Emotionalism

Evan fell asleep quietly on Kinara's lap, his tense face still etched clear even though his eyes were tightly closed. The incident made his heart uncomfortable, even though he did not know much about the problems of adults.

While Roman was desperately trying to focus on his wheel, his eyes were repeatedly directed at Kinara who chose silence.

"I'm hungry, can you feed me?" roman said arbitrarily, no matter the circumstances.

"I want to go home" replied Kinara briefly.

"Is it because of Jay?" roman's question this time sounded so cold.

"It has nothing to do with him."

"Have you never had that feeling for me?" sounds urgent.

"Even the shirt that was spilled over by the coffee I was keeping, hoping for another chance and another" he tried to express his heart which he had let go deep down over the years.

Kinara choked to hear that, remembering running at the incident that had made his heart rumble unable to control. The rumble that was only a moment, which in the end was shipwrecked in the midst of the storm of life trials that he had to face.

"Why silence, did you feel the same way back then?" stare Roman full of suspicion.

Kinara only smiled wryly in response to Roman's suspicion, "don't think of the distance."

"Now I just want to focus on Evan" he added.

"Evan would be happy if we were together, to be a whole family. That's what Evan wants, don't be a selfish mother. I have been and still have been traumatized in your life. Give me a chance to pay for what I did."

"Sorry, I can't" said Kinara.

"Because of Jay's sacrifice all this time, who was even willing to pawn his freedom for years for your sake, because that's right?"

Kinara again just lowered his head, not expecting the firings of Roman increasingly raining down the recesses of his heart.

"If I had done that, would you have chosen me? Be honest with yourself, that actually the feeling you give Jay is nothing more than an overflow of gratitude," Roman said at length, further corrupting Kinara.

"Enough.do not feel the most understanding of the hearts of others. Better put me down here," replied Kinara with the look of her eyes so sharp.

"As far as you are, act according to his conscience. Don't torture your inner self more deeply" Roman said, still holding on to his belief that there was a deep feeling in Kinara's heart for him.

Kinara growled inwardly, so annoyed by Roman's increasingly indecisive attitude.

Maybe if there wasn't much drama in my life, that heartbeat would have ushered me in a longing-space trap that left me trapped in a cradle of love I refused to greet. It's just that reality pulls us out of that hopeful space, getting us caught up in a drama of hurt and resentment that refuses to subside. Among us have been lined up not to stalk taste...

The silence of the atmosphere presented by the gradually dissolving night did not make Jay allow the tiredness of the body beat his intention to meet Kinara. He kept waiting quietly, until footsteps sounded faint. He saw two figures walking in tandem approaching him. The person he was waiting for was wasting his time with another man.

"Mas.." Kinara felt so awkward about the situation.

"Where is the key, I want to bring Evan in" Roman asked with a cold expression. Kinara thrust out the key without saying anything. He was silent in front of Jay, seemed to be caught cheating.

"When have you been waiting here?" Kinara tried to melt the atmosphere.

"Come in. It's late, at least I see you're safe," he said glancing at Roman, sounding full of insinuations.

"Sorry.." Kinara walked in, then locked the door. Letting two people complain about their emotions in their own way.

"Thank you for everything you've done to Kinara, I haven't heard about your story for long. But that doesn't mean I just give up, I will fight for her to be by my side. Because Evan needs me and him more together" said Roman, who made Jay speechless, aware of the situation.

"It's not Evan who needs you together, you need Evan to be with Kinara. What Evan needs is affection. I can give him that, a lot maybe even more than your gift," replied Jay who finally did not choose to take things for granted.

Jay was just staring at Roman's departure full of hate.

*****

At a nightclub, again and again alcoholic drinks become an escape for Anin to forget his disappointment in Roman.

"Anin...?" ario just came in.

"Who are you?" anin's gaze was vague.

"Don't you want me? How come you drink gini-rich drunk ampe, cut off you are the same as Roman?"

Anin smiled cynically, "yes..."

"Why?"

"He met the same damn girl who had a child with him" Anin replied.

"Cinara? Is it possible that Kinara was pregnant with Roman's child?" Ario muttered to himself trying to guess.

The name Kinara made Anin's eyes widen instantly, "what? Kinara?"

"Lu know him? about five years ago, Roman raped Kinara. I didn't expect Kinara to get pregnant."

Anin grabbed her phone, looking for something there. "Is this what you mean?" show me one of the photos from his phone.

"Hemmm.iya it's the guy."

Anin closed her eyes, so furious was she at the figure of the woman who had taken what belonged to her.

"Yet again you" he muttered, rising up, staggering away from the place.

"Where are you going?" exclaimed Ario who was not touched at all by him.

I will not stay silent, I will not let ja**** it snatch my love, ruined my life again.

Anin nervously knocks down the door of her apartment, hoping Jay is there. And it is true that the brother is sitting in front of the television.

"Keep Kinara away from Mas Roman" he said firmly. Jay just looked at it briefly, as if he didn't touch it.

"Didn't my brother love her. Let's work together to get our love" he said again.

"Gue doesn't have to work with you" replied Jay lightly.

"Dude..." Anguished Anin.

"Gue will get Kinara my way. And Roman is your business" Jay said as he stepped into the room. He understood a little how devious the younger brother, who probably after this would try to make misahin himself from Kinara.

"All right, then I. Don't get me wrong for what happens later," threatened Anin lirih, very difficult to persuade.

"Gue will singgirin' her my way. He doesn't pantes happy with anyone," he was so sure.
