"You know Bagas, Mrs. Elina is the second person who is very nice to me after my best friend Hana. And Mrs. Elina is the first person who has considered me as her daughter, apart from my parents. I don't want to disappoint Mrs. Elina. For that, cooperate with me. Let's be friends so that Mrs. Elina is happy. You don't want Mrs. Elina to be sad, do you?" said Nikita explaining at length to Bagas about Elina's wish. Both of Nikita's eyes were still staring at Bagas bravely.
Bagas was silent, as if his eyes were locked. Even Bagas unconsciously met Nikita's gaze with misty eyes.
"Why do Nikita's words hypnotize me? Usually I would never care what other people say, since my heart was hurt one year ago." said Bagas to himself with a feeling of astonishment.
With a heavy feeling finally Bagas nodded his head as a sign that he agreed with Nikita's offer.
"Good, thank you." Nikita said, standing up and patting Bagas' shoulder.
"Hem ... do you want to sit in the chair or stay in your wheelchair?" said Nikita, offering Bagas where to sit.
"I'll just sit here." replied Bagas briefly when he was starting to wake up from his posture.
Elina, who had been back and hiding behind the door, was very happy to see Nikita trying to get Bagas to be friends.
In her heart Elina hopes that Nikita can return Bagas as before, a Bagas is always full of attention.
"Nikita." called Elina out of the door with a box of homemade cookies and handed it to Nikita.
"Take this Nik ... to eat at home. This cake is homemade." said Elina with a smile.
Nikita accepted it with a touch of heart.
"Thank you madam ... I also want to excuse myself to go home because it is late." said Nikita awkwardly.
"Nikita." called Mrs. Elina before Nikita moved from her place.
Elina hugged Nikita and cried softly.
"I beg you Nikita, if you don't mind from now on call me Momy." said Elina with a pleading look.
Elina's request penetrated Nikita's heart. Nikita's eyes filled with tears, Nikita tightly hugged Elina as if hugging her own mother. Nikita hugged Elina without limits, a strong bond that was felt by Nikita when she met Elina for the first time. And it turns out to be true.
"Nikita ... call me Momy, okay." said Elina looking expectantly into Nikita's face. Elina is still waiting for an answer from Nikita.
"Very well, Madame ... Momy." said Nikita hoarsely, holding back the happy turmoil she felt.
Seeing that sight, Bagas's heart began to be touched deeply. He could not believe what his mother did to a Nikita. Why is it so clear that his mother's love for Nikita. In fact, so far, many women who are close to their mothers even have sweet words and are willing to lick by giving luxurious gifts to attract their mothers' attention. But nothing could attract Elina's affection.
"Mom ... I have to go home now." said Nikita, kissing the back of Elina's hand.
"Yes, honey be careful ... is it necessary between Parman?" said Elina offering Parman the front guard.
"You don't have to Mom ... it's not close to one minute." said Nikita trying to joke.
Nikita's gaze turned to Bagas.
"I go home first ... remember my words earlier. From now on we are friends." said Nikita as she grabbed Bagas' hand and held it tightly.
Spontaneously, Bagas was surprised by Nikita's sudden grip.
And strangely he didn't try to take her hand away and let it be.
"Bagas." calling Nikita in a low whisper.
"You heard what I said, right?" said Nikita, tightening her grip waiting for Bagas' reply.
"Yeah ... I remember, let go of your hand ... it hurts you know." Said Bagas hoarsely and seemed cold, making Nikita smile widely.
"I will not let go of my hand, because your own hand will not come off either." said Nikita teasingly Bagas while looking at Elina with a wink. Bagas became embarrassed by Nikita's unafraid attitude.
Elina is very happy to see Nikita's sincerity in trying to get Bagas' attention.
"Good luck Nikita." whispered Elina in ear Nikita.
"Amen ... I hope Mom." said Nikita in a whisper too.
***
It's been a week, Nikita has been busy preparing for her students' semester exams.
Nikita wants to make sure that her students can complete the exam with good grades.
Even Nikita is willing to give free time for additional lessons. Even though she is busy, Nikita is still good at sharing her time telling her family, Raka, and even Elina.
Only the rest time is reduced. Even the leisure program reading a novel is no longer possible.
Nikita's relationship with Raka remained stable, and always took the time to express her longing. Sometimes Nikita tells about something, even discussions if there is a problem.
Like today, Nikita really wanted to talk about Elina and Bagas. Nikita didn't want her good relationship with Elina and Bagas to become a problem for her relationship with Raka.
Because Nikita realized, her relationship with Elina would indirectly involve Bagas, a man whose age was not much different from Raka.
Only because of her busy life, Nikita still can't talk at length. And today is the time for Nikita to talk about when Raka called her.
"What are you doing, Nik? can relax or not for us to let go of longing." said Raka attentively.
"Still not finished Ka ... new exams start next week. How are your parents Ka?" Nikita asked, always asking about the condition of Raka's parents in every communication with Raka.
Raka's parents really love Nikita, Nikita also loves them very much.
"Their condition is good Nik, they miss you. They want to see you home." said Raka with feelings of longing.
"I try to go home for school holidays Ka, I also miss Mom and Dad." Said Nikita, feeling homesick too.
Nikita shifted her seat so that she could lean on the wall of the bed, correcting her position so that she could be comfortable telling Raka's story.
