A Flick of Asa For Love
CHAPTER 21

...***...

Located in the elite Downtown Core area, there are three skyscrapers that are the tallest buildings in Singapore. One of them is Lesmana Company Bank Center. LCBC is the third largest banking company in Singapore and one of Nathan's largest family-owned companies. Nathan's family belongs to the ranks of the richest people in Singapore who are the founders and largest shareholders of the company.

LCBC is a hereditary company founded by Nathan's great-grandfather who is of Chinese descent.

Now Nathan is with his father on the sixtieth floor, which is the highest floor in this skyscraper, because he wants to uncover the rottenness of Judah who is none other than his own uncle. Yuda has the heart to conspiracy to cheat investment or deposits worth 111 billion Singapore dollars for personal gain.

Foul is indeed the attitude of Yuda at this time, even though the advantages of this business make it quite a property, because in addition to the benefits of the shares he has, Yuda also gets a salary from his position as finance director.

“Where, son, have you audited all financial files for the past year?” daniel asked his son.

“It just got half of it, Pa.” Nathan answered while flipping through the file in front of him. Checking in detail, afraid that one point is missed.

“Papa did not think, Nath, same behavior om you. It could be that he acts as a petty to our own company,”, said Daniel while scooping his face frustrated. “Padahan papa always divides the stock profit fairly,” he said again.

“Udah, yes, Pa! Papa calm down! Now, isn't it, Nathan's here. Nathan will help Papa as much as Nathan.” can Nathan moved from his seat to his papa, rubbing his shoulders to give him strength.

Having felt enough to transfer power through words. Nathan invited his father home. Nathan felt sorry to see Daniel who was always overtime every night.

Currently the time in Singapore has shown at eight pm which means in Jakarta is currently showing at seven pm.

...****...

In India, at the same time. Located in Widya Esmeralda.

“Suk, yuk! I want Magrib!” take Arini to the princess just wayangnya, and with gontai Widya follow the steps of the mother.

“What's up, anyways? How, daddy's favorite son's face pouted gini?” ledek Bowo, because more and more days he saw Widya's condition like not having a passion for life.

“Definitely more thinking brother Nath-Nath, yes?” Bowo who saw the gloomy face of his daughter tried to comfort him, but instead of being comforted Widya instead scowled annoyed at the father.

“Ish, Dad! Udah, ah, Widya want to take ablution water first, and then the Magribnya hunt runs out.” Widya with her face still bent passed leaving her father and her mother to the tap of water to take the water.

While Arini instead hit Bowo's arm and said, “Dad is not really working, anyway. I already know his son again upset even diledekin continue!”

Even the father only chuckles to see his favorite wife and daughter sulking leaving him to take ablution water. While he went to the mosque which was between the living room and the living room to echo the adhan and iqamah.

After performing her duty as a Muslim, Widya hurriedly climbed the stairs to her room. That made Arini and Bowo sigh heavily.

“Widya, dinner first, son! Mother is already masakin your favorite butter fried chicken, nih.” Arini called her daughter from the bottom of the stairs.

“Later, Bun. Widya is not hungry yet,” said Widya from upstairs.

“Yes already, if you already feel hungry, eat immediately, yes!” tell the mother to her daughter.

“OK, Bun,” say again.

The first thing Widya did after arriving in the room was to check her phone lying on the nightstand. I hope that Nathan will give him the news earlier today. However, the results were nil because up to thirty minutes he waited, not a single notification appeared on the main screen of his phone. A sign that no one contacted him or just sent a message. That made Widya very disappointed. It was there that he began to think and deepen the feeling in his heart. He closed both eyes for a moment, then suddenly wide-eyed because Nathan's face was plastered in his thoughts. Her lips formed a knotty smile, now Widya feels sure that she also loves Nathan.

“Gue why, anyway? Why do I always think of Nathan?” ask more of yourself.

“Gue so like a bego man tau, no, because waiting for news from him,” his surprise on the HP screen that shows the handsome face of Nathan.

“Ah, but that's another kegeeran kid if I call first.” The girl was getting frustrated. He still holds prestige.

“But I kangen.” Widya said something softly, she unconsciously said that.

When he was having a monologue with himself. Widya was startled by her vibrating phone and audible ringtones, a sign there was an incoming call there. In a hurry and without seeing the caller Widya also shifted the green button sign that he received the call.

“Hallo,” replied Widya quickly.

“Hallo, Wid. What else do you think? Tumben cepet very you pick up the phone from me,” replied someone across there.

Which immediately made a sense of disappointment in Widya's heart, and made Widya's cheerful face suddenly turned cloudy, because it turns out the phone he received was not from Nathan, but from Karin—.

“Eh, elo Rin, what's up?” ask her in a disappointed tone.

“Why lo, Wid? How, suddenly that lemes? Don't like my phone?” cecar Karin, but he knew that his best friend was waiting for news from Nathan. Karin only intends to tease Widya.

“Eh, not that. Gu-gue's okay, really. I may not like the phone!” nervous answer. Karin just popped her lips without refuting anything. Until Widya back up, “Ada what do you call me?” Widya asked while trying to normalize her speech so as not to look nervous.

“Children hang out, tuh. He said we haven't been out together in a long time. How, would you like, no?” ask Karin again.

“Sorry, yes, Rin. I can't come. Go with the others! I'm again mager, nih.” Widya subtly refuses Karin's invitation.

“Yah .. Why, you so, anyway, Wid? Actually lo again mager or again waiting for a phone from Nathan?” There is a sense of disappointment because Widya refused his invitation, then Karin again chuckles considering the innocence of Widya's heart that has not realized her feelings.

“No, who's waiting for Nathan's call? My real man again mager.” Widya is still trying to evade. He was still not ready if his feelings were revealed.

“My advice, yes Wid. Instead of waiting for something uncertain, try, deh, contact him first! From gini rich, lo H2C (Please-Please be Worried).” Karin across the street tried to advise Widya, as she knew how the girl was feeling to Nathan, but she was embarrassed to admit it.

“Ish, so gaje, anyway! People say I don't miss him either. Yes, yes, Rin. I'm matiin, yeah, call from lo. I'm sleepy.” Without waiting for a response from Karin, Widya turned off the phone while frowning.

However, in contrast to Karin who actually laughed out loud in her place, because she thought of Widya who had not realized her own heart.

“Entar if Nathan's turn has been caught by people, you will surely cry bombai, Wid,” kekehnya while looking at the screen of his dead phone.

After unilaterally disconnecting the call from Karin, Widya was trapped alone on the balcony of her room. Thinking about what he should do with his feelings. Does he have to be quiet and hold back his feelings? Or start being honest with himself and Nathan, if he really misses that guy?

“Nathan, I miss the same lo,” Widya murmured softly with eyes that began to dew and chest that began to hurt because of her longing.

...***...

While in Singapore, Nathan who had just arrived in his room after returning from the office, then went to the balcony and activated his cellphone which he deactivated all day. Shortly after turning on the phone it displays the cheerful face of the girl adored his heart. With impatience Nathan began dialing Widya's number.

Before his phone call was picked up by Widya, Nathan had to mumble softly, “Widya, I miss the same lo.”

Missing two people is hindered by two countries. However, it remained under an equally dark sky.
