Marriage Should Not be Love

About Nova 1

While stepping, Lala continued to daydream about what Nova said to make Erik provoked emotions.Since the beginning, Erik was the one who tried to provoke Nova, but instead he himself was finally provoked by emotions.Lala continued to guess, there was actually a matter between the three of them.

Nova's hand was still holding Lala's hand until unknowingly, Lala had entered the seafood restaurant that was still in the mall.

"We eat here?" lala asked after she woke up from her daydream.

"Didn't you like seafood?"

Lala simply nodded with a smile, she could not refuse the seafood.

They sat at a table that had been prepared by the waiter of the restaurant while waiting for their ordered food.

"You owe me an explanation" Lala began the conversation.

"What else is it?"

"That was ... Those two people, Erik and Manda? Who're they?!"

"Oh .. that ..., I told you they're my high school friends," replied Nova flatly.

"Continue?" ask for further explanation.

Nova took a deep breath.He seemed hesitant to want to explain to Lala the truth.

"Let's just say, Manda used to be my lover, and Erik was my best friend.Have you guessed the problem now?"

"Why does it look like Erik has a personal grudge against you?"

"I don't know, you can ask him if you meet again" replied Nova.

Lala was not at all satisfied with Nova's answer, but it was useless if she kept asking, Nova would definitely not answer it clearly.

"Eat it, don't talk about it anymore." Nova pointed to the food that had now been served in front of them.

Lala immediately ate the food in front of her voraciously, while Nova only ate a few mouthfuls.Lala noticed that.

"Eat a lot of Nova, don't make me spend all this food on my own."

"I'm full" Nova replied as she watched Lala eat.

"How can you have an eating disorder?"

"Why don't you just call me "honey" like that?" Nova asked back.His ignorant smile had begun to be seen.

"Hey .. don't need spiciness! I'm just doing a show to help you!" lala's reply grumbled.

"But I don't mind you calling me that way on.I'm just happy."

"Don't start again Nova! You haven't answered my question!"

"I don't know, I just lost my appetite."

Just like before, Nova's answer was very unsatisfactory.Actually a lot of questions in Lala's mind, but she did not dare to ask him directly to Nova.She was sure there were many things that Nova had not told him, he was sure, and Lala can't wait to find out.

Asking about Nova's life to him directly will not pay off.I better ask someone else.

Today Lala has made an agreement with Vania that she will go with Vania has finished shooting and she is willing to accompany Lala shopping, or vice versa.

As of now, they eat at a restaurant after being satisfied shopping at a boutique subscription Vania.Gadis was already carrying some paper bag full of groceries, while Lala only bought a shoe, sneakers of course.

"You've known Nova for a long time?"

Vania nodded. "Our parents were friends from childhood, to send us to the same school, take us to the same event and so on."

"So you guys are so close?"

"Maybe" replied Vania hanging.

"So you know how his parents died?" ask Lala carefully.

"You think?"

"Certainly not ... Yeah, he changed a lot after that." Vania stopped eating, then took a deep breath.

"Nova used to be a lot of fun.Ceria, easy to get along with, easy to get along with,

warm, a little naughty but not a delinquent, sometimes ignorant to the teachers.All the fun is in him." Vania spoke while imagining how Nova used to be.

"The accident changed him ... " Lala tried to understand.

"Yes .. The accident took the lives of both parents together.The three of them ended up attending an event.Then the accident happened."

"You mean Nova's in that car, too?"

Vania nodded. "The three of them in the car, only Nova survived."

"How did they get into an accident? I mean ... did they hit something or another vehicle?"

"Only Nova knows what happened, but he doesn't want to talk.The accident changed everything ..her nature, her perspective, and her life.She was devastated."

"So no one knows the cause of the accident?"

Vania shook her head, "No one.Police got into trouble because Nova, she was the only eyewitness but did not want to talk.News of the accident went viral and filled the local mass media page at that time."

"So he left this town?"

"She wants to forget everything.Almost everyone knows her here.And it makes it difficult for her to move on with her life."

"After the incident he locked himself in the room, did not want to talk, and did not want to eat. Until his friends started leaving him one by one."

"Erik included?"

"You know Erik?" ask Vania not to believe it.

"Yes ... some time ago I and Nova accidentally met Erik and Manda while walking in the mall.Who are they? Nova just said that Erik used to be his friend and Manda was his lover, and now they're both married.Is that right?"

"That's right."

"But it seems Erik hates Nova a lot."

"Manda was Nova's lover, when the accident happened.While Erik was Nova's friend, you could say best friend.As I said earlier, Nova became quiet and rarely came out.Perhaps that's why Manda cheated with Erik."

Lala continued to listen, her mouth gaping in disbelief. "Well, isn't he the one who took Manda, but why does he hate Nova?"

Vania shrugged her shoulders. "Eitherway. Some say that Erik didn't accept it because Nova took it ..." Vania did not continue her sentence.

"Take what?"

"Let's just say Manda is no longer a virgin when she's with Erik."

"Oh ... "

"Everything you see from Nova now is the result of the accident.He became quiet and had an eating disorder.He was exposed to severe stomach acid disease.You are the reason why he wanted to seek regular treatment."

"really?"

Vania nodded. "She's like finding her life again in your city."

"Is he really telling you about me?"

Vania nodded. "I saw the spirit when he started the story about you.How do you ignore it, how did you several times reject his love."

"How do you stay close to him when the others leave? Do you like Nova?" lala asked quietly, "no offense."

Vania chuckles at Lala's question. "Since childhood I have known him, I have considered Nova like a brother, brother, friend, enemy whatever it is called.What is clear I care about him.I am grateful he still makes me his moody place," explained Vania. "Are you jealous?" the next Goda Vania.

Lala smiled. "No, I'm just making sure I can see the way you look at her, you're not trying to tease her."
