KIRANA (She Is She Too)

Eps 53s

It was late at night, but Mr. Anton's eyes were still faithfully awake. While Yoga, he had already fallen asleep after taking his medicine.

Mr. Anton is working on a job that Yoga is supposed to handle tomorrow morning. Because Yoga is still sick, finally the papi must replace his responsibilities. Actually, he could have asked Beni to do it tonight. However, that man also had a family that needed him as well, right?

Once in a while Mr. Anton scratches his non-itchy head. Several times he typed something wrong on his phone and repeated it again. An hour later, he finally finished his job. He closed a data storage application and switched to open the contents of WhatsApp messages on his phone.

So many messages that Mr. Anton received. However, his eyes were fixed on a message sent by Beni that he had not opened since. Soon he opened it because he was again curious about the vidio that Beni sent him.

Vidio opens with a single tap. Seen in the vidio that Yoga is cursing Dance in public. Mr. Anton continued to focus on observing the vidio until it ran out. His hands clenched when he heard the sound of Yoga humiliating his girl violently.

The man snorted in annoyance. Until the vidio runs out, only inappropriate words come out of Yoga's mouth. Mr. Anton got up and approached the gurney. He saw with the face of the child just the way he was sleeping. Anger began to stir in his heart. If the boy hadn't been sick like this, Mr. Anton would have ripped his mouth out.

During his life, he never taught the boy to be rude and condescending to others. He also believed that the boy's grandparents had never taught him anything undue. But now, the mouth of Yoga is not taught to say good and right.

"You're outrageous, Yoga. Turns out your love for Dance is just that. If you love her, you won't be able to humiliate her in public. You will accept it no matter what. If your love isn't much bigger than Papa's, how come you're this angry?" said Mr. Anton at length.

She hopes Yoga hears everything she says even though her voice sounds so soft.

"You'll be sorry, Yoga." he added.

Then, Mr. Anton left Yoga alone in the room. Mr. Anton approached several nurses and said that he wanted to go home for a while and asked the nurse to take care of Yoga while he was not around.

Mr. Anton drives his car into the elite housing where his girl lives. He wanted to see the state of the girl after the incident that happened to him. He was sure that Tari was not doing well at the moment. Mr. Anton's car began to enter the yard area of Tari's house. After parking the car, the man immediately got down and went inside the house.

The situation inside the house is very quiet. No more signs of life in all the rooms. The night is indeed very late, maybe all the residents of the house have explored their subconscious.

Mr. Anton went straight to the girl's room. He knocked on the door slowly. There was no answer and perhaps Dance had fallen asleep. However, he felt worried if something happened to the girl.

"Master." call Mae Ma'am.

"Eh," Mr. Anton was surprised.

Mae Bu patted her arm slowly but still she felt shocked.

"Yes, Mom?"

"May I speak for a moment, sir."

"Please, Mom. Let's sit there." take Mr. Anton.

Both of them walked to the middle room.

"What's up, Mom?" ask Mr. Anton while sitting his body on the sofa.

"Look, Mr ...."

"Wait!" cut out that guy.

"Don't call me Master. I'm Mom's son."

"But,"

"Mom, Tari and her sisters already consider Mother as their birth mother. So, that means my mother is also my mother." explains Mr. Anton.

"Well then, Anton boy."

"Well, that's better" he said with a smile.

"Dance from school was looking moody. He also did not want to eat until now, even Tari did not go out of the room" explained Ms. Mae.

"He hasn't eaten yet?"

"Not yet, son." she replied, shaking her head.

Ma'am Mae sighed harshly. It's not that he doesn't know the polemic that's going on in Dance's life. The girl had already borne too much of a heavy burden that she had not yet borne. Especially her complicated love life. He also felt ashamed of himself because as a parent, he could not give good direction to the girl he had considered as his biological child.

"Son Anton,"

"Yes?"

"Mom hope Nak Anton can understand the feeling of Dance. The girl had already gone through many miserable life journeys. His heart was still too fragile to think of where he would dock."

After saying that, Ms. Mae bailed to warm the food and asked Mr. Anton to deliver the food to Tari.

While Mr. Anton, while waiting for Bu Mae to prepare food, he continued to think about the sentence said by Bu Mae. The burden of the girl's life is already very heavy, but she even adds to the problem by forcing her love. Life without a full-fledged parent is not easy. But the girl still has Bu Mae and herself, doesn't she?

Mr. Anton entered the room while carrying a tray of food and drinks for the girl. Fortunately, every door in the house has a spare key in its storage. So, Mr. Anton could easily fit into that room.

"Darling, are you asleep?" ask her while putting a tray on the nightstand.

The man sat on the lip of the bed and observed the sleeping Dance with a blanket as high as the neck. Mr. Anton tried to wake the girl by gently rubbing her head.

Successfully, the girl began to pry. He slowly opened his eyes that were still damp and was surprised to find the papi was already in his room.

"You calm down, dear" said the papi as he looked at the Dance that had edged away.

Maybe he still anticipates if something happens later.

"White, what's here?" tanya Dance.

"The fire only delivers food for you. You haven't eaten, have you? Come on, Papi's bribe!" he said while taking along the rice and vegetables on the tray.

"Day no laper, Pih."

"You should eat. I don't want you to be sick like Yoga."

"Yoga's sick?" tanya Tari doesn't believe.

This afternoon Yoga was still smoothly wearing it2, is it possible that the man suddenly fell ill?

"Yes, Yoga came to the office this afternoon and passed out. Now he's still in the hospital." explained Mr. Anton as he fed a spoonful of rice to Tari's mouth.

"Then?" ask the girl again while chewing the rice in her mouth.

"Doctor said, he's okay. Just need enough rest and vitamins."

"But why does Yoga pass out, pih?" tanya Dance curious.

"He fainted from shock" he replied briefly.

Dance fell silent while chewing the rice that was somehow a mouthful several times. It's true that it's shock. The girl still vividly remembered how angry Yoga's face was that she knew everything about her.

"What do you think?" The papi's question made the girl surprised.

"No, Pih" he answered briefly.

"You don't want to ask Papi why three of them fainted in shock?"

Smiling dance. He's sure the papi must have known all of it. However, Tari was still trying not to say anything. The girl shook her head.

"No, Pih."

"It's over" said papi. The man put an empty plate on the nightstand. Dance is not aware that she has been fed by the papi until it runs out.

Mr. Anton smiled. "You're too enthusiastic about Yoga, do you love her so much?"
