THE STAIN OF THE PAST
Chapter 5. First Meeting

Everyone wants happiness and no one wants pain, but you can't have a rainbow without a little rain. Be strong now because things are going to get better. It may be stormy right now, but it can't rain forever. To get a rainbow you have to go through the rain, but to get true love you have to go through the pain.

Kania came home by taxi. The rain again poured down on the earth. Kania's tears can't be contained anymore. Although in front of Adit and Ira he looked tough, actually his heart screamed.

"Will these stains of my past continue to haunt and follow wherever I go? Do I have to leave this new company again? I'm sure Ratih and the others left me because they knew my perverted video. I don't blame them. Maybe if I were them, I'd do the same thing" Kania murmured to herself.

Kania is determined to face everything, because it is indeed his fault that is so stupid to believe in Adit's nonsense. Kania just wishes there were no more Adit victims. Enough of him to be a victim of the depravity of the man.

Kos Kania is located in a narrow alley so that taxis cannot enter. Kania asks the taxi driver to stop on the highway ahead of his boarding alley.

"I'll just get down here, sir."

"Good, Non." The driver stopped the car. Kania gives the fare according to the tariff and is exaggerated dikit.

"Return, Nope!" said taxi driver.

"Take it for you. Thank you!" Kania.

Lucky Kania always carry an umbrella, because of the rainy season that often occurs in this month. Kania walked slowly towards the alley. When going into the alley Kania see someone who is rained.

Initially Kania ignored. However, Kania saw that person was in confusion. Looks like the car is in trouble again. Kania tried to approach.

When Kania was right in front of the man, she was shocked because it turned out to be a handsome young man. The man smiled towards Kania.

"Can I help you?" ask Kania.

"My car broke. I looked for a cell phone, apparently left in the office. Can I borrow your phone to contact my subscription shop?" ask the man.

"Of course you can!" Kania reached into the cell phone from inside her bag and gave it to the man.

"I'll borrow it for a minute!" said the man. He dialed the number and called someone. Kania was still standing with her umbrella.

After contacting his subscription workshop the man returned Kania's phone.

"thank you. Your help will not be forgotten." The man handed over Kania's phone.

"My name is Athalla. Can I know whose name you are?" the man asked her, her name was Athalla.

"I'm Kania."

"Thank you, Kania."

"Sorry, I have to be quiet. You better wait in the car. Your clothes are soaking wet."

"Yes, Kania."

Kania left and went from the front of Athalla to the boarding alley where he lived. The man looked at Kania until it was lost from sight.

In the morning, Kania left for work as usual. After breakfast with an omelet, Kania walked towards the end of the alley. With a definite step Kania walked.

Kania has been determined to face everything with a chest. Not all because of his mistakes and stupidity.

Why can believe and want to give the only valuable possession of him. Kania waited for the ojek that passed in front of the alley.

"Kania .." call someone. Kania searched for the origin of the voice and saw a man she had just met yesterday. Kania smiled at the man named Athalla.

"You want to work?" ask Athalla.

"Yes. You why are here. Is the car any more damage?" ask Kania. The woman was astonished because so early Athalla had been at the end of the boarding alley herself.

"I was waiting for you on purpose."

"waiting me? Why?" ask Kania in shock.

"I haven't thanked you yet. Your help yesterday was very meaningful. If you don't lend me the short, maybe I can until morning I'm still here!" Athalla.

"Now you are here in the morning!" kania joked.

"Different, this is me deliberately as this morning came. I'd like to take you to breakfast!"

Kania looked at Athalla with a twitching forehead. This guy wants to take him to breakfast, but they just know. If the reason is to thank you, Kania feels unnecessary.

Athalla looked at Kania with a smile waiting for the woman's answer. Akhmar Nizama Athalla. A handsome young man, also a young businessman who came from a religious family.

Because his religious family made Athalla never close to any woman. All of his brothers married because of questions.

"Sorry, what am I supposed to call you?" ask Kania again.

"As far as you. Which one is good in your opinion. You can name it, you can mas, brother or sister."

"I'll call you."

"Can. What if we had breakfast together to get to know each other."

"But I can't, Mom. I'm afraid late. I could be fired later. Ten days of work are late. Was there an announcement yesterday if today my office had the arrival of a new leader. Fear fiercely!" Kania.

"Oh, that's it. But next time you'll want'kan if we have breakfast or dinner together maybe?" ask Athalla.

"Could only. No one is angry!" Kania.

"No one will be angry. Then you promise?" Kania raised her pinky promise sign.

"I'm saying goodbye, Mas. That's my subscription ojek. See you!"

"Can I have your phone number?"

"Of course," said Kania mentioned a series of numbers of his mobile number. After that, Kania said goodbye because his subscription ojek has come.
