A Flick of Asa For Love
CHAPTER 94

...***...

It was so hard for Harsa and the others to take Widya out. In all sorts of ways and for whatever reason it still doesn't work. Widya still doesn't want to go anywhere. His mind was too busy to remember Nathan, all about Nathan.

The friends can only give encouragement to Widya who has lost half her soul. Actually Widya was tired of this situation that can only cry and mourn destiny, but she could not yet move from sadness. Widya is still not happy with the departure of her lover.

Widya always thinks, why the end of her love like this? Sweet at the beginning, then felt crowded in half the journey, until it ended tragically with the departure of Nathan. Go for ever, and never come back to him.

Is this pain loving? Even his dreams are simple. Married to a creature of God who became his choice, to complete the longest worship in his life. Is it wrong too? Looking forward to aging together and experiencing all of their every process of happiness in the marriage bond? All those questions were always a frightening specter in Widya's heart. Widya always thinks that she is the one who suffers the most and has the most bad luck in the world. Widya is really not ready with Nathan's departure without a message. Although he realized it was wrong, but it turned out that his heart was so fragile to accept.

"I miss you, Nath!" The words Widya always says all the time.

...*** ...

A bright morning is always greeted by the squeals of small birds flying here and there. As if they want to tell if they are so happy to be friends with the morning sun that always starts the day.

Mother Arini hopes that her beloved baby who is dissolving in endless sorrow will be as happy and as happy as the little birds. He was never tired of comforting and advising his son to get up from the slump.

"Son, mother allow you to be sad, but you must rise from this sorrow! We will all experience what is called loss. Remember, all who live will surely experience death. It's not just you who lost Nathan. Think about Mama Liana? He must have been more hurt when he lost Nathan than you did, honey. Then why does Mama Liana look so tough in front of us? It was because he was guarding the hearts of his other family. They would be devastated if Mama Liana continued to fall into grief. Life must go on, not just limited to today, son." Arini gave Widya a lengthy piece of advice. The girl was lying down with her head in her lap.

"I know, Bun. What missed me was never my destiny, and what was destined for me will never miss me. However, this fate was missed so quickly. I'm not ready, Bun." Widya said shrewdly. A line of tears dripped back soaked his lap.

"It's all by His will, son. That's much more beautiful. Although the word sincere is very easy to say, but the hardest to run. At least you can release slowly, and try to rise from the sense of loss," said Mother while gently rubbing Widya's head. Widya was silent while closing her eyes. Even so, tears are still able to penetrate the closed eyelid. Widya tries to absorb every advice that comes from Arini's mouth. Sometimes he was bored with all the advice of his father–bunda whose contents are always the same. However, Widya immediately realized, if it was all for the good of her.

...*** ...

This afternoon Arini and Widya plan to visit Liana's mother's house. They brought the cake made by them both. More precisely Arini who made, and accompanied by Widya. Black matic motor speeding on the road. Bring two beautiful women of that generation. Mother Arini is riding a motorcycle, and Widya is piggybacking behind her. Arini is still worried if Widya is riding the motorcycle.

After about twenty-five minutes of driving, the two arrived at Liana's house. The house has so many memories of Nathan. Widya's heart ached again when her legs began to climb the courtyard of the house. "Yuk, Son! You are strong, really," asked Arini to hold Widya's hand. Trying to give strength when he saw his son back washed away in sadness. They walked to Nathan's terrace. It just so happened that the occupants of the house were there.

"Assalamualaikum," cried Arini.

"Waalaikumsalam," replied Mama Liana. He immediately hugged Widya's body. "Your namesake wants to play here, son," said Liana trying to refrain from crying. He did not want to look weak in front of Widya. For the girl to recover from her sadness immediately.

Daniel who was cleaning his son's favorite car–si Mini Copper also stopped his activities and joined in approaching Widya and her mother. Rubbing the top of the head of the girl who was almost his daughter-in-law gently. "You healthy, son?" ask Daniel. Widya replied with a nod of her head.

"Eh, here, baby! Coincidentally, my mom and the twins are shabbily. Come on, sit here, son, Jeng Arini." Seeing the atmosphere of sadness began to crack open again. Liana immediately pulled Widya and Arini's hand, inviting her to sit on the lounge chair that was on the porch of the house.

"Thank God, Jeng. Widya is much better than before. Although sometimes he still often cry if again alone in the room," replied Mother Arini chimed in. The middle-aged woman always tried to look strong when she saw her son was always overwhelmed with sadness.

"Widya, darling. You can't cry on. God's test will not exceed the limits of His servant's ability, son. Mama believes Widya can definitely get through all this patiently," said Mama Liana.

They also chatted casually. Fun to tell you to come here. Widya also tells about Harsa who invited her to go on vacation with her friends. Of course Mother Arini and Mama Liana supported the proposal.

"Go, Honey! Don't torture yourself like this! Had Nathan been around, he wouldn't have liked to see you like this either. We learn to make love does not mean to forget, yes, dear," exclaimed mama Liana while stroking the girl's hair. "Do what you have to! Losing doesn't mean we have no hope, right? Achieve your dreams and realize what your goals were with Nathan first!" Mama Liana added her advice.

Liana's affection for Widya was as great as it was for Nathan. Widya thought for a moment, before she finally agreed to Harsa's invitation to take her on vacation.

Widya decided to give the news over a phone call. He took out a flat object from his sling bag and made a call to Harsa's number. Ringtones were heard, but not yet lifted by the owner. Soon, the call was connected as well.

"Assalamualaikum, Sa," Widya said slowly.

"Guiland, Wid." Harsa, who was driving, pulled her car over on the shoulder of the road. His smile immediately expands when he sees Widya's name on the screen of his phone. "Hello, Wid. Are you still there?" asked Harsa when for a moment there was no sound Widya.

"Ehm .. yes, Sa," said Widya a little hesitant, "gue just wanted to tell you, Sa. I accepted your offer to take a vacation the other day" Widya said.

Harsa widened her eyes as if in disbelief. "Yes, Wid? I'm not dreaming anymore, am I? Uh, wait a sec! I'll pinch my cheek first." Harsa was acting silly pinching her own hand. "Ouch! Sick, yes, it turns out," chuckles later, "meaning this isn't a dream, Wid. Thank God, you finally want to also vacation with us. Thanks, yeah, Wid. Thanks a lot." Harsa continued to talk, while Widya only fell silent listening to the silliness of Harsa just now. Although it can not be denied that silly behavior is able to make both corners of the lips form a thin smile.

"Yes, Sa. Let's tell me when it's time!" exclamation Widya.

"Okay, hopefully with the holidays your feelings get better, yeah. Let the kids set everything up. Just wait, okay." How happy Harsa heard Widya agreed to take a vacation with her friends. Until the call ended a happy smile continued to cling to Harsa's lips.

Mother Arini and Mama Liana also feel the same happiness. Widya was willing to talk as usual. Hopefully with the holidays the sadness will be sidetracked.

However, in reality the sadness was still perfectly inherent in Widya's heart. The girl did not rule out her longing to meet Nathan. Widya does that just to make her parents happy. Whether or not Widya can go on vacation. Widya doesn't want to think too far. His mind and heart were still filled with Nathan. Widya is still selfish with her feelings. “Sorry that I lied to you all. My heart is still not fully healed. Sorry for my selfishness. I still want to enjoy each of this pain myself. If pretending to be happy can make all of you calm down, I will do as I can,” inner Widya while smiling wryly at Arini and Liana.
