Nadine and Nathan
#46
Priiit!
The long whistle marking the end of the match had already sounded. Team 3x3 from Putra Garuda club excels over the opposing team.
Nathan and his three friends who are part of the 3x3 team have already entered the dressing room. The atmosphere inside the sports hall slowly also started to quiet down as the spectators had already dispersed themselves.
"We're waiting for Nathan?" Christian asked Nadine.
The two teenagers had already stepped towards the exit of the sports hall with the other players.
"Go to the cafe om Vian only. Later Nathan followed there with papa," replied Nadine whose neutrality is still focused on staring at the phone screen.
Nadine who did not pay attention to her steps, almost hit someone else. But Christian swiftly prevented it, however,
"Weiits! Look ahead, Nad!" Omel Christian holds Nadine's shoulders.
Nadine smiled,
"Yes sorry" said Nadine who immediately stored her phone in a bag.
"Where's Justin, Chris?" Ask Nadine who is now in tears.
As Nadine recalled, they came out together.
"That! I got to the parking lot" Christian pointed to the motor park.
Audrey and Justin were talking there.
"Come on!" Nadine immediately pulled Christian's hand and half ran towards the motorcycle parking lot. Christian according to him.
"Kok y'all left us, anyway?" Nadine grumbled when she arrived near Audy and Justin.
"Who is left? Here we wait," Audy's sergeant who immediately denied.
"There's no show? Come along, yuk!" Take Nadine next to Audy and Justin.
"Where to gather? Cafe bang Rico?" Guess Audy knows.
"No, cafe om me. Later Nathan and papa will also follow there," explained Nadine quickly.
"May, if treated," said Justin as he chuckled.
"It's easy with that. There is Chris. Later he will pay" said Nadine while pointing at Christian.
"Kok being me?" Christian pretends to be confused.
"Suppose a ready-made tax," said Nadine as she passed from in front of her three friends and headed toward Christian's motorcycle.
"Ciyeee! It's real, yeah!" Audy who seemed satisfied.
Christian's white face suddenly red. The young man immediately followed Nadine's steps.
Nadine was already wearing a helmet on her head, when Christian arrived.
Christian helps to put Nadine's helmet strap on.
"We're being?" Ask Christian who is a little confused.
"mmmmmmmmm. It depends" replied Nadine, holding back her laughter.
"Depends what?" Christian asked who was wearing his helmet.
"Depending on whether you want to or not" Nadine said, closing her head to Christian.
It made Christian laugh.
"You're teasing me?" Christian asked as he rubbed Nadine's cheek.
"Slightly," replied Nadine as she pressed her tongue to mock Christian.
Christian was back laughing.
Bim bim!
The horn from Justin's motorbike sounded deafening.
"Buruan, wooy! Don't date here!" Audy sitting in the back seat of Justin's bike.
"Whisper!" Nadine's grumbling is upset.
Christian has started his bike. Nadine immediately climbed on Christian's bike. After everything is ready, Christian immediately put forward his bike following Justin's bike that had first come out of the parking lot.

Nathan has replaced his jersey with a short-sleeved shirt. The young man came out of the dressing room carrying a bag on his back. When passing the court, the atmosphere was already quiet. Only one or two spectators remained in conversation with his partner and several janitors.
"Sister Nathan!" A girl walked over to Nathan.
Nathan stopped his steps and greeted the girl.
"Hello. What's up?" Nathan asked with the face as gracious as possible.
Nathan seemed familiar with the face of the girl in front of him.
"Can I have a signature?" Ask the girl shyly.
Nathan covered the smile on his lips.
"certain. Wanna where?" Nathan asked who was still looking at the face of the glasses girl.
Nathan tried to remember that face. But for some reason, Nathan's brain suddenly becomes dead-end.
The girl took out a small basketball from her bag and a marker. "Here, brother" he said, giving Nathan a marker.
Nathan immediately signs the girl's basketball.
"One more," said the girl as Nathan finished putting his signature on the basketball.
"Sign this book as well, brother!" Said the girl while proffering a book to Nathan.
Nathan looked for a moment at the book that was now in his hand. Apparently it's a novel.
Waitaminute!
Why this novel is called...
'You download the application first, then you look for a novel whose title is Nathan, I Love You'
'Seriously 'like? He used my name in his novel?'
'Yes'
Nathan's conversation with Nadine a few months ago reverberated in Nathan's head.
Why the title of this novel is the same as the title of the novel...
"Annel?" Guess Nathan as he looked at the girl in front of him.
Nathan noticed once again the chubby face of the glasses girl.
"You're Annel, right?" Nathan asked once again who really wanted to be sure.
"Hehe. Nathan knows, huh?" Answer Annel shyly. The two cheeks of the girl had already turned red by now.
"Yes, I remember the same title of your novel" Nathan said, pointing to Annel's novel.
"Is there a printed version?" Ask Nathan again.
"Yes, Brother. It was only a month ago that I went up in print, because I won the competition" explained Annel who was still bowed in shame.
"Where can I buy it?" Nathan asked again.
"That's for Nathan's brother, if Nathan's brother wants. Annel's still there" Annel pulled another novel out of her bag.
"really? This for me?" Nathan asked with a look of disbelief.
Annel nodded immediately.
"But please sign the one that has me, brother!" Pinta Annel offers her a new novel.
"Yes" Nathan replied, opening the first page of the novel. Nathan wrote something on the page before putting his signature.
"It's over!" Nathan said as he returned the novel to Annel.
Annel read Nathan's writings for a moment.
'Thank you, Annelya. An amazing and inspiring novel. Nathan Grahita's'
Annel smiled happily after reading Nathan's message.
"Thank you very much, Brother Nathan," said Annel, still smiling sweetly at Nathan.
"Eh, this one hasn't signed you yet, Ann!" Nathan exclaims while showing the novel that was given by Annel.
"Huh?" Annel looked confusedly at Nathan.
"And you are the author, give me your signature here" Nathan explained.
Annel rounded her lips and immediately put her signature on Nathan's novel.
"Already, Brother!" Annel said while returning the novel he had signed to Nathan.
"Nathan!" Papa Dion's voice that was already near the exit, made Nathan turn his head.
"Yes, Pa! Just stop!" Nathan looked back at Annel.
"Thank you, yeah! Make a novel," Nathan said to Annel.
"Together, Brother! Greetings to Nadine, yes!" Annel replied, who was embarrassed.
Nathan nodded
"Jude, I'm back. Who are you back with?" Nathan asked again who looked worried.
"Bareng mama, it has been parked but," replied Annel again.
Nathan nodded in understanding.
"Bye Annele!" Nathan waved at Annel and immediately turned towards the exit.
But just a few steps Nathan turned around again, and went back to Annel.
"May I borrow your marker?" Nathan asked, which immediately made Annel frown, not understanding.
But the girl immediately thrust her marker at Nathan.
Nathan grabs Annel's hand and writes something on the girl's palm. Apparently it's a mobile number.
"Chat me!" Nathan's message while returning the marker Annel.
Annel smiled in disbelief and repeatedly looked at Nathan's mobile number in his hand.
Nathan himself had passed out of the sports building following the papa who had been waiting for him since.
