"What's wrong with you, Na?" Adrian was astonished to look at his wife because suddenly he was indifferent to Joddy when greeting them both when passing in the office basement.
"Why what?" Kana answered Adrian's question with a question as well. His hands are busy with mobile phones surfing in cyberspace.
The driving Adrian glanced at his wife." Same Joddy, how's that?" ask Adrian curious. It was not usual for Kana to be cold on her 'Sister Ketemu Gede.
Kana stopped her finger movements upon hearing Adrian's question." Shouldn't you be happy that I'm with Joddy's sister?" Kana glanced at her husband at a glance and then refocused on her phone.
Adrian thumping wrong behavior. Yeah, too, anyway. He will indeed welcome joy if it is true that Kana is away from Joddy. But why is it this drastic?
Although Joddy helped them a lot and Adrian actually did not mind that Joddy was close to Kana, with a note: one of them was not 'ever' to keep feelings.
"Are you with Joddy?" ask Adrian.
Kana shook her head slowly. "When you don't want to be labeled 'cheap' already have a husband still ngerecokin other men."
Adrian was shocked when he heard his wife's answer. "Lho, did someone say that?" It is not Adrian. He probably called his wife cheap. Cana is expensive. He cannot be assessed with the currency of any country. Kana complete package. Beautiful, innocent, intelligent, spoiled and certainly still a virgin when Adrian married her.
"Once there is," said Kana, he will not tell the incident at the cafe last afternoon. Kana is not a child anymore, which is a little bit complaining. He better keep it to himself.
"I don't really care if you're close to Joddy, honey. After all, you also think Joddy is just a big brother. After all, you guys knew him long before you married me, which is important you're just as he's really nothing more than a friend." If it's more than that, I'm really gonna take you away from Joddy. Adrian continues in his heart.
"Try aja Mbak Lian had the same thought," muttered Kana lirih, while throwing a view towards the outside of the car. It was fortunate that Adrian did not hear his murmur, being too preoccupied with his own thoughts.
"So you're gonna stay away from Joddy?" adrian asked carefully, glancing at Kana through the tail of his eyes.
"Not away either, but limiting." Because after all Joddy is very meritorious for Kana. Joddy was always there for Kana. Don't know if Kana's staying away from him.
Adrian's lips twitched holding a happy smile.
Yup! Yup!
Adrian cheered inwardly, limiting themselves may be important they did not intensely interact it was enough. Kana belongs to Adrian completely. No one can take Cana's attention away from her. It's a little Adrian when it comes to Cana.
*
Kana proved her nonsense, she completely restricted herself from Joddy. Rarely reply to Joddy's messages, also talk as necessary when Joddy visits the house. Likewise, if Kana runs into Joddy in a public place, then as much as possible Kana will avoid him.
One example. Today, Joddy and Kana are shopping in the same mini market. Kana who realized first was in the same place as Joddy chose to avoid. When Joddy is busy observing the price of instant noodles then Kana will hide on the other side that Joddy will not look. Kana sneaks while peeking at Joddy from behind the neatly lined items on the shelf. Praying, Joddy immediately went to the cashier to pay for his groceries and left first.
"For whom?" ask a voice behind Kana.
"Sister Joddy," replied Kana then hurriedly covered her mouth when she realized she was alone. Kana reflexes turned her back, and how surprised she was when she saw the figure standing behind her.
"K-sister Joddy?" hissing Kana restrained.
Joddy smiled amusedly. "Ear, eh?"
Kana straightened her body, then looked at the clumsy Joddy. "Hehe, got caught?" chortled.
"Coffee?" Joddy is raising his chin towards the outside of the mini market, across the street there is a kind of place to eat like a cafe.
Kana was silent for a moment thinking, before finally nodding.

"So, can you explain to me why you should avoid?" Joddy offers a cup of Kana's favorite latte.
Kana took the cup and sipped it. "I'm not avoiding."
"liks. You're lying, Dek." Joddy looked straight at Kana who was immediately mistaken. Cana forgot, Joddy not a day two to know Kana he knows for sure the habit of Kana if she is hiding something from him.
"Did I have the same fault as you?"
Kana shakes.
"Why should you avoid me?"
"I just don't feel good about Ian, sister," replied Kana, and Joddy knew that wasn't the real reason for Kana.
"Come, Deck. I know that's not why you."
"I just feel like we're getting too close, brother." Kana lowered her head as she said it. Joddy who heard Kana's words looked at her in disbelief.
"Too close? We don't even see Kana often. Even if we meet there must be a husband with your sister. So, I'm sure the reason - us - getting too close is not the real reason." Joddy refuted Kana's words.
"I just don't want to be labeled cheap, brother!" Kana looked at Joddy sharply, she was suddenly annoyed because she remembered the words Lian yamg called cheap.
"Prosperous? Who said you were cheap?"
Kana shut her mouth tight. "I don't have a husband, I don't deserve to bother another man." Cana quickly added. Joddy frowned in wonder. Why can this girl think like that?
"Who said you were cheap?"
"Nothing."
Joddy sighed and leaned forward, towards Kana. "Dec, look at me!"
Kana's reflexes looked at Joddy who was looking at her intently like she was looking for truth in Kana's eyes.
"What makes you avoid me or rather who
what made you avoid me?" Joddy locked his gaze on Kana.
Kana gulped a few times, for some reason her throat suddenly felt dry. "There's not. It's my own initiative!" sahut Kana then sipped his latte disguising his nervousness. Don't let Kana go.
Joddy exhaled a rough breath. "Surely that person also ngancem you're like Susan right? Watch out for people, it's over with me." Joddy clenched his hand but his tail glanced at Kana hoping the lure worked.
"No! Lian didn't fuck me, anyway!" Kana then closes her mouth tightly she alludes to her stupidity for getting into the trap of Joddy who smiles triumphantly for successfully trapping Kana to tell the truth.
"Oh, so because of Lian?" ask Joddy. Kana did not immediately answer she chose to duck as the answer because Kana knew, Joddy is not too stupid to interpret his inertia.
"Lian said anything to you, Na?" Joddy so remember when they met at the cafe, was that why Kana hurriedly left with an annoyed face? "Are you going to answer me or am I asking Lian directly now?" joddy gave Kana a choice.
"Ih, Brother Joddy what the hell! Yes, it's natural that Sister Lian is so because she loves you, sister," said Kana upset.
"Of whatever he likes me. He has no right to tell you to stay away let alone call you cheap. We're just friends. I'm the same he doesn't have any commitments."
Kana narrowed her eyes as she looked at Joddy. " Surely Brother Php-in him?"
Joddy. " Php what? No way. I've always been nice to you, to everyone."
"Well, there it is, brother. Your kindness that sometimes makes people misunderstand more," replied Kana.
"Including you?" shoot Joddy, Kana grieves, why is she also being snagged? Wrong itself used to be dishonest if you like, if you can consider.
"Sister.maybe it's true what Ms. Lian said. I'm too close to you and that's why you can't open your heart to other women." Jeez Kana wants to laugh, what a pity does that sound like, when did Joddy nge-jomlo because of him?
"Na, beat me up. " Joddy forced Kana to look at him. " I know my capacity as your friend Adrian. I have absolutely no intention of getting into the relationship between the two of you. You two I consider to be my own family. " Joddy paused, waiting for Kana's reaction.
"What I'm afraid of, that's my business. It's not Lian's business or anyone else's." I still love you or even love is also my heart's business Na. You don't have to think about it because it's my responsibility. Joddy continued in his heart.
"So if you stay away from me it will prove that what Lian said is true."
"Just kid! I'm not a flirtatious cheap lady, sister!" sambar Kana.
"Well, that's why. Be reasonable."
Kana fell silent thinking that everything Joddy said had a point. After all, Joddy had not shown any strange gurgles while with him.
"But until now why hasn't my sister got married?" Kana was intrigued to ask.
Wait for the widow! Joddy wanted to slap her own face because it was the same praying for a bad Kana.
"Because there's nothing right in Cana's heart, after all, I'm only 33 years old for men, still young." The same answer each Joddy was asked the same question by someone else.
"Kirain for waiting for me" Kana kikik, really Kana just kidding but did not expect Joddy to take it seriously.
"Indeed!"
