So happy was Zein when he could look back at Kanaya who left for her course. Zein was like a man who lost strength before Kanaya came but after she saw the woman so missed she immediately jumped and ran over happily.
Finally he could see again even though the woman did not smile at him at all, stupidly very because the most important thing he could see it could even tease him.
"Naaye! Where have you been, how are you? Must be good dong look your face so sumringah this morning. What's the matter, is there anything I missed?" Zein stepped in the footsteps of Kanaya who was about to enter her course class.
Kanaya kept quiet because she did not want to deal with Zein she knew that the man wanted her so much so that Kanaya tried to stay away even though Zein still approached her in the end.
"Naye, why the hell can't we be friends? why are you always indifferent to me am I so bad in your eyes that there is no chance for me to be your friend, let alone talk to you?"
Kanaya left, and sat down in her usual spot and started to pull out books and study what was on the board.
"Naye's. Do I have any mistakes?" asked Zein again and now he was sitting in front of Kanaya and occasionally blocked the view of Kanaya's eyes who wanted to look ahead.
Anxious, that was what Kanaya felt to Zein that she always bothered him. Is there no other job but to piss people off like this?
"Please Mas Zein, don't bother me. I'm here to learn if I want to be a friend then be a friend. And if you want to talk, chat at the right time not at every time like this. Sometimes we are serious about what we pursue and there are times when we talk with friends just to relieve fatigue. But do not Mas Zein think that men and women can be friends and even chat closely let alone we are not mahram would certainly not be good if we are so close. It is better to take care of yourself before any slander occurs."
So much and gently Kanaya said that Zein also heard it but either she accepted it or not most importantly Kanaya had already said it all.
"Naye, will there ever be a chance for me to be close to you?" now the Zein looked seriously into Kanaya's face.
"Should Mas Zein think before approaching Kanaya, I've become a wife even anyone would have no chance of getting close if approached with the intention to have. Better Mas Zein bury deep in feelings that have not been so great, and look for another woman who can really have Mas Zein completely."
Kanaya hopes that with her words Zen can stop chasing her and be able to find and open her heart to other women who are better than her.
"What if I just want you, what if I force you to accept me?" said Zain.
"Then I will continue to reject him." replied Kanaya without thinking for a second.
"Mas, so many women out there are good even many are better than me. Mas can get them, I'm sure there are better and more deserving than me, and my efforts will not be in vain. However, if Mas continues to pursue me then Mas's efforts will always be in vain because no matter how hard Mas tried the results will remain the same I will not be able to accept Mas."
Kanaya's reply managed to make Zen speechless, does that mean that what Kanaya said was able to knock on Zein's heart door to let go?
...****************...
Zein kept silent even though he was still following Kanaya who was going home. Tumben Dirga was late to pick up this time and Zein could continue to see him without fear of Dirga.
Kanaya's words opened Zein's heart slightly and now stood a distance further than usual.
'Was what Kanaya said true, did I have to let go and find another woman as Kanaya said. But, can anyone be the same as Kanaya?' inner Zein.
Zein's heart wobbles, he still wants to keep trying to get Kanaya but his conscience says that indeed he must release Kanaya. So, what decision should be made?
Zein was still standing by leaning against the LPK gate with eyes constantly staring at Kanaya who was still waiting for Dirga. Occasionally look towards the road and occasionally also turn towards the phone he is holding.
A very special woman for Zein, a woman who cannot be easily conquered and also a woman who is so firm and takes care of her principles and household well.
For so long Kanaya waited for Dirga to find out where her husband was now and what he was doing until he was as late as he is now makes his wife long wait.
Zein was eager to offer to deliver him, but Zein was sure Kanaya would not accept him as usual. Until now Zein just wait and make sure that Kanaya picked up her husband and went home with good condition.
"For a long time" said Zein, looking at the street and turning to see the watch he was wearing. It turned out that almost half an hour of Kanaya waiting for Dirga to come.
"Naye, you're sure your husband will pick you up. It's almost half an hour but there's no sign of his arrival. Is he maybe in trouble?" zein said he remained in place and had no intention of approaching.
Kanaya turned her head and looked at Zein who was keeping a great distance now.
Relieved to be able to make Zein was not always there beside him, although he still remained around but he was not so close.
"I'm sure Mas Dirga will pick me up" replied Kanaya who was full of confidence.
"I buy a drink first" said Zein and immediately stepped away from Kanaya to go to the stall any way.
Kanaya just shook her head Why ask her permission, isn't that not necessary.
Kanaya refocused waiting for her husband but not Dirga who came but two men with a sturdy body and even their two hands there is a snake tattoo that adds a scary impression to Kanaya who is not used to seeing stuff like that.
"Hello pretty, all alone?" ask one of them.
It was clear that Kanaya was starting to fear the presence of the two people. He was getting more agitated and continued to look at the direction of the vehicle hoping Dirga would come soon. Both of his hands immediately hugged the sling bag he was wearing trying to protect what was inside.
What Kanaya did seemed to be a joke for the two people until they finally laughed out loud.
"Pretty leave your bags to us" said one of them again, holding out hope Kanaya would hand over voluntarily.
"No, I will not hand it over to you," Kanaya refused who had begun to tremble.
But Kanaya's refusal led the two men to forcefully pull Kanaya's bag.
"Then that means you should also come with us." now even Kanaya's arm was pulled by them as well. The more scared Kanaya gets the more happy the two people are and the stronger it pulls Kanaya.
There was no one there, only vehicles passing by and no one stopped to help him.
Kanaya kept shouting, muttering and trying to fight but her strength was not strong to do that. Until finally his eyes saw Zein who was about to cross.
"Mas Zein, please Naya! My mother!" kanaya shouted with a voice that had been shaking with fear accompanied by tears that had been sliding down.
Kanaya's voice was so loud and clear that Zein heard and immediately rounded her eyes. His hands clenched and immediately ran to help Kanaya.
"Naaye!!" zain shouted as he ran.
