Between Love and Friendship

Ken sat on the long sofa. Pras on the small sofa on the left and Yoga sat on a smaller sofa than Ken on the right sofa. Ken looked calm. He was ready to face whatever these two middle-aged men were about to throw at him.

" How's your relationship with Kinan, Ken?" Ask Pras first.

Ken threw a smile. " Good, Om."

" Have you seen Caca today?" Yoga snatching.

" Sorry. I can't afford it." Answer Ken.

Prejudice lifts a triumphant smile on Yoga. An empty one, he probably thinks.

" Are you serious about Kinan, Ken?"

" yes. Soon I'll apply for Kinan if Om allows." Answer Ken.

" Can't. You're Caca's future husband!" Yoga does not accept Ken's words.

" I'm sorry before. Kinan and I knew each other first. Me and Kinan are in a relationship. Caca knows that, too. So I don't think I need to ask for the blessing of Om Yoga." Ken Say.

" Armghh!" Yoga looks furious and breaks the table. " I asked for all the money I ever gave to you. Returned!" Yoga is upset. Pras will not be able to replace the money. He knows very well if the condition of Pras company has just improved.

" I'll definitely give it back." Pras replied trying not to get emotional.

" I'm asking right now!" Yoga with reddened eyes. " And you. Get out of my subsidiary company!" Show it to Ken.

Ken raised a smile.

" Are you gil*? Where do I get that kind of money now?!" Pras started to panic.

" How much does Kinan's father owe?" Ask Ken with a calm face.

" Are you sure you can pay?" Yoga smiled disdainfully at Ken.

" As long as my father's Kansai Group is still standing. I can pay for everything. Including buying all shares in the company Om!" Ken Say.

Yoga took a step back hearing Kansai Group said. A large company that a few months ago made many companies scramble to establish cooperation with the company.

" You're Kenzu Akihiro's son?" Tanya Yoga does not believe.

Ken nodded. " I will contact my father to transfer money on Om's account. And oh yeah. I work at a Caca company just intending to help resurrect Caca's business again. Not expecting a salary." Ken said very calmly.

" Come Om. It's best to start today Om and Kinan live in my apartment." Ken.

********

" Are you sure you're taking me to your apartment?" Ask Kinan on the road.

" It's not the apartment I'm in. But the apartment I want to rent. Fortunately, no one is interested, Om. Maybe too small a time yes" Ken said.

" Let it be small but comfortable. Make Om not about."

" If you can know, om business is engaged in what field?"

" Tourism. The office is in Canada. Working with friends." Pras replied with a smile looking at Ken. " Joga wants you to be his son-in-law. Your attitude is almost the same as his when he was young." Gurau Pras's.

" Caca how Ken's fate is. Kasian he if his company no one takes care of." Kinan looked riled up thinking about Caca.

" We'll help her from far away."

Kinan just complied.

********

" What you're doing is outrageous!" Caca was angry at his father's attitude

" Papa Lakalin it's all just so you can be with the guy you like." Guilt-filled Yoga on Caca.

Caca's tears just dripped after he had been resistant. " Caca is disappointed with Papa."

" believe. Papa wants the best for you."

" Best for me. Only I know, Pa. All this time I've always followed Papa's will. Until I actually wanted to reject papa's plan to marry me to Ken. But papa always doesn't give me a chance to talk."

Yoga looked at Caca with nanar.

" After Caca came home, Kin had moved out and Papa left again. Who's keeping Caca at home? Papa thinks Caca likes Caca's life? I envy the same friends who can go with their parents. While me. Don't go out to eat together either." Caca took out what he's been craving all along.

" a.."

" This time it's Papa who has to beat up Caca. Caca was happy with Caca's life without Papa's intervention. But in an instant, Papa destroyed everything Caca had." Caca sobbing.

Yoga looked sadly at his shaken daughter. Yoga feels guilty for insisting on matching Ken to Caca.

It's too late now. After Caca told me everything.
