Never Not
Ch. 17: The Law of the Fallen Select

"This was my school, Nat!" Show spirit tone out the window.

Natya smiled amusedly at Nada's behavior. From earlier this girl pointed to all corners of Jogja that she considered historic in her life. From her favorite eating place, where she once performed as a dancer, to her school.

"That's what a Pinter kid is, right?"

"Dad!" Tone nods vigorously yet innocently so that it even looks funny. Natya laughed. "But I never even got to the top ten there. Just normal," continued Nada.

Natya nodded her head in the sign she was listening. They both just finished eating their favorite soup and now want to find a snack. Nada wanted to eat her favorite ice cream in the Tugu area before the many places Gelato ruled Yogyakarta.

When he was happy to direct Natya there, it turned out that the place was closed.

"Well... So, where's Nada going now?" ask Natya gently.

"Buy Escrim deket Indomaret Point here, Nad. Let's not go around anymore. You must be tired too."

"So I've been sleeping too, Nad."

"Yes, but it's gonna take a break, Nat."

Natya eventually complies and they end up buying ice cream at a nearby minimarket and eating in the car. Tada noticed himself and Natya then suddenly chuckled.

"Why laugh, Nad?" Natya looks confused.

Nada dismissed her laughter. Natya could see that there was a tinge of red coloring the face of this girl. He looked at Natya with eyes sparkling a mixture of happy and sad.

"You want a story, but don't laugh."

"Hm... Okay?"

Tone takes a deep breath. "I feel suddenly funny we're like gini. Used to live here really want to do kayak gini. Update simple in the car but fail mulu if deket same person. Taunya already old gini new frenzied even though the same temen." The tone of the head bobbles with his funny life and felt his sentence was ordinary.

Natya herself actually so jolted to hear the complete sentence Nada. He inevitably brought out what was on his mind at the moment, "So, we're updated or just a minute right now, Nad?" shoot directly.

The tone stopped smiling and widened. He did not expect to hear that coming out of Natya's mouth. Instead of answering, the girl looked at Natya with a shocked expression mixed in confusion. Natya realizes this and ruffles her hair with a soft tone.

"Not be surprised. It doesn't have to be answered now. We go around once again and go back to rest. Your face is so sleepy." Natya pinched softly both of Nada's cheeks while laughing anxiously.

Meanwhile, Nada's heart had fallen to its knees until the second time limp. Mayday!!

"GOODNESS!!" Frinta screamed loudly as Nada called her midnight. Once at home, Frinta becomes the only person who has Nada's mind to tell her about tonight.

"But.. That's a real feeling or a temptation to doang huh?"

"Yes if he says no need to answer now, it means confessions dong."

The tone suddenly shuddered amusedly. "But... Cheesy really isn't it? I'm actually like being shot with the context of High School lessons."

"Ribet bener lo. Yes, the important thing is obviously what it means. Lagian you're not fishing anyway use the show say dream to date in the car."

Frinta could already imagine the face mimic of the current Tone. It must have really become a boiled crab!

"Trus, how are you? Wanna answer what? We're still meeting tomorrow, right?"

"Not knowing me.. Don't know any.. Just focus on me first... "

"Oh... Yes, too..."

"Yes... Go through that, Ta.. New maybe I could be more sane little to think."

"But tomorrow you're not gonna make a deal with him?"

"Yes... He had already chatted me tomorrow what time to go to the hospital."

"Duh, really patent this Natya. May the spit be healed.. Trus abis it me this one finally united deh same good guy who suddenly appeared this."

The tone is silent but agree in the heart. He was afraid to express his wishes too loudly. Afraid if suddenly all ended or changed the flow to be not what he wanted.

He's already saturated for heartbreak.

"Lo nanya like that? How can you be so tacky as a high school kid?"

"Reflex doang," replied Natya flatly.

Dhito was already shaking his head to hear the story of this friend. She was actually also quite shocked to hear Natya's story today. She did not expect Natya to express her feelings on the first day of setting foot in Yogyakarta. He thought he would wait a few days. Or on return. Or even wait when you meet again in Jakarta. Fast movement is also his best friend.

"But, he realized it wasn't that you actually felt? Because it's like a blur trus is not clear also in my opinion," jeloroh Dhito suddenly.

Natya so repeated the events of today in her mind.

Yes also yes, lest Nada did not catch the meaning of his words.

"On top of that, so you do love her?"

"I do like her. Not until I come here either, bro."

Dhito laughing. "Yes, crazy as well. Trus, lucky to be on-approve vacation that week."

Natya can only give a whimper of victory from afar without Dhito being able to see.

"Gue ya seneng heck finally this iceberg melted as well. After all this time his love was frozen for only one person."

Natya was stunned to hear Dhito's words. He could not lie that it made him remembered by others. Which he sometimes still gropes whether his feelings have really been completely lost or just hiding in another form.

"Hopefully this time."

Natya could only shut up. Not daring to say it out loud. He had no idea what actions he had taken today were merely impulsive actions. However, he was sure his feelings for Nada were indeed present and real. To compare with what he used to feel and experience with Kay, it will feel very different and incomparable. After all, it should be that every feeling that exists to a different person, cannot be compared. Natya hopes, this time she builds a true foundation.
