A Flick of Asa For Love
CHAPTER 46

...***...

Days pass. Nathan and Widya are back together. It certainly makes his friends happy. However, all of that is inversely proportional to Vina and Cindy. Cindy is furious because it turns out that Nathan and Widya are difficult to be separated, while Vina tries to keep smiling in front of Widya and Nathan. Pretending to be happy even though his heart is inflamed.

"Gue make sure, your happiness won't last long" muttered Cindy behind the wheel of her car, seeing a sweet-smiling Nathan opening the car door for Widya. What a heartbreaking sight Cindy.

"Gue sings to see you smile again, Wid. Although I'm not the reason behind your sweet smile. I always pray for your happiness, "Harsa's inner self when she sees Nathan and Widya holding hands to their class.

"I think I'm the same Tika if it's already like Nathan as Widya that's not, huh?" babble Zakir suddenly while grasping the fingers of Harsa.

Harsa who was daydreaming was certainly surprised and reflexively shook Zakir's hand strongly. Making Zakir stagger and hit someone who was passing next to him.

"Ouch!" pekik Kartika when suddenly someone hit him from the side.

"Eh, Mouse! Sorry, sorry, not intentionally," said Zakir who was also surprised.

"God ... Bokirs! Early in the morning, because I'm the same, lo?" kartika Shouts.

"Don't get angry, dong, Tik! I didn't intentionally. The Harsa, this, the biang," said Zakir as he stood behind Harsa seeking refuge.

"Byeah, Zak! How, even bumping?" harsa Ledek. "Rather than imagining something uncertain, ask directly, tuh, same person! Dare, right?" Harsa still teases Zakir.

"Sst ... diem lo! I'm not ready yet. Afraid that I might be rejected again" replied Zakir slowly. He is still hiding behind Harsa's back.

"Who refuses a guy as cool as you, Zak?" Karin heard Zakir say. He who daritadi just smiled to see Zakir's behavior became curious. Not only Karin, of course Kartika also heard it. However, the woman did not respond to him.

Zakir did not reply, he only grimaced displaying a row of his white and neat teeth.

"Eh, you didn't say anything wrong, did you, Rin? Cool what? Try watching! The guy from earlier ngumpet, do not want to nongol. How can you see the cool?" tejek Kartika seemed to shift the topic of conversation.

"Cie .. said you want to see the cool face of Zakir," teased Karin again.

"Sarin!" Kartika glared sharply. He really didn't want to show how nervous he was right now.

"Udah, ah, disperse! You guys always just can not get along, I doain soul mate later," said Harsa who was bored with their romance drama that only harbored each other's feelings. Doesn't he realize that he is the same as Widya?

"Aamiin ..," said Zakir. Instead of being angry as usual, Kartika actually looks wrong after hearing Zakir's words. He turned his gaze in all directions, hoping to neutralize the rhythm of his heart that was suddenly racing faster.

Kartika's cheeks meet red, it looks very if he feels nervous. "We go first, yuk, Rin!" take Kartika as she passes by pulling Karin's arm towards their class. Karin held back her laughter seeing Kartika's behavior which she thought was very funny.

"Give me, Tik, take the bang Bokir! I'm afraid you'll find yourself holding onto that principle. Honestly, same with me! You like it too, don't you, same Zakir?" ask Karin to make sure.

"What the hell, Rin? Don't be weird!" kartika Gerutu. Their debates stopped when they entered the classroom.

A beautiful morning on Sunday. As he promised last night when he called Widya, Nathan would pick up Widya to visit his house. Since they improved their relationship, the two became closer.

Almost every weekend, Nathan always takes Widya to his house. While Nathan himself, since before they officially hold the status of dating, he has often been to Widya's house. Either to meet Widya, help Arini make a cake, or just play chess with Bowo—ayah Widya.

"Bun, Widya's leaving, yeah!" Widya says goodbye and kisses the back of Arini's hand. "Where's the father, Bun?" ask him again while circulating the view looking for the whereabouts of his father.

"Dad's still in the shower, Wid. Just called bang Jali, invited to fishing he said. So, I immediately get ready," replied the Mother, then thrust a bag containing a box of cakes. "This is a cake for Nathan's mother, don't forget to bring. Be careful, son! You didn't get Nathan?" ask Arini again.

"You are there, Wid. Greetings to Nathan and his family, yes!" said Mother Arini.

"Ready, Mother, Assalamualaikum," said Widya.

Widya immediately rushed out. Not long after, Nathan also arrived with his favorite Mini Cooper. Soon Nathan opens his car door for Widya, with a sweet smile that always adorns her handsome face. About thirty minutes into the trip they arrived at Nathan's house. The trip was accompanied by light talk and Nathan's dreadful seduction of Widya.

"Assynolt, Ma. His daughter-in-law's candidate has come, nih," Nathan said as he opened the door of his house, followed by Widya with a cake made by her mother.

"Nathan, don't do it, ah! I'm embarrassed" Widya said, hitting Nathan on the shoulder.

"What's up, honey. Ordinary with mom. You know for yourself, don't you, mom loves you very much" Nathan said. Widya smiled with a blush. However, the smile slowly faded as he looked at the person coming out from the kitchen of Nathan's house.

"Hi, Nath! Uh, there's Widya too. How are you, Wid? Long time we did not meet, yes," said the person, who is none other than Vina.

"Ehm .. Good news, Vin. How're you?" Widya was a little surprised to see Vina who was at Nathan's house today. This was the first time he had reunited with Vina since that time's sacred incident. Widya tried to calm her heart, she did not want to think a no-no about Vina. Had enough of a fight with Nathan yesterday. Widya promises to always trust Nathan. Don't let his selfishness boomerang again for his relationship with Nathan.

"What are you doing here, Vin?" ask Nathan. He did not want his idol to be hurt again because of the misunderstanding with Vina like before.

"Darling, have you arrived?" Liana's voice melted the tension between them. He came after Vina from the kitchen. "Bring another cake, Wid? Aunty so sad, loh, same as your bunda. Each one here must be brought cake," said Liana while holding Widya's arm affectionately towards the living room.

"No, really, Auntie. Mommy likes to make cakes," said Widya with a sweet smile.

"Vin, haven't you answered my question?" nathan asked again, after they all sat in the living room.

"Oh, yes, Vin. There is Widya too. You can express your wish. Aunty does not want something that makes you misunderstand again," said Liana who sat next to Widya.

Vina smiled in response to Liana's words, she did not want her plan this time to fail again. "Yes Aunty, I also do not want Widya to misunderstand again. Kasian is with Nathan if his heart is sulking," said Vina looking at Widya with a friendly smile, then turned her eyes towards Nathan.

"You remember my birthday, don't you, Nath?"

Nathan nodded in response. "Then why?" askalanya.

"Ehm .. That, later the plan I want to celebrate here. You, right, know I don't have anyone in Jakarta. I told you earlier with Aunt Liana, she kept telling you to tell Widya first. So how? Can you, right, Nath, Wid?" Vina alternately looked at Nathan and Widya's faces.

Nathan was momentarily silent, hesitant to say so. Then she turned to Widya for approval, "Where do you think, honey?"

Widya was still trying to digest Vina's words earlier. Actually he did not take revenge on Vina. It's just that he can't deny, his little heart still holds doubts. Could he be jealous? I don't know..It's hard for him to accept Vina as just a childhood friend of Nathan's. It felt like rejecting Vina's desire, but she was also not good with Liana.

"Widya, how? You don't mind if I have my birthday party here?" Vina's voice broke Widya's daydream.

"As for Nathan, Vin." Those words were finally coming out of Widya's mouth. Hoping for Nathan to resist Vina's wishes, but it feels impossible. Remembering them friends from childhood.

"It's just a party, Wid. Don't think of anything that makes you uncomfortable," Widya's mind calms her thoughts.
