Asisiten Fauzan
The woman did not repeat her question, whereas, Nadia was still confused by her intention to repeat. So, what exactly should he repeat in this matter?
Nadia immediately tidied back the blanket Arfan that she had just flicked. The girl was so embarrassed that she had acted so humiliating, angry and upset as an expression of disappointment to herself, but she vented on this unconscious person like Arfan.
‘Did this woman see all my behavior? Astaghfirullah, I don't know, I think it's just myself but, I don't know he's the way here, it was’ Nadia's mind while stealing a glance at the woman whose hair was bleached.
Indeed Nadia was completely unaware when the woman entered, she deliberately stepped slowly without making a sound from the shoes she was wearing. The woman looked friendly and shady-faced, and calm.
The woman was Fatimah, the sister of Imma, who promised to visit her nephew that morning. However, when he wanted to enter the treatment ward, he saw an unusual sight in Arfan's room.
At first he was suspicious if Nadia wanted to do bad to his nephew, even he had made a recording to serve as evidence if at any time needed. However, the opposite happened, Arfan looks to experience good development. Maybe it was the effect of the positive words that had been heard when Nadia spoke.
How not, has an effect, if what Nadia says is a call, spirit, as well as threats and complaints that really provoke emotions if normal humans who hear it.
“Who are you? I've never seen you before. Are you Zan's assistant, the one he told me to take his place?” ask Fatimah calmly.
“I Nadia.”
“Oh, So, is it true that you are Zan's assistant?”
Nadia is confused as to what to answer, because she is unlikely to answer if she was kidnapped and now she does not know where the kidnapper who does not know himself is. If only he could get away from that place, he wouldn't have met with such a shitty thing.
“Ya.” Nadia said honestly, she used to be an assistant from Hadian in the office to clean the secret room. While Fauzan is the son of the man, it may be the same if he calls himself an assistant who helps facilitate the work of the two men.
Nadia shrugged her shoulders then, again saying, “But, that was it, Nonya. Coincidentally today I was here waiting for Mr. Fauzan to come.”
“Oh,” The woman said while nodding her head, she knew a chatty man like Fauzan, where there was an assistant who was at home with her, except Jali. Maybe if it wasn't for the need for money, the man would have left it as well.
Then, Fatima looked around and her gaze was fixed on some paper bag that Ella brought yesterday until she again said, “What is that gift from you, make Arfan? Wow, this much gift must be my niece loves it!”
Nadia was stunned, she did not know at all what the parcel was, even she did not touch at all because she realized all the items were not hers. But now what can he do but be silent.
Fatima took a look and looked at all the contents and smiled sweetly at Nadia while taking one pear from the blue paper bag.
“You know what my favorite is? Come, peel!” the order of Fatimah, while giving the fruit to Nadia who was still dumb.
“Come! The knife's in the drawer! You give Arfan a little on the plate, let him smell it, let him open his eyes again! Fast!” fatima said again. While Nadia started walking to pick up the knife and peel the fruit.
During the peeling of the fruit, Fatima told a lot of stories and Nadia became the only listener. The old woman spoke as if Arfan was taking part in the conversation. Even her words lead to praising Nadia who clearly did not understand what her praise meant.
Moreover, Nadia was busy thinking about Fatima's words about Arfan to open her eyes again, had the man opened his eyes before? Nadia had never once seen Arfan open his eyes since he got there. It's weird, right?
From the chat, Nadia knew that if Fatima was a woman who did not have children and loved her Imma—adik children, she often came to see Arfan and follow his development. Yesterday he had a chance to meet Imma at a Mall and the woman told him about a development that showed kindness even though, only a little.
He hoped that if he was the first to see his nephew, his wish came true. He immediately approached Arfan when he saw the man's eyes open slightly, but, as he approached, his nephew had already closed his eyes again.
Fatima asks Nadia to repeat her actions because she wants to see Arfan open her eyes again, but until now, nothing else has happened.
Just as they finished the second pear, Imma came with the same fruit. Fatima said, “Arfan! Wake up, see your Mama come, everyone loves you, they bring you your favorite fruit, come on!”
Imma looked in wonder at her older sister who was acting strangely, because usually the woman always said meek and calm, rarely joking, and was more serious though, friendly and kind. He glanced at Nadia who looked smiling, her suspicion growing. Instantly he thought bad if Nadia who had transmitted the habits of the villagers to her brother. How unsuspecting, because usually if Fatima spoke to Arfan was always soft while rubbing his head and hands, but, what she saw this time, Fatima said while shaking her waist.
Nadia smiled because she was surprised how the old woman could follow her style when talking to Arfan, it was an emotional way and at the same time funny, if done by parents like Fatima.
“Mbakyu!” hello Imma while poking her sister's hand, “why the hell, kok, talking like that?”
“Indeed why, something is wrong with me?”
Fatima turned to Nadia and Imma in turn, then, she moved from her seat, grabbing her handbag, then, she said, “Come! Come shopping to City Mall! There are discount items there!”
“Mbakyu! I just came.” Imma subtly refused.
“Halah, come with me! Nadia, pick me up, yeah!” fatima said as she passed the door.
“Good Bude ...”
Nadia nodded, she mentioned Fatima by the same name as Fauzan and Arfan if she mentioned herself. They had agreed earlier, if the old woman did not want to be called Madam. Since starting peeling and eating pears together, the two women looked familiar. This also makes Imma surprised by the familiarity she suddenly felt.
“I want to talk to you?” fatima said as soon as they were outside the room and closed the door.
“What's the matter, Mbak?”
“Soal Nadia!”
“Why with that village girl?”
