Kirana
Chapters 19. Parting With Abah And Ambu

Kirana's arrival with Alex to the boutique, seizing the attention of several employees there. They whispered to each other snidely staring towards Kirana.

"Later to pick me up" Alex said after Kirana got out of her car.

"No need. I can ride the car online."

"Non't go anywhere. I'll pick you up after your work hours are over." Alex repeated his words, making Kirana frown.

He can't listen to the opinions of others!

Alex's car drove off and disappeared from view. Kirana also turned her body, wanting to move into the boutique.

But his body seemed frozen in place, when he saw the figure of Vano standing firmly in front of the boutique entrance, was staring at him sharply.

Kirana smiled awkwardly and greeted Vano, "Hi. Good morning."

There was no response from Vano. The man was still staring coldly at Kirana. The aura around them was also hot.

"Follow me." Vano pulled Kirana's hand and led her into the car. As for Kirana, it could only be resigned to following the man. It is time they spoke.

****

In a cafe

Kirana and Vano sat in silence. The atmosphere seemed to be gripping between them. Kirana knew that now Vano was very angry.

Evidently, the man did not speak. Just keep staring at him coldly and flatly.

This was the first time for Kirana, seeing the angry expression on Vano's face. Usually, that face would smile kindly and look at him with gentleness. Kirana really felt awkward.

"Vane..." Kirana started to open her mouth.

"So because of her?"

Kirana looked up, looking at Vano's face which was now starting to soften. But his eyes implied a wound.

"Because of him, you left that house? you want to be with him?" said Vano again with a soft tone.

"It's not. I just feel like I have to go. I don't want to bother you anymore, Van."

Vano sighed, then touched Kirana's hand. "Do you want us to end up?"

Kirana. He didn't want to hurt Vano at all. That guy was very nice. Although in Kirana's heart there is no love for Vano, but Kirana wants to try it. At first he thought so.

As time goes by, Kirana believes that love will grow if they are married.

However, seeing Vano's mother's dislike of him, Kirana hesitates and wants to retreat. Moreover, Vano's mother has insulted Danish as an illegitimate child. Kirana's heart hurts. If it must be married, Kirana wants the man and his family, can accept Danish well.

"Sorry, Vano. Looks like I have to go back with Alex." Kirana said softly.

Vano glared in shock at hearing that. She further tightened the grip on Kirana's hand.

"What's wrong? you were threatened by him?"

Kirana shook her head slowly, even though the reality was true. He doesn't want Vano to know and his business will get worse. Vano would have come to Alex if he knew that.

"Danish already knew that Alex was his real father. They're even very close."

Hearing Kirana's reasoning, Vano let out a discordant laugh. He even let go of his hand grip on Kirana.

"Vano!" Kirana snorted and exclaimed in anger. Vano's words seemed to intentionally insinuate him. She's not that kind of woman.

"Why? I'm right, aren't I?"

"What do you mean!"

Vano smiled obliquely, then leaned his body forward. Staring at Kirana straight right into her eyes. For some reason, Kirana felt that there was something different about Vano. The man's look looked scary.

"It only takes a few days, you can turn to Alex's side, just leave me alone." said Vano, still with his cool attitude.

"I'm looking for you everywhere, worried about you and Danish. But what did I see this morning? you came with Alex on purpose. Your beloved ex-boyfriend. Didn't you?"

Kirana shook her head, with eyes that were starting to heat up.

"Then what? you're gonna tell me, if there's still love in your heart for your ex-boyfriend? oh or can I call it your affair first? aren't you guys in a forbidden relationship behind the Princess?" continued Vano with a mocking smile.

Kirana's mouth opened, she was completely dumbfounded by Vano's words that hurt her heart so much. Though the reason to return with Alex is, so that the authoritarian man does not take Danish to Germany.

Both of Kirana's eyes were already welled up, holding back the cries. His head was down.

Has he misjudged Vano all along?

Not yet healed the humiliation wounds he got from Vano's mother, now must be added to the painful speech Vano.

Vano said an affair?

Kirana laughed a little. Then raised his face to look at Vano.

"You forgot? Your mother didn't want me! Do I need to remind you again about what your mother said to me?"

"Mother? huh. That's just the reason you... If you love me, you are willing to fight beside me to convince my mother. Not even giving up just like that." said Vano with a breath that hunts because of emotions. He took a deep breath before continuing his words.

"After knowing Alex and the Princess are divorced, you're happy right? you can go back to her knitting an old, unfinished story. I think my mom was just your reason for leaving me. It may be true said Princess, if you are a pengo-women."

Byurs.

Vano's words instantly came to a halt, as a glass of cold lemon water drenched his face. Both of Vano's eyes were closed, in order to dampen all his anger.

Kirana with trembling hands had doused Vano's face with a cold lemon drink, which she had only tasted a little. Although Vano's speech was cut off, Kirana knew what the man was going to say.

Seductress. That's how low, I'm in your eyes, Vano...

The tears that Kirana had been trying to hold back from before, finally shed as well. Heart hurts!

Hearing all of Vano's cynical and hurtful remarks.

"Thank you for everything" Kirana said with an injured face.

After that Kirana grabbed her small bag, then left Vano who was still unmoved in his place.

Several pairs of eyes were now glancing towards Vano who was still sitting in a miserable condition. He grabbed a tissue, then rubbed the face and the front of the shirt he was wearing with a tissue.

After placing two pieces of red money on the table, Vano got up from his seat and walked out of the cafe, followed by the strange gaze of cafe visitors.

Once outside, Vano could still see the figure of Kirana, who had just gotten into the taxi car. Vano simply silently stared at the woman's departure, with no intention of pursuing her.
