Roman dragged Kinara's hand forcefully, while Kinara's gaze was still locked on Jay who wasn't looking at her at all, passing by and disappearing into the depths of the night.
"I want to go home alone, please let go!" pinta Kinara with a slow but emphasis.
"I just want to get you home, that's all" Roman replied.
"Don't be like this, the relationship between us is just because of a mistake. And not to continue. We better be on our own path. Evan's existence is not a reason for us to force a choice together. Don't torture each other, I'm tired.." - sagging Kinara with teary eyes.
Hearing the words made Roman slowly loosen the grip of his hand. There was a disappointed streak clearly drawn on his face. Various efforts he had tried only to melt Kinara's heart, but in fact until now only in vain.
"I'm sorry if I've been tormenting you all this time. Regardless of that incident or Evan's whereabouts, I love you Kinara... Am I wrong if I want this relationship between us to be officially intertwined in a marriage bond. Raising our children together. I know, you still have a hard time accepting it. Everything will be normal if we get used to it. Even if you can never return my feelings, pour out all your love just for Evan. Enough with the love I have, I can make you happy" Roman said. And apparently the same applies to Kinara, who now chooses silence with tears slowly flowing down her cheeks.
"But if you're happier with someone else, what can I do. Just got the right to try, wait for an opportunity to come in my side. I'm not Jay who has sacrificed so much, I'm the one who ruined your life. But you need to know, I love you from beginning to end," Roman said.
"Your talks are very serious, but it's a shame. Let's go home Kinara," interrupted Angga who suddenly approached him. Kinara who was still lowered slowly stepped up following him. While Roman was still silently sculpting, as if he had not let go of Kinara.
"It looks like you guys have a problem, you and Jay. Is it because of Roman?" ask Angga when he was in the car.
"Let's see, Mas Jay's changed lately. Maybe a lot of misunderstanding. Like that," answered Kinara.
"I used to tell Roman to make your decetin. He shut himself away from being called a woman. It turns out that he really fell in love with you. He is a good man, maybe even a dream for some women. Despite your same fatal mistake, he deserves a chance. But Jay, what he's done to you is so big, so much. His love is very sincere with you, it is not fair to just suffer," Kinara just fell silent to hear the sentence after sentence that Angga said.
"Put your heart, don't just wait for torture. Step up to embrace happy," continued Angga who this time sounds very serious not as silly as usual.
"Thank you sir" replied Kinara lowered her head. A glimmer of light appeared that guided his heart to determine which direction he was stepping.
While Angga just smiled meaningfully, hiding the bitter guilt that he had not had time to embed the word sorry there.
"I am the cause of your suffering.it will never be this complicated if it never happens. Forgive me for not even being able to explain everything," Angga's inner self who was still focused on his wheel. There was a good reason for him to hide the truth, he didn't want his father's happiness to just vanish. Because if Kinara knew everything, she would definitely hate him so much. And it'll keep Evan away from his father.
"Thank you.it's been a hassle. Be careful on the road" Kinara said before heading out.
"I miss Evan, tomorrow's vacation brings him home."
"Yes sir, I'm working on it. Evan must also miss Opa," Kinara smiled back.

This morning's sun emits a warm glow that not only warms up, but also becomes a cheerful color that ushers every man with his new hopes.
So did Kinara who this time looked even more dazzling with a desperate hue. A belief in something he wants to fight for. No longer choose silence in the grim, torturing his own heart.
One message he sent, "back at work, I'm waiting in the usual place."
For hours, several times he saw his clothes remain silent. Jay never read the message. Even until working hours were up, there was no sign of him replying.
Kinara still stepped confidently towards the place, a simple cafe that was indeed his favorite place just to chat lightly unwinded. Choosing to sit on the edge of the glass window towered upwards, hoping to see the figure he was waiting for from a distance.
Fifteen minutes to nearly an hour, Jay had no news. I don't know what he's doing. Kinara was still calmly waiting for him, despite tucked in a ruffled thought for the child who might also be waiting for him to come home.
"Well, thirty minutes to go" said to himself, smiling consolingly.
Thirty minutes passed, Jay still had no news. Kinara moved on, not out of desperation. But there is a child that he certainly is more important to.
Kinara walked out ignoring the raindrops that seemed to be racing down to wet the arid soil. Keep running hiding the actual tears slowly drip.
While in that place, someone was in a frenzy with a glance to the left right looking for something that he did not find.
"Why was there a young woman sitting alone, like waiting for someone?" ask her to a waitress of the cafe.
"Yes there was Mas, was sitting here. He waited almost two hours. Just got out, there were not five minutes possible yet," replied the waiter.
"Thank you Mba." said Jay who immediately ran outside, wailing to and fro hoping to find it.
"Are you so stupid, until the rain is rich gini," Jay exclaimed when he was sure that the one in front of him right now was Kinara.
"Do you not love yourself, what if you get sick," he snapped again as he approached, dragging him to shade.
"Can't you order a taxi?" Jay is still in his bad tone. Yet Kinara only smiled faintly continuing to look at him.
"If I take a taxi, we won't see you now" Kinara replied lightly.
"You wait here, I'll get you a cab" Jay said, ignoring Kinara's attitude.
But Kinara held him back, "why don't you bring me home?" Jay was silent.
"Why? Can't do? Don't you want to?" urgently Kinara continued to stare at the two eyes of the dashing man in front of her.
"Her shoes are disappearing for no reason, is that your new habit?" kinara's speech sharpened.
"There's already someone more right on your side and Evan's. I'm nobody, not the person you need" Jay replied flatly.
Kinara smiled in response, "but I want you to be a nobody, to be the person that Evan and I need," Kinara said without letting go of her gaze, as she slowly hugged the burly figure.
"I need you Mas" Kinara lulled in Jay's arms, who was finally able to melt the harshness of Jay's attitude. Now reciprocated hugging Kinara tightly, not wanting her to let go again.
