That Cold Guy is my Ex!

Tree House

Arshaka arrived at the tree house. Actually it was a small house built on a large tree on the edge of the lake located in the middle of the forest. The place was accidentally discovered by Keynna who like to walk around with the reason of looking for dragon balls.

Arshaka immediately ran towards the forest after parking his motorbike in the yard of one of the residents he knew very well. Besides the red BMW, it looks like it belongs to Keynna.

Before long, he arrived at the tree house. He immediately climbed up the wooden ladder that was draped on the tree trunk and climbed to the top. After entering the tree house, he found Keynna sitting on her knees with her head sinking between the folds of her arms. The girl's shoulders were shaking.

Arshaka sat down before Keynna and hugged Keynna. She could feel the girl's shoulders stiffening, perhaps surprised.

"Sst, it's me." A second later Keynna cried again while hugging Arshaka tightly.

Arshaka just shut up. He allowed the girl to spill everything first. He only gently rubbed the quivering back while occasionally peeping the top of his head.

Half an hour passed, Arshaka let go of his embrace after feeling that Keynna did not cry as well as earlier. Tears still running down her cheeks with both of her thumbs. Keynna closed her eyes as Arshaka gently kissed her two eyelids.

“Udah?” asked Arshaka gently. Keynna just nodded.

“Everything okay?” Arshaka again asked while still looking straight at this beloved girl.

“No,” replied Keynna down. “He's evil, he even slaps me.” Keynna came back slowly.

Arshaka surprised. Who would dare slap a keynna? Then his gaze fell on the corner of Keynna's slightly torn lips, there was a little blood there.

“This hurts?” arshaka asked while stroking the corner of Keynna's injured lip.

“More heartache I.” timpal Keynna down.

Arshaka hugged Keynna again and rubbed the girl's back. “Papa. Everything will be fine. Don't be sad.” Entertained.

“Gue hiks I just don't hiks nypak, ka-if my family destroyed.” Isak Keynna's. Arshaka just silently listened. Let the girl spill it all.

“Gu-gue thought, I will continue to have a whole and happy family. Actually not. Even papa changed. He's evil, hiks.”

“Gue disappointed, I'm angry. I want to die!”

Arshaka tightened her embrace. No, he won't let his favorite girl leave him again. Enough 2 years, he will not be able to anymore.

“Lo can't say that. If you die, many will be sad. Mama Lo, your other family and me too. You can be angry, you can be sad but don't overdo it. In every problem there is learning. God loves very much lo, he says lo let you become stronger again.” Arshaka.

“Saka,” Keynna let go of her embrace, her gaze staring straight at Arshaka's dark bead. “Lo won't stay with me like papa right?” ask Keynna.

Arshaka smiled sweetly then kissed Keynna's forehead, “Gue is not papa lo.”

“Appointment?” Keynna raised her little finger.

Arshaka linked his little finger to Keynna's little finger, promising. “Whatever to lo, Na.”

Anna and Lisa are confused in search of Keynna's whereabouts. Keynna picked up the phone but it had been half an hour that she had not returned. They started to worry especially that the girl's phone was off. Anna and Lisa sit uneasily in the restaurant chair.

“Duh, An. How's nih? Si Keynna not back and forth.” Panic Lisa.

“Gue don't know euy. Where the hell is he? I just picked up the phone doang.” Anna Timpal.

Anna picked up her vibrating phone, it seemed like there was a message coming in. And sure enough, there was a chat from Arshaka, telling him that Keynna was fine with him.

“Si Keynna original unplug, where to say again the same Saka.” Grumpy Anna while saving her hp back.

“What? Wh why? Keynna meet?” flocked Lisa.

“Iya,” Anna nodded. “Sama Arshaka's. Don't know where.”

Lisa breathed a sigh of relief, at least Keynna was fine, so they wouldn't be accused of having eliminated Keynna right?

“Yaudah kuy, back. Let's ask Keynna tomorrow.” Take Lisa and stand up.

Anna is standing, “Kuy, but Lisa payin ya.” After saying that Anna immediately scuttled away.

“Anna snapper!" Bail Lisa.

Motor sport Arshaka split the streets of Bandung city that looks still crowded. He glimpsed Keynna behind him through the rearview mirror. The girl's face looks chaotic, visible scars are still visible coupled with both puffy eyes and tangled hair. But Arshaka admits the girl still looks pretty.

At first before returning home, Arshaka offers to use the girl's car, but Keynna shakes her head unwillingly. He wants to feel the night air of Bandung, hoping his feelings can improve. Finally Arshaka was forced to obey after forcing Keynna to wear her jacket because the girl did not bring a jacket.

After being satisfied to stare, Arshaka immediately focused on looking forward. Suddenly he felt his back tighten and glimpsed back Keynna who was leaning his head on Arshaka's back. It seems the girl is exhausted. Just in case, Arshaka pulled both of Keynna's hands to circle his stomach with the man's left hand holding both of Keynna's hands in front while occasionally being stroked. There was no movement from the keynna and the guy started looking ahead.

Before long they had reached the gate of the house of Keynna. The house looks a little creepy because some of the lights have been turned off. Arshaka turned off the engine and looked at Keynna who seemed to be awake.

“Down Na. We're here,”

Keynna got off the bike with the help of Arshaka. She had absolutely no energy after crying for quite a long time.

Keynna looked at Arshaka then smiled faintly, “Makasih Saka...make it all.”.

Arshaka nodded, “If you feel the world is starting to turn around, don't forget I'm still there.” Arshaka said with a thin smile and stroked Keynna's cheek slowly.

“Ready means I repot it every time I am sad. Then I will tell you to bring martabak with cimol later.” Kekeh Keynna's. He seemed to be able to smile again. Arshaka is back to healing tonight.

“Well that's my new Nana. Don't be sad anymore. I would bring martabak with cimol if necessary the same carts so that you do not be sad continue.”

“Sa ae kang former.” They laugh together too.

“Gih, in. Already malem, do not forget to clean before going to bed.” Arshaka.

Keynna nodded then waved at Arshaka who had boarded his motorbike, “Thank you once again. Be careful on the road. Don't speed.”

Arshaka nodded, “Tomorrow I will pick up let go home to school later we take the car lo.”

Keynna nodded then smiled sweetly which was answered with a thin smile Arshaka. Arshaka turns on the engine and drives the vehicle away. Now Keynna did not feel sad anymore, although the wounds that his father inflicted are still imprinted, the presence of Arshaka and his consolation made Keynna feel not alone.

“Thanks Saka.” says Keynna.
