The First Night of Cana (Angel Without Wings)

Gio vs Joddy

Kana doesn't think about Gio. It seems like Gio is the type of man who does not give up or maybe just curious about him. Various rejections Kana has done. From subtle to overt rejection. But look, almost every day he sends food to the pantry under the guise of 'eaten together' when Kana is not stupid, Gio is trying to take his heart. On other days, Gio invited Kana to lunch outside or go home together and both things Kana refused. Kana ignores Nurul's words saying Kana is too expensive to sell. Not all men can accept the status of her widowed and blah.bla.. Kana won't take a headache.

"Where to go home?" Again and again, Gio offered to drive Kana home.

Kana shook her head slowly while showing the key to the bike.

"Eat together if that's it?" Gio still did not want to give up, Kana noticed Gio through the tail of her eyes. For the size of a man his age Gio still looks young he is also good looking or said Moli is not shy to be invited by the condangan. But somehow Kana's not interested at all. Only Adrian is the most handsome man in the world to Kana.

"Sorry Sir. Taps"

"Come on Kana, just eat. If you're afraid that I'm doing something bad or that we're afraid of rumors, we're using our own vehicles. You take the car and I take your bike." Masa Gio had the heart to let Kana ride the bike while she was in the air-conditioned car.

"But sir, say-"

"This once is Na," cut Gio with a face full of hope but more looks clear. Kana goes awry, either she will refuse for the umpteenth time or she accepts with various consequences.

Ah, after all just eating, doesn't mean that she has any taste in Gio.

" Yes, but I still use my own bike, sir." Just this once and hopefully Gio isn't big-headed and feels Kana gave him the green light.

Gio's face looks bright. "Then we meet at the CTF. The seafood restaurant on the way Commander."

Kana just nodded then walked towards the parking lot.

The restaurant looked quiet when Kana and Gio arrived. Though the clock came home from the office but somehow this restaurant feels lonely. Or was it once deserted and Gio deliberately chose this place because it was quiet?

"You like shrimp, don't you? That means no shrimp allergy, right?" Gio asked just as Kana finished sending a message to her mom's number telling her she was going home a little late.

"I don't have any food allergies, sir" said Kana.

"Don't call Sir. We're not in the office." Gio intended to 'scrape' the distance between them in order for Kana to become more familiar with him. And it wasn't awkward that he could launch his action to get Kana's heart or at least for now Kana's attention was enough.

"Sorry sir, I can't." Kana smiling. What do you want to be called? Mas's? Sis? Kana doesn't want Gio to think Kana gave him a chance.

Gio didn't want to mess up, he preferred to be quiet and not force Kana. Gio was afraid that Kana would even stay away from him. It's better now that she's playing pretty. Slowly.

"How old is your child?" Gio searched for another topic so that Kana would not feel awkward.

"Three years, sir."

"Well, it's funny." Gio stopped his chatter because the food they ordered came. "My son two. SD and SMP, they follow their mother but every weekend I always invite to stay at home. Yes, even though her parents are divorced but I always make sure they won't lose the affection of both parents." Gio continued his talk. Kana actually did not listen too much to what Gio said earlier, he was more interested in processed shrimp and squid in front of him.

"If your husband died why Na? Sorry if I was presumptuous," asked Gio carefully. Kana lowered the spoon that had almost entered her mouth.

"Car accident." Kana answered softly, her free hand clenched under the table. His appetite was gone when suddenly the memory of the accident just flashed by.

"Oh, sorry. I'm sorry if I reminded you of the accident."

Kana just smiled faintly and started eating her food. There and Gio were busy with their respective thoughts, until a man approached their table.

"Sir, are you eating here too?"

Kana raised her head and she gasped in surprise when she saw Joddy standing in front of her with a questioning face.

"Oh, Kana's sister. Sorry yes, ngajak Kana eat without permission," said Gio smiled as a courtesy and hope to get added value in the eyes of Joddy.

Joddy stared at Gio cynically. Thank goodness to wake up.

"Well done, Deck?" joddy asked ignoring Gio's greeting who looked at him wrongly because he felt ignored.

Kana who realized it felt bad for Gio, even though Kana was uncomfortable with him, but ignored the disrespectful taste.

"Just starting, brother. Joddy ate too?" Cana asked back.

Joddy nodded. "Kevin's birthday." Then look at Gio." Mind if I sit and wait for my friends?"

Be clear! " No, please sit." Gio nodded politely.

Joddy pulled out an empty chair beside Kana then sat down casually. If I'm honest, Kana is comfortable when Joddy sits next to her, even though she's a little worried that Joddy's attitude towards Gio will get worse, like cynical for example. Because Joddy was almost like Kanda. A protective older sister as a man approaches Kana.

"You want to eat again, brother?" Kana offers the food on her plate.

Joddy shakes. "It's full, quickly spend me coming home again."

"Keep the friends of Brother?" kana asked just as a young man shouted towards them.

"Bang, look for it too. So come with me?" yell out Joddy's friend.

Joddy. "Through it!" Sounded disappointed sigh friends Joddy yanv then go hand in hand after saying goodbye from far away.

"Why not come, sister?" ask Kana.

"They just want karokean. " Joddy shrugged his shoulders unconcerned.

"You live in a house with Kana?" Gio tries to interact with Joddy. Anyway Joddy's Kana's sister she should be nice to him.

"Not yet."

Joddy's answer made Kana turn her head quickly towards him. Mean what?

"Oh, indeed if the house is already decked out at work, want to move away a bit heavy," replied Gio.

Joddy grieving. Tau sok!

"It's not that if we get married, we'll move to an apartment. " Joddy answered straightforwardly his gaze was straight towards Kana who was looking at him in disbelief as well as Gio who reflexively dropped his spoon and fork until it sounded clangs quite loud.

"W-what? Be married? But you guys"

"Sister' call is commonly used. The clothes seller just called the customer 'Sister'," between Joddy made Gio more agape and Kana was too shocked just to refute him.

"But Kana never said she had a future husband." Gio looked at Kana with blame.

"Because he is ashamed or still shy because the date and month we have not specified. Isn't that right, honey?" Joddy said, his hand rubbed Kana's head gently, her smile sweet and the loving look was not made to feel natural. Natural.

Seeing it all made Gio jealous and felt lied to. So, why didn't Kana just be honest with her if she had a future husband? Makes her struggle feel useless.

"Oh, sorry then , I guess Kana's still single." Gio smiled faintly but his gaze was hurt and angry.

"Sorry Kana, I forgot that there was an appointment with the kids. You guys just keep eating it and I'll pay." Gio got up from his seat and then unceremoniously left. Joddy grieved inwardly as he looked at Gio's attitude.

"Sister, what are you talking about? Mr. Gio misunderstood," said Kana shortly after Gio was out of sight. Joddy leaned her body to look straight at Kana.

"Why do you have to keep her feelings? You like her?" accuse Joddy.

Kana sighed. " He's Kana's superior, brother. I don't have any feelings. Brother doesn't need to talk like that. Mr. Gio will think I'm a liar."

"No need to think about her feelings."

"He's my superior brother."

"I knew. But he has intentions of approaching you."

"Where is wrong? We are both single."

"Because I'm jealous, Na!"

Kana frowning. "Jealous?"

Joddy was speechless, he was alluring to himself for being too rash. "I mean, I don't like you getting too close to the guy you just met." Joddy shifted his eyes

" I know, Brother is worried about me. You all told me to heal the wounds by opening my heart and I tried to do it. But does Big Brother know with my status that widowed and have one child is not easy to get a partner who would accept me sincerely? Not all single and never married men want to be with me. I know what kind of man approached me. A widower with two kids, because what? Because I'm Widow Brother." Kana said with teary eyes.

"You don't know, brother. How hard am I to live with this status? Every day always gets insinuations and ridicule because of my status. Who wants to be in a position like me now? There's no Brother!" Kana was unable to hold back her tears

Joddy who had chosen silence and listened to Kana reveal her heart now dared to look at Kana. Joddy ventured to wipe Kana's cheek wet with tears. The once innocent little girl had now turned into a woman who was good at covering up her feelings. It looks strong but inside it is fragile.

"I'm sorry, Dek. It makes you cry." Joddy pulled Kana's chin so that their gazes were aligned.

"But you're wrong to say that no single man who has never been married wants to marry you. You're wrong." Joddy gave a pause waiting for the reaction of Kana who just looked at him with tears welling up in her eyes. Blinking alone could be sure the tears were flowing profusely wet his cheeks.

"There's a man who sincerely loves you, Na. And that guy" Joddy clasped Kana's hand."I'm."

Kana was shocked.
