A Flick of Asa For Love
CHAPTER 68

...***...

Vina awoke from her sleep as the sun seemed to crawl up at its highest point. He can fall asleep after a night of not being able to do it. Remembering Exel's words, at least made his heart slightly open. He was calmer and could close his eyes.

Vina who had managed to collect her life who had traveled in the mortal world, immediately rushed to prepare herself. Performing a ritual of self-indulgence before he was about to leave. Vina was about to go to meet someone. Someone who has made his sleep rations reduced.

After half an hour of dressing up, Vina came out wearing more polite clothes. Dusty pink shirt with three-quarter sleeves, combined with long span pants white bone. He took the online taxi he ordered.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Excuse me!" The sound of knocking on the door was accompanied by the cry of Vina in front of the door of someone's house. A few minutes Vina stood up, the door opened and showed Widya's figure.

"You? What are you going to do here?" widya asked who was surprised by Vina's arrival to her house.

Vina smiled thinly. "I want to talk to you" said Vina.

Widya scrunched her forehead. Putting a face on alert for the presence of a cunning girl like Vina.

"You don't have to be afraid! I'm here to talk good with you. About ... problem I'm with Nathan. At once ... I want to apologize to you." Vina hesitated. His tongue felt faint to beg for Widya's forgiveness. His mistakes were too many and cruel. She was afraid that Widya would not forgive.

"Come in!" take Widya a little forced. Although the annoyance still dominates his heart, but he must not ignore the guests who come to visit his house. The guest said the king.

"Sit down, and wait a minute! I'll get you a drink first."

"No need, Wid. I'll just be a minute, all right."

Widya undoes her intentions, then sits alone in the living room chair of her home. "What are you talking about?" ask Widya firmly.

"You haven't answered my apology. You must hate me so much, huh? I'm really sorry, Wid. You want to forgive me, right? And .. I want you back with Nathan."

Widya smiled faintly at Vina's words. What's wrong with that girl? Is the sweet mouth still lacking sugar? So he had to say sweet in front of Widya. Too often Widya heard Vina pouting sweet words that ended tragically. He was tired of crying.

"What do you want to do again? Aren't you tired of torturing yourself? Now you have what intentions? If you want to jump in the ocean or skydive from a tall building, I don't care. Please take Nathan's heart! Don't involve me anymore!" widya said sharply.

"It's not so, Wid. I'm really sorry. You have to believe! I promise to leave after this. After making sure you're happy with Nathan."

Widya was speechless, looking at Vina with an astonished look. Trying to dive into Vina's eyes to look for lies there. Unfortunately, he could not find it. "What causes you to say something like this?" widya asked with a hint of trust.

Vina lowered her head, trying to hide the glittering clear glint in the corner of her eye. Although in the end the sparkle managed to drip on his lap.

"I'm bad, Wid. I realized I was too obsessed with Nathan. I did love him before I met Exel. My pain of being betrayed by Exel made me want to love Nathan back. I don't even care about his feelings right now. Nathan's changed, he doesn't love me anymore. You're the only girl he loves" Vina said, wiping away the increasingly heavy tears streaming down her cheeks.

"He still loves you very much, Wid. It was all my fault, not Nathan's. He's just too good, and—"

"Nathan did that because he cares about you. That means there's still room in his heart for you. Don't waste it, Vin. That's, right, what you want?" Widya cut Vina's words. Again his words succeeded in touching Vina's heart. His scathing words were already like a mercon that was ready to spout fire to burn Vina's heart.

"You're wrong, Wid. Nathan did that because he still thinks of me as a friend. Not more. We grew up together since childhood, probably a brother-like feeling that made Nathan always forgive my mistakes all along. But this time it was different. Nathan won't forgive me anymore ...." Vina spilled her tears.

Widya let out a rough sigh, then stood up. "All right, I'll think again. Maybe you've spoken enough. I'm tired, I'm gonna take a break." Indirectly Widya expels Vina from her home.

Vina looked up, looking at Widya with her eyes open. He also stood up, then grabbed Widya's hands and held them tightly. "But you want to forgive me, right?" please again.

Widya nodded with a smile, "Yes, I'm sorry for you" he said sincerely.

Vina immediately rushed to hug Widya's body. Her crying broke even harder behind Widya's back. Widya slightly distanced her head trying to save her eardrum from the cry of a Vina. Slowly Widya pushed Vina's body away from her.

Vina stopped crying, though still as hiccupped with the rest of her tears. "I'm going home first, yeah, Wid. Thank you for apologizing to me. Please, think back to my words! Go back to Nathan! I can't bear to see her destroyed because of losing you" said Vina, hoping Widya changed her mind.

Widya did not respond. He was still trembling as he stared at Vina leaving. When he was going back to his room. The arrival of the mother made her steps faltered. It turned out that Arini also listened to all the explanations of Vina.

"How, Honey? Would you consider your relationship with Nathan?" ask Arini curiously. It is undeniable, he believes in Vina's explanation, because Arini can feel the earnestness of Nathan's love for his son.

"I don't know, Bun. I was confused" Widya replied.

"Whatever your decision, you will always support it. What matters is that you're happy."

Widya hugged Arini's body tightly. Feel the warmth of a mother's affection so great. "I'll go to the room first, yeah, Bun. I didn't go to college today. My head feels a little dizzy."

"Well then, get enough rest, baby! Don't forget to take the medicine! Mother get the cure first, yeah." Arini was about to step in to take the drug, but the ban was done, because it was detained by Widya.

"No need, Bun. I just need to get some sleep. Last night I slept late, because I had to redesign the thesis revision from the supervisor," Widya said.

Arini rubbed the top of her son's head gently. "Yes, go to sleep, son!" tell Arini while rubbing Widya's head full of affection.

Widya returned to her room with a sense of uneasiness. Vina's words kept spinning in her head. Is it true that Nathan was so tormented by parting with himself? And should he be willing to re-knit his relationship with Nathan for the umpteenth time?

Forgive me, don't you? 🤔

How do you think?
