CHAPTER 20

“Hei...Oi...Nana...Stop!” Winda had just saved Nania's meatball bowl from pouring almost half a bottle of ketchup into it. “Sadar...Nan...Conscious..”

Nania jerks.

“Ha??...Oh sorry!” Nania was shocked to see the contents of her meat bowl had turned red due to her carelessness, pouring the sauce while daydreaming.

“Nania, Why?” tanya Winda while removing the bottle of sauce from Nania's hands and put it away – away from Nania, they can be purchased by the meatballs later because they have thrown away – throw half a bottle of sauce for free. “From yesterday I saw you daydreaming..”.

“Definitely daydreaming Fairro again.. “celtuk Lusy spontaneous. But Winda immediately nudged Lusy to be quiet because he saw Nania's eyes glazed over.

“Nan, I know you are sad, but do not continue – this way, please?...I'm sure there's a way out..” Winda tried to comfort Nania.

“Iya, Nan...Let's just say Maya...That auntie centil...After all she is not pregnant because of – because of that...Well at least not yet...So I guess you can still keep going with Fairro..” said Lusy while thinking – think.

“Gue can't do that...Can't..” Nania's voice quivered as she tried to hold back a cry that was already almost – almost unstoppable.

How much Nania really wanted to follow the word – said Lusy, but his conscience said it could not, it did not feel like he kept going with Fairro while Mbak Maya suffered because of the incident...Well...Although...Even if it was Maya herself...But still...Her conscience as a fellow woman makes Nania can't help but think about Maya...Oh my God, how should I? Should her love for Fairro end just like that because of Maya?...Lord, Nania is insinuated again, I do not know until when I can survive in this painful condition.

At that time Abi came to their table and sat beside Nania. The young SMU student ordered one bowl of meatballs.

“Nania?” Abi was stunned to see Nania's grim face. “Kok lo looks sad so? What's up?...Ooh yaah's...It must be because of that Fairro jerk again right?”

Winda's leg kicked Abi's leg under the table.

“Abi, stop...Don't start again..” hiss Winda, but Winda's warning seems to be a waste – in vain.

“All because – because brother lo!” Nania could not hold back her tears anymore.

“My sister?? Why is my brother being blamed?? My brother is precisely one of Fairro's victims!” refute Abi immediately. “Nania, please? Why are you still blinded by your feelings?? Awake, Nan! Look who Fairro really is! Fairro is a child of the devil! Magician! Fairro does not deserve lo!”

“Lo is so evil, Bi! So glad to talk like that!” Nania said between her tears.

“Nania...I'm talking like that because of me...Because I love the same lo...” Abi said in an almost inaudible voice.

“What?” Nania gasps, Winda is wide-eyed and Lusy drops her meat spoon to hear that.

“Ya Nania, I love you...Everything I've done all this time is just because I love you..” Abi looked at Nania straight – straight, her attitude half defiant. “Dan...Someday you will know that I...If I could be better than Fairro, the sorcerer!”

“Abi..” Nania can't say – words.

Abi standing.

“Ya already!” The young SMU student turned and left just like that leaving his girlfriend – friends who were stunned to look at him, leaving the meatballs who had just come to deliver an order of Abi meatball noodles, dumbfounded – dumbfounded to see Abi not to eat.

On the way home, in Winda's car, Nania cries again making Winda and Lusy worried to see her. Nania never thought that Abi turned out to have more feelings for her, all this time she just thought Abi was her close friend just like Winda and Lusy. The girl did not expect Abi to love her at all. It's only fitting that Abi has always been jealous whenever he's with Fairro.

Nania asked to be dropped off in front of the burial gate where her mother's grave was located. By ourselves. Nania did not want to be accompanied by Winda and Lusy at that time, although her friend – was worried about her. His sadness and grief made Nania want to go to see her mother alone, although she knew, true – know, if the mama she wanted to meet was only a mute tomb. But Nania no longer knew who she had to pour out the sorrow and grief that had stifled her mind, the sadness and turmoil about Fairro...About Abi...Oh, why do all his – guy friends make him sad?

The burial ground was so quiet that afternoon. Only the sound of the wind that shifts – sliding tree leaves make goosebumps for those who pass under it. Nania's step stopped not because of the sound of shifting leaves that were exposed to the wind, but because the violin that sounded so soft and smooth said – dayu in the middle of the land. Fairro! Nania held her mouth. His heart thumped when he saw Fairro himself standing up, swiping his violin in front of the graves of his adoptive parents.

Nania's tears melted again. That's...It's Mi Mancherai (Il Postino) by Josh Groban. Ta's...But why did Fairro play the song in such a sad way? Nania silent – silent sobbing. The song feels like slicing – slicing his heart. The song sounds so heartbreaking! Oh my...Is that how Fairro feels now?

Nania was about to run away, leaving the burial ground, she did not want Fairro to notice her presence there. He will not be able to if he has to face the look of – ash eyes Fairro ash, will not be able to, look at the ash eyes – ash that lately always looks injured every time Nania looks at him. He won't be able to!

“Nania...” the call made Nania's move standstill. The girl turned around, seeing that Fairro had stopped playing the violin and was staring at her. Nania did not know whether this was just her feeling or not, Fairro looked so miserable, as soon as the nelangsa stood with the violin in her hand there, looking at Nania with her gray eyes, his ashes, it was as if Nania had not seen him for a long time. The curly haired girl could not take it anymore.

“Fairro!!” Nania ran over to hit Fairro and hugged the young man tightly – tightly making Fairro's violin fall. “Fairro...Fairro...I can't keep like this – channel, I can't separate from lo...I can't..”

Nania's tears flooded down Fairro's clothes.

“Mbak Maya's parents demanded that I marry Mbak Maya...They have planned my wedding with Mbak Maya.” said Fairro slowly making Nania sobbing.

“Ja...So what about us??” asked Nania between her tears. “Should...Should our relationship break up??”

Fairro did not answer, for a long time he did not answer, as if he no longer knew how to answer Nania's question.

Until it gets dark, Nania is still with Fairro. The two sat on the edge of Fairro's foster parents' grave without speaking, just staring at each other, holding hands, as if their minds were already unable to contain their grief, she said, it was as if there was nothing more to talk about, as if everything was dead-end and dark.

“Fairro..” Nania finally opened her voice after a long time of silence. “Definitely very happy if we can go far to a place where we do not have to think about Maya...To a place where no one can separate us.”.

Fairro looked at Nania with – ash eyes that were as clear as that crystal.

“Nania..” Fairro slow talking – slow. “Lo...Believe me??”

Nania replied to Fairro's view in surprise.

“Ya, why?” Nania asked back.

Fairro kissed Nania on the forehead gently before she stood up.

“Tomorrow, yuk?” Fairro extended his hand in front of Nania.

“Tomorrow where, Fairro?” ask Nania wonder.

“Go somewhere far away as you want..” sahut Fairro made Nania surprised.

“Fairro? Do you realize what you said?”

“Ya..”

“But where?”

“Ya anywhere...Hm...You have a passport, right?”

Nania just stared at Fairro with her heart pounding.
