When Love Should Choose

Season 2-Nia Looking for Riko

Chapter 34

Bu Rani's disease is not cured. Coughing, weak body, and sometimes shortness of breath.

Nia plans to bring her mother back for treatment today because the monthly medication her mother has been taking for half a year is up, while there are no signs of recovery.

Seeing her mother's declining health condition, Nia plans to take her mother to a specialist in the hospital. How to know by replacing other more expensive drugs or other doctors who specialize can give maximum results.

But Nia was confused again. Since this afternoon after taking care of her mother, Nia sat on the dining chair while thinking hard. Where should he get money for medical treatment to the hospital? While their savings are little. Just enough for daily needs, it will run out soon.

Nia almost cried thinking about all this. Wanted him to ease the pain his mother suffered but was helpless.

In the future, how else would he and his mother have to move on?

In a confused state he suddenly remembered something. Isn't in the drawer of his closet there is still one android phone that is not used again since a month ago? Yes, the phone that Ardian bought when Nia just arrived in the city of Medan three years ago. As they were walking to the mall, Ardian bought him that phone.

Hp was indeed brought along when he returned to Tanjungbalai half a year ago, and often used to chat with Ardian in WA or receive the call of the man. But two months ago the phone was no longer working for him because Ardian never again contacted him until tired he waited one month, the next month he dumped it into the closet drawer. Never to be touched again.

Yes, because it is no longer useful for him, what is wrong with selling it for his mother's medical expenses and the rest can be to add to the cost of daily living needs.

Thinking so, Nia headed straight for the bedroom. He opened the door slowly because his mother was napping inside.

Nia opened her closet and the drawer was in the closet. His heart was relieved when the android phone costing 2 million was in his grasp. What can be made, this phone must be sold because there is more important than this phone, namely the health of his mother and daily needs.

As Nia was grasping the phone, Bu Rani woke up and looked at her daughter. "There's a call from Nak Ardian, Nia?" he asked when he saw Nia holding the phone. At one time, his daughter had never held a cellphone again for a month.

"Ng.ng..nope, ma'am," replied Nia. " Nia's going out for a minute, Mom. There's something important Nia has to do."

"What's important, Nia?" ask mother.

Nia bit her lips, hesitatingly replied. Does she have to let her mother know that she has to sell Ardian's gift for the cost of her mother's treatment to the hospital? And the rest to add to the almost exhausted savings?

"Yes go," said Bu Rani after seeing her daughter hesitantly reply.

"Awhile, Mom. Nia will be back soon," he said.

Bu Rani nodded

With hasty footsteps Nia walked out of the room and towards the exit. He walked along the alley to get to the front of the highway. The goal is Riko's house which is taxed, because the guy is the only one he thinks of at this time.

Nia walked on for some distance until she arrived at the tax. Diberankannya himself into the store owned by Riko's parents. Now he is not a buyer, but a seller who will offer used mobile phones to the people in the house.

"Good day, ma'am," Nia said while inside the tavern.

Riko's mother who was waiting for the store looked at Nia who had just entered her shop.

"Today Nia didn't buy anything, Mom. Nia wants to find Riko. The Riko is there, ma'am?" ask Nia politely.

"Oh, want to find Riko? Yes, there, you just go inside and go up to the 2nd floor, usually he's in the living room watching TV or playing."

Nia gulped, disinclined that she had entered people's homes. He just wanted to ask Riko to be called down to see him. But because she had been told to go in and go up to the 2nd floor, Nia nodded her head politely, "Yes, Mom," she said.

Riko's mother did not have time to serve Nia further because soon came 2-3 buyers who entered the store and asked to be taken this. He was busy serving the buyers.

Nia stepped into the room in the grocery store, then climbed to the 2nd floor.

Arriving there, he did not find Riko in the living room as his mother said. Riko's house was very quiet. It seems Riko is an only child like her. His father was not seen, maybe he was out of the house buying goods or delivering goods, thought Nia.

"Richo... Riko...," Nia called out as she spread her gaze around the living room and dining room. There's nobody there. Nia's getting restless. Where is Riko?

Nia faintly heard the sound of music quite loud on the 3rd floor. Is Riko there? thought.

Given that the time can no longer be wasted because he had said to his mother soon to return, Nia also made up her determination and courage to go up to the 3rd floor looking for Riko.

When he arrived at the top, again did not find Riko there. Only the sound of music was getting clearer from inside a room.

Oh, is Riko in the room? think Nia.

Even though his heart was a bit shrivelled to be in someone else's house alone, but his determination to immediately sell hp to Riko and after that rushed home made him dare to walk closer to the room of origin of the loud music sound.

"Riko...! Riko...! Riko...!" Nia called out and knocked on the door of the room with a restless feeling in her heart.

Because the door was not opened, perhaps because of the loud music until no call was heard, Nia touched the door handle, pressed it down and pushed it inside. Turns out the door wasn't locked.

Nia widened her eyes. In front of him, there was an atmosphere in the bedroom that was in a mess. Pillow roll mess bed sheet blanket. Clothes were hung and thrown here and there. Not to mention the upturned chairs and tables placed carelessly. Then the shelves with dusty books were placed carelessly and piled up scattered. Not at all neat!

As soon as the door was opened from the outside, the person who was lying in bed holding a gadget, turned his head and jumped spontaneously.

"Nia?!" exclaiming Riko was not surprised to be visited by Nia like that.

Riko's face reddened with embarrassment due to the atmosphere of her room that was so messy plus her who only wears a singlet with ponggol pants.

"Yes, Riko," replied Nia.
