The Way We Met's
1. Escape again

Nina became a coward again. After a long time, he repeated his attitude again in the face of problems. Run. Before, there was Marco who always supported him. Bringing him home and facing problems together. There was always Marco holding his hand. Take him into a house full of problems. Even Nina thought it was not home. Marco is his home.

Marco is Nina's boyfriend. She was the same age as Nina. But Marco can always be more mature than he should be. For Nina, Marco is a solid building for her fragility. Comfort over the anxiety that Nina had borne since childhood. Marco was absolutely everything to Nina.

Now how can Nina live. If the reason for life is gone. Imagining living life alone without Marco makes him not want to live again.

Nina stared blankly at the window of her car. It's raining outside, and Nina doesn't know where she's going. Don't know what he's gonna do. Being in the rain made Nina sick. That was Nina and Marco's favorite. Despite his mature and nurturing nature, Marco can always keep up with the much-wanted Nina. Nina smiled faintly, then cried even harder. Being in this car is also not fun. Nina got this car too thanks to Marco's support. The brand, type, to color of this car is Marco's choice. So that Nina always feels close to Marco.

Sure enough, not a second did Nina not remember Marco. This whole town is his memory with Marco. Get out or stay in the car, will always remember Marco. At home or out, it's all about Marco.

Drr... Drtts...

From there his phone vibrated. He opened the incoming message.

"Ah, just a class group." He said in his heart.

Nina didn't open thousands of unread messages in her class group. Nina doesn't have time for that.

Nina's finger continued to point downward. There's Marco's name there. Under the name of his friends who asked him the news, which he did not open as well.

It was a message that Marco read. How is Marco so happy? Marco never wanted to break up and send messages to each other. How Marco could have done this to Nina.

Nina looked at the clock on her phone. It's almost dark. But nina still didn't know where to take her broken heart.

Nina is back playing her phone. Open the hotel booking application. There was a hotel that caught Nina's attention. Not because of the facilities or good views that Nina prioritized, Nina looked at the location of her city. Very far from the city where Nina was now. Without a second thought, Nina headed for the city. Carry the car quickly so there is no more gap to daydream. His eyes and mind focused on the road. He wanted to get there and be alone in the hotel. Hoping to forget Marco for a moment and their togetherness for five years.

Drrr.. Drrr.. Drrr....

Drrr... Drrr.. Drrrr..

It was from Vania. Nina lifted.

"What van is it?"

"Where is Nina?" Vania asked in a slightly annoyed yet anxious tone.

" I want Van myself."

"Now Van is not. Don't know tomorrow."

"Nin't funny. Kasi know where I follow now. I travel around town. I anter lo shopping. I'm following all your will."

"Gue wants Marco, Van." Nina replied with a trembling voice holding back the cry.

"Nin, here's the story to me. Don't say gini"

"Love me a long time ago Van. I will not kill myself. Marco used to teach me that suicide was a sin."

Vania was silent for a moment. Suddenly silent atmosphere. There was only the sound of rain outside Nina's car.

"Ati-ati ya Nin. I'm sure you're capable. Call me sometime if you need."

"Yes Van. Thanks yeah. I drove first. Assalamualaikum."

"Getishalight."

Nina continued her journey. Vania is his best friend. But still no one understands Nina better than Marco. Nina is an active student in various student organizations. Very active even. Vania was always willing to listen to Nina's curses even when Nina called her in the middle of the night and cried until morning. Vania has not rested at all. Nina is always ready. But it feels too burdensome for Vania if my problems should be poured into Vania. The best choice is Marco. He promised to be a guide when Nina's feet don't know which way to go. Ah, Nina's life is all about Marco.

Nina's been driving 4 hours. Drive to a city he has never been to. A city far enough away to travel without this direction. Nina didn't know a thing about the streets of this town. But at least this city he had never been with Marco.

Nina turned on the maps on her phone. Type the name of the hotel he has ordered through the application. Quite complicated, inner Nina.

Nina passed through a beautiful expanse of nature. Lots of trees, but also lots of tourist cars. Many stalls ala rest area filled with tourists.

This place is for happiness, inner Nina. The family laughed loudly. On the street, there were two lovers joining hands. Every now and then the girl pinched her lover's arm. Two things that Nina really doesn't have. It came with his heartache. Hope to recover little by little. He didn't ask immediately. Because five years is also not a short time to give birth to memories.

Nina reached the hotel she was heading to. White tall building that looks more like a villa. It's a lot around here.

Ah, Nina forgot. It's Sunday night. What to remember it for. His Sunday night now and then was just a full night in case. No more driving around town on Marco's matic bike. Nina's head rested on Marco's shoulder. Until Marco occasionally protested because he had to ride a motorcycle with his head tilted. Hihahi. Nina's embarrassed smile remembered her. And again, Nina wanted to cry but was held back. People won't care what broke my heart right now.

Nina rushed into the lobby. Promise again and again, won't let daydream until Marco remembers again.

Nina checked in, her room is on the fifth floor. The highest floor of the hotel. Asked by the hotel officials, Nina was surprised to see a very beautiful landscape. The room faces directly to the beautiful lake. Center of interest in this city. Flickering night lights from hotels and stalls around the lake Nina can see from the balcony of her room. The cold gusts of the city are a complete package tonight. Makes Nina smile happily to see him. Which then not up to a minute Pull his lips loosened. Eyes glazed. He came here with Marco.
