Axcel had just returned to his city Sunday afternoon, and would fly straight to Germany tonight. He comes home only to find Nanda, say goodbye, and says his good intentions are marrying Nanda after his S2 is over.
At least, his former lecturer would not doubt him again after this. She had no intention of playing with her relationship with Nanda. Maybe because Nanda was just put in the house so Mr. Nuga was a little protective and misunderstood. But right here, Axcel's the wrong one actually.
The gate was tightly closed, the house looked deserted. Axcel was a bit hesitant when he tapped on the circle-shaped iron hanging there.
Axcel rushes to get his phone and calls Nanda. From the airport to here, he did not contact Nanda. Where is that girl? Sundays are always at home and playing with Hima. Axcel memorized Nanda's activities every day, and it seemed boring.
No answer, only a connecting tone is heard. Axcel clucked violently as he turned his body facing the street where the taxi had just left him.
Rushing Axcel sent Nanda a text message, which unfortunately only symbolized the gray one tick.
"Where the hell, Nda you?" axcel Mumbles.
Axcel took a breath and finally knocked on the turnstile with a heart-crazing thump. It's like going to a thesis exam, he thought. Or when Nuga viciously gives a rough and original scribble on the sheet that Axcel thrust into Nuga's face.
"Yes, just a minute." A loud voice rang out from within, and before long the gate opened. "Oh, Mr. Nuga is inside."
Axcel had not even said anything, but the woman had opened the door wide, letting Axcel in.
"Let me call Mr. Nuganya, Mas." Nur walks ahead of Axcel into the house. "Please wait while sitting down, Mom."
Nur pointed at the chair on the porch of the house, while continuing to step inside.
Axcel originally wanted to interrupt Nur's steps, just saying that he was looking for Nanda, but this is Nuga's house, it's only natural that he should meet the owner of the house first before meeting Nanda.
The new Axcel was about to drop his buttocks onto the wooden chair Nur pointed at when Nuga appeared with his gloomy face. The man was wearing a red brick shirt, which fit slightly on his body which was quite athletic.
"Pak—"
"Nanda came home and got married today." Nuga is upset to see the face of a former student who used to be his golden son. I don't know why he wanted to punch Axcel in the face which he thought was innocent.
"What?!" Axcel was now standing with a cold hot shaking body. "Mother, don't joke!"
"Ask my maid or Tasya, if you don't believe me!" Nuga insists that joking with Axcel is a waste of time. There's no point in joking about that, right? He was busy persuading Hima who wanted his Nda to return here today as well. Crazy is this world. Why would Hima be so naughty just because Nanda said she wanted to get married?
"Sir, but Nanda's my girlfriend! Can't it be that I'm married while I'm here?" Axcel obviously couldn't accept the reason for making this man up. That's an ancient trick that won't dampen Axcel's intention to propose to Nanda.
"Absolutely, the only man in the world is you? Nanda can be anyone, right? She's just your girlfriend, not your wife! Who guarantees that he will be faithful to you? That's why I said you guys are stupid, who's dating, who's married? You fooled Nanda!"
"Rpa ... Nanda can't be rich. Nanda is a good woman, Father don't make up—"
Nuga smiled cynically, between the pleasure of seeing Axcel languish like that and upset because of the man's ngeyel attitude. "Pronounce it on reality, Axcel! I don't have time to make excuses just so you guys break up! It's up to you not to believe!"
Axcel slowly wavered as Nuga made his hand on his chest. Nuga is not a person who likes pleasantries or idioms. It's not Nuga's character to make people give up in dirty cheating ways. There were many loopholes of truth that Nuga had to make Axcel retreat, without making such a disgusting excuse now.
"Yeah ...."
Axcel turned to the door where Hima was hugging the doll with red eyes. Nuga was also surprised to see Hima who had just gone to sleep had woken up and caught up with her.
"Hima wants Nda, Well ... Bring it back here again!" Hima's cry broke out, as the expression on Nuga's face slowly softened.
Nuga took a deep breath. Facing Hima mode is much easier than in this sad mode.
Nuga's big hand grabbed his son in a sling. Calm Hima with a soft pat on the head.
"Dad forbid nda to marry, yes! You won't come back here again." Hima.
"Come back, darling .. She will still be Hima's teacher at school—"
"But said Mbak Nur, Nda is going to Bandung with her husband. Won't be here anymore, Dad."
Nuga looks around, then searches for Nur's whereabouts. Why did Nur even make things worse after Hima's hard work was tamed? Geez, Nur's mouth is a bucket once."
Nur who saw his master enter the house with a terrible look could only look down.
"I'm sorry, sir .. I'm just telling you the truth" Nur Lirih said.
Nuga dropped his breath and head onto Hima's shoulders. Jeez ... Why is everyone so innocent like Nanda anyway?
