Wounds of a Woman

Episode 6

CHAPTER 6

Because I Love You

Krisna got down from the friend's car, then they walked together to a cafe. When they found an empty table, they immediately filled it. The cafe is simple, but does not take away its classic atmosphere. So the cafe looks elegant not with luxury but with the arrangement and taste of good food. Krishna watched this room, his eyes upon every painting on display. But there is one view that makes the eyes of Krishna sharpen. The girl sat down with the man who had made her cringe this morning.

Without Krisna noticing, her feet stepped closer to the place. He did not care about the friend sitting next to him. He even confidently pulled an empty seat next to Ariana who inevitably he faced directly with Andre, the Rector. Andre narrowed his eyes, he did not like it if anyone else was near his. But he tried to refrain from being overstepped, because not only the figure of Krishna he found but also Rakan.

Friend is the President of BEM, but what makes him feared by people other than that is of course the name of the friend of Salman Al-Fatih's family. Families are well-respected in this country, if you could say Andre lost far with the figure of a friend. The presence of Rakan sitting next to Andre made the atmosphere at the place gripping, because the aura of Friend was so obvious.

"Saalamualaikum Mr. Andre, forgive us for joining here."

"Waalaikumsalam, of course it's okay. Let's just say we are brothers" Andre said with a big smile to Rakan.

Ariana, a clumsy smile honestly he was shocked to see the arrival of these people when the circumstances were not right. Ariana's heart raced, she was afraid her secret would be exposed she was afraid that these people would find out. Arianna looked at Andre confusedly, but Andre replied calmly as if this was just a trivial thing.

Throughout the dinner, Friends and Andreah were dominating the conversation. While Krisna and Ariana are silent they are clumsy with each other.

"When this morning, the young man was so chatty about talking to me." Andre said there was a little bit of satire there.

"You know he's trying to get me on his side, desperate for the young man.he should see who he wants to do the doctrine on, hahahah"

"But I'm also a little impressed with Krishna, he's so articulate."

"But look at your friend now he is so silent. What's wrong with your friend."

"Maybe he's got the pink virus again, sir, just be young." My friend mocked Krishna.

Krisna looked at Friend as if he was going to protest. Ariana's cell phone voice diverts Krisna, Krisna's forehead shrinks when Ariana comes out asking for permission to leave. With the water in front of her, Krisna left without saying goodbye following the departure of Ariana. Ariana looks so agitated, I don't know why she looks like what. Ariana felt like she had an important business and Krishna was curious.

Ariana was standing on the side of the road, it looks like Ariana is waiting for a vehicle. Krisna quickly headed towards the parking lot to pick up her car. A black car, which Krisna believes is an invitation car, came to Ariana, but before the car arrived in front of Ariana. Krisna preceded him, without Ariana knowing if the car he was riding in was Krishna's car. Because their car just happens to be the same and towering.

Ariana was sitting restlessly in the passenger seat, when she wanted to mention her address. His face was shocked when he saw that the driver was Krishna.

"Where are you going?" ask Krishna.

Ariana, who was shocked, went straight to the door, without answering, trying to open the door. But unfortunately the door was locked, inevitably Ariana sat back and breathed in disappointment.

"Where are you going?" repeat Krishna.

"Great park" said Ariana, she did not want Krisna to know where to go. He could not have said if his mother had relapsed in the hospital. Just the silence there was no conversation between them, there was only the roar of the sound of cars splitting the highway.

"Alright," with the fast pace of Krishna to the place, although the astonishment is still in his heart.he doubts if the place Ariana wants to visit is the Garden. Because what was Ariana looked very agitated and rushed.

Ariana got out of the car quickly, she paid no heed to Krishna. Honestly, he was afraid he wanted to know how his mother, Ariana, walked without direction through the dark garden. Without Ariana realizing that if Krishna followed her every step, Ariana cried so stiflingly, she did not care about anything. Krishna walked after Ariana in the back. Even Krisna could hear every sob and cry that Ariana could endure.

Krisna's heart was moved, I don't know if it was coming back. Not wanting to hear the sobbing, not wanting to see the girl's pain, and wanting to hug the girl. Krishna no longer cared if he had to fall into that sin, Krishna sped up his pace, thrice a footstep, Krishna turned Ariana's body upside down. Then he took the girl into his arms. In her warm embrace, Krisna's heart was pounding so fast she felt the warmth.they hugged in the middle of the starry night, under the darkness of the garden lights.

Ariana was stunned, she did not expect that Krishna would embrace her. I don't know if there's a feeling of protection in the man's arms that he never got from any man, including his father. But a second later, Ariana realized that all men are assholes if her father can sell it and even hurt it let alone the men out there. Ariana let go of that warm embrace.

"Why?" krisna asked when Ariana let go of the hug, Ariana was silent she even ran away from Krishna.

His name is not Krishna if he can't get what he wants. Krisna ran after Ariana and I don't know which whisper from the devil, when she saw Ariana's sad eyes there was a desire to kiss the girl. Krishna caught the girl's hand, then brought her a hug. Krisna kissed Ariana's lips Krisna touched Ariana's lips gently, Ariana's eyes rounded receiving Krisna's sudden kiss. They kissed, I don't know how long.

Honestly Ariana has been used to do this with Andre, but with Krisna Ariana like a teenager who just had a first kiss. His body trembled, his heart fluttered he was never treated as softly as this. Usually he was only made an object of satisfaction, but was not the same as being kissed with lust or not he was equally a place of impingement. Then the super ego Ariana reappears, she again encourages Krishna. His round eyes looked at Krishna, still tears on Ariana's cheeks.

"I'm sorry" said Krisna.

"You really, really," Ariaana could not continue her words, honestly she was confused by how she felt at this moment. honestly he was happy but there was a feeling of disgust towards himself which again became an outlet for a man's lust. Why has no man ever respected her as a woman?

"I'm sorry, I beg you." Krishna.

"I'm sorry" Krishna breathed a sigh of relief.

"I know what you're feeling," Krisna looked at Ariana deeply,

"I know there's something you're hiding,"

"I know, you feel deep pain."

Ariana was silent, her eyes staring back at Krishna.

"Let me protect you, let me be your wound wiper, and allow me to heal your pain,"

"I feel responsible for the pain in your heart... Ariana"

"Why do you care about me?" Ariana looked at Krisna with sadness, her heart was fragile honestly she did not want to believe the words of Krishna. But his heart said something else, his heart forced him to be next to Krishna. His heart said that if Krishna was his hero, the one who would take him away from this cruel world.

"Why?"

"Because I love you,"

Those three words crippled Ariana's brain right then and there,,,

It was a silent night, only the wind blew.Their eyes looked at each other, seeking the truth of the created sense.
