A Flick of Asa For Love
CHAPTER 72

...***...

Harsa is increasing the speed of Nathan's car. Seeing Nathan's condition that increasingly lost consciousness made him panic. “Nath, you need to stay sober!” Harsa turned several times to Nathan who had closed his eyes.

Tiin's! tiins!

Harsa several times pressed the horn on the steering wheel of the car. His focus was split between the streets and Nathan, who was still closing his eyes.

“Ck, Shit! Jam clock like this!” Harsa several times glanced at the small clock that coiled around her wrist. Time shows at 17:30 WIB.

“Near Magrib too. Edo should have come with me!” grouse Harsa.

“S-Sa, don't panic. Gu-gue is just lemes. I don't want to die,” Nathan said stammered as he was between conscious and unconscious.

“Hah, you can say so at a time like this,” cry Harsa. The other side of his hand moved touching Nathan's forehead which had let out a cold sweat. “Nath, hold! Soon until,” murmured Harsa. His hands were busy controlling the steering wheel of the car, his feet were controlling the speed of the car while his mouth was busy grumbling anything as long as Nathan's consciousness remained awake.

“Lo is also getting thinner. Actually you eat no, anyway!”

Nathan pulled a little corner of his lips, ”Gue was not unexpected, behind the attitude of cute lo it turns out you are still the same attention I, Sa,” Inner Nathan. Until the noise of the noisy vehicles slowly disappeared changing the silent atmosphere at Nathan's hearing. He is unconscious.

Harsa followed the parking lot when entering the hospital area. Several times he turned to Nathan who had fallen.

Harsa immediately steered the car in front of the IGD entrance. Two medics quickly prepare to bring a gurney and help Harsa get Nathan out of the car. In the next second, Edo and Zakir run after Harsa's steps, which had followed Nathan's gurney.

The sound of the gurney wheel followed by two medics and three human children who were over good looking, grabbing the attention of several people who crossed the hallway.

All three were forced to stop following officers' orders when the IGD door closed to take action. “You were supposed to come with my car, Do!” Harsa placed her index finger on Edo's shoulder.

“Why? Lo forgot? You were giving instructions to us!” Edo looked at Harsa who seemed to catch her breath that was heaving irregularly due to running around.

“Gue panics as soon as Nathan loses consciousness.” Harsa turned her head around looking for a seat.

The understanding Zakir immediately pulled Harsa's arm towards the seat on the side of the corridor. “Quiet first, Sa!” exciting Zakir. “O, yes, who has Nathan's number?” ask Zakir. Look at Harsa and Edo in turn.

For a moment they threw each other a glance. A moment later Harsa pulled out her flat object from her pants pocket. There was no sign of any of the three having family contact.

“We ask in a group? How?” zakir.

“Gue contact Widya aja,” sahut Harsa.

Zakir exhales and then directs the camera feature on Nathan, for him to send to whatsapp chat group 'friend forever'.

...***...

The voice of the adhan Magrib echoed not far from Widya's house. He was just picked up by Karin. He immediately said his greetings while turning the knob on the door leaf of his house.

“Assalamualaikum.” Widya said her greetings before passing through the family room. He rushed to the kitchen because there was no sign of his father or his mother there. There was no salutation yet to be answered. “Where to go, anyway? The door is unlocked, Dad's car is in the garage. Where are mom and dad?” monologue Widya.

Until he shifted his focus to the sound of a little noise upstairs. Widya then stepped up the stairs to the second floor.

Seeing the mother's room slightly open Widya tried to approach, then found the mother was removing the entire closet. While father walked here and there it is unclear.

“Mother sure sheath already washed, Father. Try, remember! Probably still left in the car because abis fishing a few days ago!”

Widya sighed and smiled entering her mother's room. “Assalamaicum. Hemm, because sarong until unconscious of his son came,” said Widya pretended to sulk.

“Eh, Baby. Waalaikumsalam,” suhut mother, “Apaihin mother, yes! Last time Dad had a fuss looking for his favorite holster, tuh.” Mother approached Widya and hugged her.

The father just smiled wryly at the ravings of his beloved wife. “New home, Son?” ask the father when Widya kisses the back of his hand.

“Where is today? Tumben went to college until this afternoon. By adzan Magrib.” Mother stroking dear arms Widya.

“Stay tidying up the script arrangement aja, Bun.”

“Aalhamdulillah's. A little more done, dong?" Arini smiled happily. "Yes, already. Shower and then pray! Mother wait below, yes!” mother's swift decree got a nod from Widya.

...***...

After showering and having dinner with her father and mother, Widya opened the side door of her house. Walk towards the fish pond with the soothing sound of water gurgling.

Long time he stayed there. He recalled the time Nathan and Harsa went fishing with Dad at the lake. A smile rose then slightly chuckled considering the events at the lake back then.

Then he sat on the lips of the pool. Pointing his head upward staring at the flickering star blinks alternately. “Nathan, why am I thinking to you tonight? Hope you're okay there. Sorry if I was too hard on you. It's just that I think this is the best,” said Widya.

His memories with Nathan suddenly spun just like that in his brain. Starting from their closeness when they were in High School, when Nathan was always there for him, when Nathan comforted him when he was heartbroken because of Harsa, and when they finally decided to be in love. Not to forget also all the quarrels that had occurred between him and Nathan also circled.

His heart was back in shock when he remembered all of that. The love in his heart did not fade in the least. Unfortunately all of that goes hand in hand with the wound that is still wet. “I miss you, Nath,” he said raucously.

A tear escaped just like that when the longing in his chest could not be contained. He hugged Nathan tightly. To let go of all the restlessness that is in the heart. “It's still possible for us to be together, Nath? While my wound is still not healed,” Widya murmured. He wiped away the trail of tears flowing down his cheeks.

...***...

The ringing of your phone on the refrigerator disturbs the owner's sense of hearing. Arini rushes to pick it up and receives a phone call that Arini knows from Karin.

“Aunty Night. Where is Widya going, Auntie? I'm calling, really, not active HP?” asked Karin after she said hello and got a reply.

Mother saw Widya who was still at home silent beside the fish pond owned by father. “Oh, the. Widya was looking for wind, too, near the pool. Why Karin?" ask Mommy.

“Em, the. Can Karin ask for help, Tan? Tell Widya to open a group chat. There is something important, Tan,” please Karin politely.

“Sure, Dear. Aunt tell Widya now.” Arini replied no less friendly.

“Previous, Tan. Assalamualaikum.”

“Waalaikumsalam.”

The phone call ended. Arini walked up to Widya who was sitting playing water in her father's fish pond. “Honey, just now Karin phone mother, he said your HP is non-active. Karin asks you to open a group chat, there is something important he said,” said mother after sitting on the lip of the pool.

Widya patted her forehead slowly. He forgot his cell phone because he was too engrossed in watching the free-swimming fish. “Then Widya up first yes, Mother.” Widya walked quickly to her room. “Why Karin does not talk directly to mother, anyway, if important,” grunya.

After arriving in the room, his hands deftly looking for flat objects that he usually always carry. I don't know why from after college last evening he forgot that thing a little bit.

“Uh, I can forget!” the grunts when the phone was found. When Widya consulted the lecturer she deliberately turned off the phone, of course the reason for fear of disturbing in the middle of her consultation.

How surprised he was, when hundreds of chat he received. Eight missed calls from Harsa and three calls from Karin. The focus is on 'friend forever' chat groups that show notifications of hundreds of unread chats.

The deg!

He saw a figure that he knew very well welcomed the sense of sight in the top chat in the chat room.

Nathan's figure is seen being closed with an infusion needle infiltrated on his right wrist in the photo. Her heart throbbed painfully looking at Nathan's portrait on her dress. His face looks more slender. The veins on the surface of his hands were partly a result of his weight loss.

“Nathan,” says Widya. Clear thread just escapes.

Next tomorrow, yes. Want to see Nathan first. byebye 👋
