After going through a pretty tough debate, Joddy's request to exchange positions with Diamond was approved by their superiors, as well as Lian. Strict sanctions remain given to him, Lian remains mutated to another city but still in one island, Bandung.
Lian was really sorry for the mistake she made and caused Joddy to have to go far. If he could hold back his ego maybe today he could still try to take Joddy's heart. But regret always comes later.
Today he will apologize and thank his former boss, because Joddy Lian's departure to Papua was canceled.
"Bang!" Lian shouted to Joddy when she saw the man coming out of the HRD room. Joddy who was intending to go home was careless when he saw Lian running small towards him, the long dark purple hair tied by a ponytail swinging around. Lian looks beautiful, but still Joddy just thinks her friend can't be more than that.
"What's wrong?"
Lian stopped right in front of Joddy, she caught her breath panting. " Bang, can I talk to you for a second?" he asked after his breathing was normal.
Joddy nodded then pointed at the waiting chair that was not far from them standing.
Lian followed Joddy sitting next to her. "Bang, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry to act like that. I-I'm too selfish, I shouldn't have maxed out my feelings for you, Bang. I'm sorry, this mess is really because of me. And you shouldn't have to sacrifice so far Bang."
Joddy looked at Lian and smiled. " So you chose to resign?"
Lian flinched in surprise then shook her head. "I'm sorry, Bang. It sounds selfish, but I can't resign either. I need this job. I'm sorry, Bang." Lian bowed, her cheeks already wet with tears.
"I know Lian. It's not easy being you. You don't have to feel guilty, the important thing is that you admit that you're wrong and apologize, I hope you won't repeat the same." Joddy's advice warms Lian's heart. Lian thinks Joddy is still mad at her, but it turns out to be true what her office friends say. Joddy's a good man and Lian doesn't regret having fallen for him.
"I didn't go to Papua because of you, but maybe this is the way that I'm not too stagged on the same people. Papua is a unique place. I like everything unique. Yeah, who knows if there's a chieftain's son who's in love with me." Joddy chuckles.
"When you leave?" ask Lian.
"A week away."
"So fast?"
Joddy nodded, the office was urgent because it needed employees and inevitably Joddy had to leave immediately.
"Hopefully succeed, Bang! Take good care of yourself, Bang." Lian's eyes began to glaze over it felt like a person who had just been heartbroken by a breakup.
"You too." Joddy rubbed Lian's head, it felt like Lian was eager to hold Joddy's fingers feel the warmth. But, he knew himself enough not to do that.
"Good in Bandung. Don't be easy to trust the man you just know, because there are still many other 'Joddy-Joddy' that are more dangerous." Joddy wanted to laugh at his own advice.
"It remains a shining diamond even if it falls in the mud. You are like my own sister. I hope my little sister is happy and can get a sincere partner. Sorry for my mistake, too, "Joddy continued. Lian wiped away the tears that escaped wetting her cheeks.
"Thank you, Bang. Sorry Lian. Semog Bang Joddy could soon open his heart to another woman. "Lian wished the woman was herself. But it seemed like it would never happen because he had just found out Joddy only thought of him as a younger brother. No more than that. Be ill. Bemoan. But he must be sincere, because somewhere his soul mate is waiting. Although in his heart Lian hopes his soul mate is Joddy.
Joddy nodded then patted Lian on the shoulder a few times. "Well, before I go can I ask you something?" ask Joddy. Lian hurriedly nodded. Whatever Lian will do.
"I apologize to Kana before we both leave, "Joddy's love made Lian pause for a moment before finally nodding and smiling sweetly.
"Lian's Lian's listening."

The thing Joddy hated the most was saying goodbye. Farewell is pushy, and forcing is painful. Same when he has to face the fact that he will soon leave Jakarta. Leaving Kana. The special girl in his heart who was now looking at him sharply like a judge who was preparing to judge his accusation, when Joddy deliberately visited the house of Adrian and Cana to say goodbye.
Joddy accidentally asks for time together with Kana ignoring Adrian and Kanda who have since noticed the two from the dining room. Adrian initially refused when Joddy asked permission to talk to his wife. Where does one try, a husband who would willing his wife to be alone with another man? But damn Joddy, he's got a surefire way to get Kana to persuade Adrian to let Kana talk to him. And look now, Adrian is restlessly watching his wife and best friend who were 30 minutes ago just silent to each other.
Beyond their expectations. They thought when Kana heard the news that Joddy was going to move to Papua she would cry for a hiccup but she was silent.
"Dare to bet, once Joddy opens his mouth will be slapped the same Si Kuya," whispered Kanda, Adrian took a quick glance and just silently not interested in the words of the Sister-in-law. Adrian is more interested in two people who are silent and look at each other.
"Dek ak -"
Plakk
"Am right what I said Ian? Kana will slap the Shucks, " whispered Kanda. Adrian was quite amazed also by Kanda's correct guess. He also did not expect Kana to slap Joddy.
Joddy held onto the cheek that Kana slapped. " Deck?" For years knowing Kana only this time he got a slap, even Joddy sure once Adrian had never been slapped by Kana.
"I hate you, brother! Why so rash? Why did Joddy ask to change positions with Mbak Lian? In this case, my brother is not wrong. But me and Brother Lian were wrong!" Kana says it emotionally she did not expect because she Joddy had to suffer the consequences.
"You're the same Lian wasn't wrong Kana. I took the decision to move to Papua not entirely because of this issue. But I have to move so I can improve, not so." A lie! Joddy lied, in fact he wanted to escape the fact that he liked people's wives, and Lian's problems yesterday were just 'tickets' so he had a reason to leave.
"But why should Papua? That's a long way!" Kana's eyes are already glazed he does not accept if he has to lose someone as good as Joddy, who is always there for him, who always obeys his will, he said, who always supported him and who always understood him even when Cana was in a bad state.
Joddy's always there.
"Because it just so happens that the office there is in need of employees, Kana." Joddy clenched his hands firmly refraining from hugging the girl in front of him, as Kana's sad face was really tormenting her.
Is Joddy wrong because at the same time he made two women sad? Jeez, Joddy really wants to hug Kana.
Remember Jod, he belongs to people. You deserve nothing!
"I'm sorry, brother, all because of me!" Kana closed her face with both palms crying out for a hiccup, Joddy was eager to pull Kana's shoulder and hugged her tightly but the pair of sharp eyes in the corner undo his intentions. The jealous man could have broken his legs and arms.
"Hey, don't cry, Na." Joddy pulled out Kana's hand which covered her face. Then rub the corner of Kana's watery eyes. Adrian who saw it could only snort as his eyes said, 'Okay, I'm still watching'.
"I'm just going to Papua Na. Not the south pole we can still meet, right, if you are the same Adrian vacation to Raja Ampat?" Joddy tried to cheer Kana up. In his heart he was happy too, for Kana was crying over his departure. That means Joddy's pretty important to Kana.
"Can't be!" kana exclaimed in annoyance making Joddy frown.
"Why is that?"
"The cost to Raja Ampat is very expensive to visit Europe!" sahut Kana, make Joddy laugh and then glance at Adrian who patted his eel inexhaustible with the innocence of Kana who still often appears.
"Sister, if Brother Joddy goes who's my guardian angel?"
Huh, guardian angel? Could Joddy be cheering for being considered an angel by Kana?
"There's Adrian and Kanda. They will always look after you, Na," said Joddy, undoing his intention to do a celebrity on the confession of Kana who thought of him as an angel.
"Yes, but if Kana's in the same sprain they're running where if Big Brother's gone."
"You can call me. By phone, messaging, social media or email. If Adrian gets to you, I'LL TAKE YOU TO PAPUA !" Intentionally Joddy raised his voice in his last sentence to make Adrian curse and then shouted, "Step my corpse, Shucks!"
"See. Your possessive and jealous husband will take good care of you and trust Na he will not hurt you." Joddy took Kana's hand and clasped her fingers ignoring the sound of the table breaking at the end.
"You're fine, yeah. Take care of your health, don't eat spicy food let me spit it out again."
Kana nodded slowly. "Sister too. Keep health. Don't like PHP-in people anymore. And the marriage is hunted, get the man there also no papa."
"You're!" Joddy chuckles and shuffles Kana's hair. A habit he will always miss. "Can I hug Na?" joddy asked, Kana smiled and then slammed into Kana's arms. Making Adrian's patience run out immediately he moved from his seat preparing to hit Joddy but fortunately with a swift Kanda prevented it.
"Udah, justin. Kasian Si Kampret love is not the delivery of hug time as a sign of separation is not allowed?" whisky Kanda. Adrian snorted and sat back down.
"You should be happy, Na." I will always take care of you in prayer. Joddy continued in his heart. He inhaled the scent of mint that was emanating from Kana's hair. This fragrance she will always remember. Kan Joddy kept it well in his memory.
"Sister Joddy too. Sayonara, Brother!"
Joddy closed her eyes hugging Kana tightly. If there is another life, may we be found as a soul mate.
