A Flick of Asa For Love
CHAPTER 55

...***...

Cindy immediately contacted someone who had been helping her act to destroy Widya and Nathan's relationship. The breakdown of their relationship was enough to make him happy and he wanted to share his happiness with someone.

“Hai!” greet Cindy as soon as her phone is connected.

“Why, Cin?”

“Nathan really broke up with Widya, right?” Cindy still put on a face pretending not to know to confirm the truth of the news.

“It looks like anyway, yes. The proof is that they rarely meet, right?” The reply from his interlocutor made him laugh. A second later Cindy fell silent again when she did not get the same response.

“Where? Lo sings too, right?”

“Seneng, anyway. But, why am I so sorry, too, huh?”

Cindy rolled her eyeballs. “Continue? That mean we should back off? This is an opportunity for you. Use this opportunity well, Vin,” Cindy's advice as soon as she hears Vina's usual reaction. “Beautiful but slow!” he murmured in the heart.

Long inaudible answer from Vina, suddenly the phone connection was turned off unilaterally by Vina. “Sial! He could've killed my phone!” grouse Cindy. “If not for revenge, I ogah deket same lo!” Cindy growled in annoyance.

While Vina who got advice from Cindy immediately hung up. He doesn't not know what to do. During this time he did not stay silent to see Nathan's status had changed to single. He tried to comfort the broken-hearted man, but he always failed. Never mind entertaining, even his invitation is often ignored.

Actually, Vina felt sorry for Nathan's change which was like having no spirit of life after breaking up from Widya. But how else? It was all done so that he could regain Nathan's heart.

The existence of Cindy also helped launch his dream. It would not be wrong if he gave his number to Cindy when they met through social media.

Vina soon got out of bed, went out of her apartment and headed for Nathan's house. He should stay next to the man who needs attention.

“Tante, Nathan where?” vina asked Liana as soon as she reached Nathan's house. The woman who was relaxed while watching television was shocked by the presence of Vina. While Ellen and Evan are still focused on doing their duties beside Liana.

“Then every time you come here that Nathan mulu is looking for, Vin? Don't want to talk to auntie, do you? Mumpung aunty again free,” joked Liana.

Vina grimacing. “When, deh, Tan. Here I bring Nathan's favorite food.” Vina explained while displaying a box to give Nathan. “Nathan's in his room, right, Tan?”

Liana simply replied with a nod of her head. After Vina's departure, he shook his head. “Tante just look at it, Vin, how big are you trying to change Nathan's love. And according to aunty, it will be difficult to happen, because aunt never saw Nathan like this before in women,” muttered Liana, said, then again shifted its focus to television broadcasting news of the scarcity of cooking oil.

Vina walked back to Nathan's room. Many times he knocked on the door in front of him, but there was no reply from the occupants. Vina's getting upset. He tried to knock again and a man appeared who had been waiting for him. With his face down, he stood holding the door handle.

Her hair looks ruffled, with dark circles all over her eyelids. Using a black t-shirt that is already full of curves here and there. That guy looks pretty fucked up. Even so, it does not reduce the good looks on his face.

“What else, anyway, Vin? I males out.” Nathan said without opening his eyes, occasionally rubbing his non-itchy eyes.

“Kok, pack me?” Regardless of Vina's spoiled whimper, Nathan again closed the door.

“Nathan, I brought a cake from Widya's house!” cerocos Vina before the door in front of him was tightly shut. Even though it was just a lie, it succeeded in making the door that was originally almost closed back open, as well as the eyes that had been closed since.

Just hearing Widya's name, Nathan gets excited again. Nathan extended his hand. “Bring here!”

“No! You have to take a shower, I'll wait downstairs. We ate together with Aunt Liana too!”

Nathan let out his breath. “Wait under! Don't eat first!” threaten Nathan, then shut the door again. Vina smiled triumphantly. Just like this, Nathan wants to see him.

Vina was still waiting in front of the television with Liana, Evan, and Ellen. There was no serious conversation between them. Just commenting about the show being broadcast in front of them while occasionally laughing.

“Where's the cake?” Nathan's voice distracted everyone who was laughing.

“Wah, this is really mama's son?” Liana immediately approached Nathan and twisted her body.

“Abang looking handsome, deh!” It was the sound of the twins not wanting to lose. They also chimed in on her mother's jokes.

“Ma, I'm serious.”

The three of them eventually left Vina and Nathan alone. Nathan unceremoniously took the cake on the table and devoured it. “Laper what do you do, Nath?” Nathan did not respond to Vina's words. Over and over again he took the cake, even now it was almost toilet in Nathan's mouth.

“I want to talk about Widya.” Once again, Nathan was immediately speechless to hear Vina pronounce Widya's name. For a moment he stopped chewing the cake. Vina immediately put on a concerned face.

“Actually I feel sorry for Widya, Nath. He really still loves you. Maybe he did not accidentally do that same thing me, so do not blame him continue.” Vina glanced at Nathan's face that came back softly. “All women must be angry if humiliated in public. I would have done the same with Widya, if my boyfriend humiliated me. Although I am guilty, but that does not mean how to advise him in such a way.”

“He always thought our relationship was broken because of you, Vin. I knew it was Cindy. The woman who has always liked me. She was angry that I did not return her love, eventually trying to ruin my relationship. And now he is just using your presence.” Nathan rubbed his face in frustration.

Vina finally understood, why Cindy contacted him once she arrived in Indonesia. In fact, he forced to send his cell phone number even though they only knew each other at that time. Vina drew the conclusion if indeed he was used by Cindy. But it also gives him an advantage.

Vina doesn't care about Cindy's reasons. Most importantly Nathan would rather defend her than defend Widya, his own girlfriend. After all, Nathan already hated Cindy, so there was no reason for Nathan to glance at the woman.

“You need to explain to Widya, Nath. Who Cindy really is and what her goal is.”

“Already, Vin, but everything is free. Now, Widya no longer wants to hear anything I say. There is also Harsa. Argh!!” Nathan again ruffled his hair that had previously been neatly combed.

“Pattern, Nath! Maybe now Widya is still angry with you, but one day surely your relationship will be fine again. Widya just needs to calm down.” Vina calms Nathan down. Slowly, Nathan had started talking to Vina again.

“Still, Vin.” Vina simply responded to Nathan's words with a smile. The plan to get back to Nathan was a little open.

“I'm sure, slowly your heart will come back for me, Nath. Just waiting for the time to return our love as it used to be. Widya, you're just a temporary stopover for Nathan's love. Since I am his true love, Vina's inner” smiles triumphantly.

***

After a long time not going to campus, Nathan finally visited the campus to just entertain himself. He also hopes to meet Widya to be able to talk to her. Her longing was so stifling to the chest, even though there was Vina who always comforted her, but it did not quite treat her heart wound.

“I miss you, Yang,” muttered as she set foot in the parking lot. All the good memories on campus with Widya revolved around her memory so vividly. As they join hands, sharing jokes and laughter. His ignorant attitude that makes Widya upset and many other sweet memories that make it difficult to breathe.

“Hai, Nath,” greet someone he did not expect his presence. A sweet smile is for the man she once loved.

Nathan looked at Cindy sharply. Fires of anger flared in his eyes. His clenched hands firmly held back the emotions. “Lo's satisfaction has succeeded in misahin me with Widya?” Cindy just smiled sweetly in response to Nathan's question. “Gue surein, your life will not be calm from now on. And you need to know, this is all temporary. I'm sure Widya can be together again after your rottenness is revealed. You're the most goddamn girl I've ever known.” Nathan leaves Cindy after scolding her.

Cindy stared at Nathan's back. “Even after you broke up with Widya lo tetep ngehina me, Nath,” lirihnya. A tear escaped the corner of his eye, but he immediately wiped it off violently. “What I'm that bad in your eyes, Nath. Until there is only hatred in your eyes for me,” murmured again. There was still pain in his heart every time he heard harsh words coming out of Nathan's mouth, until he finally decided to go home.

***

Disappointment is crawling Nathan's heart. Because today he did not meet with Widya even though he had waited until three in the afternoon. Instead he met with Kartika and Karin who looked at him full of hatred. Nathan can understand the attitude of Karin and Kartika. Nathan decided to go home.

***

“I want to be alone, Vin. Please don't bother me!” he said as Vina welcomed his arrival at her home.

Vina's face that had been radiant became grim. He hadn't spoken yet, Nathan had locked his room. Although occasionally Nathan would talk to him, but his attitude is no longer the same as before. Nathan was so cold and didn't say much.

Vina even paid extra attention to Nathan. Starting from bringing Nathan's favorite food to ask about Nathan's condition every day through a short message, even though only read by Nathan without any reply, Vina did not break the charcoal. He tries to take Nathan back. He will try harder.

“Until when are you going to be like this, Nath? If you stay in the room, when will I get a chance to take your heart back?” inner Vina.

While Nathan in the room continues to look at his picture with Widya on his phone screen. His tears he let flow to reduce tightness in the chest. “I really can't without you, Yang. I miss you the same. Can't we get back together? I will follow all your wishes, including leaving Vina if it can make you sorry me,” monologue.

Satisfied lamenting his sudden gloom he remembered that he had to do something. Nathan quickly contacted someone.

“Gue has a job for you. Make the same calculation of the girl I sent the picture to. I don't want her life to be calm. But remember, stick to the limits!” his orders to the man across. After getting an answer Nathan disconnected the phone.

“Lo will be ruined my relationship with Widya, Cin,” he said full of anger.

...***...

For the first time I've seen Cindy as Vina's scapegoat. How are you guys? 😌
