The Light of Love Tania
Awake already

Week pass...

Both Mr. Mul and Mbak Ani are still silent about the situation of Yudha. Since the day that Tania accidentally heard Mr. Mul ask Mbak Ani, they no longer talk about Yudha in the work area. Nicko has not yet announced Yudha's whereabouts.

Yudha's relatives near her house were equally reluctant to tell and say they did not know about Yudha and her family. What Tania believes now is that there is something everyone is really hiding about Yudha.

"A, which engine is the series?" Tania asked as she passed Nicko by the measuring table.

At that moment Nicko looked clumsy, only looking into Tania's eyes at a glance then lowered his head again and looked in another direction.

"Oh, again finish the Stool engine which series 5. I go first, Mr. Jean is waiting" he said while walking in a hurry.

Tania just nodded and walked into her room. He cupped his hands on the table. This time he looked dreamy, his mind was scattering into various things. His eyes looked at the busy operator ahead of his commute. But it was not the job he thought.

His mind was still focused on where Yudha went, then he felt there was a strange gurgle in Nicko's attitude and gaze to him. Nicko seemed to slowly move away or avoid Tania.

A Nicko today is strange, usually if the break likes to invite me, this morning also usually he and Iqbal like to come to my room before work hours in the beginning. I didn't even see Iqbal today. What happened to those two?. I'm sure there's something they're hiding from me. Tania.

He decided to reprimand Iqbal and Nicko directly. Even if by chat or phone they will berkilah and can look for reasons. After some time ago he and Nicko talked about this, from there also Nicko did not give any info.

Inevitably Tania will force anyone to speak up about Yudha. At night Tania could not sleep, she tried to find the most comfortable position in order to quickly fall asleep. Still because of excessive worry his eyes are difficult to be invited closed.

"I can't sleep this....The feeling was going to sleep already washing feet, wudhu the same do'a too but this eye can not be compromised" complained Tania as her body rolled back and forth on the mattress.

"Oh yes, said Mr. Kano if you can not sleep try dzikir" he murmured.

He began chanting some tranquilizing dhikr, until finally his eyes closed slowly and brought him to dreamland. Truly effective advice from this Father.

The next morning he left in a hurry as if he could not wait to talk to Nicko or Iqbal. Previously he had warned them to meet first Tania in his room before starting work.

"Good Morning everyone" Iqbal said excitedly as he entered Tania's room.

"Bright..The Boy hasn't come yet?". Tania shook her head slowly, Iqbal sat down in the front seat of Tania's desk.

"Well that's it" pointed Iqbal at the new Nicko and still wearing a jacket and carrying a helmet in his hand.

"No, I haven't had breakfast yet". Tania thrust a packet of food in front of Nicko and Iqbal. Their eyes immediately sparkled, Tania always knew the habits of her friends who always missed breakfast.

"Aihhh lu mah emang understanding, Kuk" said Nicko while chewing a piece of cake that is still warm.

"It bought itself? Is there a cake bar decker in your house?"

"Ordinary hehehe, A. Someone sent me breakfast. At home decket I have no one selling cake beams, most are selling surabi oncom"

"So curious, who is really caring for you" said Iqbal.

"You must have seen. He never filled an event at the wedding of Mbak Sari at that time"

Iqbal seemed to be thinking about the people on stage. But his memory is not specific because he remembers only a comforting person.

"Do not know me. No-one saw (see in detail) also the people who filled the event there" replied Iqbal.

"Hmmh if that's not the person who invited me to sing when we're eating at a typical Sundanese restaurant?"

"Ohhhh that one?" nicko replied in a loud voice startling Iqbal and Tania.

"Aihhhh saucy, saucy, polite, kind, yahhh it fits you" Iqbal said.

"Your old son of a bitch?" ask Nicko.

"Huh? To home?"

"Yes to the house. Why the hell, A? How shocked that is". Nicko seems excited to get a question from Tania.

"Oh, it's okay" he replied awkwardly.

"By the way I really want to ask you guys something".

"What?" ask Iqbal.

"I know there's nothing A Nicko is like you're hiding from me" said Tania without a stale base.

"What's wrong?" ask Iqbal again.

"A Yudha's". Firmly Tania with a gaze that did not switch from Nicko.

"There's no info yet" Nicko replied casually not looking at Tania's face.

"A Nicko please very well. I know A Nicko knows something about A Yudha. And not just A Nicko, but Mbak Ani and Mr Mul as well".

"Eh original, Boy? You know where Yudha is? Why don't you tell me?". This time the Iqbal he made wondered by shaking Nicko's body.

Nicko was silent. Not long after, he raised his voice again.

"Even if you knew, what would you do first?"

"I will act if I know first the circumstances of A Yudha. It's free A Nicko give me a question like that but A Nicko doesn't tell me anything".

Silent...Nicko bowed, Iqbal threw his gaze alternately towards Nicko and Tania. Tania's sharp gaze pointed at Nicko.

"You guys don't be surprised. Actually the Yudha family forbid me to tell this to anyone including you, Tan".

"Why is that? Is there anything serious about A Yudha?"

"Ho'oh's. I'm telling you Boy. Who are we really to not know the situation of Yudha? Cake is not considered my friend"

"Initially I also thought of your cake, Bal. But yes, maybe they have a lot of consideration as well. Especially you, Tan..." Nicko's voice weakened as he spoke the latter's words.

"What then? Come, A.....Pleases. I beg you very much A Nicko. Tell me the real news of A Yudha now" Tania said. Nicko's heart felt unable to see the look in Tania's eyes that were filled with worry.

"OKAY. I'll tell you now. But I also beg you very much to control your feelings"

"It's a fuckin' hunt, Boy"

"Yuddha....Sick" he said.

Tania and Iqbal threw their bodies into the back of the chair.

"What pain? Why is it necessary to keep everything a secret?"

"Leukemia...And it's in a bad stadium"

"What?? Leukaemia? Oye..Wait for...Wait, am I not wrong?" Iqbal asked in surprise while smiling bitterly at the thought of his best friend who was now struggling with pain.

Tania was unable to speak anymore. His worries are now turning into reality. But it never occurred to me that Yudha would be this ill. Her round of tears trickled down, breaking through her eye fertilizers and flooding her white cheeks.

Leukemia??
