Two Men
Kania is called Pak Gani

Kania sat limply in her chair. This attitude managed to attract Desi's curiosity. What the hell is going on?

"Why you?" ask Desi curiously.

Kania quiet. He keeps warm sweet tea as well as some food on the table. This incident was beyond suspicion.

Desi approached Kania by sliding a little chair towards the woman. "Hey, what's wrong with you, Nia?"

Kania flinching. Only the empty view that the woman gave. 

Obviously Desi was worried amazingly. "Nia, you're late, huh?" Wiggling Kania's left shoulder. I hope that his friend will come to his senses as soon as possible. "Istigfar, Nia."

Kania just realized. "Astag." Swipe the chest twice. Too shocked to find the news. "Sorry, Des. I forgot the pads."

Desi's no problem. He was actually worried about the state of Kania who suddenly remained silent after coming from the canteen. "Why you?"

Kania's mouth was about to open, but saw Rangga coming. Not good either. "I'm just sleepy. Forgetting to buy coffee again."

Desi clucked in annoyance. Sometimes these kania are random. Same with Adit. However, there is always something behind his attitude. Whether it's hiding sadness or problems.

"Oh, yeah, so study, right?" Desi prefers to shift the topic. I'm sure Kania isn't okay.

Kania nodded quickly. "Clear dong."

"OK." 

"But, get Adit first, yeah."

Desi's forehead was pucker. "Why? He, right, usually goes home alone?" 

"No idea. He said he wanted to be picked up."

Desi takes a glass of sweet tea at Kania's table. "Your sister's messing around sometimes, but pity too."

Kania agreed to that. He was driven mad by the teenager. "He is like that."

Rangga glanced at Kania. Sure if this time the woman hid the fantastic thing earlier from Desi. Soon enough, his girlfriend will know too.

Work time is back. All employees continue what is stopped at lunch. Kania felt the difficulty again when he finished his work. But he kept trying until he finally could.

Not long after Ganjar came. "Kania, you are called Mr. Gani to his room."

Kania flinched, including Rangga. The man's mind had already branched out to anywhere. His father moved faster.

Kania cannot refuse. "Good, sir."

Desi was worried. "Nia, you're not pa-pa, are you?"

Kania nodded quickly. "Yes, just calm down."

Rangga doesn't talk much. Take a cell phone and type a message. It was done for Kania. Because, as soon as Kania stood up, the woman's phone rang. A message came in.

Kania opened the message. Glancing at Rangga. The message contained the sentence do not be afraid is given Rangga to him. 

Kania immediately went to see Mr. Gani. No matter what happens, it stays facing.

Rangga. Sure if the news must have spread to various corners of the building including in his father's room. Hopefully not treated with crazy thoughts.

The time to come home also came. Kania had seen a lot of silence after his return from Pak Gani's room. Desi alone until worried, but Kania just smiled sweetly.

Rangga. After all the employees went home and only Kania left also herself in the room. He also approached. "My father doesn't talk weird-ane does he?'

Kania jerks. The woman was forced to cancel the plan to study because it turned out that the work had not been completed. He also asks Desi to pick up Adit. He offered his apology to his only brother.

Kania. Smile a little and say, "No. Why why?" Kania asked back.

Rangga did not believe. He was sure something was happening and Kania was hiding. "Don't be afraid to be honest."

Kania stunned. Shift the front view of the laptop and focus on working again. "Don't talk about that now. I still have a lot of work to do. Later, yeah." A little laugh came out from Kania's mouth. That's what makes Rangga not believe. "You haven't come home yet?"

"I haven't been able to go home because I'm worried about you" Rangga replied honestly. No need to cover the taste.

Kania quiet. Only his fingers continued to work from earlier. His ears were installed as well as possible in order to catch every sentence issued by Rangga's mouth. Maybe something important was discussed.

"You can go home. I don't have a problem with myself" Kania said. Not intent on expelling. It's just that his feelings aren't okay right now. Covering yourself with busy work is indeed the best thing.

Rangga respects Kania's wishes. He stood up, picked up the bag and said, "If there's anything, call me. At least I know what to behave."

Kania nodded slowly. 

"I went home first, Assalamualaikum," continued Rangga.

"Wa'alaikum greetings," answered Kania quickly.

Rangga stepped away from beside Kania. Leaving that woman who didn't seem to want to be disturbed.

After making sure Rangga does not exist. Kania hides face on the table. It feels crazy for Mr. Gani. Where possible? Even he was completely unthinkable to the point of being that greedy. 

"Astagfirullah, I must be strong. Think of it as a temptation" Kania said.

Not long ago the sound of Kania's phone rang. Apparently Radit contacted the woman on a video call. Kania quickly checked the face that was about to cry. This is not true. Don't let Radit misunderstand or worry.

Usually Radit will do that if his mother's phone can't be reached. Because, the man will not dare that crazy to Kania.

"Assalamualaikum," Kania said after picking up the phone. 

Radit is directly on the phone screen. Face's tired. Just like Kania. Also called worker. Of course it will struggle with a myriad of problems and jobs. Not to mention if you have to pursue targets or get pressure from superiors. We need a strong mental.

"Wa'alaikum salam" replied Radit.

Kania smiled a little. "What's wrong?"

"You're still in the office, huh?"

"Heem." Kania moved her head.

Radit..

"Aunty's phone isn't active, is it?" Kania asked again.

Radit nodded quickly. "Yes. From last night. I'm just worried."

Foreseeable. This Radit must have just wanted to ask his mother. "I'm still in the office. Try it later when I get home, I see home.'

Radit looked at Kania's face. Something was different as if it was holding back a cry. "Nia, you're fine, right?" 

Kania laughed a little. "I'm good, really. Kan, yesterday you saw for yourself."

Radit. Seems not to believe. He only respected the words of Kania. "Yes already, later try to see mother, yes. If you take that too."

Kania gives a thumbs up to the screen. "Sip. I'm still late."

Radit had guessed. " Yes, I still have a job. Don't forget to eat. Assalamualaikum."

"Yes. Salam wa'alaikum.'

The video call phone connection is over. Kania was silent with her phone still in her right hand. Back when I was a kid even in high school, if there was a problem Radit was always on the side. Kania felt lost after the figure moved on duty.

Cania's tears don't flow through her cheeks. There was a tightness that he felt, but needed to be restrained in order for everything to go smoothly. His calmness worked. 

The sound of footsteps approaching Kania. Rangga came and offered a white tissue and said, "I'm sorry for the unpleasant words from Dad. You must have been under pressure."

Kania raised her head. The tears were allowed to flow. No matter how Rangga's response was at the moment, he felt depressed.

"Don't mind. You can refuse. I told you not to nuisance you, but it seems like the ruler here is not listening!" furious Rangga. His left hand clenched a sign of restraining the sharply surging emotions.

Silent kania a thousand languages. Only the look in his eyes was sad and difficult to interpret. The arrival of Rangga is not only a friend enhancer for him, but also increased pressure.

"Who are those eyes?" ask Kania suddenly.
