Love That Pain
Recognition...

Veon and Zaki arrive at the house that Kania occupied at 03:00 in the morning. Veon did not want to disturb Kania's sleep, even though she missed him so much, she tried to endure it. In addition, the drowsiness had begun to hit both eyes.

“Zak, we better wait until morning. I don't want to disturb his sleep. We better wait here, besides that I want to close my eyes for a moment.”

Zaki nodded in understanding, he was also very tired after driving for hours. He did not expect Kania would hide in a remote place like this, ‘eya me and my men could not find him, he hid so far. But I'm curious, for these two months he's been living in whose house?’ he murmured in the heart.

Zaki saw that Veon had started to fall asleep, he also began to close his eyes, drowsiness also doubled him.

As usual, Kania wakes up earlier than Eca. Kania started cleaning the house, preparing breakfast, after which cleaning herself. Eca who was also getting ready also stepped towards the dining table.

Kania cuisine is indeed very delicious, to make Eca feel very full because it has spent two dishes at once. Kania even felt surprised by his best friend, despite eating a lot, but his weight did not increase fat at all.

“Ca, I leave first, I want to stop by Kak Rega's house for a while, I want to deliver this food for him.”

“Wah...tumben you want to make provisions for him, instead he is the owner of the restaurant, so he will not be short of food,” Eca tease.

“I know, but I promised to bring him this meal. Think of this as my thanks, because all this time he's been so good with me.”

“Not Mas Rega stay with his Mama, are you really going to come to his house?”

“Mamma Mas Rega is returning home, so I want to give the food to him, because maybe he is starving now.”

“Which is possible, he will have a household assistant, you are here.” Eca said while shaking her head.

“Betul yes, keep this food for whom dong, will be redundant if thrown away.”

“Let me eat it later, or if you don't just take it to the resto, you can later eat for lunch.”

Kania shook his head, “you know, I do not like food that is cold,” he said.

Eca took the food supply box, “let me eat later, I mah any food I eat, which is important good,” he said with a smile on his face.

“Yes, let's go now. You lock the door, we go through the back door, we pass the shortcut so it's closer.”

Eca nodded her head, and they walked out the back door. They headed for the restaurant via a shortcut, entering the residential road to the highway, where the Rega restaurant was located.

“If the road is like this, I remember when we went to school.” Eca recalled the past when they were in school, “I left for school on foot, I was even often punished, because often late to school,” he added.

“I remember that, just for the sake of accompanying you, I even willingly punished as well.” Kania smiled happily, “I miss those good times,”.

They kept their feet down that road. They remember each other's past, the most beautiful times, namely the High School.

Zaki opened his two eyes slowly, he then looked at the clock on his wrist. The man rounded his eyes when he saw his watch showing at 11:00 p.m.

“Master, wake.” Zaki tries to wake Veon up, but the man does not wake up. Maybe the drowsiness is still drowning him.

Finally Zaki got out of the car, he then opened the rear passenger door, “Master, get up. We are bad luck,” he said while shaking Veon's body.

Veon who felt a touch on his body began to open his eyes slowly, “what is it, Zak? I'm still so sleepy this,” his nagging.

“Sorry, Sir. Did you forget your purpose here?”

Veon blinked his eyes many times, trying to collect all his life again, “what is Kania out of his house?” tanyanya.

Zaki shook his head, “I don't know, Mister. But it seems that since then no one has passed,” he said.

Veon got out of the car, and then he started walking towards the door of the house and started knocking. After a few minutes of waiting, the door did not open. Veon tried to knock on the door again, but the result remained the same, the door was not yet open.

“Master, it looks like Miss Kania is not inside.”

Veon clenched both his hands, “did he purposely avoid me? Did he know I came here to pick him up?”

“We'd better look for her, maybe Miss Kania is still around here.”

Veon remembered the restaurant that Papanya Kania told us about, “we went to the restaurant we passed,” the order.

Zaki nodded in understanding, they got into the car. Zaki starts driving his car to the restaurant Veon is referring to. It didn't take long, just a few minutes, they reached the restaurant.

Veon and Zaki stared at the restaurant. The restaurant looks crowded with visitors. They stepped into the restaurant, Veon spread his gaze through the entire room.

Both eyes of Veon saw Kania sitting in front of the cashier table, ‘so all this time he worked in this restaurant? I'm sorry baby, I've made your life suffer,’ he murmured inwardly.

That sense of regret suddenly disappeared when Veon saw a man talking to Kania and took her away from the place. Veon, curious about the man, begins to follow Kania and Rega, and Zaki follows from behind.

Veon saw Kania and Rega sitting with the dishes neatly arranged on the table. The man saw them laughing, joking. With overflowing emotions, he then stepped his feet closer to their table.

“O...so this is what you did all this time.” Veon spoke in a still mediocre tone.

Kania rounded her eyes when she saw Veon standing right beside her. But not with Rega, the man looked very confused and curious about the man.

“Sorry, who are you? Why are you interrupting our lunch?” ask Rega while frowning confused.

“You want to know who I am!” Veon then moved her legs towards the back of Kania's chair, she then bent her body and hugged Kania from behind, “aku Kania's husband. I'm the one who should ask you, who are you? Why did you have lunch with my wife?” ask with sharp eyes.

Rega's two eyes were perfectly rounded, he had not expected that this soon would meet the husband of the woman he admired so much.

“Why are you silent?” ask Veon again.

Rega silenced her smile, “so after two months, you just looked for it?” insinuations.

Veon tried to hold back his anger, let alone this in a public place, he did not want to embarrass himself as well Kania, “sayang, I came here to pick you up, let's go home,” take him in a soft voice.

Kania got rid of both arms of Veon from her body, “I don't want to go home,” refused.

Kania got up from her seat, she then moved her legs away. Veon would naturally not allow Kania to leave again. Veon followed Kania from behind, he wanted to know where Kania was going.

Rega, who wants to follow Kania, is prevented by Zaki. Zaki doesn't want anyone else to bother Veon and Kania. Rega felt very upset, but he also did not want to make a fuss at his restaurant.

When passing through a place in a sense of loneliness, Veon pulled Kania's hand, he then held it, “Kania, do not be like this, do not go again,” the door.

Kania tried not to cry, she pushed Veon's body away from her, but Veon did not change position at all and instead hugged her tightly.

“What do you want? Why are you doing all this, why?” Kania was no longer able to hold back the tears that had filled both corners of her eyes.

“What do you mean? Of course because I want to take you home. Why did you leave me? do you want to get away from me?”

“What am I going home for? You no longer need me.” Kania spoke in between her sobs.

Veon let go of his embrace, “what do you mean? Who said that? Did Bella say all that? Say!” yells.

“Bella.. I can't even forget that name.”

Veon clasped Kania's hand, “if it's about Bella, I can clear everything. It's not like you think, me and Bella.”.

Kania threw Veon's hand, “I don't want to hear anything about you and Bella! I don't even care if you want to marry her!” loud shouting.

“Do you believe everything Bella told you? Do you trust that rotten woman?” veon asked in a tone that began to rise.

Kania smiled cynically, “ rotten woman! Did you purposely say that just to persuade me, that I forgive you?” the question is full of emotion.

“I will explain everything, horrifying me first, I beg you,” pinta Veon with a glass.

Kania was in disbelief, a cold, haughty and obstinate man like Veon would plead to her with such a pity. Seeing those two sad eyes made Kania's heart start to melt.

Veon clasped Kania's hand and kissed her, “I know everything, why you left me. Bella lied to you, I never thought at all about leaving you and marrying Bella, it never even crossed my mind.”.

“You lied, if you don't want to marry Bella, then why did you let her stay in that house? You even often come to that house to meet him.”

“I'm sorry, because I didn't tell you about Bella right away. I didn't mean to hide that from you, I was just looking for the right time to tell you. Besides the past of me and Bella that you don't know, I'm afraid you will misunderstand later.”

Kania stepped back, “I can't believe, how could you and Bella be nothing, didn't you ever stay at that house with her?” he asked while looking into Veon's eyes.

Veon shook his head, “I have never stayed in that house, if you don't believe me, you can ask that Zaki, because every time I see Bella, she is always with me, her martial”.

“Me and Bella have nothing to do especially after she left me, it was even before I knew you.”

“Long!” yell Kania loud.

“I didn't lie, even I already kicked Bella out of that house.”

Kania rounded her eyes, “what? you drove out Bella?” tanyanya did not believe.

Veon nodded his head, “I kicked him out after I found out, he was the one who made you leave me.” the man then clasped Kania's hand, and he was the one who left me, “there's one more thing I want to say to you,”.

“What?” Kania spoke with her lips pursed.

Veon smiled, she was very anxious when she saw Kania pursing her lips. It was very desirable that he devoured those thin lips, but he tried to restrain himself, “Kania, I.I..” The man cursed inwardly, only this time did he feel this lump in front of Kania.

“What? me what?” kania urged.

“Em..aku..”.

Kania began to feel annoyed, “if you do not also say what you want to say, I go!” threaten her.

“Wait..I also don't know why I could be this big, but I'll say it.” Veon crouched down in front of Kania, making Kania round her eyes, “Kania, I'm sorry if all this time I've hurt you so much. I know it's too late, but I don't care. Maybe this will look very silly, at my age who is no longer young, I say all this, but I don't care.”

“Actually what do you want to say anyway!” Kania is running out of patience.

“Kania, as long as you know, I have never considered our marriage to be a charade. When I said that qobul Ijab, I promised to keep this marriage going, and I never thought about ending it. Maybe my attitude has been too late, I'm sorry for all that. But now I've realized everything.” Veon kissed Kania's hand, “ as you left me, I just realized how much you were precious to me. I can't live without you, half my life seems to go with you.”

Kania did not expect to hear all of this from Veon's mouth, “what did all this mean? Do you want to play me again?” ask him with both corners of the eyes that began to fill with tears.

Veon shook his head, “I did this because I want you to continue with me,”.

“But why? Don't you love me? You married me just because of forced.”

“We got married because we had to, but that was it. I love you, I love you so much. You want to go back home with me? the house feels lonely when you leave,” pinta Veon with the look of his own eyes.

“So what did you say?” Kania wanted to confirm it once again, she was scared, she misheard.

Veon stood up, he then hugged Kania very tightly, “I love you, very...love you very much, dear.” The man spoke very well.

Kania looked up at the handsome face of her husband who she misses so much, “what am I dreaming?” he asked with tears that began to drip from both corners of his eyes.

Veon shook his head, “this is not a dream baby, I love you, I am yours completely, I will never leave you.” The man then buried his lips on those thin lips, gently frowning them.

Kania linked her fingers behind Veon's neck, replying to the pangutan, channeling the longing she had endured all this time. Veon hugged Kania's body tightly, deepened her kiss, savoring the opium she so longed for.

“I love you, Veon, love you so much, don't go, don't leave me.” Kania spoke with his hunting breath.

Veon kissed Kania's forehead, “I won't go, because I can't live without you,” he said.
