Kaivan leaned in front of Ayana's room door. His heart seemed to be left in there. Closed eyes hold a tightness in the chest. The breath slowly tried to cast away the shadow of the girl's face.
It felt like he went back into the room and grabbed Ayana's body into his arms. And he won't let go again. But that's impossible for him to do. The promise that has been said cannot be broken.
Slowly he went to his room. Sounding from downstairs, her parents just got home from their business trip out of town after the engagement. Kaivan was stunned, finally he decided to walk down the stairs. Everything has to be resolved now.
"Ma.... Pa...." he said while taking turns kissing his mom and dad's hands.
"You're okay at home?" Where's Ayana?" ask Aunt Hana to Kaivan.
"He's in his room." replied Kaivan.
"Ma.... Pa..... I want to say something" Kaivan said again.
Aunt Hana looked at Gibran, feeling that something bad was going on. The two sat side by side on the sofa in the living room opposite their son.
Kaivan started telling stories from the beginning before the accident happened to Jessica. Until the last time he explained that he had also spoken to Ayana about the cancellation of the engagement.
The look on Aunt Hana's face turned increasingly to disappointment. Similarly, the expression of om Gibran who listened while shaking his head. Both of them did not think to listen to their son's explanation. But the two let Kaivan tell the story to the end.
"Have you finished your explanation?" aunty Hana asked with a sharp eye towards Kaivan.
"Now it's your turn to speak and you listen....... I salute you for being responsible to Jessica. Even if the accident wasn't entirely your fault."
"Had she been emotional until darkened eyes and was not aware of her own safety.... But in a relationship, there is always a risk. Married people can only divorce koq, let alone just dating," said aunty Hana Sharp.
"This part of the engagement he knew about before.... Shouldn't he also know the consequences..... In the long run mama you have introduced him but why then mama still match you with another girl. He should understand dong if it means mama does not approve of your relationship..... Why stay strong?" sorry aunt Hana again.
"But Kaivan is also wrong here ma..... Don't just corner Jessica.... At the beginning of my mother's intention to match me with Ayana, frankly I was angry and would not accept. So I've already talked to Jessi will try to cancel this engagement at that time...." Kaivan tries to defend Jessica.
"Yes that.... Whatever you.... Mama is tired of fighting with you.... Clearly this engagement should not be cancelled."
"Didn't you just say, this memory loss can be temporary.... So also paralysis that still has to be observed again.... So your status is now engaged to Ayana.... It's just that your marriage will be pushed back until the limit can not be determined... Let time answer everything and God will show you the best choice for you." concluded aunty Hana while waving at Kaivan sign do not want to protest again.
Kaivan let out a long sigh as his parents passed from before him. He had to accept all his mother's decisions. The situation is also very difficult.
Ayana who had eavesdropped on their conversation from the top floor, rushed back into her room so as not to be caught by Aunt Hana who was climbing the stairs. His heart again seemed to be pierced by hearing Kaivan's defense speech against Jessica earlier.
"If your mouth says the word love to me, it turns out that in your heart he is still not completely gone." he lamented inwardly as he threw himself into the bed.
I heard the door of his room open again. Then Hana came in and sat down by her bedside.
"Patience to you, son..... Auntie knows you heard everything....."
"I'm sorry Kaivan hasn't been able to fully realize what's in his heart." said Aunt Hana as she gently stroked his hair.
Ayana got up from her sleep and sat down next to Aunt Hana. He could no longer hide his tears. Aunt Hana hugged him tightly.
"Crying..... Take it all out so that your heart is relieved." said aunt Hana while stroking her back lovingly.
From behind Ayana's bedroom door, Kaivan listens to all of that. Moreover, the sound of Ayana's cry was so heart-wrenching that it made her feel even more guilty.
And he is like a boat drifting in the great sea. Don't know where to dock.
******************************
The next morning Ayana wakes up and feels unwell. Crying all night really drains his energy. His forehead and neck felt warm. Does he have a fever?
The girl got up and put her blanket back on her chest. Soon she fell asleep again.
In his sleep he dreamed that someone was stroking his hair. But over time it felt so real, not a dream and he then opened his eyes.
It turned out that there was indeed Kaivan by her side, looking down at her and stroking her hair gently. He immediately flinched sitting down and retreated avoiding that touch.
"Gapain you're here..... Go...." throw him out while shifting to the other end of his bed.
"You have a fever? Did you take medication? Your body is hot.." as if it did not care to be expelled, Kaivan instead approached him, making him unable to dodge anymore.
"Go away..... Or I'll scream.....Hhhmmpphhh.." His cry was held back because Kaivan had first clenched and kissed his lips.
"What the fuck is this." he said angry in his heart and tried to wriggle away from Kaivan's kiss and forced embrace.
But Kaivan would not let go. His kiss was even deeper demanding and his embrace was getting stronger. Eventually they had to stop because they were both out of breath.
"You're evil.." his sobbing began to sound again.
"Don't cry Aya..... Ii'm sorry..... I'm a jerk.... I was evil.... But I really love you...."
"I couldn't sleep all night, imagine your crying.." said Kaivan lirih while wiping the tears that dripped against Ayana's cheeks.
"You said love to me but you also promised not to leave him.... What the hell do you want? sergeant Ayana doesn't believe it.
"Please understand my position.... Maybe you don't think I ran away so soon after the accident?" Kaivan tries to make Ayana understand him.
"I understand.... Totally understand..... What I don't understand is why you keep kissing and hugging me." cried Ayana again.
"Go away.... Sort her..... Prove your promise of responsibility to her parents.... Don't come near me anymore...." Ayana kept pushing Kaivan's body away from her.
"okay.... Okay.... I'm goin.... But you promised to take medicine... Your body is hot." said Kaivan as he walked back to the door.
"That's my business..... Not your business.... Ganjiiiii.." cried Ayana furiously.
He hates Kaivan. Hate to see that guy's selfishness. Hate to feel his body actually responds well to the kiss and hug earlier.
