LOVE THE OLD MAN'S

PAIN

With a heart full of questions and a sense of disbelief, Nayla sets out on her bike where Nayla and Kenzo used to meet.

In the gazebo near a small river on the outskirts of the Nayla rice field waiting for Kenzo's arrival after he called her before leaving.

"I don't believe in all this? is Kenzo really engaged? why didn't he tell me?" nayla said in her already complicated heart and mind.

"Nayla." call Kenzo who's already standing behind her.

Nayla turned her back, between her longing and her anger.

Nayka walked up to Kenzo until in front of Kenzo, Nayla slapped a slap on Kenzo's white cheek.

"PLAQUE"

"What does all this mean? why are you doing all this to me?" nayla shouted with tears flowing down her cheeks.

"Nayla listen to me first, I can explain everything to you, you have to believe me." said Kenzo clasping Nayla's hand directly on the rough edge by Nayla.

"I don't want to hear any more Ken, why are you telling me to come home if you don't love me Ken?" look at Nayla with fiery eyes.

"I do love you Nayla, and I was with you, until Papa called me and said that his company needed a huge injection of funds, and the only way I should get engaged to Safitri, he said, Papa didn't force me to marry him, just told me to get engaged, after the funds were received Papa, and I was in contact with Safitri for five months I was going to leave him." Kenzo explained trying to convince Nayla.

"Is it so easy for you to escape Mr. Burhan's power? you can die in his hands if you leave Safitri." said Nayla conditioned with pressure.

"I can persuade Safitri, as if he were the one who left me, I'm pretty sure Safitri would do it if I asked" Kenzo grabbed Nayla's hand and held her in love.

"I'm not sure Safitri will do it, you know Safitri has always loved you very much" Nayla said coldly as she took off Kenzo's grip.

"Therefore, because Safitri loves me, I'm very sure he will do it for me" said Kenzo, who was desperate to accept his papa's decision.

"Then why didn't you tell me before? why is it that after this happens you tell me?" ask Nayla riled up.

"I've been intending to tell you, but when we met, it turned out that two days ago Mr. Burhan was advancing the date of his engagement, which was yesterday and I just found out that you've come to call me, I wanted to pick you up back then but I couldn't get out papa banned me from going anywhere." Kenzo explained sadly.

"Why can't you refuse all this Ken? why would I be the one to get hurt?" nayla asked with a heart that was still hurting.

"I can't resist Nay, how can I close my eyes to the destruction of my papa company?" kenzo looked into Nayla's face.

"I don't know, now that our relationship is over before we start, you've hurt Ken's heart" Nayla said, looking back at Kenzo's eyes with a wounded heart.

"I'm going to start this relationship with you, Nay, I'm going to prove that I only love you, and only want you" Kenzo said kneeling before Nayla.

"I'm sorry Nay, give me the chance to finish my engagement with Safitri for just five months Nay, give me Nay time, I love you so much" Kenzo said.

"All right, I'm giving you a chance to prove that you really love me, but I'm asking you not to show your face in front of me anymore" Nayla said, staring intently at Kenzo, then walk away to his bike place and leave Kenzo alone with great sadness.

"I love you Nay, I will prove that if I love you, you will be mine because I know you love me too." Kenzo murmured with deep sadness.

With her heart still injured Nayla runs her motorcycle towards the house of her best friend Zanna who disappeared after the incident hit Ardian.

" Zanna." call Nayla when she finds out Zanna is sitting on an old bench planting flowers in her front yard.

"Nayla's? what are you doing here?" asked Zanna who was very surprised Nayla was in her house early in the morning.

"I want to talk to you now" Nayla said as she sat on an old bench in the courtyard.

"Speak what Nay?" asked Zanna looking at Nayla who looked angry and sad.

"Why didn't you say that Kenzo was suddenly betrothed to his father?" nayla asked with anger and disappointment.

"Ohh, that's how I can tell you you look happy when we talk about Kenzo, I can't tell you" Zanna said, sitting next to Nayla.

"What empty tooth is this Zanna, you're not telling me because I can't afford to be hurt like that? now I'm sicker Zanna is more after I decided to go home and want to build a future with her" Nayla said with a more hurt heart.

"And again Nay, I have one reason why I didn't tell you about Kenzo, because in our village, you've talked about a lot of people, if you're Mr. Ardian's future wife, Mr. Ardian proposed to you and your Mother's Father accepted it even though your Father and Mother were still waiting for the final decision from you." explained Zanna looking at Nayla with a little fear.

"Whataa? so I mean it by saying that Ardian is my future husband!" nayla said with even more hurt feelings.

"Yes that's what Nay's gossip is, but all decisions are in your hands." Zanna patted Nayla on the shoulder.

"How can I accept Ardian Zan, Mr. Ardian is our teacher, his age is far from me, let alone I don't love him, I love you Kenzo and Kenzo loves me." nayla said with deep regret to Ardian.

"Nayla, even though you love Kenzo and Kenzo love you, but you know Kenzo is engaged to Safitri, and you know Safitri Mr. Burhan's son is the richest man in our village." zanna opened Nayla's eyes.

"Kenzo promised me that he would end his engagement to Safitri soon" Nayla said, looking at Zanna seriously.

"Forget Kenzo Nay, mending you accept Mr. Ardian's proposal" said Zanna persuaded Nayla.

Nayla looked at Zanna in disbelief as Zanna said that.

"You know Nay, you can be happy with all the riches that will be yours if you want to accept Mr. Ardian's love, and again you are young, your future is long, while the age of Ardian has almost half a century, especially with the condition of Mr. Ardian who is sickly, you only wait a few months, you only wait a few months, and if Mr. Ardian has died all that belongs to Mr. Ardian will be all yours Nay." continued Zanna trying to persuade Nayla to accept Ardian's proposal.
