Little Answer

"Where's mas?" ask Anin when the call is connected.

"I'm on the project" replied Roman briefly.

"Oo...How will we meet?"

"Maybe I'm overtime, overwork. Where are you?"

"I started working in Mas Angga's office, yes already if Mas busy. No papa, can see you tomorrow again," resigned Anin did not want to force.

"I'll try tomorrow" said Roman.

"Yes Mas," then disconnected the call. Anin felt a change in Roman's attitude that was increasingly indifferent to her. But it's okay for him, this is not how much compared to his persistence up to

got Roman's attention three years ago.

While elsewhere, Roman was checking the work of Kinar yesterday. Researching it sheet by sheet.

"Your work is neat, meticulous too" praised Roman.

"Just learned sir, don't understand everything yet."

"Forward, let my workload be slightly reduced," re-printed the file.

"Yes.don't call me Father. It feels old," Roman protested.

"What do I call you?" Kinara knitted both of her eyebrows.

"Whatever..."

"Anytime yes..." Kinara chuckled to herself.

"I'm not your subscription salesman's brother" he protested again.

"Keep what..?" there was a spoiled impression in that sentence.

"Mas..," replied Roman briefly.

"alright...Mas Roman," nodded his head but his focus was still on the file sheet before him.

Just this time I saw him smile like that. Roman's heart said, tucked into another feeling while staring at the look on that face. A facial sharpener that makes him want and want to meet every time.

"What are you cooking today?" Roman seemed to be trying to familiarize himself with Kinara.

"There's salted fish as a vegetable, that's all" Kinara replied without looking back at Roman.

"Mas Roman didn't do it?"

"What matters is that it can be eaten, no matter what," Roman said.

"Good then. So I cook it as I like."

"Yes.it's up to you."

Two menus have been presented at the table, there is no other special menu. Only one jar of crackers used to be noisy friends as a complement. Just before one mouthful of them ravenously, Jay suddenly walked in.

"Lunch first Jay," Roman bargained this time in Jay's favor.

Kinara took out an empty plate next to her, thrusting at Jay.

"Please Mas.." he said awkwardly.

Finally the three people were at one table focusing on each plate. Without any suspicion there was a complicated attachment between them.

"Lu go back to Jogja to meet your girl, right?" tanya Roman broke the silence. Making Kinara stop the movement of her spoon.

"My girl is here" answered Jay flatly with a glance at Kinara.

uhuk...Kinara choked on her.

Not had time for Jay's hand to reach for the glass, Roman quickly had already thrust it while patting Kinara's back. Making Jay's eyes round, with a look that instantly changed.

"No papa, just choking. I'm going to the back first" Ngeloyor left the table. Avoiding Roman's gentle treatment of her. While the look in Jay's eyes was still so sharp staring at him, it disappeared behind the bathroom door.

______________________________

Two days have passed since the incident Jay has not found a loophole to know what exactly Kinara is hiding. Even chasing him felt useless, it was impossible to find the answer he wanted.

Two days later, Roman seems to have forgotten his promise to meet Anin, a relationship that began with pity that was completely unable to bind his feelings. His heart was still wandering around to find a moored spot. Making Anin unable to muffle his disappointment, decided to meet him at the project site while free.

Just one step of his foot came in, his eyes were wide open. The sight of the idol in a position very close to a woman makes the tension rise instantly.

"Mas.." call her in a resentful tone. Let the two men look at each other at the same time.

"Anne...!"

"So this is why you feel so good here?" his gaze grew even more wrathful when he saw that the girl was Kinara.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't misunderstand Nin, Mr. Roman just explained what I don't understand on that computer," sela Kinara who was actually also surprised by the existence of Anin who had been familiar with it.

"I'm out first sir," she said, choosing to leave. Not to interfere in their problems.

Anin did not budge, not responding to Kinara's words at all. Although in his heart he was curious why he was in that place.

"You know each other?" tanya Roman after hearing Kinar mention the name Anin, which means to know her.

"Yes, we know each other. Even more than just knowing," Anin replied cynically.

"After my brother it seems like you are also fascinated with him. Men are the same," he murmured.

Hearing the word Brother who is alias Jay makes Roman furrow his eyebrows. Want to know more clearly, "Again you?"

"My baby's in jail because of how he's nolongin. She was pregnant with another man. Do not know yourself." said Anin full of emphasis.

Jail...is that their relationship? Then get pregnant..What because of my actions? The questions continued to wander his brain, considering his actions that might indeed produce a fetus in his womb.

"Why are you Mas diem..?" sergeant Anin.

"I want to be alone first, don't bother me," Roman concluded as if his head was about to break thinking about it.

"Heh.apparently right, he poisoned you," Anin sneered out carrying disappointment. Never expected, Kinara Kbalj appeared to disturb his life.

For almost two hours, Roman was just down to think about it. What should he do if the child is his son. The guilt became more urgent, stabbing pain into his heart.

When he decided to get up and go out, he saw Jay stepping carrying a bag of rice and another grocery crackle with Kinara by his side.

So it's true they're that close. And I ruined it all.. What should I do? unable to solve the problem in his head. Ruffling her hair, frustrating.

"Still Mas.." Kinara said to Jay, sounding soft but expressionless after his groceries were placed in the kitchen.

"Other times if you want to shop just say it, let me get people to take it," Jay replied looking at him in the shade.

While Roman was silent, he noticed the two people. Tucked guilt as well as uncomfortable feeling in his heart. A feeling that he cannot yet understand. He obviously doesn't like their closeness.

After Jay came out left those two men. Seeing Roman's unusual gaze made Kinara uncomfortable.

"I'm going home first. My work is done" said Kinar farewell while packing. Then it immediately moved, swinging its steps towards the door, exiting.

"I'm sorry" said Roman, holding his hand.

Kinar looked confused, "for what?"

Roman was stunned, he wasn't ready to say the truth, "for everything, I often trouble you" he replied.

"I'm here working, there's a payoff. So there's nothing to forgive" Kinara replied as she pulled Roman's hand from her wrist.

Saar it feels Roman really want to hold the girl's body, leaning on his chest. Relieve the heavy burden that Kinar struck himself for his actions.

And elsewhere Jay receives word from people telling him to. "From the available data, Kinara has never been married. But he has a child. I can not find the data of the father of the child," the contents of the incoming chat from a friend.
