A Flick of Asa For Love
CHAPTER 32

...***...

As promised during reply to chat overnight, Nathan will take Widya to do research proker (work program) on one of the famous stores in the Central Jakarta area. He who is ready to sit on the single sofa of the family room, make a knot of rope on his flagship white snakers, “Ma, Nathan want to unplug first, yes.”

Nathan, who had not received any approval for his call, was forced to move from his seat. His steps moved to and fro looking for the whereabouts of his mother. Until he found his mother was in a small garden not far from the pool.

From where he stood, Nathan squinted his eyes because it was not so clear who his mother was chatting with. It was still early in the morning, who had visited so early?

Nathan finally decided to approach his mother for a farewell. The more he approached a movement from the two diverted to him.

“Nathan,” suffocates Vina feels excited and approaches to hug Nathan. “Still in the morning already fragrant, where are you going, anyway?"

Nathan, still in shock, found out through the look in his eyes at the mother who was still reviewing her graceful smile, but she just shrugged her shoulders with a headband in response.

Nathan who remembered his goal immediately cut off Vina's embrace which was felt too excessive. “V-vin, already! I have to hurry up."

Switching from Vina, Nathan immediately grabbed the hand of mama, “Nathan, depart yes, Ma.” Then he switched to kissing both cheeks Liana.

Liana, who already knew her son's plan to accompany Widya to visit one of the stores in Central Jakarta, just nodded with a swipe on her son's shoulder, ”Be careful, yes! Success make his research.”

“Where are you going? I just came, loh.” Vina was annoyed at not getting an answer.

“There is a lecture assignment for research in a store that has been appointed by a lecturer in central Jakarta.”

“I'm coming, dong. Suntuk tau, no activities.” Vina wrapped her hand around Nathan's arm, showing Nathan her plea.

“Can't, Vin. I made an agreement with Widya. Ride the motor only because, let's spit,” reject Nathan gently so Vina wants to understand.

Removing the link of her hand on Nathan's arm, Vina looked annoyed. Failing to mess with Nathan and Widya.

The vibrating notification sound on his pants pocket sent Nathan rushing out of place as soon as possible. Waving at his mom and best friend who still displays his upset face.

“Today may fail, but tomorrow I have to be even more aggressive,” Inner Vina.

***

“Sorry, yes, dear, old.” Nathan clenched his palms together a pleading sign on Widya that displayed her flat face holding back her annoyance.

Sure enough, Widya had been waiting for him since thirty minutes ago. Sitting quietly on the porch of his house. Nathan, who has been late lately when they are making a deal, makes Widya a little upset.

Like a few days ago when Widya was waiting for Nathan who was presenting. He even refused Karin's invitation to go home together to wait for Nathan. Even with Harsa, he also had offered an invitation to go home together. Again Widya refused under the pretext of reducing the commotion between the two.

Then, when Widya pulled over to sit in a small park next to her faculty building, it was seen Nathan running hastily past Widya just like that. Either because he was so hasty that Widya who was there escaped his sight or because Widya who was slightly pulled over so invisible.

Nathan's broad steps can't afford Widya to offset. So he went home with shaky steps, several times looking at his phone hoping his call to Nathan was immediately connected. Widya also resigned by choosing to order ojek online.

Later that night, Nathan comes to Widya to apologize, telling her that he accidentally forgot his promise to Widya. Finished the presentation he got a call from Vina, if he was involved in a minor accident. Without thinking long Nathan who has a high social spirit ran towards his motor sport and then split the streets. A little worried because Vina who has just lived in Indonesia, has not been so memorized the streets in Jakarta.

“Sorry, Dear. I couldn't think at that moment. I also almost forgot my phone to contact you.” Nathan begged.

“One hour, Nathan. If you forgot.” Widya has not been able to parse her feelings for Nathan.

“Love me any punishment! Provided that after that you will forgive me,” pinta Nathan again.

Withholding a smile, “Tonight too. Take me around on a motorbike. Where aja's. Can't refuse!”

Nathan shone upon hearing his lover's words. Assent Widya's request, then ask permission from mother. After that he had to return his car first to the house and then switch to using his motorbike.

***

"Who, what, is daydreaming?" Nathan patted Widya on the shoulder.

Widya took a deep breath, as those memories suddenly flashed through her mind. That really pisses him off. Today Nathan repeated his mistake.

“Now thirty minutes. How much longer tomorrow, Nath?” widya.

“Sorry, yes, My dear! Last time, there was Vina coming home. I have to persuade him first so he doesn't come.”

“Vina, again,” murmured Widya slowly, but Nathan could still hear. He also breathed. He knew Widya was jealous again.

Although still upset, Widya according to because this proker is very important to support its value.

The next day, by ten o'clock Room chat “Sahabat forever” back bustling with fanfare about the end of the semester holiday.

...99 message not yet read ...

Edo: So where, huh?

Harsa: Participate in the most votes.

Carin : Option 1, beach.

Kartika: Uh, this is from earlier @Widya @Nathan two lovebirds where, nih, no comment?

At first glance Widya who saw a chat room that was increasingly crowded even many times her best friend deliberately gave the code through the tag to her. He also did not see Nathan who was in the chat with his friends.

He sat propped up on his chin at his desk, then grabbed a portrait of himself with Nathan at High School, whether he had ever gotten where the photo came from. Who is taking pictures with him. He smiled wryly, palpating the glass surface right on Nathan's rancid face.

He re-read whatsapp from Nathan a few minutes ago. He said that he was with Ellen who was taking Vina to Bogor, to buy some furniture to complete the new apartment owned by Vina. Nathan also sent a message if he could not come along, if the vacation plans with his friends are still in place today.

Of the several messages Nathan sent, none Widya responded. He was so reluctant to respond if it was related to Vina. Although Nathan is not traveling alone with Vina, Widya cannot resist her jealousy.

Nathan decides to contact Widya by phone.

"Darling, why wasn't my message answered? I'm going to go with Ellen, help Vina buy her apartment" Nathan asked as soon as his phone was picked up.

"Sorry, just now help Mother." Widya's Lies. "By, Nath. You just go. Yeah, you be careful on the road! Don't call yet, you must be driving, right? I want to continue to help Mother," continued Widya gently before finally hanging up the phone.

Widya closed her eyes tightly while squeezing her phone. "What am I supposed to say, Nath? In reality, you're still going, right? You're not asking permission, Nath. You just gave a statement, that you are currently with Vina and forbid any free."

Widya folded her hands on the table and drowned her face there. He cried, the tears he had been holding back, now spilled with his sadness.

“You're aware, aren't you, Nath? It hurts me. You put her first rather than me" Widya said between tears.

***

After receiving an answer from Widya, Nathan's heart was relieved. At least, Widya will not be angry if she has asked for permission.

“Denger himself, right, how good is Widya? He can think maturely and he can also be understanding. That's what I like about him" Nathan told Vina

“Good, but kasian, because it was left the same brother," Ellen chirped from behind.

“Little boy, know what? After all, my brother did not leave. Brother, 'kan, have asked permission," Nathan was not happy with his sister joining the tour.

"Abang ... that's not the name of permission, but you know," Ellen argued not to lose. “Oh yes, I am sixteen years old, if you forget!”

Nathan who is still focused on driving still responds to Ellen's chat. "What's the difference try?"

"Too permission, that was before it was done. If it's done, it means tell!" furious Ellen. Vina did not live up to the brother-sister debate, she focused only on her main goal, separating Widya and Nathan.

“Eh. That's the gibberish of Widya's sister, huh?” Nathan chuckles afterwards, his sister's style is very similar to Widya's when sulking to him.

Along the way, Nathan endlessly praised Widya's kindness and sweetness to Vina who was sitting next to him.

Nathan's story certainly makes Vina furious. Unknowingly she squeezed the seat belt in front of her chest, but cleverly Vina hid her warlike look behind her sweet smile. Moreover, Ellen who was sitting in the back seat still continued to tease her brother.
