THE UNIVERSE

Kenzie Mahawira

More and more days, Alia tried to figure out the figure of the man. And God guided Alia's finger by finding the man's social media account on Facebook.

After getting information from Sani and Arnah, Alia now finds out that the man is named Kenzie Mahawira. She is three years older than Alia. Maybe because before college was not his priority.

Just three minutes ago Alia asked for friendship on Kenzie's account, it was confirmed. The opportunity to become a stalker will not be missed by Alia. Alia observed every post uploaded by Kenzie on the Facebook page.

Oh it turns out he's an Ansor GP cadre too. It is only fitting that he understands the call of friends. Ehh, he can be edited as well as it turns out. Well, if so there can be a reason to buy the edit or ask him to teach. Hehehe said Alia without a sound.

Since fifteen minutes ago Alia is still surfing on social media accounts that she has. Alia had already recorded Kenzie's number.

Time runs fast for Alia, somehow first when ventured to send a message to whatsapp number Kenzie. Instead of wanting to buy the usual photo edits made by Kenzie, this actually ended up teasing each other in their chat.

After teasing each other in chat, Kenzie ventured to invite Alia to meet at their campus side restaurant. Their first meeting turned out to make Alia began to fall in love with the figure of Kenzie Mahawira.

No need to doubt the physical Kenzie that already looks perfect for the eyes of Alia, in addition to having a perfect physical turns Kenzie also has a perfect mind.

At that time that only remembered in the mind of Alia was a remark from Kenzie, "Al, every woman has rights like humans in general. Both men and women are human. You deserve to be a leader if you want to be a leader. You deserve a high education if you want it. Women can fight injustice just like men. You can change your life if you want to Al"

Since the words of Kenzie, it seems that Alia just wants to keep looking for reasons to be able to learn and discuss with him. Whatever it was, even though it was something that Alia herself knew.

Alia's friendship is getting closer to Kenzie, there are various reasons that Alia uses to admire Kenzie's figure. They often discuss, walk together, and of course each of them has their own way of living life.

Kenzie had officially joined PMII at that time, of course it made them more smoothly looking for a time gap to discuss together. Alia was also happy.

Until finally...

"Al, we're friends. But I love you" said Kenzie, at the time they had just finished a discussion about their respective activities in the past week before meeting.

Alia was silent, staring fixedly at the figure of Kenzie who was in front of her. They were sitting in a small corner around the stadium. Kenzie deliberately invited Alia to meet at night because of her busyness that always focused on SMEs or some kind of extra curricular during school.

Kenzie is still stirring his favorite black coffee, while occasionally smoking the super djarum cigarette he always carries. For Kenzie, discussion without cigarettes and coffee is less delicious.

"Ken, I know your story though it's not necessarily true and it's definitely not all. Because I've never heard it straight from your mouth. You used to love a woman so much that you finally feel hurt when she prefers to be betrothed by her parents. Even until now you haven't been able to move on, have you?" lirih Alia's.

Kenzie stared fixedly at the face of Alia who was looking down beside him. "Lying if I've moved on Al, I'm afraid to start and afraid to end. Since we became friends and discussed each other, many changes have happened to each of us. You feel it, don't you Al?"

"Yes I feel it too, but I also don't want Ken to drag on. Someday you will easily admit you have no relationship with anyone including me but in fact you give different attention to one of the women I never knew at all. I'm also afraid of heartache if you haven't been able to move on, what else plus other things that I haven't predicted, Ken" said Alia as she stared fixedly at the eyes of the man who was sitting in front of her.

"Tell me Al, do you love me?" ask Kenzie

Alia fell silent again, she was busy closing her eyes a few times. In his heart of hope, may this feeling not get bigger on Kenzie.

"I-I love you too Ken" said Alia.

The thin smile was seen from Kenzie's face, it turns out that the girl he loved also loved him. Sure Kenzie is happy.

"Now I ask you again, I give you two choices. Do you want me to help make that feel or do you want to erase it until it's left?" said Kenzie

"You mean?"

"Here you go, just answer Al"

"Of course I want to make Ken feel, but I feel too selfish. I don't want to be selfish either" said Alia

"Not if you already want it to be selfish huh, Al?"

"But that doesn't mean I want to erase Ken's taste, so if you can't accept my feelings yet. This feeling of mine should be my business. The problem of your attitude towards my feelings let it be your business only" Alia tried to take the middle path that she thought wise

"It's also my business Al"

"Why is that?" alia asked confused

"Because I'm the one you care about. Your feelings exist because of me. I also don't want to see people who love me feel the pain of Al" Kenzie replied

But in the end, you'll still hurt me Ken. Alia's heart wails.

Alia's face lowered even more after hearing Kenzie's explanation. That night really felt really stifling for Alia.

Even from that night, Alia tried to keep her heart from turning away from Kenzie. Although consciously that Kenzie does not necessarily accept his heart.

I don't know what that night's affection meant for the two of them. They will only return to be friends of discussion until the time that is not specified later.

As a woman, it is clear that Alia hopes to become Kenzie's life partner. A man who has changed his life for the better. Now Alia has changed the way she views and thinks, all because of Kenzie. Everything that was shown and discussed by Kenzie made Alia more able to organize herself.

"Al, throw it all to God. I was in your position too. You love A but A loves B. His love claps one hand" said Kenzie.

What else do you mean, Ken? ask Alia in my heart.

Seriate...
