Love Kania

The Part 46

Arya stood looking at Kania who was looking around the room. The man's face looked sad with tears that he was trying to endure. Stepping slowly, Arya approached Kania and stood right in front of her. "I'm sorry."

Kania saw a face trying to hold back the crying. I don't know, what he could do because of the breakup was the path they had to take. "Why apologize, because there's nothing to forgive. I know, you did it for your sister's sake and I can't force you to choose because your sister is your choice." Kania walked up to him and wiped away the tears on his face.

"There is nothing to cry about because this is our destiny. I love you and Tania, but I can't be selfish because I didn't expect you to. I'm just a woman who stopped by for a moment in your heart and it's time for me to go." Kania lowered her face and wiped her tears.

"After my departure, please take care of your health. Don't go to bed too late because you have to work. Remember Tania, she still needs you. I'll ask Bi Suri to make you some honey tea like I used to make for you because it can keep your stamina." Kania tried to smile between her falling tears.

"Thank you for all you have given me. I hope you're always happy." Kania then took her bag and stepped towards the door of the room, but her steps stopped when her hands were reached by Arya and now they looked at each other.

In front of him, Kania saw Arya who was now looking at him with her reddened eyes. The clear water was still hanging and slowly falling on his handsome face.

"Why are you crying? Remove those tears, Tania will cry too." Slowly, Arya grabbed Kania's body into her arms. His body was tightly embraced by the man. Her crying voice could Kania hear hunting in her ears. His embrace felt so warm that it made Kania hug him back.

"I beg you, I'm sorry. I love you so much, but I can't have you. I will sacrifice this love because I have to fulfill my promise to my father. Ryan's happiness is with you and I can't take away that happiness. I beg you to forgive me." Arya hugged Kania tightly and apologized to her.

Hearing Arya's words, Kania hugged the man tightly. Now, his feelings are being played back by fate. Their love must be sacrificed for someone they cannot afford to disappoint. "If you could sacrifice, I would do the same. If Ryan means anything to you, I'll be by his side. I'll make her as happy as you expect, but are you ready for it?"

Arya let go of her embrace and looked at Kania who was staring at her. "I'll be ready even if I have to endure the pain. I'm just a brother who wants happiness for his sister even if I have to sacrifice my happiness, I'll be willing."

Kania smiled and clasped Arya's hand while dipping her. "This is my last kiss as your wife and now allow me to give up that status."

Both hands of the man then he put on both cheeks Kania and slowly, Arya kissed Kania forehead. Closing her eyes, Arya kissed her. "Kania, today I'm officially divorcing you." Not feeling her tears fall, as well as Kania who can not hold back her tears.

Arya let go of her hand and stepped out. He threw Tania and went into the little girl's room. While Kania, still standing glued while crying sobbed. His legs that had been supporting his body, suddenly sat down with a cry that he could not stand. Seeing Kania, Ryan rushed towards her. Gently, the man touched Kania's shoulder and hugged her. "I'm sorry."

For a moment, there was a sudden sense of anger when he saw Ryan who was now sitting in front of him, but when he saw him who was now crying in front of him made Kania become melted. How could he hate that man while he loved him so much. How could he hate that Arya loves him so much.

"Ryan, get me out of here, please." Ryan nodded and helped Kania to get up. Before leaving, Kania still had time to look at the house. It felt, he would miss the atmosphere of the house that held a million memories that were hard for him to forget.

Without saying goodbye, Kania rushed off and resigned to where Ryan would take her. On the bike, Kania rested her body on Ryan's back with both hands holding her tightly. While Ryan, could only hear Kania's sobs. Slowly, his right hand touched Kania's hand and squeezed it gently. "I'll make you happy, I promise." Ryan smiled among the happy tears that had now fallen.

Meanwhile, Arya is persuading Tania who is now crying because of Kania's departure. Although it has been persuaded, but the little girl still whines to make Arya shed tears. "Dear, don't be like that. Didn't Tania promise me not to cry anymore?"

"Tania wants to see mom, Pa. Tania wants to hug mom." Tania's whine is still crying. Despite being persuaded, Tania still cried until the little girl was silent because she was tired of crying. Arya looked at her daughter who was now asleep with a sobbing still heard. Gently, Arya stroked her daughter's hair and wiped the sweat that was stuck on her forehead.

"I'm sorry, Papa, son. Forgive Papa." Back Arya shed tears and sat glued while leaning on the side of the bed. The hopes and fantasies that had once been imagined now flashed in front of him. How he had imagined that he would live happily with Kania. How happy she would be if Kania were to be a wife and mother to her daughter, but the imagination only remains a memory because Kania is no longer hers.

Ryan continued to drive until the bike stopped on the side of the road. Kania who was still leaning, slowly raised her head when she heard the sound of the waves chasing. Suddenly, his gaze was fixed on the expanse of sea that was in front of him. "Come, we're going down."

Kania then went down and stood looking at the open ocean which was only a few meters from where he stood. Slowly, Kania walked up to a stretch of white sand and chose to sit on a rock. While propping her face on the knees that are now in her bend, Kania looked at the pounding waves that are chasing each other. For a moment, his heart was so peaceful. Closing her eyes, Kania sat while hearing the sound of waves that turned out to be so sounding in her ears.

Seeing him, Ryan then sat down beside him and looked at Kania who was now closed. "Is this mood you still miss?" ryan asked which made Kania slowly open her eyes.

The beach atmosphere is very liked by Kania since Ryan took her to the beach in the past. From there, Kania began to like the beach to make her forget her sadness and sadness if she was on the beach. "Why still ask if you know what I like? Because of that, you brought me here, didn't you?"

Ryan smiled. "If you're sad, just tell me let me bring you here. Look, isn't this place so beautiful?" Ryan looked around the place that was still beautiful with coconut trees growing on the beach with a stretch of white sand that stretched wide.

Kania also looked towards the man's view and Kania admitted, the place was very beautiful.

"Now, can I have your heart like it used to?" Ryan's question suddenly distracted Kania who had seen the open ocean. His gaze was now fixed on the man who was now staring at him.

"Are you serious about how you feel about me? Do you really still love me?"

Kania fell silent and looked at Ryan who was now smiling at her. "I know, it's not that easy to get you back to loving me, but I'm not gonna give up because I know, it's still in your heart even if it's just a little, isn't it?"

With confidence Ryan said that to make Kania smile wryly. "I'd better go." Kania got up and held up her bag.

"Where are you going? I'll drive you."

"No need, because I don't know where I'm going. I don't have a home for me to return to. I have no brothers to visit. Ah, I'd better stay at Bastian's." Kania smiled even though that was not the goal.

"no need. You better come with me." Ryan picked up the bag that Kania was holding while grabbing the girl's hand. Kania who doesn't understand just follows where Ryan will take her.

In front of a luxurious house, their motorbike stopped. The house, located on the outskirts of the city and away from the crowd, looked well maintained. The yard of the house was very spacious with a variety of flowers planted neatly. The house is dominated by wooden ornaments that look luxurious but simple. From the outside, the house was like a renovated old house building.

"You're gonna stay here." Ryan opened the door and walked inside. Likewise with Kania who followed the steps of Ryan who now stopped in front of a room door. "Sleep in this room. Don't worry because you're not alone because Bi Mar and his son will be with you."

Ryan opened the room door and placed the bag on the table beside the bed. Looking around the room, Kania felt comfortable. The atmosphere began to dim, making the atmosphere in the place look very peaceful.

"Ryan, whose house is this? Why did you bring me here?" asked Kania who was curious about the house.

"This is my house, exactly our house."

Kania was surprised and looked towards the man. "Don't joke, I don't like your jokes." Kania looks upset with Ryan's words to make him choose to leave the room.

"I'm not kidding because this is the house my father left me. And, I'm right that this house will be your home if we get married later."

Kania sat in the house that turned out to be quite spacious. A set of wooden chairs neatly arranged on that terrace. While leaning her back, Kania leaned against the wooden chair and looked at the sky that was starting to twilight. "Do you think I want to marry you?" asked Kania who made Ryan sit in front of her.

"Don't you want to be Ryan Wicaksana's wife? Should I persuade you until you want to? Or do you want me to wait for you to love me again? Okay, I'll wait if that's what you want." Ryan looked straight at Kania who was now looking at him.

"Ryan, isn't that too soon and I just got divorced from your sister, what will people think of us? Aren't you ashamed of marrying your sister's ex-wife?"

Ryan smiled and grabbed Kania's hand and grasped it tightly. "I don't care about people's views of us because I know who I'm marrying. Don't you guys just marry contracts and I don't have to feel guilty because there's no love between you. That's right, right?"

Kania smiled wryly as she turned her gaze to the courtyard overgrown with various flowers. "If you knew that your brother loved me and sacrificed his feelings for you, would you still be able to talk like that?" inner Kania while exhaling her breath violently.

Holding Kania's hand, Ryan sat down while leaning his head on the girl's shoulder. Ryan looked so spoiled that his gaze was sidetracked on a woman in her 40s who had come with a little girl who was about 5 years old towards them.

"Good night, Young Master." The woman looked to pay respect to Ryan and also Kania while bowing her half.

"Night, Bi Mar. Is Bi Mar ready to stay here?" ryan asked who was standing in front of them.

"Already, Sir. Aunt and Aunt Nina will live and work here. Can you start working now?" ask the woman who looks enthusiastic.

"Already, Bi. For tonight, please make us dinner. Oh yes, Bi, this is my future wife who will stay here. I asked Aunt to take care of him and help him if he needs anything."

Hearing Ryan's words made Kania squeeze the hand of the man who had been holding his hand.

"I'm Kania, Bi. Well then, let's go inside, I'm sorry it must be cold outside." Kania then grabbed the little girl's hand and invited her into the house.

Seeing Kania's attitude, Ryan smiled and followed the girl behind him. That night, for a moment Kania can forget her sadness because of her separation with Arya and Tania. For a moment, Kania was comforted by Nina's funny behavior which made her think of Tania.

From the kitchen, Kania could see Ryan who had just glanced at her. With a smile, Ryan continued to look at her as if she was so happy that Kania was now with her. Looking at her behavior, Kania pretended to be indifferent and uncaring to the point that she was surprised when Ryan grabbed her hand and took her to the porch of the house while looking at the star-studded black sky. "I love you and I'll make you happy. I promise." Hugging Kania from behind, Ryan kissed Kania's cheeks and looked at the black sky studded with starlight. Kania was still glued and looked up at the black sky and hoped to find happiness there.
