THE STAIN OF THE PAST
Chapters 17. Day Together.

Kania released Athalla's embrace which was so tight on her body. Kania smiled, afraid Athalla thought otherwise.

"Mas, I'd better get in. Must be tired and sleepy. After the loss of sleepiness, Mas should go home, Iatresat. The eyes are red, resist sleepiness!"

Without answering Kania's words, Athalla went into Kania's room. The woman felt bad to see Athalla whose superior was just sitting on the floor.

"Sorry, Mas. Must sit on the floor. I don't have a sofa. Is that okay?"

"Don't you think so, Kania. I'm not sitting like this."

"I'll make some warm tea first."

Kania boarding room consists of only a small living room, one room and a small kitchen.

Kania put a cup of tea in front of Athalla, and took the biscuits that used to make snacks for him.

"Mas ... drink! Once you feel good, you can go home!" Kania.

"You kicked me out?" ask Athalla.

"I'm not throwing you out, Mom. You need a break. Look at your current condition. You look so tired."

"Then borrow a pillow. I'm gonna take a little nap. After my sleepiness is gone, we go our way."

"But ... My mother!"

"So you're kicking me out?" ask Athalla again.

Kania took her breath. Can't believe a smart CEO could do something stupid like this. Kania smiled, and took a pillow. The floor, which is only a thin carpet, becomes the bed of a CEO.

After giving Athalla a pillow, the man immediately laid his body and drowsiness made him close his eyes.

Kania who saw the man fall asleep, got out of the boarding house and went to the nearest stall. Buy vegetables pay, and chili and chicken are just a piece.

Kania cooks to eat Athalla. He looked at Athalla's calm face as he fell asleep. So good-looking. Her mother did not approve of their relationship. His son could definitely search far more than Kania. The woman asks what makes an Athalla love her.

After all the cooking and preparation, Kania woke up Athalla. Shaking his body slowly.

"Mas, awake!" Several times calling out finally Athalla opened her eyes and smiled looking at Kania. Athalla looked around. He immediately got up and sat down.

"I overslept? How long have I been asleep? It's really good to sleep. Yanky!" Athalla.

Kania smiled, how is it possible to sleep on the floor in say nice and comfortable.

"Mas can be. The eyes are sleepy. So sleeping anywhere must be good."

"But I feel comfortable. Maybe because I'm with you!" athalla said slowly.

"Mas can also be dreadful. Now wash your face. After that eat. I've been cooking. The bathroom is on the left. Understand bathroom room boarding. As if."

Athalla wakes up and shuffles Kania's hair before making her way to the kitchen. The bathroom is next to the kitchen. After washing his face, Athalla looked fresher. He sat back down. Saw has available side dishes and rice.

Kania cooking clear spinach, fried chicken, tempe fried and sambal terasi. Kania. By carrying a pack of crackers. Turns out the woman went out to buy crackers at the stall.

"Eat, Mother! Presumably. I can only cook it, Mas!" Kania. He sat in front of Athalla and took the man some rice and his side dishes.

Two rice dishes at Athalla. He changed his seat leaning against Kania's boarding wall. The door is deliberately open wide so that there is no slander.

Kania cleaned up all the leftovers. Put it in the kitchen. Kania sat in front of Athalla.

"It tastes good. I ate a lot!"

"Not my cooking is good but it's all because of the hungry Mas!" kania laughed.

"But it's delicious, Kania. I never eat that much. What else is ten in the morning like this."

"But because I'm hungry!" kania laughed. Athalla also followed laughing to see Kania who could laugh freely, her heart was happy.

"Mas, can I ask you something?" ask Kania. His face looked serious.

"Don't ask one, a thousand questions!" reply Athalla.

"Mas .. I'm serious!"

"I'm serious too, Kania. You can ask as many questions as you can. I'll answer it."

"Mas, how can you say like, even though we have only one month of acquaintance. After all, many women are more than me and will definitely chase after you!"

"Kania, Love is not about how many days, weeks, or months you have been together. It's all about how much you love each other every day. Love is not an alarm clock. You can't make it ring at any given time when it's appropriate and convenient. Love can only be present between two people until it is time."

"But it doesn't make sense if you suddenly like me. There are still a lot of women out there who have an advantage that you want. Why me?"

"Love is not about finding the perfect person. It's about realizing that imperfect people can make you perfect."

"Mas, you don't know who I am yet. My past is so ugly. I'm afraid you'll regret it after knowing everything. Before we go any further I want Mas to know everything."

"From the beginning I told you that I don't care about your past. We live for the future. Every human being has flaws and sins. I like you for who you are. The first time I saw you, I knew it was true. That I will love you forever and that's what I will do. Love is when you look someone in the eye and see everything you need."

Kania could not answer what Athalla said. Actually, Kania also has a feeling of liking. However, he realized that the difference between him and Athalla was so far away. So Kania tried to bury deep in his feelings of joy.

Athalla clasped Kania's hand while looking at her face. "Kania, I love you. I want us to have a relationship. I want us to share our feelings."

"I feel unworthy of you, Mom. You and I are like the earth and the sky. We're so much different. What else is my past, making me not confident!"

"Love does not mean loving someone who is perfect but how to love someone who is not perfect in a perfect way. Love does not look at matter and difference. But a fight to defend."

"Do I deserve to be with you, Mom?"

"God never wrongly gives the gift of love to His servant, because a love that comes there must be a meaning and a reason. If you also have the same feelings, we can start this relationship by getting to know each other more closely."

"Alright, Mas. You and I will try to have this relationship. Although I realize for sure the relationship we will establish will not be easy. There's gonna be a lot of opposition, especially from your family, Mas."

"The two of us will fight together" Athalla said with a smile.
