Reticalya

S2: Caught

After the reproach that Mother Jihan spoke of a few days ago, Kenji actually felt guilty for asking such a thing.

But again on this holiday he saw something that was enough to explain everything. He saw the girl again, the girl he said looked like Ciya.

This time the girl was in a bookstore and was alone. Not wanting to make the girl leave, Kenji followed her secretly.

“This time can't get away, I have to follow where he's coming home,” whispered. He followed her not too close nor too far away.

Until finally the girl he was following brought her book to the checkout sign she was done and would pay for the book she had brought.

“Si*l, almost got caught,” said Kenji when the girl suddenly turned her head. But he was sure the girl was unaware of his existence.

Kenji finally saw him get into a taxi. Just like the person he misses so much right now, it turns out that the girl also seems not too good at driving, or maybe she does not have a car? But it's impossible with that kind of appearance that he doesn't have a car.

Kenji follows her until her conjecture is almost proven as now the taxi the girl is riding in stops at Ciya's house.

The girl got down and walked into the house. Just before the girl opened the door, Kenji blocked her arm.”

The girl looked surprised as she turned her head before her body finally pecked. “K-sister K-kenji?” great-grandson Ciya when she saw who the person who had dared to block her wrist was.

“C-ciya? I-this b-real lo?” ask Kenji. Although he had expected from the beginning, but dealing with the girl like this felt a dream to him.

Ciya was silent and did not answer. He also knew what to say to the man now in front of him.

“Obviously same me now,” pinta Kenji with emphasis. Between angry, disappointed, happy and moved into one. Kenji felt angry of course because he had been fooled. He was also disappointed that Ciya had not told him this. But on the other hand he also felt happy and renewed because the person he had always considered to be dead, was still here, in the same world as him.

Ciya releases Kenji's check and is about to leave before Kenji again blocks his way. “Gue won't let you go until you tell me everything that happens with me,” he said.

In the end, he has no choice but to invite Kenji into the house and tell him everything.

“Mother,” call him to the person who is busy making that cake.

“Ahh you have pul – “

His words were cut short as he saw that there was someone else beside his daughter. “Kenji,”.

Kenji just kept quiet. Of course she was also angry at Mother Jihan for lying to her and keeping this a secret from her.

“Gi-how can I?” ask Mother Jihan again.

“Ciya met Kak Kenji outside,” Ciya replied gently. In fact, he was scared right now because Kenji looked so angry at him.

“Mother, Ciya talk first with Kenji sister yes,” part that got a nod from her Mother. Looks like he can't help anymore if it's like this.

Eventually Ciya and Kenji go to the living room to talk things out. Kenji looked at Ciya incessantly after they sat there.

“Don't see Ciya is so rich,” said Ciya. Aside from being embarrassed, she was also afraid of being looked at that way by Kenji.

“How can you?” kenji asked directly at the thing he really wanted to know.

“Sorry,” great-grandson Ciya while bowing his head.

“Which part would you like Brother to know?” Ciya asked back.

“Everything.” Brief, dense and clear but enough for the answer to the question Ciya asked.

“Ciya not dead,” great-grandson.

“Iya I know, the proof is now you are still here, in front of me. What I want to know, how can you be here now while the doctor has already sentenced you to die,” said Kenji at length.

It turned out that only Ciya's appearance had changed. Ciya's brain and meekness had not changed at all, the girl was still the same.

“Daddy that Ciya took away from there. Said Ciya's breath back again.” Instantly the event of wanting to judge Ciya turns into an anxiety for Kenji. The way Ciya answered made the man smile knotty.

“It turns out I can not be angry with lo,” he said before then Kenji hugged Ciya tightly. 

For a moment, Ciya felt surprised. But eventually he was able to restore his body's response and return the hug.

“Gue kangen sama lo,” said Kenji lirih. Meanwhile, Ciya was now crying.

“Ciya also miss Kenji,” replied with a sobbing. Kenji let go of his embrace and looked at the girl's eyes deeply.

“Lanjutin lo story. Daddy's? Daddy who do you mean?” kenji asked because he had absolutely no idea about someone Ciya had just said.

“Ahhh Ciya Om. Om Ciya who brought Ciya from there when you were asked to leave the room.” Ciya recounted what happened five years ago.

“So whose body did I see at the funeral?” Kenji did not see his face, but he could see if anyone was put in the burrow.

“Ciya don't know. Maybe it's not human, ” he replied.

“For five years where have you been?” Kenji felt like he had never seen Ciya before.

“Ciya is abroad. Daddy took Ciya there until Ciya recovered completely,” he replied.

“Keep now you back here?”

But Ciya shook her head. Kenji was confused. “Terus lo now why come here?”

“Ciya there late in college because of illness. So, now Ciya hasn't graduated your rich. Ciya here now again holiday.”

“Means you'll be back there?” Kenji really doesn't want that. He wanted Ciya to stay here alone, close to him so that he could easily take care of Ciya.

“Lo don't want to stay here? Do you not feel sorry for Mother?”

It wasn't that Kenji used Mother Jihan as bait to get Ciya to stay there, but wasn't what she said true?

All this time Mother Jihan lived alone here and it would probably make her feel a little lonely.

“Ciya don't know Brother. If Daddy Ciya could stay here, maybe Ciya would stay. But if Daddy says he has to go back there, maybe Ciya cannot be here.”
