WHY LOVE
Awal

Supposedly, this was a night that would bring happiness to Nico, he really hoped that his long wait for love would be reciprocated with the expression 'Yes, I will'' of him who is now a widow.

Nico hurriedly left the cafe feeling angry and disappointed. Leaving Vita in tears and feeling remorse after she recounted her forbidden relationship with Edward.

Asa returns when Vita, the woman she loves and awaits is already a widow status. Nico has expressed his heart to ask the woman to be his wife. But that was then, because now the woman he invited was pregnant by another man.

Nico drove his car at high speed, through the quiet and desolate streets. Many times he screamed, hit the steering wheel, venting his anger.

"Stupid...stupid..arghhh why can I be blinded love..shittttt...." Nico yelled in his car.

"Vita..kamu why so this..why did you become a cheap woman hah-" back Nico raved, venting all the turmoil and disappointment. Flashback memories during school, when together with Vita flashed in the memory of his head.

A man, when he feels the pain of a broken heart he does not cry roaring like women do. But the glazed corners of her eyes signify her deep heartache. This is what Nico felt.

Ciiiiittt. The sound of his car's brakes was heard squeaking loudly at night, because Nico stepped on the brake pedal at once. He suddenly saw that someone was going to cross so that reflexes stepped on the brakes. The road is minimal lighting and chaotic mood makes Nico not too focused on looking at the road.

"Gosh, did I hit him ?" Nico got out of the car, saw a woman lying unconscious on the asphalt with minimal illumination.

"Oh my God, how did I hit him ?" Nico squeezed his hair, panicking. He crouched down next to the woman who was motionless. His face is invisible because his body position is tilted and covered with the tip of the hijab.

"There was a collision.there was a collision.." shouted a man running to call the citizens who were playing cards at the patrol post and called the young men who were hanging out playing guitar near the bridge.

Nico grew even more panicked, when he saw many citizens running towards him. Some carried something in their hands, I don't know what it was because Nico didn't see it. Finally, he decided to save himself for fear of the silence of the masses.

Nico ran into the car, turning around quickly. Not to neglect responsibility, but to shy away from the possibility of future rampage that will be vigilante.

"Wooyyyy don't run away wooyyyy.." residents yelled trying to chase after the car driven by Nico but not overtaken because Nico took it at high speed.

"Bang...seen no car is not ?" ask the other residents who are chasing behind, his breathing is dull.

"I don't see it. My eyes are blurry when reading less light, dark this.." replied the brother.

"After all, we help the victim first.fear why-why," others chimed.

"Astagfirullahaladzim's chat....Sacred...wake up son!" a mother came in a hurry to unravel the crowd. He screamed hysterically at the condition of his son lying unconscious.

"Fathers please find an Ambulance.please help my son....!" the mother screamed while crying to see people just watching some even taking pictures and recording videos with e-cigarettes.

"If you wait for the old Ambulance ma'am..we ask for help a car that passes by.." said one resident.

Residents intercepted every passing car, but some refused. Luckily the next car was willing to take the victim to the hospital.

Two stifling events must be experienced by Nico tonight, beyond his expectations. A dark night of immortality without a sprinkling of stars, due to the cloudy middle of the sky, bears witness to the silent starting point of a new journey Nico's story treads the days ahead.
