Love That Pain
Hope

Eca was very surprised when she saw Kania coming home with her Papa. Eca had seen Papa Kania when Papa Kania came to their school first. Kania told her father to sit on the living room sofa.

“Honey, whose home is this?” Mr. Zaiz circulated his gaze around the corner of the room. The house feels so comfortable, the air feels cooler.

“This is home of Mas Rega, Pa. Kania has been staying here.”

“Now tell me everything the same Papa, what really happened between you and your husband?” On the way to the house, Kania had not told her Papa why she could be in such a remote place.

“Kania will tell you everything, but Kania hopes Papa will not hate Kania's husband, because this is not her fault,” pinta Kania.

“Papa will decide after hearing the whole story, and why you choose to stay here instead of in your husband's luxurious house.”

“Kania wants to be honest with Papa, actually all this time Kania's marriage is just a charade. Veon has never loved Kania and Kania is also self-conscious, if this Kania is nobody to her.”

Mr. Zaiz rounded his eyes, “what do you mean dear, has not your marriage been okay? Even when you and your husband were staying at the house at the time, Papa could see how happy you were,”.

“Kania is indeed very happy, Pa, being able to be with Kania's husband, but Kania cannot understand Kania's true feelings. Whether he also considers Kania as his wife or not,” Kania said as she lowered her face.

“Honey, trust Papa, that Veon loves you so much, Papa can see that from the way he looks at you and treats you gently.”

‘If she loves Kania, she won't hide anything from Kania, Pa. Let alone letting Bella stay in her house,’ muttered Kania in heart.

Kania decides not to tell her about Bella. She did not want her father to hate her husband more, enough of her to know the ugliness of her husband.

“Honey, let's go home now, maybe now your husband is confused looking for you,” refer Mr. Zaiz.

Kania shook her head, “one day Kania will be home, Pa. but not for now. Kania still wants to be alone, reflecting on everything before Kania makes a decision for the future of Kania,” he said.

“But Papa is not calm if you live in this house? Moreover, this place is very far from Jakarta,” said Pak Zaiz worried.

The middle-aged man was actually still wondering why his daughter had decided to leave her husband's house. Moreover during these two months, Veon also did not tell him about Kania's departure.

The middle-aged man would ask Veon directly, as well as he wanted to check the truth about what his daughter said. If Veon did love Kania so much, he would know about it after seeing her.

“Pa, Kania hope Papa will be able to keep a secret, do not tell him that Kania is here. Kania is not ready to meet her yet,” pinta Kania.

“Darling, wouldn't it be better for you to solve your problems together, if you behave like this, wouldn't it magnify the problem even more. Especially considering the nature of your husband is very hard and firm, Papa is just afraid, he will become angry later, dear.”

“Papa take it easy, Kania will soon solve the problem of Kania, but not for now.”

The middle-aged man watched his daughter closely, “sayang, what weight did you gain, Papa notice your body is getting fuller?” tanyanya.

“Em..it's because of Kania..”.

The sound of the door being knocked, Kania moved from her seat and stepped her feet towards the door. Rega stood at the door with a smile on his face, he also carried several paper bags filled with various kinds of food. Rega knew that Kania had not had lunch.

Kania told Rega to come in, the man then greeted back Papanya Kania, “Mas Rega did not need to bother bringing food, I could order go food,” he said.

“From you continue to refuse windfall, mendingan you ready to eat food, I am also hungry, have not had time to eat lunch.” Rega pushed Kania's body slowly and asked her to prepare lunch.

Rega sitting in front of Kania's Papa, “Om must be very worried about Kania, but Om take it easy, I will take good care of Kania and her future children,” he said.

Mr. Zaiz rounded his eyes, “what did you say? Child candidate? That means Kania is now being..”.

“So Kania hasn't told Om yet, that she's pregnant?” ask Rega surprised.

Mr. Zaiz shook his head, “how old is he now?” tanyanya seriously.

“Three months, Om.”

The middle-aged man then moved from his seat, “I have to go, please take care of my children and future grandchildren. Say the same Kania, I still have important business,” he said then stepped his feet out of the house.

The middle-aged man could not stay silent to see his daughter's life suffer, let alone his future grandson who was completely innocent and had to suffer only because of his mistake, “forgive dear Papa, he said, it's all Papa's fault. If Papa had not used you as a means to repay Papa's debts, then your life would not have suffered like this. But take it easy, Papa will bring your happiness.”

“We go straight to my daughter-in-law's office,” she told her personal driver.

“But sir, instead we still have to attend an important meeting this afternoon?” ask the young woman who has the status of private secretary Mr. Zaiz.

“Cancel everything, there are more important things than that meeting.”

The middle-aged man looked worried, “what if you were the only one representing me to attend the meeting, I believe you can do it,” he suggested.

“But, Sir...me..”.

“We go to the restaurant first, after that just returned to Jakarta.”

“Good, Mr.”

Mr. Zaiz patted his secretary on the shoulder, “I trust you all, I believe you can,” he said encouragingly.

***

Veon was surprised to see his in-laws coming to his office. Veon had already begun to accept the fact that the middle-aged man currently sitting at his desk was his in-laws.

“For what Papa came to Veon office?” tanyanya.

“Papa just want to know the news of Kania, it has been two months more he did not visit Papa.” The middle-aged man deliberately provoked Veon's reaction. He will tell the truth about Kania's departure or he will hide the truth.

Veon rounded his eyes, he was confused what to answer, but the man was forced to lie, “Papa just calm down, Kania is fine,”, he said with a smile.

“Are you sure? There's nothing you're hiding from Papa, right?” tanyanya seriously.

“What Papa means?”

“Papa wants to meet Kania now.” The middle-aged man then moved from his seat, “Papa hope you do not hinder Papa to meet with Papa's daughter, besides that Papa also wants to meet your parents,” he added.

“Pa, wait!” veon shouted as his in-laws were about to open the door of his room, “Kania is not home now,”.

Mr Zaiz turned his body around, “then where is Kania now?” tanyakanya.

Veon shook his head, “Veon did not know, Kania left the house. Veon has been trying to look for him everywhere, but did not find him,” he said while lowering his face.

The middle-aged man took his foot to Veon's desk, and he sat his body in one of the chairs in front of Veon's desk, “why are you looking for Kania, don't you just think of him as your servant?”

“What did Papa say?”

Mr. Zaiz issued a document of agreement between himself and Veon when Veon gave him a quote that time, “did you forget this agreement document?” ask him while putting the document on the table.

Veon took the document and tore it up and threw it away, “I never thought of Kania as a servant, Kania is my wife now, she means a lot to me. During these two months I kept looking for her, hoping to find her soon and bring her back.”

Mr. Zaiz pulled both corners of his lips together to form a smile, “does that mean you love Kania so much?” tanyakanya.

Veon nodded his head, he would no longer hide his feelings anymore, and admitted everything, “I can't live without Kania, all this time I continue to survive in the hope that Kania will come back with me again.”

“Do you really want to meet her?” Veon nodded his head, “then Papa will tell you where Kania is,”.

Veon rounded his eyes, “what does Papa mean? do you know where Kania is now?” tanyanya surprised.

“Papa will tell where Kania is, but with one condition.”

“What Papa wants to play me?”

Mr. Zaiz shook his head, “Papa only asks for one thing with you, never you hurt Kania again, if until you do that, Papa will take it back,” he threatened.

“I promise, I will make Kania happy, now tell me, where is Kania now?”

Mr. Zaiz told Veon where Kania is now, but he didn't tell her about Kania's pregnancy. He wanted Kania to tell Veon the good news. Veon looked very happy, after a long wait he finally found out where Kania was.

Veon calls Zaki and tells him to get ready, he can't wait to meet his beloved wife. Zaki who heard the news was also no less happy like Veon. They set off for the place where Kania had been hiding all this time, Veon did not even care if it was almost midnight.

The most important thing for him is to immediately meet his beloved wife who he missed so much all this time, “sayang, wait for me, I will take you home soon, he said, and I won't let you leave me again.”

Zaki who heard Veon's words smiled widely, finally Veon can rediscover his happiness, the smile was again seen after a long time disappeared, ‘Chelsea will definitely be happy to hear this happy news, and the,’ his murmur in the heart.
