Touch Me!
Birthday Party

" Mom, I keep thinking about Aunt Devi's words." Nathan said as he looked at his mother who was preparing to apply for a job.

Vanya just smiled looking at Nathan from the reflection of the mirror.

" Mom, is it possible,

Vanya twisted her body before Nathan said the impossible. " It's impossible. Do you know what? there are many similar people in this world. Have you ever seen a show on TV that shows a lot of people who look like their idols? didn't you learn from that?

" I never watch TV. " Nathan threw away the face. Again he lost control. He had promised his mother. There was guilt after saying that.

Vanya walked up to Nathan who was still sitting in bed. Hugged her lovingly and stroked her hair. " I'm sorry my little Nathan. I don't have that fuss. It's just that, if we let false hope grow in the heart, long ago it will backfire. And the pain will be very painful when you realize the truth.

Nathan returned a hug from his mother. " I'm sorry Mom. I will no longer allow my heart to have false hopes.

Vanya nodded with a sad face. It's true this is his fault. But he is also grateful. Because of the mistakes he made, there is now a small figure of Nathan in his life. The happiness that flows over time feels so complete with the presence of little Nathan. So, even though Vanya knew if he had mistakes in the past, there were no regrets so deep in him.

" Huh....! it was exhausting too. The apartment is far away from here. I had to queue up the bus and walk from the stop. Argh!! my legs are sore. " Vanya grouse who was standing for a moment on the side of the road while waiting for the red light to cross. Vanya smiled happily when she saw the mini cafe next to the office building. Finally, you can get a little tired by sipping on your favorite coffee latte.

Vanya sat in a chair in the corner of the room after ordering her drink. His eyes were busy staring at the phone screen he had in his hand. As soon as he focused on the phone, Vanya did not realize that there were some girls who started whispering. ' Look at him handsome and his body is so nice. ' Yes really. ' I mean, is he an actor?' Over time, Vanya began to be disturbed by the excitement of the girls who were whispering ria. At first glance Vanya listened to what the girls were talking about. Vanya is looking for the figure they maxed out. There was a tall man in a black coat. Vanya could only look at the figure from the back then refocus with her phone.

" Vanya. " Call the waiter of the mini cafe. A sign if the drinks ordered by Vanya are ready.

Vanya walked over with a smile on her face. He just imagined how delicious it would be to sip a coffee latte right now. " good. Thanks though.

' Bruk......!

" Oh sorry. " Vanya sighed in relief after seeing her drink not spilled. But, he could only grimace bitterly when he saw the drink from the man who was being rumored was spilled and hit his suit.

" I'm sorry, Sir. I'm sorry. The man just went silent without a word.

Eh? is this guy angry or what? why just shut up? my mouth is going to be broken for apologizing. You rich man. Will definitely curse. This is usually done by the rich. After all, the suit he was wearing was a super expensive suit. Alright. Just sing in your heart so you don't have to listen to this black-eyed man's chatter.

" Sir, are you okay? " Vanya looked up to her. Staring at the black-eyed man he spilled his drink. Vanya had to ask again. His legs were already barely strong and continued to stand waiting for the man's inner response.

" yes. Its alright. " After saying those words, that tall, black-eyed man immediately passed by.

Vanya looked at him with a confused look.

" He's stupid or what? if I were him, I would've been cursing until my tongue had spasm. Too bad, I'm just a commoner who's like the skin I've got to throw away. " Vanya returned to her seat after seeing the clock in her hand. There were still thirty minutes left.

Two days later, Vanya was contacted that she passed the selection test. Vanya contacts Devi to tell her the good news.

' Vanya. You called me in time.

' Is that a sign that we are fighting?

' Your head mate! even though I'm single year, I don't want to stray.

' That's good. Real nice. I'm happy for you. But, you forgot something.

' What?

' You are truly a cursed friend! today is my birthday.

' Ah, yes. Haha. Happy birthday to you. Hope your singles are over soon.

' Shutup! do not forget to pray for yourself.

' Cih! It's up to you.

' Look, you have to come to celebrate. Let's say it's a celebration for you, too. If you don't come, I'll curse you to be a green fly.

' Heh! alright. Tell me the address.

' Ok. I'll send it via message. By. I'll see you tonight.

Vanya smiled as she hung up her phone. I think there was a happiness that he was going through. Joke with friends and hang out with the campus first. Despite that slight taste, Vanya never regretted it. The most important thing is that he has Nathan in his life.

" Mommy's going? " Tanya Nathan overhears her mother's conversation.

" yes. Do you mind if Mom leaves?

" no. Not at all, go ma'am. " Nathan smiled looking at his mother who also looked happy. Nathan felt it was good for them to return to their home country. During his stay abroad, his mother only spent time at the place where he worked and the rest of his time spent with him. No problem making his mother hang out with his friends so that he quickly forget his bitter past. Inner Nathan.

A few moments later. Vanya is preparing to leave. Again, Vanya make sure the stove in the kitchen is dead. The water faucet, the electricity, ensure the telephone connection of his apartment and then back to check the phone of his son who had filled the battery. " Hear my little Nathan. Do not turn off your GPS signal. If your phone doesn't work, use your IMO. You know who to call, right if anything happens?

Nathan sighed. " I know Mom. Of course call Mom and One nine nine. Go ma'am. I'm just gonna celebrate Aunt Devi's birthday, right? why do you want to travel to the planet Pluto? I'm big enough. I can take care of myself.

Arriving at a Night Club. Devi had already welcomed Vanya and invited her to join. Devi also forces Vanya to chug a glass of alcohol as a birthday present from Vanya. It could only follow him even though Vanya had never drank alcohol before.

After a while. Vanya felt her head dizzy and decided to go to the toilet for a while. Dizziness in his head made his footsteps wavy and several times almost fell down. It seems, he was really drunk.

Vanya sharpened his eyes when he saw there was a man who looked handsome in the front and two people in the back to the right and left of the man. Damnit damnit! damn it. His eyes were so blurry that he could not see clearly. But Vanya can make sure if the man in front of her and walking in the opposite direction with her must be a handsome man.

Suddenly Vanya's body staggered just like that.

'Grep! the man restrained Vanya's body before falling to the floor.

Vanya blinked her eyes a few times while looking closely at the face of the man holding her body and touching the man's face.

" Why do you look like my Nathan? you don't deserve to have the same face as Nathan. " His speech stopped because Vanya finally fainted.

The To Be Continued.
