Chapter 12 - WEST ANGER

Arya was surprised that he could only stare at Kinasih with pitying eyes.

"What's wrong Ay? what happened to you?" Arya asked, lifting Kinasih's chin.

"It seems, Bara has another woman besides myself Ar. I saw a lot of red marks around his neck and chest, as well as the smell of women's perfume which I was sure was not Bara's perfume." said Kinasih in between her tears.

"Have you asked Bara, Ay?" Arya asked calmly.

"I do, and he said it was because he was itching when he was in the village." replied Kinasih while wiping her tears.

Arya was silent and thought for a moment to understand the problem between Barata and Kinasih.

"Maybe that's what happened to Ay, and for perfume maybe when he was in Barata Village all day with his younger siblings or his mother who wore the perfume. You have to trust your husband Ay." Arya said trying to calm Kinasih's heart.

"But my heart says there is another woman Ar?" said Kinasih stubbornly.

"Remember Ay, in the household there must be trust, you must believe in Barata. And if you have evidence with your suspicions, then you can act to make a decision." said Arya patiently.

Kinasih was silent contemplating Arya's words which were true.

"Ya Ar, what you said has some truth too. Maybe last night was just my thoughts, and maybe because I was so jealous that I couldn't think straight." said Kinasih starting to calm down a little.

"Now you better get to work, because nothing can solve the problem without you there. And what if Barata looks for you and finds out you're here?" said Arya who didn't want to add to or exacerbate Kinasih's problems with her husband even though in his heart he always wanted Kinasih.

"Ya Ar, I'll be there soon, I want to know how are your feet now, are they better or not?" asked Kinasih with a sad look.

"It's still not good, later when it's good I will definitely go back to work." Arya said with a smile, there was a hint of happiness when Kinasih was still asking about his condition.

"Then what about the person who bumped into you? any news from the police? Shouldn't it be easier to catch the person because it's clear there is a car plate number that the police already know?" asked Kinasih again with a serious look.

"Already, the police have informed me and I asked the police to close this case, because I know the person who hit me even though he ordered someone else." Arya said with a sigh.

Arya really didn't have the heart to tell Kinasih that the person who hit her was Barata's messenger.

Arya doesn't know what reason made Barata want to kill him, just because of Kinasih or because of his position in the company. Because there are rumors that Barata wants a position as deputy director, which is his position.

"Who is he? do I know him too?" Kinasih asked seriously.

"You don't need to know, even if I tell you you don't know him either." Arya replied with a smile.

Kinasih was silent for a moment then looked into Arya's eyes to just look for honesty there.

Arya smiled and gently ruffled Kinasih's hair.

"Is there anything else you love Ay, it's already eight o'clock your husband will be angry there." Arya said trying to forgive Kinasih even though his love would never go away.

"Okay, I want to go to work, but I want you to be healthy even though you are still in a wheelchair, I want you to keep working because the company really needs you." said Kinasih earnestly.

Arya chuckled.

"How can I work, even to push my wheelchair, I still need a nurse here, especially in the office." Arya said laughing to save his sadness.

"I'm here, take it easy. I will push it wherever you want." Kinasih said with a serious face.

"You Ay! it's already early, you're late for work, Ay." Arya said, crying with emotion.

"Arya! I mean what I say," said Kinasih again.

"We'll talk about it later, now you have to go, it's too late, a director can't be late." Arya said holding back his sadness that wanted to spill.

"Okay...okay I'm leaving. I'll call you later this afternoon." Kinasih said as she walked away.

"I'll always be waiting for you Ay, either you or your phone." Arya whispered as he looked at Kinasih who had disappeared from sight.

***

With a feeling of calm and relief Kinasih entered her study. Her steps stopped when she saw the presence of Barata who was already sitting in his chair.

"I've been waiting for you two hours ago deck, I chased you here hoping we could sort out our misunderstanding. But I can't find you here, I called you your cell phone is off. Are you really angry with me Kinasih?" asked Barata approaching Kinasih with a sad look.

Kinasih was silent while still standing. When Barata hugged her waist and gently rubbed her face Kinasih let her. The image of Arya's face and his advice flashed through her mind.

"I'm sorry for you Kinasih, I shouldn't have prevented you from always being close to Arya because Arya is your best friend. I'm sorry maybe because I'm too jealous that I can't think straight." Barata said with a look full of regret.

"I also apologize, Bara, for suspecting you that there is another woman in your life. I should have trusted you more, I'm sorry okay? I promise from today I will always believe in you." said Kinasih who had made the decision to start a new life with Barata without any suspicion.

"Is it true what you say is Kinasih? what are you saying from the bottom of your heart?" asked Barata with a heart that still couldn't believe everything he heard.

"I was at the hospital, and I got good advice from Arya. Because of that I realized my mistake. I'm sorry Bara?" Kinasih answered honestly.
