Forgive Me, Love

16. Sixteen

The day keeps changing. The scorn of Novia from the neighbors is getting more spicy every day. And almost every day, the mother always asked Novia to get married as soon as possible.

This information is not missed Boby. Almost every day, Boby always monitors around Novia.

Novia's life is getting messy more and more. He has to face everything himself. There was no one he could complain to. And that's exactly what a Novia is. He who is always known by people who are always cheerful, actually holds a lot of pain in his heart. He always kept all his problems to himself. Even his parents never knew the problems he was facing.

At school, Dennis was getting more and more aggressive approach. Several times he came to Novia's house on the grounds of asking to be taught material that he did not understand. This became one of the scorn of mothers in the village about Novia.

Novia chose to silence her. With a smile, he still greeted the mothers.

That day, Novia and her group of friends held a routine activity in her village. That afternoon, they were all busy preparing for an art show that would be held at night.

" Consumption for tonight, ready, Nov?" ask Toni.

Muhammad Sultoni is usually called Toni, the leader of the youth association in the village of Novia. I have loved Novia for a long time. He always tried to make Novia laugh when he saw Novia was in trouble. Well, because it's been a long friend, Toni memorized the look on Novia's face when she was in trouble. Even though Novia never told a story.

" Take it all.." replied Novia lightly.

" Hufft!! Tired bener. " complained Toni while shaking her butt in the seat next to Novia sitting.

" It's just tired. But well, understandably yes, the age has begun to age...Ha.ha.ha.ha.." said Novia with the ledekan.

" Eh, if I'm old, then you are too. We are the same age." replied Toni lightly and after that, she stuck out her tongue mocking Novia.

The one ridiculed immediately put on a pouting face.

" Tuh. if the frown so it looks old. "

" It's good of you." Novia replied upsetly as she pinched Toni's arm.

" A...Au..au... sick tau! "

" Biain.eh, as long as you know yes yes.I if you already wear clothes like this, continue to hang out with my students, no one will know that I am the teacher. " novia said with pride.

" Eh..eh..eh.this is what we are together here... Be careful you know.ntar the third syaiton.." sidelines Dedi who is also a member of the association and came suddenly.

" Yes. means you are the syaiton." replied Toni. then Toni and Novia laughed together.

I love it when you call me senorita...

Novia's phone rang. It stopped his laughter immediately. He took the phone in his pants pocket. Then he swiped his phone screen up.

" Hello, assalamualaikum. "

" Not bother Nov?"

" Not really mas. Just a minute.."

Novia said goodbye to Toni and Dedi to pick up the phone outside.

" What's wrong? "

" Mmm, tonight, can we meet?"

" What's wrong? Is there a problem with the project? Or maybe Boby's got a problem with the company's financial statements again?" tanya Novia. Indeed Boby had asked Novia for help to check his company's financial statements. Since he had already checked many times, the results changed continuously.

" No. No problem with the project. And thank God, the company is also good. "

" Thank God. If so, what's all of a sudden Boby met?"

" There's something I want to talk to you about. No less important than the project. How, can you?"

" What a hell. Tonight, Novia has a similar event at the Novia venue. I'm just starting to whip things up."

" What time is the show?"

" The beginning of magrib. "

" finished?"

" It usually finishes until night. Sometimes it's almost midnight."

" If you for example ask permission with your friends for a moment, can you? I'll pick you up later, and if our business is over, I'll take you back to your show. "

" Please Nov...It's really important. I have to talk to you about this. "

" Yes, I tried to ask permission from the chairman first. Boby I will be calling. "

" Okay, I'm waiting for news. "

" Yes mas. Assalamualaikum says. "

" Waalaikum salam. "the call was interrupted.

Novia immediately went back into the room where Toni and Dedi were.

When Novia went inside, Toni was seen poking Dedi's hand. There seems to be a secret conversation between them.

The flash back

When Novia comes out of the room to pick up the phone from someone, Dedi and Toni engage in a serious conversation.

" Ton, how? When do you want to express your feelings to Novia?" ask Dedi

" I don't have the courage for that. "

" Fear of rejection? Hahe, cemen!" ledek Dedi's.

" It's not Ded. I just don't want to add to his mind Novia. Anyway, we also know, whose Novia's heart belongs to?" said Toni.

" yes. But there is no harm in trying. Who knows Novia would want to be with you. "

Toni smiled smirkily to herself. Then say "Distant Ded. Far from shadow. Obviously, I lost to Candra. Religion, I lost too. What do I want to contribute?"

" You're closer to Novia. Maybe you can make Novia comfortable."

Toni shook her head.

" No Ded. I know how they both feel. They both still love each other. I know it. In their hearts, they still needed each other. "

" Don't be so ignorant of you. If Candra still loves Novia, why not turn it back?"

" You know, too, I'm the same name as Candra. I just talked to him yesterday. He's told a lot of stories. He said he still loves Novia very much. He also wanted to bring back Novia to his side. But he needs time to convince himself. If Novia is really ready to be his wife. I don't want to ruin my friendship with both of them" Toni explained .

He could only take a deep breath. And exhaled.

" Continue now, you are willing and satisfied, just looking and staring at Novia, without having it?" ask Dedi.

Now it was Toni's turn to take a deep breath and exhale violently.

" Let's not let you regret, if one day, it's not Candra who has Novia. But someone else " added Dedi.

" That means Novia is not my soul mate" replied Toni with a heavy-looking smile.

" Don't let you cry ! I'm gonna fuck you." ledek Dedi.

Suddenly Novia went back into the room. Toni, who saw him, immediately warned Dedi to stop the conversation.

Flash back off

" So seriously, what are you talking about?" ask Novia kepo when she enters the room.

" Hizzzz.... want to know very well.....why do you want to know?" cananda Dedi's.

" Auk ah..males is talking to you. " replied Novia sebel.

In fact, Novia and Dedi's relationship is quite close. Novia considers Dedi as her younger brother. And so is Dedi. Dedi already considers Novia as his older sister.

If Novia looks like there is a problem, Dedi always says "Mr Nov, if there is a problem, you can tell me the same story. Don't keep all of it to yourself. " But Novia just smiled in response to Dedi.
