CEO Seed
Chapter 4

For almost two hours Kania sat at the door. I hope your mom or dad opens the door for you. Forgive him and listen to all his explanations.

The door was open. There was a glimmer of hope in Kania's heart. Perhaps both of his parents wanted to hear a little explanation from him.

However, it was not the opportunity that Kania had obtained. Except all his belongings that were still in his room were taken out all. One big suitcase was thrown onto the terrace by Karno.

Unconcerned by Kania's apology and cries, Karno closed the door again.

Gathering the remnants of her strength, Kania wiped her tears and fixed her messy hair. Kania moved and took her suitcase.

Kania will leave, according to the wishes of his parents who no longer want to think of him as a child.

"Mr, mother. Kania's gone, yeah. Sorry Kania disappointed my mom and dad. Kania loves both father and mother," said Kania accompanied by her slashing sobs.

There was no answer from inside his house. Kania already knew it wouldn't happen. Let alone talking to Kania, thinking of him as a child is no longer willing.

With her heavy steps, Kania dragged her suitcase and poked her small bag over her shoulder and left the residence that for twenty years had given her fond memories. However, it had all ended due to his carelessness. Because his mistake was so great.

Out of the courtyard, Kania was greeted with the eyes of the neighbors. Some looked at him with pity, some looked at him with pity, some looked at him with curious gazes. Kania until clumsy made him.

"I guess, anyway, pregnant. How could Mr. Karno be so angry if he wasn't pregnant?"

"Geez, his father and mother worked hard in the village, he said he was studying in the city but the behavior was like that."

"Indeed, anyway, Mr. Karno's actions. Let her get kicked out of this village too if she is pregnant. Fear this village got unlucky because someone got pregnant out of wedlock."

Regardless of the words of the neighbors whose mouths were so spicy that they exceeded a level thirty boncabe, Kania walked quickly by dragging her suitcase.

Yes, at least Kania is aware that this is a punishment for her who can't take care of herself. The punishment for him had disappointed both his parents.

Kania just hope, hopefully both parents can live more quietly without the child who has tarnished their good name.

The pair of legs were moving in an uncertain direction. The heat turned cloudy, and then it rained, completely ignored. His feet keep moving. His eyes were empty.

He's Kania.

Under the torrent of rain, Kania again shed her tears. Crying under the rain, making others unable to see their tears.

However, from the appearance of Kania now even people who are passing by immediately understand that Kania is in big trouble.

Kania doesn't know where to go. He also had no idea what he would do after this for his life. Also for the fetus that is in his womb.

There is no way Kania will return to her boarding house and meet with Dita. Kania shy. He is ashamed of Dita, ashamed of the other boarding house residents, most of whom are students/i from the same campus where Kania attended.

"It's not worth living anymore" he said as he passed a bridge. Beneath it was a large river with a very heavy flow of water. "It looks like this river will give me the best place" he murmured softly.

Removing her grip on the suitcase and putting down her bag, Kania begins to climb the iron fence of the bridge.

There was a great fear in his heart. Seeing the swift water of the river and the height of the bridge with the river made Kania shudder in horror.

But despite her fear, Kania still wants to jump from the bridge. There's no point in him living.

Kania closed her eyes tightly. In his heart he was counting second by second.

One...

Two...

Three...

"Yeah..." Not the water where it landed. But on the hard asphalt his body fell. Kania immediately opened her eyes. See what has happened to him.

"What are you doing!?"

Kania flinched as Rama snapped at her. Rama's face looks very dislike and angry at the stupid actions that almost done by Kania.

One minute Rama was late, he could no longer see Kania for the rest of his life.

"What's on your mind, Ka? Why choose such a stupid path?"

Instead of answering, Kania was getting sobbing. "Why do you call me? You should have let me plunge down there," cried Kania while beating Rama's chest. His voice was muffled by the rain.

Kania shook her head strongly. "You're wrong, Ram. I have no future. My future is ruined. There's no point in me living."

Rama was silent to digest the speech that had just been thrown by Kania. "What do you mean?"

Kania. He hasn't told anyone what happened. Including Rama and Dita, his two best friends.

Rama got up and took Kania to get into the car. Kania suitcases and bags have also been put in the trunk. "We're going to your boarding house, yes," said Rama as he started his car.

"No," Kania refused firmly. "I'm not going to bed, Ram."

Rama looked at Kania. He canceled his car after hearing Kania's answer. "Why? Is there a problem with Dita?"

Kania shook her head. "I'm the one with the problem, Ram. I was ashamed to meet Dita. With you, I'm also ashamed" said Kania who lowered her head.

"What's the matter, Ka?" Rama looked at Kania in confusion. Feeling strange about Kania's changing attitude. Especially until Kania tries to kill herself.

Kania is crying again. But this time he covered his face with both hands. The issue is getting louder. "Hiks... I'm pregnant, Ram."

Kania's speech made Rama's body stiffen. The cold in the car suddenly became hot after Kania's confession.

Rama laughed blankly. "Don't listen to you, Ka. It's not funny."

Hearing Rama's words, Kania raised her face and stared intently at Rama. "You're saying I'm kidding, Ram? Then I was gonna kill myself, too, joking? Some kind of prank, huh? I'm serious, Ram. And I don't know how to. That's why I chose to end my life."

Both are equally silent. No one's making a sound. Only the rushing rain broke the silence between them.

"Who are you pregnant with, Ka? Roni?" rama asked at the end. His voice had already softened as his broken heart accepted the bitter reality. The woman he secretly admired was now pregnant with someone else.

Kania turned her face away. It was a shame to have to admit everything in front of Rama. "If I had known, I wouldn't have chosen suicide, Ram."

"What do you mean?" Rama was made increasingly clueless by Kania's words.

"That night, I was going to find Roni who took her parents' money. Her mother cried for help so I would look for Roni because the money was for her father's treatment. I'm looking for him at the nightclub. Instead of meeting, I met a depraved man who..." Kania is back. Unable to continue his sentence.

Telling it is the same as remembering the events of that night. The night he hated the most in his life.

Rama immediately hugged Kania who looked very fragile. One hand rubbed Kania's head wet from the rain. And one hand clenched tightly. In his heart, Rama promised that whoever did this heinous thing to Kania, he would finish him off. Rama will seek him to the ends of the world.

"I don't know what else to do, Ram. Both my parents no longer consider me a child because I have tarnished their good name. I let them down, Ram."

"You calm down, yeah. There is still me who will always be there for you" said Rama sincerely.

***

Kania and Rama have arrived at a place that Kania will live in for a while. In a city on the outskirts of east Java, very far from the city where Kania lectures and also the hometown of Kania. Kania no longer knew how to thank Rama.

Actually Kania is embarrassed. But this time he was forced to accept help from Rama because he did not know where to put his foot.

"For while you're staying here, yeah, Ka. The house is not too big. But it's comfortable, really."

The house that will be occupied by Kania for a while is the childhood home of Rama before his parents wander and succeed as they are now.

Although it's been a long time, but it's still well maintained and clean. There is one person who will come every day to clean the house.

"Every day there is a Ma'am Imas who comes to clean. If you're lonely, I can ask Ms. Imas to stay here. She is a widow and has no children."

Kania could only fall silent and stare at the figure who was his hero at the moment. Somehow fate if only Rama did not pull himself from the fence of the bridge.

Perhaps now her name has become a topic of tranding, young women found on the banks of the river, suspected of suicide because of being pregnant.

Then his face in the photo and spread on social media with the caption, maybe someone knows this woman.

After that his picture spread everywhere, his disgrace also spread.

Kania shuddered in horror. This time he thanked Rama for saving him. Otherwise, perhaps the disgrace had already become public consumption.

"Come, come in."

Rama's words drew Kania from his reverie. Doubtfully Kania steps her foot into Rama's old house.
