THE STAIN OF THE PAST

Chapters 19. Out of Town.

By morning around six, Athalla had arrived in front of Kania's room. He knocked on the door of his girlfriend's room slowly. Several times knocked, no word yet. Finally Athalla banged on the door quite hard. A voice sounded from inside the room.

"Who?" kania asked in a hoarse voice, typical of people waking up. The woman was shocked when she heard the sound of a knock. Is that Athalla? Why come so early?

Hearing Kania's hoarse voice, Athalla was sure that the woman must have just woken up. "Me, Nia. You just woke up?"

Kania opened the door, when she saw Athalla, the woman immediately patted her head. I just realized that today they were going out of town.

Deserve Athalla has arrived in front of the cost so early. The man was always on time.

"Gosh, Mas. I just remembered. I took a shower for a while. You sit down first?" said Kania while running back into the boarding room. Kania went straight to the bathroom. Regardless of Athalla still standing in the doorway.

Athalla opened his shoes, without waiting for permission from Kania the man entered and sat on the floor because Kania cost no sofa or chair. Athalla observes the contents of the Kania kos. There is only one mini fridge and stove.

Yesterday during his first visit, Atahlla did not pay attention to the entire cost because he was too tired and sleepy.

Kania, unaware that Athalla is in, exits the bathroom using only a towel. The woman was shocked to see Athalla sitting in the living room of her boarding house.

"Mas Athalla!"

"Sorry, Nia. I'm awkward waiting for you to be alone outside. Still quiet. Sorry I entered without permission.

"Oh, it's okay, brother. I'll take my clothes first" said Kania. The woman went into the room. Kania took her clothes and prepared all the other necessities. About fifteen minutes, Kania came out in neat clothes. He pulled out his suitcase that was filled with clothes.

"Come on, we'll be late. Isn't the meeting at two in the afternoon. I'm the powder in the car!" Kania.

"Here I bring the suitcase. Don't forget your room key!" athalla's orders.

After locking the room, he stepped quickly towards the car. Athalla had waited and opened the car door.

On the way to the city, Kania brushed away the powder and her makeshift lipstick. Athalla looked at me without a blink. The woman who had now become her lover, looked back at Athalla.

"Beauty is natural. Girls usually spend hours dressing up. You're just powder and lipstick."

"I'm not good at dancing. If possible, too. Let's be pretty!" Kania.

"I'd rather see your natural beauty." Athalla scrambles Kania's long hair and takes her into a hug. Athalla did not care about the driver who was paying attention to him and Kania.

The journey to the destination takes four hours. Kania sleeps on her way in the arms of her lover. Before reaching his destination, Athalla awakens Kania. They had lunch before the meeting.

Lunch at a restaurant near the beach. With the breeze, the atmosphere is getting more romantic. Athalla ordered a lot of food to make Kania astonished.

"What's this much food for, Mom?" asked Kania in surprise.

"Let you choose what you want. I don't know what your favorite menu is!" Athalla.

"I'm an all-eater, Mas. Don't think. With sambal I could finish two plates of rice. Most importantly, there is a name. I'm used to living hard."

"Don't talk about your life. I am your future you think of. I'll make all your dreams come true."

Kania wanted to cry because she was moved to hear Athala's words. Just this time Kania felt very happy since Adit ravaged her life. Kania thought there would be no man, no matter who would approach him. After lunch, the trip continued.They will go directly to the hotel where the meeting took place.

The driver parked the car in the courtyard of a star hotel. Kania and Athalla went straight to the hotel. Towards the elevator that will take them upstairs where the meeting is taking place.

Kania and Athalla entered the elevator as soon as the door opened. Someone called Kania's name. Kania is looking for the origin of the sound. The woman was shocked by what she saw.

"Adit ..." call Kania after seeing the origin of the voice calling her name.
