CHAPTER 51



...***...


After feeling quite calm and trying to convince himself about his relationship with Nathan, Widya finally decided to return home to Jakarta. The air in the mountains can actually refresh itself to become calmer. The variety of wejangan Widya can from the grandmother is enough to give her strength. The power to forgive the guilt of a Nathan, who is none other than his lover.


“Nek, Widya go home first, yes. Thank you, because Grandma is always there and always love Widya, like father and mother.” Widya hugged her grandmother's body and was met with a warm pat on the girl's back.


“What you start you have to finish. Grandma only wishes you the best, baby. Whatever it is. Because you are the only favorite granddaughter of grandma.” Grandma returned Widya's embrace warmly and tried to give strength to her grandson


After being satisfied to embrace, the two women of different generations also walked to the online taxi that had been ordered Widya. Before entering the taxi, do not forget Widya saying goodbye and kissed the back of her hand with reverence.


...****...


The sky of Jakarta is not so late in the afternoon, the sun is still standing upright on its axis. But Widya was already on the porch of her house knocking on the door and saying her greetings, so that Arini who was packing the customer's order cake rushed to the door and opened it.


When she opened the door, Arini was surprised, because the one who appeared to be standing at the door of her house was Widya, her own daughter.


“Assalamualaikum, Bun.” Widya grabs the back of Arini's hand and kisses her reverence.


“Waalaikumsalam. Loh, you think you want to stay at the grandmother's house, darling,” asked Arini in surprise, because suddenly Widya was already in front of him. Arini remembered that this morning Widya asked permission to stay at her grandmother's house for a few days.


“Mother and grandmother are right. Problems to be faced are not avoided. So currently Widya wants to finish what Widya has started, Bun.” Widya gives her best smile to Arini to convince her that she is currently fine.


“Mother will support all your decisions, Son. Because Mother is very sure that the mother's favorite daughter is now an adult. Know which are good and bad to do.” Arini gently rubbed the back of Widya's hand, trying to transfer power with her words and was taken lightly by Widya.


“Widya to top first yes, Bun.” Widya steps up the stairs to her room leaving Arini still staring at her daughter's back missing behind the door.


Widya's decision is now unanimous. He'll call Nathan to apologize. He apologized for a mistake he never made.


After entering the room with a minimalist feel. Widya went straight into the bathroom to clean herself up. It didn't take long for Widya to do it all. After finishing with her bathing activities, Widya headed to the closet. Choose clothes that fit for him today. Also, Widya's choice was fixed on a coral-colored floral dress with knee length. Pretty sweet for him to wear. Not to forget Widya makeup her face with natural makeup and nude colored lipstick. After brazing himself in front of a mirror with an appearance that he considers perfect. Widya also took her mobile phone and wrote a short message to her lover, Nathan.


^^^Widya: Nath, can I see you today? I want to apologize for yesterday.^^^


For a moment Widya waited for a reply, but only a few seconds immediately heard a reply message notification. Maybe across there Nathan is waiting for a chat from his girlfriend.


Nathan: Okay, baby, can. I'll pick you up later, yeah.


^^^Widya: No need, we will meet at the rooftop cafe at 17:30.^^^


Nathan: Okay, honey, okay. I must have come.


After reading the last message from Nathan, Widya went to the cafe.


...****...


The Lesmana family home. Nathan who got a short message from Widya was like getting the wind of heaven. His face was constantly publishing a smile that made Liana, Evan, Elen, and Vina who were at Nathan's house become astonished. Because, after the incident splashed Vina in the pool and his rude mockery to Widya last night, Nathan always showed his cold face. There was not the slightest smile from his lips after that incident. Only her stiffness and regret towards Widya enveloped her soul and feelings all the time.


“What's up, anyways? Kok, it looks like mama's son is very cool,” asked Liana to her son.


“Widya ngajak Nathan meet, Ma.” Nathan didn't lower his smile when he answered a question from his mother.


Unlike Vina whose face even turned upset, because all day Nathan just silenced her. However, after getting a message from Widya, Nathan's smile immediately developed perfectly.


“Nathan tau, Ma, Widya a good girl and want to admit her mistake, therefore Widya wants to contact Nathan.” With confidence Nathan acknowledges Widya's kindness, even though last night he flattered and insulted the girl. However, there was a little regret in him.


“Ya, already. There you get ready! Don't let you make Widya wait a long time.” Liana was happy because Widya could really change her son's mood from bad to more colorful.


“Spirit, yes, Bang!” yelled Evan and Elen clenching both hands to support the older brother. While Nathan just nodded then ran quickly to the room changing clothes and took his denim jacket.


Today he will use his best to improve his relationship with Widya. A million regrets enveloped his heart since last night's incident made him unsettled. Want it last night he immediately contacted Widya or if he could he would go straight to Widya's house to apologize for his rude attitude. However, Vina again held him back and said to give Widya time to calm down. He also confirmed Vina's speech. Nathan also needs time to reflect on all his attitude towards Widya until after driving Vina home last night, he again locked himself in the room until noon.


...***...


Nathan decides to use his motor sport to go to the rooftop cafe. Because he knows in the afternoon is the jamming hours of the capital city of—Jakarta. Many office workers come home at that hour. The afternoon hours were busy.


After driving for thirty-five minutes, Nathan arrived at the rooftop cafe. Nathan ran up the stairs to the top floor in a hurry. He can't wait to meet his love. Nathan watched all the cafe visitors until the net stopped on the figure he was looking—Widya.


For a moment Nathan was silent to pay attention to Widya who was cool to see the beauty of the afternoon sky that gave rise to a golden orange color. Nathan feels Deja Vu with this place. After settling into silence and remembering one thing, Nathan walked over to Widya's seat. Widya sat in the corner seat, where Nathan had expressed his feelings first.


“Hai, Darling.” Nathan greeted with an awkward feeling. However, Widya replied with a sweet smile that made the awkward taste disappear.


“A long time?” nathan asked again, which Widya answered only with a headband.


After ten minutes of silence, Widya finally decided to start the conversation. “Nath, you remember this place, don't you?” ask Nathan Widya. “This is where you first expressed your feelings to me, ‘kan?” Widya continued her question as she stared gently at Nathan's jet-blank netra.


“You know what, Nath? Actually at that time, I already had love, love, and fear of loss. But I still hesitate to admit it.” Widya smiled shyly remembering that, "I love this place, Nath. This place is very beautiful.” Widya uttered it sincerely from the bottom of her heart, but with a strange smile that seemed forced.


“So, you are sure I met in this place, you want to make sure I am nostalgic, yes, dear?” Nathan asked with a smile that continued to grow. However, as Widya shook her head, Nathan suddenly frowned in surprise.


“Neg. I'm just here to apologize to you. Sorry, because I'm no longer the Widya you used to know. Sorry, because I let you down at Vina's party yesterday. Sorry, because I said something rude. Sorry, if you think my behavior yesterday is a very shortsighted thing in your eyes. I just wanted to apologize for that.” Widya tried to keep the crystal clear circle did not shed wet her white cheeks. But it didn't work. The tears are now coming down hard.


“Wid—” Nathan wants to cut Widya's word. Seeing Widya's tears spilling back her heart ached. He wanted to remove the liquid that melted on his cheek, but he hesitated.


“I'm not done yet, Nath.” Widya cut Nathan's speech. He returned a smile while wiping away his tears. Nathan nods to let his girlfriend finish her words.


“I feel a relationship should be based on mutual trust, Nath. I want you to have it, but yesterday I didn't get it from you, Nath.” A sense of tightness again enveloped Widya's heart when she remembered the events at the party. "However, I will continue to apologize, so that you feel happy, Nath,” Widya said again.


“Thanks, Honey. You are a good girl. I'm sorry about you, though. I'm sorry for being rude last night, too. We're better, yeah!” persuade Nathan. He really felt it was too much for Widya. She made Widya cry again.


Widya smiled so sweetly making Nathan's heart a little calm. However, seconds later the smile disappeared as Widya grabbed her bag and took a blue dongker velvet box from inside. Widya put the box right in front of Nathan. Nathan, who recognized the box, frowned, confused by what Widya was doing. “What do you mean, Honey?” ask Nathan.


“I return this ring,” Widya answers Nathan's question casually.


“Sayang .. This is, right, the gift ring from me, why behind?” nathan asked in wonder. His hand grabbed the ring box, then opened it.


“Nathan. Just so you know, being able to be your umbrella in the rain, is enough to make me happy. But now the rain has passed. Go meet your customer! Go on Vina and forget me!” Widya's tears fell again and made Nathan's heart slightly scratched with Widya's words. I don't know what Widya means to call Vina is the customer, while Widya is her life.


“Honey, what do you mean?” Nathan firmly. Both of his eyes glared sharply.


“I'm sorry, Nath! Maybe I was just lulled by the wishful thinking that the love between me and you would be together on the basis of mutual trust. But I was wrong all along, Nath. You never believed in me, you doubted me, Nath. So ...” Widya came back sobbing very strongly. His words paused for a moment.


“I'm sorry, Nath! I ... want us to break up.” After saying the word ‘putus’ Widya rushed away leaving the stunned Nathan alone. Widya hastily leaves, before Nathan shakes up her faith again.


Along the way, Widya's tears did not stop flowing. He was still very disappointed with Nathan's attitude. "I guess you're starting to believe me, Nath. As it turns out, even now you still consider me guilty of the incident and it makes me sick. It hurts," said Widya.


After seeing Widya's body begin to disappear, Nathan is still loyal in his place. Recalling all the sentences Widya said a few minutes ago. Widya's shadow ended their relationship crying, making her sick.


Still vividly imagined in his memory the events of a few months ago when Widya was so blushed shy to accept his love. Admitting that he loved her so much.


Just now he was happy to hear Widya meet him, but now his heart was broken again because of his love was decided.


...***...



And finally broke up. Does anyone expect them to reverse?
