DEW PURITY

Hosted

Time passed, the night was the last time Haykal met Kanaya. Several times Haykal looked for a chance to meet Kanaya. But not once, he was able to meet Kanaya. Haykal's efforts were in vain, there was no gap to meet Kanaya. Let alone the figure of Kanaya, the shadow of Kanaya can no longer be seen by Haykal. Kanaya's anger that night, a bath of vinegar that doused her heart wound. Haykal passed the day with a very painful wound.

Even Fandy hired a few people, to look for Kanaya's whereabouts. But all are deadlocked. Haykal was cornered at one point. Meet Kanaya's extended family, for one word of apology. Although there was no hope for him to become one with Kanaya. At least he can leave with an apology.

Exactly at 20:00 WIB, on a long Sunday night. Haykal came to visit Kanaya's house. The last possible attempt could get him to meet Kanaya. His fancy car went into the front yard of Abra's house. The house where Haykal left his love. Haykal got out of his car with wide steps full of authority. Seen Haykal's gamang steps, when he set foot on the porch of the house. But with a unanimous determination, Haykal ventured to knock on the big door of Abra's house.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

Haykal's beat sounded so loud. The condition of the house is so quiet, making the sound of Haykal's knock sounds loud. Haykal's heartbeat, further adding to the nervousness of his heart. A few minutes of waiting, it felt long and slow. His heart was at a crossroads, between being ready and not accepting Kanaya's rejection.

Kreeekk

"Yes, who do you want to meet?" greet Hanna, without looking up at Haykal. Hanna opened the door, shortly after hearing a knock. It just so happened that Hanna was in the middle room with her two children.

"Assalammualaikum Hanna!" hello Haykal friendly, Hanna looked up. His two eyes were perfectly rounded. Haykal was standing right in front of him. The figure he never imagined came knocking on his door again.

"Heykal!" hanna's words stammered, Haykal's wink in the eye a signal of justification for Hanna's disbelief.

Hanna opened the door as wide as possible. Hanna asks Haykal to come inside the house. Rafan just came from the hospital. Therefore Hanna dared to let Haykal into the house. After Haykal sat down, Hanna went into the kitchen. Ask someone to make a drink for Haykal. Nothing has changed, the attitude of the entire Kanaya family remains the same. It's just that the status might no longer be the same.

"Please drink!" hanna said, Haykal nodded slowly. But Haykal's hand remained silent. As if he had no intention of drinking the coffee served by Hanna.

"Why are you silent? Long time no see!" hanna said, breaking the silence. Haykal lowered his head, Hanna's relaxed and warm attitude. Unable to make him calm, the anxiety in his heart was so great. He could not cover his anxiety.

"Haykal, do you want to meet Kanaya?" hanna said firmly and straightforwardly. Haykal was silent, his courage was gone. There is only anxiety for no apparent reason.

"You answered my beliefs!" sahut Hanna, Haykal looked up. Haykal felt astonished, but there was a ray of hope in his gaze. Hope Hanna told Kanaya whereabouts. Haykal was eager to speak from heart to heart. Seeking the end of the love that is in his heart.

"Kanaya just got home!" hanna said, Haykal stared in disbelief. It was as if Hanna's answer was just a lie. But Hanna's words are the truth.

"Home home, isn't this his home!"

"Kanaya doesn't live here. Since he came home from abroad. Kanaya chose to live alone. Kanaya is still the daughter of this family, but she chose to live without this family. The big decision we received with a big heart!"

"He's still Kanaya, there's nothing different about him. Only Kanaya's perspective and life are different from ours. Kanaya is still my little sister, but Kanaya's independence no longer needs my helping hand!" hanna said softly, Haykal shook his head in disbelief. The truth about Kanaya made Haykal's guilt even greater.

"Come to her house, talk to her as a friend instead of her husband. You will know Kanaya again!"

"Home!"

"Yes Haykal, you're still Kanaya's husband. For five years, never once did you utter a talaq to Kanaya. You returned Kanaya to papa as trust. Even if it can be said as a split word. But religiously, as long as you have never uttered talaq to Kanaya. She's still your wife, but after five years of your departure. How wise, if you ask Kanaya's decision. If he wants to end your marriage. That's her right, as a wife who hasn't been considered for the past five years!" rizal said softly and warmly, Haykal fell silent. He heard a reason that made him deserve to be happy. But given his five-year absence. Haykal felt he no longer deserved to be the priest of the Kanaya afterlife.

"Om Rizal, where's aunt Aira?" greeting Hanna, Rizal looked back. Aira came with Faiz. While Rizal walked first, because he was carrying several large bags.

"You're gonna stay over?" hanna said, Aira and Rizal nodded at the same time.

"Aira is tired of living alone with me. He wants to stay in this house. Look, how many clothes did he bring? Aira's love is starting to fade!" rizal said, Hanna chuckled. Haykal smiled seeing such simple happiness. But happiness is full of sincerity and what it is.

"Who wouldn't be bored? Almost every night brother is jealous is unclear. Brother was upset for no reason, even brother forbade me from working. Because I met a man. My sister is coming with me too!" sahut Aira with a loud tone. Rizal smiled at Aira's funny anger. Rizal is happy to be able to live together with Aira. To be the most valuable part of Aira's life.

"Haykal, sorry you had to hear our little debate. Only by arguing can we show our love. The age difference is quite far away, making us both on the brink of separation. If we don't look for reinforcement ropes, then our hands will come off. This debate is the best way we can get together. We can see the weaker and less side, not to part or ridicule each other. Except to appreciate each other. For the love that fades away with time!"

"It's okay? Instead I thank you, being able to see such sincerity-filled happiness!" said Haykal, Rizal blinked his two beautiful eyes. Aira and Hanna went inside. Hanna escorted Aira into her room. While Rizal chose to accompany Haykal.

"Haykal, like your relationship with Kanaya is full of hate. Distance is the reason for longing, the time that separates you and leaves your wounds. The love that was once sincere has now turned into hate. But believe me, if you can find a way to understand the personal Kanaya. You will rediscover that faded, unflagging love!"

"Om Rizal, I'm a fool. But this love and heart is only for Kanaya. No other name and heart deserves this love!" said Haykal, Rizal nodded while patting Haykal's hand.

"I believe your love is sincere and your longing is real. But five years is not a short time, it takes a lot of time to get to know Kanaya again. Like me who kept years of love for Aira, but had to go back to learning to know Aira. When my love is spoken and find a way to stay together. I had to learn to be a child, when Aira was acting like an adult. Sometimes I have to be a father, when Aira acts like a child. We are indeed men, unworthy of crying and being spoiled. But in warm love, being a little gentle will not make us lose our self-esteem!"

"Why is Rizal talking to me like this?"

"For in love you both have an ego in the way. Kanaya grows up to be a strong and mature woman. He will not be weak in front of you. Therefore, be a childish Haykal. For Kanaya to feel needed, not wanted. Give up your friendship, don't declare your love. The wounds you left behind have not healed. Don't you remind Kanaya of the same wound. Instead, offer a sincere outpouring of friendship. As a healing medicine for his wounds!"

"Thank you!" haykal said full of haru flavor.
