PAST LOVE : My Love Back to Him

This afternoon, Nikita wants to go straight home, because she plans to go to a bookstore to buy the newest novel.

"Han, hana." Called Nikita to Hana while whispering afraid that the other teacher's voice would sound.

Nikita approached Hana and asked her out of the teacher's room.

"What is wrong, Nikita." asked Hana, still not fully understanding why Nikita asked her out.

Hana paused in thought for a moment.

"Looks like I can't go with Nik, I want to be invited home with Rendy." answered Hana with a broken smile when she said the name Rendy.

Nikita smiled broadly.

"Are you dating Rendy, Han." asked Nikita as she pinched Hana's stomach.

"Ouch...sick Nikita." said Hana away from Nikita's next pinch.

"Never mind I'll tell you, now hurry up and you go, soon the shop is closed." said Hana pushing Nikita's body.

"Okay ... okay ... no need to push me Hana, you're afraid you won't be dating right?" said Nikita with a crisp laugh.

Hana just smiled with a flushed face.

"Okay Hana ... bye ... bye." said Nikita as she ran away for fear of being pushed by Hana again.

Arriving at the bookstore, Nikita headed straight for Ira's table in the corner of the room.

Ira's bookstore can be said to be large, where there is a place to read, it also sells her books, including complete.

Since Nikita stayed at Hana's house, Nikita has subscribed to Ira's bookstore, especially since Ira was also Hana's high school friend, so it makes Nikita more comfortable when meeting her.

"Ira ... good afternoon." said Nikita when she arrived at Ira's table.

"Good afternoon too, Nikita." Said Ira stood up hugging Nikita happily.

"How? Are you ready to read the newest novel? don't say that later you wake up late again." said Ira teasing Nikita.

Nikita laughed shyly.

"Hopefully this time you won't be late again Ira." said Nikita still with shame.

Indeed, sometimes Nikita was too engrossed in reading, sometimes she didn't know it was night. Even until morning I will still read if the novel is good.

"Where is Ira's latest novel?" Nikita asked Ira as she looked around the changed room.

Nikita searched the shelf for the old novel, Nikita just realized that the place for the novel shelf had changed places.

"New novel, in the fourth aisle Nikita! near the reading place." said Ira, pointing her finger pointing at hall four.

"Okay Ira, I'll go there first okay." Nikita says to Ira.

Nikita stepped into hallway four. The atmosphere today is not that crowded, so Nikita can relax while looking at the other books.

Arriving at the second aisle, Nikita stopped spontaneously when she saw a man in a wheelchair. You can see the man trying to reach the book on a slightly high shelf. His hand tried to reach but still couldn't. Nikita slowly approached the man, without realizing she reached for a rather thick book with a green cover that the man was going to take.

Nikita was sure that the book she took was the one that the man wanted, because she saw that the man's eyes were focused on the book.

"What ... this book, that you want to take?" Nikita asked as she thrust the book into the man's hand.

"Yes, right." the man replied briefly without looking at Nikita.

The man focused on looking at the book he received, then immediately left by turning his wheelchair.

"Asshhh !! ungrateful people..." Nikita said silently watching the man leave without saying thank you.

"Hey, wait!" yelled Nikita but quietly.

"Is there no thanks for my help." said Nikita, sounding clear in the man's ear, although not too loudly.

Spontaneously the man stopped and turned his wheelchair and faced Nikita from a few meters away.

"Thank you." the man said briefly, then turned his wheelchair without turning his head towards Nikita.

"Oh my God ... it turns out that there are still people like that in an era like this?" Nikita said silently, shaking her head.

For some reason, seeing the man's attitude, Nikita's heart remembered the attitude of a Bara that she had heard from Elina and Hana.

"Does Bagas have that attitude too?" Nikita asked herself.

"Even if you see that man's face was very handsome, you can see that his skin is pure white, his fingers are long, pale, and his lips are very red. Ssshhhh !! what I think!" said Nikita, patting her forehead softly.

"Why did I think of Bagas, what a fool !!! I almost forgot my novel." said Nikita hurriedly continuing her steps towards the fourth hallway after awakening from her reverie.

After a few hours Nikita looked for and just read some novels. Nikita has got the four novels she wants. According to Nikita, the novel she chose was very good because it had an interesting storyline.

Because it was already late in the evening, Nikita quickly brought her novel to Ira's desk and immediately paid for it.

For almost a week now, Nikita rarely received calls from Raka. Raka was busy working in the villages affected by the earthquake where the signal for communication was lost.

However, at every opportunity when Raka calls, time feels so fast. As if time is still not enough to satisfy a pent up longing.

Like this afternoon, because there is a third grader at school. Nikita can relax at home. Eliminate feeling tired while lying down.

With her eyes closed half asleep holding back sleepiness, suddenly her cell phone rang. When she saw her cellphone screen, she could see Raka's name there.

Immediately Nikita received the call with feelings of longing. There was Raka's soft voice on the other side.

"What are you doing now, Nik? Have you had lunch." asked Raka attentively.

"Was lying down Ka, my body is a bit tired today. Earlier in the cafeteria had eaten, before coming home from work. You also ate, right?" Nikita asked back with a longing hold back.

"I've also eaten Nik." said Raka calling her name in a soft, longing voice.

"I miss you so much, this week I was busy so I couldn't reach you. I'm sorry Nik." said Raka in a pitiful voice.
