The Past of Nova 2
Still a flashback
.
After Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, the two of them decided to go to other attractions in the city of Jakarta, they didn’t even think about where they would sleep and whether the money was enough to go back to Kendal. They didn’t think about it at all because they were so unstable in their thinking, they just wanted to have fun spending their savings that they were currently using to travel to Jakarta. They also didn’t think about the impact of their departure, whether or not it would make their mother panic.
Now, at Falah Orphanage, their mother is looking for Rosa and Nova. The middle-aged woman has searched in the room, in the park, and at school, but to no avail. The orphanage mother had even reported to the police so that her two children could be found immediately.
“How is it Mr. Police, have you found their whereabouts?” She asked. The policeman shook his head.
“For this day they have not been found at all, even we have also searched in various corners of Kendal city, ma’am. Please forgive us, we haven’t found them yet.” Said the policeman. The orphanage mother looked anxious because her daughter had not returned. Cold sweat began to pour down her face. Her hands were intertwined and clasped each other because she was afraid that she wouldn’t find her daughter.
‘Where exactly are they? Why didn’t they ask permission first if they wanted to leave?” She said to herself. The Panti mother was so worried if the two panthers ran away or even anything happened to them, considering their young age.
“Sir, please search again until you find them. I won’t rest easy if you don’t find them. I’m afraid something will happen to them.” Mrs. Falah said.
“Alright, you just calm down. We will try to look for them in other cities, especially Jakarta, which is usually the escape of teenagers for vacations.” Said the police officer.
“All right, sir. If it’s possible when looking for him, please allow me to come too.” Mrs. Panti said.
“Yes, ma’am. Tomorrow around 08. 00 our team will search Seoul using a police car.” Suggested the police officer.
“Yes, I will come, sir.”

While elsewhere, it was getting late, Nova and Rosa chose to see the sunset on the beach in Jakarta.
“Wow, it turns out that the sunset at the beach is very different from when we were at school, Nov.” Rosa said.
“Yes, I also really like the atmosphere of this beach, the wind is very spoiled because it always caresses our faces. Hahahaha.” Said Nova while laughing contentedly enjoying the beach breeze. The girl also put her backpack on the white sand far from the sea water of the beach, as did Rosa.
“Hahaha, when did you become so poetic? Hahaha, your language is like a writer’s.” Rosa said with a laugh. They sat down on the wooden bench that had been provided.
“Hahaha, I just spontaneously said it. Oh yeah, how much money do we have left?” Nova immediately checked her bag and there were still a few bills that she thought were enough for the trip home.
“It’s still safe, hehe.” Nova continued with a smile.
“Thankfully, you still have my money, right? I meant to pay for it too.” Asked Rosa.
“Yes, you take it easy, I still have it.” Nova replied with a smile. Meanwhile, Rosa just nodded her understanding of what Nova said.
“Look, Nova! The sunset is really nice!” Rosa shouted while pointing at the sun that was about to set around the white clouds that surrounded it. Rosa immediately turned her gaze towards the sunset which looked very good.
“Wow, that’s right. If only I had a cellphone, I would have captured this moment.” Nova regretted. Yes, the two of them had not been given cell phones since they were in the orphanage because according to the orphanage mother, if they were not in Senior High School, then they were not allowed to use cell phones yet.
“Huh… yes, too.” Rosa replied with a disappointed sigh because she could not capture that beautiful moment.
“It’s okay, the important thing is that we have witnessed the sunset directly, right?” Nova said with a positive mind.
“Yes, it’s more fun than just capturing the moment on your phone.” Rosa smiled back.
“Yes, you’re right. Oh yeah, after this, where else are we going?” Nova asked.
“To a tavern, shall we? We can only eat at small taverns because we don’t have enough money to eat at restaurants, right?” Rosa suggested.
“Right, we don’t have enough money to eat at a restaurant. Alright, let’s just go to a tavern near here.” Nova broke up.

The cold beach breeze began to make the two girls reluctant to just take a shower. There was indeed a toilet on the beach, and the two of them couldn’t help but take turns bathing there so that someone would look after their bags. After bathing and changing into warmer clothes, plus thick jackets, they now began their journey again looking for a shop to eat.
They boarded the bus and started their journey towards the bustling city of Jakarta at night while looking for the right shop to eat at.
“What are we going to eat later, Nov?” Rosa asked.
Actually, neither of them had a history of illness that prohibited them from eating this or that food. Not at all, both of them can eat any food. Even seafood they are not allergic to at all. So, they are relaxed about eating anything.
“Umm, how about a ttokpokki shop instead? Or seafood?” Nova asked. Rosa seemed to think before answering.
“Hmm, I think it will be ttokpokki Nov. Seafood is usually expensive, I’m afraid we won’t be able to go home tomorrow, our money is running low.” Rosa suggested.
“Yes, too. Yes, let’s try walking first, who knows on the side of the road there is someone selling it.” Nova said, which immediately got a nod from his close friend. However, when they were walking a few meters, they finally found the shop they wanted, the ttokpokki shop. But the shop was across the street, making them have to cross first.
“There’s a ttokpokki stall, Nov! Let’s go there.” Rosa shouted while pointing to the shop across the street.
“Wow, yes, let’s go there too Rosa.” Rosa nodded and immediately pulled Nova’s hand without looking to the right or left of the road and ran straight there.
Tin! Tin!
The sound of the passing vehicle immediately honked its horn in surprise because there were two people who immediately ran towards the road.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“NOVA GET OUT OF THE WAY!”
“AAAAAAAA!”
Rosa immediately pulled Nova’s hand to be held and suddenly,
BRAK!
BRUG!
The two girls who had been wanting to eat at the stall across the street were thrown several meters and rolled down the street. One person protected her friend by hugging her close friend’s body. As a shield so that the close friend would not get hurt at all and instead, she herself would get hurt. Nova, who was in Rosa’s arms, who had closed her eyes due to fear, opened her eyes slowly. Nova looked around that his friend was still hugging his body. Nova also raised his head. Looking at Rosa who had closed her eyes. Nova tried to free herself by opening Rosa’s arms. Ventured to be in a sitting position. After succeeding, he could see that his friend’s blood was already flowing on the highway from his head. Suddenly Nova immediately covered her mouth using both hands.
“Ro- Rosa… wake up.” He said while shaking Rosa’s stiff body.
“Rosa! You’re not kidding, wake up! I said wake up… hiks… hiks… hiks… why Rosa? Why did you sacrifice your life for me? Hiks… hiks… hiks…” Nova was still shaking Rosa’s body. Nova also clung to the thin body, not caring about her friend’s blood that had soaked her shirt.
