A Flick of Asa For Love
CHAPTER 69

...***...

“Areally you there tormented by this farewell? But, isn't this what you want, Nath? Do you know, if I was much more hurt with everything that happened,” Widya murmured while removing the clear granules that suddenly wet her cheeks.

His hand moved to pick up the phone that was on the nightstand. He scrolled the screen of his phone, until a picture appeared of someone who was still enthroned in his heart. He looked at that ugly face.

The happy smile that was once engraved between the two of them why now turned into a mourning lament? In the photo, Widya and Nathan look so friendly. Where Nathan hugs Widya from behind and they stare at each other full of cravings. The big smile they gave, proved that they were happy.

“Long, if I don't care about you. Lie, if I say I don't love you anymore. Because in fact, this love is still very big for you, to the point of making me tight to hold back the longing. But what can I do, Nath? The wound you inched is also no less big and it feels so painful. Not because of Vina, but rather your own attitude of not believing in me and no longer caring about me. Until it makes me think, the love you give is only pseudo wishful thinking.” Widya gently rubbed her phone screen as if she was rubbing Nathan's face. “Let fate bring us back if you are my soul mate. For now, maybe we better introspect each other,” continued monologue.

Long look at the phone screen, making Widya's eyes feel sore and involuntarily closed. He fell asleep with wet eyes from crying.

...***...

After Widya's house, Vina's heart felt more relieved, as if she no longer bore the heavy burden. His face was more radiant than yesterday. The next step, he will try to meet Nathan and apologize for what has happened. Because according to Exel, Nathan already knew what he did to Widya when she was drunk that night.

His steps stopped while he was in front of the apartment. A tall and handsome man was leaning next to the door of his apartment. Her charming smile just rubbed off on Vina.

“It looks so happy? Are you feeling better than Nathan?” search the tall man.

Vina shook her head, then opened the door, “Log in!” bring him.

The tall man who was none other than Exel immediately followed Vina's steps. After Exel sat down on the sofa, Vina picked up a can of cold drink and served it to Exel. “I just came home from Widya's house,” he said casually.

Exel was staring at Vina. Waiting for the continuation of Vina's sentence. After a while, Vina started talking again. “What you said yesterday is true. I'm the bad one here. I'm obsessed with having Nathan and not letting him be happy with the man who's now in control of his heart. I'm too naive. Thinking that Nathan still loves me and is willing to come back to me after what I did to him. Especially now, I'm making him hate me even more.” Vina took a deep breath and exhaled violently. His heart still feels tight if he hasn't gotten an apology from Nathan.

“Then, what will you do now?” ask Exel.

“I already apologized to Widya and asked her to go back to Nathan. Tomorrow, I'll meet Nathan back to apologize and explain everything to him.”

“Are you sure Nathan is ready to meet you?”

“I will do my best. After all, the mistake I made to her was huge. I don't expect him to forgive me after what I did, but at least I've apologized,”.

Implied a regret in the beautiful eyes of Vina. “Good, girl! I'm proud of you. You want to admit your mistake and fix it.” Exel gently rubbed the top of Vina's head, making Vina smile wryly.

“I'm not a good girl, Xel. I was the bad guy and the worst best friend Nathan ever had. My mistake with Nathan was huge.”

“But for me, you're still a good girl. I love you, Vin. Even very loving to you. Everyone must have made a mistake. Me included. Just as you want to right your wrongs, so do I. I also want to correct my mistakes with you. Give me a chance to make amends for all my mistakes, Vin!” pinta Exel sincere.

Those two eyes looked at each other. Looking for answers in a very captivating light. Exel grabbed Vina's hand, grasping it tightly. “Don't everyone deserve a second chance, Vin? Just like Nathan gave you a second chance to be his best friend, can't you give me a chance to prove I'm worthy of you?”

The clear details just glided from Vina's beautiful netra. He was so moved by what Exel said. His lips were tightly clenched. Only tears kept flowing down her cheeks. Slowly Exel covered Vina's petite face with both her big hands. Removing that clear melt with his thumb. “Don't cry, Vin! I'm really sorry and I'm sorry I hurt you.” Exel carried Vina in his arms. Clutching him tightly while kissing the head of Vina.

“I'm so mean, Xel. I came to Indonesia just to destroy my best friend. I've made Nathan's life a mess. I don't deserve to be sorry for him, do I?” tanyanya in between her sobs.

“Give Nathan time to heal his disappointment in you. I'll help talk to Nathan if needed.”

“Do not, Xel. This mess I made it. I'll finish it myself, though I'm not sure it'll all be easy.” Vina broke her embrace from Exel and looked down at Exel's face.

“Nathan is a good person. I'm sure, he'll forgive you.” Vina hesitated. He wasn't sure it was happening. “So, we're back in Singapore after you spoke to Nathan?”

Again, Vina nodded doubtfully. Perhaps with his departure Nathan can return to Widya, and that way Nathan will forgive him.

...***...

This morning the sky was so clear. There did not appear the slightest white cloud that was spoiled. Widya left for the campus along with Karin and Kartika. Unexpectedly, his gaze collided with a figure that looked so terrible when he got out of Karin's car. Apparently next to Karin's parked car is Nathan's car.

Nathan looks unkempt. Hair disheveled. There are dark circles in both eyes, indicating that he is sleep deprived. His body looks thinner. There is pain in Widya's heart seeing Nathan's appearance so messy after breaking up from her.

“Hai,” greet Nathan.

“Hai.” Widya greeted awkwardly.

For a moment they only looked at each other until Karin's voice interrupted, “Hot, nih! You guys want to keep looking here?”

Kartika gave a smile to see Widya and Nathan's wrong behavior. Nathan who rubbed his nape and Widya who immediately lowered her gaze while twisting her finger.

“Can we talk?” ask Nathan.

“Ehm, sorry, Nath. I'm in a hurry.” Widya takes a thousand steps, leaving Nathan, Karin, and Kartika behind.

“Basic, boy!” kartika Gerutu.

“We first, Nath.” Karin and Kartika leave Nathan smiling wryly.

“It turns out you're still avoiding me, Yang. Do you know, this punishment hurts so much when I can no longer talk to you and joke with you. But it's okay, I'll take this punishment until you're tired of punishing me. Because I know, the pain I'm giving you is much more painful. I will faithfully wait for you to lift this sentence and return to me. I'm sure our love is still so big that it's inseparable" Nathan said as he looked at Widya's back further away from his sight.

Nathan's daydreams broke out instantly as someone's voice disturbed his sense of hearing. “Sial!” his gerrick.
