A Flick of Asa For Love
CHAPTER 43

...***...

In a relationship, trust is the most important foundation. Such a great love does not guarantee a relationship can last, especially without mutual trust between the two.

Widya who feels betrayed by Nathan's attitude that always cares about her ex-lover, makes her forget how Nathan used to try to get his love. So did Nathan, because of his jealousy of Harsa, make him think that Widya still keeps the taste for her ex-lover. In fact, he was provoked by the threat Harsa had once uttered to him.

A few days without greeting and not connected via mobile phone. It made Widya's mood worse. Honestly speaking, he could not deny that there was such a big longing in his heart for Nathan. Widya longs for Nathan's rancid behavior, sweetness and caring attitude. However, this time she felt that she should not be a weak woman.

As Widya was pervading her gnawing, suddenly there was a message coming in on her phone, it was from Karin.

Karin: Wid, let's pick it up now, shall we? Kartika is at my house.

^^^Widya: Okay, I wait.^^^

Karin: Wait in front, yeah!

^^^Widya: Why is it inside?^^^

Karin: Males meets mom 🤣🤣✌

Widya frowned, before she typed in a reply.

^^^Widya: Loh, what is it???🥺^^^

Karin: Canda Wid 🤭🙏, exhausted if you meet Mommy must be brought cake continue. My dong delights.

^^^Widya: Can aja, lo. ^^^

Widya commented a thin smile. He had planned to spend the weekend with his two best friends, to eliminate for a moment the problem with Nathan and rest his brain, so as not to think about the heavy thing. 'Pity your brain'.he remembers the message from Harsa.

For a moment Widya recalled the incident in the park when she was hugged by Harsa, because Nathan caught her. "Is that what made Nathan so cute yesterday?" thought Widya, "ah, but she also hugged Vina." Widya turned furious when she remembered the photo. He immediately dismissed all thoughts about Nathan, and no longer wanted to think about the thing that made him sad again. He soon searches for Arini's whereabouts.

After saying goodbye to Arini, Widya waited for Karin in front of the fence of her house in accordance with the orders of her best friend. After a few minutes of waiting, he saw a red SUV approaching him. It wasn't Karin's car, it was Harsa.

"Where are you going, Wid?" harsa asked after lowering her car glass with a sweet smile.

"You go to the Mall, Sa," replied Widya. He does not lie, indeed the original purpose of him and his best friend is to go to the Mall, but whether or not Karin will take him, Widya just follows. No matter what they do there.

"Need ride? My seat is idle, tuh!" haggle with Harsa while looking at the bench next to her.

"No, Sa. I want to be picked up by Karin. Where are you going yourself? Very neat, want to say something, huh?" search Widya while joking.

"Ngapelin people who are single, he said he wanted to ask for a gym company."

"Zakir, huh?" guess Widya.

"Yes, same Edo. Zakir said, Nathan can't come, because there's business. I think the same way again?"

At once Widya's face turned sad, when Nathan's name was called. Harsa, who noticed Widya's facial changes, feels guilty for her question.

Harsa tried to advise Widya. He believes, if between Widya and Nathan do have the same feelings, mutual love. So it's not appropriate for him to ruin the relationship. Everything he said to Nathan came from his heart. However, abstinence for him snatch people's girlfriends. Maybe, if later Widya and Nathan really break up, then he will come forward to reach his love.

Widya did not respond to Harsa, the sound of a car horn from the back of Harsa's car. That's Karin's car.

"Gue street, Sa. That Karin and Tika have arrived. Thank you for the advice" Widya said, leaving Harsa still looking at her.

"I can't afford to take you from him, Wid. Merely, my guilt in the past scares me, if one day I get you hurt again. Although I am now conscious, my love for you overcame everything. I just want to see you happy. For now, let me love you in silence and comfort you in grief. I believe, if your destiny is me, how far you go, you will still come back to me."

...***...

Widya spends time with her two best friends. From the streets of the shopping mall, tinkering to the timezone, stopping by the bookstore, to ending up in the cafe to fill the stomach. The worms had begun to rebel to be fed.

"Tonight in my house, yeah, Wid, Tik!" take Karin to her two best friends.

"Again, haven't been in your place in a long time!" answer Kartika with spirit.

"But I haven't permission yet" Widya replied with a sad face.

"Wid, this isn't the '90s, and if you want permission, you have to look for envelopes and stamps. Just call Arini's mother" said Kartika.

"Emang if you make a permit must use stamps, yes?" ask Karin plain.

"Yeelah, Rin, let's be more dramatic." While chuckling Kartika replied responded with the trunks of her two friends' heads.

"I'm afraid my mom won't let me if I let her on the phone." Widya felt hesitant, because her father and her mother always gave advice for her not to be too often outside during the night.

"Surely mother will permit you to nginep in my house. 'Kan, not at Zakir's house."

"Well, why is Zakir's house, anyway, Rin?" the Kartika and Widya protests only chuckled at hearing it.

While Karin closed her mouth hesitantly she said, "I mean Nathan's house." Hearing Nathan's name called at once made Widya's face back to being sad. Both Kartika and Karin feel guilty for bringing Nathan's name to their chat, even though their initial plan was to have fun and forget for a moment the problems that exist.

"How do you think I should?" Widya tries to ask her friend, because she knows to improve ourselves we need other people's opinions. Sometimes selfishness makes us always feel right and forget the mistakes we make.

"Why have I seen Nathan lately like you, Wid?" Kartika tried asking out of curiosity. However, for a moment he realized and then tried to rectify his question so as not to ignore the feelings of his best friend. "Eh, sorry. I mean, not yesterday Nathan was chasing you on, anyway. Why have you been so sick lately." Sighing Kartika ended her words.

Widya sighed harshly, before she recounted the events that happened when she went to Nathan's house and met Vina. Until Nathan finally sees her hugged Harsa. Both of his best friends were shocked by the story, until their eyebrows wrinkled together.

"It seems you have to talk from heart to heart, Wid," said Karin, "Lo still believes in Nathan, ‘kan?” The question made Widya momentarily silent. He hesitated a little, before he finally nodded in response.

"It looks like there is someone who is playing around with the relationship between the two of you, deh, Wid," said Kartika who felt suspicious.

"Therefore do not make people who want the destruction of your relationship feel victorious. You have to be patient and not weak. If we need to fight the person in an elegant way," replied Karin in a pretentious style trying to encourage Widya.

Yok, fight, yok! I support you from the side, Wid 😊
