My Husband My Pilot: Plane Crash Tragedy

Chapters 18. Love Clapping Hands

After Kansha told her of her dark past, no one spoke anymore. Alan is still digesting Kansha's story as a melancholy drama. Alan really didn't expect such a sentimental story.

"Pathetic right? I know." said Kansha. This is the first time he has told the whole story. Even with Nana, though.

"I didn't originally think it would be this sad. I have never felt what you feel. I'm thankful I live with a good family."

"You're lucky. My story is like a television drama. Maybe even if lifted to the glass screen, it can be viral" said Kansha chuckled softly.

"Kansha you know, there's a reason why someone is given such a heavy test. For someone who wants to think and reflect, there is always a lesson tucked away in every test given. Nor can God give his servant a test that exceeds the limits of his own ability. And the test was given because God knows you're a great man and can pass it."

"There's an old saying that after it rains there's always a rainbow, you know?" Kansha nodded.

"Whoever the tough test was a rain for you. And if you are patient through every process of rain, the rain will stop. And in return for your patience, create a beautiful rainbow. Think of the beautiful rainbow as the happiness you will experience after successfully passing this test."

"You're right. Maybe because it doesn't feel as painful as it used to be, I can also tell you the whole story. I hope that, the steep road I'm done walking on and underneath, I can find happiness" Kansha turned to Alan.

"Thank you Alan. I feel better." said Kansha with a faint smile.

"You're an amazing woman. May you always be happy" Alan said with a smile.

"You too."

“Serious brother?” exclaim Nana. So surprised, he even cried out while standing up. Ruben nodded. Nana smiled with relief and then sat down.

“So now they will come back to the island that allegedly there is a light point like that fire?” nana asked again. Ruben nodded once more. Nana is relieved. How glad he was to hear this important news.

“Although they also do not know yet, what exactly is that little dot. But related to the existence of an uninhabited and isolated island there is a possibility that there is a sign of someone's life. And sister hopes it's one of the plane victims.” Ruben.

Nana nodded. He again felt unsettled. Everything is uncertain. There are many possibilities that could happen. “So what's the next step?” ask Nana.

Reuben pondered, “Entahlah. We can only wait for news from the search team. Confirmation definitely related to the instructions we can only wait this time.” replied Ruben.

Nana sighed disappointed, “I became a pessimist.” Nana.

Ruben looked at Nana with a warning highlight. “Don't say it like that. Rest assured everything will be fine.” Nana just nodded. He shouldn't have broken charcoal.

“Na, want to be a witness?” asked Ruben suddenly.

“What witness?” Nana frowned confused.

“Bila Kansha congratulations. Brother will express brother's feelings and propose to him.” Ruben said sure.

“Ma—means brother Ru-ruben?” tanya Nana stuck.

“Kakak has long liked Kansha. And sister wants to interrupt Kansha as soon as she's confirmed safe.”

Nana wet her lower lip, “But there is no definitive confirmation as to whether Kansha survived.” Nana kelu.

Ruben looked at Nana in surprise. “Na, can you say that to your own friend? You were actually expecting Kansha to not survive, right?” accuse Ruben of anger.

Nana nodded quickly. “It's not so, brother. Of course I expect Kansha to be safe.” Tukas Nana smiled bitterly.

Nana sat on the edge of her bed with one leg bent. There was a bottle of wine he had drunk. The apartment was dark as usual. It's been a long time since he's been drunk like this since he knew Kansha and it was Kansha who pulled him out of this dirty world.

However, upon hearing the words of Ruben who wanted to propose to Kansha when Kansha was declared safe, making the 26-year-old girl immediately lost control. He again sipped the alcohol that had made him damaged first. And because of his love that turns out to clap one hand to make him do so.

He should be glad that his best friend is liked by someone as good and responsible as Ruben. Kansha's life won't be as sad and miserable as it used to be. Ruben will definitely give Kansha the happiness that her best friend has not tasted for a long time.

But if it were that easy. If his heart were to compromise. If he did not have any special feelings for that elder brother. But how else, long before Kansha knew Ruben, Nana already knew him. Ruben was a friend of his late brother. And Nana likes it.

He recently often worshiped early in the morning to church and did’a for the safety of the friend. No more pinta, that's all. But now Nana is even hesitant about her desire about Kansha.

But, for some reason, her little heart even wanted Kansha to not survive. So Ruben can't propose to Kansha. Nana admitted, it was a cruel thought. Kansha is the only family she has. However, once again, his heart was unwilling to compromise.

If only, he could ask for two pleas, Kansha survived and Ruben liked her. Nana would be very grateful.

"Defects.” Kansha sneezes repeatedly. He could not even enjoy the food. Kansha felt her head dizzy and her body shivering in the cold.

“Kansha, are you okay?” ask Alan worriedly.

Kansha shook her head, “It's okay. I think I'm the flu again.” Kansha replied slowly and then went back to eating Alan's catch of grilled fish.

Alan was still watching Kansha. Kansha looks pale and unhealthy. Kansha even hugged her knees and grimaced a few times in the cold.

Alan put the grilled fish on a banana midrib and approached Kansha. He checked Kansha's temperature with the back of his hand. Alan was shocked when he felt the hot temperature radiating from Kansha's forehead.

“Kansha you have a fever!” yell Alan panicked.

Kansha gave a silent sigh, this is her first illness since being stranded on the island.
