My Ex
Chapter 8
‘ok, we die, where is God...T-T’
...........
Nadine looked around, waiting for the next train to arrive restlessly. The battery of her phone is already flushed. The remaining power 10%. Nadine deactivated her phone.
“laper me,” chirps April,
“nih, my beans are still a lot,” Nadine offers boiled beans that she had bought this afternoon.
“thanks,” they also spent boiled beans while waiting for the train.
“eh, silly yes us, fortunately I realize if we are wrong train, if you do not realize it can stray far,” said Nadine with horror,
“iya yes wkwkwkwk, there is aja, uh kemaleman nih kanya,” April glanced at the watch in his hand, he said,
“fate deh nyampe home can be middle of the mallnih,” comments Nadine.
The atmosphere was completely quiet, making both of them nervous. There was not long a Chinese man sitting on the bench next door. Nadine glanced at April with a huff.
“tensely, still a long time ya train?” Nadine glanced at the notice board, still 48 minutes before the train came.
Nadine glanced at April who was cool listening to the song in her earphones. Though April had started to get sleepy, several times she yawned.
“for sleepy me, still a long time huh? I slept first huh,” April started closing my eyes and leaning against the pole next to her.
“ga I will wake you if the train dateng,” threatened Nadine who does not want to be left asleep.
But April stayed asleep too,
“fine, I was alone and starting to bosen,” he glanced at his dead phone, Nadine several times saw the train tracks that remained quiet. He began to worry about whether the train would come or not.
Nadine began to recite a few short letters in the Qur’an and repeatedly recited to fill the void of time. It was April who had fallen asleep. He cleaned up the rest of the pea skin scattered on his feet.
From far away he saw a light shining straight into the station. The voice of the operator was heard indicating the arrival of the train that was about to arrive.
“Alhamdulillah, Pril, oii wake up!!” Nadine enthusiastically wakes up April, and soon pulls out a still-half-conscious April once the car door opens.
“danaaaa iniiiiiiii...” tanya April is still collecting lives. Nadine accompanied him to sit down immediately.
“injury,” replied Nadine of origin.
He was glad the train finally arrived in time. He glanced at April who resumed her sleep peacefully. Nadine just shook her head looking at April who was already helplessly covered.
Nadine reached into her pocket, looked at her dead phone and brought it back to life. Soon his phone vibrated several times. He opened whatapp, Nadine twitching confusedly.
From: Arka
‘hei, where are you?’
‘can you return ga? Duh..’
‘who's there?’
‘kalo can't go back to my phone,’
‘gue phone yes,’
Nadine sees there are 3 miscall of Arka.
‘wow what is it?’
Nadine: you why? I got it wrong, got on the train.
Silent for a moment, Nadine looked out the window watching the lights outside.
Drrrr...
Arka: ko can be wrong train, where are you now?
Nadine: otw back, you why it's so glaring, wonder me, wonder me,
Arka: worry.
Nadine: ooooohhhh, can you still worry about me?
Arka: it's whispered, baby.
Nadine surprised not to play with reply Arka. ‘ joking, my heart.’
Arka: if I'm home, I know me,
Nadine's heart was pounding rapidly. He hurriedly turned off his phone. Strange it feels when ‘mantan’ still cares and ah already.
Nadine stroked her chest that was still beating irregularly. It feels like he wants to throw Arka from the highest cliff so anxious.
***
At midnight, Nadine arrived at her room. He immediately took a shower and changed into clothes in his pajamas. His eyes glared at the ceiling of the room. It feels like lying down is also very strange.
“what do you mean?” he remembered the message of Arka.
Nadine fell asleep unsettled, several times she woke up until the dawn of Adhan reverberated. He immediately got up and prepared for work.
***
As usual, Nadine sat in the cafeteria enjoying her breakfast. His sleepy eyes suddenly opened wide as Arka passed in front of him and said something that had not been caught by his ears because it was too sudden.
Nadine was still dumbfounded to see Arka suddenly passing by.
“what the hell is that? Ngagetin aja shit,” umpatnya later.
Nadine immediately finished her breakfast because soon the bell will ring soon. He immediately went to his workplace and got ready.
Everything went as usual. Normal. At least until before Arka came to take the sample.
“semalem back what time?” ask Arka as soon as you finish taking the sample.
“midnigth,” reply Nadine without a single glance,
“other times if you go home do not be late, ga good women outside malem-malem,”
“who you pretentious care,” Nadine slammed upset,
“temen youah,” Arka answer like a dagger that pierced right in the heart of Nadine.
Nadine had opened her mouth to protest but Arka had already left her place while waving her hand. Nadine squinted her eyes at him with hatred.
‘friend? Huh!’
Nadine's murmuring doesn't take it. Somehow he felt pain when Arka answered that one word lightly. Unknowingly he squeezed firmly into the map in his hand.
“woi kak, working.mapnya not in remes that,” Erika's speech made Nadine aware.
He took a slow breath. During work, Nadine is very difficult to focus. Arka always comes to disturb his mind like a curious ghost.
“fucking,” umpat Nadine, just then the break bell rang.
Nadine moved from her place, just a few steps someone pulled the end of her sleeve made Nadine stop and turn around.
“let alone?” lazily, he looked at Arka who was still holding the edge of her arm. Nadine.
“next week will there be 4 days off, you have ga time?”
“mau what?”
“menin I'm out, we eat ice cream, you ever ask in the treat right?” Nadine was silent for a moment, she remembered when she broke up with Arka, Nadine had asked for ice cream because it had made Clarissa back to Arka.
Nadine grunted in annoyance.
“ga can, I'm busy,” reject Nadine,
Not yet Arka spoke, Nadine hastily left Arka.
‘hei, come on..can't really bother me anymore, ngejauhin you that's very difficult, if you keep rich gini how I want to move on!’
Arka looked at Nadine's back sadly. His heart ached to see Nadine who kept away from him. Even if he knew it was normal. But Arka actually still wants to be close to Nadine. He missed Nadine.
A few days later.....
“eh want free quota ga?” said Arka suddenly in the morning, his voice was slower and louder.
“ga, my quota is still much,”
Arka frowned, she took a memo and wrote something, stuck it on Nadine's desk before she left.
‘ini is free, I bought 3 quota vouchers, so I want to pass you 1, there are 10 GB.’
Nadine read it and scratched her non-itchy nape. He was surprised not to play, the more days it felt Arka more and more continue to get closer to him, making Nadine confused ‘what the hell he wants?’
Time goes by so fast, it doesn't feel like it's time to go home. As usual they all queue at the gate for a passcard.
“Nad,” voice calls quietly right behind Nadine's back, but the girl does not turn her head.
“Nadine,” call him once again louder. Nadine turned her head and found Arka who was smiling in a knot,
“mau ga? Really free,” Arka still offers her 10 GB quota voucher.
“already if maksa, where,” Arka smiled wider and gave it to Nadine.
“hehe, briefly in active before dipake, if you do not understand how to ask me aja,” Arka's hoarse voice makes Nadine look at him with a gaze as if she needs an answer.
Nadine stepped forward as antian began to move, unknowingly pulling the edge of Arka's shirt, and,
“here forward, don't go too far, your voice why is it?” tanya Nadine looked at Arka intensely, making Arka misbehavior.
“emm, anu, it.throat I have allergies rich, already this week difficult nelen and hoarse gini,” look vague Arka face that meet red, although not too visible.
“ohh, have you been to the clinic?”
“udah,
“drink the medicine regularly, if you can drink anget water continues, cepet healed,” Nadine's voice softens, making Arka blush embarrassed he mengolem his smile.
“doctor says don't drink anget water,”
“terus how?”
“regular water, but eat soft-soft, rich gruel.”
“oohhh, but here no one sells, unless you make, can make porridge?” ask Nadine.
“emm can hehe,” Arka replied clumsyly,
“already,”
In my heart, Nadine continued her sentence, ‘lu did break up with me, now sick no one takes care of it,’
Nadine had entered the bus, she was idly looking at Arka from the window. There was a sense of a strange rustling in his heart. But I don't know what.
He opened the contacts on his phone, and only then did he realize something. It turns out that the arcs with Clarissa are the same, just different at the end. The last digit of the Ark was 2 and Clarissa was 9.
I don't know why Nadine feels her heart burning now. He slammed his back into the seat backrest in annoyance. Making a friend next to him jump in shock,
“sorry,” said Nadine later.
***
Arriving at home Nadine rushed to take a bath before her friends took a shower first. The body is sticky and hot. After she had taken a shower and returned to her room, Julia was already sitting in her room.
“entar lah,” Julia is still cool with her gadged
“ck, habit,”
Nadine sat on the edge of the mattress looking at the voucher given by Arka.
“eh, want to ga?” nadine asked wagging the voucher,
“what's tuh?” Julia glanced at it, though,
“quota free, 10 GB, want ga?”
“wiih, good tumben, you don't want to use emang?” Julia immediately put down her phone, staring at Nadine enthusiastically.
“it dapet dapet, my quota is also still a lot,”
“dication? Same who?”
“sama anu-“ replied Nadine ambiguous,
“Arka?” a banggo! Nice guess Julia.
Nadine nodded, though,
“lah, why does he give you a free quota?”
“ga tau, maksa sih, yaudah. He said he had bought 3 vouchers so he packed it to me one, but my quota is still a lot, just fill it. Said you didn't have a quota?”
“iyanih, really, yaudah if you don't want to. Here to make me,”
“nah, briefly active first, I do not understand too much anyway, rarely use vouchers,” said Nadine while giving the voucher to Julia.
“oke deh, thanks hehe,” Julia seneng-seneng aja dikasi free voucher.
Drrrttt,,,,
‘definitely from that person again,’
Arcs
A banggo!
Arka: have not used the voucher yet?
Nadine: no, not yet, if my quota is already abis,
Arche: ohh, okay...
No more replies. Nadine was so unhappy because she gave her voucher that Arka gave her instead given to others. It was as if he did not appreciate giving.

the sky is cloudy once today, it may rain with some lightning
Nadine posts her new status. And sure enough, like fishing and just giving a new bait, a fish eats the bait and goes into ‘kail’nya.
Nadine read the message that just entered her whatapp, who else if not Arka the former who continues to compete as ‘friend’.
It was sickening, but Nadine did not reject it at all, as if she wanted to know how far this would go. Oh dear...are you playin’ a drama??
Arka: already use the voucher?
Nadine: not yet.
‘Julia has not used yet? So it's not good I said,’
Arka: ohh ok, oh yes. What is the holiday this month?
Nadine: what is it?
Arka: we walk...mau ga?
‘road? Lo mean? Why dating bro??’-in Nadine starts riled up.
I don't know, Nadine's heart is pounding right now. Not because he was happy. But he's restless. What Arka is doing. Attracting his heart and feelings. As if toying with himself.
‘okeeyyy..wanna play with me? Ok. Let’s play’
Nadine risked her heart that might get hurt again. Does anyone play with fire but not feel the heat? Ohh bullshit man~
After a few hours he did not reply to Arka's message, not because he did not want to. But Nadine was intentional.
Nadine: you're dating?
No wait long, reply directly to his phone. ‘wow fast-response,’
Arka: yes, will you?
Nadine: where?
Arka: where do you want? Followin cave
‘iyuuhhh habit, ga clear,’ Nadine clucked with reply Arka, which according to her ‘ga really’
Nadine, what is it, what is it?
Arka: what?
Nadine: yes it's you, suddenly give voucher, walk around, invite others just can't?
Arka: why? You don't want to?
Nope: hmm
Arka: okay, I don't make it, I don't,
“heran deh, the former is also still a watados. Eh drown a sin person anyway?” nadine suddenly asked the friend next to her,
“apa lu, gaje,” says his friend chimed in Nadine's random words,
Meanwhile, Arka aga was disappointed by Nadine's rejection. He held a cell phone in his hand. And leaning on the bench looked up at the sky in the gazebo behind where it used to rest in the afternoon.
‘so do you hate me, so much do you want me same deket me again?’ -Arka
***
This holiday Nadine spent traveling with April. For some reason at this time only April was always there for him and still wanted to listen to his curses about Arka without commenting which made him feel insecure.
This time he went with April to a Giant Aquurium. Actually, Nadine had long wanted to go to this place, although she had invited Julia, but ternya his active friend even chose to go hiking and spend the night in the mountains.
And here they are now. I don't know why this time Nadine is so noisy, but usually she is a silent girl.
“Pril! Photograph me.. hunted,”
“Pril focus dong,”
“Pril..my feet are not taken,”.
“Pril, reset dong..”.
“pril!”
“iisshhh noisy lu,” protest April in the end, Nadine just grinned the horse.
“hehe.. sorry, uh there yuk,” Nadine directly walked ahead of April into the aquarium place.
Both were amazed by God's beautiful creation. Really, which favor are you lying about, right?
Until the end of the journey the two did not stop talking because of his admiration for the underwater scenery they witnessed. It was truly amazing, as if all the trouble, all the fatigue they brought from home just fell out in this place.
They are already at the end of the aquarium hallway, and are riding the escalator to exit. Before they left, they were directed to a souvenir.
But it is basically not capital, come to the place of souvenirs just for photos without buying anything.
“eh buy this yuk... or this deh,” said Nadine with sparkling eyes looking at beautiful shells, beautiful,
“expensive, don't worry,” April the irit girl
“ini deh, print our photos right in the ticket place, good or make a memento,” Nadine memelas show a photo album of visitors printed about the size of A5.
“how much?”
“while I asked the cashier first,” Nadine directly went to the cashier with a face like a child who had just bought a favorite toy by his mother. Oh man~
“300 rebu, 2 photos,” Nadine said upon her return from the cashier,
“we've returned yuk,” without cue, April snatch a photo sample from Nadine's hand and take her out of the store before she asks for a strange one again.
“well, don't buy anything we?” lamented Nadine,
“gak, instead of buying mending gituan buy eat, laper me,” Nadine just rolling eyes hear the answer April always food.
Throughout the day they continued to walk tirelessly. Until the sun goes down and is replaced by the moon. Here they are, in the Arabic-style mosque in the middle of the city, performing the magrib prayer and waiting for the congregation.
Nadine felt very peaceful to hear the sacred verses that continued to be earthy in this room. Nadine recorded a short video and uploaded it on whatapp.
Soon he saw the new status of Arka. A photo of Arka wearing a black skullcap, her sleeves rolled up to the top of her elbows and her pants rolled half a calf.
Nadine noticed the background of the photo which seemed to be a place of ablution. Arka wrote a caption on her photo,
welcome to pray magrib-happy
‘WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nadine gawked at the status of Arka that she posted moments when Nadine's status had just been updated. Arka is in a ablution place, and surely it is in a mosque right?
‘hey, Arka? Wudhu in the mosque? Prayer in the mosque? Wow!’
Nadine surprised. That guy has a change.
But somehow he felt his status was deliberately in reply Arka, as if he said. ‘hey I am also in mosque’
After they finished praying, Nadine sat in the garden of the mosque while waiting for April to finish from the toilet. He was busy making broadcast messages to commemorate the night of Nisfu Syaban. Because the day after tomorrow will enter the holy bull of Ramadan.
Until when Nadine's eyes caught a man who drew his eyes. Just after April sat down beside him.
The two looked at each other and smiled suspiciously. After the man went outside the mosque area which must have followed the views of these two girls.
“wooaaa very handsome!!!” said April patting Nadine's arm with anxiety,
“lu see? Prospective imam I ahahaha,” timpal Nadine,
“eh his face is rich know ya? Rich korean actor in drama,”
“eh kirain I doang who thought that,”
“aaahhh my future priest... aamiiinnn,” as if there were butterflies flying over the head of April.
“halu mulu lu, ayok back entar kemaleman.” Nadine got up from her seat.
A moment later his phone started to vibrate, some of his friends replied to his broadcast message. Until where Nadine's view is on 1 message. He patted his head in frustration.
“aduh, why is this person I tagged anyway,” muttered Nadine saw reply Arka message,
