Allow Me to Be With You

Chapter 17

Frisca notices that after the fight, Nico's relationship with Nathan gets worse. They never talk to each other. Frisca even doubted if they had ever spoken.

Frisca observes Nico picking up a shirt in the closet. Last night, Frisca thought about giving up on Nico, but she couldn't.

“Co, why do you give me Nathan?” frisca's question arrived, making Nico stop his activities.

“What the hell is lo?” nico said as he continued his work moving clothes. Nico decides to put all his clothes in the suitcase so he doesn't have to go into this room again as long as Frisca is still here.

“Your mom said that if Nathan wanted me, he'd take it. Whatdoes thatmean? Do you think I'm stuff? I'm entitled to choose, Co!” frisca Sahut.

“So, do you want to choose me? You are crazy?” nico said with a scornful tone.

“Yes, I'm crazy! I choose you! Why am I back here? I want to see you, Co!” sahut Frisca.

Nico closed the closet, then stared at the tajammata Frisca. Looks like the girl meant it, but Nico doesn't care. No one ever chose him.

“London turned out to have changed you into a master seducer huh? Cc.ck.. Look at you now, Fris.” Sindir Nico's.

Frisca shakes. “Co, you're just skeptical! You consider me the same as the others! I'm different Co, I really care about you!”

“Fris, what's the difference with everyone else? Do you know the same? Lo khiianatin me too!” exciting Nico.

“Co, if it is yes I am wrong. I forgot your home address, I forgot your phone number. For ten years I tried to run away but even my papa mama I also did not want to! Then, on February 14, I smape crying because I don't know what to do! I miss you so much, Co” Frisca started sobbing. “Just like a month later, I saw Nathan's name on the internet, after that I just found a bright spot! You know that? I was so happy when I saw him there. That way I can get your address again, can continue to meet you again!”

Nico wanted to believe Frisca's story, but somehow Nico didn't want to take that excuse for granted.

“Co, please.. When I was at The Club, I wanted a story. Actually, so nyampe here I want a story. But because you never want to see me, you also do not look at my squirming, I doubt. I was so sad when Nathan said you'd been mengelupain me.”

Nico looked at Frisca who had now stopped crying.

“Co, you're just a taku, aren't you? You are afraid to trust people. I was wrong Co, I once betrayed you, but I was a kid! And I swear to death, I won't do that again!” sahut Frisca with all the rest of his strength.

Frisca no longer knew what to do about a boy who had lost faith in all these people. Nico was too withdrawn so Frisca could no longer reach him.

Nico looked at Frisca long ago. Nico knows, Frisca's right. Nico was too afraid to trust anyone anymore. Nico fears that if he trusts Frisca, and if Frisca betrays him once more, Nico will be completely destroyed.

“Co, all you have to do is have a little faith in me.” Frisca said slowly.

Nico is still flinching. Frisca finally nodded her head.

“Yes if you are still not sure. You want to go to college, right? Ntar, out of college, you immediately dropped home huh. I want to prove you one thing.” Frisca then smiled. “This proof is quite strong youho.” He blinked his eyes and disappeared behind the door.

For a while Nico was silent because his brain felt frozen, then continued to pack his clothes.

*****

Nico stepped onto the roof to relax for a moment before taking the next lecture. Nico pulled out a cigarette, looked at him, then remembered the scar on Frisca's palm. Nico immediately threw the cigarette onto the cement floor.

Feeling a little proud of himself, Nico sighed steadily and threw his gaze towards the basketball court. Again, he saw Nathan. The sissy was competing in the field in the girl's corner. Nico grunted loudly.

Suddenly, Nico finds Frisca sitting on the bench, screaming in encouragement to Nathan. Nico fell silent, his hands clenched violently while his blood boiled on his head. Nico picked up the cigarette he had thrown away, then turned it back on. Nico gets up while sucking that roco deep.

Nico finally came back to one conclusion. Frisca is the same as everyone else.

*****

“Hei.. finally home too.” Frisca greeted with a cheerful face as Nico appeared at the door.

Nico looked at him flatly, then stepped in and passed him just like that. Frisca looked at him in wonder.

“Co, where the hell is it? Nathan was up and he won.” Plain frisca said.

Nico tries not to care. He moved towards the fridge and took out the orange juice, then gulped it straight out of the box until it ran out.

“Co?” ask Frisca again after not getting a response. “Why you? Come on, I want to show you the evidence I said that. Nathan is waiting for you.”

Nico could not help but think how lightly Frisca mentioned Nathan's name in front of him. But Frisca seems unconscious, as she has now taken Nico's hand and brought him to the park where Nico, Nathan and Frisca once had an agreement.

Nathan was waiting, sitting under an acacia tree playing his basketball. Nico looked at him fiercely, who was instantly countered just as fiercely by Nathan. Frisca stepped towards the tree cheerfully, then looked at Nico.

“Now, let's open the application letter!” sahut Frisca surprised Nico.

Nathan and Frisca seem unaware of Nico's shock. They similarly dug up the ground right under the tree, then took out the tin of biscuits they had buried. All those memories flashed in Nico's brain so quickly that it made him dizzy.

“This is it!” sahut Frisca was happy while brandishing the dirty can, which was taken by Nathan's snort. “Come, Co, we are the same read!”

“Konyu bang.” Nico's comment was cold, making Frisca's smile suddenly disappear.

“What's ridiculous anyway?” frisca asked confusedly.

“Yes this, this is all.” Nico said with a scornful tone.

“So you took a ridiculous kia agreement?” ask Frisca offended.

“Everything's over, Fris! We are not kids anymore!” sahut Nico emotions.
