Stay With Us

One week after that incident. Suddenly news emerged that the wife of the CEO of A'z.n Group sued the divorce to her husband for reasons that are still unknown. Their son, Zelio Anzalion, did not go to school for days because his friends asked about it. Almost all television channels broadcast the news.

Even three days Natasha also did not go to school for reasons of family affairs. All believe, except Kafka and his friends who know the truth. Kafka knows very well the root of the problem of all this. He was convinced it was because of the revelation of his father's affair with his mother. She was really worried about Natasha, even though she wanted to make the girl hate her but she could not lie to her heart that liked the girl more than a sister.

"Sorry." Call Nathan.

"Hm?" kafka asked in a doldrums.

"Nathasha's three days did not come in. Don't you worry?" ask Nathan.

Kafka sighed. "Gue was worried, but I couldn't go there." replied Kafka. "Gue was really worried, I wanted to go see him, hug him and say that in every darkness there must be a glimmer of light illuminating. But if I meet him, my heart can wobble again." continued Kafka in his mind.

"Gue is sure that if Lo comes he will be the spirit of kayak usually." said Yora.

"Gue agreed, as much as Lo cared about being a sister." Hazel said.

"Well yes, he must be glad Lo came." added Arzel.

"Then you know the fact that we're brothers she's gonna be heartbroken again?" ask Kafka.

Suddenly everything was silent.

"Lo's part can't keep this from him?" ask Azam.

"Hm, he likes Lo. He must have been constantly wondering what reason Lo stayed away from him all of a sudden. I think it's better Lo samperin him, tell him the truth, give him some encouragement. He's an adult, there's no way he can't understand your condition" Nathan said.

"Not knowing me." Kafka left from there. His goal was a rooftop, his favorite place to calm his mind.

And as usual Yohan will always go where Kafka goes. Because Yohan knew her best friend had a short thought. Yohan knows, at times like this Kafka will blame himself for all the problems that occur. He didn't want Kafka to do anything reckless.

"I shouldn't have gone there that day." muttered Kafka as he stared at the crowd in the city from his school rooftop.

"There's no point in regretting what happened." said Yohan suddenly.

Kafka turned to look at Yohan.

"The man Lo lakalin was right. Lo's destination is to ask where Mama Lo's grave is, not to damage their family" said Yohan.

"But indirectly, because I'm there comes this problem" said Kafka. Right no? Kafka will blame himself for the problem.

"Then? Can you turn time? Nope! What you can do now is try to help solve this problem" said Yohan who made Kafka speechless.

On the other hand, Natasha was crying inside her room while covering her ears. His parents had a big fight in the living room, broken flower vases, glasses, and glass scattered because of his mother's slamming.

"Tasha please stop.." murmured Natasha softly as she sobbed.

After half an hour had passed, the sound of commotion downstairs was no longer heard. Natasha had stopped crying, but her eyes had remained swollen from crying since Kafka had been rude to her. Then plus his family problems further make himself down.

"Kafka.." call Natasha Iirih.

"Why should I cry? Obviously he doesn't like me, he hates me. Then I should hate her too." Natasha said with tightly clenched hands.

Natasha has no idea that Kafka is her brother. He only knew the problem that made his parents quarrel until his mother filed for divorce was the disclosure of his papa's affair.

Under Hara and El who had calmed down a little after a big fight were sitting on the sofa without talking to each other.

"I don't care, I want a divorce" Hara said.

"Is your mind not too short huh?!" ask El.

"I told you, give the boy his due or divorce me! I don't want to live a life of luxury over the suffering of others!" shout Hara.

El nodded his forehead dizzy. "As far as you! Bring that bum here. Cancel the divorce!" el said then the man went upstairs and went into his room.

After that Hara went out of the house to calm herself down. If he stays inside the house, the emotions that accumulate in his chest will overflow again. He didn't want that to happen.

Time passed, it was Kafka's time to go home from school. On the way home, his phone suddenly rang. Look who's calling. He frowned when he saw an unknown number. But he kept picking up his phone.

"Hello? Who yeah?" ask Kafka.

"Kafka, this is me Hara. Can you come to the xx cafe?" ask the woman behind the phone.

Kafka's expression instantly changed when he found out who called him.

"Well." answered Kafka briefly. Then he immediately turned off his phone and drove his motorbike to the cafe by which his stepmother meant.

The cafe is in the city center. Although the distance is a bit far from the Gifari housing where he lives, but because Kafka rides his motorcycle at high speed he only takes 15 minutes to reach the cafe.

"Tante Hara." call Kafka.

"Here sit." said Hara with a smile.

"What's Auntie doing?" ask Kafka.

"Do you want to stay in our house? You are also part of the Anzalion family." asked Hara suddenly.

Kafka clenched his hands tightly. Then shook his head firmly. "No. I am happy with my life now. After all, that day I did not ask to be recognized as the son of the Anzalion family" Kafka said, declining Hara's offer.

"Mama please. Stay with us, don't make you guilty of taking away your happiness" Hara said, holding Kafka's hand.

Kafka's heart was slightly touched to hear the woman mention the word mama. This means that the woman recognizes herself as her child, even though she is not her biological child. But still, he can't stay there.

"Sorry Aunt, Mr. El will not agree if I stay there" replied Kafka refusing again. Actually, that's not the reason for not staying at Anzalion's residence. The real reason was that he didn't want to stay one roof with Natasha. She desperately avoids Natasha at school so that her feelings for her stepbrother do not get worse. If there was only one roof, he might not be able to control his feelings for Natasha.
