A Flick of Asa For Love
CHAPTER 38

...***...

Until the class ended, Widya was still trying to avoid Nathan. The girl suddenly approached her teacher. Pretending to be busy and asking a lot about the tasks given by the lecturer.

Nathan wanted to interrupt, but he felt bad for being disrespectful to his lecturer. He also chose to leave class first. Nathan waited for Widya while sitting in a long chair located in a corridor near the campus building exit.

Long enough Nathan waited, Widya finally passed the place along with his two friends—Karin and Kartika.

"Which, we need to talk." Nathan holds Widya's arm, which makes the girl's steps stop.

Widya looked at Nathan's hand that was coiled around her arm, before the look turned to the hand's owner's face. "I'm in a hurry, I'll just say it," Widya refused.

"Why are you, anyway? Suddenly cuekin me?" nathan was confused. His hands still clutching Widya's arms.

Widya removed Nathan's hand from his arm gently, "I'm fine. Again the owner himself," Widya argued.

"lik! If you're okay, why is your attitude the same as mine? We were better yesterday, right?"

Widya looked at Nathan with a cold gaze, "What is your heart made of, anyway, Nath? You can be sweet with me, but behind there's another woman playing with." Widya.

"Why? Did I make a mistake again?" Nathan's question throttled Widya, then turned his gaze in the other direction. Trying to resist the urge of the clear liquid that almost fell from his eyelids.

"Wid, come! He said he'd go to my house?" As if understanding of Widya's position, Karin pulled the hand of her best friend. However, Nathan quickly grabbed Widya's hand next to him again.

"Which, wait a minute!" pinta Nathan with a soft tone.

"Heh, don't you know, anyway? Widya no longer wants to talk to you!" Kartika who can't wait to rebuke Nathan.

"What do you mean, Tik? Obviously you know Widya, well, my boyfriend. Why won't he talk to me? You guys know something, right?" lick Nathan.

"Dear of ap—"

"Tik, stop! I don't want to talk about this right now." Widya interrupts the word Kartika. Then he shook Nathan's hand again. This time it was a little rough, then it said, "Please, Nath! Give me some time to make it myself, and for a while don't call me yet!"

"Yes, but why?" Nathan is confused.

"Lo budek, huh?"

"Tika ... have it, ah!" Karin suppressed Kartika's anger by rubbing the girl's shoulder. Kartika is indeed more easily ignited emotions. Moreover, he has repeatedly seen his best friend hurt by men.

"Nath, I understand your feelings, but mending you introspect yourself first, deh! You love Widya, right? So, please hear the words!"

"But—"

"Come, Wid! It's hard to talk to a cheat." Kartika finally exhausted her patience. He forcefully pulled his two best friends away from Nathan.

Nathan can only be alone. He did not understand the attitude of the three girls. Moreover, hearing the words of Kartika who accused him of being a cheating man. And does he have to let Widya be alone, then why the self-instrospection? He does not know where his mistake is at the moment.

"So much more, anyway?" nathan growled while shuffling his hair in frustration.

***

Time passed, already two days Nathan no movement to ask for Widya's explanation again. The man really listened to his lover's words so as not to meet him for a while. Nathan only sent a short message containing small concerns as a girlfriend, and of course Widya ignored.

However, it actually makes Widya even more upset. Nathan doesn't really want to get his heart back. Even on campus, the man seemed to stay away. Yes, that's how women are. When he asked to be left alone, after being followed he even hurt. "You're really mean, Nath! Is that all you have to do to apologize to me? Is it okay now you are busy with Vina? Aaaargh ... basic nyebelin!" Widya threw her pillow on the floor.

Along with that, Arini suddenly went into Widya's room, "Hey, mother's child why?" tanyanya. His footsteps were fixed on the pillow that was the victim of his son's impingement, then grabbed him for him to bring closer to Widya.

"Why you?" ask Arini again. He sat on the edge of the bed where his son was, and kept the pillow back where it was.

Widya frowned, she folded her knees in front of her chest for him to hug. Then support the chin on both knees. "I'm in the same sprain as Nathan, Bun," Widya's great-grandson later.

"Still not finished your problem?" ask Arini. Widya shook her head in response.

"That's it, Bun. Widya says the same she's the one who wants it herself. Uh, he really didn't come anymore. It's really nice, isn't it?"

Hearing that Arini laughed. His hands stretched out to scramble Widya's hair. "You are just there. Obviously Nathan does not want to come here, you forbid him yourself," said Arini was anxious with the attitude of his own son.

Widya did not give a response, she was still flirting with her current position. His mind turned to think about how his relationship with Nathan continued.

"If according to mother, you better meet Nathan first. Talk carefully about your problems! Mommy see, you miss him too."

Widya's head looked up instantly, her forehead wrinkled along with her two furrowed eyebrows. "Mother knows, deh. Who said I miss Nathan?" Widya twitched, but still could not hide the red hue that radiated from her cheeks. He blushed because Arini teased him.

"Yes, you don't miss, but don't have red cheeks."

"Mother ...." Widya whines spoiled. I hope that my mother will no longer suck it.

Arini couldn't bear to not laugh. He was happy to tease his son. "Yes, yeah. Mother apologizes. You're not in college? It's eight o'clock, loh," exclaimed Arini.

"It's Sunday, Bun. College is also off," Widya's great-grandson.

"Oh, yes. Mother forgot. If it's a shower, it's breakfast! College holidays don't have to be everything, do they?" After saying that, Arini stood up and left Widya's room.

Widya returned pensive after the death of her parents. His brain digested every word spoken from his mother. Perhaps true, Nathan is not entirely wrong, as Nathan has never been absent to send him romantic messages. Widya is sure, Nathan is also feeling tormented.

***

A cheerful smile accompanies Widya's gontai steps. After a long thought, the girl finally decided to go to Nathan's house. He was about to give a surprise, as well as asking for an explanation of the truth of the photo of intimacy between Nathan and Vina sent to him at that time.

The sound of knocking on the door accompanied the greeting thrown by Widya. It stopped when the door opened. Widya's forehead was contorted, when she saw that the one who came out of Nathan's house was Vina.

"Well, are you here?" The question involuntarily came out of Widya's mouth. Her memory of Vina's face in the photo made her heart suddenly become hot.

"Kok, are you that? In Indonesia I only know Nathan's family. Of course I can be here," Vina replied casually.

Widya sighed, she should not be rash before she met Nathan. "Where's the shower?" ask Widya again.

"Said Ellen Nathan is not there, he again went to his friend's house. I haven't seen him either. If you want, wait a minute! I think I'll just go home." Vina was polite. His fake smile really looks natural.

Widya was silent for a moment, before she decided to wait for Nathan by sitting on the chair on the front porch of the house.

"The wait is inside!" take Vina for a chat.

"No need, here alone," Widya refused. Vina was forced to accompany Widya to sit there.

There was no conversation between them after a few minutes. Both were busy with their phones. Until suddenly Vina stood up, while looking at the circular time hints on her wrist. "Eh, Wid. I'll go first, deh. I forgot to buy something in the mini market" said Vina.

"Oh, yes. Please!" Widya turned towards Vina. He's a little confused. Tumben once Vina didn't wait for Nathan, then asked his girlfriend to drop off.

"Oh, yes. Later when Nathan comes, I'll take a message, yeah! Tell him he doesn't have to apologize about the incident. I know he's a khilaf, even though we're both conscious when I'm doing it."

"What incident?" Widya flinched hearing Vina's words. The statement sounded ambiguous in his ears.

"Later you know, ask Nathan! I'll go first, yeah."

Widya looked at the back of Vina who moved away from her gaze with a feeling of fear. His body seemed stiff, his brain became dead end. He was afraid that the incident was related to the photo he received two days ago. If that's true, then Nathan has betrayed him. The fear made her tears spill instantly. He could not resist the turmoil of disappointment that enslaved in his heart.
