The Presence of Someone

After dinner with his family and wife-to-be, Kaivan laid his body on the bed. After four days of silence behind bars, he finally returned to his private palace. The tip of his lips lifted while staring at the many photo sheets lined up on the wall of the room. Four days without a camera feels so empty. Moreover, without a lover of heart, ah, half his life seemed to go out somewhere.

"Luna, forgive me for being so prejudiced yesterday" Kaivan murmured with a sharp reticence, imagining the ever-perfect figure of a lover in his eyes.

After pondering, Kaivan got up and contacted his superior. In addition to explaining what really happened, he also asked for permission because tomorrow he could not enter work. His superiors were understood and Kaivan was given three days to visit his future father-in-law, as well as take care of the restaurant. However, for the matter of the restaurant, Kaivan entrusted everything to Reyvan.

Just now Kaivan was about to put down his phone, suddenly there was a phone coming in, apparently from Luna. Kaivan's smile expands as the fingers rub the green button.

"Cash, Kai. I just arrived" said Luna from across the street.

"Thank God." Kaivan heaved a sigh of relief. Earlier, Luna refused to be escorted by him because he brought his own car.

"What are you doing?" ask Luna.

"Missing you."

"Kai, I asked seriously." Luna laughed crisply.

"I'm serious too, Luna. I really miss you. I can't wait to stop you" said Kaivan.

"Patience, Kai, not for five months really," said Luna. "Hopefully Papa stays healthy, yeah. Sometimes I think Papa's sick."

"Yes, Luna. We pray together yes, for his healing" Kaivan replied.

"Hey, Kai. Oh yes, I was also about to say something," said Luna.

"What by the way?"

Luna exhaled a coarse breath, "Tomorrow does not leave in the morning."

"Why?"

"Suddenly Mr. Bima invited a meeting, discussing the cooperation I was telling you the other day. The day after the man went abroad, came back next month. I was on Papa's phone, he said yes, ask for a meeting first instead of waiting a long time," explained Luna.

"Yes, if you wait for you to finish the meeting, then leave immediately."

"Yes." Yeah."

At exactly 01:00 p.m., Kaivan arrived at Luna's house. His girlfriend was waiting and ready to go to Surabaya. For the umpteenth time Kaivan was fascinated by Luna's appearance. The beautiful and graceful girl was wearing an ivory yellow knee-length dress. His legs are covered in high hells silver color. Her hair was left unraveled and spread over her shoulders. A slightly thick texture adds to its beauty.

"Kai, that's how she looked," said Luna with cheeks that began to meet red.

"Pretty." Kaivan's short answer made Luna look down embarrassed.

"The more days you're getting frayed, Kai." Luna spoke softly as she grabbed her bag.

"I'm not the one who seduced me, but you who were getting bitter stole my attention" Kaivan replied.

"Hey, there's no formula! In my dictionary there is only the word 'loyal', nothing else."

"Isn't he? If you ever meet a super pretty bridesmaid, how about it?" luna Goda. Given their previous meeting, he became a bridesmaid and Kaivan who became his photographer.

"Subjecting the view because I already have a future wife," Kaivan replied quickly, which then made Luna blush even more.

"Kai!" call Luna a few moments later.

"Hm."

"You're serious, right, with what you said just now? Sometimes ... I'm scared, Kai. I love you, I hope to marry you. I'm very unwilling if this relationship does not reach the guarantee," said Luna.

"Luna, honey, what are you talking about? No need to scare anything, I love you too. While God is still giving me life, this relationship must have arrived at security. I won't break my promise, you're the only woman I call in the sacred pledge." Kaivan cupped Luna's cheeks and looked her in the eyes gently.

"Thank you, Kai. I'm so happy to hear that, please don't disappoint me, okay? Stay by my side and don't betray my love" Luna asked, holding Kaivan's hand still on her cheek.

"Never, dear. You are my first and last love." Kaivan smiled and then placed his lips on Luna's forehead. "You're the perfect girl, where can I turn for another girl. No, Luna, I'm not as stupid as your ex, who cheated on you and wasted a woman like you" she said.

"I love you, Kai" whispered Luna.

"I love you too, Luna," Kaivan replied with a whisper.

After hugging tightly, the two walked together and entered the car. Kaivan then drives him away from Luna's house. They started a long journey.

"Papa can't come yet. The work is still piling up because Reyvan takes care of the restaurant. Later after I came home, Papa can only go to visit Om Wira," Kaivan said on the way.

"Yes, Kai, it's okay. After all, Papa's condition has been mengeningan. The important thing is his prayer," replied Luna accompanied by her sweetest smile.

Luna and Kaivan continued to talk, either about work or feelings. Sometimes they joked and laughed together. Halfway through, Kaivan stopped his car and stopped for a while at the diner. After filling their stomachs and resting for a while, they resumed their journey.

Because side by side with someone who is loved, the distance Malang to Surabaya feels closer than reality. Before being touched by fatigue and boredom, both of them have arrived at the destination—home of Prawira Bagaskara. They arrived before the full sun set.

A security guard opened the gate when Kaivan's Pajero car arrived. Then, Kaivan parked it in the garage, next to a red Lamborghini. Kaivan immediately descended, unaware of Luna's change in expression.

Kaivan circled his car and opened the door for Luna. However, the girl was just silent with a nanar view towards the Lamborghini car.

"Luna, what's wrong?" Kaivan asked as he glanced towards the car, nothing strange. He also felt relaxed and considered the car belonged to a brother or a relative who was visiting his future father-in-law.

"It's okay, just .. love the color," Luna lied.

Then, he went down and stepped beside Kaivan. They walked towards the main door that was wide open. As the footsteps continued to approach, Luna's feelings grew more agitated. He memorized correctly with his license plate, the car belonged to someone whose presence was completely undesirable. What's more when now—when there's Kaivan next to him.

"What should I say when Kaivan meets him? Oh no, may Kaivan understand this, "Luna's inner heart is beating faster.
