Escapees

Asking to Stop

"In that case, what's your answer to my proposal to you?" He looked at Nadine. Nadine looked back at Kian. They look at each other. The difference is, Nadine's heartbeat is not as tight as Kian.

"Nadine rejected your proposal, Bang Kian, either now or later"

"Oh.." The response was short. He turned his face to the waiter who delivered their food.

"Thank you, Ma'am" Kian told the waiter, who was responded by the waiter with a smile and a nod of his head.

"After this, Nadine will not ask for help again to Bang Kian, Nadine wants to stop our closeness even though only as friends, Nadine hopes that Bang Kian understands Nadine's wishes" explained Nadine. He ventured to look at Kian who was staring at him earlier. Nadine found a look of sadness on Kian's face.

"All right..." Answer Kian.

Then silence incarnated between the two of them until Windi arrived. Kian and Nadine don't talk to each other. The two of them responded more often to Windi's words.

After Kian kekeh pay for their food, Kian also apologized to Windi and Nadine, of course without looking at Nadine, because he could not take them home.

"Yaaahhh, koq is not so good, Bang Kian?" Ask Windi. He is disappointed because he hopes Kian delivers it and Nadine gets to the boarding house.

"Yes, I had a meeting at the organization's office, I wanted to be represented but after I thought, it's not good if I don't go to the meeting, sorry. Yes, you are careful, I go first" said Kian, without waiting for an answer and without looking at Windi or Nadine.

"It's weird, Nad. You don't feel it? Like it's cold that when it was warm, has the plug been removed yak?" said Windi who was surprised to see the change in attitude Kian. The heat that is usually warm becomes cold. Even with Nadine. Usually, Kian always tried to look at Nadine. But this didn't happen. Throwing his gaze away. That's Windi's assumption.

"Lo said Bang Kian rice cooker? Plugs pull out, rice so adem, hadehhh, there-there's a Lo Win"

"La endless, so strange that" repeated Windi.

Along the way home, Windi chooses to sleep. Because Windi felt Nadine did not respond well to her stories. Windi felt Nadine's mind was everywhere.

Actually he wanted to ask that, but he did not do it because Nadine did not seem to want to answer it. Nadine is a closed-off type of person. There are things that he shares with his friends, but there are also things that he keeps to himself. It will tell itself, when it is a story that you want to share. Otherwise, yes Nadine will not tell a story even if forced though.

In fact, it is true Windi thought that Nadine was thinking about something. Nadine thought about him rejecting Kian's proposal.

"I think I was very cruel to Bang Kian, even though he was very good to me" Windi murmured inwardly. He began to monologue.

"But, let it be, let it be so cruel, so that Bang Kian away, really stop approaching me" continued Nadine.

Yes, Nadine behaved like that indeed because she wanted Kian to stop approaching her and expect her. Because, during the relationship with Kian, Nadine's feelings did not lean in the least on Kian. He has no taste at all.

Nadine did not find Kian's character who met the criteria of her future life companion. No, Nadine didn't find that. If so, then give confidence to Nadine that she will not fall in love with Kian either now or even later. So instead of waiting a long time, thought Nadine, if you can give a rejection answer to Kian as soon as possible yes already as soon as possible.

Finally, Nadine and Windi, arrived at their boarding house. It feels like they want to immediately submerge themselves in their bedroom cotton mattress to relieve fatigue after Wara Wiri a day on public transportation.

Then in order to realize the desire, Nadine and Windi accelerate their steps. However, as it neared the cost, Nadine and Windi's footsteps were stopped by someone.

"Hi," said Kian.
