Never Not

Never Not
Ch. 3: Will I Get Engaged?


"Sawadee!"


A friendly welcome began Nada's initial trip to Bangkok today. After many attacks rebuked him from the side of personal life, Nada decided to take a short vacation in Bangkok. He decided to watch Coldplay in Bangkok. The actual tone does not follow the band too much, but who does not know the famous hits from Coldplay? So, there is at least something Nada saw in Bangkok.


This is not the first time the girl has set foot in this country. This was her third trip to Bangkok. But, for a personal trip, this was the first time.


"Welcomeeeeeeeeeee!!"


Frinta greeted with a loud hug. He was in Bangkok on the third day. Frinta actually took a two-week sabbatical. One week actually will he and Arga take advantage of for a vacation to South Korea. Understandably, Nada's friend this one already belongs to the bucin class with artists in the ginseng country.


Frinta let go of her embrace and Nada continued by greeting Arga. The two of them were today in charge of picking up and escorting Nada to her inn. Actually Frinta had invited him to stay with her and Arga, but Frinta refused because as usual, she wanted to feel alone, and she also wanted to let the LDR couple enjoy time with them both.


Nada was escorted to her hotel in Siam. After check-in, Nada immediately took advantage of his time


to take a nap for a moment. The tone really came on the day the concert took place. He wants after that he just stay focused for the streets. Frinta and Arga who want to take him to lunch, he refused first.


 "Tomorrow, take me to a good meal. "


 "Okay, princess."


Tone sets an alarm and awakens when time has shown at four in the afternoon. He took a shower and ordered food at the hotel. After preparing and eating, Nada immediately ordered Grab to take him to the stadium. The location of the stadium turned out to be quite far from where he stayed. Nada didn't really have time to figure out the location yesterday. He has only ever seen a concert abroad. Or rather a musical. Nada is willing to pursue the musical Lion King to Singapore. The rest, he did not follow the artist or singer so much that only attended concerts in Jakarta that his friend invited.


Once at the Stadium, Nada bought mineral water that was sold at the venue. Because other bottles of drink are not allowed to be brought in. Tone looking around, there are already many fans in line. The gate has also been opened so that the entrance queue is getting snaking. Some are the type of fans who come with Coldplay t-shirts, or wear direct official merchandise shirts sold in merchandise booths.


Tone earned a spot on Row L. He did not choose to stand. When he entered, he could see the crowd on the floor seat was already crowded. The tone is in the seat L-16. Number 2 from the top of the group L. Next to him sat two teenagers who were playing mobile phones. Tone looking ahead. The show starts at 7, so it's about half an hour away.


As he looked down, Nada's face instantly turned deathly pale. Adrian and Arinta just showed up and looked like they were looking for their seats. Tone instantly sat himself down like looking around for something on the floor, he stroked his hair in front of his face so that his face would not be seen. He was trying to see the two of them walking to another place. At least they're not in one


row.


Of the many concerts, why did they have to come here? Wouldn't artists like Arinta prefer to go to Singapore or Melbourne? Why did you choose Bangkok?Nada even chose a vacation here because Bangkok is not a country that is frequented by Arinta or Adrian. They played to Phuket. Or are they on vacation in Phuket?


Once sitting is normal (with hair that remains deliberately made forward).  Nada immediately opened Instagram and checked Arinta's latest upload.


Tuh, right! The last post on the girl's feed was three days ago in Phuket. Duh, why don't Nada look around first.


Tone cursed him.


 The existence of Adrian and Arinta at the same venue as him, made the girl unsettled. The atmosphere even the splendor of the appearance at that time could not disturb his real mind at that time was already willing to go home. But Nada did not want to waste the ticket he bought at an extraordinary price (even though in the stands, because he bought it mepet then he got the price of touts that put the price is not kidding), and he did not, plus he wanted to show himself that he must be strong. After all, the two of them were also unaware that he was here.


Another sad moment is actually when Fix You is played. The unifying song of the people in


this business of heartbreak or sadness, has succeeded in making Tone tears fall not approximately. The girl had to wipe her tears many times. It is too painful to hear this song with the fact that the cause of the pain is in the same place.


As soon as the Up & Up song finished playing as the ending theme, Nada paid no more attention and rushed down from the stands.


He could feel a sense of panic creeping into him and felt an overwhelming nausea. Hurried tone


go to the toilet and spit it all out. Whether it was panic or whatever it was, it was clear now that he was feeling dizzy and a little limp.


Tone washed his face and tried to strengthen his steps. He cannot be weak. The journey is still long anyway. The tone came out of the toilet and somewhat staggered when going down the stairs until there was a hand that held his arm tightly.


 


Nada looked up and saw Natya looking at him. Before Nada could say anything, Natya


he had led her slowly down the stairs and brought her to the ground floor. The atmosphere of the stadium at that time was completely filled with humans and still felt the noise of people who burst out of the stadium.


"What are you doing?" Tanya Nada as they tried to split the ocean. Natya was still holding her arm while looking for an airy exit for them. As soon as they came out of the gate, Natya immediately pulled Nada to a brick stand that was next to the booze stand.


 "Fuh... more intense deh yes here,” said Natya while inviting Nada to sit. Tone was sitting more to because his feet were a bit tired also the way far in the crowd.


“So, hi, nice to see you again?” The tone opened the conversation with a hint of sarcasm. The last time he met this person in front of him was about two months ago. Nada can even be said to have forgotten a little that he had met someone named Natya in his life.


The man smiled briefly and nodded slowly. “Although it was like that time I was hoping for a meeting


next there is no crying or sad event.”


“And really, right? Who is sad now?”


“You. From the beginning of this concert.”


“Nevent nagging – “ Tone stunned. “Sitting in row how many was it?”


“Two row below lo earlier but yes sideline bit. Yes quite was able to squirm suddenly there was a sudden nduk.”


Urghs! Numb tones in the heart. This is why fitting in a strange time to meet this person anyway? He's got a magnet. Then why can you also reach Bangkok to meet him?


 “Fans of Coldplay?” The tone instantly changed the total topic of conversation. Natya had a little laugh. Girl


in front of him this seems really do not want to discuss every asked why sad. But, every time he met his expression was always gloomy as sad. What should Natya continue with ‘trus what does it have to do with her?’.


“Lumayan. But, actually more nemenin to come here. Here too because there is business.”


 “Oh...” Nada nods. “Trus, which friend?”


“Oh yes.” Natya so remember she's been busy alone and forgets her friend. Hurriedly he immediately called Dhito who was definitely greeted with a spray.


“Lo where, nyet? Phone not picked up.” said Dhito upset. He came out and waited


Natya's in their car.


 “This, see you.”


Tone so follow the silence when he heard Natya call it as ‘friend’. For people who just met three times with each meeting only in the range of fifteen minutes and up, rather extraordinary if you can say friends.


“Temen? Wh who? Brian so come here too?”


 “Not, not.”


 “Which lo menu again?” Dhito Cecar. “Download to the car. Want to go back? This ntar jammed already crazy.”


Natya was silent for a moment. This is indeed when it is finished the concert, surely the streets will be jammed badly. Natya sees this girl sitting not far from herself. She kept her phone away from her ear then asked quietly to Nada.


“Nad, want to go home, right?”


The tone of the head bobble heard the question. “Ngak, Nat. Still want to shop.”


 “Ha, seriusan?” Natya believes it.


“Ya! I've been floundering here too. Why emang? I want to go home, Nat.” Tone so spooky rada also with Natya who likes to suddenly appear. Is this the guy secretly taking her or what? But, from the same stature as Natya, if she also wants to be a stalker, definitely not to the type that is like Nada anyway. Uh, but whatever it is, what is clear is this guy is a bit unpredictable and so what is even neremin huh?


Hearing that, Natya suddenly got an idea and immediately connected her conversation with Dhito. “Lo home first deh.”


“What is unclear? Where the hell are you?” Dhito thought for a moment. “Eh, lo again the same girl huh this? Anjir, who are you?”


“OK yes, first of all, I don't want to go to the pub. Sleep me. I went home by myself.”


“Pub? Woy – “


Natya no longer heard Dhito's words because she deftly stopped the conversation.


“Ngot be the same friend lo?”


 “Ngak. He wants to go to the pub. I am so tired, there will be no more energy to the place like that.”


 “Wah, yes anyway. So tired lah.” Tone agrees with the question.


 Natya hurriedly shifted their topic. “Oke... lo nginep where? Who knows searah.”


 “Decet here kok.”


“Interplace? Yes, I took the road there. Not too far anyway, but if the road itself is not good also definitely ntar.”


“Emang who said I was alone here?”


Natya almost choked on hearing Nada's answer. Yeah, well, he knows that this girl came here alone. Don't you think it's the same boyfriend again? But, it was like the left right side of Nada was a teenager. Girls too. Is sitting far away from the boyfriend.


 “Ngga ding, I came here myself. In Bangkok his doang is not alone.” Tone slightly held back laughter seeing the change in the look on Natya's face.


Nada nods. “Eh, but seriously, I went home alone. I know the same area in


Bangkok,” said Nada sok pede. Even though he went to Bangkok, he played the most yes area of Siam, Silom, Sukhumvit, or stuck to Khao San to eat his favorite sticky rice mango.


“Udah at eleven pm gini. Same person I do not know if anyone asks for help me will help, especially those I already know like lo.”


 “That knows the name?” connect Tone fast.


“Yes, Madam.” Natya became anxious herself with Nada who likes to quip all her statements. “So, Mbak Nada nginap in which area? I don't mean anything. Seriously deh. If it turns out we are far different directions, yes I do not want to nganter also.” Natya tried to give a logical explanation. Yes, even though if the different directions are definitely cemented as well.


“Di Siam.”


“That's a long way, Nadaaa, from here.” Natya held back her anxious desire to ruffle Nada's hair. “Yes


already, take care of that. I also stay close to it.”


 “Seriousness? Where?” Tone trying to test again.


“Iya deck, Nad.”


“Iya, Siam right but wide too.”


 “Ya emang as wide as anything, Nad,” Natya so a bit annoyed Nada want to be taken even twirling this nanya


that's. “Lo nginapnya where is it?”


 “Ibis.”


 “Oke, not far away. I'm in Kempinski.”


“Oh..”


“Yes right? Not far, right?” natya Repet. “Ya already yuk, hunted, let us not overnight.”


 Tone according to and follow Natya walking out of the park area at this Stadium. They're passing through


the market is near the stadium. Nada followed Natya slowly from behind. It feels strange too, coming here alone and then going home together with people who only met a few times. But, thankfully too, because of this even Nada so did not have time to sad protracted


adrian and Arinta.


 “We want to mesen Grab is not from here, Nat?” tanya Nada while walking quickly following


natya's long footsteps. He was finally able to walk side by side with Natya.


 “If Grab messan will be rejected later. Actually, this is where I'm going


the hell is here.”


“Tuktuk?” guess the original tone.


 Natya laughs. “Oject, Nad.”


 “Ha, seriously?”


 Natya finally patted Tone's head slowly. “Ngak... there is a taxi kok here.”.


 “Ngapain, Nat. Very expensive taxi here if gini night. Can-can price increased ten times.”


“Yes, it's okay. Once in a while too,” Natya said. Natya stops near the bus terminal and Nada follows her. The man pulled out his phone and appeared to be calling someone. After a few minutes, the phone was switched off.


 “There, Nat?” Tone looks doubtful.


 “There. Last office person help urusin.”


 “Oh..” Tone so trying to guess what company Natya works here.


Shortly thereafter, a taxi came to take them both. At first glance Natya saw Dhito already


send a message to him.


Where's the crazy one? This is Brian saying you asked him to take a taxi he used to deket his university. 


No, I'm telling you. It's an hour's count nyampe hotel.


In the car, Nada was silent while looking at the scene outside the window. Natya actually wants to see


was he still looking at the scene outside still with a moody expression?


“Here till when, Nad?”


 Nada looked towards Natya. “Sunday. Lo?”


 “Wednesday back.”


“Oh..”


“Continue, tomorrow's plan where you're going, Nad?”


“Udah deal the same temen here, want to eat together.” Tone does not ask back.


 “Temen college first?”


"No, more precisely his girlfriend. But I also tried to get him here. They


Thursday to cancel a holiday to Seoul. My friend said he wanted to join fanmeeting or what is it.”


“Oh... Eat it from the morning until malem or eat it once with them?”


Tone so inevitably laughed at hearing that question. “Let's lunch, because the night I want to go to Asiatique and they both do not want. I'm really bosen.” Nada saw a confused expression on Natya's face.


“Lo have never been there?”


 “Entertainment. Go there anyway. I got pellets with Asiatique.”


Natya laughed. “Serious likes to ride the ring there?”


 “Iya. Wh why? Yes tacky? I said it was B doang. Where is the atmosphere is that night market. But then I like it anyway. Taste rame, but fit in the ring, can feel lonely and cool just squirm the lights color-warninya.”


“Trus, alone to it, Nad?” natya fishing line.


“Why?” Tone hesitates to continue his sentence, but yes, what happens in Bangkok, stays in Bangkok. “You together, Nat?”


“Sure. Never been up the ring because of it.”


Replace the laughing Tone. After which, the two of them enjoyed the scene outside the window in silence. Natya actually wanted to invite Nada to chat again, but she could see the look of Tone's tired face so it was not good. Let's just let Nada rest, anyway tomorrow they will be able to talk more.


The taxi finally arrived at the hotel. It was Natya who asked that at the Nada hotel


just in the past, just hotel himself.


 "How many are you, Nat?”


“Udah, safe. Tomorrow is the deal.”


Tone of amused smile. “OK. Thanks, Nat. See you tomorrow!” Nada was just about to get out of the car when suddenly Natya slid in. “Trus, what are you doing tomorrow, Nad?”


Tone held back his smile. He did not come out and turned to Natya. “Oh yes, yes already, I asked for your number. Ntar if you're already the same with me, I connectin.”


“Oh... okay..” Natya actually hopes that Nada first gave her number. But, yes, of course, rather than later not given at all and then have to open the contact card through DM IG.


 “Be careful, Nat.” Tone waving from outside the car. Natya waved back then the car continued to travel to where the man was staying.


As soon as Nada turned around to enter her hotel lobby, Nada felt her heart also become unwary.


 Nada, hope you're not weird anymore! Tone tried to scold himself. Now, he doesn't know what to expect for tomorrow.
