Two Men

Kania's two pretty eyes were perfectly rounded when she heard that. "Why do you talk like that?" The woman asked back.

Mr. Kemal looked up at the night sky, so sweet. "Sometimes something that is done because it is forced can bring two things. One, the habituation that eventually leads to acceptance well. Second, the inner torture that has no end."

Kania was surprised again. Could it? 

"Sometimes, what you take for granted hurts others. You must have understood because you're an adult." Mr. Kemal does not need to explain in more detail, he believes his son understands the direction of their conversation. "Rather than the longer you walk with your legs full of wounds, shouldn't you stop?" 

Kania speechless. Apparently, this thought is not wrong. But the question is, where does the father know? 

"Maybe right now in your mind there are a lot of questions, one of which is why you talk like this?" Mr. Kemal took a deep breath. Exhales slowly. "The day you spoke your feelings to Radit, that's when I found out."

Kania became quiet.

"As a father, maybe a little hurt. But, you are the daughter of Father whom I know the most about her nature. Where you fight the world more often than you ask for help. You feel like you're the first girl who's supposed to protect your family. I'm proud, to be honest. But, Dad's hurt too."

Kania. "Dad, sorry." There are no more lies to hide.

Unknowingly in the doorway Bu Lala listened quietly. Sure, if what the Husband is talking about is the best for now. Choosing to remain silent is what should be done.

Kania did not dare to look her father in the eye. Guilt is mounting. "I didn't mean to hurt Dad, but at that moment I saw Dad confused looking for an injection of funds. And, only Mas Rangga's father can help. Again, I was also faced with a difficult choice, between staying on track or letting Radit go."

Mr. Kemal several times gave a rough sigh. There was a tightness in his chest, but trying to make peace with the circumstances to keep this life going well. "Your decision must be the best you think, I understand that. But, if your decision is to be a source of hurt for yourself, I don't think it's a good one either."

"So, can you answer Dad's question." Mr. Kemal wants to immediately listen to his daughter's answer to determine the right step. "Don't waste your life on something that doesn't feel good, but that doesn't mean Dad forbid you from being a good wife. Marriage not only brings together the body, but also the heart and soul. You don't want to be tormented for a lifetime?" 

Kania did not answer. There are some of him who want to agree with the question of the Father, but there are also most of him who are opposite. Little confused. 

"If you're worried, imagine your husband's face now. Imagine him working day and night, imagine what his attitude has been like all this time. After that, you'll find the answer."

Mr. Kemal gave a way for Kania to find answers quickly. And, it turns out this was done Kania. Within minutes of imagining Rangga, pulling his soul together in order to fuse with the man's name. 

"You have the best answer?" Mr. Kemal turned to Kania, smiling sweetly so that the Son could relax. "Dad, sure in the bottom of your heart there is the most correct and honest answer. Is that right, isn't it?" 

Kania was silent for a few seconds, then nodded slowly with the sweetest smile. With that alone, Mr. Kemal can guess Kania's answer without the need to hear.

***

Rangga stayed at the hotel while in the neighboring city. Every day meet some people who will be his client, thus creating a sense of fatigue. The man lay down on the bed in a full suit. Not even a shower yet. 

The man closed his eyes. Feel the atmosphere around and it is not as warm as in his room. "But Kania can be said to be a woman with a death kick when sleeping, but the room feels more different. It's quiet here, but it's quiet too."

Unconsciously longing has been lodged in the heart, just a few hours apart. The man tilted his body to the right, to the left, trying to find a comfortable position. "Indeed, the most comfortable place is home." Finally Rangga woke up, stared at the car keys and grabbed him quickly. Get out of the hotel room and out of nowhere.
