Between Two Hearts
Chapter 77

After a long journey that is quite tiring, Frans also arrived at the hometown of Grandma Arimbi, his grandmother Kenzo.

Yep. Returning from Germany he was told by Khanza that his younger brother Kenzo had been missing for more than two days. Frans was cuek at first because he thought that Kenzo must be just playing around. However, after Khanza says that Kayla and her two friends are looking, Frans goes to find Kenzo.

Frans is more worried about Kayla than her best friend, as the spy stationed to watch her says she is sick but doesn't say what's the cause.

The young man did enroll in college abroad because he wanted to avoid Kayla so as not to feel hurt to see the girl together with Kenzo. But Frans kept a close eye on the girl by putting her confidants around Kayla.

From that person he knew that Kayla was sick and his return to see Kayla's condition. But, Khanza came to him and said if his sister or friend was missing.

With a calm heart, Frans stepped onto the porch and knocked on the door. It sounded like some people were chatting inside even to the point of laughing cheerfully.

"The child is definitely here. I'm sure of it," Frans was getting excited to get in.

Tok tok tok tok

His hand knocked on the door and a man walked over.

Slowly the door opened and showed someone Frans knew enough. When the door opened perfectly, they pointed at each other for getting to know each other. "You!" said the two together. "What's right here?"

"Gue now lives here," the girl said and asked back. "Why yourself here? Tumben was right to play here, the nights again" he continued.

Before answering, Frans eyes had glanced into the house and found a red sports motorcycle belonging to someone in his car. "Gue nyari tengil, Tan!" point it at Kenzo's bike. "Where is the guy?" Tania follows Frans' direction.

"Oh, he's at Grandma's house" she replied, letting her in. "Go in, Frans!" take Tania later.

Frans stepped into the house and sat on the living room couch before asking again. "Who is Grandma's house! Isn't this Grandma's house?" ask Frans curiously.

"This house was rented out by Grandma two years ago to my schoolmate who was far from where she lived. Grandma bought another house on the first climb!" Tania.

Frans looks to nod. "Far from here, isn't it?" frans asked a little screamed as Tania walked into the kitchen.

The girl came back with a cup of coffee and a snack. "No really. I'll take anterin to sono, deh!" he said while putting coffee and snacks on the table. "Drink first, take the heat!"

Frans nodded back with a smile. "Not to bother, Tan. But, thanks!" he also sipped the hot coffee.

For a moment Tania fell silent at the sweet smile of the young man before her. Frans' smile made her heart melt.

Tania did put her heart to the handsome young man her cousin's best friend. He really craved the handsome from their first meeting five years ago, which is when they were both on the Junior High until now the feeling remains.

"We're there now, yuk!" invite Frans to disperse Tania's daydream.

The girl hesitated before agreeing to the handsome young man's invitation in front of her. "All right! I say goodbye to friends yes," he went into the middle room to say goodbye to his friends who peeked earlier while giggling.

"He's the guy you talk about a lot, huh, Beb?" Diska asked in a seductive tone.

Tania put on a smile while nodding but she put an index finger on her lips. "Hush. Don't let him hear your babbling!" his friends were just brandishing fists meant to encourage.

After saying goodbye, Tania and Frans walked through a shortcut to Grandma's house while chatting.

"Kenzo actually why the hell did he get sick?" tania's question brought Frans' steps to a halt.

"Kenzo's sick?"

Tania frowned. "You don't know if he's sick anymore?" Frans shook his head with a serious look. "Since he got here, his face was pale and his body was weak. Grandma took him to the hospital but didn't want to. He pretended to be healed so he was not invited to seek treatment" Tania explained.

"Continue, what's the situation now?" ask Frans curiously.

Seeing Kenzo's current condition, Kayla became guilty. Plus the young man groaned in pain because his head was like swirling.

The doctor said Kenzo was fine. There is nothing to worry about with his condition. He just needs to rest enough and eat on time.

But for Kayla, she still felt guilty. He apologized for pushing Kenzo to the point of hitting his head, but the grandmother calmed down by saying it was not his fault.

As Kayla was struck into worry, a knock on the door made her a little relieved to neutralize her feelings. He quickly moved from his seat and began to step foot towards the door.

Slowly Kayla's hand pulled the door handle until it showed the body posture of the guest who came. The girl was shocked by the presence of someone in front of her now.

"You!"

"Hi, Neng! Meet us again," said the person who turned out to be a punk market thug with a voice that was whiny like a clogged toa.

"Why did you come here?" ask Kayla ketus.

Instead of answering the question Kayla asked him, the young man charged in without any invitation. "Can I come in? Oh yes of course, thank you!" chattering with his trademark voice.

"Hey, who let you in!" Kayla tries to hold the market thug's hand, fearing that grandma is angry that there are disrespectful guests entering the house.

Although at first Kayla was afraid of the market thug, but suddenly she became brave. He kept pulling the thug's hand so he wouldn't go inside Grandma's house.

"Who came to Neng Kayla?" The girl suddenly stopped pulling the thug's hand because the grandmother's question was followed by the glance of all the eyes there.

The punk boy smiled faintly because he already knew the name of the girl he was after. "Oh, your name is Kayla!" Kayla is upset because she knows her name.

"It's Grandma, there's a crazy guy coming in!" ketus Kayla's.

"Crazy people?" in unison all pairs of eyes were fixed towards Kayla including the punk child.

"Aaaaa-I'm not a crazy person, but ...!" He tried to explain but Kayla kept pushing him out.

"There go outside! You can't come in here!"

Seeing Kayla trying to evict the market thug, Devian and Bagas immediately approached to help Kayla.

Grandma Arimbi stood up and approached them. " Why did you guys mess with him? He's not a madman!" at once Kayla lowered her hand to hear Grandma's words. "He's here to pick up his dad!" grandma explained. "Doctor, someone's picked it up!" Grandma said to Doctor Amar.

"Yes Mom, just a minute! I tidy up the equipment first" said Dr. Amar while handing over the prescription of drugs that must be purchased at the pharmacy.

Grandma took it and did not forget to thank Doctor Amar for help. While the three young people were just pecking, staring in disbelief at the status of the market thug who turned out to be the son of Doctor Amar.

"You want to stay here, Riki boy?" Grandma asked the punk boy who was grinning at the horse while looking at Kayla.

"If possible," He grinned, looking straight at Kayla's face as he approached. "Yes Neng Kayla," he continued before being surprised at the sudden presence of Bagas in front of him.

"He already has one," said Bagas as he pushed Riki's body out. "Back sono lu, punk boy deworming!" her taunts just closed the door to Grandma's house.
