S2. Dream House, Bab78. The proposal?
***
Along the way home Karina kept thinking about Nita's conversation with the person who called her. He could see Nita's mood turning warm when lifting her up. He was sure that that person was Bian.
Karina's heart was envious, considering she couldn't get that close to Bian. Their promise used to be a delusion. Especially after the departure of his brother. Suffering comes to him.
However, Karina assures her that the person who contacted Nita is not Bian.
"No, yes, not Bian. I'm sure," Karina murmured her heart back into a dilemma. Although maybe the truth is they will be together. However, he still believed his delusion. And believe that Bian will keep his promise.
"But hearing him say a proposal, is this what keeps him closed to Mr Krishna? If it is not Bian who proposes to whom else, all this time, Mbak Nita, only close to Bian," said Karina who is still thinking about those words. When he will say goodbye home.
"I'm too hopeful, Yan, if it's all wrong. Yeah, I must have heard it wrong,"
As he was in a state of turmoil thinking about it, the sound of his phone ringing spread his daydream. Tazkia, that's the name on the phone screen.
["There's no good news, Brother Krin?"] tazkia asked, not the answer she wanted but the heavy breath she heard.
["She did not give any reply Miss Kia, neither was there any rejection nor was she. It seems like the success rate is very thin," Karina replied she regretted not being able to provide assistance to Krishna's family.
["I'll just go there, Brother Krin,"]

Tazkia and Ari are on their way to Karina's house. It seemed like Kia wanted to provide a solution that she had once told Karina.
"You sure he'll accept?" ari asked opening the conversation. Kia snorted, then pursed her lips. Making Ari link her brows did not understand.
"Sometimes like to be surprised, when asked even act strange," murmured Ari, he raised the corner of his lips to form a smile. Without realizing it, Kia had folded her hands on her chest with her sharp gaze.
"Why?"
"I heard it, I want to make him continue to approach Mbak Tata, if he can not persuade Mbak Tata, he himself must be a connecting mother for my nephew," said Kia with a grin.
"She will definitely choose to persuade Miss Nita, she will not accept Mr. Krishna. He loves Bian" said Ari. Kia seemed to be thinking hard.
"Who said?" ask Kia. Ari still focused her eyes forward despite seeing the curious look lodged on Kia's face.
Long time no answer Kia playing music loudly, "budeg all you, so the ghost on the rail manggarai only. What so cool so, hot-tempered!" chirps Kia with her upset face. However, Ari did not respond to Kia's chirping.
When Karina was hired, Kia got out of the car without waiting for Ari to open the door for her. He ran around small to get to Karina's contract.
"Like a little kid who's crashing." Again Ari smiled at Kia's behavior.

The three of them were sitting daydreaming in front of Karina's contract, Kia thought of a way to put pressure on Karina so that the girl could cooperate with her. While Karina she thought of Bian, and was so worried that Bian would actually propose to Nita. Then what about his feelings.
Kia who has been steady will say it was shouting, "let's see, we try to persuade Mbak Nita to give him a second chance!"
Ari knitted her brows when she heard Karina's voice. It seemed like Ari could guess if the girl was thinking about something that made her dilemma. Kia shifted her body closer towards Ari, she even hugged Ari's hand involuntarily.
Karina was aware of what she was saying, she immediately turned her head to the side looking at the romantic scene beside her.
"Miss Kia, I-I just heard ... Mbak Nita said the proposal, it looks like Bian proposed to Mbak Nita," said Karina revealed her heartbreak earlier.
Kia looked riled up, she pinched so roughly on Ari's arm, to vent it. He did not recall if someone beside him held back the pain of the pinch.
Karina will help Ari, to resuscitate Takzia. But Ari, choosing to wave his hand so that Karina did not say anything to Tazkia. For Ari, while it can treat Tazkia's annoyance she doesn't mind it.
"We must thwart that plan, brother, if we still remain silent what about Mas Krishna. She would definitely be even worse off hearing this news," restless Kia, her hand continued to pinch Ari's arm.
"Mas Ar--" Kia's speech was cut off when she saw the hand of her self still banging the chunk of flesh on the man's arm. Ari smiled slylyly and pointed at her arm that was in the center of Kia's cubiti.
Tazkia scratched her non-itchy head, feeling clumsy. His mischievous hands slowly moved away from Ari's hands. The girl also slowly approached Karina, whispering.
"So why don't you wake me up, anyway. It seems like a long time to feel comfortable pinching it. God, why do I feel like I'm pinching my monkey doll in my room." However, Ari could hear Kia's words, the man squinted his eyes because it was likened to a monkey doll.
"Miss Kia, you really are! Look at my hand that your fingers have painted." Ari opened her arms until the elbow. Kia looked surprised and closed her gaping mouth.
"God, why is my hand so naughty, besides my mouth like meatballs merecon it turns out my hand is also poisonous," said Kia. Kia said goodbye and chose to go home.
***
Arriving at home, Kia immediately ran to the house she brought ointment for her to apply on Ari's arm.
"Why not protest anyway, why shut up?" asked Kia when she had come with the ointment.
"I just want you not to feel depressed because your emotions can't be channeled. Wouldn't you be angry all the way if you-"
"Don't continue Mas Ari," cut Kia. He sighed violently and blew on Ari's arm which had become an outlet for his frustration.
Without them realizing their romantic scene was witnessed by Krishna, the man noticed their closeness. Ari's gaze at Kia illustrates that the man so admires Kia.
Feeling enough to watch, Krishna walked up to them with a faint smile. However, by the time his feet had approached them he looked surprised when Tazkia said.
"I don't know until when we can keep this secret. What if Bian will actually propose to Mbak Tata. Mas Krisna's heart will definitely be hurt and broken into pieces like pieces of meatballs that I'm chewing," said Kia lamenting the fate of Krishna.
"Bakso? can't you think of anything better than meatballs that are so intense in women's favor." Ari will flick her hand on Kia's forehead. However, he realized that Krishna was there. He immediately stood up and looked at Krishna with hope, Krishna did not listen to Kia's words.
"He's going to be proposed to that man, Ari? s*al, I lost to that snot boy." grumbled Krishna, he stared intently at Ari and Kia.
"This important information you cover Kia!"
