The First Night of Cana (Angel Without Wings)
Honorable widow
081345671234: Please meet me at the restaurant near your office after work.
That's a short message from Jihan, Joddy's mother. Kana's reason was nervous and tense all the way to this restaurant. Kana doesn't know where Joddy's mother knows her cell phone number knows there's been an incoming message from Joddy's mother..Kana's hand suddenly trembled as she saw two women walking gracefully towards her. Cana bentung whether he should stand welcoming or stay seated and he also chose to stay seated.
"Is it too long to wait?" jihan asked and sat right in front of Kana after they shook hands as a form of courtesy. Kana shook her head she glanced at the beautiful woman beside Jihan who was looking at her with a faint smile. Who is this woman? Joddy's brother?
"It's okay, Auntie." Kana tried to smile ignoring the beautiful woman who had been staring at her with a researching look.
"We just go straight, right? I don't like to mince words, a waste of time!" From the tone of his voice alone, Jihan looked very dislikeful of Kana and Kana was aware of that.
"What is your relationship with my son?" shoot Jihan directly without further ado.
Kana looked at Jihan doubtfully. "Me and Brother Joddy-"
"Whatever your relationship is, stay away from my child," between Jihan makes Kana's heart feel pinched. He's guessing right, right? Joddy's parents would never agree.
"But Tan-"
"Joddy's age is no longer young, dating or playing games is just a waste of time alone, he is already very fit to be married."Again Jihan did not let Kana talk.
"But sorry our family still holds on to what is called seedlings, bebet, weight because married once in a lifetime, the chosen couple should not be careless." Jihan stopped looking at Kana with a glance waiting for the young girl's reaction. But Kana was still unmoved she just stared at Jihan flat.
"You're young, your path is still long so please forget about Joddy. Find another man who might be the same status. If Joddy won't let you go, you'll have to take it off."
Kana clenched her hands under the table withstanding the tightness in the chest.
"It's Laras, she's Joddy's future wife." Jihan pointed at the woman sitting next to her, Kana's gaze inevitably led to Laras, the shoulder-haired woman with a mole under her eyes smiling faintly.
"She's still Joddy's father's colleague, we know her inside out and she's a woman who deserves Joddy's company."
Kana was still silent, she didn't know what to say. His tongue feels ugly. Cana could not think her heart was too sick. It is undeniable that his feelings for Joddy have begun to grow and take root, it is not easy to kill these feelings.
"This is a deputy director at a mining company."
He is just a customer service person.
"He's an S2 graduate at Harvad."
And Kana is just an SI graduate at a regular private university.
"He already has a house, a car even has his own boutique business. "
All right, Kana lost a landslide. He doesn't have everything Joddy's mom says. The house and the car are just a relic of Adrian.
" Joddy's a good boy of a lifetime he never ruined anyone's daughter, quite frankly I was shocked to see the incident the other day. But I'm sure Joddy wouldn't have done that if he hadn't been teased." This time Jihan looked at Kana sharply, as if explaining that the last sentence was meant for her.
"So, please let go of Joddy. Stay away from him, if you need money I can give anything, you just call the nominal. Make sure the amount can meet the needs of you and your orphaned child. Well, don't let your son know his mother's a"
"Enough, Auntie!" Sambar Kana quickly then returned Jihan's gaze, she shouldn't be afraid, right? Kana has self-esteem she was silent with Jihan's humiliation not out of fear. But Jihan is the mother of a man she loves not worth treating badly. But Jihan's words just now, made her pride hurt.
"Tante can insult me as low as possible, but never bring my child in this matter" said Kana, his hand gripped the tip of the blazer he was wearing. Kana tried desperately to keep the tears from dripping out, she should not look weak in front of Jihan and Laras.
"If what Auntie wants me to do is stay away from Auntie's son, I will!" Kana heavily says this, but she has to because from the beginning Kana knew Joddy's parents would never like her.
"good. " Jihan smiled with satisfaction, then his hand reached into the bag with the most expensive brand.
"Here please write the nominal."Jihan thrusts a check on Kana.
"The amount I asked for will never be able to give Auntie. So stop judging me with money. I'll stay away from Brother Joddy, I'll let him go. " Kana stared intently at Laras who was smiling obliquely underestimating it. Then looking at Jihan who was staring at Kana with her jaw hardened, her pride felt scratched. Kana felt that she underestimated him.
"But I'm not sure if Brother Joddy can take me off, so don't mistake me if he's going to keep chasing me, because by the time that happens I'm already away." Kana smiled faintly then took her tote bag ready to leave.
"I'm waiting to hear from you." Jihan said quickly.
"soon."
Kana almost ran with tears that she could not bear anymore she wanted to quickly get out of the restaurant. He paid no heed as the other diners stared at him in astonishment, all he had in mind was to get away as quickly as possible even when he bumped into another visitor who had just entered the restaurant he did not care.
"Sorry."
"Eh, Cana?"
Kana was forced to stop and looked towards the owner of the voice that called out to her.
"Pak Dipta?" Kana nodded at the man who was her superior.
"Are you okay?" Dipta catches something strange on Kana.
Kana hurriedly lowered her head to wipe her tears, hopefully Dipta did not have time to see Kana's tears. The Creator cannot see him crying.
"I'm doing fine. Sorry sir, excuse me." Kana just realized that Dipta is not alone but with a girl, who Cana guessed is her lover.
"Oh, yes please." Dipta did not want to ask much, he did not want to interfere in the affairs of Kana. She just stared at Kana until she was lost from her sight.
