A Cold Frozen Hearts

Eps. 8 Secrets

“Whatever your current status, I have no feelings for you, all that remains in this heart is disappointment, hatred, and resentment. I hate you, but I don't regret meeting you. Knowing you, therefore I am truly grateful to have been with me for those five years,” Nayla said as she got up from her seat and left the man.

“Wait a minute..”

“Do you really love that captain?”

The deg!

Nayla was surprised by Aufal's question.

“Tell me do you love her?”

“Love? Maybe!” nayla said as she left Aufal.

Raysa and Kurniawan heard what Nayla said.

“Truly there is no me in your heart anymore?” aufal asked while looking at the girl's back. “I know I was wrong, but I just love you. I will try to get you back,” Aufal said.

Three years ago...

A message went into Nayla's phone. Making Nayla's eyes widen in shock.

A message from an unfamiliar number sent a wedding photo. Surely, he knew the man. It was Aufal with a woman he did not know.

At that time he was very bad with what he saw, of course he was very hit.

Since then her life has been closed, Nayla has become very quiet and cold to the people she knows.

Closing his heart to give an opportunity for a new person to come in place of a position that had been empty in his heart.

But the problem is not in an empty position. In fact, he did not give his chance, trust, and love again for the creature that was the male gender.

***

The sound of crying is heard.

“Who is crying at this hour?” raysa asked herself. “Impressed horror,” says Raysa again.

Raysa looked for the origin of the voice, seeing Nayla sitting crying.

“You want to be an impromptu kuntilanak here?” raysa asked while putting her jacket on Nayla.

Nayla wiped her tears.

“I heard your conversation with Aufal,” said Raysa.

“Eh!”

“Me and Wawan were traveling, so we accidentally heard what you were talking about,”, Raysa explained to Nayla.

“Ah so yes!”

“Why are you crying here? Do you still have feelings for her?”

“Feelings? Impossible,” said Nayla.

“Keep if not that..”.

“I only remember Dad when talking about the past. My relationship is not like what you heard, it's harder than that,” Nayla said.

“Goal... The answer you gave Aufal... Solved..”

“Ah it. I'm not right, I just made him give up,”

The deg!

Raysa who heard the direct answer from Nayla did not like the answer.

She and Nayla had been in a relationship since a month ago, it felt so strange when she got such an answer.

“Ah so yes. I just remembered, if Wawan is your fan,”

“Em. Yeah, he already told me when I followed him to the mountain,”

“Follow him to the Mountain?”

“Yes, it seems like I made a bad impression because of you. So I straightened it out, by talking directly to him,” Nayla said.

“Ah! Tomorrow there will be activities, and we will go to help the villagers in the district near here. It's kind of remote. Sort of medical services, etc.,” says Raysa.

“I want to go too,” says Nayla.

“It's late at night, you better get some sleep,” Raysa reminded.

“You didn't sleep?”

“Ah, you go first,”

“Oke,”

Raysa looked far ahead. I don't know what he's thinking.

“I just love him..” Raysa said as she left the place.

***

“He's the captain's girlfriend right?”

“Iya true..”

“I heard he has no friends on his campus,”

Whispers sounded!

“Hey, are you guys going to keep gossiping there? Your mouth talks about others faster than your work. What's in it for you guys to gossip anyway? He never even gossiped with you guys,” Aufal said with annoyance at hearing his team members were gossiping about Nayla.

“We're sorry Doc,” they said.

“So soon finish your work,”

Aufal was so upset.

“Let me lift it,” Raysa said as she saw Nayla carrying so many things.

“No need,” says Nayla.

“Why did you bring so many things? Don't you have a team?”

“The brand is afraid of me,” said Nayla.

“Fear?”

“Yes, even when I found out that I was on this volunteer team, many resigned because of me,”, Nayla said.

Raysa only frowned, momentarily thinking if the girl who was nearby was so much trouble.

“It looks like I'm close to a troublemaker woman,” said Raysa implied.

So quickly passed...

They have returned to Kam, and made a meal because they have done a great activity today.

The atmosphere looks crowded, some are cooking, preparing a dining table, etc.

Nayla just sat alone. He knew that if he helped everyone would stop doing what they were doing.

Nayla was sitting while drinking something from a bottle, it turned out that it was a water bottle but alcohol, and was switched when they did the activity last afternoon.

Just by drinking a few times he felt a bit dizzy.

“Heat... I want ice water,” he said as he moved from his seat to the crowd.

Everyone who saw him seemed to be leaving soon.

“Yaaaaaa...” Nayla shouted very loudly to their surprise and no one left their seats.

Including Raysa and Kurniawan heard the shout, directly towards the origin of the sound.

“Why did you leave when you saw me?” asked Nayla in a raucous tone. “What's that one minute I'm in your eyes?” ask Nayla.

“What's my fault with you, why are you getting away from me?” ask Nayla. “I'm not bothering you guys, I'm not talking to you guys. But why do you hate me?” asked Nayla again in a sad tone.

Raysa who saw him drunk tried to get closer. Raysa's face was filled with sadness when she saw Nayla say that.

“I..”

“I didn't kill him,” said Nayla made Raysa's footsteps stop.

Everyone looked back at the drunken Nayla.

“I didn't kill him. They wanted to rape me,” Nayla said in tears, making the look on everyone who saw her change.

“They want to rape me,” shouted Nayla. “I'm just defending myself. They took me on the roof of the campus building, they hit me, they grabbed my hair,” Nayla said.

“But suddenly, the senior girlfriend came. They quarrel. The other senior brother tried to calm the two of them down but they accidentally made the man fall from the top of the building. And the senior was getting into a fight with his girlfriend making his girlfriend accidentally stab him with a knife. I was just helping her, so that the blood would not come out,” Nayla explained in tears, some of her classmates were recording what Nayla said.

“But you guys think of me as a psychopath, just because I always stay away from those who approach me. I have my reasons. The reason is because I don't want to love someone anymore, then choose to marry someone else,”

“I want to be friends with you guys, but you guys are scared of me,”

“Oh. There's my girlfriend here,” Nayla said when she saw Raysa then approached Raysa.

“Why are you drunk?”

“I drank the water that bottle,” Nayla said as she pointed at a bottle.

“It's Alcohol,” Kurniawan said when checking the bottle pointed at by Nayla.

“My head is dizzy..” said Nayla.

BRACKET

“I'll take you to your tent,” Raysa said as she hugged the unconscious Nayla from drinking alcohol.

The atmosphere of the dinner together seemed chaotic because of Nayla. Even so many rumors are circulating. It feels like just waiting for time, the bomb will explode on campus because of the truth news three years ago on campus.
