The Azkia Wound Flakes
Guests are not invited

Nicolas is stunned by what Ardila said on the phone. This time, Ardila sounded emotional, not as usual. Nicolas thought there were other talks with Azkia besides the one Ardila mentioned. Otherwise, Ardila would not have been such an emotional tone. 

But there's a point to what Ardila said. Maybe he should try even harder if he still wants to be with Azkia. 

But why was the love in his heart not burning like it used to be for Azkia? Does he want to approach Azkia because he really still likes her or because of her guilt all this time?

****

Kevin went straight home as soon as he delivered Azkia. Azkia was a bit tired today and wanted to rest soon. Kevin understood and he didn't ask much. Azkia sometimes feels guilty with Kevin, besides Kevin has never demanded much Azkia, making Azkia quite comfortable next to Kevin. 

Azkia went straight into her room, laying down on the bed. Today feels long and he has confessed to Ardila about Kean.

Tok..

Seruni opens the door to Azkia's room and finds Azkia sleeping on her bed. 

"Sister." call Seruni closer to his steps and join the fall beside Azkia. 

"Yes, Run." 

Seruni brought a white envelope and she would give it to Azkia.

"It." Seruni thrust the white envelope at Azkia. 

"What's this?" 

"Yesterday, before coming back here, Kean nitipin was just like me. He said it was for my brother." 

Azkia immediately sat down and slowly opened the envelope from Kean. He felt himself charged again after hearing Seruni tell him about Kean. 

"That's Kean's report yesterday. He said he did not want to waste the money you sent to Kediri. He wants to give the best results and so that every money you send to Kediri there is a result" said Seruni. 

Azkia was very happy with what Seruni had said. Hearing stories about Kean always made her feel proud. 

"As long as I was there, Kean's attitude always gave me goosebumps" said Seruni. 

"Why?" tanya Azkia was curious about Seruni. 

"Where there is, Brother, today's children are really thinking about their education especially if there are gadgets. Kean is also really polite. Not even if he speaks in a high tone and is always soft when he speaks." 

Azkia smiled happily hearing the story from Seruni. 

"Sometimes I'd say if Kean went to Jakarta and lived here..." 

Seruni immediately noticed the change in face of Azkia who suddenly felt sad. 

"Sorry, brother, I don't mean..."

"I understand, Run.." replied Azkia. 

"Who isn't happy with a kid like Kean. Trying to return the favor by not disappointing me, polite, smart, smart. Who doesn't like a kid like that. Surely everyone likes." continued Azkia.

"But we gave it to Bulik Sri. Where could we have come - asked for it? Kean is already big. What if he hurts me and doesn't want to see me again? I don't want to be greedy, Run. Like this is enough for me." Azkia said sadly. He shed his tears and Azkia wiped them away. 

"Yes, Brother. I understand it." 

Seruni didn't say much. He simply stroked Azkia's back with sadness and pride. Azkia was always heartened to accept this situation even though sometimes she cried all night because she missed Kean.

Kevin just got to his apartment. He was tired and wanted to rest quickly. But he saw an unusual sight as he was about to enter his apartment. 

"Diana?" 

Diana smiled and waved her hand towards Kevin. 

"Hi, Kevin!" 

"What are you doing here?" Kevin immediately pressed the post-code of his apartment but he made sure first that Diana did not see the number being pressed. 

Kevin opens the apartment door and enters followed by Diana. 

"It's night. Why are you in the night people's place - gini night?" said Kevin put his suit on the chair. 

"Wow. You are neat to stay here too." Diana commented. 

"What are we doing here, Diana?" kevin sat on the sofa. Diana sat down on the sofa before Kevin invited her. 

"Geez, since I came here I haven't talked to you. I just want to have a chat. Do you just want to talk about work now?" diana asked and opened the bottle. 

"Yes. What do you want to obrolin?" kevin said lazily. 

"You look different now, Kev. In the past, if I came to your house, you always provided whatever was in your house. Now you just give me water?" diana was disappointed. 

"I just have that. I didn't know you were coming anyway so I didn't buy anything." Kevin replied nonchalantly. 

"So, what about your subordinate named Azkia? What do you know about his family?" diana asked directly to switch the conversation. 

As expected of Diana. Kevin glanced at Diana. Diana smiled at Kevin's reaction. 

"It's really my guess. You fell in love with Azkia. I'm never wrong." 

Kevin closed the bottle and put it on the table. 

"Why then, Di? Can't I like people?" 

Initially, Diana wanted to catch Kevin and make Kevin misbehave with his guess. But now, Kevin's reaction was unexpected. 

"Oh. It's okay if you like it. No one forbids." replied Diana who now so turned her wrong behavior. 

"You don't bother - bother Azkia yes, Di. If until I find out you're bothering Azkia, you're gone" Kevin said, warning Diana. 

"Disturb what you mean?" diana said she was getting upset that Kevin was defending the woman. 

"Since in London, I've liked any girl, you've been trying to vilify that girl until I broke up with her. Don't you think your attitude makes me comfortable, Di. You could be a good pretender but you're not." 

"What do you mean good-ass?"

"You always tell the bad girl I like. You find out the girl's background and discover her weaknesses. Remember yes, Di. Whoever I am in a relationship with, it's my business with the woman I choose. You don't have to interfere" Kevin said at length. 

Diana could not say - words. He felt weak if Kevin had spoken like that. 

"I didn't find out about Azkia" Diana replied, revealing her own secret. 

"I'm not saying you found out about Azkia." said Kevin, now he knows Diana's plan.

Diana remained silent. 

"Go home, Di. I want a break." 

Kevin leaned his body on the sofa. Today was tired and meeting Diana was something wrong for her. 

Diana got up from her seat and walked out of Kevin's apartment. 

After entering her car in the basement, Diana hit the wheel of the car with a shout. 

"Y!! Keviai! Always and always! Why can't she ever like me a little!" 

Diana turned on the engine of the car and immediately stepped on the accelerator.

Nicolas tried to follow Ardila's advice. He will start slowly to contact Azkia. He didn't call her or go to Azkia's house like yesterday. Nicolas tried to think calmly, unhurriedly and started slowly. 

Hi, Ki. How's it going?| 

Nicolas tries to type a short message but he deletes it again. 

What are you doing, Ki?| 

Several times he tried to open a conversation with Azkia. He was always nervous. 

Already sleeping?| 

Nicolas scratched his non-itchy head. Feeling upset with yourself who can't behave like a man in general. 

He throws his hape into the bed and accidentally pressurizes his hape screen "send" the message to Azkia.
