After college..
Nabila was waiting for the bus at one of the mini stops in front of the campus. He accidentally turned his phone back on, because Gabriel just kept calling him.
I don't know how many times Gabriel sent chat messages that seemed to rule. And Nabila doesn't like that.
Waiting for the bus while reading the package book. It has been almost half an hour Nabila sitting alone there, his watch has shown at half 5 pm. The girl started to worry a little, she was afraid that she had missed the last bus.
Tin Tin Tin!
There was a horn sound from the car that suddenly stopped in front of him. When I looked at the car window, it started to come down.
“Nando, what are you doing here?” Nabila was surprised because Nando was still in the Campus.
“Log in!” reply Nando relaxed but impressed firmly.
“No.” Answer Nabila while looking right and left. “Nando, get out of there. It's a Bus line, you shouldn't stop there!”
Nando smiled. “See, you're still worried about me. I know you don't really hate me. Come on Nabila, quickly enter.”
“Stop asking me to argue, I won't get in your car!” clearly Nabila.
“I don't care!” reply Nando indifferent. “I won't leave before you climb into.”
Nabila felt indignant with the stubbornness of the young man. It seems Nando is more stubborn than he is.
“Nando, don't be stubborn!”
“Then you don't either! Quickly get inside!” nando is not going to lose.
“Nando!”
“Nabila!”
They said simultaneously. The girl clucked loudly, she looked towards the right and saw a bus speeding in from a distance.
Nabila had no other choice, forced to pack his books and ran into Nando's car. Unbeknownst to them, someone was watching the two and then reporting them to someone.
“You're nothing, anyway?!” sentak Nabila was upset.
“I just want to take you home, that's all. Can't it?”
“I told you not to pe—“
“Until when will you be like this? You're not tired of being mad at me, what should I do for you to forgive me, La ?”
Nabila was a little surprised, he did not expect that Nando would say such a thing.
“Please don't discuss this again, Nando. I'm really fed up with all this.”
Nando smiled thinly. “I know, Nabila. These are all my faults and selfishness. But I also have a reason, this is not of my own volition.”
Nabila just silent while bowing his head, he did not dare to look at Nando who was driving slowly.
“When, maybe for you this is just bullshit from me. But honestly, I can't forget you. And I hope you still have that feeling for me”
Nabila clenched her hands tightly, she did not dare look at Nando right now. But he had been eager to ask this since yesterday.
“Ndo, I want to ask you something. Can?” lirih Nabila's.
“What?”
Nabila ventured into Nando's eyes. It looks like the eyes are starting to glaze over, even though Nabila has not said the question.
Seemed struck by lightning and stabbed simultaneously, Nando was unable to answer Nabila's question. He did not expect this girl to be able to guess what happened to him.
That is exactly what Nando is experiencing. At that time he was told by his father that Nabila did not survive, and it made him depressed. But in the end Kevin said the truth about the state of Nabila. To make him desperate to return to Indonesia and leave his study.
“You must have thought I was dead, right, that's why you didn't come back!” tears dripped from both corners of Nabila's eyes.
“No Nabila, it's all not true” Nando does not dare to be honest, because it will hurt Nabila's feelings even deeper.
Nabila continued to cry which made Nando when he saw her feel unbearable, but every time he tried to touch her. Nabila always brushed off his hand, the girl began to sob and re-express his heart.
“AT THAT TIME I WAS SO SCARED OF NDO. AND I HOPE YOU ACCOMPANY ME!”
“When I apologize.”
Nabila laughed cynically. “Apologies?! That's all you can do, not.”
“Then what can I do, Nabila? Please tell me.”
“Nothing! I already don't care about you, Ndo. I really hate you!” hysterical Nabila.
Nando really felt desperate, he didn't know what to answer now. Nabila really didn't want to listen to him. While Nando's feelings feel more and more iris every time the girl sobbed.
“Nabila, I beg you not to cry.”
Unable to hear it, Nando stopped his car to the side of the road. He immediately removed his seat belt and pulled the girl into his arms.
“I'm really sorry, Nabila. I'm just as devastated, I'm devastated by your loss” whispered softly Nando.
Nabila was getting sobbing, he returned Nando's embrace with no less tight. To be honest he also felt lost, even though he was already comfortable with Kevin. But his memories with Nando are so profound.
Long enough Nando hugged Nabila's body, he just let go when the girl was really calm. For a moment Nando stared fixedly at Nabila's eyes that were immediately swollen.
“Don't cry, your eyes are small. If you cry again, you should need goggles” Nando said intentionally to comfort her.
Because his heart was already relieved, Nabila could smile a little. Especially when Nando wiped the tears that wet his cheeks.
“Nabila, listen to me.”
Nando spoke very softly, he did not want to hurt Nabila. Very comparable to Gabriel who often snapped at him.
“You may be angry with me, but please never avoid me. If you keep avoiding me, how can I make you forgive me?!”
Nabila still could not speak, and Nando did not demand an answer from the girl. As long as this girl wanted to hear it, it was more than enough.
“Calm down, we need to talk again with a cool head. Now, I'll take you home” Nando back in his seatbelt.
The car drove back to the Nabila Apartment, arriving in front of the alley. Nando immediately came down to open the door for Nabila, because the action was Nabila again remembered their togetherness.
Nabila used to be picked up by Nando using a motorcycle. And when he's going down, Nando will come down first to take off Nabila's helmet.
“Heart down” said Nando while helping Nabila down.
Now the two faced each other, Nando looked softly at Nabila's eyes while rubbing the top of the girl's head.
“Now go in and rest, tomorrow we will discuss it back”
Nabila just nodded his head, Nando said goodbye and went back into his car. This time Nabila continued to look at Nando starting from the young man getting into the car until the car was completely lost from his sight.
“Can I receive you back, Ndo?”
