The Suffering of Si Kembang Village
Kill the masker

"I didn't expect that the woman people were talking about was you." Kenzie chuckles.

"really? ask Nilam. "I'm really the subject of the gossip of the people in this office." He looked down grimly.

"It's okay - what. They're just talking about the veil you're wearing."

"Hawl?" Nilam touched his head.

True, he did not tell about his meeting with Grandma Samiah to Kenzie.

"Yes, if I may know, why would you use a head covering like that? Isn't your hair beautiful."

"Eh...." Nilam was silent for a moment. "It's because...."

"Because what? Just tell. There seems to be a lot of stories I don't know about you. Don't hesitate. I can be a good listener."

Nilam stared at Kenzie for a moment. Then he started to open his mouth slowly. "Mean my escape from Juragan Dahlan's house...."

In a short time limit, Nilam began to tell everything that happened to him without censorship as well as to Kenzie.

For some reason, Kenzie is like an oasis that can release him from the heat and thirst. Until a trust can be easily pinned on the man.

"I didn't expect your life to be that small. Actually I've heard some stories about you from Hana. But. After I heard everything from you, I felt, I have an obligation to protect you. From anything and from anyone." Kenzie's eyes were wrapped in sincerity.

Deg!!

As if dejavu, Nilam felt the last sentence the man had heard from someone's mouth before.

Um.... Gavin! Yes, Gavin. Just yesterday afternoon the man also said the exact same sentence Kenzie had just said. Why could that be?

And now there are two handsome men who put on a body, ready to be a protective shield for him. Yes, God... What should I do? Between gratitude and confusion. That's how Nilam feels now.

"Thank you, Ken." A doubtful answer that Nilam had given to the man before him.

Kenzie smiled without seeing the look of worry on that pretty face. "Samely, Patchouli."

Yes, Kenzie decided to keep calling the girl's real name, another case if in front of Gavin or anyone, then he will call her Nuri, according to the request of the mpunya name.

Suddenly, Nilam remembered something. "Oiya, Ken, you said Hana. Does that mean you've met him back, after our meeting that time?" ask Nilam enthusiastically.

Kenzie nodded in a slow rhythm. "Yes, in fact, I took your grandfather to the hospital."

"Hospital? What's grandpa, Ken?" Feelings of longing and anxiety blend into one.

"That moment...." Next Kenzie held a back story, lifting back his memory of his goal to come to the house of Usman's grandfather at that time, and about Hana who was forced to replace Nilam to marry Juragan Dahlan, who was forced to take over from the family, until the old man ended up in the hospital. "I think your grandfather got sick because he was worried about you" Kenzie said.

Nilam looked at Kenzie. A gaze that painted a feeling of fear, anxiety, and longing that merged into a complete package was vividly painted on that face. Want to go home, as the conclusion goes.

"I can take you home to your village, if you want," Kenzie said, fully understanding the girl's facial features.

Nilam was flabbergasted in disbelief, but very clearly tucked twinkle of hope there. "Really, Ken?"

"Of course."

"I want to, Ken. I wanna...."

"What do you want, Nuri?" Gavin's voice arrived - it was airborne in the room, breaking the peace of fighting Nilam and Kenzie said. Until both of them turned towards the origin of the bass-fashioned sound. The man was already standing in the doorway, with a gaze as if it would swallow the two gender-different humans alive.

"Gavin.." Nilam's weak voice.

"What are you doing here, Ken?" gavin asked still with a look of dislike.

Kenzie chuckles little. "I was here to get the files I needed, but I found the cute girl instead" Kenzie said honestly. Then bring his face closer to Gavin's ears. "I'm just taking her to lunch, Gav. And as you can see, buddy. He's so excited. You know what it's because?"

"What?"

"Because I showed him the menu - the food menu on my phone, which even his name had never heard. It's funny that girl" whispered Kenzie in Gavin's ear, and she chuckled as if she felt funny.

And miraculously, Gavin easily trusted us the masker. "Certainly Nuri?" He started to move towards the girl.

"Eh...?" The one asked of course caught the astonishment. "Ma-you mean?"

"You hungry?" ask Gavin again who is now sitting next to Nilam.

One blink of Kenzie's eye, directly understood Nilam. "I-yes, Gav. I am hungry" answered Nilam, ashamed.

"Yes, God.... Was your breakfast in my house not enough this morning?" Gavin doesn't think.

"She was just tempted by the Japanese food I showed her, Gav." Again, Kenzie gave a magic code that was immediately understood by Nilam.

"Is that so, Nuri?"

Nilam glanced at Kenzie at a glance, and saw the man nod. "I-yes, Gav. I-I want to eat that food." Then smile clumsily.

Gavin chuckles. "Okay, we're looking for a Japanese restaurant this afternoon. I'll buy you anything you want to eat." He then squeezed the shoots of Nilam's head.

"really?" ask Nilam not to believe. Intentions sought excuses, but the man before him seriously granted. There was a little guilt in his heart, because he never told the man who he really was.

For some reason, seeing Gavin's attentive attitude directed at Nilam, made Kenzie's heart rustle a little.

I saw that look of love on your face, Gav. Especially if you find out that your Nurimu is the Nilam you have longed for. And vice versa, if Nilam realizes who you really are. I'm sure I'll lose before I start. But I will keep trying, to control Nilam's heart without your knowledge, Gav....

"Ken... will you continue to stand there?" It seems like today Gavin is in happy fashion to surprise those around him.

Out of his daydream world, Kenzie re-masked his casual. He put both palms into his pants pocket, while putting on a smile that was clearly just a cliche. "Alright, I won't be a bully. Continue what you want to do."

"It's good if you understand." Gavin with his grin.

"All right, I'm leaving. I'll send greetings to shasimi and sukiyaki later in the day."

"Okay, with pleasure. For the files you need, I'll have Asty deliver them to your room."

Kenzie nodded with a smile as he flicked a little of his palm at the end of his temple towards Nilam.

Nilam in landa worried. He wanted to chase after Kenzie who began to disappear behind the door, to make sure that the man could really deliver it to the grandfather in the village.

Actually, he could have asked Gavin for help. But because Kenzie already knows more about his side of life than Gavin, therefore he prefers Kenzie as a container of all his worries.
