My Destiny (End)'s

10° Ten

For weeks Kenzo ignored the message. But, this time he approved the request of the person who sent him the message. He changed his school clothes with casual clothes that are white T-shirts with blue jeans and black white sneakers. He combed his hair around his neck and then drove his motorbike towards a cafe.

He sat for thirty minutes until then someone wearing a black shirt suit and fantofel shoes waved at him. A middle-aged man sat in front of Kenzo enjoying his express coffee. Without further ado Kenzo immediately asked the man.

"Is there anything you want to meet?" ask Kenzo.

"Shh, you're a habit. Shouldn't you offer papa a drink first. Or at least you ask the news before asking the question papa, considering that we have not met for 5 years" said the middle-aged man.

"I'm not interested in papa news, '" said Kenzo ketus.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath facing the boy before him.

"You're still mad at me, papa?" ask the middle-aged man who was ignored by Kenzo. Five minutes later the middle-aged man's order came. And the man drank his expression before continuing the conversation with the boy before him.

"Ma'afin Papa, Kenzo." said the middle-aged man. However, Kenzo did not budge and remained in his residence.

"Really Papa, there is no intention to misahin you and Aqilla first. Papa also has no desire to hide everything to you," explained the man.

"It is too late, said Papa, it is too late. Papa remembers his request to Kenzo, so that Kenzo will always be on Aqilla's side and promises not to leave Aqilla. Kenzo holds Kenzo's promise to the end, but then papa takes Aqilla away from Kenzo. Papa separated us for no reason I know. Pops.....,"

"Everything because of Aqilla's request, ." said the man then interrupted Kenzo's words.

"Ap...what?? What does Papa mean?" kenzo asked with a frown not believing what the middle-aged man was doing.

"Yes, all that papa did was because of Aqilla's request. Papa knows separating you guys is the biggest mistake Papa and Mama ever made. It not only hurt you but also hurt Aqilla herself," explained the middle-aged man.

"If Aqilla knew she would also be sick just like I felt. Why would he do that?" ask Kenzo.

"Sir..I mean papa....?"

"Kenzo, besides you Aqilla has no one else. He has no other friends. You know for yourself that he tends to shut himself off to everyone. He had no emotions when dealing with everyone except fear and gloom. And that's why he doesn't want to depend on you all the time, Kenzo. He wants you to have a lot of friends and not just focus on him. He wants you to blend in with the others and not be like him. And he doesn't want you to pity him any more if you know that he's suffering from a heart defect.....," obviously the middle-aged man who of course made Kenzo was shocked in disbelief.

"heart disorder....? Papa's kidding." said Kenzo in disbelief.

"That's the reality Ken,,,,"

"How could Qilla be sick like that Pa,," said Kenzo, who now began to shed tears. It's the second time the macho guy has shed his tears and it's all because of one "Aqilla Geffi Arawindha" chick".

"You remember Qilla used to faint all of a sudden?" asked the middle-aged man and answered a nod by Kenzo.

"That's because of Qilla's disease, Ken. Qilla has a heart rhythm disorder where in someone who has an abnormal heart, the heart is unable to increase cardiac output to compensate for the decreased blood pressure. When in a state of rest, sufferers will feel fine, but they will faint if they continue to do this activity because of the body's sudden need for oxygen. Exertional syncope, that's what the doctor mentioned," explained the middle-aged man.

"Qilla, chose to follow Papa moved to LA because he wanted to be treated there. Actually, papa didn't force him to come with papa and mama to LA if only he didn't want to. Because papa can go alone and Qilla can be accompanied by his mama and you in Indonesia. But, Qilla insisted on going to LA and getting treatment there on the grounds that she did not want to be your burden." explained the middle-aged man again.

"How could Qilla think that she would burden me Pa" Kenzo said.

"That's because Qilla loves you so much, Ken, that's why she wants to look perfect in front of you. He doesn't want you to know his weakness. And he did not want to make you burdened and pity him for his illness. She just wants you to really love her as a woman, even though she has a lot of flaws compared to other women,"

Kenzo fell silent. He tried to understand Aqilla's reason. But, he still did not think that the girl even thought about it and always thought about it above all else. Perhaps, it was Kenzo who was narrow-minded because he was trying to avoid Aqilla. Not only was he still not accepted because the girl had left him first, but also because of the threatening messages he received that contained that person would destroy someone he loved most.

But this time, Kenzo is determined not to shy away from Aqilla anymore. He no longer cared about the mysterious message. One thing he wanted to do this time was to always be beside Aqilla no matter what. Not because he felt sorry for the girl, but he had more pity for himself who could no longer bear the tightness he felt when he could not do what he wanted to do together with the girl.
