CEO Seed
Chapter 10

Wherever the foot goes, however far it is, for whatever time, as hard as trying to avoid it, it will definitely be reunited with people in the past.

Likewise with Kania who is currently fixated on dealing with Dita, his best friend. Dita looked at Kania sharply. The mixed feeling in his heart he wanted to express.

Anger, disappointment, longing. All become one.

Dita's sudden arrival at Kania's cake shop was shocking. Kania no longer had to wonder where Dita knew she was here. Of course Dita knows everything from Rama.

"Bad you, Ka." Just two words cannot yet represent all the flavors one feels.

"You don't think I'm your friend anymore? Huh yeah?" Dita inhales neutralizing her hunting breath. "You're going through this all by yourself. What do you think? I'll stay away from you if I know everything? You think our friendship is about you making a mistake, I'm avoiding you, right?"

Both Kania and Dita were unable to hold back tears. It felt like Kania no longer had the face to meet Dita.

Kania feels herself dirty, despicable. It's not worth having a best friend like Dita. But who would have thought that Dita was so angry when Kania left without news. Without Dita knowing what causes Kania to go.

"You hug," said Kania as she spread out her hands.

Without waiting for long, Dita immediately greeted him. The two hugged each other to channel the longing they felt for almost five years.

"I'm confused about you, Ka. To the point that I thought, I made a mistake about you until you left. Your things I brought home to my house. Wish you could find him and we could meet."

"I'm sorry, Dita. I don't know what else to do at that time. Until Rama came to give me a choice that I felt was the right choice."

Dita let go of her embrace. Holding both of Kania's shoulders and staring at Kania fixedly. "You can tell me the same story, Ka. We're best friends. Or do you no longer think of me as your best friend so you prefer to leave?"

Strictly Kania shook her head. Until whenever Dita is his best friend. Since High School they have been friends. Even the same college.

Renting money for both. Sharing with each other is difficult. Even when Dita ran out of pocket money, Kania became her life-saver. All their meal fees are on Kania's responsibility until Dita's monthly allowance is transferred.

"Until every time you're my best friend, Dit. I'm just ashamed of you. Without me telling you, surely you already know everything, right, from Rama?"

Dita nodded in confirming. Rama told Dita everything. Despite having to urge Rama, whining, even Dita almost kowtowed at Rama's feet to get information about Kania.

"At least you have a friend to tell you, Ka. You have a place to share so that your heart can be relieved. Why choose to leave?"

"I wasn't prepared with other people's skewed views of me, Dit. Although until now there are only those who look at me one eye because my son does not have a father, at least not as much as if I stay in Surabaya." Kania paused her speech. "This place accepts me for who I am, Dit. Even when my own parents kicked me out, I was well received in this place."

Kania remembers how good the people around her are. The neighbors at Rama's house used to be very nice. Of course they understand the condition of Kania who is pregnant without a husband without Kania tell everything.

But all received Kania well. Somehow they're behind Kania, Kania doesn't know. Yang Kania knew they were always being nice when dealing with Kania.

His son never received any ill treatment either. Neither his neighbor nor his neighbor's children.

Those who look at Kania and Shaka one eye are the parents of Shaka's friends at school. Isn't that common? The moment to take children to school is actually made a moment to talk about others, showing off their possessions.

Unlike the treatment of people around their parents' homes. They gossiped, blatantly saying Kania would bring bad luck if not expelled from there. Even her parents did not care about her. I don't want to see him as a child anymore.

Be ill. Kania is very hurt. But Kania has taken it all.

Their treatment is a punishment for those who have sinned. Punishment for him who had humiliated both his parents and his extended family.

"Yes already. We have met again now. I am so happy to see you again. Where is your son now?"

Kania smiled. "He's in school. One more hour home."

Dita nodded in understanding. Dita remained silent for a while. "Ka," he called Kania.

"Do you know anything about Roni?" tanya Dita who was greeted with a headband by Kania.

"I don't know yet. And I don't want to know either, Dit."

I exhaled slowly. "He's dead."

Kania widened her eyes to hear Dita's words.

"Three months after you left, he died in an accident. At that time he was very drunk. The wound he had was also so severe that his face was difficult to recognize" said Dita without waiting for Kania to ask why Roni died.

Kania was speechless. Didn't expect Roni to leave so soon and with such appalling conditions.

Why so fast? Even Kania has not had time to curse Roni because of his behavior that makes him have to go out at night looking for himself. And Kania was forced to go into the place of the curse and end up with his present life.

"I think it's punishment for him for being so insolent, Ka. Same with her parents, same with you."

"That's it. It's all over. He also does not exist" said Kania with the intention of ending their conversation about Roni. "Eh, yes. Who are you here with?"

"Clearly with Rama. If I was there myself I'd be lost in the street."

"Nothing is missing. No one's dancing either."

"Oh, somebody found out! It's good that there isn't."

They both laughed together. Enjoying a time that had been lost for almost five years.

"Mama doesn't want to know, Rama. You have to be in a match with a woman of choice Papa and Mama."

"No way, Ma. Rama loves another woman."

"Which woman? The one you put up in our old house in the village? A woman who is pregnant without knowing who impregnated her? That kind of woman you want to make a wife?"

"Ma, how many times do I have to say that Kania is a good woman."

"There's no such thing as a good woman if she's pregnant out of wedlock not even knowing who the baby's father is."

Dita who had just come and was still standing near the door of Rama's house that opened, was so shocked to hear the debate between Rama and his mother.

The woman Rama was carrying, I don't know who got her pregnant, and she's called Kania.

Dita closed her slightly open mouth. It feels like a dream to hear the reality that has just been revealed for five years.

Kania's existence and circumstances.

It turns out that all this time Rama knew where Kania was. Even in the past when everyone was confused looking for Kania, actually Rama knew where Kania was.

And again, Rama loves Kania.

One more reality that makes Dita's heart like in the stab of thousands of sharp knives. Sick and broken.

But there is more to it than the heart. Kania, his best friend.
