INSECURE, Love of the Past
Cantika Conflict

Week pass...

After the meeting, Ivan and I were relieved that everything was revealed and nothing was covered anymore. I'm happy because things are going well and there's no big problem that I've always been afraid of happening.

At home, I felt lonely after the departure of Kak Tiara and Cantika. And I don't know how it is now. I wanted to go there to see Cantika and ask how she was doing, but my mother had not allowed me to go there. Mama is still busy with her shop that can not stay.

Today's the red date and I'm so bete. I'm calling Ivan to come to my house, I need a friend to talk to.

After 30 minutes, Ivan arrived in front of my house, we sat on the terrace and I told him that I wanted to see Cantika in my grandmother's village. Brother Ivan would take me but the problem is that I forgot the road to get there.

Trings..

My phone rang and I saw a message from Cantika.

'Mar, can you help me? I need your help.. Can you go to Kak Tiara's house xxxxxx.'

I read the message and called Cantika.

"Hello assalamualaikum Tika."

"Vaaalaikumsalam.. Mar, you can't come here right now.. I don't know who else to ask."

"Yes, but what is it exactly?"

"I can't explain now Mar, I'll explain after we meet ya.. I'm now staying at Kak Tiara's house, she's getting better with her husband.."

"Oh, okay Tika. The address is that one? I asked permission from you first, huh.."

"Yes Mar. I'll wait.."

I hung up the phone and said this to Ivan. At first, Ivan was lazy to help Tika, but I did not have the heart to Tika and was curious about what really happened.

Finally Brother Ivan agreed to take me to meet Tika at Kak Tiara's house.

We both say goodbye to mamah and immediately slide to TKP. The address Tika loved was the elite housing of the upper class, and of course Kak Ivan knew the place.

It wasn't hard to find that address because Ivan already knew the way. An hour later we arrived at the address. I called Tika and asked her where she was.

I looked left and right to see Tika's whereabouts. Not long after that Tika came out of the most beautiful house among the other houses. He waved his hand while calling my name..

"Mary.. Here.." Call Tika.

Me and Brother Ivan approached him and was immediately told to enter by Tika. Tika pulled my hand to enter her room, while Kak Ivan was confused as to how.

"Well, how's Ivan?" I asked Tika.

"Take the three of us in my room." Answer Tika.

"Where's Tiara?" My toot.

"Again out with Brother Kelvin." He answered while pulling my arm.

The three of us went into Tika's room. It was there that she began her story about her pregnancy.

"Mar, me and Kak Tiara have not told this to mother. I'm afraid you'll be shocked to hear this." Tika.

"What about Dendi? Does he want responsibility?" My toot.

"He's not responsible Mar.. That's why I'm asking you for help, I really need your help." Answer Tika mengiba.

"We must be able to find the video that is stored in Dendi's flash. You'll know Sister Sandra, can you help me by pretending to visit there and secretly to her room Dendi?" Obviously Tika.

I was confused, I glanced at Brother Ivan who was beside me.

But it seems like Ivan is also confused how to.

"But Tika I'm confused how to." My answer.

"If I can't find the video, Dendi will keep running from responsibility and threaten me to abort this baby." Tika said while bowing her head.

"Yes, I want to help you.. But you have to be patient first.. I need some time, maybe after the new national exam I can go to Sandra's house." My answer.

"Yes Mar.. I'm not telling you to do it anytime soon either. Thanks a lot, you agree with my idea. I don't know who else to ask." Tika.

"Yes Tika, you're my cousin, I'm sure I'll help you. But for now, I have to focus on facing the national exam.. After that, we'll think of a way out of your problem."

Tika hugged me and thanked me.

I can't bear to let Tika face her own problems, she's a very good cousin of mine.

I also asked Kak Tiara's Problem to her, and thankfully Kak Tiara's husband had realized his mistake and promised to change his bad attitude to Kak Tiara, I was happy.

I and Brother Ivan say goodbye to go home because from earlier mamah kept calling to go home, whether there is anything mamah is not usually like that.

We went home and I promised to help Tika deal with her problems. He seemed very happy to hear it, many times he thanked me.

I rode a motorcycle with Brother Ivan, on the road I saw someone like Dendi was gathering with his friends. He didn't realize I saw him on the bike. But why do his friends look like thugs and also his age is older than Dendi.

I patted Kak Ivan on the shoulder to stop at a roadside stall and pretended to buy a drink.. I want to make sure if it's true Dendi or not, because my eyes are a little problematic aka farsightedness.

"Sister, that's really Dendi, isn't it?" I asked Ivan who was drinking Aqua. I didn't look back at him one bit, I focused on seeing Dendi who was in front of him.

Brother Ivan also paid close attention because our distance was quite far from the place of Dendi.

"Dear, that's Dendi.. But why did he get together with those thugs huh?" Mumbled Ivan.

"That's why I told Brother to stop here, I was surprised by Dendi, how he hung out with more mature people, let alone that it looks like a delinquent. I'm afraid to see it." I said while hiding my body behind the tall body of Kak Ivan.

"Something seems wrong.. I have to find out about Dendi, and it looks like Sandra doesn't know her sister's behavior is like this." Answer Brother Ivan.

"But you have to be careful.. These are thugs, like they're dangerous. Look at his face at that. Not to mention tattoos everywhere, there are 5 kak. a lot of them." My speech.

"I will ask Daffa and Aldi for help to investigate this Dendi. I'm also curious, what did he do to those same thugs." Answer Brother Ivan.

"Sister.see me, Kok Dendi wobbly in the same little plastic love thugs. What is it? Don't-don't it.." I shut my mouth, surprised by my own guess.

Ivan looked at Dendi who was hiding a special little plastic where the medicine was in his trouser bag. He still didn't realize that we were paying attention to all his attitudes from afar.

They also disperse by riding their respective motorbike which exhausts noisy. It disturbs the hearing of everyone who hears it.

Likewise with Dendi, he had already left and the place was empty no one.

Me and Brother Ivan continue the journey with uncertain feelings. We both got lost in our thoughts about Dendi. And it seems that it should be investigated with his suspicious attitude.
