Love And Wounds

Kevin's Decision

Keysha retrieves the car keys handed over by Kevin. The girl planned to take a walk for a while to just wash her eyes because it was too long to be at home all day. Keysha set up playlists of songs on his car tape. Slowly, he drove the car into the street.

During the trip, the girl drove her car while humming. This is also one of the cures for his sense of boredom.

Keysha stopped his car right at a coffee shop.

"Today I need sugar" the girl muttered as she got out of her car.

Keysha entered the place. He looked around to find a comfortable seating position.

Keysha chose one of the seats located at the very back corner. The seat he likes the most is certainly the back corner. Not only in the coffee shop, even at school the girl chose to sit in the back. Although she used to be a smart student, Keysha often avoids questions from teachers after explaining the lesson.

Shortly thereafter, Keysha's order arrived. Moccacino ice and choco lava cake accompanied her this afternoon. Keysha tasted the cake. He was nostalgic for the past. The girl looked back at the still faithful bracelet coiled around her left arm. I don't know why the man is still in his memory. She promised to try to forget her past for her husband.

Keysha distanced his cake and chose to drink the moccacino in front of him. Although he felt like enjoying it again, Keysha tried to hold it back.

"After this I will not eat cake, because after tasting it my memory returns to you. I should have realized that right now there was a heart I had to take care of." Keysha muttered.

Shortly afterwards the girl tried to remove her bracelet. But his activities stopped as his phone rang. Kevin's name was on the phone screen. Keysha immediately raised a call from Kevin.

"Key, maybe I'll be home late tonight. Because there's still a lot of office business I have to handle. You better get some sleep, and don't wait for me like yesterday." said a voice from across the phone.

"okay."

"What are you doing?" ask Kevin.

"I was outside, at home it kept making me feel a little bored" Keysha said, chuckling.

"Oh, then have fun" said Kevin who then disconnected his phone.

Keysha smiled as he looked at the screen of his phone.

"Key, I can't believe he's saying my name like that." Keysha muttered.

Keysha also moved from his seat to the cashier table to make payment transactions. Keysha forgot his previous activity of removing the bracelet. And in the end the bracelet was still pretty circular on her left arm.

....

Elsewhere, Kevin in serious mode seemed to think hard. In the room the man is not alone but with Riko.

"I don't think I can say it at the moment. I still need time to explain everything. At the moment the girl seemed very happy, and I couldn't say anything that made her fall straight to the bottom of the deepest abyss." Kevin murmured.

The man was still confused on how to tell Keysha about Icha. But Kevin also felt unable to hide about Icha from his wife. Moreover, now that Ardi has kidnapped Icha and Varo, that fact makes him a helpless man.

"I'm just giving advice as a friend. There is really no hidden purpose behind it. If you think that I still want your woman, it's wrong! I'm more concerned with our friendship. He's yours anyway, and I won't take him." explained Riko.

"I'm sorry for making you obey me" said Riko.

"No problem" said the man, patting Kevin on the shoulder.

Kevin exhaled violently.

"Facing him is not easy. I know exactly what my stepbrother looks like. He's greedy for power. Taking my wife out of her hands won't do it with her bare hands. At least there should be something I exchange to make up for it." there was a frustrated tone from Kevin's words.

"I'll ask Papa to take my place for Ardi. I've really given up this time. The important thing is one, I can get them out of there" the man said.

Riko looked at Kevin with sadness. The man knew Kevin's struggle to reach this point wasn't easy. Although he was a legitimate heir, but his father was pressing hard for his son to become a competent figure.

"Maybe I'll live happily after letting go of everything. There is no more burden on my shoulders." continued Kevin while commenting on his smile but his heart ached.

Riko can't do anything. He was only able to calm his superiors without daring to act. Because if Riko has started to move, then what he fears is the life of his son and his best friend's wife.

Ardi is a cunning and thirsty for power. His greed blinded everything. At first the man was a submissive little brother. Kevin also likes it even though the two people are different mothers. But as we get older, everything changes. A figure known innocent, now become smarter and cunning.

Kevin's phone suddenly rang. He saw it on the screen an unknown number. Kevin can already guess who called him at the moment. The man immediately answered his call.

"How's my stepbrother?" a voice from across there. The sound was echoing in Kevin's ears.

"Where are you hiding it?" ask Kevin straight to the point.

Laughing sounds were clearly heard from across the phone. Now Ardi has managed to make Kevin look miserable. Usually the man seems calm even though Ardi threatens him to kill Kevin though.

"Hide what? I don't understand." I'm the guy.

"Don't play games with me Ardi!"

"You were the one playing with me! You know, I'm looking forward to the times when you feel frustrated and can't think hard anymore. A time when I can laugh at your defeat." said Ardi.

Kevin clenched his hand. Try to face Ardi with a little patience.

"Please, give him back to me. I'll obey your will but please, don't take him away from me." Kevin sounds so pathetic. Desperation and destruction blend into one. There was no other choice but to fulfill Ardi's request.

"Well, I never would have thought that luring you out with it would make you quickly obey my will. It was beyond my expectations." said the man.

Kevin clenched his hand tightly. Trying to resist the emotional turmoil in his chest. Trying to stay patient so that his stepbrother can return Icha and Varo.

"Then take care of it first, then I'll put them back in your hands." Ardi immediately turned off his phone connection unilaterally. The man developed his winning smile as he managed to achieve what he wanted.
