Lovely Love

Pick up Love

With lethargy Nadine sat on the side of the bed. He just came home from college to see the results of the practicum exam. His grades were excellent, but he was not happy, not proud.

Nadine's eyes were fixed on the small calendar at the study table. There's a black circle falling today where Gerdy should have come. Means it's been a week since he came home from Kalimantan. Whether the research was successful or not, there was never any news.

Nadine recalled Gerdy's words each time she would face the test, "If your grades are good, you can catch my head by the number you get."

Nadine knew Gerdy was joking. Motivate. But he wanted the young man to keep his promise. He was by his side when faced with a moment that was considered important.

"Just get the car I open the door myself" Nadine said. "Wear the headpiece."

"You want the door open? Don't ask for clothes!"

"Don't come from!"

"Please distinguish between boyfriend and private driver."

"All boyfriends at the lodge don't feel like chauffeurs."

"Clearly! Their job is not just to open the car door! But also open the door! Undressing in the room! Well, me? You can only stand at the door if you're going to training!"

Fuck, Nadine grumbled in her heart. It's just a matter of opening the car door so it widens everywhere.

Gerdy is the only girlfriend in the lodge who never opens the car door, carries a grocery bag, let alone wipe the leftovers on the lips with a tissue.

Gerdy doesn't like to show off his affection in public. Nadine holding his hand was rejected. He was only willing to receive romantic treatment in a supportive place for it.

It made Nadine proud of him. He managed to build love to spur their passion in achieving learning achievement. Most girlfriends at the lodge even invited to skip college.

Gerdy was the only one who noticed the development of his studies. Every time we meet, we never forget to ask. Sometimes Nadine deliberately makes the value fall because she wants to be more noticed.

Nadine can be the most spoiled little girl or teenage girl who can not be separated from the problem. Gerdy always patiently listens and finds a way out.

Gerdy is the right person for him. As Nadine loses her parents' affection and attention, she comes in for the. And the presence of a third person messed things up.

Karlina was a gray-white girl who deeply disturbed his mind. There is a sense of jealousy that does not want to disappear every time Gerdy comes home for his future wife. Their closeness due to the rope of matchmaking caused ripples that gnawed at the dreams he built.

It is not a mistake that Karlina fell in love with a handsome and wealthy young man. And it is only natural that Gerdy is tempted by the gray-white charm. Damn Nadine, fell for the wrong guy! Play boy!

"Why do you do it again with Karlina?" nadine asked at dinner in a cafe. "Dinner too?"

Gerdy replied straightforwardly, "Don't talk about other women while I'm enjoying dinner with my girlfriend."

To be honest Nadine did not want to know what they were doing, she just wanted to know what came out of their actions.

Gerdy seemed to close himself to discuss the people around him, while Nadine often told about the people closest to him, until the smallest thing.

Gerdy just wants to talk about what they're going through and feeling. He only spoke briefly about the status of the people closest to his heart.

Gerdy just explained that he didn't love Karlina. They always leave every Sunday night. It's been. He never explained in detail, even though many things happened.

Having a boyfriend like Gerdy is like putting an egg on the tip of a horn. Nadine must be ready at all times to fall and break. Moreover, he felt that Karlina was more worthy to be a daughter-in-law in the palace.

Gerdy is not a male figure who loves a woman based on seed, bebet, and weights. Family background is just the spice of his love. What he saw was what kind of woman deserved to accompany his life. That's what makes Nadine so big.

So he kept the dream and watered it every day. He must be good at taking care of his love.

Then came Bradley. The dashing and handsome CEO who begins to erode Gerdy's trust in him.

"So off?" nadine asked on the phone at their last conversation.

"So dong."

"Home bring some souvenirs."

"By what?"

"I'm just gonna kidnap him for one of those crazy lads, so don't bother you."

"He's a CEO, not a crazy young man."

"There's no gorgeous secretary."

"The first condition of being a secretary is attractive, so there's no way the secretary isn't pretty."

"Why then are you still chasing after me?"

"So you love me because I'm beautiful?"

"I want to change your face."

"I want to nongki at our favorite cafe. Wanted all night."

"Bradley wasn't invited, was he?"

Every conversation must have ended up to that young man. His incredible charm builds excessive worry in Gerdy.

Bradley is a symbol of young executive success. Every man must doubt his girlfriend if he is the target of the young man. And Nadine's birthday party erodes the meaning of loyalty. Even until the sky collapsed, his love was only for Gerdy!

Initially Nadine hoped Gerdy would hear his explanation and open the door to apologize for him. But when his calling was not received and hundreds of chat unrequited, Nadine realized, Gerdy was not just disappointed. He wanted to leave himself before Bradley could snatch it out of his hands! Where is his pride as a man?

"It's good that Gerdy is offended" commented Rindy, the lodge friend who gets the most facilities from the CEO. "So there's a reason to accept Bradley."

"My girlfriend deserves to be offended" Nadine said. "I never celebrated a birthday with him, but that night I celebrated with Bradley."

"You're celebrating birthdays with the rest of the lodge, not just Bradley" said Friska, the only singles in their lodge.

"But all that stuff from Bradley, including the presents you gave me."

"Where does the problem go?" ask Nungky, a slightly neutral lodge friend.

"The thing is you guys have been used by Bradley to get me. You're just thinking about your own pleasure. You never think how I feel. How important is self-esteem to a man like my girlfriend."

Nungky mangosteen with cynicism. "Oh, is that it? Very high self-esteem play boy, losing the power pole!"

"The question is, are you not the same Bradley?" ask Rindy.

"Geez! I mean, I mean not connecting!"

"Simple, if you don't like it, you can object to celebrating a birthday with us."

"The date has happened, I object to what?"

"Next year is still there" said Rindy casually. "Is there a plan to break up?"

Nadine's upset. "Next year I'm moving out of this hut!"

"Urusan means finished. What else?"

"Your assholes!"

"That jerk is your boyfriend!" flip Friska. "Birthday problems alone are exaggerated!"

"Don't blame my girlfriend! Your brains are short-sighted! Selfish!"

They've been trapped by Bradley's deceit. In their heads there is only dinner and clubbing for free. They don't care if it hurts his heart! Injured his girlfriend!

Nadine was so afraid of losing her love. So afraid of abandonment. But just waiting is impossible. Gerdy will never come again. He has to take his love!
