REMEMBER ME?...
The Part 27
“Vano!” Kiara waved her hand from a distance. Vano just looked at her while raising his head slightly, hinting the girl to get close to him as they were going home together.
The girl understands. With a fluffy smile on his lips, he walked up to Vano. Her eyes grew and suddenly her hands stretched out confirming the location of her giving scarf on Vano's neck with a smile.
“Only earlier, sorry. I will no longer ask that,” Kiara said.
“Completed!” he yelled after patting his hand on Vano's scarf.
Vano. Suddenly her hand clasped Kiara's wrist which was still on the scarf around her neck. The girl fell silent and looked at Vano.
“Kia... You know? Many times I mentioned his name and over the years I felt something was lacking. And now, I just realized what I was lacking. It is incomplete to name Kiara if you do not mention your name. It was like a necessity, a habit. And now, I really hope you don't leave it again,” Brian said as they finished their coffee and were in the elevator to continue their work.
“Why?” ask Vano.
“She's a very good girl. It's hard to find a girl as good as her in this world. You should have looked after him properly. If you're not my best friend, I've called him a long time ago,” joked Brian.
“Why don't you just take it first? You don't even know how I'm—“
“I'm not that shortsighted by assuming our friendship is that shallow, you know? I appreciate you, and I appreciate Kiara.” Said Brian.
“As I said earlier, the girl still loves you. She is one type of girl who likes to show her attention to the people she loves. And that's you. Happy him, take care if he does not want to be captured by others. Only you can take care and love her, Vano.”
“A-what's up?” ask Kiar terbar. His hands were trembling while his face was blushing red. He tried to let go of his hand for fear of being seen by other staff, but Vano kept him. His sharp eyes stared at Kiara's brown bead eyes.
“Vano..,” hiss Kiara.
“I'm sorry,” murmured Vano.
“What?” asked Kiara who did not hear Vano's slow voice.
“Please, help me to remember you,” continued Vano, this time with a firm tone and clear voice.

At a five-star hotel near the beach, Bali.
Kiara could not stop smiling when she saw her reflection in the mirror. She widened the tip of her white dress, spinning, looking in the mirror. Kiara looked perfect on her engagement day. With make-up that is not excessive, a little eyeliner and mascara, blush-on, eye’s shadow, red lipstick, making Kiara look more beautiful natural appearance in a white dress. She looks beautiful like the daughter of a CEO of a company.
However, there is one more thing that makes him happy not to be upset.
“Please, help me to remember you.”
Once again, Kiara smiled when she heard those words in her mind.
He did not expect Vano to finally open up to him. He can't wait to tell Vano all their stories. That's why the smile doesn't stop expanding at the end of his lips.
A subtle knock was heard coming from the door of the room he was in. Without being told, someone opened the door then glanced into the room and smiled broadly.
“Kia, party in 5 minutes! Fighting!” said the little girl while holding one hand up.
"Yes, Cha,” reply Kiara.
" Okay, Kiara Kusuma, now you have to face your future! The fighting! Kiara's mind in the heart.

Nothing could replace that smile in Vano's eyes right now. Really, no matter when, he started to like the smile of that girl Kiara Kusuma. The sound of waves sounded earthy in the distance, followed by a strong wind. The gust made Sooji's long hair and dress flutter merrily as if dancing with the wind. The girl still extended her left hand forward, and stared at a silver ring with a tiny diamond perched sweetly on her ring finger. Seemed not so aware that his fiancee was right next to him earlier.
“Do you like it so much?” vano asked half-sniff. He placed both hands on the hotel's balcony handle while staring at the dark-looking beach below.
Kiara looked over and then hissed. “Do you still want to refuse this engagement?” Kiara asked back.
“How can I refuse it when I have even pinned the ring on your finger?” Vano.
Kiara smiled at Vano's statement.
They are back in silence enjoying the sea breeze at night. The party was going on inside, yet they preferred to escape from the crowd. I don't know what could have gotten them out of control. They are kings and queens in this event. Actually, they didn't go together. At first it was just Kiara, but then Vano followed her.
“Aaaah... I miss this place!” kiara exclaimed loudly while staring at the sea below them. He then turned quickly towards Vano. “Van, want to go to the beach?”
___
To the beach in the rainy season with clothes in the form of a suit and sleeveless dress without a coat is a bad choice. Although the sea does not freeze, but still the strong wind makes them freeze. Unlike Vano who immediately shivered as soon as they set foot on the white sand, Kiara instead looked cheerful. He ran here and there while lifting the end of his long dress to the ground. The strong wind has made Sooji's hair that was originally neatly arranged, now chaotic irregularly. Strangely, the girl still looks beautiful.
“Waaah... It's been a long time!” exclaim Kiara tight.
“Kia, what exactly are you going to do here? You're not cold? We'll just go back to the hotel, come on!” take Vano who doesn't even move from the shoreline.
Kiara, who had not heard Vano's invitation, continued to walk away from Vano and approached the sea. The girl bravely climbed onto a reef located at the end of the beach. The coral was quite high, so Kiara who had been barefoot, her heels she kept at the end of the beach, had to climb a little.
Vano widened his eyes to see the big waves that hit the rock as if he wanted to knock it down.
"Kia, dangerous, fast down!” vano exclaimed as he ran, having removed his shoes at the end of the beach approaching Kiara..
Kiara still did not hear Vano's call. He stood on the edge of the reef boldly as he spread his arms and smiled, enjoying the gusts of wind that passed him.
“Hey, Kiara kusuma!!” call Vano. He is now in the reef.
“Van, try going up here! The view is beautiful!” exciting Kiara.
“ Stupid! Don't stand on the other end like that! You can fall!” yell Vano again. He was trying to climb a rock high enough.
“Let's just relax, I won't ja—“ suddenly a sizable pound of waves hit the reef, just below Kiara's feet, he said, making the girl lose balance due to her vibration coupled with a strong enough wind. For the first time, Kiara felt fear as her body began to lean towards the sea.
Kiara closed her eyes. For a second, two seconds, why doesn't it hurt? Why not get wet? Why is there no wave that makes it tossed? When Kiara opened her eyes, she was in Vano's arms. Vano's two burly hands wrapped around her waist and hugged her tightly until her back body was attached to Vano's field chest. There was the roar of Vano's breath in his right ear that sounded panting.
“Vano... Alexander?” kiara said timidly, her chest pounding and her breath hunting.
“Do not.... ever.. do things.. like this... again,” said Vano right in Kiara's ear.
