My Ex
Chapter 1
Nadine had only noticed her cellphone that never rang, silent.
It has been 3 days without news from her lover Arka, actually their relationship has been a little tenuous this week is not as usual. This weekend only used Nadine to pay attention to her phone from morning until night.
“iss...bener deh” rfor him upset for the umpteenth time check his phone that never reads.
This past week has really made his heart very upset at the lover, how not, 2 weeks ago they were still dating as usual, he said, then go to work as usual and when the break time is still they use to talk together. However, when the shift changes, and Arka starts night work, Arka starts to change.
Who usually always accompany Nadine when every night always without absent bersfon ria until late at night, regardless of tomorrow Nadine still had to wake up early for work, for work, he ignored it just for the sake of his lover.
On Thursday he had time to doubt because the Arka who continues to ignore him, whatapp not reply, no phone, every phone he calls always turned off.
It's a shame to remember she cried just because of that, but that's how it is. Nadine longs for the sweet and romantic Arka to her.
Hari jum’at Nadine does not intend to go to work, she took the MC. And Nadine's disappointment, Arka did not question him at all, the man was silent. Though usually if Nadine MC, Arka will immediately question her assortment.
On Saturday, Nadine intended to silence Arka. He did not tell Arka at all what, until the night turned out Arka remained silent no news, making Nadine furious and wanted to hit the man right now.
On Sunday afternoon, Nadine was impatient. What's wrong with him until he's left like this? This is not normal at all, Nadine. Nadine was furious and immediately grabbed her phone and sent Arka a message on whatapp.
‘Arka...busy are you?’ nadine asked, he began to restlessly wait for Arka's answer which he thought was very long from ordinary minutes.
‘iya nih, again busy’ reply Arka, Nadine frowned confused. “gitu aja? Seriously?” muttered Nadine did not believe in Arka's reply.
‘already I did not bother anymore,’ reply Nadine annoyed, after not questioning the news and silence it for no apparent reason, is that the only answer?
‘iya, ok’ Arka short answer made Nadine wrathful, her frustration sticking out, making her throw her phone so upset.
“what the hell, after not telling you, now contacted, Only that's the answer? Seriously?” nadine growled in disbelief, this is outrageous. What the hell is it?, Nadine's mind is troubled.
Nadine again sent Arka spam whatapp, he did not remember maybe about 50 more messages he sent as a form of annoyance to Arka. Although he was sure, Arka would not read the message one by one. And sure enough, after a long time, the online arc and all the messages have been read with a blue reminisce. Nadine wondered what Arka would reply with all her messages.
‘waw, so much.sorry cave confused answer, so much, ntar malem cave telfon’.
That was Arka's reply to all of Nadine's messages. He also harrumphed and waited until Arka called and explained all the intentions of his silent action that made Nadine unsettled.
...
That night Arka really haunts him,
‘sorry Nadine, diemin lu cave, because the cave is tired of cooperation’ wrote Arka
Inwardly, Nadine was astonished. What a shame that makes an Ark so tired that it really silences it as if Nadine has made a big mistake.
‘tadi abis cave go to car place, rencara want to buy a new car, so the cave is busy, sorry.’ Nadine's phone rang again, Nadine was relieved, because yesterday-yesterday Arka had broadcast about buying a car.
‘ada who want cave bullshit too,’ this message makes Nadine a little riled up.
‘about what?’ reply Nadine
‘about us.’ Nadine sighed heavily, her feelings began to feel bad, every time Arka discussed ‘about us’ there will always be things that are not pleasant for Nadine.
‘about us? Wh why? You want to leave the cave?’ reply Nadine restless
‘can be..’.
Arka's reply made Nadine very agitated and unsettled, her heart racing faster than ever. What other cave? What's the matter?, restless his heart.
‘gua telfon yes, because tomorrow we can not meet, you work day and new cave behind dawn’ reply Arka, because it is Sunday night, Arka overtime night shift, Arka, and Nadine is in the apartment because Nadine always works lunch. Before long her phone rang loudly displaying Arka's name on her screen, Nadine nervously piped in Arka's call.
“ya hello?” said Nadine.
“hai, dear...how are you? Ok?” greeting Arka at the end there cheerfully, making Nadine confused, what the hell is it?
“lu want to say what ‘about us’?” ask Nadine to the point.
“oh..it...” voice Arka changed not as cheerful as her greeting.
“gua has spoken to mom, about us. Gua will invite you back to the village together, all know you and your family in the village,” continued Arka.
“ohh, yes...continue?” nadine replied curiously, honestly Nadine did not expect that Arka would actually invite her to meet her parents.
At first glance he remembered his last date when visiting Arka's sister outside the city, and they discussed this issue, as well as their marriage ceremony at a glance. Even though they have only been in a relationship for a few months, they already feel good about each other, and comfortable with each other, make them not want to procrastinate to go to a more serious level. Moreover, Arka's mother had begun to ask about the marriage Arka wanted to be done as soon as possible.
“tadi cave fitting in car place, mom nelfon. Pas has been chatting for a long time he said ‘whatain you buy a car? Mending the money was sent just here for the wedding fee kamu’ he said so..” Arka begins the story, Nadine silently listened to what Arka said by raising the volume on her phone.
“cua just ‘bun, can you later ebaran Back Arch bring temen?’ keep him on ‘temen? A male? Can you do it anyway?’ keep the cave honest, ‘temen women bun’ well after the cave said that, mom directly diem long, do not know why.” Arka silent for a moment, Nadine began to be wary of listening to the story of Arka, Nadine began to squeeze the tip of her pajamas with a huff.
“and suddenly mom says gini..’loh kok women anyway? How's your boyfriend staying here? He has been waiting for you a long time.’ keep the cave confused want to explain how, even though the same cave girl was finished, and yesterday the cave sepet still waiting for him to return to the cave, the cave realized as well. If he did not respond to the cave at all again, and when the cave met with you, and the cave is already a pity already comfortable. Gua sense it's time for the cave to open a new sheet equal lu.” Clearly Arka at length.
Nadine's breath was choked instantly, she explained her mother still considered her son's relationship was not finished with the woman. Nadine's golden at the end of her pajamas grew stronger, her heart was completely agitated, she was at a loss to say what to respond to Arka's explanation.
Understand Lah he is now, Arka silenced it turns out the woman's problem.
A few moments ago, Arka had told me about the woman, Clarissa her name. She is the last ex-Arka, and Arka herself had blatantly told that she was still waiting for Risa to return to her, because she still wished on the woman.
Naturally, because he was very in love with his ex-lover. They separated because of the unilateral decision of the woman, who because her father did not approve of them, even until her father died of illness.
While the rest of Clarissa's family is very supportive of their relationship, Arka still wants to be with her if the girl does not leave her unilaterally. And the problem is, they separated without being recognized by both sides of his family. Nadine understood why Arka's mother's answer was so with her son's request that it was sudden.
“Nadine?” call Arka disperse Nadine's daydream in shock with Arka's story just now.
“lu is still there right?” arka said making sure Nadine was listening at the end of the phone,
“iya, denger cave, keep?” nadine replied lethargic, she knows now. Nadine no longer has a place for Arka.
“gua confused how now,” honest Arka, sounding sigh heavy breathing
Nadine went silent digesting what Arka was telling her.
Just now that they were happy, and had taken the intention of being more serious about their relationship, all of a sudden this happened. Nadine's head felt hit so hard, felt dizzy and heavy. Nadine has given all her heart to Arka, all her affection, and she really believes in Arka will stay with her, although Arka had said ‘still waiting for her back’.
Nadine doesn't care.
The silence is quite long on the phone, making the atmosphere more awkward. Nadine let out a long sigh and opened a voice breaking the silence between them.
“already, how are you? Do you want to turn Rissa around? Do you still love him? Let the cave retreat, the cave feels there is no more place for the cave and our relationship begins to be unhealthy, let the cave is defeated,” Nadine's answer successfully makes Arka dead tick.
“but Nadine...gua dear same you..please..” voice Arka so resigned do not know what he had to say again to reply Nadine.
“terus how? You still want to be with him, and your parents still think you are not separated, your family has known you for a long time, you are also a hometown, and, while the same cave..?” nadine answered a little emotionally.
“answered cavern Ka, you still hope the same woman?” nadine urged, but there was no answer from Arka. Nadine exhales violently, starting to get fed up with her own romance story.
“you better continue with him, if the same cave. You have to start all from zero, and it will be hard again Arka.” replied Nadine.
“who said it was hard? Can ko, um why if you have to start all from the beginning?” arka couldn't take Nadine's words.
“lu don't understand the feeling of the cave? The cave has tried to hold and believe in you if we can make everything okay, but if so how? Cave request break.” Nadine said desperately, she felt there was no more opportunity for her, she felt it was just a barrier between Arka and Clarissa.
Arka shocked by Nadine's last words, her finger began to sweat. Arka's getting nervous now.
“sayang..” call Weak Arch
“gua is not your love anymore, we have broken up and the cave already understands the situation, please do not make it all the more difficult, the cave is also tired Ka, you still have not moved on from him, you still have not moved on from him, if he returns with you, the cave will be left? Cave is not a backup player that can be made if the main player is injured.” Nadine could not resist her emotions that began to impatiently face Arka.
“but cave dear same you, Nadine”
“and you also love Clarissa.” Reply Nadine quickly, making Arka silent can not reply.
“we have broken up, please understand our position, if you are still afraid he ga nerima lu, let the cave contact him and ask if he still wants to reverse with you,”
“Nadine please, don't sell it..”
“close the phone, gua reckon we have nothing to talk about again, thanks to the explanation,” said Nadine firmly ignoring the Arka protest.
“sayang...” call Arka very slim.
“ga need to call baby, we have BROKEN!” Nadine firmly.
“hhggg yaudah if it wants you, but the cave can't close the phone, cave is afraid you don't want the cave phone again after this.” Arka surrendered, agreeing with Nadine.
Without warning, Nadine closed her phone connection, her heart is in a storm right now. He did not cry at all, but felt very angry.
Angry with her who so easily gave heart to Arka, angry at Arka who did not try to defend herself at all again, angry at the situation that resulted in her having to part with Arka. Nadine squeezes her phone hard, and Arka keeps sending her messages.
‘Arka apologizes to Nadine’
‘gust yourself well’
‘may Nadine be healthy always, do not forget to eat, do not be late to sleep’
And none of the messages that Nadine replied to, he immediately deleted Arka's contact from his phone. His heart is hot now.
Nadine thought for a moment, then looked for the screenshot that Arka had sent to her, clearly stated the contents of Clarissa's message along with her cellphone number. Nadine copied the no then sent him a short message.
‘hai, this is Clarissa?’
.....
‘hai, this is Clarissa?’
....
Long Nadine waited for a reply, see the contact's profile photo. Just a cartoon picture on display there, making Nadine curious. What the hell is his face that Arka calls ‘cantik’. Suddenly remembered his conversation with Arka first.
“whose name is?” nadine asked curiously because Arka told the woman with great admiration.
“name's Clarissa”
“the name is beautiful,” praise Nadine sincerely, Arka smiles shyly.
“iya, the person is also beautiful.” Answer Arka honestly
Nadine grunted as she remembered it.
Should ya praise the ex in front of his new lover?, inner Nadine did not accept with that memory.
The tring!
A message came in, Nadine impatiently immediately unlocked the screen.
To: Clarissa
‘iya this is Rissa, who is this?’
Nadine bit her lips in doubt. Between replying or not, but his heart was very curious, actually how Arka's relationship with this woman. Jemari Nadine immediately typed a reply.
‘hai, my name is Nadine, I'm her friend Arka.’ Nadine waited for his reply impatiently.
‘oh hi Nadine, yes what is it?’ friendly too, Nadine thought.
‘ada what I want to ask, you're Arka's ex?’ Nadine was silent for a moment, then deleted her message back. Too frontal, he thought.
To: Clarissa
‘ada I want to ask, you used to have a relationship with Arka, Arka had told you to me the other day’
Nadine is devoted to herself who has meddled in the affairs of others just because she is curious. Stupid Nadine is wrong.
To: Clarissa
‘emm, why yes? Are you Arka?’
Nadine rolled around in a mattress to eliminate her nervousness about her risky actions. Nadine is not a girl who likes to cook other people's affairs, but she is the feeling type. Nadine again typed a reply message.
‘I'm a close friend of Arka, yesterday she said she still loves you, but she doubts if you still want to go back to her,’
‘pity Arka she's confused whether to do what’
‘do you still love him?’
‘what if he takes you seriously?’
Nadine is constantly texting Clarissa. His heart raced harder, between fear and curiosity with the answer Clarissa would give. Soon his phone rang a few times.
To: Clarissa
‘doesn't we have discussed, why Arka is still confused’
Nadine read Clarissa's reply in great confusion, ‘have been discussed?’ Nadine was confused and pensive with an answer she thought was ambiguous. In his brain is already imagined, what all this time Arka lied to him that they had not been in touch for a long time.
Then it means ‘has been discussed’ what?
To: Clarissa
‘to be honest, I also want to live with him, accompany him to old age.’
YOOOOOO!!!!!
Nadine's heart was broken already reading that reply. If indeed he wants why he sends a message that says Arka is better looking for another woman, what max? This all confused Nadine.
Clearly he read for himself the contents of the screenshot message sent by Arka. She read for herself what Clarissa's message was about Arka. It is clearly written...
‘we have no relationship anymore, you better find another woman, goodbye Arka’
Nadine again saw the screenshot, and it's true, even she saw the date, about 3 weeks ago from today. Nadine feels strange with Clarissa, if she really wants to why not say YES and even say such painful things, continue now she wants to lick her own saliva so? Disgusting.
Nadine's heart was turbulent, she was starting to dislike Clarissa. Suddenly an incoming message appeared on his phone.
To: Clarissa
‘why are you asking that? You're not his friend, are you?’
Nadine fell silent, then replied...
‘I'm her boyfriend, but it's broken up because I know she still loves you, and hope to come back, we're not in a long relationship, and we're not too serious. You can take him back’
Nadine no longer serves Clarissa she's quite fed up with this woman, she doesn't understand this same cave chick. Inner Nadine.
He screenshots Clarissa saying ‘to be honest, I also want to live with him, accompany him to old age.’
Then send it to Arka.
To: Arcs
‘oke congratulations yes, you guys come back again, do not fight again, get along with him, the cave has already given up, instead the cave asked for in the ice bucket this weekend.’
Nadine sighed heavily, digesting what I had done. His love story is over. He stared at his phone which was still on showing Arka's reply to him.
‘oke this weekend cave treat lu ice bucket’
Nadine didn't reply, she closed her eyes.
Nadine wasn't crying at all, she was empty, everything felt so fast, she just broke up right? Aye?
Over the night Nadine continued to make upset states sounding disappointment in whatapp but her Arka which she allowed to read the statuses she made. It all sounds so sad. All read Arka without missing one.
2am.
Nadine was still awake and not letting go of her phone, she read all her old chat with Arka, as if she could not believe it had all ended like this. Slowly his eyes warmed up and began to water, he cried in silence. Just 3 drops of tears and instantly he wiped away as soon as it came down from his eyes. Phone's vibrating.
From: Arka
‘already, Nadine.rest, tomorrow work. Take care of health, do not stay up late’
Nadine just read the message without intending to reply, she knew tomorrow she would go to work and Arka just came home from work, it was natural that Arka was still awake because she was working night.
Until 5 am, Nadine was still awake, she chose to take a shower and prepare for work after she made her status.
‘evening can not sleep, lagsung work go go’.
After he took a shower, he checked his phone again, there were 3 new messages from Arka.
‘ga need to work, you rest aja’
‘healthcare Nadine’
‘awas aja if you work’
Nadine read Arka's message with a blank look. His head was heavy and he did not know what to think.
To: Arcs
‘ga need to worry, ga ga papa,gua left for work first’
After Arka read the message, the man called Nadine, but she had no intention of arguing with him this morning. His energy was up for him to think all night about his relationship that had just ended.
***
While at work, Nadine deliberately avoids Arka's revision, she does not want to see him for the next few days, but usually he is always busy looking for Arka. The path was so lunglai powerless, his gaze was blank. The cheerful Nadine now looks like an undead man walking to the canteen for breakfast.
His heart is numb.
He looked at the menu of the canteen without taste, then took a plate and scooped a barrel of fried rice, he thought for a moment and returned half the contents of the plate because it felt too much. Portions are very few. Some of his friends looked at him in wonder. Even the cashier looked at him in confusion.
Nadine ignored people's gazes at her, she was just as always uninspired to make a move this morning, let alone for work. If only allowed, he wanted mager in the room while lamenting himself because of his love story that ran aground last night, but unfortunately he just remembered jum’at yesterday he just MC, but unfortunately, so you can call the boss if this Monday he's the MC again.
“morning Ka Dine!” greet a young employee sitting in front of Nadine while putting a plate of fried rice. Nadine did not return her greeting at all, making her astonished.
“heh! Early in the morning have daydreamed, eat it chewed instead of diliatin.” His protest was none other than Erika, Nadine's younger brother who was one division with him.
Nadine only smiled as if to return Erika's greeting, then feed a spoonful of rice reluctantly.
“Astagfirullah...! Brother Dine why? Sick? I'm rich in the undead..” peekik Erika see the condition of Nadine's concern.
Dull face, makeshift appearance, even though Erika knows that Nadine is a sweet woman who always looks very fresh in the morning. But it's different this morning.
“gua abis broke up,” great-grandson Nadine almost inaudible, but Erika heard it very clearly made her choke in shock, because she knew her own romantic match Nadine with Arka. With nothing to play with.
“seriously? Ah kidding.kemarin just met sister-in-law,” said Erika after drinking and relieve her cough, making sure that what she heard was wrong.
“serious, cave break semalem. He turned back with his ex in the village,” explained Nadine
Erika did not comment again, it was very clear she was in shock until her spoon dropped making her gawk at Nadine's answer.
Erika knows how their relationship is, even Erika knows that Arka has a former Clarissa, but she does not expect that Arka came back with Clarissa and let her best friend look like an undead like this, pathetic indeed.
Nadine lost her appetite after 2 mouthfuls entered her mouth, Erika no longer commented, yes know how the feeling of Nadine who is chaotic now.
“gua first,” without waiting for Erika's answer, Nadine woke up and immediately entered the workplace, she threw away the leftovers on her plate that seemed like she did not eat at all.
8a.c
After the morning meeting, all returned to the position where he worked, Nadine began to work very unfocused. The road was very slow as if if he was knocked down he would fall unconscious.
“Nadine, are you sick?” ask Herman the leader in his vision. Nadine just smiled and raised her thumb as if saying ‘ok bos’.
“if you are still sick, MC only again,” said Herman as he passed.
To be honest Friday’at day that he was not really sick, he just annoyed at Arka and pretended to be sick, he sought Arka's attention. In contrast to this moment, he was really sick. Not his physique, but his heart that was numb from having been broken last night.
As long as he worked all his memories with Arka he could not control, all his sweet memories flashed and circled one by one as if an old film that played automatically in his head.
Everything is so clear, when Arka every day always greet him and take the goods in his place for him to check every morning shift. He remembered everything, his heart was breaking. Feel the anger and hatred that sticking up his crown.
“ya Allah..I am heartbroken, please take my heartache on the woman beyond my pain now,” Nadine fights on her Lord very seriously.
Nadine felt unacceptable with the woman's answer last night that seemed to lick her own saliva, she was hurt with Arka who let go just like that. He asked for justice from his Lord.
***
That afternoon Nadine as usual sat in the gazebo of the back garden, where she and Arka used to spend the afternoon before overtime until night. Nadine opened the whatapp and again made the status-states upset, poured out her feelings of disappointment and annoyance to Arka, and all always read Arka.
The tring!!
An incoming message appeared on his phone.
From: Arka
‘don't be so Nadine, cave apologies’
Reply Arka saw the act of Nadine who sulked at whatapp status, Arka understood very well with Nadine. Nadine did not reply at all, she instead changed her black profile photo turned into a picture of Nadine-Arka smiling at each other facing the camera. Nadine knew she no longer had the right to display her picture, but she still wanted to. He remembered that Arka liked this photo, good he said.
***
At night after work, Nadine felt very homesick with Arka, she could not help but contact Arka. He began to type a message.
To: Arcs
‘Ka..’.
Nadine waited for an answer, a few seconds later her phone vibrated.
‘ya? Why Dine?’
It felt a little awkward when Arka said her name again, Nadine used to call it affectionately. Nadine thought for a moment to reply.
‘lu already better with Clarissa?’ ask him base
‘udah’ Arka's short answer made her heart ache.
‘how do you feel? Are you relieved?’ ask Nadine.
‘hmm, slightly. Thanks yes,’ Nadine froze read the message, thanks? Because it broke up with the cave?. Nadine's inner wriggle.
‘gua tetep affectionate with you, Nadine.’ Arka's second reply made Nadine tremble, her heart started to beat.
‘gua is also still dear to you,’ Nadine replied with a ambiguous heart.
‘i love you’ Nadine boldly sent that sacred message to Arka, long enough no reply. Nadine was so embarrassed, she shouldn't have sent that message again. Die, nadine's great-grandson to himself.
Before long a reply to a message vibrating the phone he held.
From: Arka
‘wah..gua can not bales that message again, later Clarissa angry to gua’
BLAARR!!!!!!
Nadine's heart burned for a while, for the umpteenth time she cursed her stupid act. His pride is injured.
.....
