The Love Rhyme of Kawa

SCK 28: The Difficulties of Understanding the Eve

Mayra stared at the pus of what had just happened, on one hand she was grateful Zahra was fine, on the one hand she had already gotten an answer to last night's events. Her wry smile expands, Kawa is not for her. It was clear that Zahra was the girl chosen by Kawa. Mayra immediately left the lake, leaving all the fishing gear she had used and her friends.

"Are you okay?" Tania confirmed, the look on her face was no longer as golden as before, she saw Zahra was able to respond.

"It's okay" Zahra looked cold.

"Let me help you change" Tania offered.

"Please get my clothes in the bag, I can change my clothes myself" Zahra said. Tania immediately brought a change of clothes for Zahra.

Kawa had also left Zahra's tent after she dropped Zahra off, she had also changed clothes because her clothes were soaking wet.

Mayra follows Zahra and Tania.

"Are you okay?" Mayra saw Zahra who had changed clothes. Zahra.

"Alhamdulillah it's okay, sorry to mess up your show" Zahra apologized to Mayra, Mayra shook her head, she sat in front of Zahra and hugged her.

"I should be the one apologizing, shouldn't be fishing in the morning"

"It's okay, anyways I'm fine" Zahra rubbed Mayra's back.

Tania held out a glass of warm tea for Zahra.

"Thank you" Zahra gulped down the drink Tania gave her to warm herself up.

Zahra was not good at swimming, but the incident really made her shock, she should not have been thrown into the lake, Kawa should not have helped her earlier. Is Mayra okay now? didn't want him to see Mayra jealous to see Kaw helping her earlier.

        ***

"I'm sorry" Mayra said with her cheerful face, she was able to hide what was happening in her heart. As usual, he looks happy.

"For what?" asked Kawa shortly after turning off her motorbike, she had just driven Mayra home. Kawa is not good enough to guess the contents of someone's heart, especially a woman. He saw Mayra was fine and like a cheerful yesterday.

"For last night" Mayra still smiled.

"Every night?" Kawa seemed to think.

"Yes, forget about last night and just assume it never happened" Mayra said, if she knew what was really going on, didn't want her to express her feelings to Kawa, she'd rather just keep it.

"I should be the one apologizing" Kawa finally gave an answer. "Thank you for being such a good friend" Kawa smiled, she held Mayra's hand. "Be a good brother, friend, and friend". It was the best set of words he could say, he himself did not quite understand how to understand women. Little does she know the direction of the conversation right now, Mayra was talking about last night when Mayra expressed feelings for her.

"Why didn't you ever say it?" Mayra could still laugh a little in front of Kawa even though her heart was breaking apart. "Say if you like it?"

"Huhms?" Kawa raised both eyebrows.

"Yes, Zahra is that? don't pretend and don't lie to me, okay?. I'll help you after this, but now go home, my body feels tired, I want to rest"

"Rest, don't think about it" Kawa stroked Mayra's shoulder. Kawa didn't want to extend this discussion.

        Mayra stepped into her room, her heart was broken, she lay her body on the sofa. Mr. Broto who found his daughter came home soon followed to his son's room.

"Oh, Papa's daughter is home, is your day fun?" Mr. Broto saw Mayra looking not as excited as usual. She approached Mayra, Mayra wiped her tears and looked towards her Papa.

"I'm happy Papa, thank you for letting me celebrate birthdays outside of the same friends" Mayra's eyes were still wet.

"You why? did anyone hurt you? tell Papa" Mr. Broto was upset, not usually Mayra cried, his daughter always smiled cheerfully and almost never cried. Mayra shook her head, Her father came to her room at an inopportune moment.

"Tell Papa, who hurt you, Papa will make the calculations" Mr. Broto was really very angry. "Who brought you home?"

Mayra was still silent, not wanting to make her Papa grow angry.

"Who?" he said with a rather high tone.

"Laughter." answered Mayra. Mr. Broto let out a long sigh, it could have been Kawa who made Mayra cry.

"Did she make you cry?" Mr. Broto frowned, Mayra was silent. Both hands clenched.

"It's not Pa..not him, I made this wound myself" he said, now he can no longer block the clear water that came out of his eye. Mr. Broto looked at his daughter with a look of pity.

"Why?" mr. Broto's voice was low, he didn't want to add to the wound in his daughter's heart. No response from Mayra. "Why? are you in love with her?" guess it. Mayra did not answer, her tears were getting louder, this was not a matter of falling in love, she felt sorry for expressing her feelings last night.

"Papa has said, never fall in love with someone who is not as high as us, so is this? he won't be able to make you happy" Mr. Broto spoke at length. "Look for something that's worth it and can make you happy my dear daughter" Mr. Broto stroked Mayra's head. Mayra couldn't say anything, her father really didn't understand what she was feeling.

        ***

Just as Kawa got inside the store, Mr. Broto brutally called out to her. His face was not well, showing anger, perhaps his head was smoky if it could be seen with the naked eye.

No need for him to call Kawa into his room, he just exploded in the store. Fortunately, the shop was empty.

"What did you do to my daughter? huh uh?" he shouted, Kawa saw the anger of his boss, he had not said anything. And prefer to let his boss let out his anger.

"I rarely saw him grieve, why did you make him cry?" Mr. Broto pointed at Kawa with his index finger, he really could not control his emotions. Rendra who was in the corner of the store until speechless saw Kawa scolded by Mr. Broto.

"Here he is sick, and you know.I fought desperately for my daughter to get her pain healed, now you hurt him, I won't stay silent!"

"Sorry boss? Mayra's sick?" Kawa was worried when she heard Mayra was sick.

"There's no need for you to be pretentious about asking that, which is obviously you who hurt her, right?"

Kawa did not answer, is it because she Mayra is sick? Is Mayra sick from getting a rejection from her? Kawa doesn't care how angry Mr. Broto is, he wants to meet with Mayra.

"There is no need for you to come, and after the completion of the contract, go far away, do not work here again" he threatened. "It's a good thing I'm not firing you right now. Don't try to get close to my daughter, she's not your level!. Mr. Broto left Kawa. He came out of the shop, passed by a graceful woman at the entrance, the woman smiled at Mr. Broto, only that he did not receive friendly treatment. He heard what the fat man said to his employees.

"Laughter." said the woman.

Sontak Kawa turned her head towards the source of the voice, as did Rendra. Not expecting what he saw.
