A Flick of Asa For Love
CHAPTER 40

...***...

Nathan tries to chase Widya, begging her lover to withdraw her words. He really could not break up from Widya. A lover who is gained with full struggle will not be let go so easily.

“Honey, wait!” Nathan tries to stop Widya from getting into a taxi that stops in front of him.

Hearing Nathan's voice that was already nearby, Widya who had opened the car door for a moment threw herself into the taxi, then turned to Nathan who was already standing next to her.

“Moreover, Nath? What else do you want to explain? Is this time for you not enough to have hurt my heart?” Still with tears rolling down her cheeks, Widya looked at the face of her ex-boyfriend who was only a few minutes away.

Nathan shook his head. “No, dear.” Nathan tried to reach Widya's fingers. However, Widya quickly dodged.

Widya wiped the tears on her cheeks. Then he looked at Nathan. “That's enough, Nath. Between us it is over. You don't have to chase me anymore. Our relationship has been strained since Vina. You always put together the girl you consider your little friend rather than me who as your lover,” exasperated Widya who felt hurt by Nathan's recent treatment of her, who always subordinated herself.

Meanwhile, the taxi driver who witnessed the drama of their quarrel then spoke up to stop Widya and Nathan arguing. “Non, so order the taxi?” ask the middle-aged man in blue uniform the color of his car.

The two gender-different men turned to the taxi driver. “Iya, Sir!” Widya quickly got into the car leaving Nathan still glued to his place.

Seeing the taxi that Widya was driving away from, Nathan pulled his hair back violently. Widya's words asking to end her romantic relationship made her scream to vent her frustration.

“Aaargh ..!” nathan shouted loudly. He raised his head while closing his eyes to face the sky with no regard for the passing of vehicles and people looking at him. “I can die without you, baby. You are an important part of my life,” murmured. Without feeling the clear details dripped from the corner of his eye. “I don't want us to break up. I'll do anything to keep you, baby. Stay by my side. I will prove the magnitude of my love for you.” Nathan got up, removing the rough clear grains that wet his cheeks.

Widya's taxi stopped at one of the parks in the middle of the city. The sad-faced girl landed her body on a row of white-painted wooden chairs that turned back to each other with a wooden backrest as a barrier.

“It turns out all this time I've been a stupid girl. Only I love you, Nath. While you, from attitude and behavior alone do not show a sense of caring and sensitive to me. Your struggle to get me is not as big as my love for you,” said Widya. Clear circles back into the river wet his sweet face.

“What people say, sweet honey only at the beginning. Beetles that find a new pistil are more comfortable sucking there and leave the old pistil.”

All the memories of Nathan flashed through Widya's mind. Their good times that have been passed a few months back become a separate memory in Widya's memory. Starting from the behavior of Nathan who installments to reach Widya's heart until the attitude of romanticism of the tall man that makes Widya's heart always pounding when near Nathan.

Nathan's influence at that time was really like opium for Widya who was empty at that time. With careful consideration, he was so sure to drop the choice of his heart on the figure of Nathan who was able to shift the position of Harsa in the deepest corner of his heart niche.

However, those memories are meaningless. The words ‘putus’ that came out of his mouth did not necessarily come out just like that. By various considerations he is better off succumbing to ending an unhealthy relationship. Rather than boomerang and become an inner pressure for himself when he re-enacted photos of Nathan and Vina's intimacy, Widya chose to retreat.

Widya's sobs on the park chair woke someone up. Well, in the back seat, Harsa got up to fix her sitting position.

“Don't waste your precious tears just crying over the man who has hurt you!” From behind, Harsa held out a handkerchief to Widya.

A familiar voice made Widya look over. He gasped in surprise when he saw Harsa sitting quietly behind him. “Harsa? Since when are you here? What are you doing in this park?” widya asked curious and mixed with fear. Widya is sure, Harsa has heard all the uneg-uneg that he has been throwing since.

Harsa smiled at Widya's questions. The man in a navy shirt combined with a gray shirt, it immediately rose from his position and moved to the side of Widya helped land his body there.

“Ingus lo out, tuh!” Harsa comforts the girl of her heart.

With reflexes Widya wiped his nose and face that was swollen due to most crying over his relationship with Nathan which he thought was over. Widya's behavior makes Harsa anxious with the attitude of the girl beside her.

“Lo haven't answered my question, Harsa!” Widya looked back at Harsa who was sitting next to her with a faint look. His eyes were swollen, so he had difficulty opening his eyes wide.

The handsome man pulled the corner of his lips. Then said, “This world is so unique, well. Full of scenes with lots of scenes. We play as a character as well as the mastermind of a play that we play ourselves.” Harsa was still looking forward to watching a number of children and young couples began to crowd the garden area in the afternoon.

Widya was still silently digesting Harsa's sentence just now. But unfortunately, he did not understand the meaning of the words of his friend.

“Stop sad! As a woman you must be strong in the presence of your opposite sex. Do not be weak and too obvious to show your sadness and disappointment in front of people! Whoever it is. Especially in front of Cindy and Vina. According to the director, they are both antagonists of a play that is played. Therefore, you must rise from the slump and prove to them that you are fine and strong in undergoing the play that you are playing. All the results, the audience can judge. Where are good characters and bad characters.”

Widya digested Harsa's comforting words. It was true what the man who once filled his heart said. Although the incident of his heartbreak has been several years ago, now he can see the figure of Harsa who is mature and wiser in studying life.

“Thank you, Sa. Thanks to the advice from you, I feel calm. I will be strong as the main character of a mastermind as you say,” Widya's determination.

The blue sky turned red. The light that came with it slowly faded away. "If you need a backrest, my shoulder is ready for me to lend," said Harsa when he saw there was still a look of sadness in his eyes. "Honestly, I'm sick of seeing you like that, Wid." Harsa's words actually made Widya's cries break again.

Harsa is increasingly unbearable, however Widya is a girl who until this moment still fills her heart. Seeing that he was injured, of course his heart was also injured.

Without being able to refuse her heart, Harsa approached Widya who was still sobbing. Pull her into his arms in hopes that the girl gets a little peace.
