Mother kos suspected. Since returning home weekend, Nadine often found daydreaming. Rarely go out with them. In recent days the boarding house came home early because there was a dispute among the lodgers who needed to intervene.
"What's the problem?" search mom kos. "Mom's noticed lately you've been looking very confused."
"How not to be confused..," replied Nadine. "They say hello just right there's Mom, behind the weekend problem to Anyer is not finished."
Nadine had a rough day. The problem not only came from his stomach, they considered in the case of Anyer as if he was the guilty one. He had a hard time defending because they conspired so he became a defendant in front of the boarding house.
"Fixing the broken thread does not immediately go wrong like a tailor," said the mother kos patient. "You need to be heartened. Then we gather inside, not separate ourselves like this."
"They wanted me to break up with Gerdy and accept Bradley, because it gave them a lot of profit. I don't like it."
"Don't justice so dong," reprimanded ibus kos soft. "Your heart is closed to peace. I see Bradley better than Gerdy. It's not childish."
The boarding mother began to lose sympathy for Gerdy since the events of that birthday. Her anger is hard to accept, unless Nadine celebrates her birthday with Bradley.
The thing Nadine refused to celebrate with him was a problem last year that need not be fussed about now. It's stale. After all, Nadine simply appreciated the surprise of her friends.
"You explained that tonight there was nothing to be envied" said the boarding house after the birthday celebration. "Bradley peeping your hand is common as a form of respect. Gerdy's a noble boy, time doesn't know that custom?"
"The problem last year I was angry given a surprise like this. Now I'm celebrating with Bradley."
"Say, your friends are surprised."
"He knows who's surprised, ma'am. And that greatly offended his pride."
"What self-worth? Bradley, what have you done to bring your self-esteem?"
"Mom doesn't know my boyfriend yet."
"I don't need to know Gerdy or Bradley as a whole" stressed the boarding house. "Look, if your boyfriend no longer believes in you when everything has been explained, then there is a problem with your love. Or he's deliberately looking for trouble to get away from you."
This suspicion is what makes Nadine desperate to follow to the apartment. He should not be thrown away for fabricated reasons. He wanted to teach Gerdy a lesson. Then there was a disastrous event.
Nadine felt the rift among the lodgers was difficult to repair. One unacceptable thing, they blasphemed Gerdy and praised Bradley in front of the boarding house. He began to feel uncomfortable living in the cottage.
That morning Nadine sat alone on the porch. His friends have been going to college since. Mother boarding goes to work. At home there is only Mpok Siti, the only maid. The house feels quiet.
Today Nadine has nothing to do. Work in the afternoon. Go to campus lazy. The spirit of learning to fall apart with the presence of a baby in his stomach. He did not have time to think about studies, even intending to take a leave of absence.
Modeling is difficult to concentrate. The photographer gets angry because the simple pose has to be repeated. So sales are stupid with targets. There is much more important than all that, the development of the fetus in her womb.
Nadine was gripped with a sense of confusion without knowing the way out. Thought's dead-end. All the doors seemed to throw him into the dark hallway.
In this situation, Nadine needs a sharing friend. But Gerdy couldn't possibly accompany her at all times. The Bandung-Jakarta distance forced them to curb the desire.
After all, Nadine did not want her concentration of learning to be disturbed. He can't have a mind. If it fails, it means having to repeat the next year, while their time is so narrow.
The one who often accompanied him was Bradley. Not bored the young man teased him even though rejection has been repeatedly thrown.
Bradley is back today. As in previous days, he did not forget to bring fruits, but Nadine never ate them. So the big windfall of his friends.
Bradley knew Nadine had a boyfriend. He knows he loves his girlfriend. But he never knew his efforts were in vain. Never been conscious.
"Somehow should I kick you out" complained Nadine between annoyance and despair. "I'm out of ways, out of words."
"New words" said Bradley, sitting next to him without waiting, and never welcome. "A single bullet won't be able to kill my love."
It was this passionate spirit that touched Nadine's heart. Bradley was so persistent in fighting for his love. Unyielding. And he can only put his pity on.
While Bradley has sacrificed time, energy, money, but got nothing.
A young man as great as Bradley shouldn't crave himself for love. Many women are chasing him.
"Beautiful lodge girl, none of that time attracts your heart?" Nadine's voice turned soft. Suddenly he felt that the young man could not be rudely expelled, should be given understanding. "I can't, Brad. Not that you're unattractive, you're late to my life."
Instinct's right. For the first time that excited gaze turned cloudy. The light on his face faded. The young man was long pensive before he heard his floating voice.
"Maybe I have an abnormality." Bradley let out a smooth breath. His eyes stared blankly ahead. "I'm a CEO, not worth begging for love. But every time I try to run from you, every time I feel like I've lied to myself."
"You're normal, Brad," comforted Nadine gently. It turns out he had mistakenly guessed. The young man was not unwilling to stop his silly hunt, but was unable to escape from the shackles of his love. "Try harder. You're not hard to find a woman who surpasses me."
Bradley looked blankly. "Who is more than you? My heart holds with you, just like you with Gerdy. Many women come to me, but my love for you is irreplaceable."
"You can't let your dreams ruin your days."
"I can't."
"It can be" said Nadine sure. "Any woman will not be able to resist your love."
"You are rejecting my love."
"I already have Gerdy," replied Nadine half-complaining. Already pregnant, continued his bitter heart. "Love needs loyalty."
"Love needs a fight, too. And that's what I'm working on."
"Don't be stupid."
"I don't want to be called smart."
"I can't possibly part with Gerdy. Please appreciate our love."
"That means I have to live alone."
An idea flashed through Nadine's mind. What if he helps you find? Who knows his mind path is open, because the one who chooses is the girl he loves.
"I have a family" said Nadine carefully. "Model photos too. Same age as me."
Bradley looked enthusiastically. "Family? Pretty?"
"From campus."
"But you don't have a boyfriend?"
"Is that a must?"
"Where are you waiting?"
"Women don't like to be compared the least."
Bradley's spirit is back. "How should I try. Where is college? Not kos? Let me do my own business."
Bradley never showed up again. Perhaps it has found the port of the heart, whether its family or not. He's not dizzy.
But let the man no longer bother him, his heart was not yet serene. There was another person who disturbed his life. Tiny creature in the womb!
