CARNATION (KIARA)
HENDRA'S EMBRACE

Boldly, tonight for the first time Kiara opened a past identity that she had kept secret from anyone.

"It's late, and I'm tired, you're not kidding, are you? If you're joking around because today is your birthday, your joke Kiara really isn't funny this time."

Kiara quickly shook her head.

"I'm not kidding Hen, all the things I'm saying right now, I'm an ex-con who's been serving five years of prison time."

At once the room became silent, at this time Hendra could not say anything to Kiara, the one woman who was currently still sitting beside him crying.

"What case is Kiara?"

Boldly in the end Hendra inquired over the case that made Kiara must be punished.

"Hen's murder."

Deg

Indeed, at this time Hendra was again made very shocked, the woman whose heart was very soft turned out to have killed someone who eventually made him in the law

"I killed him, yes killed stepfather with my own two hands."

"What are you doing about that, Kiara?"

Kiara's two hands now hold each other when Hendra asks that, because inevitably Kiara must return to remember - recall events in the past.

"If you're not ready to tell a story right now, I won't force you Kiara."

"My stepfather tried to rape, and I killed him to protect myself Hendra."

Kiara finally came back to say this by lowering her head, at this time Kiara did not dare to look at Hendra's face.

"I don't know if you can feel the way I feel, or if you're currently judging me, but what I want to tell you is what I want to tell you, it happened when I was seventeen."

Kiara came back to tears with a deep breath as she tried to strengthen herself as she was about to tell the continuation of her past story.

"My family is a very messy family Hen, my mom has always been physically abused by my stepfather, and it's not just my mom that she wants to suffer, I want her to suffer the same."

"Who was Helen's real father? did he know about the incident at the time?"

now Hendra again looked sharply at Kiara.

"Helene's biological father was my teacher at school, yes white gray school, at that time she was the new teacher at my school."

Kiara fell silent again, and in the end re-telling one by one how her meeting with Adrian (this can read the novel Silent Love yah😇)

"We did that only once, and Adrian was drunk, but after that I came out of his apartment and shortly after the incident there was a case of attempted rape committed by stepfather."

"At that time Adrian must have known if I finally went to prison and served the sentence, but at that time in the end I no longer met with Adrian and..."

Kiara was silent again.

"And what's Kiara?"

"Adrian had no idea that while in custody I was pregnant and eventually gave birth to Helen, that is why until now Adrian has not known at all if he has a daughter who has grown up."

"You have to tell Adrian Kiara, all these stories."

kiara quickly shook her head.

"What's Hendra for? I won't guarantee that Adrian will eventually recognize Helen as his own biological child."

Kiara fell silent again with all Hendra said.

"In this case Helen has absolutely no share, Helen is a child who is entitled to get affection to her two parents, regardless of their current status, are they still together or separated."

"Either Hen, until now I have not been able to give any answer about Adrian's identity to Helen."

"Yes Kiara I understand what you're feeling right now, but again in this case I beg you not to think about yourself, go back to sacrificing for Helen."

Adrian said that while holding Kiara's hand to give strength.

"Thank you Hendra."

"Same - same Kiara."

Hendra said this while smiling at Kiara.

"I'm sorry I messed up all these surprise plans, Hen."

Kiara said this while looking at her birthday cake which is currently still lying on the table.

"No matter Kiara, birthdays are not just synonymous with candles and cakes right?"

"Yes you're right Hendra."

"Kiara would you allow me to hug you? Ah sorry I don't mean it that way, as a friend I just want to wish you happy birthday in my own way, but if you don't like it, then I'll never force it."

"Do Hendra, I trust you so much."

After saying this Kiara stretched out to her two hands and Kiara's body was immediately greeted by Hendra, now Kiara drowned in the warm embrace of the Psychiatrist.

"Happy birthday, happy birthday to the powerful woman named Kiara, God will continue to be with you, happiness will continue to be with you."

"Amin Hendra."

There was a sense of comfort from Kiara as she entered into Hendra's arms, a sense of security so strong that it entered into Kiara's heart niche, the protection of one adult man whom he had never felt for the first time was felt.

Hendra's affectionate embrace gave to Kiara, and for a moment Hendra let his body be held tightly by Kiara.

"How can I go home?"

Deg

At once Kiara also realized that she had been hugging Hendra for too long.

"Hendra, I'm sorry I didn't mean it."

"Sssst, there's no need to explain I understand what you're dealing with right now."

Hendra said this while taking the doctor's suit that had been on their side seat.

"Take good care of yourself, Kiara, if you need me don't hesitate to call me."

"Good Hen."

And after saying this, Hendra opened the door of Kiara's house and immediately disappeared from Kiara's presence.

Hendra slowly got into the car and returned' driving the car towards the highway.
