THE STAIN OF THE PAST
Chapter 53. Kania and Syafa.

Athalla made a hasty walk in the hospital hallway after listening to an excuse from Anggara to postpone their meeting schedule.

When Athalla will take Syafa home, he again contacted Anggara who apologized for having to postpone the meeting for their company cooperation.

Athalla tried to figure out why. The man was afraid of the reason for the cancellation of the meeting because Kania did not want to see him again. Athalla has learned that Kania is Anggara's best friend.

When Anggara said the reason was because Kania was sick, Athalla immediately turned towards the hospital accompanied by Syafa.

Without knocking Athalla into the space Anggara said. As she opened the door, Athalla saw her lover lying weakly with an infusion needle in hand.

Anggara who was reading an online novel by Mama Reni titled FRIEND BED FRIEND MY MOTHER'S BEST FRIEND on her mobile phone, was shocked to hear someone open the door by force.

Athalla went straight to bed without greeting Anggara. The feeling of panic made him ignore Anggara who was waiting for Kania.

Shamelessly and unashamedly with Anggara and Syafa, Athalla hugged and kissed Kania's cheeks. Sensing the wet lips that were sticking to her cheeks, Kania opened her eyes. Kania rubbed her eyes at Athalla. The woman thought it must be all a dream.

Kania closed her eyes again, as she still thought all of this was just a dream. Athalla sat by the bed and held Kania's hand.

"Darling, what are you sick with? I'm really worried" Athalla said.

Hearing Athalla's voice, Kania opened her eyes again. Kania raised her hand and rubbed Athalla's cheek to make sure if this was real or just an illusion.

Athalla grabbed Kania's hand and kissed her. Only then did Kania realize that this was real. Not just an illusion.

"Mas, am I not dreaming?" asked Kania in a soft voice.

"No, Honey. I'm right here. I'll keep you until you're healed."

"Wedding Mas how? Surely he'd be hurt if he knew it was here. Go home. I can be taken care of Mr. Anggara. I don't want to misunderstand later. We talked about this, didn't we? We'd better be sincere with each other. If Masa is still here, I'll have a harder time letting go and forgetting you."

Tears began to drip from the corner of Kania's eyes. He tried to let go of Athalla's hand.

"Mas, return. As a woman I know how your fiancee would feel if she knew this time Mas was accompanying me. I learned from losing you. Don't make things harder for me. If Mas were still here. Besides, I don't want Mami to hate me even more if she finds out you're here."

"Honey, my fiancee Syafa and I will end and cancel the engagement."

"Why, Mas? I don't want Mami to think I asked you to end this."

"You don't worry. We will handle both of them. Oh yes dear, this is Syafa, the woman who was engaged to me yesterday."

Shafa who had been standing a little far away, approached Kania's bed. The woman gave a very sweet smile while extending her hand.

Kania welcomed Syafa's hand. They mentioned each other's names. Kania looked clumsy facing Syafa. Perhaps because of the current status of Syafa is Athalla's fiancee. Although earlier Athalla said if they agreed to end the engagement, but, at this time the status of the woman is still his fiancee.

"Sorry Kania. I don't know if Athalla has a boyfriend. Sorry if our engagement hurt you. If I had known from the beginning, Athalla had a lover of heart, I would have tried to resist. Maybe it's the fault of both of us who never speak from the heart of kehati," Syafa said.

Kania took a deep breath. Don't know what to say. She was afraid of all these engagement cancellations because of her. Kania does not want Syafa, forced to release their engagement bond at Athalla's request.

Kania knows how painful it is to know the person we love prefers another woman. The woman does not want to be a thorn in a relationship.

"Sir, can I ask you something?" ask Kania. Shafa replied with a nod of his head.

Anggara still sat in the same place, not wanting to interfere with the personal affairs of the three of them. Let them solve their problems.

"Is the decision to end this engagement the idea of Mas Athalla?" ask Kania.

Athalla is shocked by Kania's question but the man immediately understands what Kania means. Surely the woman he loved was thinking that Athalla asked for this engagement relationship to end.

Syafa smiled before answering Kania's question. Looks like that woman was also long ago what Kania meant. Syafa now understands why Athalla loves Kania so much. It must be because his heart is so good.

If another woman who was in the position of Kania, it must be she herself who asked Athalla to break off her lover's engagement. However, Kania releases with sincerity her betrothed lover for not wanting Athalla to go against her Mami's will.

"Kania, I know what your question means. I asked for this engagement to end because I also have a lover of heart. You don't think this is Athalla's will."

Kania breathed a sigh of relief. He did not want to be a hindrance to Athalla and Syafa's relationship. Although he loved Athalla very much, he did not want to defend Athalla at the expense of someone's heart.

"Sir, I'm just afraid that this is what Mas Athalla will and you're forced to let go. I know how it hurts to let go of the people we love."

After a long time they spoke, Syafa finally said goodbye. He's going to see his girlfriend. If he comes home it will be difficult to get out without control. Maybe today Syafa will lie to his parents. Let them think Shafa went with Athalla.

"I'm pampering. Pray I can convince my mother to accept Bang Andi. I'm still afraid that both my parents are getting more and more against our relationship after finding out I'm the one who broke this engagement."

"I wish you all the best, Ma'am. Believe that good people will be met with good people. Hopefully all your wishes can be realized" said Kania.

"Syafa, I don't know what to say. I thank you for your understanding. I also have to thank you for your sincerity to let go of this engagement without me asking. May happiness always be with you" Athalla said sincerely.

Syafa also said goodbye to Anggara before leaving the room. Anggara who felt his presence would disturb the couple came out.

"I'll also be happy. Want to breathe fresh air outside all in search of food" said Angga.

"Female, I don't know what to say. For sure I'm very grateful for what you've done for Kania."

"Look easy. That's my duty as his superior. Didn't Kania come with me. I'm responsible for what happened to him. I'm pampering. If there's any need to call me."
