Kanza wiped away the tears that suddenly escaped from one of her eyes. Right now, he was really scared. No, he was even very afraid that the whole world would know that he had a trauma that almost destroyed his mind.
No, his mentality had already been destroyed. He always claimed that he was crazy.
Before the girl actually decided to resume her life as usual, Kanza often cried for no reason, excessive anxiety and fear she often felt.
And it all happened because of his childhood that was far from happy. Try to imagine, since elementary school Kanza has felt the cruel bullying by her peers and seniors. They often yell, force, and even hurt Kanza.
However, all that is nothing compared to the days of SMP. Kanza feels the tremors of fear generated by a man she once thought was good.
Kanza chuckled as the old memory floated back in her brain. One of his hands was raised to beat his head, hoping that the horrifying memory would soon disappear from there.
Not for a moment he was beating his head, someone grabbed Kanza's hand so that his reflex activity stopped.
"Za!" The gentle call that Kanza knew so well made the girl instantly round her eyes. His breathing began to choke, and Kanza began not to dare to raise her face to see who was grasping her hand.
Slowly but surely, the grip on Kanza's hand began to loosen until it finally disengaged completely. With doubt, Kanza began to look up at who had clutched her hand.
He stared at two girls who were none other than Alma and Kayla was smiling awkwardly towards Kanza. The two girls even looked at each other for a while, before finally their attention returned to Kanza.
Kanza downed her hard-earned spit. Both of his palms suddenly felt cold and sweaty. His heart also beat fast not because.
Fearful. Again Kanza felt the fear of her two best friends who might ask Kanza about her strange attitude earlier. Because really for anything, Kanza is not ready to say everything to them if Alma and Kayla really ask about him.
So, what should Kanza say later?
"Gue—"
"Za! Ki-we're going home first, huh? Our parents are waiting for you, "Kayla interjected, reflex makes Kanza immediately silence her mouth with a pair of eyes slightly widened.
"D-yes, Za! Ki-we go first, huh? Tomorrow we come here again, really," Alma's coming along. The girl's words sounded a little stuttered because she was confused about what to say, but in her deepest heart, she was eager to ask Kanza about the girl's attitude some time ago.
However, Alma preferred to hold it. He thought, this is not the right time for him to ask. Let Kanza calm down first for what has happened today.
Kanza again can only swallow her hard-earned saliva. Shortly after, both corners of his lips lifted into a stiff smile that he showed to Alma and Kayla.
"Yes-yes. Be careful on the road, yeah,"
Alma and Kayla smiled back as warmly as possible even though in their hearts they were also very awkward. "Thank you, Za. We go first, yeah, byee..."
After saying that sentence, Alma and Kayla started to pitch hurriedly from Kanza's presence. Leaving the moody returning Kanza with her head lowered deeply.
...****...
Three days since the incident in which Kenzo was hospitalized have passed. Where in previous moments, Kanza more often avoid and always closed on everyone including Alex.
The girl can always stay away from anywhere until Alex himself is difficult to find her whereabouts, even though they live in the same class.
And now, the day on which the long-awaited maths or OSN Olympics will be held soon. At SMA Nusantara. Rival Naruna High School.
Alex was still staring expectantly at his phone screen that was on. Helaan breath is still faithful he let out when there is no notification from there.
He thought, Why hasn't the girl contacted him yet? Did he forget about today?
Kanza is always away, but there is so much Alex has to say and reveal to the girl. Including what Kenzo said three days ago to him.
Flashbacks....
Inside this carbolic-smelling room is only Alex and Kenzo, left, their other friends had left the room to make room for Alex and Kenzo to talk to each other.
The two teenagers seemed to be silent for a while before at last one of them cleared his throat to try to melt the atmosphere. And that person is Kenzo.
"So?" Alex's words are too flat and short a little make Kenzo dazed for a moment.
Innocently, Kenzo asked; "I mean?"
Alex rolled both his eyes and sighed. "Lo forgot? I said, I want to know everything about Kanza, aka your twin! Your brain is not damaged because of the blows of your enemies' men, right?" Alex looked at Kenzo with one of his eyebrows raised.
As for Kenzo, the guy was instantly made speechless petrified with one of his hands touching the chest. Alex's words really pierced to the deepest corner of his heart. Yes, but that's Alex. The owner of a flat face that if once upset, his mouth cake asked for the love of chilies.
"Ck. Yes, yes, yes. Do you want to know what part?" Kenzo asked, it's starting to fall.
"Everything. From beginning to end,"
Kenzo scratched the back of his head that was not itchy, feeling that Alex's request was a little difficult to pin down if he had to tell it from the beginning. It can be endless, his mind grumbles.
"Where? Can, right?" Indict Alex. The reflex makes Kenzo sigh.
"Emmm... Gini, please. How about the language from the most important? My old enemies who cause me I think it has something to do with Kanza. How's it?"
Alex was silent for a moment trying to digest every word from Kenzo. Not long after, the guy agreed. "OKAY. We'll talk from there," he said, and Kenzo nodded back.
"So, this incident started from the time I was with Kanza just a class 2 Junior High. Our school is deliberately different in order not to make people know that I'm actually the same as he is a twin brother. The reason is, you know for yourself. And also, even if they know I'm the same Kanza twin, they'll never believe it because our faces obviously don't look alike,"
Alex tried to secure his seat in a large chair next to Kenzo who was on the hospital blankar. Every now and then, the guy would nod his head while continuing to listen.
"At that time, I accidentally met a senior at my school whose name was Vando—"
"Vando?" Alex interjected with his slightly frowning forehead.
Kenzo nodded, "Yes! My deketeers are now my sworn enemies!"
Alex nodded again and decided to go back.
"At that time I knew him because I had fought with the next class. At that time I almost finished the same class next door, if the Vando did not let me on time. And from that moment on, I started to look at him. Until in the end, the same Vando came to my house without telling, and worse I was no longer at home." Kenzo paused for a moment his words with a thought that floated back to memory a few years ago.
"After that day, I didn't really know what was going on, but for sure, Vando started playing at my house a lot. And what makes me wonder is, Kanza also warmly welcomed her arrival." Kenzo said, then took a deep breath before continuing.
"Until one day, I saw Kanza scared in front of the school gate when Vando came. At the time of the incident, I just got off the car that was brought by my personal driver to pick up Kanza." Kenzo began to link his eyebrows together by taking a deep breath.
"Early as I see it, the cake is nothing suspicious. But until I saw that Vando began to dare to yell at Kanza while tugging at his hand, I immediately realized that he was not a good guy. He even yelled at the madman in front of Kanza to the point of making her shiver in fear." Hearing the words, Alex's previously calm emotions just ignited. Both of his hands began to clench strongly.
"Finally, I who had just considered them, I also ran towards Kanza to protect him until it ended in a fistfight. Because at that time my martial arts had not been how much, I lost so and Kanza managed to be taken by force with him. And, you know where Kanza was taken?" Kenzo hung up his words with a pair of eyeballs staring at Alex with a pretty serious look.
Alex's forehead shriveled again with his thoughts that began to guess. Unfortunately, his brain was stuck thinking of a possibility. Until finally, Alex shook his head, making Kenzo then snorted while smiling cynically.
"Si Vando takes Kanza to an empty house to be held captive while continuing to make Kanza want to be her boyfriend!"
"What?" Alex got up from his sitting position with his pair of almost perfectly rounded eyeballs. His heart suddenly raced with the roar of breathing that began to be irregular. Another retelling of Kenzo really surprised him.
Kenzo did not answer. The guy only nodded a few times with the occasional attempt to swallow his hard-earned saliva.
"Lucky Kanza at that time using a watch that has GPS. So I'm just as Papi's not too hard to figure out where he is,"
Increasingly ignited emotions, Alex then back to sit in his place. His eyes were piercing when he met Kenzo.
"Well, didn't you report to the police? The Vando you said it had a mental illness! There is no way Bokap lo biarin him so after nyakitin his son. Aye, right?"
Kenzo shook his head while slightly lowering his face. "More than that. We even surrounded the child using a police officer, but still he could not be jailed."
"Why?"
"Yes, you think! Fifteen-year-old boy goes to jail!? However, there is no physical evidence to suggest that Kanza was injured—"
"But his mentality is hurting, right?" Again and again, Alex manages to interrupt Kenzo. His emotions have really stuck out to the crown.
"Yes, I know! But it can't! Vando's parents are no ordinary people. It can't be that easy to get him into jail!" Kenzo said, getting Alex emotional.
"And my meeting was the same last afternoon because I was forced to. I was threatened with him. If I hadn't come, Vando would have harassed Kanza. And the threat he never messes around,"
"Alex!" The authentic voice of the real world awakens Alex from what he is daydreaming about. His head that was still faithful looked down at the screen of his phone and looked up and looked back.
Glanced, Mr. Ucup with a look that is much different than usual standing behind Alex with an occasional pounding softly.
"What's up, sir?" Alex asked politely, trying to get up from his sitting position. While Mr. Ucup, he even smiled unusual.
"That's. I just want to remind you, fifteen minutes we leave, yeah. Remember that! There you will not forget to pray. Fill out the questions you think are easy first. Do not rush when reading about. Just slow. Okay?"
Alex chuckled softly as he shook his head. Shortly thereafter, the man began to establish his standing position with one of his hands raised forming an homage. "Ready, Sir!" He said, making Mr. Ucup then nod his head.
"Yes already. Better now you're ready. Oh, ja. You don't want to know, you have to win! Don't disappoint my father! You see, I showed you to other teachers. If you don't win, they'll make fun of me again. You want your favorite homeroom teacher to be made fun of?"
Alex again chuckles, but before long, the guy begins to stabilize himself into his usual calm mode. "Ekhem. Yes, I want to clean up first, sir," said Alex, who was immediately welcomed by Mr. Ucup.
After that, the teacher was not too tall, a little fat and had a bald head and thick mustache was no longer around Alex. After his passing, Alex unceasingly kept shaking his head.
When Alex had actually completed his cleaning activity, the man was about to continue his footsteps but the step was required to be restrained, when someone who for a few days continues to avoid Alex is caught by his sense of sight.
Not wanting to waste any more time, Alex then threw away the backpack that he originally sipped on his left shoulder. Both of his legs immediately rushed to approach a girl who was none other than Kanza was outside the library building.
From the beginning Alex was in the library. The guy was there not without reason, but to re-do the material before in the end he would actually go to the place where the race was held.
Alex further accelerated his footsteps as Kanza walked further away from the library area. Not wanting to be left behind any further, the guy decided to run as hard as he could until in the end, one of Alex's hands managed to pull Kanza's wrist until it made him a bearded reflex and then turned his head.
Realizing what had just happened, Kanza then threw away his gaze and brushed aside Alex's hand which was still on one of his wrists. His head also seemed a little down with the occasional girl would gulp her hard-earned saliva.
Alex stared at Kanza's every move. The guy was still silent while stabilizing his breathing and heartbeat that was pounding because he had just run after Kanza.
"Why?" Alex's voice that sounded slow and flat invited Kanza's attention so that the attention of the girl immediately turned to look at him.
Hearing the innocent question from the girl, Alex's emotions came back. Resisting his frustration, Alex pulls one of Kanza's wrists back and takes the girl to the back of the library building.
His wide steps made Kanza a little difficult so that occasionally the girl's footsteps would be shaken while continuing to try to pull back her hand from Alex's grip.
Alex slaps Kanza's wrist as they have completely arrived at the back of the library building. The man's face look so cold with his irregular breathing. While Kanza, the girl further lowered her face with one of the hands that continued to grip her wrist that had been pulled here and there by Alex.
"Lo why keep avoiding me? You still want to, right, if we're still dating?" Alex brought her position closer to Kanza's, making the girl reflexively instantly rewind her footsteps until her back hit the wall.
Again Kanza tried to swallow his saliva with great difficulty. His attention, which was originally staring at the man, immediately turned in the other direction with his pair of eyes slightly reddened.
"Yes already. That's when we break up," Kanza's words sound more like a small grunt, but still sound clearly in Alex's ear.
Alex clenched his fist. Both of his eyebrows furrowed deeply with both of his jaws hardened. Such a domineering cold gaze continued to be cast on the girl before him. Kanza's words successfully make his emotions immediately provoked.
"Repeat what you just said!" Alex pulls Kanza's chin so the two's gazes meet again.
Kanza widens both eyes with occasional twitching. His heartbeat began to race with cold sweat that began to flood his forehead to the nape of his neck. The look that Alex gave off was really capable of intimidating Kanza.
"Gue says—" Kanza paused his speech with a pair of widened eyeballs. The girl was rendered speechless when Alex interjected by kissing her suddenly.
The kiss wasn't as gentle as it was a while ago the guy had kissed her too. His kiss this time was more impressed hurry and impatient. Enough to make Kanza out of breath to make it difficult to rebel.
Long enough the lips of the two intertwined, in the end Alex began to release their pagutan. His breathing is increasingly hunting with his attention that has not yet switched from Kanza who seems to take as much oxygen as possible due to a brutal kiss made by Alex.
Her tears dropped unexpectedly. But the girl's mouth was still as tightly closed as before.
"What basis should we break up? We never fight, Za. Do you want to break up? I don't accept it!"
The cry that Kanza had been so long pendam, in the end he overflowed right in front of Alex. Tears began to rush down her beautiful face.
Kanza who has been acting cute and humorous, in fact all of it is just a mask to cover her identity is so fragile. Everything he has done so far to not let others know that his life is not okay.
"Lo don't pretend to be nice to me! You know, right, if I have a mental illness!? Lo dateng tired-cappek nyariin I just want to ngetawain I doang. Aye, right? I-I know. You must be ilfeel after knowing my true circumstances! I was crazy when you knew!" The girl screamed and her crying broke even more.
Alex was speechless trying to pervade every word Kanza said. In the next instant, both of his hands began to grab onto Kanza's body and hugged her quite tightly.
"Gue doesn't want to laugh at you! And again, why should I ilfeel? I told you once, I love and love you! And one more thing, I don't care what you're sick of, my feelings for you will never change!" Said Alex. Slowly, the girl's roaring cries began to subside a little. Kanza, who had rebelled in Alex's arms, slowly began to weaken.
Slowly but surely, Alex began to loosen his embrace. His eyes again fell on Kanza's faithful pair of neutrals, bowing silently. Sometimes the girl would sob softly with tears still dripping.
"No matter what you look like, my feelings will be the same. Because basically, I love you the same not because you're beautiful or anything. But because it is lo! You are what you are, not what you have."
...****...
Kenzo held his phone firmly when the voice call he made was still not responded to by someone on the other side. Since the incident three days ago in which he was admitted to the hospital, he either intentionally or not constantly avoids his phone calls.
And who else, if not Wanda? Whether there is a storm to the extent that the girl is difficult to contact, but on the day when Kenzo was not aware, the girl still had time to come to wait for him.
But who would have thought, had not yet met each other face to face, the girl even disappeared like swallowed by the earth.
Yep. Kenzo knew Wanda had come to the hospital for her sake. He learned of it from a nurse who came to check his condition a few days ago while giving him his cell phone. He said a young woman left the object to him and said it belonged to a patient named Kenzo.
When Kenzo asked more specifically about what the girl looked like, the nurse immediately said that; the girl who delivered her phone was the girl whose photo was used as a wallpaper lock screen on her phone.
And when Kenzo asked again; why did the girl choose to leave, the nurse simply said she didn't know while shaking her head.
At that moment, Kenzo's feelings began to feel bad. In a hurry the man began to contact Wanda, but her voice call was not responded to and it has lasted until now.
Kenzo thinks, what's wrong with Wanda? Did he make a mistake that made the girl angry until she was reluctant to pick up her phone call?
If Kenzo had not been in such a troubling situation today, he would have probably run to Wanda from the beginning and asked for an explanation for his attitude over the past few days.
Tok tok!
The sound of a knock behind the door accompanied by the door that opened immediately immediately removed the entire Kenzo daydream. With reflex the man turned his attention to the open door. A sincere smile rose on her handsome face as the mother casually walked into the ward carrying a bag of size large enough that Kenzo guessed it was lunch for her.
"You want help, right?" Kenzo straightened his seat while still smiling sweetly at the mother. As for her own mother, the woman even clucked with the look of her face that looked judes.
"Don't be so familiar, huh. Mommy is still sprained by you! You can make Mami almost a hanger! Could it be, just one day you do not make Mami worry? Why do you believe this, huh!? Who would dare to beat you? Let Mami come to her house and burn the rames!" The mami, aka Chelsea began to stir again. And all his movements did not escape Kenzo's attention.
"Russia ... Mantep, Mihs! Add a single organ! The cake was screaming," kelakar Kenzo, making his mama back clucking.
"Udah, ah. Let's talk first. Now you eat, take the medicine. Mami bawain porridge same rice plus side dishes. You just choose, want to eat rice, what porridge?" Chelsea began to take out one by one the supply boxes that he took from the bag earlier, then put it on the table next to the blankar.
"Do you want to feed yourself or eat yourself?"
Kenzo seemed to think for a moment. "If you ask to be bribed, can you?" Ask Kenzo. When the mother was about to answer, the sound of someone being irrigated with the door of the room open suddenly distracted the two.
"Can't! Eat yourself!" And yes, the voice came from Kenan. The look on his face was cold with his pair of squinting eyeballs staring intently at his daughter.
Kenzo blinked for a while with his mouth tightly clenched. Speech from the papi can make him speechless can not make a sound.
"OK," Kenzo replied, sighing.
...****...
The day is still fairly early, but Azka chose to leave school even though soon *** will be held soon.
Azka chose to truant because if she continued to be in school, her brain still could not be invited to work together. His mind continued to drift on a piece of Kelvin saying a few days ago; that all this time he still had a mother.
Shocked? Sure was! Curiosity also shrouded by happiness continues to touch Azka. Unfortunately when Azka asked further, the words Kelvin further made the feeling of flowering in Azka instantly disappear and replaced with a full expression of disappointment.
And now, for the first time when he was truant, Azka came to a building where children who had neither parents nor who had been left by their families gathered there.
The building looks ordinary and seems simple. But for some reason even though just by looking at it at a glance, Azka felt a very warm air from there, let alone see the many children who play or who just just wander in the yard.
Azka took a deep breath before the guy finally started to go further into the orphanage area.
His heart suddenly beat unbecoming. His breath felt so heavy with nervous feelings as well as fear as if blending into one.
Again and again Azka took a deep breath. His sense of going further was again hindered by doubt. His heart said something else.
Choosing to immediately get rid of the doubts that made his determination blocked, Azka then stepped foot into the orphanage area with capitalized courage.
There were no ten steps he walked, the step was required to stop on the road when a pair of neutrals accidentally met with someone who made the corner of his heart suddenly warmed.
A woman in modest fashion walks past Azka while smiling kindly at her.
Azka could hardly distract her from the woman if she did not awaken herself immediately. Not wanting to waste time, Azka then ran after the woman. One of his hands reflexively pulled one of the woman's wrists, leaving her slightly aghast with a pair of fairly wide eyeballs.
Realized by what he had just done, Azka then released the grip of his hand while looking down to apologize.
"Who, huh?" Asked the woman with both of her eyebrows that were almost in chains.
"Ekhem. Earlier I apologized because I just had been presumptuous, and-" the speech Azka was about to throw suddenly spelled out. His pair of neutrals again could not distract him from the woman's questioning face.
"And?" He asked, immediately awakening Azka from what he was dreaming about.
Azka cleared her throat trying to get rid of her nervousness. "That, I .. want to ask. This is really the address of Mother's Orphanage?"
The woman seemed to nod her head a few times. "Yes right, here's the address. Who's she gonna find, huh?" Ask again, making Azka subconsciously smile faintly at the call given by the woman to her.
"Ekhem. I want to meet someone who is about the same age as Mom. He said he worked here" Azka said.
"If you may know what his name is, huh?"
"Oh. Her name is Paula Kinanti,"
A smile on the woman's face instantly faded and was replaced by a flat-face look. Not long after, the woman chuckled softly.
"It just so happened to be with me. What's needed, huh?" The question is no less friendly. But instead of happy because the person Azka was looking for turned out to be in front of him, the guy actually fell silent stiff with a pair of eyeballs slightly widened.
"Mother with Paula Kinanti's Mother?" Repeat Azka. His breath seemed choked. The fist in both of his hands was starting to feel stronger and his throat felt so dry that every once in a while, Azka would gulp her hard-earned saliva.
Again and again the woman smiled kindly towards Azka while nodding. At least the woman did not feel strange, even though the movements of Azka were quite visible.
Long enough Azka was silent in silence staring at the look on the woman's face, he did not realize that a drop of tears that he had been holding, so far, in the end it escaped also in the presence of a middle-aged woman who he had only met for the first time.
Looking at the young man before her who suddenly shed tears, it was clear the woman was instantly shocked. When he was about to walk over, Azka reflexively took a step back. Making the woman with the owner of the name Paula was more surprised at the same time ambiguous.
"You're not pa-"
Azka chuckles sarcastically. The look of confusion was increasingly on the woman's face.
"Mr Paula!" Call Azka. His pair of neutrals looked slightly lowered, with a slick smile peppered on his face.
The long hose, his slightly bowed head started to lift. A sad look full of wounds he radiated at the woman who was still faithful standing before him.
"It's me, Azka! The kid you used to throw away a dozen years ago,"
