Go home

Season 2 #Anger

Towards the magrib, Kanya was still sitting restlessly in the lobby of MediaPena alone. The atmosphere is getting quieter. Only a night watchman and a staff member from the marketing division still seem to have to finish the job. Every now and then he stands to ascertain whether Araz's car has been seen or not. While his hands did not stop checking the device whether there was a reply from the man.

From five o'clock in the afternoon, Kanya sent Araz a message and there was no response at all. Let alone reply, the message only ended with two gray ticks that made him even more agitated. He was afraid something had happened to Araz. The phone was not picked up by him.

It felt like Kanya was moving everywhere, to find and make sure that Araz was okay. But where Kanya has to go, she doesn't know. The only thing he did was wait. Araz couldn't have let him be stranded all night in the office lobby, right? That's the thought that Kanya keeps believing. Because now he is starting to get scared.

No, Kanya is not afraid of the night watchman whom she considers a grandfather. Or Rizal marketing children who still look busy in his room. The kanya was only afraid if it suddenly appeared a white-robed figure and made her faint. Especially if not the mediocre who he said inhabit the MediaPena building. For Kanya that's the scariest thing right now. Had it really appeared, Kanya could not use physical strength to fight them and obviously, it must have been extremely exhausting.

"Neng, haven't come home yet?" greet Mr. Rozak after he made sure the entire description of the MediaPena office was lit. He greeted Kanya, who was still visibly agitated in the lobby of her workplace.

"Yes, sir. Still waiting for an invitation."

"Where is Mr Araz?" asked Mr. Rozak then in a soft voice.

Not many people know the relationship between Kanya and Araz. Only a few people know if they are lovers and guarantee their confidentiality. Mr. Rozak is one of them.

Kanya only smiled weakly in response to Mr. Rozak's question. Somehow he had to answer. Because, almost all MediaPena employees know, Araz is a structured and timely person. Everything is clearly detailed in his agenda. And, supposed to pick up Kanya was indeed on the agenda of the man at five this afternoon. However, to this day, he is still unseen.

Actually, Kanya doesn't want to be picked up by Araz every day. Moreover, they must wake up and leave too early, so that their appearance is not known by others. Similarly when I go home. They had to wait until the office was empty. Kanya had said repeatedly to Araz to let him bring his own car, but the man said, let him be Kanya's right hand for that one. Kanya can no longer refuse.

"Neng, how come you're dumb? Mr. Araznya, where are you going?"

"Not knowing this, sir. It was difficult to contact from earlier, too," Kanya replied in the end.

The man checked the clock around his right wrist. He said later, "Cock tumben really late to pick him up. Usually, if from outside duties, surely on time five hours have reached the office. Now I want magrib, Neng."

"Yes, that's why, sir. I don't know why he hasn't come yet either. Kanya's message has not been answered either."

He checked his clothes again. Still tick two grays.

Luckily, when she decides to go to the nearest coffee shop, she meets Hanung and Abi who happen to be wanting to have lunch at their favorite place. At first Kanya also did not know that there is a coffee shop that has a menu complete with heavy meals. Moreover, the coffee shop became the favorite place of the editor-in-chief. There is no doubt about taste. A plate of fried java noodles and a glass of strawberry juice can restore his messy mood. From his meeting with Hanung Kanya also knows that today Araz birthday.

With the passion that the nation's youth has inherited since 1928, Kanya rushes to prepare a small surprise for Araz. He buys cakes at his grocery store and goes to the mall to buy gifts for Araz. No longer care about his messy mood due to failing to get the results of the interview he had been waiting for. It's okay, there are still many interesting topics that he can discuss for news material. However, in the midst of Kanya's spirit preparing everything, it was precisely she who was surprised because until now the man had not appeared as well.

"Just wait inside, Neng. I will tell Mr. Araznya when I arrive. I want this dark. Not good women outside the house at this hour. Pamali," said Mr. Rozak.

"Wait a minute, sir. I'll be here any minute."

And, it is also true Kanya's guess. Before long, Araz's car entered MediaPena's office and headed straight for the lobby where Kanya was waiting. After saying goodbye to Mr. Rozak, Araz immediately left the MediaPena office without much talk. Even apologizing for the delay in picking up Kanya was not.

Unknowingly, tears began to pour down Kanya's cheeks. He never faced Araz who looked so temperamentous. Even anger was evident in the two eyes of the man as he looked at him the first time when he met. Kanya did not know what caused the man to be so angry. It was like Kanya was asking, but her lips were too faint. He was so tired he didn't want to argue. When he arrived at the Kanya apartment basement, Araz did not speak.

"Mas Araz, what's the matter?" kanya asked him in the end after he had gathered the courage to look into Araz's two eyes that held embers.

There's no answer. Araz's mouth was silent.

"Is it wrong with Araz?"

That guy still doesn't want to talk.

Kanya breathed a tired sigh. The paper bag contains a birthday tart that they should celebrate both. However, it turns out that Araz's mood is messier than Kanya thought.

"Sorry, I didn't know that Mas Araz was on his birthday today. It should be a surprise for Mas Araz once we get to the top. But I guess Mas Araz is no longer in the mood to talk to me. So, I give you the tart now. Happy birthday ... "

Before Kanya could finish her sentence, Araz hugged the body of the woman in front of him. Close-fitting. So warm. Very inversely proportional to the embers that originally danced in both eyes. He smiled behind Araz's back.

Indeed, if a relationship is always passed with a sweet moment at all times, when they will both learn to understand and process the taste. Although Kanya still does not know what causes Araz to be so angry, at least through the embrace he knows, that his man has an extraordinary love.
