Honesty of Anara

"Cock it here?" Anara asked with a confused face.

"Yes, I still want to talk to you, don't you?" Tanya Candra put her hand on the top of Anara's head. Then she turned on her smile.

Anara nodded in agreement. Then the two have switched to the living room of the Candra house. The house is cleaner and tidier than before. Maybe because her parents are coming.

"When did Mama Ira leave?" Anara asked still while sweeping the corner of the room. The house is clean.

"Tomorrow, flight after the zuhur."

"Hmm, it's cleaner. Neat again, you alone?" Anara asked without letting go of her gaze from all corners of the room.

"Owh, home? I called the handyman yesterday."

"You're on leave in the next few days?" This time the woman looked at her future fiance.

"Yes. But, the plan is after we're engaged. I'm gonna resign."

"Resign?"

Candra nodded confidently, "I want to try opening a cafe business in Kalimantan. Not bad, there are still rare kayak cafes in Malang this."

Anara still frowned, she was surprised but a little relieved. At least that guy wouldn't come to her every day. LDR stuff for a second is okay.

"To Balikpapan?"

"Yes. I think the work here is too heavy, not a matter of pressure or co-workers. Every day we have to be on the streets. I think I really don't have the talent to work in the media" Candra said, sitting next to Anara.

"Work waiting for talent, open the business is talent?" Sahut Anara lirih.

"At least it's more relaxed, it's not too stiff."

"We're LDR-an?"

"In the meantime, you're graduating soon too."

The sound of Anara's breathing was pierced strongly, making Candra squint her neutrals.

"Didn't you like it?"

"You think?" Ask Anara back.

"I'll visit often!"

"Don't! You are looking for a lot of money! Marriage is expensive, right?" Reply Anara developed a forced smile.

Hearing Anara's sentence just now, Candra even damaged her female hair.

"So you like us LDRs?"

"It doesn't matter what you like. At least we both have room to move. We can feel each other, actually we still need each other what not," explained Anara.

"If the relationship is just filled meet, eat, together. Long-long bland too," added Anara.

"That?"

Anara nodded at Candra's question. That's how he feels. The second language lately is only about marriage. Like there's nothing interesting in the world.

"Oh, yeah. I have something" said Candra and then got up to the room.

Anara's eyes turned to the room next door that was closed. What are the inhabitants doing out there? What is clear ... the man will not come at the sacred event the day after tomorrow. Candra hated him.

"Knebaya?" Anara asked in shock when Candra came out of the room with a paplum-shaped maroon brocade kebaya hung on a clothes hanger.

At the neck of the kebaya, draped the batik cloth that ensured it was his subordinate. It is white with a machete motif.

"I bought it for our show" replied Candra.

"So you're gonna be here to see this?"

The seated man nodded, "all want to warm up our old relationship cold."

Their position is not separated by distance. Close and as always. Both hearts are struggling.

The eyes of the eagle of Candra stared towards Anara. Sharp and deliver a highlight of seriousness. The look that once saved Anara from a wound several years ago. But, that gaze was also what brought Anara's feelings on the verge of uncertainty.

Busy with his thoughts, Candra had increasingly erased their distance. The man's face was so close that even a sweep of Candra's breath was felt hitting every inch of Anara's face.

"Don't you put this on me?" Tanya Anara grabbed the kebaya suit that was lying on the table.

Candra breathed out her disappointment. Anara still avoided him. Then what does it mean that the woman received an offer of fiancee from him?

"You try!" Candra pointed to her room.

A moment later the woman inched from her seat into Candra's room. Closing the door and sitting down. Setting his heart, making sure his feelings that he is not playing games.

Good Lord! Why weight?

The net is rolling on a maroon kebaya that is simply placed on the bed. Stare nanar at the bark of the cloth. The attention was on the man outside of her. But his heart was asking what?

Candraa. Reassure my heart, once more!

Clamps ...

The unlocked door opened. Candra enters and finds Anara with an inexorable face. The woman should be a couple because in three days they will be a couple.

"Why?" Tanya Candra grabbed Anara's hand which was still dumbstruck.

"Candraa, I want to talk."

Candra took a standing position with the pedestal of her knees in front of Anara. The man seemed to know what the woman in front of him was going to say. His heart was indecisive and unsteady in confidence.

"What, An?" Ask Candra gently. His hand held his female fingers.

"I'm sorry, Ndra!"

"I'm sorry?"

"I'm not completely sure yet, even my heart is no longer perfect to repay you" Anara explained.

"Because of Bryan?"

"Some," Anara replied quickly.

Yes, Candra. Shadow haunted. I even tried tepis. But, this reality hurts. His smile was present increasingly becoming-so some of this time.

"Bryan?" Ask the man again.

"I don't know, Ndraaaa."

Anara's shoulders started to shake. His chest went up and down trying to normalize his heart. Eyes glazed.

"Aron Bryan?" Ask Candra again.

Heard that name. Anara's feelings can no longer be lied to. The shadow of the man unluckily approached his wits again.

Tears that are accommodated by her eyelids have gone down her cheeks with pain and regret.

"Sorry, Ndraaaaa!" Isak Anara hugged Candra.

His heart felt guilty. He turned away from the lover who had always been there. Hit the sword right in Candra's chest. But, hurting his own feelings.

"I'm wrong" Candra replied, clutching her body tighter.

"I gave him a gap."

"The feeling is getting bigger by the day. But I, did not stop it," said Candra kissed Anara's head.

The woman in her arms is getting sobbing. Her cries completely broke hearing Candra's response. How much does Anara feel about being the cruelest woman right now?

"I should be sensitive and aware of why Bryan is so unable to establish relationships with other women. Apparently, the reason is you."

"Well, Candraa! Make me sure! Make me come back sure you're the only one!" Pinta Anara with a soft voice.

Because I know, I'm with Bryan is an impossibility that doesn't need to be interrogated. Let him be the past that never got his story.

"I'll make you sure, An! Even if it's just from my side."

Anara's chest grew increasingly claustrophobic at Candra's speech. He really hurt his girlfriend.
