!" Damian sighed. "Little wound gini aja lo nangis kayak. Basic, like a kid" Damian continued.

"Hiks.. a - finally N-ora is afraid of blood.. Hiks, Nora never saw the blood that b-many in the body of Nora... Nora's afraid... hiks..."

Damian looked at Nora with an astonished look, as did Matteo.

Ravin was silent. He looked at Nora with a difficult gaze to decipher.

TBC....
