Two Men
Crying out.

The two pairs of eyes met each other after knowing the news close together, but did not meet and did not say hello. Kania was in front of Radit, the face full of worry was still carving clearly.

"Wa'alaikum salutations." Everyone answered quickly.

Radit.

"You came alone, son?" Miss Lala said hello first. Kania approached, kissing the mother's palm. "Your husband doesn't come?"

Kania stood up straight again. "Yes, Mom. Sorry, Mas Rangga said his body was crushed. Maybe because it's too dense to work."

Ms. Lala understands. "It's okay, son. Thank you for coming all the way here. Your husband knows, right?"

Adit who was standing behind Kania only observed the back of his older sister.

"Thank God, you know, Tan." If it wasn't for Rangga allowing it, it was clear he wouldn't be here. Worry is definitely certain, but Rangga is riding the boat.

"Thank God." Bu Lala and Ms. Irma looked at each other.

Kania occasionally glanced at Radit, the man had just been silent.

"You were alone in the car, Dit?" Kania ventured to ask, however they were childhood friends. It has long been a part of life and is like a family.

"Yes, it just so happens that I haven't picked up Gendis yet" Radit replied quickly.

Kania stunned.

"Sir Gendis said he wanted to see the rented house, which belonged to Mr. Ilham. Well, because Nak Gendis does not know the road and the area here. Radit will pick me up." Ms. Irma explained in more detail the chronology of her son's speech.

Adit noticed Radit's face. The boy then went out after feeling enough, sitting next to his father without a word.

Meanwhile, Ms. Lala continues to tell how Radit was after the accident was found an hour ago. Kania listened pretty well.

"Mom, go to the toilet for a second, yeah." Lala's mom said goodbye to her son. Only Ms. Irma, Radit and Kania live.

"Tante, almost fainted after hearing this bad news. Thankfully, Radit didn't take another life." That's what Ms. Irma is grateful for, at least there's no one else in her son's car.

Kania is grateful for the same. A few seconds later, Kania and Radit stayed with the door wide open. They were silent, there was awkwardness going on.

"Rangga, aren't you mad you came?" Radit was still curious. If he is in the position of Rangga, obviously not too like.

Kania ventured into Radit's eyes and said, "Mas Rangga told me to meet you. He said it was important."

Radit did not understand the mindset of the main director in his company. There is no such thing as jealousy or suspicion. Could it be that the man loves Kania?

"I'm grateful you're just a minor injury, at least I can be relieved." Kania thanked him a few times.

The atmosphere in the room turned silent. There was no more conversation between them for the next few minutes, only the atmosphere there felt more different. More sad for both.

Radit thought deeper, the atmosphere felt fitting. However, his brain thought about the impact of it. Kania himself chose silence, until Radit finally asked the question again.

"After everything that's happened, there's something I want to ask you about and make sure of you. But, I hope this does not make our friendship so tenuous. All this time we continue to be together, certainly understand how to make good friends," Radit added.

Kania stunned.

Radit breaths as best he can before saying this. Think again, and eventually stay the same. Should be discussed immediately. "I wasn't here to take you from Rangga. You've been bound by a sacred promise, clearly stronger than childhood friends."

Kania lowered her head, preparing to listen to whatever Radit's mouth let out. Be prepared for anything, don't fall. "What do you really want to talk about. Sorry, because I haven't seen you in a week."

Radit understands that. Their distance was indeed close, but the wall was getting higher. Obviously it will not be enough just to jump, there must be sacrifices such as breaking down forcibly. It's obviously difficult.

The heart of Kania beats faster. What's that about?

Radit strengthens the heart. "What is your reason for accepting Rangga and rejecting me? I want to hear it in person other than it might be because of fate as well."

Kania surprised. No other questions than that. It will be hard to answer.

"Jawablah, we will probably meet often in the office. In fact, even if we avoid each other. In fact, we are still colleagues in one company. And, maybe there's a phase where we're going to need each other, whether it's in a context that's not about feelings" Radit continued. As long as Kania answers, it's clear Radit must listen carefully. This was blocking his path to move forward, there was still a sense of curiosity.

Kania wavering, biting the lower lip for a bit. And, release.

Radit understands the Kania reaction. It was at this moment that the female soul was fighting with her heart voice. It's always like this.

"This conversation is only between us. I hope you don't leak it to Rangga, this could hurt his heart even deeper." Radit sat quietly, waiting for Kania's answer which still did not exist.

This was a difficult time for Kania, he found no answer but to be forced. There are things that are even difficult to say, but real in the soul.

Mr. Kemal stood up, about to meet his son with Radit. However, the middle-aged man was quite speechless in the doorway. Not not dare to approach, but as if to wait, even though he did not know before.

Kania breathed a rough sigh. As smart as he hides, he'll still be found out. Even the cunning fugitives, will be caught as well. In this world, nothing is eternal. Kania raised his head, staring deeply at both of Radit's eyeballs. This may be the last time, looking at each other is wrong. "Maybe you are one of the people who feel awkward from my marriage with Rangga. Why can I accept that man over you who I have known for a long time? All right, I'm telling you the truth."

Radit was finally able to answer the curiosity in a moment. Hopefully there will be no more shadows of the past after this, and can move forward. Hope that's what Kania did, because the woman's body language can't lie.

"I accepted it because I was forced to for the sake of family. For the sake of Daddy's company which is threatened with bankruptcy, because the parents of Ranggalah who can give a big injection of funds for the company's father." Kania explained from the beginning.

Both eyes of Mr. Kemal perfectly rounded. It was obvious that Kania said it until both ears could listen without pause.

Radit. Foreseeable.

Kania is controlling herself as best as possible. Do not shed tears, but nil. The clear liquid pushed each other until it finally came out also flooded both cheeks.

Radit's hand was held back, unable to do anything. It feels like moving, but remember where it is now.

Kania rubs slowly both cheeks. It feels claustrophobic to be remembered, but the decision has already been taken. Of course, risks must also be faced. "Mas Rangga had asked me several times about this, but I still accepted it. At that moment I realized that my feelings were there for you, Dit. And, the worse thing is that Mas Rangga knows about it."

Radit. The scenario seems to have been read by Rangga. "Then, does Rangga really love you? I mean, he didn't get married because he had to."

Kania shook his head quickly. "She fell in love at first sight and accepted me by liking you." The tightness in Kania's chest increased, he was no longer able to stem everything. "I like you, I'm going crazy looking for a way to be with you. But, circumstances forced me to accept Mas Rangga."

Mr. Kemal was silent. Didn't expect it to be like this.

Radit was quite relieved, although some crazy whispers filled the eardrum.

*Don't waste this opportunity.

He loves you too. Come on, grab him.

His heart is for you*.

Radit is all in his power to resist temptation. Expel all the crazy whispers and keep thinking clearly.

Radit carved a small smile. "Kania, I still love you anytime. I thought your marriage started with a sense of compulsion, but the rice has become porridge. We love each other, but the universe has other plans. I haven't been able to take you completely either. You are the woman who always lives in my soul."

Kania was crying. Suppose the position is not like this, want to feel more in expressing the contents of the heart. However, this is quite a relief.

"Go home and meet Rangga. He's probably waiting for you at home." Radit's smile bloomed even more on his lips, even though his heart was wounded. In this incident, both himself, Kania or Rangga were both injured. However, they need to mature themselves even better. Of course, no human being will be perfect. "I realize we're both hurt, but fate has already happened. You belong to Rangga and I have no right to take you. Moreover, what I face is not only Rangga, but also the Almighty. It's heavy."
