The First Night of Cana (Angel Without Wings)

my future

Kana gazed up at the blue sky, the sunlight felt warm on her face, Kana closed her eyes for a moment and smiled as she recalled her memories with Adrian a few years ago. With Adrian he once came to this city. Visiting some places. Malioboro, beaches in Gunungkidul and culinary hunting. Kana still remembers very well when the hands of her and Adrian joined hands along the sidewalk along Maliboro with Kana's unrelenting babble to comment on the merchants who offered her merchandise. Now Kana is back in town but not with Adrian anymore...

"Purple, endong?" Ken's petite voice rippled the daydream of Kana. Ken's two thumpy hands stretched forward asking Kana to hold him. The little man duplicates Adrian, the only most valuable treasure Adrian left behind as his successor was smiling sweetly his white cheeks became reddish from being exposed to the heat.

"Want to see a monkey? Come on, Om carry!" Before Kana welcomed Ken's hand a hand had preceded him.

Kanda smiled and took Ken to the monkey cage of one of the animal collections in the zoo with the name Gembiraloka. Kana only shook her head softly as she saw Ken and Kanda screaming in excitement unconcerned by the gazes of the zoo visitors gazing towards them.

"Yes!" A clap averted Kana's gaze.

" Eh the future sister-in-law who holds the title M.Pd!" Kana pretended to be shocked when she saw Nea smiling beside her.

"What the hell are you!" Nea nudged Cana on the shoulder and signaled for Kana to walk with her after Kanda and Ken.

"What percentage of your wedding preparations are you?" kana asked Nea they went hand in hand.

"85%N%. Your brother tuh, insistent want to make the same march tense hanging out. How ogah!" Nea pouted towards Kanda, who explained to Ken about the animal they were looking at.

Kana laughed and looked at Nea. "I don't think I have my own brother-in-law. A great gift for Bang Kanda to get young leaves," godanya. Nea only chuckled in response to Kana's joke. She is also happy to have a sister-in-law. No need to know each other. No need to adapt to each other.

"How else do you want? Your brother is chasing you anyway! I'll be a kasian" Nea said. But Cana knew Nea did not mean it. He had already fallen too deep on Kanda, even though their age was quite far apart. Just like him and Adrian used to be Joddy. Joddy? Speaking of the man, Kana hasn't spoken to him yet. They split wordlessly at the airport after the plane landed. Joddy has his own job and Kana has to go to the hotel in preparation to attend Nea's graduation. If their parents chose to stay in a hotel, Joddy could be now back in Jakarta, I don't know.

"So how's Na?" Nea awakens Cana from her daydream.

"What?" Kana looked at Nea in wonder.

"Yuk sitting there. Let Om and the nephew know each other better." Nea pulled out Kana's hand and invited her to sit on a bench under a shade tree.

"I really hope Na, after me and Kanda get married you follow." Nea clasped Cana's hand tightly. "I know you and Brother Joddy love each other, only you're still afraid to admit it."

"Ne"

"You deserve to be happy. If you think that marrying you again is the same as betraying Brother Ian, you are wrong. Ken needs a father figure other than his grandfather and his om." Nea interrupted Kana.

"I know Ne, but-"

"But you're afraid of people's judgments of you?" Nea pulled both of Kana's shoulders to face her. "Never listen to anyone who judges you negative, Na. They have no right to your life. All you have to do is continue living. That's what Ian wanted. It doesn't have to be with Joddy, but you can consider it. Joddy's a real heartfelt guy. He loves you and Ken."

Kana only sighed then leaned back her body, her eyes glaring far away. "I-" Kana was silent as a bouquet of tulips from behind suddenly stood in front of her. Kana smiled as she prepared to take the flower, unfortunately the flower immediately shifted towards Nea. Must be Bang Kanda! Who else if not him that ignorant?

Kana looked back ready to gush her only sister. But his mouth was locked instantly as he looked not at Kanda who was standing behind Kana and Nea but Joddy. The man who was dressed casually smiled towards Nea with his arms outstretched forward with a bouquet of Kana's favorite tulips.

"Congratulations, for graduation. Sorry I couldn't come up with a job." Joddy smiled sweetly.

"This is for me?" Nea looked at Joddy in disbelief. Kana grieves in heart, what does she mean? Want to make him jealous? Yeah, don't you! Obviously Nea was his sister's future wife.

"Yes to you." Joddy did not look at Kana at all, yesterday alone on the plane his attitude is sweet.sokan want to fight, in fact the boyfriend of his own friend diflitring.

"I followed Ken first." Kana smiled faintly at Nea, then moved from her seat and hurried away with a grumble.

"He said he was going to fight, what proof? My best friend's boyfriend is being teased. " Kana walked over with a slight stomping of her feet. Somehow he became annoyed when Joddy just ignored him. Is it because of Kana's slightly rude attitude towards Joddy on the plane yesterday?

"Hey, if you're angry, don't be held alone."

Kana stopped her steps as Joddy knew she was in front of him, smiling sweetly. Joddy's eyes were shady from behind the minus glasses that framed his handsome face.

"Who is angry?" Kana averted her eyes, long staring at Joddy is not good for her heart health.

"Neighborly," replied Joddy raising a relaxed shoulder. Kana scatters and walks past Joddy, but something warm around her fingers makes her steps stop. Kana's gaze was fixed on Joddy's hand.

"Don't step on your own" whispered Joddy smiling gently. "There's still 35 minutes before we get back to Jakarta."

"Lepasin Brother. Go find other Flirting materials!" kana's still upset.

Joddy smiled then pulled Kana's hand and carried her to the front of the chest.

"From a long time ago, until now only you Cana was inside here." Joddy smiled, he didn't care if people looked at him with fed up looks. Joddy was already impatient, he couldn't hold back any longer to express his feelings for Kana any deeper.

"So, will you try to be with me? And I'll give you a chance to accept me and live in your heart."

As Kana's eyes met Joddy's gentle gaze Kana found sincerity in those eyes. The always shady eyes stared at him.

Kana knows from the past even until now Joddy is always there for her even though Kana is married and secretly Joddy always takes care of Kana in his own way.

Ian, am I wrong to try?

Kana smiled, without saying a word and for Joddy the smile of Kana was the answer.

Kana's eyes widened as Joddy pulled her hand up to smash into her chest, hugging Kana tightly in the middle of the crowd.

"Stay sweet and silent. Let me fight." Joddy's whisper made Kana's smile widen, and Joddy knew it.

Key nudges Kana on the shoulder when he sees Joddy getting out of the car and Key who is just about to go out for lunch at a meatball stall down the street.

"Jiang Mr. Joddy, we're still closed. I can wait another 1 hour." Key deliberately teases Kana. Because Key knows who Joddy is he's not just a customer.

Joddy just chuckled then looked at Kana for a bit. "No objection if you have lunch alone?" ask him on Key. Key who could catch Joddy's intent nodded.

"Okay, I'm used to being alone." Key pretended to sulk then patted Kana on the shoulder and walked to the other side of the road after saying goodbye to Joddy.

"Yeah, we've got 55 minutes left." Joddy pressed his chin towards his car giving Kana a code to rush in.

"A place where we'll meet important people." Joddy smiled, he suddenly leaned towards Kana, Kana's reflexes rewinded her body to stick to the car window and then crossed her arms in front as a form of self-protection.

Once Joddy knew he only intended to put his seatbelt on, Kana calmed down.

"What do you think I'm doing, hem?" Joddy ruffled Kana's hair and chuckled at Kana's overreaction. Joddy won't do what Kana has in mind. All of that has its time. Joddy still has it strong. He was a virgin for 36 years.

Kana felt her chest, why with just such a simple treatment Kana's heart felt beating faster huh?

15 Minutes away, apparently the place Joddy referred to was Adrian's tomb. But why would Joddy bring Kana here?

"Why are we here?" kana asked her heart pounding as Adrian's tombstone began to be seen. Various feelings raged in his mind.

"Hi Bro! Sorry, I'm not here on Friday 2nd." Joddy knelt beside Adrian's grave his hand outstretched touching the tombstone.

Kana knelt down on the other side staring at Joddy and Adrian's tomb alternately. Didn't you listen wrong? Joddy said these two Fridays aren't here, that means Joddy's the one who visits Adrian's grave every Friday?

"Bro, I'm here with Kana. We-I mean I'm here to tell you the same, if I'm going to njagain Kana and your champ." Joddy said with busy hands cleaning the dry leaves around Adrian's tomb.

Kana looked at Joddy in disbelief, so Joddy invited Kana here to ask permission at Adrian's grave?

"Gue knows, you will never be replaced in the heart of Kana and I also do not intend to replace you in the heart of our Kana. But-I ask your permission, make your duty nerusin, take care of Kana and Ken. I promise to take good care of them. I will make Kana happy until she forgets how to be sad. Lo permit me, right?" Joddy said calmly. Suddenly the atmosphere was quiet, and the wind was blowing softly and warmly around them. Kana and Joddy looked at each other. Maybe it was Adrian?

"Sister, sorry Kana. Kana's gonna try to open her heart." Although to be honest you will never be replaced either in my heart or Ken. You're still Ken's father. Kana continues in my heart. Joddy smiled at Kana and then pulled and clasped Kana's hand over Adrian's navel.

"Lo will always be in Kana's heart" said Joddy, his free hand rubbing Adrian's headstone. "Gue promised to take care of Kana and Ken, Ian."

Kana smiled and rubbed Adrian's tombstone and kissed him as if Adrian was still there.

"So you're the brother who visits the grave every Friday, Brother Ian?" ask Kana on the way back to the office. Joddy nodded. Just as Kana's phone was ringing aloud.

"Who?" Ask Joddy quickly.

"Nea," answered Kana showing the name on her phone screen. Kana hurriedly picked it up because there must be something important.

"Yes, what's wrong?" ask Kana .

"Have you opened Instagram yet?"

"Instagrams? Not yet, why?" Kana stared at Joddy who suddenly turned nervous.

"Mending you a check now."

"Okay, I'm closing ya." Kana hastily ended her phone and opened the instagram app. His eyes widened when he saw what Nea meant.

"Sister, did you post a photo of me sleeping in the car when I got home from Jogja?" exclaiming Kana showed her phone screen to Joddy who smiled wrongly.

"Yes, Na."

Kana did not like and then began to read every comment in the post. Everything felt natural except for a comment from a familiar name for Kana.

"Beib?"
