When I Should Choose
Chapter 16 Trying to Calm Down



Natan finally asks permission to Holy to answer Artyo's question. Holy is just a shy and welcoming smile.


"Actually just yesterday I expressed my feelings of love as Holy and it turns out Holy also felt the same. So today is the second day that Holy and I are dating" Natan said as she looked at Holy with a sweet smile followed by a shy smile from Holy.


"Yet lastly... Congratulations Natan and Holy. I'm in the mood" exclaimed Rere who looked very happy because finally his friend was not just TTMan anymore.


"Oh, congratulations. Holy finally had a girlfriend for the first time," Artyo became less excited after hearing Natan's statement, but he tried to cover up his sadness by mocking Holy.


"Ih Artyo don't open the dong card," Holy hit Artyo's back slowly.


"Haha notpapa, Ly. I still love you," said Natan seduce.


"All ten, a new couple who are being drunk in love" Rere teased.


Artyo just smiled bitterly holding back his feelings that were not willing to see Holy already had a girlfriend.


Heidy's wedding ended successfully. All guests can be well served and can follow each event happily. Except for Artyo who is still surrounded by jealousy. Moreover, throughout the show he only watched Holy and Natan who felt the world belonging to both defeated the two brides.

Artyo buried his body into a soft mattress. She tries to accept Holy's decision to date Natan.


"I shouldn't be jealous, but I can still be friends with Holy. I can still accompany Holy wherever he wants, I can still meet and walk together," said Artyo to calm himself.


Artyo got up from his bed and played with his pet fish.


"Beti you don't think Holy fits Natan?"


"What's? More like me?"


"Ah Beti can be, I'll be ashamed."


That's what Artyo did when he started thinking a lot and had no friends to talk to. He often invites her to chat fish peliharannya, because he does not have a brother or sister to chat with.


Sometimes for school and college matters he took the time to chat with his father, but it was very rare he did because his father was more often judgmental of his decisions than giving advice.


Likewise, when chatting with his mother, he must be careful not to let slip and talk about things that he wants to keep secret. Because surely his mother will disseminate it to his fellow artists or be used as content for status in his FB. It was so embarrassing for Artyo.


Artyo felt better when he talked to his peliharan fish or with Holy. And of course when Holy comes to his house is a very fun time compared to talking to fish. Because that's when he can tell you anything, which then gets responses and suggestions.


Tonight he can only tell the same pet fish while staring at the photos with Holy. Upon seeing the photos again came a feeling of annoyance to himself who never dared to discuss about his feelings for Holy. But he tried to calm his feelings back down. Artyo took one of his books to cover his face. And he fell asleep with the book.

Five months passed by, the relationship between Natan and Holy continued, although not as smooth as the toll road but they still survive. Holy who is the first time dating a lot to learn from Natan who said he had five times dating.


The moment Natan sent the message, Holy would immediately reply to her. Holy always tried to immediately reply to Nathan's message, because once upon a time Holy did not reply to Natan's message for hours as a result Natan became angry and berated Holy with swear words.


Though Holy was very tired, he came home from college and fell asleep in his room until dawn. When he woke up he was very shocked to see his HP being filled with messages from Natan that deeply hurt his heart. Holy also explained and apologized.


The second month, Holy who often walked alone with Natan to just look for fresh air, got a reprimand from his mother's father because so rarely had time for family.


In the third month, Holy college assignments became often crowded as a result he often stayed up late to complete his tasks.


The fourth month, Holy began to reveal everything to Natan. Natan listens to everything Holy says and she tries to understand Holy by not getting angry quickly when the message is long answered, can divide the time of courtship with family time, and the, and will understand the Holy if there are many tasks. Even he said it would help if Holy was troubled by his duty.


The fifth month they both ended up having a pleasant relationship because Natan was more relaxed in responding to Holy. He did not want to force Holy to meet if Holy wanted to have time alone or time with family.

"That's by studying with my beautiful girlfriend," seduced Nathan and picked up the book that Holy had been holding.


"That's a hell of a bitch." Holy tickled Natan and made Natan an overenthus and subconsciously she laughed out loud. Some people in the pavilion were immediately staring cynically at the two of them.


"That's the people on our ngeliatin," said Natan and stopped his laughter.


"Why let you become more famous" said Holy.


"Later if I'm famous, I get busy and you don't have friends to be alone anymore."


"I still have Artyo kok, wekk," said Holy who intended to joke but it turned out that those words made Natan suddenly speechless. "Why are you suddenly silent?" ask the confused Holy.


"No, I don't like it when you call it that name."


"Can't you? He is my best friend. I can't do that, dong."
