Love for Athreya



Kaivan returned to Athreya, who was now down while gripping the end of the shirt.


"Why not?" asked Kaivan slowly. However, Athreya was still silent, precisely the stifled cry that was heard.


"I'm not really angry, just trying to get things straight. Athreya, my most beautiful sister, try to explain whatever you feel. You will be the best listener." Kaivan smiled as he tightly held onto Athreya's two arms.


"Sir Kai is a little bit smelly!" yelled Athreya while looking up, revealing the dots of water that soaked his cheeks.


"Let's sit!" bring Kaivan.


Athreya did not refuse when Kaivan led him to sit down. Then, he poured out all the turmoil in his mind when his heart was calm.


"I feel comfortable with Kak Kennan, his attitude is soft and kind, not much different from Kak Kai. But, I'm scared. He is still perfect, not like me who .. ah, I told him to change his appearance because I really like that appearance, also I want to know, the extent to which Kak Kennan wants to prove his love. I want to know he is really sincere what not," Athreya explained.


"Someone wants to change their appearance for your sake it's interesting, but it's even more interesting if he can make you like what he has."


"Kak__"


"Proof love is not like that, Reya, but able to maintain your attitude, heart, and self-esteem. In addition, dare to come bring his parents before your parents. Finally, dare to make a promise in front of your wall. That's proof of real love" Kaivan concluded.


Athreya fell silent, digesting every word that came out of Kaivan's mouth.


"If someone else is after you, would you be willing if Kennan gave up?" ask Kaivan.


Athreya shook her head, "I'm comfortable with him. He was the first one to come when I was down. I don't want him to leave, especially if he's sincere. But ... On the other hand I'm not sure either, I'm afraid to accept him."


"If he were truly sincere, would you love him?" Kaivan again asked a question.


"I will learn" Athreya said.


"Surely able?"


"I'll try. I will not waste anyone loving me and accepting my situation." Athreya answered solemnly.


"With his typical appearance, not the style of teenagers like yesterday. Are you sure you're still comfortable?"


Athreya nodded, "I'll understand what Kak Kai said earlier."


Kaivan smiled and then hugged Athreya. While rubbing his sister's arm, Kaivan sat down, "May he be really sincere, Reya. With the situation as it is now, being able to get along with a guy like Kennan is a special gift."

Dusk was long gone, but Kennan had just arrived at the Kaivan residence, I don't know what made him late. Kaivan did not bother about it even though he had given half an hour.


Right now, the three of them were sitting in the living room, enjoying the warm tea and pastries the waiter had just served.


"Well, you're close to Reya?" kaivan asked to open the conversation.


"I love him." Kennan stared at Kaivan at a glance, then turned to look at Athreya.


"You sure? With her imperfect situation, can you really love her sincerely? Although we are friends, but if you play him, I will not hesitate to land a bogeman on your face, until permanent disability so that you do not sell anymore!" kaivan said with a sharp look.


"Do you dare marry her?" Kaivan asked back.


"Very brave, Kai. If Athreya wants to, I'm ready to marry her at any time. Now, tomorrow, the day after, or___"


"Well! It's a wedding, sister, not just a dinner!" shout Athreya.


"You think marriage is easy, just take care of the letters aja not run around a day or two." Kaivan interrupted.


"Easy, as long as there is a guardian, there is a witness, there is a dowry, it is legal. Letters, right, can follow, important agreement first," said Kennan quickly.


"I don't want my sister to marry Siri!" exciting Kaivan.


"Kan, temporarily, Kai. Lagian .. take care of the letter also not long, just a matter of days. You see Athreya is single, not .. a man's wife." Kennan smiled widely as he glanced at Kaivan.


"Don't be so reckless! I don't love people's wives either." Kaivan answered quickly.


"Well, who told you?" Kennan laughed.


Kaivan did not reply, merely glaring sharply while grumbling erratically.


"Athreya, you ... really want to consider me?" ask Kennan. He looked at Athreya without any regard for Kaivan who was still upset.


Athreya nodded slowly, "Yes. I also ... waited for Kak Kennan's promise earlier."


Next to him, Kaivan frowned. He doesn't understand that discussion. The other is with Kennan. He smiled and slightly held his seat. Then, he reached into something from his pocket and knelt before Athreya.


"I won't make you wait long. As soon as you accept me, then I will wrap the ring around your ring finger. Sorry if this is not romantic, other than because the moment is impromptu, here also there is a single heart that we must take care of. Do not let his heart be broken, pity, which is expected to be a wound remedy is still a henchman in the arms of people," said Kennan complete with a smile that continues to expand.


Athreya laughed, her dimples were clear and very charming in Kennan's eyes. Then, his cheeks met as Kennan grabbed his hand and wrapped the jewel ring around his ring finger.


"I didn't expect Kennan to do it this fast" Athreya said.


Kennan smiled, "I understand you, Reya. Looking at your expression in the VC earlier, I thought there would be good things between us. And it turns out .. true."


"Not to be so great. Want me to show you my chat? Just tell him that Reya agrees and I tell you to give proof of your seriousness" Kaivan interrupted before Athreya replied.


"You don't bummer, Kai!" Kennan moved as he stared in annoyance at Kaivan. "You promised to keep this a secret" he continued.


"Candidate-Adik-Ipar-Yang-Success-Because-Help-Kak-Ipar, in order to keep the feeling of being single, you can not be angry. You have to be able to hold back your emotions, okay?" Kaivan spoke while sipping tea elegantly, as if there was nothing wrong with his words.


"You___"


"Sister, don't be upset. I already know from earlier, even .. I also know that Kak Kennan is late because he bought a ring. Earlier, Kak Kai kasih saw the chat Kak Kennan," concluded Athreya who then made Kennan gaping.


"Based on my accursed friend, I told him to give you a surprise, but my plan was revealed to the man. You too, Reya, why should you say, anyway? Why don't I just let me not get mental." Kennan sat down while kneeling his temple.


Seriate.....
