In the morning Widya was a little jolted because the digital alarm clock located on her nightstand continued to sound. Widya several times blinked her eyes and recovered her consciousness, then chose to sit leaning on the headboard to turn off the ear-splitting alarm sound. The heart-to-heart talk between mother and son last night really made Widya think about what she said, making her wake up. Fortunately today was Saturday, so Widya did not need to rush to the office because she had a holiday today. However, he was a little jolted because he forgot his promise with Karin and Kartika to run in the morning around GBK (Gelora Bung Karno) together. Not finished will be surprised because given his promise to his two friends, Widya has been shocked again by his cellphone that reads. On the screen of the phone is listed name ‘Karin’ as a caller.
“Widya—, where's elo? I'm the same Tika has been waiting for you from half an hour ago, but lo, kok, did not appear,” shouted Karin at the end of the call.
“Sorry, Rin. Gue—.” Not yet Widya replied, Karin immediately cut Widya's speech.
“Eh, Juminten. You just woke up? Gile lu, ye's. We have run three rounds and you are still good at sleep,” jolt Karin who heard the typical hoarse sound of waking released by Widya.
“Iya-iya, this also just want to be ready. I am also nyampe.” Widya started walking towards the bathroom to prepare to meet her two best friends.
“Gue wait. Watch out if you don't come. I will nyamperin you to home and make the same calculation lo.” Karin stressed, but chuckled afterwards, as it was not usual for Widya to wake up late.
Two days ago Widya promised to accompany Karin and Kartika sports together, because they do not have time to gym or yoga together. They finally decided to go for a morning run this weekend. Actually, Widya was reluctant to accept the invitation of her two friends, but because Karin and kartika continue to whine and say that her weight and Kartika continue to rise due to frequent meetings in restaurants or cafes that provide good food. Widya's heart finally melted and accepted the invitation.
It didn't take long. After getting off her online motorcycle taxi, Widya started contacting Karin and asking where the girl was at the moment.
“Halo, Rin, where are you? I've been in GBK, nih,” explained Widya.
“Halo, Wid, here we are again in the food court in GBK. You just come here,” reply Karin in her phone connection.
“OK, I'm there.” After saying that Widya turned off her phone and stepped foot with a small run towards her destination.
After a while of searching, Widya finally managed to find her two best friends who were even engrossed in culinary. Widya could only shake her head, because at the table of her two best friends, Widya saw satay padang, siomay, batagor, and cilok. As well as three bottles of mineral water which is their favorite food of all.
“Lo both really-really, yes. Really want to be culinary or want to exercise, anyway?" Widya who just came immediately commented. Karin and Kartika turned their heads towards him. "Two days ago you both told me I wanted to diet. Lah, now you are even fun to eat. Where many more are booked!” Widya spoke again while shaking her head, as if not out of thought with the behavior of her two best friends.
“Rechek, lo. This is all, ‘kan, because over time waiting for elo,” Kartika toilet and embraced by Karin.
“Bener, we have been waiting for you to come, and we have also run up to six rounds, but the lo-nya did not come. Finally we decided to wait, lo here,” said Karin while brandishing a skewer of the field she wanted to eat.
Seeing the behavior of his two best friends, Widya can only giggle amused, then said, “Lo both wasted fifty calories after tired of running, and then said, Lo, then you enter again a hundred calories from what you both eat at this time. Same goes, dong, Bestiee.”
Hearing what Widya said, made Karin and Kartika stop eating. Then, keep all the food out of their presence. Widya who at first chuckled became laughing out loud.
“Yes, I was just kidding, guys. Seriously very. You guys go on, gih, eat it! After that, we just burn fat together,” said Widya who did not want to make food become redundant, and broke the heart and spirit of her two friends who were looking to diet .
“Wid, not usually deh, lo, wake up. Is the work at Harsa and Zakir's office too tiring? Making you kayak gini. But after I Harsa and Zakir rarely tell you to work overtime, deh,” asked Karin who was starting to be curious.
Widya was silent for a moment. However, moments later Widya began to tell him about Harsa's inner expression a week ago. As well as the advice and words of Mother Arini last night that makes her continue to think, so as to make herself unable to sleep.
“So you nolak Harsa, Wid?” ask Karin and Kartika simultaneously to Widya. Widya only nodded weakly in response to their question.
“Gue isn't ready for a relationship anymore. Rin, Mouse. I'm ...” Widya did not continue her words, she just looked down at the food in front of her.
Hearing Widya's story about her rejection of Harsa, making Karin and Kartika feel they have to step in and speak up. Karin and Kartika looked at each other, then nodded at each other as if planning something.
“It looks like your brain and liver must be dysentile, Wid. Let you be able to think and realize how much love and affection Harsa to lo. Harsa's affection and love are just as great as Nathan's love for elo," Karin's inner self.
After being satisfied to look at each other and talk using telepathy between Karin and Kartika. Finally, it was Karin who started the conversation.
“Wid, I want to tell you something. Whatever, you want to believe or not. What is clear what I will tell you, in accordance with what I saw with my own eyes,” said Karin who immediately made Widya's forehead frown. It indicates that the girl is confused.
“What do you mean, Rin?” widya asked confusedly.
“Since High School and since she broke up from that time, Harsa really never had a relationship with any girl. Though you know yourself, right, Harsa is a school idol even she is also known as a campus idol." Karin's statement was justified by Widya. Making his head nod, because what Karin said was true.
“Lo know why?” ask Karin. Widya shook her head, signaling she really didn't know.
“That's all because of lo, Wid.” Karin's words suddenly surprised Widya.
"Because of me?" widya asked to make sure while pointing at her. Karin nodded for sure.
“Iya, because lo. From the time Harsa broke up with you, in Harsa's heart only kept your name. Harsa still loves you. Lo loves you very much. However, he loves you in silence. In fact, he is willing to give up on Nathan because he thinks Nathan is the right man who will never hurt you like what he did last time. Just so you know, Wid. So devastated were Harsa's feelings when Nathan left us all. Just like your feelings are broken. That's because Nathan left with your smile ...." Karin paused her speech. He needed an air supply to relieve the tightness in his chest. Given the slump of his two best friends at that time, made his heart so bitter.
"Lo inget, no, when you ever do anything ‘dumb' when you lose Nathan?" Widya nodded in response to Karin's question. You want to know how Harsa felt and sad at that time? He is like a man who has lost himself. Lost half his life. He's the saddest man after dad and mom. Harsa was never far from you when you didn't want to wake up in the hospital, Wid. He was always there for you, and never left you. Even until now I still see the same concern in the eyes of Harsa, if you are far from his sight.” Instantly all Karin's words seemed to slap Widya's heart.
Widya always thought all that Harsa did to her for a few years was only limited to attention and pity for her best friend's grief. Until one week ago Widya heard Harsa's heart phrase, Widya still thought the same thing. Harsa expresses her love only because she feels sorry for the fate of her being left behind by Nathan. But it turns out he was wrong. Harsa has harbored her love for so long, and when Nathan is gone, Harsa feels she has a chance to express it.
