Widya was shocked when she heard what Harsa had just said. His mouth was agape in disbelief. Soon Widya shut her mouth back to cope with the situation. His throat felt choked to just swallow. Thankful he has a healthy heart so he does not have a heart attack right now.
Widya stared fixedly at Harsa's netra that looked so shady. It's not that he was unaware of all the attention Harsa had given him, it's just that Widya didn't think that far. He did not expect that Harsa still harbored a taste for him.
Didn't Harsa himself know how much Widya loved a Nathan. Then how could he still cultivate hope for the person whose heart was already filled with Nathan's name? Widya thought, Harsa had given up on her feelings all along and all the attention that was devoted to her was purely as a friend.
Harsa clasped Widya's fingers tightly. He knew that Widya was surprised by the spontaneous action.
“Gue knows if this is too sudden. But, Wid, I don't think I can hold this feeling much longer. I love you the same. The love in my heart makes you increase every day, until sometimes I feel crowded because I can not accommodate it. I love you, Widya Princess Esmeralda. Long time ago. Stupidly, I just realized when our relationship was over and incised a wound in the heart lo.”
Seeing the reaction of Widya who was still staring at him, Harsa continued his words, “Gue also knew that you still could not escape Nathan completely. I don't want to forget Nathan either. I just hope to replace Nathan to keep watch and keep you happy ...,
Harsa paused her words. He needs more oxygen to continue his words. While Widya was still waiting, looking at Harsa with sadness.
“Let me have the chance to love you as much as Nathan loves you. Doesn't life go on, Wid? You can't just stick around here, right? You also have to learn to open your heart to other guys. Learn to love others and I hope, you want to entrust again your heart to keep me. This time I promise, I will not waste the opportunity that will love.”
Widya. He tried to digest what Harsa had just said. They kept quiet for a long time. There was only silence that enveloped, until finally, Widya opened her mouth.
“Sa, what you already said was real.” Widya smiled, then released her hand from Harsa's warm grasp. Both beads of Widya's eyes glared upwards, staring at the night sky so bright. There were stars scattered around the moon. Like Widya's life, surrounded by many friends who always accompany her.
Hearing the sentence he just heard from Widya made the beautiful bead of Harsa sparkle happily. “So?” tanyanya is impatient. He hopes Widya gives him a second chance.
Widya went silent again. He looked again at the handsome face that had always been beside him all this time. Widya let out a long sigh before finally answering Harsa's question. He tried to string the words together so as not to hurt the heart of the person who has truly loved him.
“Gue does not deny that what you just said is true. And thank you in advance for your love for me. I really appreciate the love you love.” Widya gave her sweetest smile before continuing her sentence. “But sorry, Sa. It's not that I don't want to give you a chance to keep my heart, it's just not for now. I am not ready to open my heart. I am still enjoying this time. My time of solitude.”
The happy sparkle that had filled Harsa's sense of sight again dimmed. Harsa can guess what will happen. He just wanted to try, but unfortunately, despite knowing the answer, he was still disappointed when he heard directly from Widya. “Why?” weak tanyanya.
“Because I don't want to live a new relationship with still being overshadowed by the past. I do not want to hurt you who love me, who always take care of me, and are always there for me. I can not do that, because until now the name Nathan still reigns over my heart.”
Widya smiled bitterly. He himself had no idea why he loved a Nathan so much. I don't know what love spell Nathan used on him so he didn't have time to think of anyone else but Nathan.
Widya had fallen so deep in the ocean of Nathan's love that she felt unable to return to the surface to just breathe and see another. There's only Nathan's love that's keeping him. Love is so broad that Widya does not find the edge, even though Nathan himself has gone from this life.
“Sorry, if my answer hurts you. I am not ready to open my heart. I want Nathan to melt down before I start a new relationship. I hope you understand,” break up Widya.
“Gue don't want to wait, Sa. I don't want to be disappointed, because I don't know this until when. I want you to be happy with a girl who sincerely loves the same lo.” Widya stared at the beautiful nanar bead of Harsa.
“Gue will wait for you. I want to be there anytime, I'll wait. Loyal this will be proof that my love is also as big,” kekeh Harsa.
Silent. The silence came back. Widya is confused, she forgets that Harsa is also a stubborn figure, just like Nathan. The two men's eyes locked onto each other. Dive into the feelings of each of them will love that wants to be embraced. Until Arini's voice broke the silence. “Why talk outside? Come on in, it's cold outside,” said Arini from the terrace of the house.
“Eh, no need, Tan. Harsa wants to go home, kok.” Harsa slightly raised her voice because of the distance between the terrace and the place of its establishment which was quite far.
“Ya. Be careful when you go home. Greetings to your parents.”
“Iya, Tan.”
Arini goes back inside the house, leaving Widya and Harsa behind.
“Wid, I will seriously wait,” said Harsa. Widya just smiled in response. “Don't change your attitude to the same me, after you know my feelings,” pinta Harsa.
“Sure. Don't worry about that. “
“Gue will prove my remark earlier, Wid,” kekeh Harsa.
“Gue hope, you will not be disappointed if everything later does not match the expectations of lo.”
Harsa shook her head, “Gue will not be disappointed, because fighting for the pearl does require extraordinary sacrifices. If I'm not lucky enough to get that pearl, at least I've tried and fought. So, I will not be satisfied what the end result is like.” Harsa spoke it out with confidence. “Gue home, yes,” part.
“Be careful!”
Harsa hugs Widya for a while before getting into her car and drives away from Widya's yard. Widya's beautiful eyes followed every step of Harsa until she was no longer visible in her reach.
“I'm sorry, Sa. Hopefully I don't hurt you, now or later.”
