Shizuka Steady Chick

Issues that are ignored

When everyone has not chosen to trust someone, that belief is gone. On the basis of a conjecture or guess it will lead to a false reality. A rot that is hoarded very deep and in a very long time will smell as well. The truth may be hard to prove. But it will all be revealed when conscience is able to distinguish the real and the action is able to prove it.

During Shizuka's silence in her house and shop, she never again got word from Haikal. He has not received a call from Elvis Presley since the incident. Even so, Shizuka was still working. Zeexsa helped him through his difficult times.

"Excuse me does Shizuka exist? I'm Rona. This is Wilda, and this is Alda. We're from Elvis Presley's company."

"There's a sister," said Cika dropping them off.

"The shop is small, but cool and beautiful yes," Alda said looking around.

Shizuka looked at the three women. He approached them and greeted them. The three women replied politely. Then Shizuka offers some of her latest clothes for the three women to buy.

"This is the latest game model. Available with five colors and the size is also complete from the smallest to the size of the jumbo," said Shizuka while giving the robe to Rona.

"Masyaallah is very beautiful," said Alda while touching the robe.

"Yes pretty. I want to try," said Wilda glanced at the robe.

"What the hell are you guys? Later on buy it," said Rona staring at Wilda and Alda.

Shizuka smiled.

"Sorry! Our purpose in coming here was to ask you Shizuka."

"Yes it's okay. You know me?"

"certain. My friends and I are both employees of Elvis Presley. My name is Rona, on my right side it's Wilda, and on my left it's Alda. So, we're here to ask Shizuka for help."

"I'm sorry it has nothing to do with that company anymore. You can ask for help from others. Excuse me first because I want to continue my work."

"Wait a minute Shizuka. I'm just asking and asking for a solution from you."

"What if Shizuka doesn't care about Rona? Could it be us?" Said Wilda running after Rona.

Alda did not answer Wilda's words. He took the robe that Rona put on the hanger rack. He watched the game from all sides.

"The motif is beautiful, the model is also new, the material is also good, not hot and pink as well. This is my taste," muttered Alda smiling.

"Shizuka I wouldn't say bad like Kartika. I am not close to him either. Please listen to me."

"Already Rona. Looks like Shizuka's not related to the people who work at Elvis Presley. He won't help us" whispered Wilda.

"I'll convince her again Wilda. Wait here."

"Shizuka I know you are angry and disappointed at what happened. But I'm sure you're not wrong. So will you listen to me? You're a good girl. Why should I hate me? I have nothing bad to say to you and I have nothing to do with Kartika. I ask if I'm wrong with you Shizuka" said Rona with two teary balls.

"Don't do this. Don't be sad" said Shizuka.

"You forgive me?"

"What are you wrong? You're not wrong."

"But I didn't do anything when you were humiliated in the meeting room. I just kept quiet."

"It's not your fault. It's only natural that you're silent because you don't know me yet and the situation at that time is also very heated."

"I'm sorry Shizuka. I still feel guilty for you."

"I'm also sorry Shizuka" Wilda said.

"I don't blame you guys. Don't apologize again or I'll shut up again."

"Don't dong Shizuka," said Rona sprightly.

"alright. Are we friends now?" Wilda asked in a soft tone of voice.

"Yes we're friends. I used to think everyone in Elvis Presley's company was my friend."

"Thank you so much beautiful Shizuka," said Rona clasping Shizuka's hand.

"What are you doing, Shizuka? Looks like you're drawing" said Wilda glancing at the table full of stacked papers.

"Yes. I'm drawing wedding clothes."

"Wow cool!" rona.

"Goddessa! Can I see?" Ask Wilda.

"The picture is not finished yet because from earlier I feel the picture is not good. Oh yeah, what were you guys talking about?"

"Oh that. We want to know how to make a kebaya dress. Traditional kebaya dress like the days of Kartini's mother."

"Just one more Rona, the clothes are elegant too. Although the traditional clothes must look elegant or luxurious for the audience to like it," said Wilda.

"Yes right. Do you know how Shizuka is?"

"Rona looks like Shizuka is very busy right now. We'll come back another time" said Wilda lethargic.

"I'll help you guys. Don't worry, you guys" Shizuka smiled.

"Alhamdulillah! Thank you very much Shizuka," said Rona laughing.

"When is the deadline? If today I can't because of a lot of orders."

"His deadline is still long Shizuka. Three more months. Can you?" Rona.

"Goddessa! You guys come here next Monday. We'll talk about it together."

"But I want to tell you Shizuka. My message is that you don't tell Elvis Presley's company that you're helping us" Rona said.

"Yes Shizuka. This is because of past events, so they do not want to be related to you anymore. I'm sorry Shizuka we're involving you again."

"Yes fine."

"Rona, Wilda try to look at my appearance" Alda said while developing a game yes he wore.

"Alda! You tried that robe. You want to buy it?" Wilda was shocked.

"You're so pretty wearing Alda. It suits you" Shizuka said.

"really? I look pretty? Then I bought this Shizuka, " said Alda looking at himself in the mirror.

"You're jealous of Wilda because I have this shirt. I'll wear it on a date."

Shizuka, Rona, and Wilda laughed. Alda looked at them with a smile. Then take off the shirt to put it on the plastic and get paid by it. After that the three of them said goodbye to Shizuka.

...****************...

Haikal sat on a long gray sofa. The clothes are white with long arms. The shirt looks neat, clean, and slippery. Same with the pants he was wearing. On top of his desk is a laptop, a cell phone, novel books, a green-colored plastic map and a photo fitting of Shizuka. He glanced at Shizuka's file which was inside that map. He remembered about the bad issues that had befallen Shizuka.

"The woman couldn't sleep well. He also must have difficulty towards those who looked down on him. What is he doing now, huh? Would I be better off going to the Unicorn village to look for evidence on the issue? Ja. That's a great idea" Haikal said, taking a photo of Shizuka.

"What am I not doing. I can take care of myself all day at home. So that I'm more beautiful and Vikram is more in love with me," said Debi walked coquettish.

"Debi! You're not a course?"

"Got bang."

"Why?"

"The course is postponed."

"Yes why? You speak the complete."

"Shizuka is sick."

"He's not on medication? How is it now? Until when is the course postponed?"

"All right, that Shizuka must be sad. My guess is correct. He also fell ill, "the murmur of Haikal biting his lower lip.

The weather was very cloudy today. The leaves on the tree fall. The wind blows very hard. It made Haikal confused to go to Unicorn village or not. From the window, he looked at the people running. He positioned Shizuka among all those people. Shizuka ran over with tears. His crying collided with the rain. In the streets that have been flooded with rain makes his flip-flops almost broken. Flip slippers with a thin base and the color also fades. It was inconceivable that the scream of suffering was locked by the sound of nature.

Haikal kept staring at the woman he imagined as Shizuka. The woman took shelter at the oplet stop. He closed his eyes as if he were dreaming. His whole body was soaked. It was the same with his heart that had been flooded with wounds and tears. The woman was wearing a brown joking skirt with a similar color dress. Her hair was scattered like the roots of a plant, her lips were pale without lipstick, her skin was white and soft like silk.

Smelling and seductive aroma. The money's poking the nose. It feels like the esophagus wants to swallow it. The longer the imagination is lost because the aroma can no longer be held back. The stomach also feels like a drumbend or like rumbling.

"It's like mom's cooking scent. Hm, this is just my imagination. He's not Shizuka. It's better for me to go to the kitchen to see the food that mom cooked," Haikal said, taking his eyes off the woman at the stop.

"Feel it looks good" said Debi, sitting at the dinner table and getting ready to eat.

"It doesn't look good. This is exactly the same as the cuisine of five-star restaurants," said Herlina serves the cuisine of famous chefs such as Chef Arnold.

"The aroma of the cuisine is delicious. It must have been very delicious too. You cook pa tu?" haikal embraced his mother from behind.

"This is Rendang and gulai fern. Some of them are in the kitchen. Please take Debi first."

"Sana Debi! The cuisine will be waiting for you" said Haikal.

"And I almost enjoyed the rendang. Okay I'll serve!" said Debi ran into the kitchen.

"Mom, when's dad coming home? We'll get together again, right? It's been years that Dad's been away from us. We are not complete without a father" said Haikal put rendang to his rice.

"Patience son. Your father's out of town."

"Feel coming. This is my favorite crab soup."

"You eat quietly. I'm going to go to the room first."

"Mom hasn't eaten. Eat first, Mom. Mother's cuisine is delicious" Haikal said as he chewed.

"Mother cooks a lot. We ate with yuk Bu! Said Debi excitedly bribing crab soup into his mouth.

"Mom has a job. You guys continue eating."

Haikal and Debi nodded. They ate the food without pause. The taste and aroma of the dish has now made them satisfied. Their hunger was also gone. Now the two clean each other's tables and share tasks to tidy up and wash dishes. Haikal went into the kitchen with dirty dishes. After that he helped Debi organize the dining room table.

"It's my job. Just go there. I can do it myself" Debi said at the dinner table.

"Related?" Haikal said while tidying up his chair.

"Yes bang. I am good at things like this. I've grown up. Don't spoil me anymore" Debi assured him.

"Yes already. I lived first, my little brother."

"I'm not a child anymore" said Debi.

"So mom why don't you eat?" Haikal nyamperin his mother.

Haikal accidentally dropped a small box on his mother's dresser. He saw a familiar photograph. It was his father with another woman. Haikal wondered in his heart. But he found no answer. His mind gets mixed up. One side he still has no evidence about the issue experienced by Shizuka, one side he is also confused about his father who has no news. Now he is also more confused because he saw a woman he did not know with his father.

The bathroom door is open. His mother came in with an anxious face when she saw Haikal holding a photo. He hurriedly pulled the photo out of Haikal's hands. Sontak Haikal was shocked and accidentally caused his photo to tear. His mother was sitting in bed. Look at the photo he saved a few weeks ago.

"Mom forgive me. I was not intentionally. I was surprised that my mother suddenly came and took the picture from my hand" Haikal said, sitting next to his mother.

"Why did you open the box? Have you seen the person in the photo?" Ask her mother worriedly.

"I accidentally nudged her Mom. But who is the woman in the photo, Mom? Is that dad's sister?"

"No. He's a nobody. Now go into your room. I'll be alone first."

"But Mom, I want to know who that woman is. If not my brother. Who is she, ma'am?" Haikal asked to take a photo that was divided into two earlier.

"Just put it there. You go to your room. Don't ask me too many questions."

"Yes. But mom ate yes. I'll get mom's cooking."

"Haikal mom hasn't eaten yet. I want to be alone first" cried his mother.

Haikal. He looked at his mother who was full of emotion. When his gaze collided with his mother's gaze, the look of his mother's eyes became increasingly visible. Whether it was regret for scolding her son or it was because of the photo of the woman who was with her husband. Haikal took a deep breath. Then left his mother with a brief smile.

A few seconds Haikal left from his mother's room, the door of his mother's room was closed. His cries began to rip Haikal's heart out. He realized that the woman was because his father did not return to his mother as well as himself and his sister. He played melow music. The song was calm, slow, and upset making him pensive.

"I finally knew that my mother was hiding this big problem. I'll find out about the girl. This is not true. Mom loves dad. Dad has to come back to us" Haikal said firmly.

...****************...

"This is no coincidence. There will be injustice on Shizuka," Denta said peeking at Alfi.

"What are you thinking? Seriously, you look at that video. What is that video about?"

"No Alfie. It's just my job."

"Elvis Presley now what? Have they found a fashion designer?" Tanya Alfi put her cigarette ashtray.

"Hm not yet."

"You know Shizuka. She's a girl who likes to embroider. These few months I never saw him again. Whether he is still embroidery as well or he has been successful in running his business in various branches" said Alfi while playing guitar.

"Why do you still remember? Isn't this all your fault? You're the cause of Shizuka not being accepted into Elvis Presley's company."

"What's? You said what? I didn't do anything. How did this all go my fault? Did he apply for a job at Elvis Presley's company?"

"No! I mispronounced. I'm sorry," said Denta.

Alvin smiled as he played his guitar. He doesn't talk about Shizuka anymore. His song is so relaxed full of the word love. The music is so beautiful. He sang a song performed by Indonesian singer Pasto under the title "Honey". So sad to live it, Alfi did not pay attention to the video watched by Denta.

He still remembered the female touch that drew him so strongly. Her soft hands were still on her skin. That twilight Alfi who was hanging out in the Ginting cafe accidentally saw Shizuka going to the mosque. As the sun was about to set, he approached her in a hurry. The streets are usually quiet and only traversed by bicycles, not usually will be crowded so. When Alfi crossed over and shouted Shizuka's name, he was hit by a motorcycle. Even though he was hit, he was placed on all fours to menei Shizuka. He had trouble chasing Shizuka because both of his legs were already injured and his head was covered in blood. He can only touch Shizuka's feet. Shizuka avoided him when Alfi was about to touch him. Shizuka's refusal, made Alfi continue to try to hold his legs until he pulled Shizuka's skirt. The skirt ripped slightly and left a bloodstain.

Shizuka screamed loudly. He looked at Alfi with anxiety, fear, and panic. Several young men and mothers there ran to help Alfie. Denta is there too. He called an ambulance. Shizuka was taken to the village chief's house.

People judge Shizuka as a cunning woman because she has seduced Alfi, the son of the village chief and the owner of the 33rd State Elementary School Sibolga. Although Alfi is known as a wayward man, everyone still blames Shizuka. It cannot be forgotten by the local people.

Since that incident, Alfi no longer lives in the village of Unicorn. He is forced by his parents to go out of town to no longer meet Shizuka. Both of his parents only have one child, an Alfi. Alfi has physical characteristics with white skin, height, ideal with his weight, his eyes narrow, his hair straight, his nose pointed, and his lips thin.

Many women are infatuated with him because of his good looks and wealth. Alfi also liked one woman who was crazy about him. But that love was not long for him. That love runs aground when Alfi gets to know Shizuka. He sees Shizuka only from a distance while in the village of Unicorn because both his parents and the villagers always whisper about the incompatible.

Over time, all that hate speech to Shizuka sank. No one scoffs at him anymore. His talent made the village famous and many media also carried news about the Unicorn village that had given birth to the intelligent Unicorn Princess.

"Smart you also sing Alfie. Your guitar playing is cool too. But I'm sure you must have thought of someone while singing that song. Aye right?" Denta clapped his hands.

"This is a song for my girl. He always fills my heart."

"Yes, may the woman feel your love and not be heartbroken by being betrayed by love" Denta said raising eyebrows.

"Breaked heart how? He is all I adore. He will not be heartbroken" said Alfi smiling.

"He doesn't know anything. Did I just tell him about Shizuka being insulted during a meeting at Elvis Presley? Ah you better not just because the problem could be more complicated," muttered Denta nodded.

"What are you thinking? You're worried I'm gonna beat up Shizuka?"

"No Alfie. I'm just worried that your parents are going to bless you?" Denta said reasoned.

"Just calm. My parents will accept Shizuka as their daughter-in-law. I'm sure it is."

"Thank God you can love him forever. Friend's spirit!"

"Okay thanks Denta. Tomorrow we'll meet Shizuka. Pray that everything will be fine."

"Yes definitely. I'm sure Shizuka misses you too" said Denta laughing out loud.

"Clearly. I am the only man who loves him" said Alfi full of passion.
