Chandanas

Naiya (3)

Naya blinked her eyes. He accidentally woke up from sleep when he heard a commotion from behind the house. Lazily, Naya walks out of the room to look for her stepmother and asks what the commotion is going on back there.

After a long tour, Naya felt surprised because she did not see her mother anywhere. Finally Naya decided to check for herself the source of the noise coming from behind the house.

With hesitation, Naya stepped slowly, trying not to cause too much noise. The further Naya stepped, the clearer the uproar. Even now Naya feels able to hear the voice of a man who is shouting on the sidelines of a thudding sound that seems to arise from blunt objects that are deliberately beaten.

Naya gets closer to the source of the sound as she carefully tries to hide behind a fence, peering at what is going on back there. Naya finds two men in their 20s beating up someone who is now sitting down, making it difficult for Naya to see his face.

Naya was still observing the abominations of the two men as her heart started pounding. Cold sweat drenched his forehead and neck in fear, this was the first time he had witnessed a fight directly with his own two eyes. The longer the two become. They kicked, beat with wood, and even cornered the Victim with cigarettes, clamoring for payment for debts and dire threats. Although Naya does not know exactly what the problem is, she realizes she must do something to stop what is going on there, the helpless man could have died at the hands of these two hoodlums.

Thinking of calling the police, Naya undoes her intention because she realizes it will take a long time for the police to get here. That man could have died before the police arrived. Naya again weighed in between her panic, and a decision was taken that was quite reckless. Shaking, Naya pulled the phone out of her pocket and played a police siren from one of the apps. Two men who were previously still busy beating the figure who had fallen down also ran away after hearing the sound of police sirens sourced from Naya's cellphone.

Naya heaved a sigh of relief as she managed to trick the two people and make them leave. Basic dongo. He thought inwardly, filled with a sense of victory.

After making sure the two men actually left, Naya ran towards the male figure that was covered with blood and bruises all over her body and face. Naya screamed when she realized she was her sister. With tears starting to pool, Naya helped her brother stand up even though with a trembling body.

"What the hell's going on here?" said Naya's older brother, trying to break away from his sister.

Naya stared furiously, "Nolongin elo is it? Lo crazy huh? Who are those guys? Why do they mukulin lo until rich gini?"

"It's none of your business. I want to tell you nothing, Papa" the man again jerked Naya's hand off, then limped and walked into the house.

"Gue help!" Naya squealed when she saw her brother almost fall due to a daze.

"Said gausaha don't have to! Next time don't interfere in my business like this again," said the Brother with ketusnya.

Naya rubbed her tears at how arrogant and did not know herself this person, "So I do not nolongin lo, you are now dead already know not! Why have you been all this time? They're who! Huh uh?"

Still walking without paying the slightest heed to his sister, the man said, "Gue said it's none of your business."

Naya fell silent in her place. Although he felt very worried about his brother's condition, getting such treatment made him feel angry. Her brother had indeed changed a lot since their father decided to remarry, but Naya did not think that her brother would deal with such dangerous people. Although her brother is rarely at home and often acts tough on her, Naya realizes the man still loves their family as he once did. It's just that he's immersed in his own world, a world that Naya and her family don't understand.

After the incident, Naya continued to lock herself in the room. He tried to find out all the information about his brother through social media. Starting from photos, status, even people who are friends and follow each other, all Naya exploration in detail.

From there Naya discovered the fact that her brother had been plunged into a completely different world. When viewed from all the information found Naya, her brother hangs out with delinquent children, often drunk, not even close the possibility of her brother also falling into the valley of drugs.

Naya shed tears imagining what could have happened to her sister after this. She was afraid that something bad would happen considering the treatment her brother received from the two people. Maybe now Naya can save her brother's life, but who knows? They could have come back and done something worse. Just imagining what could have happened made Naya feel dizzy. Fear runs through his mind and heart.

Not so long ago, the ringing of the cell phone resuscitated Naya from her daydream. In a hurry, Naya picks up the phone and checks who called her. He was stuck when he saw the name of Roka listed there. With hesitation, Naya raised the call.

No words or sentences are exchanged. Only the soft sound of the roar of breath could Naya hear other than the sound of her own breathing. For minutes they were silent without a sound, as if trying to give each one time to calm down and choose the right words to say to each other.

"Ha-Hello?" Naya was the first to speak.

"Naya, I'm sorry. I shouldn't talk like that."

Naya breathed a sigh of relief. During the days of school holidays, there was nothing he could do without thinking about Roka. Thinking about the man's feelings for what he had heard and said on the last day of their meeting.

"Gue also apologized. I shouldn't vent my bad mood and all my problems to elo."

"No. Lo bener's. I am outrageous, I often play tricks on women just because I want to prove my opinion of you is true. Sorry, Nay. I won't be that anymore."

"You want to meet? I have something to talk about," Naya offers a meeting with Roka. Naya knows Roka has many friends from various elements and levels, therefore Naya wants to ask Roka for help to scrape information about her brother a little more.

"OKAY. I picked it up this afternoon, right?"

Naya smiled as Roka agreed to her request without much ngeles and asked.

"Yes. I hung up on you, didn't I?"

"Yes. Bye."

"Bye."

Naya still smiled as she looked at her phone as Roka hung up on them. I don't know why he feels better and better than before. Probably because he had been talking and hearing a lot from Chandana a few days ago.

That day, after Roka and Kiran left the restaurant, Naya cries in Chandana's arms because she feels guilty and also relieved because finally the burden in the heart that she has been saving herself can come out along with all points of view and her uneg-uneg about Roka and all the men on earth.

In the midst of his sobbing, Naya asks Chandana, "Why are you finally willing to accept Kiran? You said you're afraid he won't be able to accept the fact that when the time comes he knows everything."

Chandana paused for a moment, then said, "I was hesitant at first, too, Naya. But I have no doubts about Kiran, I have doubts about myself. I doubt if I who had a past that bad, kept that many secrets, was worthy of Kiran? Will we be okay together? But Kiran kept convincing me. He convinced me to give him a chance to prove himself to me, to give myself a chance."

"Everything won't always be okay, Naya. Nothing will always be okay. If indeed later Kiran would leave me after she knew everything, then it was inevitable. That's the price I have to pay for our time together. I know that all decisions always have consequences, nor do I know what is waiting for us there, but we live in this day, Naya. What I have now will always be taken care of. As for the future, I return everything to God's destiny" Chandana smiled faintly as she rubbed her best friend's head slowly.

Naya was sobbing more and more, "You're the same Kiran really mature about this kind of thing huh? What is the effect of liking to read?"

Chandana smiled once again, "It seems like it is."

"If I may know, why are you so bitter to say that men always want to win by themselves? Always looking for loopholes to play and hurt women?" Chandana decided to ask a question that she had been resistant to.

Naya let go of her embrace while removing the remains of tears around her face and neck, "First in Junior High, I once had a boyfriend. He is a very kind and understanding person. He has always dominated everything in our relationship, although sometimes he is willing to take my opinion, but all of that is solely for him to melt me because in the end it remains his will that we must obey. At that time I was not aware, he was always sweet and seemed to know how to calm and melt me who was stubborn," Naya paused for a moment to welcome the order of those who had just arrived.

After sipping his drink a mouthful, Naya continued, "He never meant me, but he was manipulative and really knew how to hold me, so we never fought at all. All work until after graduation. I actually began to realize the same fact that he was always more dominant, but I tepis thought that by assuming that as long as we do not fight and still love each other, everything must be fine. But in fact he's double, Chandana. He's been cheating since the first year we dated."

"Since then I have started to think that in a relationship that is peaceful and without quarrel does not mean there is nothing. This does not mean that the relationship will last long. And from there I also hate men, because to me they are all the same," Naya sipped her drink again.

Chandana listened to Naya carefully. Trying to understand the situation based on Naya's point of view, and his own point of view as a neutral party. After thinking for a long time, Chandana said, "It may be true what Kiran said earlier, Naya. We cannot accuse a village of being a murderer just because one of its citizens killed people. We can't say all men will hurt women just because one man hurt you. Not exactly an analogy."

"I hope you don't see anyone else through the same glasses. You may not be aware, but you may see Roka as you see your ex-boyfriend, the crocodile man who has hurt you. Therefore you do not realize that all this time Roka has never hurt anyone. He never broke any girl's heart, Naya," Chandana held Naya's shoulder, trying to make her best friend understand her intentions and direction.

"I mean, from now on, see Roka as Roka. Not as a man or the kind of creature that once made you hurt. Yea?" Chandana smiled faintly.

"Thank you. Thank you for wanting to negur me and nasehatin I am like gini. I'm lucky to know you, Kiran, and the flea couple Roka. If it wasn't for you, maybe I would have lived forever blaming all the men in the world for something they didn't - some of them did," Naya puts her iced coffee on the table and hugs Chandana tightly.

Who would have thought their conversation that day could open Naya's heart. Can make him a little more understanding of how he should act and respond to everything.

Now, with her mind still not fully relieved, Naya went downstairs to pick up some food. Naya stared at her sister's bedroom door for a few minutes as she accidentally saw the door. Naya doesn't know what to do, but she really wants to help her brother. She was afraid that something bad would happen to her brother if she kept quiet.

Roka, I hope you can help me.

Naya feeds a spoonful of rice and side dishes into her mouth, hoping that everything will be fine until she can find a solution or maybe a little bright spot for something that is happening to her brother.
