Expressing Intention

At night on the island of Bali, on the third floor of Queen Galery Kaivan stands near the trellis. He inhaled the night air while staring at the highway that was a little quiet, understand now it is almost early morning. Not without reason Kaivan silent there, but can not memejam let alone fall asleep. Nadhea's shadow and his whisper last afternoon, successfully made Kaivan unsettled. Maybe it will last a long time, until he completes his intentions.

If you're going to say love, tell Papa first. That way, I believe.

For the umpteenth time Nadhea's voice again flashed in Kaivan's mind, which then made her smile, also made her heart beat faster. Just this time, he felt nervous when he was about to face Prawira. In fact, when he cut ties with Luna alone, he was not this nervous. Wh why? Are you afraid of being rejected? I don't know.

"What I feel now, more than I've ever felt in the past. Nadhea, it turns out that he made me this close, "mumbled Kaivan in between the gusts of the night wind.

When Kaivan was still dissolved in the beautiful shadows, suddenly his phone rang. Kaivan was startled and frowned for a moment, who was the one who called? Then, Kaivan's eyebrows furrowed when staring at the caller's contact name—Kennan.

"What's up, Ken?" ask Kaivan without further ado.

Although Bali time is faster than Malang, but the mesh is only one hour. If it is now in place at 00:30, then in Malang at 11:30. Why would Kennan call him in the middle of the night? Not because there's a big problem, right?

"Hey boy, relax over there? Around the island of Bali the same gebetan? Forgot the same I almost died standing here?" kennan with high intonation.

Instead of being angry, Kaivan laughed. Suddenly he remembered that Kennan was still replacing himself—shooting in Stone Town. According to Chandra's prediction at that time, the schedule there is indeed dense. Within those five days, it was expected to be late. Apparently, it's true.

"Papa and Mommy who left at the end have come home, you are still delicious there. I'm tired, Kai, kangen bini too. Basic brother-in-law doesn't have your heart!" rutuk Kennan was still with emotion.

Kaivan guess, Kennan just returned to the inn.

"Don't overdo it! I don't think you've ever been overtime, Ken." Kaivan relaxed.

"If my original job is okay, but this is not. Where outside the city again. Inget, I'm not single like you. There's a wife at home, pregnant again. You think my mind can settle down here?"

"Reya must be fine, there's Papa, Mother, Aunt, don't worry about you." Kaivan was still relaxed, even he had a laugh between his words.

"I don't want to know, anyway tomorrow you have to go home and follow me here. The day after tomorrow I'm coming back. I don't want to wait until the schedule here is over!" kennan said firmly.

"Yes, tomorrow I go home" Kaivan replied with origin. "Oh yeah, I'm going to bed. All right there, Ken, don't offend Mr. Boss." Kaivan chuckled while ending the phone call.

"Sorry, Ken, I'm still here on important business. After all, the job you have taken. So yes ... finish it all," Kaivan muttered while staring at the phone screen, which again displayed the words 'Kennan is calling'.

Early in the morning Kaivan was awake. He rushed to take a shower and approached Prawira who was reading a newspaper on the sofa. Kaivan sat down before him, then greeted with a slight nervousness.

"Good morning, Om."

"Morning, Kaivan." Prawira put down the newspaper and stared at Kaivan at a glance, then sipped the tea that stayed half. "If you want coffee, go to the kitchen. Dhea is cooking, tell her to make it for a while," he continued.

"Yes, Om, just later." Kaivan smiled. "Mmm, actually, there's something I want to talk to Om about" he continued.

"What's that?" ask Prawira.

"About ... Nadhea" Kaivan replied.

"Tell me!"

Kaivan lowered his head, "Before, I apologize if this intention included being presumptuous and offensive to Om. But I can't keep it to myself. I wanted Om to know because what I felt was real. Om, I love Nadhea, I want to marry her and make her happy."

Prawira. Although he had guessed it before, but it was still surprising when Kaivan really expressed it. It wasn't that he hated Kaivan, it was just that there were a lot of things that needed to be straightened out before making a decision.

"Are you serious?" ask Prawira.

"So serious, Om. In fact, I have talked about this with Papa and I have received his blessing. In addition, I have also prepared evidence of this intention." Kaivan spoke while taking out a small box from his trouser pocket—the ring of jewels he bought yesterday the day after.

"Have you said this to Dhea?" Prawira asked again.

Kaivan exhaled softly, "Before I say it, Nadhea told me to talk first to Om."

Prawira smiled, but the look in her eyes implied a frown. I don't know what the middle-aged man was thinking.

"Of!" call Kaivan because Prawira has been quiet for too long.

Seriate....
