Curiosity

Kia rushed to the car park in front of the campus building. He sat behind the wheel and drove his car towards a fast food restaurant. He has an appointment with Alviano.

His footsteps echoed into the fast food restaurant in question, knowing it was still an hour away when lunch arrived. The atmosphere there is very quiet. Only a few people were eating. Kia ordered a kola and fries. He chose a seat on the second floor. It's more comfortable to talk.

Ten minutes later, Vino came to him. His face was flat as he looked at Kia, but his eyes were full of longing.

"Sister Vino all right?", asked Kia.

"Hmmm..."

"What's looking at me like that, brother?"

Vino just shook his head. His heart rumbled great. If he is not afraid of sin, he wants to embrace the beautiful body of the woman in front of him. Kissing her sweet lips is tempting. But he remembered his promise to get Zazkia the right way. No bars or sarcasm. And he was half dead controlling his heart that was starting to run wild. For months they have not met.

"Is there anything important you want to talk to me about, Kia?", asked Vino slowly.

"Yes"

"Say!"

Kia looked at Vino tightly, their two beads of eyes meeting. Talk to each other, tell stories, let go of those who are at the peak of longing.

"Relse ... "

"Hmmm..."

"I asked Brother Vino to be honest with me. Tell me what's going on. What's up, brother?"

"Don't tell me that Brother Vino doesn't understand what I'm saying. It's been more than four months now that Vino's been avoiding me. My phone, email, chat, WhatsApp all didn't respond. What's my fault with you, brother? What's the matter? What's the matter with you, brother?"

Vino looked at Kia with a sad look, his chest tightness hearing all the questions from the woman he loved so much.

"Darling ... "

Kia shifted her sitting position. More steadfast and ready to hear the answer from the man sitting in front of him.

"I just need some time. It takes time to get my heart back. To prove how much this heart loves you. How much this heart loves you. I need some time to keep myself by your side. To be able to ask you in a kind way to your two brothers. I hope you can be patient, baby?!"

"Is this related to Brother Re or Brother Kevin? Did they do anything bad to you, brother?"

"No. It's not all as you imagined. Brother Re and Brother Kevin are your best brothers. They just want the best for you. Your happiness is their priority. I understand what they mean"

"So this really has something to do with them, doesn't it?"

"No. Not directly though. They are innocent. It's just ... "

"Just ... What?", urged Kia.

Vino stopped his words. He adjusted his breathing slowly, adjusting his heartbeat pattern again. Letting his mind loosen up a little. Vino smiled.

"Sorry, I can't tell you. Brother Re is right, if we force it there will be a wounded heart. And I think Brother Re is the most hurt person among us"

"I don't understand what all this means, brother. What exactly happened"

"I have no right to tell you. Never mind Kia, we better just walk this fateful path first. Let time answer it. I have bound you with my prayer, and only God can break that bond. See you soon, honey. Take good care of yourself".

Kia was surprised to see Vino who left without looking at him again. Kia is trying to catch up to Vino. But the man got in his car faster and left Kia alone.
