Chapter 35
"You... I... you... How can you be here?" Riko nodded as he got out of bed.
"There's something important" replied Nia who was standing outside the room door. "Can we just talk outside, Riko?" nia Pinta.
Riko nodded. "Wait for me, yes" said Riko.
"I wait downstairs, the living room," replied Nia. "Hurry up, Riko, I'm in a hurry."
"I-iya," Riko nodded.
Nia turned around and walked down the stairs to the 2nd floor. He walked again towards the living room and sat on the sofa feeling uneasy. Mother at home must be waiting for my return, Inner Nia.
The sound of the feet coming down the stairs. Riko immediately appeared at the end of the stairs. He had changed his singlet shirt earlier with a tee shirt to make it look more polite.
"What's the matter Nia?" Riko walked up to Nia and sat on the sofa as well, in front of Nia.
"I want to ask you to buy my phone, Riko," replied Nia directly. He can not beat around the bush or waste time because his mother at home can not be left for long.
"the HP? Meanin?" Riko frowned.
"I need money, Riko," said Nia bluntly. "My mother's pain is getting worse, so I plan to take her to a specialist in the hospital" Nia explained
"Oh, you mean.. Are you short on medical expenses?" guess Riko.
Nia bit her lip, "Yes," she replied honestly.
"Where's your phone, Nia?" ask Riko.
"Here," Nia thrust out the hp in her hand. Hp Ardian gift 3 years ago which today he was forced to sell for more important things.
Riko receives the phone Nia thrust into her presence. Look at it for a minute. The screen is still good, the casing is also still smooth. It seems that Nia is a very smart person caring for objects until it still looks new.
"Hp's buy time is 2.5 million, Riko. I bought my friend who was in Medan when we went to the mall," explained Nia.
"How much do you want to sell?" riko asked while turning on the phone. A dozen seconds later appeared various kinds of applications on the screen hp. Riko took a quick look and touched and also swiped the screen with her finger.
"How much do you want to buy?" nia said while gulping. He did not know how much the price of used cellphone he wanted to sell it.
Actually, Riko never bought a used hp. Hp is already there 3 and it's the latest output from famous brands are also expensive. He doesn't like used or used phones at all.
But for the sake of the girl in front of him, Riko said, "I bought 2.4 million just huh. Cut a hundred grand."
Nia widened her eyes. Is it true that the used phone in Riko's hand is worth that? Means not much loss even though it has been used for 3 years, thought Nia innocent.
Actually, used phones that have been released as long as offered by Nia if sold at most 1 million. Riko clearly knows that because every working day buy hp and fiddle with hp. However, Nia did not know and thought that it was the price.
"Do you really want to buy that price?" ask Nia. A glimpse of his mother who received treatment in the hospital, in the hands of a specialist. How relieved Nia's heart was to imagine that.
Riko nodded with a smile, "Yes, Nia," he replied.
He saw the relieved and happy face of the girl sitting in front of him. There was nothing happier than seeing the girl show a relieved face and smiling. It was as if he had just escaped the heavy burden that had been pressing on him for so long.
"You're not sorry, Riko, buy my phone for that price?" Nia ensure.
Riko shook her head. "If there are still 2 in your house I buy," he replied seriously.
"Hahaha," Nia was unable to help but laugh. "Where is the phone in my house, Riko. This is my only phone. I had to sell it for my mother's treatment" Nia honestly said.
"Yes, wait a minute, I'll get the money in my room" said Riko.
Nia nodded with a face that showed relief.
Riko walked up the stairs to the 3rd floor. He entered his bedroom and removed his wallet from the desk drawer. The wallet was full of a hundred thousand dollars. There are a lot of ATM cards inside. Finally, on one side of the wallet was tucked a photo of Nia smiling from a distance of several meters. Photo Nia wearing a sports school uniform while looking at a basketball basket.
Riko took a picture of Nia secretly during her Sports lessons at school 5 years ago. Nia was watching the basketball basket that was the target of the basketball pedestal that the students entered. Therefore he was unconscious when Riko photographed him secretly using an android phone.
It's been 5 years that Nia's photo was stored in her wallet after washing it in a copy shop. In times of longing, especially when Nia in Medan lecture, Riko often looked at the photo.
Riko often took the photo out of her purse, held it, stared at it, and held it until she fell asleep in a dream-covered bed. Hoping to someday be able to meet the girl in the photo in the real world and express her feelings of love that has been pent up for so long.
Nia looked at Riko's arrival from the end of the stairs while her hand held a hundred thousand dollars. Never had Nia felt that happy before seeing the name money. Even though while in Medan with Ardian, Nia had often seen Ardian spend money jibbling to shop for clothes, pants, shoes, bags, hp, hp, and others when they walk to the mall or shopping center. Every time it was just a normal feeling. Just feel sorry Ardian wasted a lot of money to buy all that according to Nia is very expensive. Even his feelings when bought Ardian many expensive clothes were not as relaxed or as happy now, when Riko paid his used cellphone to finance his mother's treatment.
"Thank you, Riko, you are my helper god," Nia said with teary eyes. He almost shed tears when he received the 2.4 million money from Riko's hands.
"Yes, Nia. Quickly bring your mother to medicine. Find the best specialist. Don't feel sorry for paying doctor's fees or buying expensive drugs. If there is less, you do not need to sell hp anymore or other items yours. Just come to me, I'll help you" Riko said.
Riko's words were like a promise, Nia felt like a morning dew that was very soothing. No longer able to hold back the turmoil in his heart until he also shed tears. "Yes, Riko," said Nia.
