Inside the room, Aksa turned on her phone. Many chat messages and groups came in but the first thing he opened was a message from Nada.
Aksa, where are you?
Aksa, your problem is over. I'd like to meet you.
There's something important I want to say.
Just those three messages, the rest of the incoming calls went unanswered until countless.
"I'm sorry, Na." His heart was restless, if the night had not been late he would have slid into the house of Nada. Aksa tries to contact Nada, but Nada's whatsapp number is off. Wait a minute, not inactive but the number as in the same block of Nada. Wanted him to contact Nada through a cellular network but he didn't have a pulse. (Reader please send a pulse to Aksa, because the pulse is far away. 😁)
"Please Na, don't stay with me." Aksa tried to contact him through Instagram's Direct Message. Hope Nada opens and reads it.
How could he sleep that night, if half his mind was seized thinking of Nada. Aksa read the letter from Nada. And maybe it's the umpteenth time.
"I love you too, Na." she replied even though Nada did not hear it, just hoping that her voice could break through the boundaries of space and time.
...***...
The next day, before leaving for campus Aksa came to Nada's house. His house looked quiet even though the gate was still opened a little.
Aksa got off his bike. He walked to the door and pressed the doorbell. Several times the door was not open.
He pressed down once again, finally the door opened but it was not the tone he expected that was now before him. There was only Sumi's mother who opened the door.
"Mom, is there a tone?"
"Waduh Mas's. Mbak Nada and his family left for Bandung Mas this morning."
"Bandung Ma'am? What's the show?"
"Hmm, yes..." Mother Sumi scratched the nape of her neck for a moment. "It looks like Mbak Nada wants to continue studying there."
Aksa was silent. What Nada had really left him or was just an alibi to avoid him. "Seriously mbak? You're not lying, are you?" Want Aksa to break through and check for himself what Nada really does not have in his house but is blocked by Mbak Sumi.
"Yes, there is no one but me."
"It's pretty, sweet again. If Mbak Nada doesn't want to be the same Mas, I want to be the same Mas."
Aksa rolled her eyeballs. Household assistant Nada is like a hot worm. "I'm sorry, but I don't want to." Then Aksa immediately went to the bike and climbed on the bike. A few moments later the Aksa motor drove away from Nada's house.
Na, I won't waste this opportunity. Like I said, see you on top. We'll see you again, Na, when I'm successful.
The morning walk that was not so crowded made it quickly to the campus. He got off the bike and took off his helmet. There is less taste if without Tone.
He is now walking down the campus hallway. There were some friends who greeted and apologized to her. If only Nada was beside him at this moment surely his happiness would feel very complete.
"Aksa, you're finally back." Deni the BEM leader is now walking beside Aksa.
"Yes, thank God, my problems are over quickly."
"By the way you know about Radit?"
"Gue has read a little news in the group." the viral news Radit has filled several groups on campus. Aksa did not expect, Radit to do reckless like that.
"Gue didn't think he was like that. Uh, I heard Nada moved out of this college?"
Deni's words made Aksa sigh long. One thing he regretted very much at the moment.
"Patience. I heard from Mr. Reno, Nada ngelakuin this because he does not want any more gossip about your cheating. If you were a match with him, you would definitely meet again."
Aksa nodded in understanding.
"Lo want to come with us? We'll look at Salma."
Aksa was silent for a moment. Actually he was quite compassionate with what happened to Salma. "Yes, I'll come."
Just a day of college without Tone, it feels so lonely. Does Nada feel the same way now?
Na, I miss the same you. How do I go through the days without you.
Aksa gave a rough breath. He who has been sitting in the classroom should refocus on the material. Remember, he should be able to achieve his dreams soon. Because he was convinced, Nada was waiting for him on the edge of success.
