Kanya's Story

Don't call me sir

"You saw, right? Zaen had a head wound. Now you're medicine, there. Here's the cure", tell Mama Zahra to Kanya while giving her the cure.

"Where's the room, ma'am? Eh he means, Ma", said Kanya while scratching her non-itchy head.

"The room next to the tv room, there will be a room whose door has a Spider-Man sticker". Kanya nodded and went towards Zaen's room.

When he arrived, Kanya saw the brown door. He took a deep breath, he had already polished his fingers inward to knock on the door with his face down, and…

"Kok, there is no sound of tok tok, anyway?", Kanya said in her heart.

"What does he mean knock my chest? He thinks I'm the door?", Zaen said in his heart. But Zaen said nothing and did not move.

As Kanya raised her head, how shocked she was to see Zaen already in front of her. Kamya immediately lowered her still raised hand.

"Pardon, sir. I don't mean to be disrespectful" Kanya said lowered her head.

"What are you doing here?", asked Zaen. Then Zaen's eyes were fixed on the medicine box that Kanya was holding.

"Sa-I was told by the lady to treat your wounds" Kanya replied.

"It turns out he's willing to treat my wound", Zaen's inner being.

"Come in", and Zaen goes back into his room.

"Pardon, sir. I did not dare to enter the room of a man other than Mr.'s", Kanya refused to enter Zaen's room.

"Yes, we're in the tv room". Kanya replied with a nod.

"absolutely plain. Has she never dated?", murmured Zaen.

Now Kanya and Zaen were sitting on the same couch and facing each other. Kanya's heart was pounding fast as she had never faced a man this close other than her father.

Then Kanya drops the red medicine on the cotton, and rubs it on Zaen's temple carefully.

"Aw", cry Zaen.

"Sorry, sir", sir",

"Why are you sorry? Isn't the red medicine a painkiller?", asked Zaen when he heard Kanya apologize as if the red medicine that caused the wound was his own fault.

Kanya did not answer anything else, and Kanya attached plaster to Zaen's temple.

"Tadaa, it's done" Kanya said spontaneously while cleaning the medicine box. Zaen who heard Kanya's words pulled her lips together to form a smile.

"What do you think I am? It's over?", asked Zaen with his jaily smile. Kanya heard Zaen's question to realize what he said earlier.

"Pardon, sir. That's not what I mean", inwardly, Kanya cursed herself for how foolishly she let her mouth say that.

Kanya looked at Zaen's face, how surprised she found Zaen's face still with her ugly smile. He immediately walked off the sofa. His hand was held by Zaen.

"Don't call me sir. Just call me Zaen", Kanya nodded her head and ran small to return the medicine box to its place again. Precisely to get away from Zaen's deathly smile.

"My heart why?", muttered Kanya while holding her chest.

Zaen chuckled at Kanya's behavior. "My smile was too sweet until she ran away" Zaen murmured.

"Zaens. Kanya's. Let's go to the boutique now", Mama Zahra's voice echoed throughout the room.

Kanya who was waiting at the front door followed by Zaen and Mama Zahra.

"Zaen, use your car, yes" said Mama Zahra smiling but glaring her eyes at Zaen. Zaen who saw that immediately understood.

"I-yes, Ma", replied Zaen.
