The Azkia Wound Flakes
Kediri

Azkia prepares her leave to see Kean's condition. So's Kevin. He has a business outside the city. Sometimes Azkia feels very lucky side by side with Kevin. Want to ask for leave directly at approval without going through HRD. 

"Kevs. My friend wants to come. What can?" ask Azkia after Kevin gets to her house. 

"Your friend? Who?"

Then Ardila came out of Azkia's house and smiled sweetly at Kevin. For a moment, Ardila was stunned to see Kevin who was handsome, tall and also white. Ardila could not take his eyes off Kevin who was an Indonesian-English crossbreed as Azkia had told him. Azkia nudged Ardila to not be too fascinated with Kevin. 

"Oh yes. I'm Ardila. Azkia's best friend since school. If I may, I'd like to come." Ardila identified himself by extending his hand.

Kevin looks confused because Azkia did not discuss it with Kevin before. 

"You didn't tell me your friend was coming" Kevin said. 

"Yes, sorry, Kev. I forgot that Ardila also wanted to meet Kean yesterday." Then Kevin greeted Ardila's hand with a smile. 

"But I only ordered two tickets. How's it?" ask Kevin. 

"Oh, that's okay, really. I also ordered a ticket. Take a plane to Surabaya first? Maybe we will have a different seat. But as the info says, the frame remains the same." replied Ardila with a smile. 

"Yes Ardila. Don't smile - smile like that. It's normal." said Azkia commemorating Ardila who still admired Kevin's good looks. 

"It's okay. It's nothing - what. Are your things ready?" ask Kevin to Azkia. 

"Already, Kev. We're just gonna take a taxi, right?" azkia said happily. Before long, Mom came out of the house and saw Ardila and Kevin. 

"Azkia, why weren't you invited to his friends?" mother asked who was stunned to see Kevin. 

"This is Kevin's son you told me about?" ask Azkia. Azkia's face reddened with Mom's question. 

"Hello, Aunt. Introduce, I'm Kevin." said Kevin. 

"Oh yes, yes, son Kevin. You are so handsome. Are you Azkia?" ask Mom innocently. 

"Azkia hasn't told me yet, Auntie, hehehe..." Kevin glanced at Azkia with his fake smile. 

"Udah. Mom, Kia would have told you that Kia was close to Kevin." Azkia replied afraid that Kevin was thinking like that again. 

"Oah. This is Kevin who is close to Kia.. Kia.. You prepare what you want to bring including having a son Kevin yes." said Mom asked Azkia to leave him with Kevin. 

After Azkia went inside with Ardila, Mom grabbed Kevin's hand. 

"Son, you know this Azkia to Kediri wants to see who Nak is?" ask me if Kevin doesn't know about Kean. 

"Already, Aunt. It's Azkia's story. Ke Kediri wants to see his son." Kevin replied with a sincere smile. 

"Already, Aunt. Auntie doesn't have to worry. There's been talk between me and Azkia about her past. And for me, I have to be able to accept Kean. After all Azkia is his mother." said Kevin sounding sincere.

"Son. If someday you can't handle Azkia's situation, it's okay, son. Mom understands. I just hope you can really understand Azkia's situation." said Mother. 

Kevin just nodded listening to what Mom was talking about. 

"Thankful - thank God Kevin son can freely accept the shortcomings of Azkia's past. If you can't, I say it from the beginning, just let go. Rather than being a burden to you later." said Mother. Unexpectedly, Kevin clasped Azkia's hand tightly again. 

"Out of Azkia's past, Azkia was a good person, Auntie. Can manage his emotions well, not too demanding me especially Azkia is also smart to cook, Auntie. I would love to be with Azkia. Regardless of her past, Aunt. Please allow me to be the one who has always been there for Azkia, Auntie." Kevin kissed Mom's hand and asked her for her blessing. What Kevin said sounded sincere. Makes my heart feel warm. No tears fell on Mom's cheeks. 

"Thank you, son, if you think like that, you'll call me Mom, don't call Auntie" said Mother stroking Kevin's head. 

Azkia who heard Mom and Kevin talking from inside, wiped away her tears. So afraid that Mother disappointed others to have to talk like that. Azkia understood why Mom spoke so. Because when Azkia felt the pain in her heart, Mother felt the pain dozens - tens of times. Forgive Azkia, Mom. 

Azkia came out with a medium-sized suitcase and also a food box. A small bag containing a wallet and a hape had been placed on his body. 

"A ready. Let's go." Azkia said happily. Ardila also took out a medium-sized suitcase. 

"All set, Ki? The taxi's coming?" ask Mother. 

"Oh yes. Kia forgot. Yaudah Kia order the cab." Azkia immediately squeezed several options in her hape to order a taxi online. 

"Sit while you wait" said Mother and then entered the house. Ardila didn't say much because she felt sorry for Kevin. He just plays the phone while waiting for an online taxi to come. 

****

The trip was fun and smooth because Kevin did not stop paying attention to Azkia ranging from eating, drinking to carrying a suitcase. Ardila only scowled at Azkia and Kevin who were so friendly. Is it wrong for him to go with both of them at this time? If not now, when else? Still, if delayed, Azkia will still go with Kevin. 

The trip to Surabaya is only one hour by plane. Then proceed by car to Kediri. Sometimes Kevin admired his trip to Kediri and occasionally Azkia invited Kevin to eat food along the way. 

Sometimes Azkia and Ardila laughed at Kevin's reaction to tasting a pentol on the side of the road. Maybe it was because I never ate it and only tried it once. 

Not long after, we arrived in the city of Kediri. Where Kean lives, where Kean is. Azkia's heart thumped when she wanted to meet Kean. He hadn't seen her for long. 

Ardila clasped Azkia's slightly trembling hand. He felt Azkia a little uneasy meeting with Kean. 

Kevin looks at Ardila who calms Azkia, then Azkia smiles.

"Calm down, Ki. Everything will be fine." said Ardila. Soon their journey to Kean's house will be here soon. Kevin was also a little nervous. What's Kean like? How apparently? Can he balance Azkia for Kean later?

Kevin doesn't want to think much. This time quickly arrived and meeting with Kean was more important.
