Nathan must swallow the disappointment, because before the phone was picked up by the owner misses, he had to end his call because of the call from the father.

***

This morning, Widya came down the steps of her house in a hurry. Many times he checked the rate of time on a perfectly circular watch on his left wrist. In his right hand hugged some files that from last night he compiled for this morning's presentation.

Lately, the task of college is so dense, that under his eyes there is a shadow of the panda eyes that he has covered with thin makeup. The number of tasks that accumulate as if hit him repeatedly. So that he must be willing to cut his sleeping hours to do his tasks.

“Mother,” call Widya to the mother who is struggling at the dinner table preparing some breakfast menu. Seen father also sat on his stool chewing toast, in his left hand is seen holding the morning newspaper he always ordered every day.

Arini who heard the call from her only daughter turned her eyes away while giving a sweet smile to her daughter. “Iya, Darling. Breakfast first, yuk!” take her after receiving kisses on the left and right side of her cheeks from Widya.

“Sorry, Mother. Widya hurry. I'll have breakfast in the canteen, already packed, nih.” Widya re-examined the direction of time that kept moving.

“What do you want to bring stock?” tawar Arini's.

Widya thought for a moment and nodded quickly. Arini then rushed to prepare several pieces of toast on a box of supplies a million people, beloved mothers throughout the country, tupperware.

Putting some maps on the dining table, Widya then approached her father. “August, Father.” Grabbing his hand and then kissing him. Re-enforce his body after bowing to greet father.

“Pagi. Instead of riding ojol, how about leaving with dad?” bargain with the father.

“Still, Dad. Widya has already been pesen ojol. At most three minutes left until.”

Pt .. tiinn!

Sure enough, the online object that Widya had previously ordered through an application on her phone had arrived in front of the gate of her house. Following the appearance of Arini, then put the supply box on Widya's backpack. “Mother, thanks. Widya left first, yeah. Assalamualaikum Mother, Father.” Widya again grabbed some maps in front of her. Waving hands to both parents. Running small out of his house, Widya approached his online ojek order.

A relieved smile seemed to frame Widya's white face, after she made a presentation in front of the guidance lecturer. His efforts were not in vain. Try to prepare yourself from various presentation materials along with as much detailed explanation as possible about the points of interior design new material that he received.

Usually, if something like this is hard to do without being asked, Nathan will always help. Ah, remembering Nathan, Widya checked her phone which she had ignored since yesterday. Some messages that he sent on one contact name named ‘Nathan' from last night have checked two but have not been read. Disappointed, upset, and restless suddenly Widya felt. Note missed call last night from Nathan ignored because already disappointed. “Busy what, anyway, Nath?” muttered Widya while putting her phone back in the bag.

Slowly his steps moved towards the empty bench at the end of the corridor. Sitting facing a glass wall that displays the crowd and passing vehicles. A bustle of the capital's residents he could see from the fifth floor of his faculty building.

Slowly his fingers scrolled the screen until he found a photo of Nathan with him. Widya pulled both corners of her bibr to form a smile. In his mind, a shadow of Nathan's behavior all along seemed to revolve around him. Revealing a sense of emptiness that unfortunately Widya must admit the truth. All about Nathan suddenly sticking out to the surface, making a rumble in his chest shoot up, until Widya unconscious in the corner of his left eye has let out a drop of tears, “Gue kangen very same lo, Nath.”

When a drop of tears fell on the screen of his phone, at that time Widya just realized the reaction of his body without her thinking. Erasing slowly with his thumb, then he circulated his gaze. As soon as he found Karin sitting next to him, Widya tiptoed. “Ka-Karin. Since when are you there?” ask Widya.

Showing her ignorant smile, Karin simply shrugged her shoulders as the answer. “Back home, yuk!” take him while standing pulling his best friend's arm. Widya grimaced in shame. He is not stupid to simply understand the response of his best friend. Suddenly make the hue of his face meet. Of course he could conclude for himself, if Karin had known what he was saying.

On the way, Karin as the steering wheel holder, while Widya sat beside him. A few minutes of silence with each other's thoughts. Until the traffic light turns red, requires all riders to stop the trip for a moment.

“Wid,”

“Rin,”

The two then chuckled together realizing something was different than usual. Both Karin and Widya, usually always tell each course especially if after the presentation exam is the peak result of one chapter of the course.

“Lo first, Wid,” said Karin when she was able to master her laughter.

“Not so, deh. How about, what was that?” ask Widya.

“Ehm .. I was just watching when you sat alone staring at Nathan's portrait in your gallery, Wid.”

Widya just bit her inner lips for a moment. Trying to hang on to his ego to hide his heartbreak. When the horn sound of other riders sounds earthy. Widya then warns Karin to return to her car. Soon Karin refocused on her drive. Occasionally glanced at Widya who was still silent.

“Are you okay, Wid?” ask Karin.

“Gue well, really, Rin. I even managed a presentation without much revision.” Widya smiled as she sat facing Karin reassuring her best friend that she was fine.

“Yakin? You have no intention of making a story to me, so?” carin Cecar.

Sighing her breath for a moment, Widya ended up not being strong. It seemed like he did need someone to spill all his grunts about his current feelings. “Gue feels lonely, Rin. There's no Nathan here. Naturally, don't I feel that way? Almost every day, he wanders around me. And, this time Nathan went a long time, ‘kan?” terang Widya's. He sounded in his last sentence.

“Ooooh, so Widya has said it. If you miss Nathan's brother?” karin Goda. Although the answer is right, but Widya is still trying to evade. Judging from his slightly closed nature, he could not possibly admit that much to Karin.
