"Miss, may I ask you a favor?" ask Rika.
"Boleh Rik. What would you like to ask for help?" sahut Nisa's.
"Please buyin pain reliever come months at the pharmacy ya Nis. I'm not strong on the road, understand the first day of the pain of confusion." said Rika.
"OKAY. I also went to the minimarket. Want nitip let alone, let all the way." said Nisa.
"The same sanitary napkin that is usually Nis" Rika said while holding her painful stomach.
"Every boss. I'll go first." said Nisa.
"Be careful Nis." said Rika.
"For sure" said Nisa.
Nisa has already stepped away from her contract. First he will go to the pharmacy to buy Rika order best friend, only then to the minimarket for shopping needs.
As he was about to arrive at the pharmacy, his phone suddenly rang. Just now Nisa was about to see her phone, there was a man who hit her.
Bruukes.
Luckily Nisa did not fall because the man immediately embraced her. Nisa also immediately broke away from the man because of his anxiety. Just this time he was hugged by a man other than his father.
"Sorry Dek, I was in a hurry" said the man.
"I'm sorry Mas, I was busy looking at HP earlier" said Nisa lowered her head while picking up her phone that fell. Luckily the phone was still on, though it was scratched a little.
"Your phone broke the Deck. Let me change ya." said the man as he took Nisa's phone and saw the damage.
"Ga, thank you. Excuse me first." said Nisa who then took her phone from the man and went to the pharmacy.
Nisa half ran towards the pharmacy. Somehow he was afraid of the man because he hugged him. Nisa tried to erase the shadow of the man from her mind.
After finishing buying Rika's order, Nisa walked towards the minimarket. Minimarket visitors were quite crowded when Nisa arrived there. Because Nisa comes at the office. Seeing the crowd in the minimarket alone Nisa was tired. But Nisa still moves through the crowd of buyers, Nisa does not want to make Rika wait too long.
Toothpaste, shampoo, laundry soap, bath soap, dishwashing soap, and much more. Nisa also bought some snacks. Upon arriving at the snack rack, Nisa sees her favorite snack staying 1 pack. Nisa took it right away. But when he was holding the snack pack, his hand was held by someone. He also wants to take Nisa's favorite snack.
Nisa saw the hand was stocky, it could be ascertained for sure the owner is male.Nisa ventured to see the face of the person.
"Did?" Nisa was shocked when she saw that person's face. He was the same man who hit him earlier.
Shortly afterwards Nisa realized that her hand was still held by the man. Nisa immediately pulled her hand. Then start walking away without that snack.
"Wait for the Deck, this is for you" said the man who had stood in front of Nisa while offering the snack earlier.
"Ga naga Mas. Make it nothing. I can take the others." said Nisa.
"Make you. You were the first one to hold it." said the man as he placed the snack in Nisa's shopping cart.
"Eh. Yes, if so I take it. Thank you yes. Excuse me first. Mari Mas." said Nisa as she walked past the man.
Nisa looked at her shopping list for a while. When it was enough, Nisa immediately went to the cashier.
"That's a long queue. It's almost Maghrib again. Rika has been waiting a long time for me." murmured Nisa.
15 Minutes Nisa's in line. Finally it was time for Nisa to pay at the cashier. The cashier starts counting Nisa's groceries. Nisa also handed out several sheets of 100 thousand bills.
"Sorry Ma'am, the money is less than 50 thousand" the cashier told Nisa.
"What is really a mom?" ask Nisa to make sure.
"Beneficial Mbak. You can see here." said the cashier while showing the numbers on the computer. Nisa also examined him.
"Feel feelings have been calculated really" Nisa said in her heart.
"Oh yeah, I was buying Rika's order.". Nisa murmured.
"It means the goods are reduced aja Mbak." Nisa told the cashier.
"The rest is the same as me" said a man behind Nisa. Nisa also looked.
"Eh no need Mas. I don't want to take nicotine." said Nisa surprised to see the man.
"Ga anything. I'm still in it, continue to count. Pity the one in line at the back." said the man.
The cashier also complied and immediately counted their groceries. Nisa did not argue, because the queue at the back was very long.
When the payment is complete, Nisa immediately brings 2 bags of grocery crackers.
"Here I help" said the man while carrying Nisa's groceries.
"Masa' I didn't bring anything. It was all my groceries." said Nisa, her hand trying to reach her groceries. But the man kept him away. Then he thrust 1 small bag of crackles.
"You just bring this one" said the man with a smile.
"But Mas" said Tisya.
"Udah ain't nothing. Let's find a place to eat first, shall we?" the man asked Nisa for her approval.
"But just a minute. Because I have been waiting for my friend." said Nisa.
"OKAY. We eat at the catfish pecel next to this minimarket" said the man.
"So much" said Nisa.
Finally they walked to the pecel lele stall which was close to the minimarket. They sat down and ordered food. While waiting for an order, Nisa picks up her phone and sends a message to Rika that she is coming home a little late.
"Can I borrow the phone from Dek?" the man said it surprised Nisa.
"Eh can Mas. Please." said Nisa while giving her phone. The man immediately received Nisa's phone. He seemed to write something and then look at the state of the phone.
"Udah. Thanks" said the man, returning Nisa's phone.
"Sama-sama Mas's. I should be the same thanks for paying for my less groceries. Tomorrow I give you the money back." said Nisa.
"You need to return it as well. I'm sincere in helping you" said the man.
"But it's not good Mas." said Nisa.
"Well, if you want to give back the money. Tomorrow we meet again at this place." said the man.
"OK Mas" said Nisa smiling. The man rounded his eyes to see Nisa smiling.
"Sugary" said the man in his heart.
"Oh yeah, I've talked a lot but I don't know whose name you are. I know my name is Revan. What's your name?" asked the man while extending his hand to greet Nisa.
"My name is Nisa Mas" said Nisa shaking Revan's hand.
"What a pretty name. Like the guy." said Revan.
"Mas Revan can do it" said Nisa smiling and looking down embarrassed.
"Have you got a girlfriend yet?" ask Revan.
"Yet Mas. I want to focus on college first." replied Nisa.
"Thank you" Nisa and Revan said at the same time.
"Where did you go to college Dek?" ask Revan.
"At Y Mas university." replied Nisa while drinking her iced tea.
"Oh yeah. I just graduated from that university. What semester are you in?" ask Revan.
"Semester 6 Mas." said Nisa.
"Masa' anyway? I never saw you" said Revan.
"The campus is wide Mas." said Nisa who did not stop eating food in front of him.
"Yes too. Oh yeah, where do you live?" ask Revan again.
"It's just so close here" said Nisa.
"Who do you live with?" ask Revan.
"Sama temenku Mas. We live in a contract with both." said Nisa.
"If that's all food for your friends" said Revan.
"Eh no need Mas. I don't want to bother Mas Revan anymore" said Nisa.
"Ga nerepotin Deck. Let's just say I treat you" said Revan.
"But Mas" said Nisa.
"It's nothing" said Revan.
"Mbak." call Revan to the shop clerk.
"Yes Mas." said the shop employee.
"Please pesen wrapped in 1 serving yes" said Revan.
"Oke Mas" said the clerk and immediately left the two of them.
Revan and Nisa soon finish their meal. Revan was astonished to see Nisa who finished her meal. Just this time he saw a woman who did not spare his food. Especially it's night. Many women are afraid of getting fat over dinner.
"Aren't you afraid of the fat Dek?" ask Revan suddenly.
"Haha. Mas Revan is. Masa' is afraid of the same fat. Why did Mas Revan ask me the same question" said Nisa laughing.
"Yes nothing at all. I rarely see a girl eating her food. Especially now it's a gini malem." said Revan.
"I'm not afraid of fat Mas. Some say the old fat people are a sign of happiness. Besides, it's a pity if the food is thrown away. There are still many people out there who cannot eat 3 times a day" explained Nisa.
"I salute you Dek" said Revan.
"O yes Mas. What if I go home first? I feel sorry for me. He waited 2 hours for me." said Nisa.
"Yes I'm anterin" said Revan who stood up.
"Ga naga Mas. I went home alone. It's just deket." said Nisa.
"Yes, that's it. I pay ya first." said Revan as he stepped towards the cashier's desk.
Shortly thereafter Revan returned to Nisa while carrying 1 small bag of crackles containing rice wrap for Rika.
"Make your friend" Revan said as he thrust the bag.
"Thank you, Mom. Then I'll go back first. Bye Mas." said Nisa, waving her hand and leaving Revan.
"Bye Nisa is beautiful." muttered Revan with a smile.
Nisa walked quickly towards the contract. Not until 10 minutes, Nisa has arrived at the contract. Nisa looks for the contract key in her bag, but never meets. Then Nisa knocked on the door.
Geck. Geck. Geck.
"Rica. It's me Nisa." shouted Nisa.
"Yes bentar Nis." said Rika from inside the house.
"You are so long Nis" Rika said as she opened the door.
"Sorry Rik. There was a small incident" Nisa said as she entered the house.
"Aren't you okay, Nis?" tanya Rika was worried.
"Ga anything Rik. Oh yes this is your pesenan." said Nisa while giving a bag of crackle from the pharmacy.
"And here's your dinner." continued Nisa and immediately gave the bag of food crackle.
"Waaah. Thanks to Nis. I didn't lose 2 more hours. Fortunately, I fell asleep. Hehe." said Rika as she walked into the kitchen.
"That's why I'm not in a hurry to go home to Rik." said Nisa while sitting in the kitchen chair.
"Where have you been, Nis?" rika asked while opening the food pack that Nisa brought.
"So I met a really handsome guy Rik" said Nisa still smiling. Rika who saw Nisa smiling was astonished.
"What's? Since when is a Nisa interested in guys?" rika asked half-screaming.
"Ga need to shout also Rik time. I'm not interested in guys, but I'm not interested. I'm just amazed by him" explained Nisa.
"Seep a strange Nis even though just amazed. All this time every guy who deletin you must avoid. But now you're amazed by guys. It's a miracle of the Nis world" Rika said as she chewed on the food in front of her.
"Seeaneh that's Rik?" ask Nisa.
"He'em." said Rika.
"Udah ah that's it. I'm gonna finish the groceries first. Eat until it runs out, no one can be thrown away" said Nisa while pointing at Rika's food.
"Every boss." said Rika.
Rika continued her eating. Nisa tidied up her groceries. After she finished cleaning everything up, Nisa went to the kitchen to pick up a cold drink. When the kitchen is empty, it means Rika is already in the room. After drinking, Nisa walked towards her room. When in front of Rika's room, it was seen that the room lights were dead.
"Basic kebo. Abis eat directly to sleep. But his body is still thin dry." murmured Nisa.
Nisa continued walking towards her room. Nisa is very tired today. I want to graduate from college, continue to work in a dream place.
Nisa then laid her body on the bed. Nisa closed her eyes, feeling her comfort. Nisa had been sleeping in that room for years, but it felt like only a few days.
Nisa opened her eyes and looked around, nothing ever changed. Nisa then grabbed her phone. Nisa tried to call her parents 1 time. Unanswered. 2 times. Unanswered. 3 times. Denied.
"Kok is rejected anyway? I miss them the same. Don't they miss me, do they?" mumbling Nisa. Nisa cries when she remembers her family. More precisely his foster family. Nisa's biological parents died in an accident when Nisa was 5 years old. No one's parents' brother wants to take care of Nisa. Nisa is taken to an orphanage by local RT. Little Nisa kept crying looking for her father and mother.
A few months later, Nisa was adopted by a couple. As Nisa was reminiscing about her past suddenly her phone shook. Nisa wishes it were her parents. But when she opened it, Nisa just scrunched her forehead.
"Good night, beautiful Nisa."
