Never Not
Ch. 16: Lucky to Have it

"So, how's Nad doing?"

Nada could only comment on the small smile of hearing Natya's question. The woman sighed heavily then leaned back against the chair while stretching her legs. "It's complicated, Nat," she answered briefly.

Natya slowly asked, "What is your papa condition now, Nad?"

"Start improving anyway... Just yeah... Surprised as well. Mama said she had surgery at first, too, Nat. But, fortunately it turns out that after being brought here, it could be with the action of removing fluid in his lungs. Should be home in a week."

"Can you see me?"

"could.. One person but. Every day we change it. But mama must have come in anyway.."

Natya nodded slowly.

"Where are you going, Nat?"

"Decond here too."

"Until...?"

"Yes, until Nada also comes home."

Tone could not hide the tinge of joy mixed with embarrassment that was seething on his face. He must turn his eyes, as well as his mind, to other things first to respond to Natya's statement.

"If I had even gone home by now."

Natya smiled thinly. "It looks like I'm Nad going back to Jakarta."

"hey are. Bangkok to Singapore at lightning fast."

Natya recalled the situation at that time. At that time he was willing to go directly to Singapore when he heard the news of Wood's father was sick. The difference is, both of his parents also visited there. At this moment, there was only him and Nada sitting in the waiting room together, with little memories binding them both.

"You're like taking a break to a hotel isn't papa, Nat..." Suggestions Nada saw the face of Natya who was quite haggard, although still looks handsome.

"You wait here till night?"

"No really... Change the same first. I came again for a new night. Let mama rest at home."

"Yes, I went to the hotel just as you went to the hotel."

Tone was a bit surprised to hear that. Because, that means Natya will have time to meet her mother. Nada suddenly becomes groggy to introduce Natya to her mother. What should you call it status?

Tone condemned his confusion. Yes it is clear the status of him and Natya is just a friend, why he is also pretentiously confused to be introduced with what kind of status.

Tone glanced at his watch. Her mother will be here in about two hours. There was still plenty of time to talk to Natya and think about how to introduce her later.

Nada then turned to look at Natya and started chatting more excitedly.

----

Sayup-sayup Nada heard a very familiar laugh in her ear. He opened his eyes and slowly and saw his mother smiling widely while reacting to Natya's words.

Tone took him a few minutes to process everything before he almost jumped in shock.

"Mama??" Tone called out with a hoarse voice just waking up his sleep.

His mother and Natya turned to look at him.

Her mother gave a meaningful smile to her. "That's so bad you slept. Mama was forbidden Natya to wake up."

Spontaneous tone gaped in shock. Why is her mother so friendly? Trus, how long has he been sleeping??

"Yes, Nad. It doesn't taste good either as if you're tired. You can fall asleep in the middle of the story." Natya could not hide her gel taste, which was also in fact anxious, to Nada.

Tone rubbed his face. Make sure at least there was nothing strange on his face.

"Father, son. It's still pretty."

Tone choked on hearing his mother's words. My mother rarely said that. Especially in front of guys like Natya. And Nada herself was even saddened to hear that. Try this mama know Natya is the hero or her ex-boyfriend is an artist. Artist! It's just a bunch of potatoes compared to Catherine.

"I washed my face first." Nada covered while running away for a while so that she could better prepare herself to face her mother who now looks familiar with Natya.

As soon as Nada returned to the waiting room, Natya was no longer in the waiting room.

"It's been you for a long time, brother. But, the exit also has no change. Kirain long because of dandan."

"Mama is not consistent ah. I just woke up so pretty."

Mama Nada laughed at her daughter's answer. "So that's to increase your selling value."

"What the heck, Maaaaa." whine Nada. He then went looking for Natya.

"She was calling, so that's what it used to be." Hearing her mother's reply, Nada could only make out a smile. "Trus, girlfriend or not?"

Tone choked for the second time. He didn't expect his mother to be this frontal.

"Temen, Ma." Tone gave a clarification before his mother too far guessed.

"Yes. Understand."

Nada's eyes narrowed suspiciously because her mother's expression did not show any signs of understanding the meaning of 'friend' Nada mentioned.

"You go home with Natya. Mama takes care of Papa. The night as well. You are a total wife today. Same time Natya had dinner today."

I just want to hear this mother's request.

"Nauva is the same Mama who takes care of Papa today," continued his mother before Nada responded with rejection.

A new tone was about to open her mouth to protest when Natya reappeared before them. His face looks even more bleak. Either because of exhaustion or also because the chatter on the phone was very draining energy.

"Sori, Tan, lama..." Natya apologized for a long time.

"Yes, it's okay... Oh yeah, you take a break from this. Hasn't had time to rest, right from arriving in Yogya? Just the same tone." Mama Nada gently patted the shoulder of Nada which provoked Nada for a slight snort. Drama this time....

Natya glanced towards Nada to see the girl's reaction. The glimpsed even like looking half annoyed half dumbstruck. If there is no mother here, Natya must have ruffled the girl's hair.

"Yes, I'm going home, Mom..." Nada finally complied with her mother's advice. He also had no energy to weigh in. Be told A yes just do the A obediently.

Nada stood up and took her backpack, as did Natya.

"Pamit first yeah, Tan."

Mama Nada nodded then hugged Natya lovingly. Tone himself immediately felt very awkward to see it in front of him. He really didn't know what reaction he deserved.

On the way to the exit, Nada finally became silent. Side by side with Natya currently in the hallway of the Hospital feels like nothing real. Natya's presence is very sudden in the life of Nada which even to the personal problems this feels very strange. Strange that is not bad, but also does not mean good.

"Yeah, Nad."

Natya directs Nada to the parking lot. The tone was silent.

"Hire another car, Nat?"

Natya was just scratching her clumsy head.

"Anti public transport?" Canda Nada's.

"It's a ribbon, Nad. Moreover, fitting here do not know also your reaction will be like how. Or what your condition is." Natya was silent for a moment. "But thank God you're okay."

A Bianca Karina Nada was running out of words.

--------

"Lo ya who gave my position to Natya," Todong Nada directly as Frinta picked up her phone.

"Hello who was visited. Ciye... " Tempta Frinta which was greeted with a shout of Nada. "Bibit superior nih si Natya. I gave you the address to him because of the report from Dhito that Natya so dumbfounded not clear because of worry."

Again Nada felt a strange sigh in her heart. She doesn't know to be happy to hear Natya worry about her or not. Tone feels self-conscious and does not want to expect much. Although Natya who had flown all the way to Yogyakarta only to meet her undeniably made Nada touched.

"Gue's so confused, Ta..."

"It seems that this signal is much better than the old."

"Gue didn't want to think anything first."

"Whatever anyway. I just want to be nekenin if you are SENT TO Jogja. If you don't want to think, that's okay too. Your focus right now is on the bokap. But yaa. be grateful that there are handsome guys who are ready to continue. Doi took his leave for a week, said the Dhito."

"Seriously???" Stupefied tone.

"Yes. Special for nemenin Nada. Duh, what a romantic. Handsome, handsome, kind, not real this Natya."

Tone speechless. He also met someone like that. Adrian was once labeled as the best man in the world until finally it also ended up being the cruelest world.

Love can be ugly.

"Udah, Nad... Don't get too deep first. Take it easy. The Natya who was clearly sincere went there. If he suddenly confess in Jogja, he will spread confetti deh me."

"Duh, don't give me a strange idea."

Frinta just laughed satisfied.

"Mba Nadaaaaaaaaaa, there's a nyariiinnnnnn." Nira shouted loudly that even Frinta could hear.

"The prince has come ye? Enjoy it." yaaa."

"Dining at night..."

"Yes hamahaammmm. " Frinta is following Nira.

Tone turned off his phone connection and took a deep breath. May this night not add to the burden of his mind.
