Naz, You're Right - My Girl Troublemaker

Arfin POVs

Flashbacks

I noticed the field land is quite wide if it is to be used as some classrooms that are more suitable for learning and teaching. I ventured to inquire about the field land to the local RT, and it turned out that it was a land grant from someone for the public interest. I asked for the address of the landowner, and with great difficulty he finally wanted to give it. Without thinking long I met the owner and forced him to buy, of course he refused because he had given the land. After persuading him several times he finally agreed to sell it and the proceeds of the sale he intended to donate it for the construction of the mosque.

That day after the meeting at the office I picked up my phone that I left behind because it was on the charger in my room, when I opened there were several calls there, and one of them was a call from Naz, and one of them was, when I was about to call Naz, there was a call coming in.

“Hallo, assalamualaikum Pak Al ”, Male voice across there.

“Wa'laikunmsalam,, what's the matter Mr Hasan, is there a problem in the project?”, Tanyaku.

“The project is safely under control sir, just that there was someone looking for Mr. Al here”, Mr. Hasan gave another report apparently.

“Who Sir ?”, Tanyaku wonder.

“That's sir the girl who was with the three little kids who collided with us on the project, Ah yes Sir, sir, I remember that he introduced himself as Rheanazwa if it was not wrong Pak”, Mr. Hasan explained.

“Naz, what's he doing there sir? ”, I'm surprised to hear that.

“I do not know sir, just that he was looking for Mr. Al here while crying like a confused person, about two hours ago Pak”.

“Naz, cry”.Mumbles.

When I heard that I hung up the phone and rushed out of the office to look for Naz. I was really worried about him, what was with him until he cried and was confused like that. I kept trying to contact Naz, but the number was off, I called back many times, but the result was the same. I drove my car worriedly.

”What happened to him, did anyone hurt him again, did anyone do evil to him” Negative thoughts continue to fill otaku. Especially when my car stopped at a red light, it felt like I wanted to destroy the traffic light that had disrupted my trip. Time seemed to slow down while my feelings were filled with worry thinking about the state of Naz that even I did not know where he was.

“Relax Arfin, calm yourself” said I tried to calm myself, suddenly I remembered to contact Mother. Turns out Mommy said that Naz went to the study terrace and still hasn't come home. Finally I had a destination to look for Naz, after a while I got there, I got out of the car and walked quickly despite limping. My heart felt sliced to see him alone on the porch learning to sit down hugging his legs with his sobs. I walked up slowly and sat down before him, seemingly unaware of my presence

”Naz” I said with breath still panting.

He raised his head and looked towards me “Kak Arfin, hiks” Turns out he was still crying, his face was puffy and his eyes started to swell. My God, it's been two hours since she cried alone here. My chest feels crowded, why did my phone have to run out of all batteries, otherwise I have come since.

“You why Naz, is there something evilin you” I'm worried about.

“There are , if there is something evilin me, I just beat up aja” Naz replied in between his cries. I also felt a little calm hearing the answer, especially the more spoken he was more slanting even talking about the land and I even answered ngasal to melt the atmosphere. Because the sound of Naz's stomach was rumbling and I had not had time to eat lunch after the meeting, we also went to eat to a cafe. Learning from past events, I asked Naz to call Mother if he came home late to go with me using my phone because Naz's phone ran out of battery, while I went to the toilet.

When I came back Naz was shocked to show and question the video of Mr. Haris's open apology on my phone, and I explained it. I thought he would be mad at me for meddling in his affairs, but instead he thanked me and held both my hands. The touch was like an electric shock that propagated and accelerated the pounding of my heart, our eyes looked at each other for a while. Could he feel the same feeling as me?.

After eating Naz told him why he was crying, and it turned out that I was the one who caused him to cry, Oh my God what I did. He was sad because someone bought the field land and the study terrace land, when I told me the person he was angry with me, turned himself away from me, he said, but after I explained everything he was so happy that he hugged me tightly and was very difficult to release, I really felt it was not bad until my forehead continued to pour sweat, and I finally let go of his embrace.

Naz suddenly received a call from someone and he immediately left, I did not let him go by himself force to drive him. Naz pointed the way to his destination and I just didn't ask much because he looked very worried. When Naz got out of the car and came back with a boy and walked with a girl, Naz asked me to take him to a nearby hospital. After the child received first aid, he was transferred to the hospital room, and then a mother came to the room and talked to Naz and forced Naz to go home.

While in the hospital I did not ask anything even though there were actually so many that I wanted to ask, until the time on my way home

he asked, and it turned out that the mother was Naz's real mother. He looked sad and I took the initiative to take him to the night market that I accidentally saw on the way home, we also had fun there.

Naz slowly began to tell her past which turned out to be so sad and so stifling, I could no longer hear it and saw Naz continue to cry, she said, I approached him I hugged him I rubbed his head to calm him down. Stupidly I took her to the night market place to cheer her up but at the end of the day she ended up crying. But at least it can lighten the burden that he has been damning all this time.

Since then I have been more agile to approach him, although the intensity of the meeting is very rare, I always contact him every night on the grounds of discussing the construction of a learning terrace school. Although the construction has ended but we still always communicate, as if this became a habit for us, not even Naz will contact me first if he has finished studying or even doing his schoolwork. Well this is how if the pedekate is the same child OSIS.

Today I fulfilled an invitation from Mr. Haris to attend a 3rd class Farewell event at High School, because in the office was free I decided to attend, he said, and of course I will meet my girl after almost a month of not meeting. I went to the office first and about 10 o'clock I just arrived at the High School Hall where the event took place. I sat in the guest room.

“Ar, you are here too” Hardi greeted me.

“Iya, just nyampe me, there was business first all to take my car in the office, oh yes, our departure anyone who came” Tanyaku who saw Hardi only alone.

“Sama Nervan doang I here, do not know deh others”, he replied.

“Where is the person, invisible?”, I'm looking for the person's whereabouts.

“Say he wants to go to the toilet, but for a long time, like again wash your eyes see the clear-clear”, Hardi knows exactly the behavior of the striped man.

" Hey you guys are here too.How are you? Where Dandy Nervan usually you four friends like together", Elina our classmate came to say hello.

"Good news El" I answered briefly.

"El Doctor Dandy's habit is many more patients, while Nervan again wash clear nyari eyes" Hardi answered the presence of the other two personnel.

“ Wah already entered the announcement session of outstanding students, I want to go ahead first yes want to take photos”. Elina turned out to be the photographer the committee hired to document this event.

Suddenly the name Rheanazwa was called to the stage, I immediately looked towards the stage. It turned out that the girl I missed getting the award as an outstanding student became a general champion in the 1st grade, I smiled proudly looking at her. After receiving the award and the trophy she showed a happy smile. I kept watching him until he got off the stage and was greeted by his three best friends, but soon his smile was gone, a sad look on his face, then after hearing the announcement of all the students entering their respective classes to be distributed a report, he was seen walking with a shunt.

My phone shook and I left Hardi, when I took the phone out of my pants pocket there was an incoming call from my secretary, I came out of the hall to receive a call on my phone and it turned out that he told me there was an impromptu meeting at one noon, which was annoying when I wanted to see Naz. When the call ended I opened whatsapp application want to see the status of Naz, it turns out that what I saw was even the status of Mother who uploaded a photo of Naz with the caption congratulations and apologies for not being able to attend. I congratulated Mother and asked the cause of her absence, it turns out her mother in Bandung was sick and her father Naz suddenly had an operation.

Now that I know the cause of Naz's facial changes, I finally decided to find his class, Naz asked one of the teachers and he was willing to take me to class 1A. and sure enough I saw Naz sitting in his chair with his head down, while the others were mothers as parents of students. I knocked on the door and said I was the representative of Naz's parents, and was welcome to enter. Naz who was still surprised to see me gave his seat to me and I could only give my sweetest smile to the girl I missed so much.

After the report split I went out with Naz and said good-bye to him and rubbed his head, then his three best friends came and even teased us, plus the arrival of the teacher who was in Naz's class invited me to meet, I saw Naz looked upset. Could it be that he was jealous, did that mean he had feelings for me, but because there was a mobile phone vibration in my pants pocket with a heavy heart made me have to say goodbye to leaving them, he said, because I'm sure it's a call from my secretary.

While in the office I received a message from Naz asking me where I was and why I was able to come to his class and I explained it, but when the last message he sent a message “I love you much more” accompanied by an emoticon kiss, I was really surprised to read it, I rubbed my eyes afraid I was misread, I was wrong, but it turned out to be a true message from Naz.

“Did he express his feelings to me" I muttered inwardly, I felt like a coward who could only hold my feelings in check while he expressed them to me, as I was about to reply to his message, my secretary has already called that the client has arrived and the meeting is about to begin. Throughout the course of the meeting I was like an insane person continuing to smile on my own until I was warned several times by my secretary for not concentrating. The meeting that lasted two hours was like a year it was a long time ago, and finally it was over as well, I can't wait to contact Naz immediately.

I went back to my room and immediately opened my phone, but I was confused as to what to do, send him a message or call him or how, god, I'm really like a fool and I'm not clear. All these new ages this time I feel in love really tacky. I re-opened the message Naz sent, I kept reading it over and over again, wanting to feel like I replied to “ I love you too Naz, I love you more than anything, too, even more than myself”. But what power I do not have that much courage, my fingers suddenly feel stiff, suddenly can not type anything on my phone and can only type ambiguous words.

I

“What? “

“What Naz?”

“Means?”

“Naz?”

“That means what?”

Naz

“What does it mean, Brother? I don't understand.

When I read the reply to the message from Naz, I became wondering “why he even asked back, whether he was not aware of the message he sent earlier, he said, or was it a prank message sent by his friend from Naz's phone, or was it intended for someone else” Various questions came to my mind, I took a deep breath to stabilize my emotions and calm my mind.

I

“Try you look up read chat from you deh”.

After that there was no answer from Naz, I really did not understand exactly what was going on, did I misunderstand, until I continued to read the message of love repeatedly. I kept waiting for a reply from Naz but never came, I was really nervous not because, pacing back and forth indistinctly while staring at the screen of my phone, before my sanity was completely lost, I decided to call Naz. The first call was connected but never got an answer, the second call was the same, and the third call when the dialing tone was about to end, he picked up the phone. Finally ,,,,, hufh relieved it felt.

His voice sounded nervous, no matter what he was feeling, was the same as I felt. But when I asked him about the message it turned out he apologized and said it was a misdelivered message, my mind had started to go where I thought Naz liked another man, he loved the man so much because it read from his love speech, my heart immediately decayed, I plucked my body into the floor sitting limp as if my world collapsed, the girl I loved turned out to love another man. I tried in vain to approach her all this time, but I was very confident to fight for her, Naz,, my girl, whether there was no place for me in your heart.

“Halo, Halo Kak Arfin”, Naz's voice broke my daydream, and reminded me that the phone connection is not over.

“Eh, yes Naz sorry, Emm if you can know who it was intended for?” I dare to ask him.

“It was, last time I was chatting with Kaka, suddenly Mother sent me a message of congratulations and when I would reply Ruby asked me to chat, when I re-opened the chat I typed and immediately sent it and did not check it back, and it turned out that it was sent to Kak Arfin, ma sorry yes Kak, I'm really sorry for sending such a disrespectful message”. The answer really gave me a breath of fresh air.

“Oh, yes it's okay Naz, sorry also yes it has disrupted your time, I closed the phone first yes,,,,assalamualaikum”. I hung up after hearing him answer my greetings. I felt ashamed of myself, but now that I'm really glad that my prejudice was wrong, Naz sent it to his mother, not to another man. Although it was a misdelivered message yet it was able to make me soar flying above the clouds.

Naz, you really are my troublemaking girl.
