The Light of ANAS

Like Addicted .....

“Kak Arfin,,,, “, shrewd Naz smiled and he kept looking at the man who was talking to Om and his father.The man who had been away from him for a year, but still dwelling in his heart, the man who some days always sought to know his existence, the man who taught him how to strengthen himself, the man who introduced him the beautiful meaning of love, love, and only then did he realize that he missed it so much even though his status is now his ex-lover.

“Finally I found you ex-boyfriend “, Naz murmured inwardly while smiling his eyes as if hypnotized reluctantly turning the other way. Naz continued to look at him silently and was blocked by the mourners sitting next to him, but when Arfin turned his head, he was, Naz immediately threw his face and hid behind other mourners so that Arfin would not see him.

After a while Naz who wears a white hoodie jacket whispers to Adinda, his late twin sister Ayunda to take him to his cousin's sister's room, then they went to the room on the second floor past the mourners and Naz put on a hoodie to walk down so that Arfin would not see him, although Naz did not pass through Arfin because he was close to the entrance.

Arriving at the room, Naz borrows a black pashmina veil and sunglasses to go to the cemetery.

“Dinda, have a mask?”, asked Naz who is now sitting on the bed.

“Ono Mbak, sadelo is not jupuke ndisik”, said Dinda with her jaw language while as much as she wanted to cry, then she took a mask from her dresser drawer, “Iki lho Mbak ono mask, she said, meh choose a mask of?” flavored skewers, he said while showing some masks of various flavors.

“Hadeuhh, speaking in Indonesian oruh atuh ,, I don't know Javanese, if Sundanese I'm fluent, yes, we talk you speak Javanese while I speak Sundanese, it's not funny like a chicken talking to a cat,, meow meow,,, kukuruyuk keketok ketok,, wwkwkkw”, said Naz while demonstrating with his hands as if he was a cat as well as a chicken.

“Yo wis,, iki mask there are several flavors, jicama taste, greentea taste, cucumber taste, pomegranate taste, honey taste, and strawberry taste,, Mba Nanaz want which one?”, tanya Dinda with Javanese medok logo shows disposable wet tissue masks of various variants.

“Yasalam,, I mean it's a mask for the mouth, not a mask for the face”, Naz clarifies the item he was looking for.

“Oh there is,,, briefly”, Dinda back take from the drawer, “Iki Mba Nanaz, golden mask for lips so that it is moist and not cracked”, , Dinda showed back the lip-specific instant packaging mask to Naz.

“Aduhh,,, Dinda, not a gini mask too, the time I went to the funeral wear soan,,, shy or suspected lips doer”, It turns out Dinda wrong again.

“Lah , continue like how anyway,, mumet me”, Dinda already feel dizzy because of the wrong continue.

“That's the mask that covers the nose of the same dust-proof mouth that is commonly used by people in hospital”, Naz makes it clear again the characteristics of the mask he means.

“Oh,, that's it, anyway, no Ma'am,, I don't have, hehhee”, said the newly-acquainted Dinda.

“Haduhh,, yasudah, later closed using a veil,, already yuk ah we out”, said Naz who had finished wearing a black pashmina veil and sunglasses. They both came out and it turned out that people were already on the outside about to drive to the funeral. Naz and Dinda join a group that will take you to the cemetery on foot.

Arriving at the funeral, Naz joined the mourners and did not approach the family line, because it turned out that he wanted to look at Arfin secretly even he had the opportunity to take a picture of Arfin secretly as well, I don't know what he was thinking when Aunt Ina and her two children were endlessly crying while mentioning the name of Ayunda.

“You're still as handsome as you used to be, but now you're looking thinner,,,”, now, muttered Naz in his heart while continuing to look at Arfin who was in the front row of the men who were praying after the corpse was finished being buried..

"His face looks pale, his eyes are also crooked,, is he really sick???, it seems I have to find out for myself”, he said in his heart.

The funeral procession was completed and ended with prayers, while the family and closest people read the Surah Yaasin together, including Naz and Arfin although Arfin was not aware of it. When everyone was about to go home, Naz's phone accidentally fell out of his jeans pocket as he got up from his seat, then Naz left.

“Mbak,, mbak wait..”, said someone calling while walking, Naz who recognized the voice just kept walking and ignored it, “Mbak black hood white jacket,,,,”, call him again.

Naz who felt wearing the clothes stopped ,”Yasalam, why did he call me, lest I have been caught again,, how is this,,??”, he muttered in his heart.

“Sorry Ma'am, this phone fell earlier”, said Arfin while thrusting the phone.

Naz turned his head down and covered part of his face with a veil, then took the phone from Arfin's hand, then nodded his head without saying anything, then Naz walked back even he accelerated his steps.

“The strange person,,,, “, Arfin muttered while watching Naz from behind, “It seems I know that person,,, ahh already, maybe it's just my feeling”, he said again, saying, then he went to leave the cemetery after saying goodbye to Mr. Aji who still wanted to stay in mourning the vortex of his daughter's tomb.

Naz, with a group of mourners returning from the funeral, had arrived at the funeral home, he opened his veil and sunglasses, then approached his Tantenya who had begun to stop crying and continued to be accompanied by Mother.

“Tante, who is patient yes,,, “, Naz said while holding both hands of his aunt.

“Nanaz,,,? you are here?”, he asked while a bit of a surprised look.

“Iya Aunty, this morning I came here with Daddy and Bunda”, replied Naz who was surprised to see his tantalizing expression.

“Iya, Na,, he kekeh tea wants to come, happened to have entered school holidays as well, so tea does not interfere with his school schedule, if Mimih later here with Kang Andi and Teh Lisna, he said, afternoon flight said”, Mother spoke

“Tante, Mommy, Naz to Dinda's room first yes, want to change clothes , sultry wear a gini jacket,, “, he said farewell, saying, then went to the room with Dinda by carrying her small suitcase which was previously stored in the living room by her father when she arrived this morning, because there were many people and had not had time to change her luggage.

Naz immediately took a shower and changed clothes with a home shirt, then he collapsed on the bed and was still accompanied by Dinda, “Dinda, earlier who was chatting with Om Aji and whose Dad was it?”, ask Naz pura.

“Which is Mbak?”, asked Dinda confused.

“That tall, handsome, white guy who came before us to the room earlier,, whose path was like that”, Naz mentioned the characteristics of Arfin.

“Oalah,,, that's after all Ma'am,, that's his Boss Daddy in the office, and he also lives around here”, replied Dinda.

“Hah,, stay here? Where?”, Naz asked in surprise.

“That later to the front turn right, straight about 300 meters there is a new house,, well that's his home”, Dinda mentions the road to the house of Arfin.

“New house?? Means just moved what just made?”, asked Naz again.

“Newly built a few months ago Mbak,, if not wrong emmm,, only six months is the move,, last year buy land there directly built a house,,,,, and,,, he said Om Arfin was in addition to having an architect company, said Ayah”.

“Oh... that after all.. He lives alone,,,?”, Naz keeps interrogating.

“Ndak is, there are two domestic assistants living there because the house is quite large, even though only one floor , there is a swimming pool too,,,,, and,,, we are also often taught to play there and even swim, Aliya likes to swim there, there are toys little children too,, Om Arfin in addition to the handsome man is good, like to give pocket money too,,, hehehe, even though Dad said that in the office fierce,,, hihihihi“, said Dinda and giggled.

“Not fierce, firm times.emang so the leader must be firm, let his employees on serious work, hahaa,,,, as I know aja ya euphoria office life,, hihi”, hihi, Naz followed the giggles.

“Emm, I noticed that his face was a bit pale, yes, his eyes were like that, but he was sick again huh?”, Naz kept asking like a newshunter.

“Yes , a few days ago Om Arfin was sick, kept hospitalized and just yesterday came home, so just now abis from the funeral straight home ndak here again”. His words explained, “Ehh, really from earlier Ma'am Nanaz nanyain Om Arfin kept yo,,, fancied yo,,,”, asked Dinda suspiciously.

“Hehehe,, yes yes, no yes, you can't ya”, he said.

“Hmmm , you don't know yet Dinda, if Kak Arfin is my ex-boyfriend,”, Naz murmured in his heart.

“Hahaha, I just say,, Om Arfin is already a handsome man, well, shaleh, hardworking, yes even though the road is like that,, here are also many who have a crush,,,, yes,, dad said in his office there were some beautiful employees who approached him, but Om Arfin likes to be cool with women and ignore them, I also if I have grown up like him, he said, but ,,,”, Dinda's remarks were instantly cut by Naz who was feeling hot.

“Heh,, you are still a child, new also class 2 Junior High, do not need to think of love-love,, think of school lessons aja””, do not think of school, naz said nyolot even though he was still in school already dating.

“Yee,, wong I have not finished talking,,, but unfortunately he already has a girlfriend”, Dinda continued his sentence that had been cut earlier.

“What..?, he already has a girlfriend??”, Naz was again surprised and now his surprise seemed to touch his heart that suddenly hurt.

“Iya, said Mbak Juminten, Om Arfin already has a girlfriend, ayu tenan yang”, said Dinda.

“Hah,, His girlfriend's name is Ayu tenan? Means here dong?”, asked Naz pretended to be calm when his heart was hotss.

“Hahaha,, not Mbak, it's Javanese which means beautiful,, ndak know which person is his”, said Dinda explained.

“Kan I said don't speak Javanese, I don't understand...”, Naz reaffirmed.

“hahahahaha,, yes yes, I forgot”, Dinda laughed.

“Only have you never met?”, asked Naz again.

“So she already has a new boyfriend, which means she has forgotten me and got my replacement, she says she doesn't want to marry anyone but she's dating again,,,,, she says,,, has it become his hobby to play with women's feelings,,,?? Hhhh….Basic sucks,,,!!”, Naz grumbled inwardly while squeezing a pillow.

Dinda's face suddenly turned into a sad “I'm a keinget Mbak Ayu,, he likes photography, until his savings since SD he bought a camera lens that he had long craved,, and,, but unfortunately only yesterday bought, he could not use it,,, huhuhuhuhuhuhu”, Dinda cried again because she remembered her twin sister.

Naz immediately approached and hugged Dinda,” Already Din,, you are patient,, we better send a prayer for the late Ayunda,, let us pray first, let your heart also be calmer, and now it is 1 hour more, yukk will hunt ashar hehehe..”, said Naz who tried to calm his cousin's sister, who tried to calm her, then they also pray alternately because in Dinda's room there is only a pair of mukena only.

After the prayer they went out to eat, because they were hungry, and after that they returned to the room because there were still many guests who came back and forth.

After the Ashar prayer, Dinda asked her eldest brother, Johan to pick up Aliya at Arfin's house because while at the funeral Aliya was taken by Mbak Juminten, her domestic assistant Arfin still did not return. Dinda was willing to carry out the orders of her brother and invited Naz, of course, the dipper immediately greeted, although initially Naz refused because he did not want to show himself in front of Arfin. Especially after Dinda said that Arfin already had a girlfriend. But it seems like Naz's curiosity becomes more, in addition to being curious about Arfin's illness he is also curious about Arfin's new girlfriend.

They left on foot, tense and stubborn feeling began to be felt Naz, his steps felt heavier as he got closer to the house intended Dinda. Sweat began to pour, either because the air there is hot or because of excessive nervousness, must be right until he will look for a toilet.

When they arrived at the iron gate which was about 2.5 meters high, Dinda who was used to go there and opened the fence and entered the courtyard of Arfin's house. Naz looked in front of his house as if he recognized his form.

While at the door, Dinda immediately pressed the bell,, ting nong,, ting nong,,,, before long anyone opened the door.

“Eh, Dinda, arep hit Aliya yo?”, said Mbak Juminten who already knows the purpose of Dinda's arrival, who,

“Wahh, mbake ayu ngene tho jebule”, he said when he saw Naz.

“Eh , Dinda, want jmput Aliya yes?”,,,,,“Wah Mbak is beautiful once it turns”.

“Iyo must be ayu lah, iki sedulurku seko Jakarta, Aliya neng ndi yo, Mbak Jum?”, said Dinda proudly and then asked the whereabouts of her youngest sister.

“Iya must be beautiful, this is my cousin from Jakarta, Aliya where ya Mbak Jum?”.

“Mau bar tangi turu njaluk dolan neng cedak swimming pool, saiki gek buoyed karo Retno,,, uh, let's ndang mlebu”, replied Mbak Juminten.

“So after waking up ask for mai near the pool, now again bathed in the same Retno.. Uh let's go in”.

“Nggeh, mature Mbak Jum”, said Dinda.

“Yes, thanks Mbak Jum”.

“Yassalam,, urang asa so jalma gebloh ngadangukeun chat maranehna da,, ngan kur can olohok we bari ngacay, hokcay”, yuu, gerutu Naz who had not understood what the two people were talking about.

“Yassalsm,, I'm like a bego person ya denger their conversation, just can gawk while drooling doang,, hokcay” .

“Mbak said what is it?,, Ayok mbak,, we enter,,,”, Tanya Dinda was confused, then invited her in together.

“You also spoke Javanese language that I do not understand,, yaudah I also spoke Sundanese,,,”, he said in a slightly upset tone.

“Hahaha Mbak Jum speaks only Indonesian, sedulurku iki ora mudeng,,,” he chuckles while stepping inside,” oh yes Mbak Jum,, Om Arfin where anyway, ndak looks?”, ask Dinda.

“Den Arfin was at noon to the bank mengurusin his ATM that is swallowed, until now also not back,, maybe soon home. please sit down, Mbak Jum to the kitchen first, that's again fried fish, later all take drink”. Mbak Juminten also speaks Indonesian even with a medok tone.

Naz and Dinda were sitting in a chair where the living room had a larger size than the living room of the Mother's house. Naz circulated a look paying attention to the details of the room. “Dinda,, the living room is quite large yes, until there are two sets of gini guest chairs,,,”, said Naz.

“Iyo Mbak,, the middle space is also quite large, he said for family gatherings, here there are also five rooms,, even that the pool is also partly deep and partly shallow for small children, he said, equipped with slides and there are small children's toys also”, Dinda explained about some of the things of the house.

Naz paused for a moment as if thinking of something, suddenly a scream was heard.

”Aliya,,, aliyaa,,,”, shouted a woman. Then Mbak Juminten ran into the living room.

“Dinda,, kae Aliya even mlyayu neng njobo, ndang ditutke ojo cedak-cedak on the edge of the pool mbokan kecebur, then he went back to the kitchen and Dinda got up from her seat.

“Dinda,, that's Aliya instead run to the side yard, let's chase her fear near the pool afraid of chasing,,, Mbak Jum again cook afraid of charred".

“What's up?”, asked Naz confused.

“Mbak, that's Aliya running to the side yard, afraid of falling into the pool, let's go we catch a wayward child who can not be silent it”, he asked, then they both went to the side yard. Because they were walking half-running, when near the swimming pool Naz was accidentally blocked until he fell.

Thumped,,,”Aduh,, my leg hurts,,,”, Naz grimaces in pain while Dinda chases Aliya who keeps running around, “It looks like my leg sprained in”, , naz said then he tried to stand with difficulty, because his right leg was painful and both palms were dirty hit by the ground. He stepped in little by little by dragging his aching foot closer to the pool to wash his dirty hands. He crouched down on the edge of the pool, then he took water with both palms to wash his hands.

Darr.,,, Aliya surprises Naz by touching Naz's back and makes him shocked to lose his balance,

jeburrr,,,, Naz fell into the pool,,, bleubeuk,,bleubeuk,,,

“Mbak Nanaz,, “, Dinda catches Aliya, then shouts to see Naz splashing into the deep pool and sinking ,”Please,,, please,,,, Mbak Jum, Dinda yelled, before long Mbak Jum and Mbak Retno sprung up.

Jeburrr,,, someone went into the pool to help Naz, and then he swam to bring Naz ashore by raising him to the edge of the pool with the help of Mbak Jum and Mbak Retno, then Naz was laid to rest because he was unconscious. The man immediately went up, then sat down next to Naz .

“Naz,,, Naz,, wake Naz,,,”, he said in a panic while clapping nepok pii Naz, then did the first aid of CPR by pressing Naz's chest. After several times doing that Naz never realized, finally because he was very panicked and worried he gave help breathing. He lifted Naz's chin, pushed his forehead, then opened Naz's mouth and punched Naz's nose with both of the man's fingers, then he stuck his mouth on Naz's mouth that had been opened to give artificial breath. Mbak Jum and Mbak Retno who stood between Dinda and Aliya, closed the eyes of the two children so as not to see the scene onoh.

Uhuk,,, uhuk,, finally Naz realized and he vomited water that had been swallowed by him when he drowned earlier,, that person could breathe a sigh of relief, then smile to see Naz realized.

Naz looked at the person who had helped and saved his life, “Kak Arfin,,, “, he said in a limp tone, then he touched his lips and immediately glared as if his consciousness had returned 100% even as consciously as possible, “What,,,? just now he kissed me,, right,,,? how dare he kiss me after I became his ex-girlfriend,,, my lips are not virgin anymore.”, he murmured in his heart,

“Bundaaaa…..!!! “, Naz yells then loses consciousness again and lies unconscious.

Dinda and Arfin look panicked when Naz returns unconscious, for fear of anything happening with him.

Another case with his two domestic assistants Arfin, stepped closer to each other and whispered to each other.

“Mbake,, Ketoke installer maneh”, Retno whispered.

“Mbake, I think you want to be kissed again”.

“Iyo, ketoke kesengen in kui, hihi”, Mbak Juminten also replied to Mbak Retno's whisper, then both laughed giggling.

“Iya, I think addictive kissed it, hhihi”.
