Love That Pain
It's more than enough

After Veon's departure, Zaki received a phone call from Chelsea. The woman knew that Kania was leaving the house, and of course she knew that information from the man she was currently talking to.

“Have you heard of Kania?” although Chelsea were not there, but he was also very worried about the situation of Kania, however Kania had been considered like his own brother.

Zaki shook his head, even though the woman could not see what she was doing, “I was confused to find her where else, all corners of Jakarta city I have searched, I have searched, I've even searched out the city, but the results remain nil,” he said.

“Do you still keep calling Kania number?”

“It looks like Kania has changed his number, because his old number can not be contacted.”

“I've taken my leave, I'm going home to Jakarta. I will help you and Brother Veon to find Kania, maybe later in the afternoon my flying hour, wait for me yes.”

“Chel, there's one thing I haven't said to you.”

“What is it?” Chelsea looked very curious.

“Both of your parents do not know that Kania disappeared, so when you get here and are at home, do not ever talk about Kania.”

“Alright, I know why you hid all that from Mama and Papa. Brother doesn't want to make them anxious, and I'll help him.”

“Alright, then I close the phone first. I have to keep looking for news about Kania.” Zaki then ended the call.

“Kania, have you slept?” Eca knocked on Kania's room door.

Kania who was still standing in front of the window also stepped foot towards the door, “what is it, Ca?” he asked when the door was wide open.

“There are important things I want to talk to you about, we better talk inside.” Eca then went into Kania's room, she then sat her body on the edge of the bed, “why are you even dumbfounded, here,” call her when she saw Kania still standing sculpting in front of the room door.

Kania closed the door, she then stepped her feet closer to Eca, “what do you want to talk about?” ask her while sitting her body next to her best friend.

“How about your content, everything is fine right?” Kania nodded her head, Eca was happy to see it, “Kania, earlier Mas Rega offered a house for us to live in, the house was located close to the restaurant. Mas Rega wants us to occupy the house because the house has not been occupied for a long time, what do you think?” tanyakanya.

“Ca, actually I don't want to trouble Mas Rega, he's been too good with me. I actually don't want to have a debt of gratitude to him.”

Eca grasps the hand of Kania, “Kania, just this once throw away your ego and self-esteem, for the sake of the child you bear. Then Mas Rega does all that because he cares so much about you, no longer do you think about your husband who is completely irresponsible. Maybe now he is having fun with his new wife,”.

“But why should we stay at home Mas Rega, this house for me is more than enough.”

“But this home environment does not match your child's development.”

Eca House is indeed in a remote area, besides the house is very old condition, even the paint-paint the walls of the house that began to mushroom and peeling. Eca just wants Kania to live in a decent house for her to live in along with her prospective children.

Kania tries to consider Eca's offer, which her best friend says is true. Her child could not have grown up in such an environment. But is he really going to settle down in that town and not want to see his family again?

“Ca, have I also been troubling you all this time?” ask Kania suddenly.

Eca shook her head, “ I am even very happy you want to accompany me, besides I also have no one else,” he said.

Kania seemed to be thinking, she wanted to make her best friend happy, especially her best friend had been living with her mother, but unfortunately, her mother did not care about her at all.

Kania patted Eca on the shoulder, “if you want to move to Mas Rega's house, I just follow. Anyway with us staying in that house, we can save more time and expenses,” he said with a smile on his face.

Eca hugged Kania very tightly, “you are indeed my best friend,” he said.

Eca nodded her head, “you want to ask me what I am, don't you already know all about me?” tanyanya.

“Do you have any special feelings for Mas Rega?”

Eca shook her head. “where maybe I have the same feeling Mas Rega. Rega is my friend and life support. Thanks to Mas Rega as well I can survive until now, he is a very good man,” he said.

“Ca, actually I feel a lot indebted to Mas Rega, especially so far he has been too good with me, I do not know how to repay his kindness so far.”

“The way is easy, you accept the feeling of him, so Mas Rega will be very happy,” chirped Eca.

Kania scrunched her forehead, “what do you mean? Accept the feeling of Mas Rega?” tanyanya surprised.

“Ops.” Eca then shut her mouth, damn it! I slipped again, Kania must have been very surprised, what should I say now? Thought confused.

“Ca, what did your words mean?” ask Kania again.

“Em..I mean I, you accept her sincere feelings to help you, so Mas Rega will feel happy. You will know for yourself Mas Rega people do not like to be denied,” said Eca while grinning a horse showing a row of neat and white teeth.

“You are right, the nature of Mas Rega is almost the same as my husband, but the difference Mas Rega looks more calm and not cold like him.” Kania lowered her face, without her noticing the tears starting to flow from both corners of her eyes, “Ca, why I have not been able to forget her, even though she has already hurt my heart so much, but I can't hate him at all. This love is getting deeper, I miss him a lot,” he added with a heavy tone of voice.

Eca hugged Kania and rubbed her best friend's back slowly, “you who are patient yes, Kan. One day there will be happiness waiting for you there. I am sure all the suffering you are now experiencing will be replaced with abundant happiness,” he said trying to calm his best friend who is currently starting to sob in his arms.

“Darling, now tell me Mama, actually what happened between you and your wife?”

Currently Vera was sitting together with Veon. Vera asked her son to stay at her house tonight. She misses her children very much, but her beloved daughter is far away from her.

“What does Mama mean? Veon and Kania no problem anything,” elak Veon.

“You can't lie to your dear Mama, Mama knows exactly what you're like when you're lying.”

Veon let out a long sigh, “maafin Veon, Ma. Veon could not take good care of Veon's wife. Veon cannot be a good husband to Kania, Veon has failed, Ma,” he said while lowering his face.

Vera rubbed Veon's arm very gently, “fighting in the household is normal, but do not let it be too long,” he said. Vera thinks Veon and Kania are having a fight, which is why Kania does not come to her house to have dinner with her.

Veon just nodded in understanding, ‘maafin Veon, Ma. Veon didn't mean to lie to Mama, but Veon just didn't want to make Mama and Papa anxious,’ muttered inwardly.

“Tomorrow Mama will meet your wife, Mama will persuade her to come home to this house again.”

Veon rounded his eyes, “em. Let Veon solve Veon's own problems. In addition Veon and Kania have also decided to live independently, maybe that way Veon and Kania can learn to understand each other,” he said.

Vera let out a long sigh, “if that's what you want, Mama can't do anything either. Mama hopes you can take care and make Kania happy, because Kania is a very good girl. You're lucky to get a wife as good and beautiful as Kania. Moreover, the age he is still very young,” he said.

Veon smiled, what his mother said is indeed true. He should be grateful to have a beautiful, young and kind wife like Kania. But why all this time he only realized it after the woman left his life, leaving him in sorrow and emptiness.

Veon's world was empty, his life seemed colorless. There was nothing he could hug, kiss and act spoiled. There was no more laughter in Kania's joking days, only emptiness and silence. Veon is just grumpy every day, and the targets of his anger are Zaki and Dimas. Though Veon knew, they were completely innocent. After scolding Zaki and Dimas, he regrets and condemns himself.

‘Kania, wherever you are, I hope you will be fine. Wait for me baby, I will definitely find you soon. I'll take you back home, I'll change my attitude, I'll be more considerate and care about you. Come back, I beg you. I miss you so much,’ muttered Veon in heart.
