"Aura, that was indeed a painful occurrence for me as well. But you have to realize that Kania is dead. Because it's his destiny."
Aura was speechless hearing Kansha's statement. He glared with anger.
“For you, Kania is worthless. But for everyone, Kania is much more valuable to defend than you.” Reply Aura. “You have no right to seize what Kania has. Who are you to so boldly get rid of Kania to be the only one? You're nothing but trash, Kansha. And a scum like you should be in the trash instead of dreaming of becoming a princess.” Sharp follow.
Kansha jerks. His heart felt a little throbbing as Aura insulted him. What's wrong if trash seems to want to be a princess? Is this his fault with being a foster child?
But instead of replying angrily, Kansha instead smiled making Aura frown.
“I admit I did come from a garbage can. No one wants me. I have to be thankful that Grace Williams would take good care of me. But I'm not that bad at removing Kania from her family. Everything is just a mere accident.”
The corner of Aura's lips lifted slightly, “Thank God if you want to admit that you are indeed a trash. But I still can't be satisfied. Kania's body is still bobbing in the ocean while you're still living well here. And now to make up for it, enjoy the gift of consolation for the sad and lonely Kania there. Enjoy every hatred that people will inflict on you. Never try to defend yourself if you really love Kania.” Aura said.
After saying that, the woman got into her car and left Kansha alone.
After Aura died, Kansha did not leave immediately. He instead sat on the park chair where Kania and Aura always spent time together.
Kansha felt a breeze suddenly blow. The leaves of the tree behind him waving quietly carried a chill on his back head. Kansha is lying on the park chair. He closed his eyes and the breeze directly touched his head gently. It felt as if Kani was the one who stroked her hair.

Alan's at the airport. After risking an extream that might threaten his career, Alan lands safely. He called his sister, Alfin.
“Halo, assalamu’alaikum mas.” Say hello to Alfin from across the phone.
“Waalaikum greetings, Fin. How?” ask Alan without further ado.
“I've been looking for Kansha everywhere, but she's nowhere. His phone is not even active. I'm frustrated looking for him, mas!” lamented Alfin.
Hearing this, Alan was increasingly troubled. Kansha is in a worrying state at the moment. The woman never vent her emotions when she is in trouble. But instead, Kansha always does something that is sometimes dangerous and risky. Just like in the hospital. Instead of getting angry or crying to scream, he directly stabbed his pulse with an intravenous needle because of his guilt for Kania.
You could say, Kansha's mental condition always dived when referring to Kania.
“Now pick up mas first. Who will look for it.” Mumpling Alan.
“Hah? Don't tell mas—“
“Iya, mas at the airport now.” Alan said understanding Alfin's intentions.
“Double shit! How can I do it?” alfin was surprised.
“Your dream yes!” reprove Alan.
Alfin only grimaced a little. He unintentionally said it so surprised.
“The end of the action is always beyond reason. How can I go back to Jakarta? What about the passengers? Who will drive the plane when we get home?” ask Alfin berantuk.
“Let's answer. Now just pick up the mas first. And beware, do not tell mother about the return of mas.” Said Alan while warning his sister who sometimes like a leaky bucket.
“Although I didn't tell you, you will know sooner or later. Get ready to be hit with rice coats.” Ejek Alfin's.
“Just pick up, you chatty basics!”
Alfin screeched, "Please wait in the parking lot."

After calling his sister. Alan was sitting in the airport waiting chair. While waiting for her sister, she contacted Kansha.
Sorry the number you are going to is not active or out of range. Please try a few more moments.
Alan called Kansha again and again the answer remained the same.
Sorry the number you are going to is not active or out of range. Please try a few more moments.
Alan clucked. What really happened to Kansha. Where is that woman? Alan was worried and anxious.
He also did not know what places Kansha used to go when she was in trouble. Alan realized that he did not recognize Kansha completely. Unlike Kansha who can read her mind, she is very bad. When Kansha is sad or in trouble, she doesn't even know what happened. He always lost quickly with his sister. Alan has always been number two knowing what happened to Kansha. And Alan felt sorry. He was always absent when Kansha needed him.
Tree house!
Suddenly those two words crossed his mind. Alan remembered that one of the places Kansha used to go and no one knew was just a tree house. Alan even remembers that Kansha once mentioned that she was the only one ever taken to a tree house. So it's likely that Kansha is there.
And as the universe asserts Alan's speculation, Alfin arrives on time gasping for air.
“Mas, I told you to wait in the parking lot instead at—“
Unfinished Alfin nagged, Alan immediately pulled Alfin's hand and ran back. Alfin who was exhausted from running now had to run again because he was dragged by Alan without explanation.
Before long, the two brothers were already outside the airport.
“Where is the car?” ask Alan impatiently.
“Disana.” Appoint Alfin on a black range rover car.
“Car key?” Alan Pinta. Alfin immediately handed it over without thinking for long.
After getting the car keys, Alan then immediately released his suitcase and ran towards the car. Not yet Alfin caught up, Alan immediately drove Alfin's car and left Alfin.
“Eh, uh mas! Stop!” alfin panicked. He ran after the car while dragging Alan's suitcase but unfortunately the car did not stop.
Alfin who was exhausted from running after the car immediately clucked in annoyance.
“Basic Alan jerk!” upset ass. This was the first time he had cursed at his brother.
After swearing, he kicked the suitcase as if it was Alan out loud. But after that she instead—
“Aduh!” ringis Alfin held onto her right leg which was throbbing pain. He cursed in the heart. Her brother and suitcase are both annoying!

Alan has reached the edge of the forest. He drove his car in a large yard of a house, where he and Kansha used to drive their vehicles. Afterwards, Alan comes down and runs into a father-father whom Alan knows to be the keeper of the Kansha tree house.
“There can I help, mas?” his name was Ardi, friendly.
“I'm Alan. I've also been here several times with Kansha.” reply Alan friendly. “I want to ask if Kansha is here?”
“Mbak Kansha is not here, mas.” Answer Mr. Ardi.
“Really?”
“Iya. Even if Kansha came here, she would have parked her car here and told me about her arrival to look after her car. But the car just doesn't exist, mas.” Evidently.
Alan rubbed his hair agitated. “But could Kansha not come by car?”
“That's impossible mas, a distance away from the urban, Ms. Kansha probably won't be able to walk or take public transport.” Reply Mr. Ardi chuckled.
“But who knows? Or it could be that Kansha is here without your knowledge.” Tukas Alan was still thinking positively.
“It could be anyway, mas.” Sahut Pak Ardi's.
“Then I permit to the tree house yes, sir.” Alan Pinta.
“Please, mas.” Mr. Ardi gave permission.
“Thank you, Sir.” Alan smiled with relief.
“Sama-sama, mas. But I'm sorry I can't deliver mas, I have to buy new equipment for the tree house. Mbak Kansha because he had a message on me a few days ago.”
“It's okay, sir. I can be alone. I still remember the way.”
After that, Mr. Ardi left Alan alone. Alan was also wasting no time. He went straight into the forest to head to the tree house. He walked quickly while shouting Kansha's name.
“Kansha!”
“Kansha!”
Alan kept calling Kansha's name out loud. He was worried because the day was getting late and the sun was not clear until the sky seemed to darken faster. Alan could even feel a gust of wind quite fierce around him. He realized that it would soon rain.
Alan hastened his pace. Before long, he arrived at a field that stood a tree house. Alan went into the dark tree house. He went upstairs and was instantly silent. He didn't find Kansha's presence here.
Not giving up, Alan went straight into the next room. The room contains Kansha's personal equipment that Alan had seen before. But no, Kansha wasn't there either. Kansha did not come to the tree house.
But if he didn't come here, then where did Kansha go?
Frustrated, Alan ruffled his hair violently.
***
Alfin had already reached his house with a grumble. He continued to grumble along the way. Until the taxi driver felt astonished and continued to be confused when the passenger continued to fold his lips while muttering.
“Loh, Fin, where's your car?” reprimand mother as soon as Alfin is paying the taxi fare.
“Digondol.” Reply Alfin briefly.
“Hah?” Mother scrunched her forehead confused.
“Later if the car returns, Alfin asks for help hit the head of his thief using rice barrel Bund.” Pinta Alfin while walking in.
Mother who heard it could only shake in astonishment.

The sky has completely darkened. Alan's still on the street looking for Kansha. The thunder and thunder roared at each other. The wind also blows harder. Just counting the seconds, the rain cloud will spill its bowels onto the earth.
And sure enough, it's raining. Alan grew overwhelmed with mounting worries. He continued to search for Kansha despite the slippery road and his vision was also interrupted due to the water speck blocking the windshield.
After searching everywhere, Alan finally stopped his car. He was exhausted from constantly searching but the result was nil. Traces of Kansha are nowhere to be found.
Alan then started running his car. One more last place he hasn't been to and Alan's only hope at the moment. Apartment Kansha.
There's a reason Alan last numbered the house. That's because Kansha said that her apartment had a leak and was being repaired. Kansha also said that she would not stay there until the apartment was renovated. Be Alan not there.
But now Alan is starting to falter. Kansha could have been in her apartment. Whether it's in a cafe, a park or even in his unit. Alan also drove his car faster to the Kansha apartment area.
Time has now shown the number six. Adzan maghrib also reverberated. The rain is getting heavier. The orange light beam continues to refract itself in the rainwater. And between all of that, Alan arrived.
He stopped his car when he saw the silhouette of someone standing facing the apartment building. Alan started to worry. Could it be it—
“Kansha!” call Alan to hurry out of the car.
Someone immediately turned his head when someone shouted to him. And how happy Alan is, that it's Kansha.
“Kansha!” alan immediately ran towards Kansha who was standing still.
Kansha frowned when she saw Alan standing not far from her.
“Alan?” he mumbled in disbelief.
Grebs
And along with his murmur, Kansha felt her body being pushed slowly back as Alan who was running directly hugged her.
Among the hundreds of people he knew, among all the possibilities, and of all places, why did Alan always find him first?
