Allow Me to Be With You

CHAPTER 11

"Fr."

Nathan patted Frisca on the shoulder, then sat down next to her. After college, Nathan saw the girl sitting alone in the gazebo.

"Hey." replied Frisca smiling. "I'm afraid you're Nico."

The smile immediately disappeared from Nathan's face, but the next second appeared again. "Emang, does it look like that?"

Frisca just sighed. How much he expected that the one who had come and greeted him was Nico.

"Nico hasn't come home from college yet?" ask Frisca again.

Nathan looked at Frisca, wondering what Nico had done to make Frisca sad like that.

"Udah used to be this day he hasn't come home yet. Ntar most go home if not mabok, must be bonyok" said Nathan, making the look of Frisca's face immediately became worried. "Eh, kidding me." - Erat Nathan. "Most band training."

Frisca's eyes are rounded. "Nge-band?"

"Yes, he has a band. Pretty angry anyway, just he did not want to say anything. Ah, nanyain Nico mulu. That's laen!" nathan said nudging Frisca on the shoulder with his shoulder.

Frisca smiled weakly. "Abis, he's like the one who's been eating me, Nat. I'm gonna be sad."

Nathan looked at Frisca again. This girl used to pay more attention to Nico than Nathan, and Nathan never wanted it to happen again. Nico doesn't deserve Frisca's attention. Nico has decided to forget Frisca, while Nathan has never stopped thinking about her.

"When we met on the internet, I told Nico, but he's a bitch" Nathan said. "And he hasn't mentioned your name again in ten years."

Nathan didn't mean to mess with Nico, but Nico did. Nathan doesn't understand why Nico did it. For Nathan, Frisca is a very important person, but it is not so according to Nico.

Frisca bit her lips, holding her cry. "Oh, that's it" he said slowly.

"Sorry." Nathan grabbed Frisca's tiny body. "I didn't mean to say that. But no one can understand Nico. No one knows the reason why you're eating."

After hearing Nathan's words, Feisca felt tears fall down her cheeks.

Nico had completely forgotten about it. Frisca heard it. Why Nico should remember. Frisca back then was just an ugly girl in two braids.

He and Nathan don't taboo that it's been a while, Nico watches them both from inside the house. The pepsi can crumbled in his hand, spilling its contents in all directions.

Nico smokes his cigarette deep until his chest feels tight, then exhales it hard. On the back of his head to the tree so that it hurts, then he looked up to the sky.

After seeing Frisca and Nathan together in the gazebo, Nico immediately walked out of the house without caring about father's screams, then finally he reached this place, the park where Nico, was, Frisca and Nathan promised ten years ago. Nico also had no idea why his feet had brought him to this place.

Nico crouched down, leaned against a tree that read 'Nico-Frisca-Nathan', then smoked his cigarette back.

Nathan, he's always taking whatever Nico has. Mom and dad. All the gifts of Father and Mother. Lisa's. Also Frisca.

Nico grunted loudly. Friscas. That girl doesn't belong to Nico. The girl may have been Nathan's. Like everything, Nathan won't let go of Frisca who was once part of Nico's life.

It's still part of Nico's life.

Nico banged his head even harder on the tree to get rid of his thoughts just now. Frisca has been out of her life for the past ten years, ever since Frisca decided to go abroad. Frisca was no more for him. Right now, the one in his house is just an ordinary girl who will become Nathan's lover.

Nico turned his head, looking at who was calling him. Actually, Nico doesn't have to, because he already knows.

Friscas. Stand right in front of Nico with both hands in front of his chest. Nico snorted at the girl, who looked more defensive than a twinkle.

"Well, are you here? Why not go home?" ask Frisca worriedly.

"Ck. lo is not my wife" answered Nico spontaneously, then the next second regretted having said something that would be his fantasy for life.

Frisca looked at Nico sadly. Nico, who no longer knows him. Frisca watches Nico return to smoke.

"Cigarettes are not good for your health, Co!" frisca.

"Nobody cares about my health" Nico said. Even Nico himself did not care about his health.

"But I care" said Frisca suddenly, making Nico for a while feel the attention he never got. But the next second, Nico snorted.

"Huff.I think I believe it." said Nico flatly.

"Why don't you believe it?" ask Frisca.

Nico looked at Frisca in disbelief. "Why don't I believe it? Great question. Good acting." Nico got up and approached Frisca. Past it.

"Co," Frisca held Nico's hand. Nico's blood rippled, and his heartbeat accelerated madly. "You should know, I care about you."

"Our attention goes to Nathan." - Sergeant Nico. "Gue's used to not being attentive."

As Nico stepped away, Frisca felt breathless. Frisca doesn't want Nico to leave. Frisca was waiting for the right moment to be alone with Nico.

"Have you forgotten me?" sahut Frisca made Nico's move standstill. "I must come out of your own mouth. I don't trust anyone else! I believe in you!"

Nathan must have told Frisca that Nico had forgotten Frisca.

"What Nathan said is true. I've been mengelupain lo. Ck.. You think, I'm gonna want you to keep going for ten years? Like lo pantes in the air." said Nico then inhaled his cigarette with emotion.

Frisca almost cried. "Why, Co? Why did you stop taking me? Wh why? I always wanted to be like you! I never stopped expecting that day to come." he said.

"That day arrived? That day was past Fris, almost half a year! You think, I want to wait for you old sampe that? You think I'm***, no work?" nico said impatiently. His head was very painful.

"Co, I'm not lying!" frisca said, now her tears are flowing.

Nico threw away his cigarette. "Oh, so I lied? For ten years, have you been sending letters? The call? Do you have an address there? You know you're still alive, huh, are you?" nico said emotion.

Frisca cries out. Nico looked at him, then stepped on the cigarette butts that he said until the fire was out.

"Lo know? Los shouldn't have come here anymore" Nico said before turning around and leaving Frisca still sobbing.

Frisca felt her knees tremble and was no longer strong to support her. He sat down on the cold basketball court and continued to sob.

Maybe he shouldn't come here anymore.
