Chapter 4

...***...

Nathan is upset to see Widya more attention to Harsa.Ia also left the fair book area to his car. Still with his grumbling lips annoyed, because Widya returned home ushered Harsa. After about an hour's drive, Nathan arrived at his house which was greeted by twins—Evan and Ellen, and his mother.

"Bang Nath, why, the hell, is his face bent so? Like a wallet for the month!" exclaim one of his twin sisters—Ellen. Nathan only responds with a lazy look, rotates his eyes and answers a lie. He already thought, he would definitely be bullied when telling the truth.

"Nothing, anyway. Capek. That's right, Sentul's pretty far! Not to mention the traffic jam" Nathan said.

"Remain, nih, just jammed doang? There is nothing else like being left behind by gebetan, so?" evan's sneers taunted his handsome brother, followed by a mocking laugh from his twin sister.

"Hush! Can't be the same brother!" hardik Liana's.

Nathan clucked, "Tau, nih. What the hell is going on, anyway? So Kepo!" Both of his eyes bulged towards his two younger siblings alternately. "Well, ah, come in first, take a shower. It's sticky, here, body!" Nathan steps his foot inside the house, but Liana calls him again. Even his steps stopped.

"Bang, why? Really nice bete, huh? Until mama is not greeted," asked Liana felt strange with her son's attitude. “People coming home from the book fair event are happy. It's round and round like a crumpled newspaper.”

"Huh, Mama why, anyway? Kok, that's a hell of a word. Want to follow Nathan? Everything about his own son is like a crumpled newspaper!” Without turning around Nathan's body responded to his mother's question in a paused tone.

“Lah, yes, anyway! How, you're talking about that ketus like mama?"

Nathan let out a rough sigh, his body turned to face Liana. Both of his shoulders were squeezed while looking at his mother with a sorry look. He who is upset with the closeness of Harsa and Widya, even vent it to his family.

"Sorry, Mom! Nathan is okay. Really just tired," Nathan regretted in a softer tone. A faint smile was placed on her lips, as a sign that she was fine.

"Ehm .. Yes, if there is nothing." Liana returned Nathan's smile, "there in! Shower, eat, keep resting, yeah! You're tired, right?" liana's orders were attentive. A warm smile still faithfully adorns her beautiful face.

Nathan nodded, obeying his mother's words. However, before turning around and leaving, the narrow-eyed man stepped over to Liana, then hugged her tightly. "Thank's, Mum!" lirih. Liana simply rubbed Nathan's back gently, before then the embrace re-deleted.

"I, really, wasn't hugged?" babble Ellen with a manyun lips.

"I also want to be hugged" Evan said, not to lose.

Nathan flicked his lips, but a nosy smile rose afterwards. He spread out his hands, "Here's the big brother!" he said to his two sisters. Without thinking for a long time, they also entered into the arms of the brother.

Liana smiled happily, she was happy to see her children living in harmony and love each other.

After bathing, eating, and taking a break. Nathan picked up his cell phone lying on the nightstand. He wanted to contact someone, who he said was a friend, but a sense of a girlfriend. Who else if not Widya Princess Esmeralda. Sweet and beautiful girl, who has been her best friend since High School.

Pressing Widya's number, she starts her call. Although it's been lifted up across the street for quite some time.

"Hallo, Nath." After waiting for a little while, Widya's voice finally sounded. Nathan smiled, as if the voice was supplying his spirit that had diminished before.

"Night, Honey. How are you doing? Kangen, hey!" babble Nathan while laying his body on the bed. The flat objects that became the intermediary for their chatter were still stuck to his ears.

"What, anyway, Nath? Not very clear, though. I just came home to see you, yes, if you forget!" reply Widya a little upset.

"Widih .. some are angry. Take it easy, Yang! Don't make it hard" Nathan said, laughing.

Once again, Widya could only sigh deeply. Supply as much oxygen as possible, for the stock to face a Nathan. "What the hell, anyway? It's the night too, still bothering me, lo! What are you not cape? Rest there!" widya Gerundel.

"Because ... Nathan!" Widya is getting angry.

Nathan laughs at Widya's nagging. He was not angry at all to hear Widya's nagging that he thought was funny. “I if you contact you, there is no fatigue. Just want to ask, what time until home, My dear, Widya Princess Es—” Not complete Nathan continued his words, suddenly Widya interrupted.

"Here you go, Nath. Don't call me by my full name or I'm matiin! I'm cape tau, Nath!"

"Why, anyway? Sewot continue if same me, try if same Harsa!" Nathan sounded annoyed. His words sounded soft, to the point of not being heard by Widya.

"Lo what's the talk, anyway? I'm not horrified."

"Udah passing, no re-broadcast!"

"Nath!" Widya gave another warning when she heard Nathan was back.

“Iya-iya. It's nothing, really. Uh, on the way home, why Harsa?” ask Nathan kepo. He felt he had to find out that Harsa had delivered Widya to the house on time or even used her, taking Widya around for a while before returning home. Could be, ‘kan, Harsa took advantage of this situation to get Widya's attention back.

Forced, Widya also recounted during her return trip with Harsa. He could not refuse Nathan's request, because he knew the man did not stop if his wish was not fulfilled. Widya told me everything. From the beginning of the journey from Sentul to Widya's house. Unmitigated, he also tells about things that Nathan thinks are annoying. Of course, Nathan's ears were hot when he listened.

Whether intentionally or not, Widya tells about how Harsa cares for him while in the car. That's where Nathan feels Widya is happier and pays attention to Harsa as well. The feeling suddenly appeared. I don't know if he is jealous or still upset with Harsa because it has scratched a lot of wounds in Widya's heart. Friends who became the place to complain all this time. To be sure, Nathan feels sad, because now Widya is closer to Harsa.

Eventually, the call ended with the consent of both. It's late at night, and tomorrow they'll start college. The call left a sense of annoyance and tightness in Nathan's heart. Whatever the power, the intention of the heart to contact Widya wants to justify her feelings, but even more complicated.

Time passed so fast. Widya and Harsa are getting closer and closer, making Nathan finally ask Widya.

"Widya, do you still have the same taste of Harsa?” nathan asked Widya, who happened to be in the cafeteria.

"Opaan the hell lo, Nat. Come around haphazardly!” irritated Widy poked her lips.

“My answer, Wid!” pinta Nathan forces Widya to answer his question.

Putting a spoon into a bowl filled with meatballs, Widya said, “Ya, no. Why, the hell, do you think he got there? What don't-don't, you're jealous, yeah, look at me near ama Harsa?” widya looked at Nathan.

Widya's question makes Nathan wrong. The man scratched his nape which was not itchy.

“Please, Nath, keep negative thoughts away, lo, yes! I'm the same Harsa is just an ordinary friend, and you remember, yes, Nat. My heart still hurts with reality if he was just playing with my feelings at that time!” Widya patted her chest. With reddened eyes, Widya again said, “Sick, Nat. Just so you know, this heart is like glass. If it is broken into pieces it will be difficult to be whole as before. And even if you can, it will look good. I can't forget about it.”

Widya's confession just made Nathan smile. He again grabbed the meatball bowl in front of Widya. Persuading the girl back to eating. He was calm with Widya's reply. By late afternoon they decided to return home by chance there was no longer a schedule of activities to follow.
