Between Love and Friendship

Ken looked at Kinan questioningly. Kinan inched away from Ken and continued to bow his face fearlessly he looked at Ken.

" Can we explain?" Ken demands an explanation.

" I'll explain tomorrow." Kinan said with a trembling voice.

Yoga smiles triumphantly. His face looked satisfied looking at Kinan and Ken alternately.

Ken stared at Yoga sharply. I don't know what's going on between Kinan and Yoga.

" I'll pick you up tomorrow." Ken said with a demanding face to Kinan.

Kinan could not answer Ken. He speaks a thousand languages. An upset Ken just got into the car without saying goodbye to Yoga or Kinan. Ken massaged his temple and at high speed Ken returned to the hospital where Caca was being treated.

Without knocking on the door first. Ken just walked into Caca's room making Caca look at her.

" Lohs. What's up, Ken? Is anyone missing?" Caca asked in surprise because of these nights Ken met him.

With a sharp look. Ken sat down on the side chair of Caca's bed. Caca swallowed his saliva looking at Ken's sharp gaze as usual.

" Let me be afraid." Caca.

" Why do you insist so much that I'm his daughter-in-law?" Ask Ken without talking.

" Ohh.. Sorry Ken's. I was shocked too. But I swear I didn't know about Papa's plans this afternoon." Caca held up his two index and middle fingers.

" When I get home. He must have told me the reason, right?" Urge Ken.

" yes. He likes you because you're firm." Answer Caca. " He needs someone who can make me stubborn." Caca explained.

Ken's pissed off. " I'm not a charmer!" Refute Ken. " As much as possible. Reassure your bokap not to force me or Kinan. As much as possible you reject your bokap lo plan!" Pinta Ken with a fierce face.

" But Ken.."

" Don't tell me if you accept your bokap lo plan?!" Terka Ken quickly preceded Caca. Caca just bowed. " Aghh!" Ken growled in annoyance. His hopes that Caca would reject his father's plan seemed to be failing.

" Why don't we try first, Ken?" Caca was brave.

" Try what, Ca? Relationship with you? Kinan how? Don't you think about her feelings? Don't you think about my feelings?" Cecar Ken is upset.

Caca seemed excited to hear Ken's sharp and striking speech.

" I've never been interested in trying what my heart refuses to." Strictly Ken then left Caca just like that.

Caca fell silent. It was hard to hear all Ken's words.

Kinan sat pensively in the middle of the mattress while hugging his knees. If only Caca was the one he was fighting. Kinan is still ready. But this is Yoga. Father of Caca. The man who has been very meritorious to save his father's life and save the company of his parents who almost went out of business because of the deceit of his father's business partner. Kinan once promised to do anything to return the favor of Yoga. But it never crossed his head if Yoga billed his promise and asked him to give Ken to Caca.

" Papa's." Kinan's voice rattled as he answered the phone from his father.

" What's up, honey? Tomorrow afternoon Papa will arrive. You know your boyfriend, right?"

Kinan held back his sobs. " Om Yoga wants Ken to be Caca's husband." Said Kinan with a tightness in his chest.

" What?"

" Kinan should what? Kinan promised me anything. But why would Om Yoga ask a man who Kinan loves?!" Kinan said his tears were breaking. Kinan.

Kinan's father sounded out a sigh. " Tomorrow you'll talk to Om Yoga."

Kinan sobbed inside.

Zara could not sleep all night. Sleep agitated. Though only seeing Ken's name on Alfi's phone that night. It can break his heart.

" You're meeting, Ken?" Zara asked as she tidied up the collar of Alfi's shirt.

" yes. Are you sure you don't want to come?" Tanya Alfie made sure.

" I'll ask Ken to drop by." Alfi said and kissed Zara's forehead gently and immediately grabbed her briefcase.

Zara was silent at the words of Alfie. Wanna refuse. But somehow his heart hoped that Ken would come.

Ken walked down the lobby where he used to work. Now he comes as a business partner. Kinan simply followed Ken without daring to say anything to Ken.

" You're gonna pick me up?" Kinan asked hoping to break the silence that had been going on between them since.

Ken did not answer. He looked at the clock on his wrist and only stared at Kinan at a glance. " We're five minutes late." Ken said in a cold tone not to touch Kinan's words.

Ken followed Alfi's secretary who had just entered Alfi's room. " You're late." Alfi said with her tone.

" I'm sorry." Ken shook Alfi's hand alternately with Kinan and sat down on the sofa that was in Alfi's room.

Alfi smiled seeing his best friend now leading another company. " Wherever you roost. That's where the success of a company will begin." praise Alfi.

Ken just smiled in response to Alfi's praise and gave the file to Alfi to sign.

Alfie immediately put a signature on it.

" Read it first!" Omel Ken's.

" I believe in you." Say Alfi and give back the file to Ken.

Ken just took a breath. Alfis old habits have not changed. It is easy to trust others.

" Calm. Same with the others. I must have read it, Ken." Alfie understood with Alfi's gaze.

" Zara how are you?" Ask Kinan.

" good. Stop by Ken sometimes." Alfie.

Ken smiled in response.

" You guys fighting?" Alfi looked suspiciously at the lovers who were seen keeping their distance from each other.

" Suffer."

" Yes"

Say Ken and Kinan together.

Alfie laughed a little. " What's going to happen?" Goda Alfie.

" Where can things get angry." Ken quips.

" sthat mean?"

" I've been given to Caca. So starting today I'm Caca's future husband." Said Ken while glancing at Kinan sharply.

" What?!" Kinan and Alfie.

" I never gave you to anyone Ken?" Kill Kinan fast.

" What was your attitude last night? You have no intention of fighting for our relationship. This morning, you left early on purpose, right?" Ken was angry.

" You don't understand the problem, Ken."

" Whatever the problem is between you and the Caca family. Don't involve me!" Jerk Ken annoyed.

" just a second. What's the problem anyway?" Alfi did not understand because just this time Ken was arguing with the woman in front of him.

" Zara's at home?" Ask Ken to Alfie.

" Yes." Yeah."

" I'm going to your house." Said Ken and immediately left Kinan and Alfi who were immediately silent to Ken's words.
