Currently, Widya was standing on the balcony of her room. Enjoying the wind that hit the skin of his face and fly a few strands of his hair. He recalled the time when Harsa admitted his feelings to him which until now always disturbed his heart. From then on, the closeness between him and Harsa grew more intense. Surprisingly, he was not at all burdened with it. Only, he could not accept it yet.
“I can't replace Nathan. But, can't I continue Nathan's job of making you smile? Just like Nathan used to treat your heart because of me, then let me treat your heart because of his passing.”
It had never crossed his mind to replace Nathan's position in his heart with another man, even though the man would never return. He is not ready to accept new people in his life. He always closes his heart when a man tries to approach him.
Widya told Karin and Kartika everything. They are very supportive of Harsa's move, because they know that Harsa has been harboring feelings for Widya. Even when he was with Nathan. While the mother of Arini only supports whatever decision Widya will take.
Widya has not given any answer after two days ago Harsa reassured her. However, the last few days, the man proved everything without having to ask.
Harsa seemed to really continue with Nathan's duties. Just like Nathan, Harsa is always present when Widya is having a hard time. Regarding the mischievous behavior of Nathan, maybe Harsa did not inherit it, but the man was always able to be a shoulder when Widya needed backup. The man understood what Widya wanted without having to be revealed.
Widya sighed to have the tightness in the chest slightly reduced. “Hopefully my choice this time is really right,” Widya said calmly. “Nathan, I miss you.”
After Widya was satisfied to spend two hours in her favorite place, she then went back into the room to rest her mind and body.

Tiin's! Tiin's!
This morning the sound of car horns was heard all over Widya's house. Making Widya immediately run to get close. “Wait a moment!” Widya kept shouting loudly from inside the house, although she was sure that the figure in the car would not hear her.
“Bun, Well, Widya departs, yes. Assalamualaikum,” pamit Widya while peeping Arini and Bowo cheeks in a hurry.
“Where are you going? No breakfast first?” arini asked half-screaming as Widya's body slowly moved away.
“Find happiness, Bun,” replied Widya no less tight. Hearing Widya's reply, Arini just shook her head with a look of wonder.
Widya immediately entered Karin's car. There is already Kartika who is busy playing mobile phones. “Sorry, yes,” said Widya felt guilty for making her best friend wait.
The three of them intend to take Harsa home today. Even though Harsa had asked them not to do so, they were still pushy. They also originally invited Zakir and Edo to leave together. However, the two men said they would follow, for fear of making the three women wait.
“Gue, it's okay. The problem is we still have no time, to get to the hospital at nine?” ask Karin.
Kartika also put her phone in a bag, then glanced at the circular watch in her hand. “Still in half an hour, before Harsa gets home. I trust my security with Widya to elo,” said Kartika while grinning.
“OK. You guys wear real seat belts. I want to be a driver today.”

The three women who had been fighting against traffic jams, finally arrived at the hospital at exactly nine. They immediately headed for the room where Harsa was being treated. However, only a hospital attendant was seen who was changing bed linen there.
“Sorry, Ma'am. Patients who were previously treated in this room where, yes?” widya asked when she saw that all Harsa's belongings were not there.
“Oh, already home about ten minutes ago,” replied the officer.
“Good, Ma'am. Thank you,” said Widya a little disappointed. “But we did not meet them, loh,” Widya complained to Karin and Kartika.
“Maybe they use the elevator for patients, Wid,” Kartika explained.
They drove the car to Harsa's house. “Wid, lo why, anyway, really to join Nganter Harsa? There's still Harsa's parents, you know. After all, Harsa also said no need, right?” ask Kartika when she is in the car.
“We as friends must have a high sense of empathy,” Widya replied.
“Wait, Wid! I am suspicious, deh. Lo attention as a friend or lo attention as a form of affection for the opposite sex?” investigating Karin behind the wheel left Widya speechless for a moment.
“E ... We all love each other, right?” Widya tried to neutralize the atmosphere.
“Wid .. trust both of us. Harsa has changed. You see the change over these two years, no? He cares the same. In fact, he prioritized elo more than the rest of us. Remember, Wid, sometimes first love is difficult to forget, loh.” Kartika again gave an explanation.
“Bener, tuh, Tik,” said Karin confirmed.
Along the way to Harsa's house, Widya is immersed in her own thoughts. Especially after hearing the explanation of the statements of his two friends. Is it true that her feelings have changed for Harsa? But he still hasn't forgotten Nathan.
“Wid, you are not down?” Karin calls out Widya's daydreams.
“Eh! Yes, Rin.” Widya immediately got off the car Karin and followed Kartika who had walked first.
“Wait, deh! This is Edo's car, isn't it?” asked Karin when she saw Edo's car parked in the courtyard of Harsa's house.
Kartika who had gone away was forced to turn around to prove Karin's words. “Bene. It's Edo's car. What a pussy is he calling?”
“Udah, yuk, log in!” invite Widya impatiently.
“Assalamualaikum ..” said the three women at the same time as they entered Harsa's house.
It looks like Edo and Zakir are already sitting in the living room with some snacks presented at the table. While Harsa, he lay on a long sofa that directly facing the door of the house.
“Lo both contacted no one can, it turns out already here first?” kartika Sergah.
“Tik, Harsa just got home from the hospital. Pelanin sound lo!” widya pinta.
“When you call, we are again on our way here. Before I get to the hospital I call Harsa first. He said he'd gone home, so we'd go straight back. Anyway, we tell you to leave first so as not to wait for the two of us. Uh, even we are waiting for you three,” Zakir explained. Kartika throws a lip, then turns to Harsa.
“Harsa too! Why come home more than the clock you said yesterday?” Kartika is still grumbling.
“Gue is also wronged? Salahin Doctor Dyah Ayu it, tuh! He came to part. So, after the final examination, I was immediately expelled and told to go home,” explained Harsa whose name was blamed.
They also chose not to continue the debate because they saw Evi who came to bring drinks for the three newly arrived women. After Evi's departure, it was Karin's turn to grumble at Widya, for too long to wait for Widya to pick her up. Not long after, they drowned with chatter about work.
Harsa looks very happy, especially when she sees Widya always laughing while in her house. Eventually, the woman was able to laugh even without Nathan by her side.
By late afternoon, they finally said goodbye to go home. One by one starting out of Harsa's house, leaving Widya there. “Sa, cepet healed, yes. Much rest. Don't be so tired! Later ... if you are sick, who changed Nathan to happyin me who?”
After saying that, Widya immediately left her place because she was embarrassed. Unfortunately, Harsa's hand first held back his departure. “Wid, mean lo?”
“Lo is not that stupid to mean my sentence, Sa.” Widya immediately walked away leaving Harsa who was pecking on the spot.
