Arif's car stopped in front of a small alley when the sky had turned dark, his head turned to the side, right where Kana was asleep in the passenger seat. Arif looked at that sweet face, his face was so calm. A feeling of infiltrating Arif's chest, reflexes without him noticing his hand moving to Kana's cheek. The aroma of Kana that made him addicted as well as tortured.
Kana opened her eyes suddenly with Arif's hand still on her cheek.
"Eh?"
"Eeee, there's eyelashes." Arif reasoned while pretending to throw away the goib's eyelashes. The awkwardness that is created between them.
"Well, yeah?" Kana rubbed her eyes and straightened her body position.
Arif nodded while releasing the seat belt and turned his face away. Just then he looked at the chicken pecel rice bowl five feet not far from the gangan kosan Kana.
"We eat first." he said later.
"Eh, eat?" Kana.
"Ehm." nodded Arif as he got out of the car.
They ended up sitting next to each other under the tent of five foot chicken rice pecel traders who are usually there at night.
"So, what do you think?" arif asked after they finished their dinner while discussing the continuation of their promise to get married next month to the Kana family. During the meal, Kana was struggling to chew and swallow the food in her mouth.
"But, Doc, are you sure me and the doctor are getting married? Is that a real wedding?" kana asked doubtfully.
"We made a promise to your family."
"Yes, but right, within a month we or I can find a reason that can make the Doctor do not need to marry me."
Arif's forehead is wrinkled. "meaning?"
"Yes I will find a reason what cake makes us seem mismatched and fight and finally break up."
Arif now raises both eyebrows. He knew, the marriage they were talking about was not their plan, everything was out of control, but why did Arif feel like he was rejected huh?
"Aren't you going to get married?"
"You want to, but... It can't be the same Doctor, right?"
"Why?"
"Because, I'm like this, and the doctor is the doctor."
"What the hell, I don't know what you're talking about."
Kana pulls her drinking glass, chugging her hot tea water that is no longer hot to wet her throat and nervousness.
"I know the doctor can't feel the same about me, right. So, I don't want a tortured Doctor later marry the same person that the Doctor doesn't love at all. What's more, our relationship in the village was just pretending, and the marriage thing was out of our control."
Arif. Trying to digest and understand Kana's answer.
"I've been very grateful and grateful for all the doctors help yesterday. Our mission to make Mas Danu regret also succeeded. The doctor also paid off my family's debt. I don't know how to repay the doctor. So I could not ask the doctor to marry me too, my debt to the doctor was already very large. If the Doctor also marries me because of what happened in the village yesterday, I will be more and more unable to repay the favor of Doctor."
"Do you feel indebted to me?" Arif begins to understand Kana's difficulties.
The girl nodded.
"Then, do you intend to pay your debt?"
Arif smiled then. Recalling back on Rudi's words, Kana would attempt to replace the money.
"Oh yeah, in what way are you going to change my money and repay your debt to me?"
Kana seemed to think for a moment, her eyeballs glanced upwards with her plain expression.
Without Arif noticing, his lips formed a smile looking at Kana's adorable face.
Adorable?
"For a debt of money, I will look for work again in order to quickly raise money. And for the debt of gratitude, I will work more vigorously as his ART Doctor. I'll make the Doctor's apartment kinclong, fragrant, neat and I'll also cook good food for the Doctor. If the doctor is tired, I can massage too. If Doctor's car is dirty, I can wash it too."
Arif sighed hearing how long and excited Kana was to reveal how she would later repay her debt to Arif. In fact, he never mentioned what he did for the Cana family as a debt that Cana had to pay back in any form.
"So you don't want to marry me?" Arif's question was almost answered honestly from the heart by Kana with one word, 'Mau' but fortunately this time Kana was in a cautious mode over all the words she would produce by mouth.
So Arif's question was answered with another question. "Did the Doctor want to marry a woman that the Doctor does not like what else love?"
Kana's question now made Arif close his lips. Back a feeling that had so far agitated him tickled his heart. He was not sure of the new taste.
"No." replied Arif in the end. "If your question is like that, then my answer is no. No one wants to marry without love."
Kana nodded in agreement. "Therefore I cannot let the Doctor sacrifice the Doctor's life for me. Because I am nothing either. It's nobody who has to make the Doctor sacrifice the Doctor's life. Doctors are very good, and have the right to be with women who are worthy and equal to doctors. Not me."
Arif sighed. He understood Cana's mind. But still, there is a sense of unwillingness if this marriage plan fails. And honestly, Arif did not understand why he felt unwilling. On what basis?
"For example, for example, we stay married, at least so that your family is not disappointed, and the villagers do not sneer at your family. Because as we know, they will definitely make your family chat because again you fail to marry. If you're afraid I'm tormented by marrying someone I don't love, maybe we can get married for a year."
"Then separated?" Kana asked.
Arif nodded.
"Sort of a contract marriage is what the doctor means?"
"Yes that kind of thing. At least I have to keep my word with your family, whether we have a real relationship or not, but I am a man, and I refuse to break the promise I made. And save your family name too. Hows it? You don't have to answer it now. Just think about it first. Okay?"
Hope Arif's worried waiting for Kana's response. Either the girl will immediately refuse or follow Arif's request to think about it first. Although Arif himself really does not understand why it is very unwilling if the wedding plan that has been promised next month fails just like that. In fact, even if there is no marriage, it will not have any effect on himself and his life.
Only, he felt unwilling for a reason that Arif himself did not understand.
In the end, Kana nodded her head. "I... I'll think again."
A smile rose on Arif's handsome face.
I must be crazy, 'cause I really wish he wanted to.
