My Plain Love
The Part 38

There are no unbroken tusks, that's what the saying goes for Kirana.

No matter how much he held back from Hakam, it was still, the circumstances that always predestined them to be together.

The long journey to the city where Bu Fatima lived made them no longer distant.

Hakam's unbroken concern for Kirana, slowly makes the ice of Kirana's heart melt.

"We rest here first" Hakam said as he stopped the bike. "Our journey is still far away."

Kirana with a very tired and sleepy body just followed what Hakam ordered without any protest.

He collapsed in one of the available seats in the rest area where they stopped.

"God! I'm so tired!" kirana said as she wriggled her legs. "Root! How many hours are we gonna be here?"

"Heh, about three hours away Na" Hakam replied as he looked at his watch. "Are you tired? I'm sorry, if you're sleepy, we'll rest here. Tomorrow we continue our journey."

"Ehh! No koq! I'm not sleepy! Huapp..," Kirana couldn't hide her drowsiness, her mouth just kept yawning.

"Don't force! You keep yawning like it still says not sleepy," Hakam deliberately arranged a bag stacked with his jacket as a headboard for Kirana to sleep. "You rest here first, danger if we force ourselves to continue the journey with a sleepy state like this."

Hakam is right, after all, my body is really tired. The cold night air made my bones freeze. "Oh, let's take a break, thank you." Kirana lay her head on Hakam's jacket-stacked bag. Because her body was really tired, did not wait long for Kirana to fall asleep.

Hakam sat next to Kirana, intentionally not lying down because he wanted to keep Kirana.

Seeing the exhausted Kirana, made her feel pity. His head rested on the shoulder of the chair, occasionally his eyes were sleepy but soon he regained consciousness trying to stay awake.

"Na, if only I had you first. I'm sorry, why I was so stupid not to realize how I felt about you." Hakam muttered with his gaze looking at Kirana who was sleeping. "Destiny, who can oppose HIM."

"Ndra.., Chandra you heard me! Ndra.., huh!" Kirana made Hakam surprised. "Na, what's wrong with you? You're having a nightmare?"

"God! I had a dream.., Candra..," Kirana did not continue her words.

"Relax Na, you're just a dream" Hakam said as he calmed Kirana down.

Na, maybe this dream of yours is a hunch for you?

"We're leaving now yes," with eyes still on Kirana again preparing to continue the journey back.

Hakam can't hold Kirana anymore.

He knew it might be time for this truth to be revealed.

Hakam propelled his motor at a moderate pace, the cold night air forced Kirana to embrace Hakam.

Meanwhile, Hakam hopes this trip will be longer.

He realized, if later after arriving at Bu Fatima's house, he couldn't possibly come back this close to Kirana.

***

If this short time is my last time with you, let me enjoy it.

Enjoying a taste that is impossible to reciprocate.

The happiness of love is not only when you have it, but the happiness of love is when the person you love feels happy even though it is with others.

Forgive me brother, but forcing him to love me is a much painful thing.

At five o'clock in the morning, they finally arrived at the City where Fatima was staying. A beautiful atmosphere with many shady trees greeted them.

"We have breakfast first Na," Hakam asked as he passed through a row of small stalls on the side of the road.

"Yes, it's up to you. As long as you pay, yes" cletuk Kirana.

"Ehmm, yes I paid.., what the hell did not make my incest," Hakam replied.

"Well! What the hell is it!" Kirana's eyes glared with a murmur of protest in her mouth. "Don't start!"

They also entered a small shop not far from the housing complex where Bu Fatima lived.

Intentionally they had breakfast before they got there, because they did not want to bother Miss Fatima.

"What do you want to eat?" ask Hakam while looking at the row of side dishes and vegetables in front of him.

"Ehmm.., I want it." replied Kirana with her hand pointing at a bowl of jengkol shawl.

"Come! Na, are you hooked?" ask Hakam while grinning.

"Why? Nice koq, don't you like it?" answer Kirana. "Mom I want that one, yes" while ordering food.

"It's not bad, but it smells!" mummified Hakam.

"Wkwk.., thank goodness you don't like the smell of jengkol. So don't get near me anymore huh!" This momentum instead made a new idea for Kirana to stay away from Hakam.

Hakam glanced in annoyance. But where possible, love can be hated just because of jengkol.

"As far as you are! Eat a lot, so that your energy accumulates again."

Kirana did not answer Hakam's rant, her mouth full of food.

After a night of cold, making his stomach empty there was no food left.

And after being faced with his favorite food, which can be missed.

Do not keep the image, which is important to eat. Oh, yeah., he

***

After enjoying breakfast, they again prepare to continue the journey that only a short stay.

"The two of you look from afar, huh?" ask the shop owner. "Where would you like to know, then?"

"We want to go to the house of Ms. Fatima, who lives in a complex not far from here" Hakam replied.

"Ohw, Miss Fatima whose son was in the accident? Poor thing he is, the only child who should be the backbone, it's like that." I don't know what the shop owner heard about Ms. Fatima. But hearing that person's explanation, made Kirana feel a little strange.

"What does mother mean, about her son being like that? She was.e.," Kirana had not yet gotten to continue her question, Hakam quickly cut off their conversation. "Oh my God, I forgot something! Ma'am excuse me first, yes" While pulling Kirana's hand to come out and surprise Kirana.

"What's? You forgot what?" ask Kirana.

"E.., I forgot that.., if the bread you brought I thought it was broken! Try checking!" Hakam tries to find the right reason so that Kirana does not suspect.

"God! Hakams! That's a cake I made especially for him!" peekik Kirana's.

Frantically, Kirana checks the cake she had previously placed in Hakam's purse. And his face calmed down again, when he saw that the cake he brought was still in one piece.

Meanwhile, Hakam was seen communicating with someone through a chat message on his phone.

I heard her phone ring a few times.

"Bi, I'm almost there."

The chat message he wrote to Ms. Fatima.

Hakam looks pias, does not know to be happy or sad.

He realized, like anything hidden, that someday it would be revealed.

And it gets worse, when all is revealed when she and Kirana really start to feel comfortable with each other.

And at that time, I will not be able to see Kirana sad because of my lies and falsehoods all along.
