AFTER THE DIVORCE
Chapter 39: He Returns

He returns. Is he also the one who makes Keinya difficult to contact?”

Episode 40: He is Back

****

Kainya mute with a body that suddenly feels so stiff. His body seemed to be locked, it was really difficult to move. It is no different from a statue. Then her gaze crawled forward, making her find her reflection on the makeup mirror there, right next to her bed. In addition to the tears that wet his cheeks, the muscles and nerves on his face that look stiffened also intensify his anger. Kai is very angry. Including the reflection of himself in the makeup mirror that he looked hatefully along with the scene together with Keinya, a few moments ago that twisted filled his mind. 

Debate earlier, Kainya felt she was no different from a bastard who allowed all means for Keinya to leave Yuan for her. Even not only that, Kai also expects the destruction of Keinya which Kaina hopes will be destroyed from life for eternity.

When Keinya walked hurriedly out of a room downstairs while carrying one sizable suitcase, Kainya who could hear the commotion of the steps following the sound of the suitcase being pulled, immediately wiped firmly her tears. He brushed aside the regret that had just mastered him due to what he did to Keinya.

“Go Kei. Go and never come back. Go and don't let Yuan find you again. Yuan is mine. No other woman can have it except me!” Kaiya confirmed that in her heart. His jaw hardened, while both of his hands clenched tightly on both sides of the body. His determination is really round. And Kaiya will make sure all of that actually happens!

Rara had just leaned back on the chair she was sitting in while stretching, trying to get rid of the pain in her body, especially her back and her hands, when someone pressed the apartment bell from outside. That fact made him feel strange. Why would anyone else come to the apartment? Even if it was Yuan or Keinya's man, of course there would be news before the sent came. In addition, why did Keinya who just went away for a while also not come home?

As the bell kept repeating itself even in a fast-sounding tempo signaling the person who came to keep pressing it, Rara immediately left the seat following her laptop with a feeling of anxiety. Rara walks hurriedly towards the door and becomes inexhaustible when she sees Keinya as the culprit.

“Yeah, who do I think? You came by yourself? Which rainbow?” cibir Rara opened the door. Only, the presence of Keinya without a Rainbow made him not understand. Did something worrying happen? In addition, Keinya also wore a different shirt from the time of his departure.

“A-atan. The rainbow is with Athan. No harm, right, a child with his papa?” Kaiya could not control his nervousness. It even shook. What he faces now is Flora or more familiarly called Rara, an innocent girl who greatly loves Keinya. 

Rara and Keinya have known each other for a long time since they were in High School. In fact, Keinya invited Rara to live in the apartment given by Yuan. If not for being close, where could Keinya invite Rara to stay?

Kaiya knows it all because even though he is far away and can't keep an eye on Keinya's life directly, but he has a lot of people in the belief to do so. Kaiya received every development about Keinya following the people in it, from his people.

“Abless once? Did something bad happen? Not Keinya his name if to release the Rainbow on others even though it was to Athan, just unchecked?” rara thought astonished. He did not have time to ask again, the defendant actually walked in and passed him. 

Rara can catch the anxiety and fear in her best friend. Even after looking very confused stepping hesitant to enter every room, Kainya who Rara thought Keinya actually went into the room that Rara occupied.

“What do you want? Anything you need?” sergeant Rara is worried.

Return the body. “Am I in the wrong room?” Her thought. He does know Keinya lives in an apartment with Rara, while Yuan lives in the apartment next door. But only to that extent, not to mention the layout of the room let alone the room occupied.

“A-I want to rest.”

Kaiya's nervousness made Rara even more anxious. Soon, Rara approached the woman. But when Rara passed the desk where she worked, she was even more anxious and confused because her phone screen lit up displaying WhatsApp messages from Keinya.

Rara does know there is Kaiya in Keinya's life. However, Rara is only limited to knowing the two have a close relationship. Yang Rara knows, Kainya often helps Keinya overcome problems. The rest, Rara did not know at all the two brothers and even twins.

Now, after driving Kainya to Keinya's room, Rara read a WhatsApp message from Keinya while gradually sitting in the chair she had not long left.

Keinya : Ra, do all the scripts and use the money to pay for your wedding. After that, send all the following needs to Gio. Remember, don't deal with Gio anymore. Don't let you lie to Gio again.

Keinya : I go first for the kemdikbud seminar. I passed the selection for this year's children's book. But you don't have to tell anyone about this including Yuan. If you can, find a new home. Later after returning home from the seminar, I went straight home to your place. After this I'll turn off my phone. Remember, don't say this to anyone let alone Yuan.

Rara read the message in a tone full of warning of attention. He felt, with the message, what happened to Keinya was even stranger. Why send a message if they are together or at least will meet? And even more strangely, why did the Rainbow get handed over to Athan without escort, while Keinya forbade him to tell Yuan?

“Do I really not need to tell Yuan? But if I don't tell you, I'm wrong, right? They were fighting, what how?” think Rara. 

After a silent contemplation, Rara rushed to the kitchen and fetched a glass of 1.5 liters of mineral water for Kai which she recognized as Keinya.

Due to the coincidence that Keinya's room door was not tightly closed, Rara entered it carefully. In front of the magnificent white bed following the accompanying blanket and pillowcase, Kaiya was stunned with a blank look staring at the mattress.

For Rara, what happened to Kaiya is no different from someone who seemed to enter the spirit. Rara to the creeps made on the thought.

“Kei, let's drink. Keep resting.” Rara persuaded him carefully.

Kaiya chose to sit on the edge of the mattress next to the nightstand, waiting for Rara to pour mineral water. More precisely, Rara poured mineral water and treated him well because what the girl knew, Kaiya was Keinya.

Rara squatted while giving a glass of mineral water to Kai without being able to hide her anxiety. He looked at Kainya closely. Trying to find the fault line that made the woman before him behave strangely.

Kai did not drink a glass of mineral water received. “He always said I was much luckier. Though he was more fortunate because I did not have some things that Keinya had, especially good friends like Rara,” Inner Kai. Kainya smiled. “Have you eaten?”

Rara shook her head nervously for a moment after being silent. “After.”

“How about we eat out while buying something?” tawar Kaiya's.

“What ..?” Rara looked at Kainya in disbelief. He smiled bitterly at his confusion. During this time, Keinya was most anti let Rara follow the people in Keinya's life, eating food from the outside. In addition to considering food from the outside less secure even though from a prestigious place though, Keinya will prefer to learn the food his people want to eat, he said, where Keinya not reluctant busy in the kitchen to cook it. But now, the strangeness back Rara get from her best friend in a short period of time.

“Ra?” call Kaiya because Rara was silent.

“Ah, what do you want to eat? Usually it is. You order what I eat.” Rara did not want to show her suspicion because she did not want to add to Keinya's burden. Precisely, in his brain now only filled with how to get Rara to meet Athan soon. Rara is convinced, Athan is the mastermind behind the Keinya change!

“Release, Kei. Let go of everything and let yourself be happy without them.”

Keinya cried in silence. He held the rainbow while closing his eyes. But shortly after, Keinya sobbed.

The taxi that Keinya was riding back was stuck in traffic, but this time because of the red light.

At the same time, Yuan was trying to contact Keinya via mobile phone, the car he was riding in was next to Keinya's taxi. Yuan lowered his car's glass window. Yuan deliberately did so to observe the situation outside.

Vehicles outside still boomed stuck in line without exception Yuan's car driven by the driver. When Yuan stared at Keinya's taxi, Keinya was still holding the Rainbow while looking down. And when the vehicle line was over where one by one the vehicles started to go, Yuan shifted his gaze as he continued to try to contact Keinya. At the same time, Keinya accidentally looked towards Yuan's existence with the state of the car window glass that was gradually closed perfectly, apart from Keinya who also does not know if the passenger of the car is Yuan.

“Why Keinya number is still not active?” muttered Yuan wondered and started to worry about Keinya. Even so, throughout this day he could not concentrate on the following series of meetings he led. So, when now he is reviewing the apartment that will be inaugurated tomorrow following the ongoing preparations, Yuan accidentally contacted Rara's mobile number.

“Ra, Where is Keinya? Why is the number not active?” asked Yuan when the call was connected.

Yuan could not hide his anxiety. He was pensive on one of the balconies of the apartment under review. From there, the expanse of the building that looks to be very small like a miniature and very difficult to reach, making it no different from how it feels to Keinya today. The woman came back hard to contact and the fact that it immediately scared her.

Because Rara never answered, Yuan became increasingly unable to calm down.

Yuan made sure of the time on the watch that adorned his left wrist. It is past four in the afternoon, while for today the schedule will end at midnight, so busy work that he must finish before the opening of the apartment tomorrow.

Yuan had already sighed repeatedly. He also loosened the winding of the tie around his neck in order to dampen his anxiety and make it tight.

The sound of dehydration from across made all Yuan's anxiety disappear. There are different and to the point of making Yuan in disbelief.

“This is me,” he said from across.

Yuan's forehead gradually wrinkled thinly. That's not the voice of Rara as the owner of the phone. Nor is the voice of Keinya as the person he is looking for and has made his feelings chaotic. Yuan could confirm it, although of course he would not dismiss not recognizing the voice. Yuan knew very well the voice even if at a glance it might sound similar to Keinya's voice.

“Yes, it's me. Rara is out. He didn't bring a cell phone. His phone missed.”

Continued the sound is so full of awkwardness and nervousness. Hearing him, Yuan reflexes swallowed his saliva as his heart became pounding faster than normal.

“He's back. Is he also the one who makes Keinya difficult to contact?” This time not only beat beyond the normal limits, because Yuan's heart also seemed to be slipping. Sick, confused, and all the fear captivated him that very second.

“Kei ... You, are fine, right?” inner Yuan. His mind floated around, thinking of Keinya whom he feared was not okay, even badly injured.
