About Alana

"Alana is pregnant, but not Nagra. There's someone else irresponsible who's been nagging it to him." The statement circled in Mika's head, causing a rush of anger in her chest.

"But, why did Alana even accuse Nagra of doing it?" Unknowingly, Mika's tone of voice rose by an octave. Kai had to squeeze the girl's hand to calm down again.

"Because, Alana's afraid Nagra will leave her if Nagra finds out the truth. I don't know, actually Alana is affectionate or obsessed with Nagra. But, after finding out she was pregnant, she insisted on finding a way so that she could admit if it was Nagra's child. That way, Nagra won't be able to run away from him. I know, Alana was wrong too. He forces Nagra to take responsibility for something he didn't do until he gets frustrated. I've told Alana many times so she can tell me the truth to Nagra. But, Alana remains Alana. Poor thing I saw Nagra at that time."

Mika's fist hardened. Kai could even feel the hand tremble in his grasp. "Patience, Ka." Kai whispered that line in Mika's ear.

Mika closed her eyes for a moment, restraining the already mounting anger. Then, with a forced voice sounding ordinary, he again said. “So, if not Nagra's sister? Who made Alana pregnant?"

The man shook his head. Either he doesn't know, or he doesn't want to give an answer.

 Mik wanted to hit whatever was in front of him at the moment. If it wasn't for Kai's cheats, he would have gone berserk in the courtyard of this club. Alana is fucking. He did not think, how could the girl drop the charges on Nagra? Is it Nagra's sin for not wanting to accept Alana's feelings? A tear finally flowed down Mika's cheek, as a sign that it was being destroyed at this time.

          

“Gue still remembers how devastated Alana was when she found out Nagra had died. He felt guilty and beaten. It made him dream a lot. Until one day, she fell in the bathroom because she lost focus. And, she miscarried. That's what finally makes him kayak now.” The man came back to smoke his cigarette.

“If not Nagra, why can't Nagra avoid the accusation?” the question finally came out of Mika's lips.

 “Alana once told me that there was an incident in the villa that made Nagra unable to evade the accusation."

"What events?” Kai's voice was rising. He had been very curious about the incident mentioned by Samuel since that day. But he did not find the answer either.

           

Mika smothered her mouth. His chest was instantly congested, imagining how Nagra felt that day. Just like her. Nagra was accused of something he never did. The guy was cornered, made a suspect for a mistake that never fouled his hand.

“Fucking alana!” Mika couldn't bear to not scream. His crying voice broke the night, beating the music from inside the club. Kai wrapped his hand around the girl's shoulder. Leaning Mika's head on her chest. Letting the girl spill all her anger and tears.

“Kak Nagra died because of that damn chick, Kai. Fuck!”

“Lo calm down first yes, Ka. We can't blame Alana either. He was also cornered.” Kai tries to calm Mika down.

“What? He wasn't really from the beginning, Kai! He's cheap!”

“Mika!” Kai let out a snatch. Meanwhile, cousin Alana just watched it with a flat highlight. The man did not say a word. Because he knew, there was no point in defending Alana. After all, the girl was the culprit of the pain of the people around Nagra. Alana is not to blame either. Someone there is supposed to be responsible for all of this. Someone whose identity is unknown to date. And, only Alana knows that person.

“There are more you want to ask, before I go back inside?” ask the man. His hand crushed the cigarette butts that had shrunk on the chair. Then, move on to throw it in the trash. 

Kai shook his head. “Thanks for the information, Bro. Sorry if we touched on your feelings, or Alana.”

The man smiled very thinly. Then, pat Kai on the shoulder. “Casual. I know how you feel. I hope that the perpetrator of Nagra's murder is caught soon. You can also call me if there's anything. You must have Alana's number. I'm using her mobile number.”

After the man's departure, Kai leads Mika who is still sobbing into the car.

"Want to go for a walk before you go home?"

Mika shook her head to respond to Kai's offer. He doesn't want to do anything. In his head, there was only anger at Alana and a way to retaliate that he would not be able to do.
