The First Night of Cana (Angel Without Wings)
Absurd
"Sister!Do you realize what you just said?" Kana took off Joddy's hand which wrapped around her fingers.
"I'm sober."
Kana shakes. " I assume you're kidding, brother."
"I'm not kidding Kana. I'm serious about what I just said," Joddy argued he didn't take it if what he said was taken seriously. It takes courage to say it all.
"Sister, don't because of my status then you can play with my feelings! I'm not a cheap woman, brother!"
"Na, how could you think what I said was a joke. I never intended to play you Na."
Kana laughed blandly then looked at Joddy sharply. " How can I not consider this a joke if the one who said it was a man who already had a future wife?!"
Joddy. "Candidate ist-"Joddy was silent.
Damnit damnit!
Still Cana thought that Siska was his future wife. Though at that time Joddy was just a fad introducing Siska one of his office friends while in Papua as a prospective wife, only for Adrian to assume he could move on from Kana. They did get into a relationship but broke up because Joddy really could not consider Siska more than just a friend.
"Me and Siska-okay, we've been together for 2 months. Then I agreed to break up because I couldn't think of him as more than a friend. And until now we were just friends" Joddy said, hoping Kana would believe everything she said.
"In contact there is also a sign lovenya, your friendship is amazing huh?" Kana Syndicates.
Joddy breathed a tired sigh. The love sign behind Siska's name on the contact on her phone was the result of sabotage Siska during their courtship and Joddy has not been removed until now. It was only natural that Kana thought she still had a relationship with Siska.
"But I'm a tid-"
"Sorry Brother. I'll take what you said just as a joke. " Kana doesn't want to hope because Joddy deserves someone better than Kana. She is single and has never been married. Kana gestured for silence as Joddy prepared to refute her words again.

Since the meeting at the restaurant, the atmosphere changed. Gio becomes 'ordinary' towards Kana, making Nurul Si Biang Gossip wonder and always corner Kana because Kana never responds to Gio's kindness. Making Kana feel used by Nurul for Gio's kindness.
What about Joddy? Kana doesn't know, she purposely avoided Joddy. Every time Joddy comes home, Kana accidentally does not meet him even though Ken always persuades him to meet his beloved 'Om Oddy.
Surprisingly, Joddy does not give up every day, he sends a message or voice message with a typical Joddy change. Unfortunately, Kana did not respond to him at all. But this morning he was shocked by the presence of Joddy sitting at the CS queue table. And happened to be left behind 2 customers, Joddy and a 65-year-old father.
Shit, why try?
"Antrian 57 please go to CS A2 counter"
The calling machine rang, standing up was a man in a shirt of crisp flowers.
"Key, it's me who handles it. The other one" whispered Kana half forcefully.
"Lho why?"
"Udah, you are the other father, you need the handsome one" whispered Kana again. Key stared at the queue chair and nodded as Old Man stood in front of his desk.
The calling machine rang this time Joddy stood up and headed for Key's empty desk.
"This is Ma'am, I want to open a savings account." The Old Man said his need.
"May I borrow your ID, sir?" Kana smiled sweetly to make the Father happy not to play when looking at Kana's smile.
Joddy who also happened to be sitting at Key's desk snorted when he saw the Father who smiled flirtatiously towards Cana. He knew Kana had deliberately avoided him because it was obvious that Kana should be serving him
"Can I help you sir?" Key smiled at Joddy who was even cool to watch Kana.
"Hmm.hmm..." Feeling unable to get a response Key cleared up Joddy's realization that the beautiful woman in front of him was waiting.
"Oh, yes, I want to change the ATM. Broken." Joddy thrust the card at Key who frowned in wonder because the ATM card had Joddy as deliberately scratched.
"Well, this is why sir, if I may know?" Key idly asked her face displaying a sweet smile.
"Oh, that's Mama's wash."
" Wife is not careful?" Okay, Key realizes this does not fit the SOP but at least he wants to know if this handsome man is still single or already in the tail. Sometimes it is necessary.
"It's precisely because it's still its own Ma'am that it can be careless." Okay, Joddy's starting to follow the game. Kana tries not to be affected by focusing on the Old Father whose ID card is named Burhannudin Hamzah who unlucky in the marriage status written 'Young divorced dead'.
" Can You See the ID and the savings book?" Sayup-sayup Kana heard Key ask in a softened voice. That must be the kid trying to ascertain Joddy's status.
"Eh, right you're still single." Key giggled amusedly and Joddy spoke softly as if Kana could not hear clearly, but after Joddy whispered and they laughed. Shit, why did he feel dislike like this seeing the closeness of Joddy and Key?
"Mr..Ma'am..." Kana gasps when Burhan knocks on the table calling Kana who has already dissolved her concentration.
"Oh, sorry, Father. I photocopied it first with the ID card. " Kana smiled awkwardly, her tail glancing at the next table where Joddy and Key were chatting instead. What the fuck? Intentionally make it hot cold?
"Mother is single?" burhan asked, Kana who had finished copying Burhan ID card just smiled. It's double sir!
"I have a son Ma'am. Working at the TV station. If I want to introduce later, or the Mama want to be the same as me. I happen to be a widower, Mbak hehehe.."
It is common for Kana to get a Customer like Mr. Burhan, like to ask for contact, ask for a home address even openly ask her out, especially if the customer is a young entrepreneur. But Kana still has to be professional. He had to work on the SOP so he said, "Thank you, sir."
"This I have helped fill, please Mr. Sign first, I will process soon." Kana's smile remained on her back even though she was nervous because Joddy was staring intently at her and Mr. Burhan.
" May I have the phone number, ma'am?" burhan asked still hoping. Joddy raised one eyebrow when he heard Burhan's request.
" I'm sorry, sir, in accordance with the SOP if there is interest or need information please contact our call center, thank you. Please wait a minute I will input your data first." Kana keeps the image from looking hopeful.
"Well, Ma'am. Who knows if you want to watch football in Senayan." Burhan is still whining.
"My number is Sir. We'll have a hotar." It was not Key let alone Kana who answered but Joddy who was smiling sweetly towards Burhan with flickering flirtatious eyes. Kana gawks, Burhan shudders and Key gaped in disbelief at Joddy's absurd behavior.
