Love Kania

The Part 10

The two men seemed to speed up their steps as they arrived at the doorstep of the cafe. They entered without significant obstacles, because the guards at the cafe were indeed assigned only to watch for the cafe not to be entered by underage boys.

Seeing Arya, the owner of the cafe immediately approached her. "I'm sorry, if I may know, did you come here for fun?"

"I don't want to have fun. Where's the girl?" The look in Arya's eyes made the man smile because he knew he would definitely get some more money from her.

"His dream, you're so obsessed with him that you've looked for him twice in this place, but this time I think you're too late."

"Just tell me where he is, I'll pay you more!" Arya's words looked earnest until the man smiled again.

Seeing Arya talking to her boss, Mitha walked over to her. "Hey, are you looking for Kania?"

Arya turned her eyes to the girl. "Where is he? I know you're a good woman. So, I asked you to tell me where Kania is. Right now, he's desperate to make her do something this desperate."

"All right, I'll get you to meet him."

"Hey, Mitha. Do you want to get fired?" The man he used to call the boss looked at him with a face that looked emotional.

"As for the boss, I won't refuse if I get fired." Mitha unhesitatingly left her boss and took the two men upstairs.

In front of one of the rooms that had not been locked, Mitha stopped her footsteps. "Look at him inside."

The two men then walked in and found a man who was unbuttoning a girl's clothes who looked resigned to the bed. Without further ado, Bastian immediately pulled the man's body and floated the raw bogem towards his face until the man fell down on the floor of the room.

Kania who slowly opened her eyes looked surprised as she saw two familiar men standing right in front of her. "you guys? What are you guys doing here?" Kania got up from the bed and approached the man who was already sitting on the floor while fingering his face that was throbbing in pain. "Are you okay, Mister?" Kania tried to help the man stand up, but his hand was crushed by the man until Kania fell backwards.

"I don't need your help. If you know this, from the beginning I won't use you." The man looked upset and walked out of the room. An angry-looking Bastian wanted to chase after her, but Arya immediately stopped him.

The two men looked at Kania who was already sitting on the side of the bed while bowing her face. "Kania, can you explain all this?" Bastian looked angry until his hands clenched.

"Here you go, you better get out of here." Kania was about to leave them, but her hand was suddenly grabbed by Arya. "How much do you need? I'll give you whatever you ask, as long as you don't do this despicable thing again."

Hearing Arya's words, Kania stopped her steps. "I don't need mercy from you. I can make my own money without begging you. I ... " Kania was unable to continue her sentence and only tears slowly fell without being able to contain her.

"Kania, I know you don't want to do it, so please don't do it." Bastian tries to persuade his best friend, but Kania can no longer back down. Anyway, tonight he has to come home with the money.

"I'm sorry, Bas. I can't because my mother needs to be treated immediately. I don't want to lose him, Bas." Kania cries to make Bastian become melted.

"Let him go." Arya no longer persuaded Kania to abandon her intention, but to let her do what she wanted to do.

"Hey, what do you mean? Not to persuade him, but you let him." Bastian looked disappointed at the attitude of the man he had just known.

"Let her be, for regret always comes too late and I hope you will not regret it if your mother feels very disappointed that her daughter has committed a sin in order to earn money for her self-medication. Do you think your mother would be proud of your wrongful sacrifice?"

Kania. What Arya said so struck her heart. Unknowingly, the clear water droplets fell back to make him sit down and cry while covering his face. She was embarrassed in front of the two men. They seem to care about her a lot, but she ignores their concern.

Arya walked up to him and looked at him who was now crying. "Kania, I know you don't want to do it, because that's undo your intentions. I know, I have no right to interfere in your life, but I have to interfere because my daughter is expecting you so much. Tania keeps crying because she misses you and I as her father just want to beg you, please come back and give your affection for her." Arya tears at remembering her daughter who is crying expecting the woman in front of her, while Kania also tears at remembering her friendship with the little girl.

"What happened to Tania?" Kania lifted her face and looked at Arya who was now in front of her and how shocked the girl was when she saw the tears hanging on the man's eyes.

"Since she woke up and didn't see you, she kept crying. Even though I persuaded her, she kept crying and kept calling you. I tried to call you, but your phone is off. It's a good thing that I met him, until I found out about your mother's problem," pointed Arya at Bastian who had been looking at them.

"I'll cover your mother's medical expenses and you won't have to do this job anymore. I want you to come back to my house and work for me. I just need your love and attention for Tania, that's all."

Kania looked at Arya and her memory returned to the little girl. Slowly, Kania hugged her and cried in her arms. "Thank you, thank you. I'll give you whatever Tania asks of me. In fact, if my life means anything to him, I'll give it to him." Kania looked solemn and Arya could only stroke the girl's back.

"Alright, we better hurry up and take care of your mother's move to the central hospital. Once everything's settled, you'll stay at my house." Kania nodded and finally the three of them left the place.

At the hospital, Kania sees her mother lying down. The woman sees Kania like a stranger, because her mother no longer remembers her. All her memories in the past had been erased as the departure of her husband who had to die at her hands. Now, Kania only hopes that her mother can recover and remember her again. He wanted to feel back the woman's warm embrace and the affectionate call he used to hear.

"Don't I get to hold her?"

The doctor did not answer because there was little concern that her mother would refuse and scream hysterically if anyone approached her. That was why, both of her mother's hands were tied at the side of her bed. "I'm sorry, Kania. Do you know for yourself how your mother would react if someone approached her?"

Kania nodded and could only resign. Although he looks disappointed, but he must remain sincere.

All the process of moving his mother has been completed. Likewise with all the costs that must be paid, it has been borne by Arya. Although the cost he spent was not small, but it did not mean much to him because the happiness of his daughter was far more valuable than his money.

"Bas, do you want to stop by my house first?" asked Arya who already seemed familiar with the man.

"It doesn't matter, anyway he works for me and that's the pay for him."

"Kania, do your job well. Don't let Arya down on you, okay?"

The girl nodded and hugged her best friend. "Thank you, Bas."

"Then I go first. If you don't mind, can I come to see Kania once in a while?"

Arya smiled and nodded. "Come any time because my door will always be open for you." Again, the two men shook hands and hugged. Bastian left them.

"All right, now let's go home." Just as they got into the car, Arya's phone suddenly rang.

"Papa, where's mama?" Tania made a video call and asked Kania to her.

"Mama is here." Kania takes the phone from Arya's hand, Tania smiles and looks happy when she sees Kania.

"Mama!" Tania who looks happy.

"Tania don't cry anymore, huh? Mama and Papa will be home soon." The little girl smiled and nodded. Seen, a look of excitement on his face when he saw his father and Kania who he would soon meet.

Upon arriving home, Tania ran over and hugged Kania tightly. His two hands were so tightly coiled around Kania's neck. Seeing her daughter's behavior, Arya smiled and gently stroked her head. "Honey, let Mama rest first, yeah. Poor Mama's still tired."

"No need, let it be. I'll accompany him." Kania then invited the little girl to play even though her body was so tired because last night, she could not fall asleep because she thought about her mother. Arya who seemed to understand, then told Bi Suri to take Tania.

"Well, you rest. Come on, I'll take you to your room."

Arya then headed to the room that was used by Kania. "This is your room, rest."

Kania nodded and rushed into the room, but her steps came to a halt and saw Arya who was slowly leaving her. "Wait!!"

Arya looked towards him. "What's wrong?"

"Thank you, I owe you one. I promise to give my love to Tania. I promise." Kania shed tears, while Arya just smiled and nodded.

"Rest." Arya then left.

Kania laid her body on that very soft bed. His eyes were fixed on the ceiling of the room. Slowly, the clear circle fell back while remembering his life story like a movie played back in front of him. When she is desperate, fate brings her to Tania, the little girl who needs a mother's affection. "I will love you with all my heart. I know what it's like to miss a mother's embrace. Therefore, I will give you my love and hope, God will give my mother another hug." Kania closed her eyes and began to lull in her beautiful dreams. A dream makes him happy for a moment.

For almost two hours Kania fell asleep and Tania was no longer crying. The little girl seemed to be playing by herself and waiting for Kania who was still asleep. Although he wanted to meet and play with Kania, but he knew that the woman was resting and did not want to be disturbed.

"Darling, do you want to see your mom?" The little girl nodded when asked by her father.

"In a moment, yeah, kid. Looks like you're still sleeping and Tania shouldn't bother you, can you?" The little girl nodded and smiled at her father.

The door of the room suddenly opened. The father and son stared at the door. Tania who saw Kania coming out of the room smiling at him then ran towards him. "Mama." The little girl was carried by Kania.

"Tania loves Mama." The little girl suddenly blurted out a sentence that made Kania touched.

"Mama loves Tania too." Kania hugged her and kissed her two cheeks.

"Mom don't go again, yeah. Tania doesn't want to lose Mama." Kania nodded and once again hugged her.

"Come, Ma, we'll sit with Papa." Take the little girl while looking at Arya who is temporarily looking at them.

On the sofa chair, Tania sat in the middle between Kania and Arya. The little girl seemed to laugh as she watched the cartoon film she was watching. Looking at her adorable manner, Kania made an occasional smile while gently stroking her head.

Tania leaned her body on the back of the sofa and looked at her father and Kania in turn. The little girl smiled and slowly she stood up and hugged Arya from behind with her hands coiled around her father's neck. "Pa, don't let Mama go again, yeah. Tania loves Mama and Tania wants Mama to stay here forever with us. Can you, right, Pa?" Tania's sudden remark made the two shocked.

"Jawab, Dad. Mama's gonna stay with us, right?"

Arya looks confused. How he should explain to his daughter that what he wants cannot be granted.

"Tania, Papa can't because ... "

"Mama will stay with Tania, Mama promises to stay with Tania." Kania spontaneously cuts Arya's speech because she sees Tania's face that looks like she wants to cry. Hearing Kania's words, the little girl smiled and hugged her father while kissing his cheeks repeatedly.

Meanwhile, Arya, can't do anything because Kania has agreed to her daughter's request. "Did he really mean it?" inner Arya who looked at Kania as if she wanted to ask for an explanation from him.
