The Sacrifice of Love 2

Chapter 64

Today is still the same as the days before. Nanda will start his studies first before then he continues his duties as an assistant lecturer. After finishing his college eyes, Nanda immediately rushed into the Dafa room.

"Hi Kak" said Nanda.

Dafa looked at Nanda from head to toe. This time Nanda was back with her appearance. Only wear blue jeans and a white shirt and hair tied back.

Then Dafa got up from the chair he was sitting on and untied Nanda's hair which made her hair unravel.

"Don't show off your neck" said Dafa, who was in fact misfocused on Nanda's neckline.

Nanda simply gawked and understood the meaning of Dafa's words.

"Why is my neck the same?" nanda timpal.

"You look like a giraffe" taunted Dafa.

"Not all of you are like lions" shouted Nanda who was upset.

Dafa ignored Nanda's words. He just came out of the room. While Nanda also followed Dafa who walked towards the S1 building.

During the teaching activity, Dafa occasionally stole a glance at Nanda standing in the back corner of the classroom while taking notes on the materials described by Dafa. After the class ended, Nanda met Zahra in the campus corridor.

"Nanda" said Zahra.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Can I ask you a favor?" ask Zahra.

"Why not go to Nendra?" nanda Ledek.

"Ihhh don't bother dong" said Zahra timidly.

"Yes, yeah, what?" nanda sela.

"I have an assignment to sketch a party dress for the final assignment and internship preparation. Since you're quite stylish in fashion, I'm asking for advice you can?" Zahra.

"Bby dong. Where do you want to do your job?" ask Nanda.

"In my house, yes" replied Zahra.

"You want to go with me?" nanda bargain.

"Zahra, let's go home" asked Dafa who interrupted the conversation of the two young girls.

"No Brother. I want to be with Nanda" Zahra refused.

"Memang kalian mau ke mana?" tanya Dafa.

"I want to take Nanda home to help me with my duties" Zahra said.

"OK" insisted Dafa and then left.

"That's really your sister" complained Nanda.

"That's also your future husband" Zahra teased vigorously.

"No comment" replied Nanda.

Arriving at Herdian's house, Zahra immediately invited Nanda to go up to the second floor. Nanda's attention was immediately diverted to the door of the room made of wood and large enough. This was a room that Nanda had never known about during her visit to this house.

"Well, what is that room?" tanya Nanda pointed towards the room.

"Oh that. Kak Dafa's private library. Why?" reply Zahra.

"A lot of privacy?" said Nanda.

"Actually no, anyway. Just because my sister likes to be alone in the library so the impression is private. But I often go into that room" Zahra explained.

"Ooh.." Nanda only responded to Zahra's words which explained quite a bit about the details of the secret room.

"You wanna go in there?" zahra.

"Maybe?" ask Nanda reassuringly.

"Yes can dong. What the hell is not for the prospective sister-in-law" said Zahra clutching Nanda's chin with flirtatious.

"Oh, what the hell are you" elak Nanda

put away Zahra's hand with a timid face.

"You come in first, I'll follow. I'm going to go to my room to take my duties first" Zahra said.

Zahra leaves Nanda. Nanda walked to Dafa's private library. The door first. Who knows if Dafa is in there. Unanswered, Nanda opened the door slowly.

Nanda began to walk in, leaving every corner of the library dominated by the distinctive brown color of wood. With many bookshelves with a large collection of books arranged so neatly. Nanda briefly looked at Dafa's collection of books by holding a shelf each time he passed.

And Nanda's steps came to a halt on the bookshelf standing right behind the Dafa desk. Nanda's attention was drawn to a pastel-grey book with a cover bearing a diary. And visible from the outside there is a leaf of mapple tucked behind the book sheet.

Nanda was about to put the book back. Because the book contains the privacy of Dafa's life. But, I don't know what makes Nanda want to know the contents of the book. Taking the book off the shelf, Nanda positioned herself against the bookshelf to read the book.

Nanda opened the book and looked at the first page attached to a photo of the Dafa family while his parents were still there. Then at the beginning of the page contents of his diary about the harmony of his family, and Nanda realized that Dafa is actually a jolly figure. That all changed when her parents died.

On the next sheet, right where the mapple leaves were tucked away, Nanda saw Dafa writing a romantic poem. Then Nanda saw a photo of Bara and Dafa sitting flanking Apsara where the three of them wearing SMA uniforms took pictures with flat expressions. Nanda finally read the poem.

I don't know where to start this story

The silent fog slowly began to creep in the heart

I love you in silence

Resisting an ever more muffled longing

I want to feel like I met you

But, greeting you I can't

Then, what's my day?

Even the wind is silent

When I complain about anything that has to do with you

Maybe God knows enough

About what and how I feel

Because of my happiness, I can still slip your name into my every prayer

Nanda's body immediately staggered backwards. His legs felt weak could no longer support his body. Instantly, Nanda's tears just poured down her face. She did not expect that the man she had always liked, even be betrothed to her would love her older brother. Even very loving to this day until this diary is kept so well by the man.

Nanda's heart was instantly shattered. Soul crumbs. Can't accept reality like this. And what Apsara meant was helping Nanda to get close to Dafa. Then, how could Herdian match Dafa with Nanda. Dafa clearly loves Apsara. What Nanda is just an impingement.

Nanda placed the book with the origin onto the bookshelf. Then Nanda walked a bit quickly away from the library. When Nanda was about to open the door, suddenly the door of the room opened first. And it turned out that Dafa opened the door. Dafa immediately looked confused when he saw Nanda crying. Nanda quickly wiped away her tears.

"Why you?" ask Dafa.

Nanda did not respond to Dafa. He just left. Zahra who was walking towards the library saw Nanda running out. He greets Nanda, but Nanda does not answer his call. He just ran faster. Curious, Zahra went straight into the library.

"What's this guy here? Nanda why cry? Don't-don't you get mad at Nanda because she came in here huh?" accuse Zahra.

Dafa when he went inside immediately walked towards his desk. Where the dairy book has been scattered. And now Dafa knew why Nanda was crying. Dafa's argument grew stronger when the mapple leaves were not on the page which should mean Nanda had read the contents of her diary tucked in a maple leaf.

"I'm not answering my question!" zahra's yelling started to get emotional.

Nanda throws his car in front of the house. He ran into the house. And Nanda's arrival was immediately greeted by a look of astonishment from his family members.

"Mas, that's Nanda why run away like that? His eyes are swollen too. Is he crying?" isyan said while touching Arya's shoulder.

"Not that he's going to Zahra's house, why go back and forth crying?" nendra Sela.

Apsara who, although only installing flat exhaustion, but his conscience immediately told him to stand up and followed Nanda to his room. At that time the whole family let Apsara overcome Nanda. Arriving at Nanda's room, Apsara walked over to Nanda who was sitting crying hugging her beloved doll.

"What's your mom?" asked Apsara in a flat voice.

Nanda gave no answer. Perhaps Apsara's tone sounded less sincere. Apsara placed her hand over Nanda's head and gently stroked it.

"Nanda, why are you crying? Who hurt you?" ask Apsara again.

Suddenly Nanda brusquely removed Apsara's hand and stood up and shouted, "You. Yes you hurt me," cried Nanda as she pointed at Apsara's face.

Apsara felt surprised and astonished by Nanda's rude response. He had never spoken a high note to Apsara at all. This is the first time Nanda has done that.

"Sister will deliberately tell me to approach Kak Dafa and agree to our arranged marriage and want to make Kak Dafa forget about brother because brother is getting married soon?" nanda Bengpak.

It was as if a stone had struck Apsara's chest, the pain she was feeling right now. Apsara did not expect that Nanda would finally know everything.

"Mom, you can explain everything. What you think about big brother is all untrue" Apsara persuaded in a calm voice.

"I'm wrong? Hahaha rightly said Kak Dafa if I was just a spoiled, chatty, and annoying child. Unlike the big brother who is firm, smart, and independent" said Nanda laughed on the sidelines of his crying.

"Nanda, sister has never made you an outlet for Dafa's feelings. Brother did this because you knew you could tell Dafa the true meaning of love. He never loved his sister. Dafa is just admiring. He doesn't know what love is" Apsara said.

"I don't want to hear my sister's words anymore. Now get out of my room" shouted Nanda driving Apsara away.

Apsara actually wanted to persuade Nanda again and dispel this misunderstanding. But he also did not want to have a big fight with his sister. Finally Apsara decided to leave Nanda's room.
