A Flick of Asa For Love
CHAPTER 63

...***...

Vina kept on fumbling, saying things about her feelings for Nathan. Starting from his regrets that left Nathan until he realized he still has a taste for Nathan. "Nath, when you're away from me, I miss you so much. I want you back. I hate Exel, he's just using my body. In fact he also brought another girl to his apartment."

At first Nathan forbids Vina to drink again, but Nathan thinks maybe this way Vina will be honest with what she does, especially about Nathan and Widya's relationship.

Seeing Vina who had begun to stagger and become the center of attention for some people in the place, Nathan finally took the initiative to take her away. Although there was already a sense of annoyance and disgust, but Nathan did not until the heart left the girl who had once filled his heart alone in such a place. Going to a place like the Night Club Lounge is common in Singapore, and seeing Vina getting drunk is new to Nathan, because Nathan himself does not like to drink alcoholic beverages even if it is low levels.

"So this is how you actually do it, Vin. Like drunkenness," Nathan murmured as he hugged Vina towards the car. He learned a new fact that Vina likes to drink from Vina's own rags.

"Darling, where are you taking me? Come on, we'll drink again until we're drunk and after that we can skip the hot night together!" Nathan slammed Vina into the passenger seat when the car door opened. Nathan was so disgusted to hear Vina's words that he had just heard. However, Vina herself was just grinning because she was already in a state of heavy drunkenness.

"It's true what Exel said. You can't keep your honor as a woman, Vin." Nathan slammed the door of his car due to the overflow of emotions he was holding.

With a rumbling heart and full of emotion, Nathan immediately drove his car to Vina's apartment. In the car Vina still occasionally raved to call Nathan with affectionate calls, but Nathan did not respond at all. He focused on driving. Twelve o'clock in the night, they left the cursed place. For Nathan, the nightclub is the illegal place he went to during his stay in Jakarta. In such a place, he used to first know Exel. Vina introduced him as a friend. Vina says that Exel was the upperclassman of her time in high school. Until finally there was a long drama that happened between him, Vina, and Exel.

Nathan's cell phone rang when he entered Vina's apartment parking lot. Call from an unknown number. Nathan wanted to ignore it, but his curiosity overcame his laziness. “Who's night-night gini phone?” inner Nathan. Nathan picked up his phone immediately.

From across the street came the voice of a woman. "Aren't you aware that she's the one who broke your relationship with Widya? It turns out you're stupid, Nat." Laughter from across the deafening Nathan. "Lo stands up for women who have destroyed your own happiness. Separating you from the person you say you love. I'm sorry I ever liked fools like you, Nat." Nathan did not respond, the phone was decided from across the street.

There's a huge tightness in Nathan's chest, somehow for this time he's justified Cindy's words. Yeah, the girl who called him was Cindy. Nathan recognized his voice. Cindy, who accidentally sees Nathan embracing Vina in the club's parking lot, feels unacceptable. How can Vina act as the mastermind of the breakdown of Nathan and Widya's relationship, but only herself is affected by Nathan's anger. Now Vina is closer to Nathan.

Disappointment and great heartache also make Cindy no longer sweet to Nathan. For him, his feelings for Nathan are gone, but there's still a sense of hate that he's still holding for revenge.

Again and again, Nathan had to refrain from venting his emotions, because he also knew it was useless he did to the unconscious girl beside him. He was forced to carry the body of the girl. Although he was reluctant to look at Vina's face. The trip to Vina's apartment room was a long one for Nathan. The girl he had loved seven years ago, but now her attitude is very different. In the past, for Nathan Vina was not only a lover, but also a friend who always listened to Nathan's complaints that sometimes felt lonely. Because the busyness of his working father and his mother who nurtured his twin sister made Nathan feel ignored. Although both of Nathan's parents always try to take time and pay attention to Nathan, Nathan still feels lonely.

At that time Vina was a loyal friend to fill the emptiness in Nathan's heart. That is why even though Vina has hurt Nathan, Nathan cannot completely hate Vina. Does that apply to the moment too? I don't know, Nathan's mind is still messed up. Disappointment really makes him sick of seeing Vina, especially with her current circumstances. Nathan awakens from his daydream when he reaches the door of Vina's apartment. With great difficulty he opened the door, as he was still holding Vina.

With Nathan deftly typing the room code Vina. The code that Vina mentioned many times until she memorized, because Vina used Nathan's birth date for her apartment code. With hope, Nathan would visit Vina at any time. However, Nathan never thought or arguably insensitive. The apartment door was open. He immediately took the girl's body to the room, then he lay it down. Nathan immediately turned around to go home. Just one step Nathan walked, he heard Vina's voice whining.

Hearing that voice Nathan turned around again, not out of pity, but more into curiosity. What other truth will Vina say? Finally, Nathan tried to get Vina to speak even in a semi-conscious state.

"Tell me the truth, Vin! What really happened on your birthday?" Silent. There was no response from Vina, but Nathan still continued. "Is it true that you deliberately dropped yourself into the pool, Vin? To create a misunderstanding between me and Widya?" with an overabundance Nathan asked, but there was also no answer until Nathan finally turned his body intending to go home. There is no point in lingering in Vina's apartment. He also did not want to be suspected of doing anything strange. Although it is common knowledge among teenagers today, it is not for Nathan and his friends. His footsteps stopped when he heard Vina's words.

"You know, Nat, for the sake of wanting to be with you again, I sent a photo to Widya, just to make her mad at you. I also kept provoking her so she was jealous of our closeness and you guys ended up fighting, then broke up. Honey it doesn't happen.” Vina sighed. His eyes were empty as if he was remembering something. “I'm also willing to pretend I can't swim. I made Widya as the culprit, so you hate Widya and break up with her, because I can't see you happy with another girl, Nat. You should be happy with me. Just with me!" racau Vina accompanied by sobs.

It was like a bomb ready to explode, so Nathan's emotions. Jaw hardens. His hands clenched firmly ready to hit anything. However, rather than him venting his emotions to Vina who was clearly unconscious with his words, Nathan chose to leave without looking back. He slammed the door of the apartment, he did not care if the door would be broken. With quick steps he headed to the car park. Getting there, she overflows her emotions by kicking her own car, scrambling her hair in frustration.

“Argh ...” Nathan shouted along with a clear grain dripping from the corner of his eye. “You are evil, Vin! Wicked! Never once did it cross my mind you would be this jerk.” Satisfied with the raving, Nathan drove his car with a chaotic feeling of anger, disappointment, hate. That sense was not only aimed at Vina, but also at her.

Nathan gripped tightly at the wheel of his car while shouting. He cursed himself. It's true what Cindy said she was stupid, maybe all this time she couldn't trust her lover. In fact hurt her by further defending Vina who in reality had destroyed their relationship. Melt of tears soaked her cheeks as she remembered it, even now Widya was already her ex-lover.

"I'm sorry, honey. Widya, forgive me for not believing what you said. Now I believe, honey. Please come back to me!" while shaking Nathan's head monologue. "No, Honey. People like me don't deserve to be sorry for you I'm stupid. I could have been fooled. I can't believe you." Nathan blames himself. Her tears kept flowing along her way home.

It felt like she went to Widya's house to apologize to the girl, but she didn't have the confidence to do so. Sufficient guilt prevented him, let alone this was already midnight. Must be Widya sleeping and having a good dream.

Widya's shadow kept spinning in her head. Nathan continues to remember his time with Widya. Widya was hurt by Harsa. Nathan cursed himself even more. "Damn! I was even more evil than Harsa who had hurt Widya at that time," Nathan growled at her. His tears were growing more and more with his regret.

"I'm sorry, sweetie ..." - full of regrets.
