Never Not

Never Not
Ch. 13: Untrustworthy


"Cuuuhhhh... "


Dhito laughed himself at the expression of Nada who finished eating his ramen delicately. He himself had already finished eating from about twenty minutes earlier than Nada. The rest he spent chatting with Nada.


Some of the things that Dhito caught from Nada was that she was indeed a simple girl. Both from his perspective and his lifestyle. Not in the sense that he is not knowledgeable or does not follow fashion, but rather Nada prioritizes comfort and does not want to use or do anything that makes it 'uncomfortable'. The background of the Nada family itself is also simple in the truest sense. Uncomplicated, normal and reasonable. His father was a PNS in Yogyakarta and his mother was a teacher at one of the public schools. He has two younger brothers who are still in school and studying in Yogyakarta. Their families are well-off but also not excessive.


Dhito occasionally looks at his phone. There was no reply from Natya after she mentioned their location. Between Natya not caring or she being on her way here are two different things.


"Where did we end this?" ask Nada slowly.


"Ha where are you going? This mall is so rame with the sound of screaming girls. I even dizzy when I go out."


Tone of amused laughter. "Frinta sama Terra must be again this line."


"Definitely. Terra only if at home who squirms from the screen doang already noisily." Dhito shook his head in light of his sister's behavior. He believes Terra is already at the top of the excitement in the atrium of this mall.


"Hello, guys."


Dhito and Nada turned to the source of the voice that turned out to be Natya. Dhito gave a wide grin as his lure towards Natya was successful. Natya continued to greet by raising her eyebrows then sat down next to Dhito. Nada was unable to hide her surprise with Natya's very sudden presence.


While what he was looking at was busy giving a sign to the waitress to deliver a menu book.


"For the laper, so I'm here."


Basiii.. grunts Dhito in the heart.


Tone just silence not responding. She chooses to play her phone while waiting for Natya to order her food.


Natya was suddenly here anyway, Taa???????


Nada is sure that Frinta will only read this after she finishes jostling to meet her favorite oppa. However, Nada needed an outlet for this shock. He glanced at Dhito who was also busy with his phone.


"So, how come you two are here?" Natya tries to break the silence.


Nada did not answer so Dhito took the initiative to represent. "Si Terra watching her favorite Korean artist. Trus turns out his friend Nada nemenin is here too."


"Oh..." Natya nodded then looked at Nada kindly. "Lo prefers that band, Nad?"


"You mean Coldplay, FYI aja, I've said you lied about me taking you to the club, goats," sambar Dhito fast.


Nada inevitably becomes laughing while Natya belicates. The Dhito is sometimes able to support can also make his friend embarrassed. Because it was caught if he was in Bangkok used to lie about it, Natya so only can cleared her throat.


"Yes just nebak. You like to suddenly do that."


Ngeles the camel.. Dhito tickled himself. He glanced at his watch. He was weighing whether to run away now or not. He does not want to linger to be a mosquito repellent.


Dhito's request was immediately granted at that moment. Dhito was instantly speechless seeing someone who was walking closer to them.


"Eh, Hi, Dhit! Nat!" arinta exclaimed cheerfully as she saw the two men in the same dining area as her. Arinta this time enough to hide himself by wearing glasses and oversize sweaters and beige hat bucket.


What Dhito did the first time was to return the greeting. Meanwhile, Natya glanced at the girl in front of her.


Nada was praying in full so that Arinta would not come to this place with Adrian.


Arinta realized there was one more figure that she had not been. As soon as he approached, he immediately recalled the face of this woman he was looking at. "Hm... Sorry yesterday I forgot the name.. " Aryan looks guilty.


"Tone.. " Tone looked up and gave a small smile to Arinta. It is difficult for Nada to hate Arinta because this woman does not know anything about her story with Adrian. Plus, Arinta is basically a kind and friendly person. Who would hate this pretty and kind girl? In life, there are certain kinds of injustice.


"Anyone, Rin?" ask Dhito pleasantries while checking the temperature. Not-don't the guy who at that time also took part in intending Arinta.


"No. I'm nemenin, emm, Kay. He's in what fansign's downstairs." Arinta's a little stealing a look at Natya. I want to see the reaction of this guy. While Natya just stay still and instead focus on seeing the figure in front of her.


Dhito really wants to run away with a typical atmosphere like this. Less complete what else there is Nada, Natya, Arinta, even Kay. He did not expect also the matter of fansign could make them in a room like this.


"I can join, right?"


"Oh yes please." Nada invited Arinta to sit next to him. Arinta thanked him and looked at the three of them.


"Is this something else on the diet or what?" He asked when he saw that only Natya was eating.


"Si Natya is late. We both ate. Bias, busy."


Arinta laughed a little. He regretted the behavior of Natya who was on weekends sometimes still working. However, Arinta also remembers, there used to be a time when Natya would appear at the location of the photo shoot or event Kay. Is it possible that she came here too because she actually knew Kay was here? After all, Arinta was sure Natya knew who Kay's favorite artist was. It used to be that he was not wrong Natya also defended Kay to watch concerts to and fro.


"Messenger gih, Rin. Let's go temenin lo. Then again because I'm the same Nada want to unplug me."


"Where?" Arinta and Natya asked simultaneously. The tone is also if not self-control, almost just ask the same question.


"Nyari kado Kay."


Natya almost choked on hearing Dhito's answer. Arinta herself turned her head in shock.


"Nada knows Kay?" At first glance he glanced towards Natya to ask for confirmation.


"No. I'm doang. Should be with Terra. But he was busy watching. Coincidentally met Nada, I just wanted to ask for a meeting. But Kay is here, right? It's not good for me to jump. Don't look in this mall for me."


Nada was still trying to digest everything Dhito said. Meanwhile, Natya, she is still confused by Dhito's current actions. If it was Arinta, she was still guessing the relationship with each other in today's events.


"Turn it out now, Nad. Ntar kegap kegap birthday tomorrow." Dhito gave the instructions casually.


The tone itself is still clumsy to follow this Dhito storyline. Dhito himself stood up, patted Natya on the shoulder briefly, then walked towards the cashier before finally exiting the restaurant. A brief farewell note to Natya and Arinta then hurriedly walked out of the restaurant.


"It was on the run not out of fear Kay mergokin lo with the new chick right?" Shoot Frinta.


"Yes, don't." Because elo same girlfriend lo again! Natya in my heart. He doesn't feel good in his current position. He knew Dhito would definitely want to help him to get out of this strange situation. Maybe help Nada all of you. If Natya who was busy carrying Nada run, the impression to Arinta must have been she really avoided Kay.


Arinta ordered her food and then looked back at Natya. He was really curious about Natya and Nada. "Lo wants to follow up unplug or what? Ntar Kay is back here."


"If I did if my food was running, I'd be unplugged. It doesn't matter if there's Kay." Natya moves her ramen bowl a little to signal that she is about to finish eating.


"So, a new gig or a new girlfriend, Nat?"


"You want to be your informant?" canda Natya's.


"No. Males. Very ancient story if ngadepin lo same Kay. I was amazed to move forward. Don't everyone take it to Kala's place?"


Natya just put her shoulders down. He and Arinta themselves are arguably not close friends. It just so happens that Arinta and Kay are often one project and when she accompanies Kay, she also becomes acquainted with Arinta. That this girl turned out to have her own unique story, Natya also just found out. Nor does Natya know, to what extent Arinta knows about her and Kay's story. She doesn't know if Kay told Arinta everything, like Natya told Dhito everything. Kay is not a person with many friends. Especially friends. You could even say his close friend was just Natya. But, don't ask about the acquaintance Kay has. The list will be very much.


Natya nodded at once swallowing her last mouthful. Alright, the food is up, he can keep rushing away.


"That means a lot to her. At least that is what she says to me."


"Not a big deal. That is what friends are for."


Arinta silence. He was willing to continue but he knew it was not his current capacity to dig further about Natya. He himself is actually currently more of an observer. Kay never told too much about what really happened between them.


"No papa if you eat alone, Rin?" Natya made sure Arinta's condition first. He also doesn't feel good about having to leave Arinta alone.


"Pure. Unplug deh lo. Confused also me if ntar Kay here trus I stuck with lo both."


Natya grimaces. He could suddenly feel the clumsiness that was about to happen.


"Okay, I'm first." Natya stood up. However, just as she was about to walk out, Arinta suddenly made a sound again.


"Eh, you mean tomorrow come on Kay's birthday?"


"Yes, dateng."


"Bareng Nada too?"


To that end, Natya could only shut up.


•••


Yes, info when it is done. I wait in the parking lot.


The tone was silent in Dhito's car. He wanted to get to his car, but was arrested by Dhito. Even to be honest, Dhito also did not understand why he was holding Nada back.


The tone finally could not stand it and opened the sound as well. "Dhit, although it's a wonder why we should be here, just... Thank you for writing me again from Arinta."


Dhito immediately admitted that Nada referred to the incident on River Cruise in Bangkok.


"Oh, let's go. You puket mulu if you meet them." Dhito was honest and tried to joke.


"Ha yeah?" Tone immediately checked his face on the dashboard glass. Dhito was amused to see it.


"Yes if now you're more like a face of satiety."


The tone immediately pouted hearing Dhito's words. "And I am full."


Dhito laughing. "Yes, you if this is still willing to see other things in the mall is also okay."


"Not good. You said we moved to the mall. I'm faceless again."


Dhito patted the steering wheel a sign he had forgotten with his own scenario. The tone immediately giggled funny. This Dhito is so do not need to make a complicated scenario. Use the nyari kado event again.


"You actually bought the card, didn't you?"


"Kok you know?" Dhito.


"Not accidentally met Terra when she finished her gift shopping. Trus abis that's a chat."


"Oh..."


"That's kay.. Natya's ex?"


Duh, have you given what is Terra?


"No. Who said it was like that. The Terra? I like to know that krucil sometimes."


"No really. Nebak. Many go there."


Dhito became anxious and pinned the top of the head of Nada slowly. "Lo's detective."


Tone rubbed slowly the former jakata. "Gue sometimes feels fast about that."


"No comment on me. But the obvious answer is no."


"Former gebetan?"


"Ask the same person."


"It's preliminary to the theme," argued Nada.


"Ribet ah I asked mulu. I want to watch."


"To cinema? Ntar kegep Arinta."


"No, Madaammm. Watch it here."


"Cock here?" Plain asking tone.


"Hiish... You're such a fucking crap." Dhito turned to Nada who was looking at him curiously. The girl's eyes narrowed while her lips pulled up to form a straight line. Dhito was at a crossroads wanting to ruffle the girl's hair or pinch her cheeks. But, of course, both of them are abstaining from doing so.


Dhito turns on his phone and intends to continue to watch the Peaky Blinders. Seeing that, Nada so decided to better also wait in his car alone.


"Go back to my car."


Dhito looked up, thought for a moment, then nodded. "okay."


Tone a little snorting. Why else would he be here. From the beginning he should have been in the car. After a few seconds, the phone rang. She was busy reaching into her bag and saw her screen displaying the name that contacted her, "Mama".


" Hello, Ma?" The tone waved briefly to Dhito and out opened the door. He tried to listen to the sentence his mother was explaining and at the same time saw Natya smiling widely and walking closer to him.


Nada stopped her steps and focused on her mother. Meanwhile, Natya was already standing tall beside him.


Natya looks sumringah but slowly her expression dimmed when she saw the look on Nada's face turned to panic.


"Nad?"


Tone replied. "Yes, Ma. Tone home." He hung up his conversation on the phone then looked at Natya blankly.


Natya was sure, there was some unpleasant news that she would hear.
