The Way We Met's
5. Meet Marco

Nina out of class with a lethargic face. His sign will come home

struggling with the thoughts in his head. About losing

Marco, about the abandoned work, about the atmosphere of his home, all

makes Nina sick. I want Nina to have a purpose other than home. A pal? Nina

not happy with Vania. Vania is busy in BEM.

Nina raised her head, started walking and trying to make

everything's normal. Right in front of his eyes, there was a figure that he longed for

presence, once. Marcos.

Marco finished college in the next building. For Nina Marco

still handsome as always. His curly hair was tied, flannel shirt and color t-shirt

black, and the sneakers Nina gave. Hapal is right Nina with Marco's style is not

ever changed that.

Marco lowered his head as soon as Nina knew

noticed it. Nina asked Marco a lot of things. Because

their farewells were impressed. They had not fought before.

There has never been a significant confrontation between Nina and Marco.

“hello, co. How are you doing? Your hair is a little longer than

ordinarily. Didn't your woman take you to your barber?”

murmured Nina, of course in the heart.

“Your eyes are puffy, co. What are your many tasks? Nook

maybe we cry over our farewell. You asked for.” Inner Nina

again when accidentally saw Marco's puffy eyes.

Nina looked at Marco again. “Health tag yes, co. Lucky

you are surrounded by good people. May your life be more after not the same me.”

Nina put her foot up. I felt like I was lamenting Marco enough

to day.

“Tiiiiiiiiiin” Voice

car horn. Nina was almost hit. Nina was shocked, all eyes were on

Nina. There are only 4 people around. Marco's Gang.

Marco ran over to Nina who was still shocked. Haven't

having approached Nina, in front of Marco there was a man in a hurry

get out of his car. Approaching Nina, embracing Nina's shoulder. Marco stop.

Mr. Rama, the lecturer. The man who almost hit Nina was Mr. Rama. The man who also

embrace the shoulder and calm Nina. It was seen in front of Marco Rama's eyes

apologizing so badly.

“Gakpapa sir. I was shocked. I was wrong too.” Answer

Nina with a quieter face.

“Nin gakpapa?” Ask Aldo, Marco's friend.

“Nin, nin gakpapa?” Ask Farid, also Marco's friend.

“Gakpapa guys gakpapa.” Answer Nina is calming.

“Known?” Ask Rama.

“Know sir. Very familiar.” Aldo replied while glancing in the direction

Marco was standing a little far away from them.

“Pak responsibilities sir make a shocked child people.” Pestilences

Farid, try to melt the atmosphere.

“Quiet guys. Nin, come with me. I want responsibility.”

“Wah crocodile also nih sohib copy us.” Aldo nyamber's.

Nina looked towards Marco. Still standing there, listening

their chatter.

“Yuk nin.” Take Rama.

Nina smiled, lowered her head, then walked into Rama's car.

“Lah nin? Really?” Aldo said in shock.

Farid and Reza who had been silent were also shocked. Marco what

any more.

“Initial yes, bro. Co, first co.” Rama.

In the car, Nina just looked down and played her nails

when Rama passed them and honked. They and Nina first

real close. Often play together, give each other surprises when there is a repeat

the year. They're still good to Nina. It's just that Nina will keep on remembering Marco

if they are around them.

“Where is your heart nin?” Rama opened the conversation.

“Aman pak.”

“You are very familiar with the axe gang.”

“Iya sir. Know time ospek.” Answer Nina.

“Familiar father is also the same them?”

“Copying menu.” Answer Rama.

So Marco's gang who ngajaknya lecturer coffee.

Nina just smiled. Things are going around the brain

Nina. Don't let Nina remember Marco for a second.

“Marco think what yes fit me in the car Mr. Rama.” Nina

say that sentence a hundred times in your heart.

“Marco, don't get me wrong. If you ask for an explanation

I can answer as clearly as.”

Nina said inwardly, while repeatedly checking the notification

her cellphone.

Free. There's no Marco on his phone screen. Nina's Shoulder

gagging. Sadness is inexhaustible.

“Nin?” Rama's voice shocked Nina.

“Ah ” pack.

“Mending you point the way. This is from earlier I

directions.”

“Eh. Yes sir sorry.” Answer Nina grin.

Rama's car headed for a big road south of the city.

“Loh. This is the way to my home.” Chirp Rama.

“Times anyway sir?”

“Iya housing beautiful gem.”

“That's a hell of a deket behind ruko.”

They were both in front of a shop. There's a big board

it's white. Helenina's. The board reads Helenina with the motto below it,

Your Favorite Fashion Shop.

“Yuk sir.” Take Nina.

They both went into the store. The bohemian nuances

trending.

Rama's eyes swept over every corner of this room. His hands are picking

one by one the clothes are hung on the display. The style of young people today.

Dress style of Nina. But from that time Rama did not find a child's clothes.

“Here sir.” Nina invites rama into her shop

deeper.

Two officers smiled at Rama. They

pass it. In a rather deep part of the boutique, Nina paused and emblazoned

some kids clothes were hung.

Rama picked one shirt after another.

“Why here? Too deep make display.” Ask Rama.

“Not too ripe pack the preparation. This kid's new shirt

the idea came up. No models, no catalogs, no displays

which roughly fits. The food is Instagram mixed with adult products. Still

rapping the market pak.”

“Sangkal loh. Very nice. My son is sure

likes.”

“Wah seneng really me.” Nina smiled.

Rama has 7 sets of clothes. I don't realize, everything's good.

“Udah bring aja pack.” Nina.

“No yes, no want. Come how many. I pay.” Answer Rama

“Udah sir, itung-itung promotion.”

“You want to bribe I don't want ya.”

After a long debate, rama was finally allowed

paying.

“This sir. Titip for a father.” Nina thrusting the box

a unique colored unicorn.

“Still Nin. Ngerepotin.”

“A little by now.” Answer Nina grin.

“Sialan.”

“Yaudah, let me drive home.” Added Rama

“No need sir, I sleep here kok.” Answer Nina

“Oh okay that way. Thanks a lot ya.”

Rama put his foot out. Nina was immediately confused.

Actually there is no intention of sleeping in the shophouse. There's very little Nina stuff here. Nina

just unkind to Mr. Rama because if you have to take him home, the same

just round this town.

“Yaudah itung-itung aloof.” Inner Nina.

Nina went upstairs, towards the front room. Headed for room

shower and shower, even though there's no towel here. Unrung still have equipment

baths. Nina looked at yanga's clothes in the closet. There's only pajamas with tops

and subordinates who are all mismatched.

Nina's choice fell on the color mouse mickey pants

pink and fluorescent green t-shirts with the words ospek faculty of engineering. Nina splits

body mattressed. Want to go to bed soon. Think Marco is more tired than college

full day.

Tok.dok..

“Mbak Nina's. Already asleep?” Ask someone at the door.

Rini's. His employee. With a little weight Nina opened up again

the door he just locked.

“What rin?”

“There are search mbak.”

“Who?” Nina asked confusedly. What Marco? Nina's Hurry

straighten his wet hair.

“Mas of yesteryear.” Answer Rini

“Who wore a tie earlier?”

“Iya mbak.”

“What's missing ya?” Inner Nina

Nina stepped foot up the stairs to the bottom. Paks

Rama stood there.

“Not eaten are you?” Without further ado, mr. rama

offering plastic with rice boxes and bottled drinks.
