Nirmala's Search

Kevin preceded Nirmala to speak, he did not give Nirmala a chance to say the words he wanted to say through his mouth.

"Sorry Buk, your daughter fainted at the market. And I took her to the Medika clinic. She was unconscious for a long time. So I waited for her to wake up." Obviously Kevin.

"Are you sick again Nirmala?" Asked Aunt Asih she took her temperature with the palm of her hand.

"You still have a fever Nirmala," said Aunt Asih very worried about Nirmala's condition these days.

"Yes, thump, actually he can't go home yet. But he just wants to go home. So now I'm taking him home," Kevin explained again.

"Thank you, Kevin," said Aunt Asih.

"Mom, don't let your child work first. Since I can see that he's not well yet, let him rest first," Kevin said

"Yes son, I also didn't know he was so stubborn. I told him to rest, but he never listened to me!" It was clear that Aunt Asih had a straight face.

"Your aunt told you too, that you are stubborn!" Kevin cursed not tired of talking like that from earlier.

"Please come in son!" Aunt Asih ordered Kevin who was standing there still holding Nirmala's old bicycle which had no pedestal.

"No need, Bi, it's late. I just want to go home," said Kevin, refusing Aunt Asih's invitation.

"Well, it's up to you, thank you again, son, for helping Nirmala," said Aunt Asih repeatedly.

Kevin nodded and said goodbye.

Nirmala accidentally smiled to herself looking at Kevin, and Kevin looked at her in a daze

"Why is that girl smiling to herself. It's so scary," Kevin muttered to himself.

From a distance, two of Andre Winata's father's men reported Kevin's activities all day. Andra smiled seeing his son's progress. He didn't expect Kevin to have such a noble heart. Two had changed a lot after leaving the house.

Kevin returned to his boarding house, he immediately laid his body on the mattress in the room.

"It's really hot this afternoon," Kevin said and stood up again turning on the fan but unfortunately the fan in the room was broken.

"Shit, tonight I can't be sure I can't sleep,"

Kevin exited the room and pulled the towel from the hanger behind the door. Then put it on his shoulder to the bathroom to clean his body.

When finished, he tried to disassemble the fan and fix it with makeshift equipment he managed to make the fan spin again. Closed again.

Again he lay down on the bed. There was a boarding house neighbor who stopped by his room.

"Afternoon bro!" Greet Bagas suddenly and lie down there too.

"Evening too, tumbenan at the boarding house? Not out this Sunday?" Kevin asked looking up at the ceiling of the white room pavlon.

"Tired bro! I've been lying in my room all day. It's like the kids are quiet on holiday. What are they doing overtime?" Bagas replied with a deep breath.

"Hah, let it be. On Sundays, maybe a lot of people go out with their girls," Kevin continued, suddenly his thoughts went to Nirmala's annoying face. There was nothing in his nature that attracted him.

"Then you don't go out with your girl?"

"Who? Me? I don't have a girl bro! Meet your friends or someone like that, bro!" Kevin said jokingly.

"Hah, I'm single myself, looking for you bro!" Bagas answered and Kevin laughed out loud.

"Hahaha. I'm not busy looking for girls. I'm busy looking for money first. To live my life. It's hard to just eat what else to find a girlfriend, Ha ha ha," replied Kevin laughing until he coughed.

"Oh yes, this afternoon there was a girl who usually came here. She was looking for you, I just answered that you were out."

"Who?" Kevin asked until he woke up from his sleep.

"Yes, the girl who was here two days ago if I'm not mistaken," said Bagas, remembering the girl.

"Hmm, he must have been the one who got mad at Nirmala. That's really a child." Kevin muttered under his breath. I hate it even more when he sees her again.

"Is that your girl?" Ask Bagas suddenly

"No, he only knew me when I was at the shop where I was," replied Kevin, not wanting to slander himself with the obscure girl.

"Just make it a girl. Looks like he likes you!"

Eh, you just take it there! Not my type, a model like ondel-ondel like that!" Kevin couldn't believe that Bagas could match him with him.

"Issh.. don't say that. At first, hate turns into love!"

Kevin thinks about Nirmala, whom he hates, what if he meets her again that feeling will turn into love. Kevin smiled to himself again thinking about it. As he saw it, he thought he was smiling at the thought of the woman he was talking about earlier.

"Woyy daydreaming right. You must be thinking about him!" Terk Bagas by pointing at Kevin's cheek, which had not fixed the position of his bulging lips.

"Ehh wrong. I'm no longer thinking about the woman earlier. I'm thinking about the woman I've met a few times."

"Who's Bro?"

"Her name is a cute girl"

"How can it bother you to think?" Bagas asked curious about Kevin's next story.

"Every time we meet, we have a big fight. Until I get annoyed with myself. There's never anything sweet to talk to him about. How come there are women like that?" Obviously Kevin is still confused with Nirmala.

"Watch out your hate becomes love," said Bagas reminded.

"I don't know, if we keep fighting can we make peace during our courtship?"

"Hahaha. Not to mention if you're married, fighting often isn't good either,"

"Well, that's what I was afraid of," replied Kevin realizing that.

"But it's not always people who model like that according to their true nature," Bagas added.

"Hmmm.. never mind, don't talk about women. It's just that women are usually a hassle," Kevin said in the end.

"Yeah, don't say that. If we don't have women, our life is meaningless," said Bagas giggling. Kevin laughed back.

"Okay bro, I want to find something to eat. You're not eating too?" Ask Bagas.

"Yeah, I forgot to not eat since morning," Kevin remembered from meeting Nirmala in the morning.

"That girl hasn't eaten all day," he muttered to himself.

The two of them went out together looking for their tummy tuck.

As usual in the afternoon there was a meatball seller who passed by, the seller stopped there, because the two men were blocking him.

At that time there were two people who parked their car to the side, and got down as if he wanted to ask something. By bringing a cell phone ready to ask them.

"Excuse me sir, want to ask!" First he said to both of them.

"Yes, please!" Bagas replied, at that time it was Bagas who was shown the photo.

"Do you know or have you seen the woman in this photo?" asked a young man his age with a man with him.

"Sorry, bro, I don't know and I've never seen the woman in the photo, sorry, bro," answered Bagas
