Two Men
Rangga waited

"Prospective husband?" Mr. Kemal was surprised not to play. No wind or rain his son said that. "Try explaining it to me."

Kania had guessed. He painstakingly explained how his relationship with Rangga was. It's a little bit of a fabrication, but for good. Doesn't matter. Just sec.

Mr. Kemal tried to digest whatever his son said, until he was at his wisest point. "If the man is good. Come to the house. Meet Dad and Mommy."

About an hour the two spoke without any obstructions. Understanding each other like a Father and Son.

***

Tomorrow too comes. Kania started to calm down. He had risen from three o'clock in the morning to pray at night to ask the Almighty for guidance on the decision he made quickly.

After the dawn prayer, Kania himself went to the kitchen. Help the Mother to cook, even if only just slicing seasoning only.

Amazingly the Kania family, they will not discuss anything at mealtime. So .... that time will only be used to glue the relationship between family members.

"Come, eat!" take Bu Lala to all family members when the wall clock shows at half-seven in the morning.

Everyone comes to the dining table. Sit in each other's place. Kania himself can calm down and joke with Adit.

"Sister, pay off, yeah. I want to ask for money to buy a dong game voucher!" adit said without hesitation.

Kania who was on the right side looked over. "In your mind it's just a voucher, huh, Dek?

"Yes, how else, brother. I haven't worked. So, my mind is just a game and a lesson." Adit casually replied.

As usual Mr. Kemal and Ms. Lala do not want to interfere as long as it is not too emergency. Both of his children were not in a big fight.

Kania sighed. "You're gonna have to learn frugally, Dek. Finding money is not easy, you know. Look at me until I'm willing to work hard to be able to school you."

Instead of getting a definite answer, Adit actually won a lecture from the Brother. 

"Yes, Brother. Say you don't want to give. Brother Radit, make me your sister." Adit acted like he was the one who got hurt.

Kania clucked in annoyance. Adit's behavior always makes him upset, but also sometimes invites laughter. This is what it feels like to have a brother. Full of sour, sweet and bitter stories. Mix it into one.

"Sana went to Radit in Bandung. Just get out of the family card." Kania said so sadly.

Sad adit. Looking at his parents with sadness. "Dad, Mother, will you knock me off the family card too?" 

Not to answer, Lala laughed. "Already, already. You guys have bad luck later. Quickly finish breakfast and leave."

Both of his sons according. Breakfast went well and finished at the same pace.

Adit and Mr. Kemal have left first because the distance is both quite far, while Kania himself still helps his mother bring dirty dishes to the kitchen.

"Here you go, you better go. If you get bad luck, you will be fined" said Bu Lala, laughing.

"Mother could have been. I'm leaving, yeah. Assalamualaikum." Kania kissed the Mother's palm and left immediately.

"Wa'alaikum greetings" replied Ms. Lala.

Kania immediately left by private car. This morning his feelings improved, even though there was still no trust in the decision he took yesterday.

On the way a message came in from Rangga. The man sent me a photo downstairs from the company where Kania worked with the caption 'I'm waiting for you' it felt so awkward to get such a relaxing message.

Kania didn't reply. He drove again to the office. Today Desi must have asked a lot about yesterday. Hopefully the question isn't too complicated.

Ten minutes later Kania arrived at the office. Park the car as usual and get out while carrying a bag. This time his steps were a little hesitant with thoughts drifting. Could it be that Rangga was still downstairs waiting for him?

Just about to approach the main door, Desi's voice greeted Kania's ears.

"Nia, wait!" Desi screamed until several pairs of eyes noticed Kania.

Desi approaching. Kania looked at him sharply. "You don't make noise! Shame on people." The other view is getting stronger. As if this Kania is an easy target that can be used as lunch food.

Kania was completely unconscious. He stepped carefully with a raging feeling.

"We're in, yuk!" Desi grabbed Kania's right arm. Bring the woman into the building.

When both of Kania's legs are downstairs. He was immediately treated to the view of Rangga's face. Justright. The man was still waiting for him. Kania. 

"Good morning, Rangga," said Desi.

Kania smiled a little.

Rangga glanced at Kania. "Good morning."

"Tumben this hour is already in the office?" The watch in Desi's hand was at number seven past forty-three minutes. There are only seventeen minutes left to enter. Usually Rangga enter in the final minutes.

He stood in front of the elevator. Waiting together.

"While you want to," answered Rangga haphazardly. Kania didn't see it at all. Maybe angry, but not Rangga who forced. It was precisely the woman who remained in her stance. 

Open elevator. They entered with two other employees. However, Desi left something in the car. He's out again. 

The elevator goes to the next floor. Two employees came out. Now there are only Kania and Rangga. The mood was quiet.

"You're calm?" Rangga started a conversation between them. Glancing at Kania. "I'm worried because you didn't answer my message."

I don't know which message Rangga is referring to. The man did not explain in detail.

"I'm good," Kania replied quickly 

Rangga felt a drastic change in the way he spoke as well as Kania's gaze. It might be angry, but he had already warned Kania about this. 

"There's still time to change your decision. My father and I haven't come yet" Rangga said. Convinced that one's feelings can't be changed as fast as lightning.

Loving Kania is indeed a gift for Rangga. It's just that he doesn't want to be together just because of compulsion. It can have a big impact on the development of her marriage later. It is better to let go than to hug, but be full of pain.

The elevator kept walking towards the room they wanted.

"Don't talk about what's already been decided. It's best to plan what needs to be done" Kania said.

Rangga sighed. It seems better to give up. Hard-headed Kania difficult to weaken. "You're like this, aren't you?" 

Kania immediately looked. "You mean?" 

The elevator stopped on the fourth floor and stopped. "Always be firm on stance. Good though. That means I have to be the same."

They're getting off the elevator. Standing in front of him. Thankfully, no one was watching. 

"Because of your incredible determination I became motivated. Don't expect to run away" Rangga said.

Kania's heart is beating. He fell into the abyss and was hard to save. Even to pull over seems unable to.

Rangga smiled a little. Sweetness does look like it. "Me and Dad will be here in a few days. Maybe this weekend. Wait for me there."

Kania feels guilty. It's not a game, but a promise remains to be kept. Like, we should no longer be able to take a step back.

"My father waited," said Kania who managed to make Rangga surprised. 

"He said that a real man would come to see a woman's parents because the fact is that a woman does still belong to her parents as long as she is not married. So ... do not hesitate. Like I'm advancing without caring about the consequences" continued Kania.

Rangga. Kania turned out to be a very desirable wife. Has a strong self-strength, so it cannot be swayed by anything.

"alright. This time I went forward, but never ask me to back off again. Because you yourself are encouraging," added Rangga while walking away from Kania and towards his seat.

Both feet were shaking violently. It's hard to walk there. Want to run and scream. Forward or backward, everything hits. This may be the soul mate God chose. Best according.
