Heart Words.
Chapter 28

Arif immediately got out of his car as soon as he reached the mouth of the alley where the kosan Kana was. He was walking fast when the time was still showing at nine o'clock in the night. Maybe it's too late to visit, but Arif's arrival is not for a visit, he just wants to say something.

He adjusted his slightly roaring breath, calming himself for a moment before his feet took two steps to knock on the door.

Three beats but no sign of welcome or approval from within. Arif knocked again, the atmosphere was still the same, silent. The next beat is made a little tight while calling the name of the boarding occupant. But the one who denied even the other residents.

"Kana's Nyari, Mas?" ask the next door resident.

"Eh, yes."

"There is no such thing as this, this afternoon, we have gone to work for the night." the neighbor explained.

"Evening work?" Arif's forehead is wrinkled.

"Yes. Usually if you leave in the afternoon, at two o'clock new come. When leaving Malem, the new local time to go home. What kind of work is that, Mom?"

"Where do I know." said Arif. He was also guessing, what did the little girl do at night? Not after work from her apartment, Kana also works again as a baby sitter? Then what is this? Night work too? Even coming home at dawn?

"Who's mom? Later if Kana comes home I tell you something is coming."

"I'm her future husband." replied Arif consciously and without coercion.

"Oah the prospective husband anyway, pantesan immediately panicked with his face, Mas nya do not know means yes if Kana often work this night?"

"If I had known, there would have been no way for me to come."

"Oh, yeah, really."

"I'm sorry. Let's." Let's."

Concerns immediately hit Arif's body and soul, he immediately pulled out his cellphone while walking away from the boarding location after saying goodbye to the neighbor. He began to call Kana's number, but only a connecting tone was heard, and the connecting tone seemed to have no intention to calm Arif's soul who began to think far into the negative direction.

"Where are you, Kana?!" Once again Arif tried to contact Kana. But it remains the annoying connective tone that greets him.

"Ah shit!" Arif got back into his car and left the place with his restless and restless heart.

His practice schedule today is at nine in the morning, which means Arif has enough time to interrogate Kana when the girl comes later. Last night he couldn't sleep thinking about where Kana was working and what the girl was working on at night?

A cup of black coffee already he brewed in a cup, the aroma of coffee out gave a little awareness to him to keep thinking clearly. He had to calm down to ask Kana a question later. Can't use any more emotions to scold him.

Just as she had expected, Kana came eventually after ignoring dozens of her calls last night.

"Morning, Doc." Sapa Kana, as usual, cheerfully. Though it has been three days Arif encouraged to think about the girl, but it seems that the thought of living quietly.

"Morning. Why are you wearing a mask?" asked Arif, seeing Kana who was wearing a mask like never before.

"Oh, I'm kind of a little bit sick of Doc's flu, so from the nularin to the doctor, I wear a mask. If the doctor must always be healthy, keep the patient Doctor if the Doctor is sick." replied Kana Panjang while starting her activities in the kitchen.

"Don't you see my call last night?" asked Arif while sipping his coffee, impressed relaxed but the tail of his eyes watching.

"Yes, I just saw it this morning. I'm sorry, Doc, I slept last night. Did the doctor call me that 67 times?"

He's lying! And that means he hasn't met his neighbor last night, or maybe the neighbor forgot to tell me I was looking for him.

"You said, if I cape, you can flinch." Arif has reasoned again.

"Oh, is the doctor not feeling well?"

"Yes, last night. My body hurts all."

"Do you want me to go incandescent now?"

"No need, I've called the incandescent." again Arif created a free essay.

Kana just nodded, then was busy cooking. Surprisingly, the aroma of coffee that had filled the room and the sense of smell, then the aroma of cooking that Kana processed, nothing compared to the typical aroma of Kana. The smell beats everything. And the scent seemed to have its own magnetism to draw Arif closer to Cana.

Arif pretended to wash his cup only to be in a closer distance to Kana.

"Taro is there Doc, then let me wash" Kana said while looking at Arif. Just then Arif's sharp eyes saw something strange on Kana's face. His instincts say the mask is not to cover up the virus ahead of the flu, but there is something else Kana is covering up.

"Eh, why Doc?" kana asked, her eyes staring confusedly at Arif's face which suddenly turned flat.

"Open your mask."

"Eh? Tap-but later Doctor Ketula-"

"Open!" This time Arif is stronger.

Kana lowered her head, her hands moving to remove the mask on her face. But until the mask was off her face, Kana kept her head down.

"Look at me."

Kana shakes.

"Look at me, Kana!"

Finally the girl's head moved, her face now facing Arif's face. At once Arif's eyes were perfectly rounded, Kana could feel anger in Arif's eyes.

"Who did this to you?!" Arif did not even dare to touch the bruise on Kana's cheek, even the corner of Kana's lips also hurt.

Arif is not only angry, but he is angry. He was sure he could finish off anyone who made Kana that way.

"It's a work accident, Doc. I'm fine." replied Kana timidly.

"Work accident?!" Arif grabbed both of Kana's arms. "Don't fool me, Kana! I know which accidents and which acts of violence! Who did it?! Say it!"

"Bu-not a nobody, Doc. Ooh Doc, my arm hurts."

At that time Arif only realized, his checks represented his anger. Arif closed his eyes for a moment, and took a deep breath until his field chest puffed up.

Then without saying a word, Arif raised Kana's hand and pulled her gently out of the kitchen, he led Kana to the sofa.

"Shut up here." Tell Kana. From the facial expression as well as the look in those eyes, Kana knew Arif did not want to be denied.

Shortly after, Arif returned from his room, brought a medicine box and began to treat bruises and cuts on the corners of his lips.

"I'm really okay, Doc."

"Shut up."

Kana locked her mouth.

"Who did this to you?"

But Kana kept her lips shut tight.

"Kana Jawab. I also have a limit of patience."

"The doctor told me to shut up."

Arif took a rough breath while throwing the used cotton on the table.

"Are you testing my faith?"

"Eh?"

Ah shit! Why would I want to kiss her?! It's insane!

"I don't say anything about Doc, anything else to test the Doctor's faith. How dare."

"Then, answer honestly, who did this to you? Answer me honestly or I'll kiss you."

"What??!"
