The One Night Stand
Feel Guilty

Kevin stared at the television screen with a blank look. Sometimes work gets disrupted due to its unfocused.

Kevin cursed himself, Kara.. Kara's... Kara is always in her mind and heart.

Kara's getting harder to find. Both in the office, and in the apartment. Kevin remembered Andy's words.. Yep... Cindy.

Kevin called his house immediately.

"Hallo, with the Johnson family residence here!" there was Cindy's crisp voice across.

"Callo.." Kevin tries to string the words together to tell Cindy everything.

"Kevin?" Cindy recognized his voice.

"Yes, it's me."

"Oh, what's wrong? Want to talk to Brian? I'll call you in a minute,"

"Cindy...!" Cindy was silent, as Kevin called out to her.

Silent moment....

"Cindy, I want to talk to you."

"What about Brother?" Cindy started to get curious.

"Kara." Cindy was silent as Kevin called out the name, curiosity tucked into her chest, yet she was afraid of offending Kevin.

"Why Kara?" Cindy started to get curious.

"He never told you about me?" kevin asked in surprise because he thought Kara had told him about her relationship with Kara.

"About what?" Cindy was silent for a moment.

"Wait on! Don't tell me if you've been in contact all this time, and I didn't know!"

"Yes." Yeah." Kevin's short answer made Cindy close her mouth with her hand.

"Kevin! Is this serious? Since when? Why is Kara keeping it a secret?"

Being flocked with so many questions Kevin just laughed.

"It's not funny Kev! Please tell me the full story!"

Kevin recounts the beginning of his meeting with Kara, then his introduction while in Washington, to the problems he faces today, the misunderstanding that occurred between him and Kara, and Kara is difficult to contact, he said, but Kevin did not tell about the incident of the night while sleeping with Kara. Kevin wants to explain everything to Kara, but Kara doesn't want to see him or listen to him.

That's why he called Cindy this time as Andy suggested.

Cindy was surprised to find out.

"Please come! Tell me more fully! The phone seems less like me!"

"Yes, this weekend I'm going home, see grandma too."

"All right, Brother! See you at the weekend!"

Kevin hung up his phone, there was relief radiating on his face. She stared at the photo of Kara taken in silence while Kara was at Uncle Marco's restaurant. Kara who smiles with unraveling hair. So pretty! Kevin misses Kara.

Kevin heads to the nursing home where his grandmother lives, visiting him for a while.

"Grandma really likes this cake!" Grandma opened a parcel containing waffles and pancakes from Kara's tavern. Grandma looked at Kevin, "What's up Kevin? Your face looks gloomy and uninspired?" Grandma can read Kevin's heartbreak.

Kevin looked at Grandma and smiled, "Grandmother, remember Josh's girlfriend?" grandma remembers.

"Yes, that's beautiful! Grandma always prays you get a girl like that. Have you found?" asked grandma with teasing eyes Kevin.

"I'm close to him now." Kevin's reply surprised Grandma. Grandma touched Kevin's face with both hands, "Pursue him My granddaughter, don't ever think if it's the wrong thing. Everyone deserves their happiness. Kara's a good woman. Grandma knew that, since the first time I met." Grandma still remembers Kara, during Brian and Cindy's wedding, Kara was the first one she knew. Grandma was very impressed with him.

About an hour Kevin visited and accompanied grandma chatting, finally he said he was going home.

Kevin turned the vehicle into the cemetery where his parents were buried.

Kevin put flowers on his mother's father's belly button, prayed for a moment, then walked to his car. Kevin stared at one grave not far from where his parents were, walking there.

"Josh, I promise I'll take care of her. I love him Josh!" Kevin placed a flower on top of Josh's belly button, then passed it to go home.

Arriving home, Cindy had greeted impatiently, Brian accompanying her behind. Kevin hugged his brother-in-law, then Brian, his sister.

Cindy grabbed Kevin's arm and let him in, Brian let her, shaking his head at his wife's behavior.

"Sit Brother! Here I have prepared food and drink," Cindy guided Kevin to sit in the dining chair, at the meal there was food and various snacks made by Cindy.

"Gosh, are you guys going to have a party today?" Kevin was surprised to see a table full of food.

"This is Cindy's daily activities, she tried many recipes, and uploaded on Youtube." Brian explains Cindy's activities.

"Enough with my story, now tell me your story with Kara?" Cindy sat in front of Kevin, crossed her hands on her chest.

"What's going on between you and Kara?" Brian stood by Cindy's side looking at Kevin full of probes.

"Oh my God, has it been since that time? You really slept with her, Kev?" Brian held his head in surprise at his own guess.

"You slept with Kara? When?" Cindy looked at Kevin.

Kevin could only remain silent, cornered by the couple's gaze before him.

"Yes, I didn't have anything with Kara at first, but somehow since that day she's been on my mind."

Kevin sighed for a moment, then continued the story, until the meeting with Stella, which Kara accidentally saw, making them misunderstand. Kara is difficult to contact, always busy, or deliberately does not want to meet him.

Cindy is concerned to hear Kevin's story, she holds Kevin's hand when she hears Kevin telling her story. Kevin told Cindy everything, feeling very relieved after saying everything that happened to Kara's cousin.

"Then why is Stella looking for you? After Josh died, he was looking for you to take responsibility for things you didn't do?" Brian asked in a tinge.

"No Brian, Stella's not like that. She's suffered enough, I've forgiven her, but I'll never go back to her."

"Wait on! Josh's? Is Josh Kara's fiancee? What the hell is going on?" Cindy is confused because Brian looks more emotional than Kevin.

"Brian, enough! Let me explain to Cindy!"

Kevin turned around to hold Cindy's hand, "Stella was my boyfriend back then, and Josh was my best friend from childhood. I dated Stella from High School to college. At that time I promised to accompany him to his friend's birthday party, but Kenny was having problems and I chose to accompany Kenny, Stella was angry because I broke the promise not to come." Kevin breathed for a moment.

"That night at Stella's birthday party met Josh, they drank too much, they slept together." Kevin fell silent.

Cindy was silent a thousand words. She doesn't know how to tell Kara everything.

"Let me explain to Kara." Kevin seemed to know what Cindy was thinking.

That night, Kevin, Brian, and Cindy had a chat.
