...HAPPY READING'S...
The time has already shown at 4pm.
It is time for all employees to go home.
In front of the office was a very crowded crowd of employees.
Most of them were picked up by their families.
But not a few also go home and drive an angkot.
One of them is Kirana.
"When the office disbandment, usually many angkot that hangs there. Why is there nothing this time?" Kirana dived here and there, her eyes exploring every corner of the road.
Wish he saw an angkot.
"Yes God! My feet are even tired of standing here, why is he (angkot ) not coming too anyway?" muttered Kirana while patting her feet
It had been almost an hour Kirana was standing there.
But none of the angkot for the majors to the house passing by.
"God!! I can't take it anymore, anyone passing by please let me hitchhike! My legs are tired!" Kirana was complaining to herself.
Until arriving, a motorbike stopped right in front of him.
"Candra's? Why is he here?" kirana muttered while turning her body hoping that Candra would not see her.
"Oh my goodness, that's when my request was granted? I was just kidding!" Kirana panicked when she realized what was going on.
Speech that he considered only a complaint, suddenly became a reality.
And to make matters worse, the one who came was Candra.
"Yes!" call Candra
Kirana pretends not to listen.
He plays his phone.
Tin..,tin..!
Candra honks her horn.
Kirana is shocked and drops her phone.
"God! Uhhh!! Basic lack of work, what the hell do you want? Lookie! My phone fell!" Kirana turned around and cursed at Candra.
Makes Candra's guts shrink.
"You know I'm here? Why was it when I called you that you didn't hear? You pretend you didn't see me?" Candra still tried to cover her surprise by pretending to reply to Kirana.
Kirana looked at Candra with an annoyed look.
And he left Candra.
"Today my mood is bad and my body is also very tired! Why do I still have to see it?" Kirana walked while muttering.
Candra didn't just shut up to see Kirana leave.
He continued to follow Kirana from behind.
It doesn't matter if you'll get a scolding back from Kirana.
"Basic rock! Why does he keep following me?" kirana muttered after finding out that Candra was following her
"It's getting dusk, I don't think there will be any angkot passing by. You just come home with me" said Candra as she continued to follow Kirana
"Who said I was waiting for an angkot? I was waiting for someone" Kirana paused for a moment and turned back to reply to Candra.
"Who? Don't tell me you're waiting for someone's husband, pity his wife" Candra was insinuating Kirana about what happened this morning.
[ Husband of people? Whatdoes thatmean? Holy jeez!! Did he know that I hired someone to lie to him this morning? You emberr! ]
Knowing that Candra knew about the trick.
Kirana was embarrassed, this time she did not even reply to Candra's words and continued walking.
"Na.., until when do you want to keep going? The distance to your house is still very far, isn't it tired?" candra said
"Huh basic! You think you can seduce me? What do you think I'm a silly woman? Huh!! Although it's tiring and my legs have begun to cramp, but don't expect me to go home with you!" Kirana continued to grumble quietly as she continued walking.
Bruck!!
Because it had gone too far, and his feet were really limp.
Kirana finally stumbled and fell down.
Candra immediately reflexed down from her motorbike and ran to help Kirana who was in pain.
"Ughh!! My legs hurt a lot!" Kirana tried to stand up, she did not want Candra to help her.
But in vain, his legs sprained and could not stand.
"Na, are you okay?" candra said while trying to reach Kirana.
But Kirana pushed Candra away.
"You! Go there! Don't care about me!" snapped Kirana
"You're like this still stubborn!" reply Candra
Candra's words further enraged Kirana.
Suddenly, those memories reappear.
It was a difficult and painful moment where she was slumped and sick from Candra.
"Hard-headed? Who is stubborn! Heh? If I'm stubborn then what are you?! Heh!!" I don't know what possessed Kirana until she became so angry.
"You come and go as you please without caring about others! What name is suitable for you? You even called me stubborn for something as trivial as this, then I should call you what!!" Kirana is hysterical.
His eyes stared intently at Candra.
Candra did not expect that Kirana would say something like this.
The guilt re-emerged.
"Na.., I'm sorry. How long will you hate me? What should I do to make you forgive me" said Candra
"Go away from me" Kirana replied
"I thought that night when you agreed to be my friend again, you would accept and forgive me. But why is it like this now?" Candra was still trying to calm Kirana down.
Cannot be denied.
She now loves Kirana.
"I did accept you back to be my friend. But friends shouldn't overdo it like this! You keep approaching me! You are really selfish! You don't know how hard I was at that time? Did you think of that? You don't even care and go missing! And now, are you casually coming and demanding that I come back to like you like you used to? What the hell are you thinking? Do you think I'm a silly woman?heh?" Kirana was no longer able to hold her taste for longer.
He now wants Candra to know what she felt first.
His glassy eyes couldn't hold back his anger and sadness.
After getting angry, he even cried as soon as he dipped in the street.
Candra had not expected it to be like this.
Because of his actions, to the point of leaving a very deep wound in Kirana's heart.
Not thinking long, seeing Kirana crying.
He also hugged her.
"I'm sorry, I think God has punished me. Now, I turn to love you so much. So please, you're not adding to my punishment. Give me another chance.., please" Candra whispered softly.
Slowly Kirana released Candra's embrace.
After crying and screaming, his anger had subsided.
"We're going home" Kirana said slowly
Candra smiled happily.
He rushed Kirana to his bike.
Along the way, they were silent.
Kirana herself was troubled by Candra's words.
[God's Punishment? Agh.., did I go too far with her? I'm sorry, God, I didn't mean that.]
****
Inside the room, Kirana was pensive. His eyes were staring at the sky of his room.
A strange feeling, which he himself did not understand.
"What does God really want from me? I love her, but SHE's distancing. I forgot about it but HE came back closer. Whatisthis? Huh! I'm really, really tired"
Kirana knew it was inappropriate for her to blame fate.
His love is like a kite that is being pulled over.
"I hate him! I cursed it! How could I take it back? I should how?hyx"
That night, Kirana struggled with her feelings.
He should be able to take a stance soon.
Because tomorrow, Candra will definitely come back.
Kirana wakes up to get the massage oil lying on her desk.
"Ughh! My legs like his are so bad, is this also a punishment from God for nagging him? Huh! It really hurts" Kirana tried to move her sprained leg earlier.
"Even he still had time to go to buy this massage oil for me"
(Epilogue)
After driving Kirana home, Candra rushed to the pharmacy to buy massage oil for Kirana.
Somehow the story goes, now he cares so much for Kirana.
Looking at Kirana who was in pain like that, it felt completely unbearable.
After getting what he wants to buy.
Candra returns to Kirana's house to give her the oil.
"Why are you back?" Kirana who was still sitting on the terrace was surprised to see Candra coming back.
"I bought massage oil for you, whether this is true or not. But the seller said earlier, this is very effective to relieve the sprained leg" Candra gave a plastic package containing massage oil to Kirana.
"Here I apply" said Candra as she bowed
"Ehh!! No need! Just let me be alone, Trimaksih. But you better go home" Kirana felt awkward responding to Candra's attitude.
"All right, me. I go home first. Don't forget to treat your feet, hopefully get well soon" Candra said before leaving
****
Cring...,
The alarm clock sounded loud.
Wake the owner of his house from his sleep.
"Agh.., why is time so fast, I haven't even slept so soundly! But it was morning" Kirana wriggled her body to and fro, she felt her feet.
"My feet, this oil really works. Now, my legs can move" Kirana said as she moved her legs
"Ughh! I am too lazy to work. What if I meet Candra? What am I gonna say?" after last night, Kirana is not ready to meet Candra.
I don't know, because of Candra's words that night, Kirana felt guilty.
"Is he really being punished because of me? But that punishment was a love for me, because now that he's turned to love me, he's taking this as a punishment?" Kirana again guessed everything herself.
"If he thinks that loving me is a punishment, then it is better not to take him seriously! I think it's so much better"
Kirana tried to calm her mind.
He did not want to be affected by Candra anymore.
He needs to focus on his life.
Work hard to achieve a beautiful future.
Kirana walked slowly through the alley of her house to the intersection to look for angkot.
Although it is a little light, but still a little sore if you have to walk fast.
After being hobbled by walking, Kirana finally reached the crossroads of the highway.
"Your legs are still sick, let me just take them" Candra arrived.
[Him again, my God!! What exactly is your plan? Why do you keep making him come to me? ]
Kirana was surprised to see Candra suddenly appear before her.
"Thank you, I'll take the angkot" Kirana said flatly
"Na, don't make last night happen again" Candra tries to persuade Kirana
[After all, I followed his will, and it was almost too late. If I get on the lot, it'll be too late. ]
Kirana finally complies with Candra's will.
Along the way, they were silent.
Kirana herself did not deliberately want to engage in any conversation with Candra.
He must really take care of his heart.
"May,"
"Hemm"
"Once last night, did you have an answer for that?" Candra repeated her words
"What?" reply Kirana
"I. I love you. How you feeling?is it still the same as it used to be?" candra said
"You said that feeling is a punishment from God, right? What should I pay for it?" reply Kirana calm
"Let God work, let us live like this. Don't demand more" Kirana really doesn't want to be affected by Candra.
Candra just fell silent at Kirana's reply.
He knew he was selfish.
Asking the person who clearly has been hurt to come back to love her.
"Well, we just follow the NYA plan" Candra said
"O yes, next time you don't be too nice to me. I don't want to get used to it. Do you know how hard it is for me to heal my wounds?" Kirana tried to warn Candra.
After a few minutes of travel.
Finally they arrived at Kirana's workplace.
"Later in the afternoon I'll pick you up" said Candra
"No, I told you. Don't get me used to you" Kirana said
Candra is ready for what happened.
He had tried to convince Kirana that he had changed.
But until now, Kirana still could not accept it anymore.
"Alright, if you need any help. Don't hesitate to call me" Candra passed away
Along the way sweet memories used to be with Kirana came back.
The moment in which he was loved sincerely by a girl.
In the joys and sorrows of the girl always accompanied him.
But because of his stupidity, everything became like this.
Candra really feels sorry.
He didn't expect it to be like this.
Meanwhile at Kirana's workplace.
"Na" said Iis
"Yes" replied Kirana
"I saw that you were coming with Candra, yeah, it looks like you guys are getting closer" Iis said
"Don't think like that" Kirana tried to divert Iis's mind
"Yesterday afternoon, I also saw you being picked up by him, right? If it's not close then what's your relationship with her" Iis is still trying to interrogate Kirana
"It's just a coincidence she's passing by here" Kirana really doesn't want to make Iis misunderstand.
"That's it, trust me. With her I have nothing to do" that's all Kirana can say right now to convince Iis.
Although Kirana herself was worried.
I will love Candra again.
His heart is very weak.
He was afraid that Candra's constant attention would re-fertilize the love she had buried deep.
