CRY OF REGRET

With a heart that felt sad and empty, Ardian drove Nayla's motorbike to Zanna's house.

Arriving at Zanna's house, Ardian saw Nayla already sitting on the terrace with Zanna.

Both of them looked silent with the same cold faces.

"Good morning Zanna." said Ardian, releasing a sad smile.

"Good morning, too Mr. Ardian." Zanna replied smiling, holding back her pity for Ardian who could still let go of his smile.

"Nayla, you didn't return Mr. Ardian's greetings?" Zanna asked irritably at Nayla who had just arrived between Kenzo.

"It's in my heart." Nayla replied, turning her gaze to the front page.

"What is wrong? did you guys fight?" Ardian asked, not wanting Nayla and Zanna to argue about last night.

"I don't know, from the morning Zanna was like that!!" Nayla replied as she took her bag on the table and walked towards the motorbike in Ardian's park.

"Zanna, is it true that you two had a fight?" Ardian asked worriedly.

"No Mr. Ardian, we just have a misunderstanding." Zanna replied smiling at Ardian who was such a kind and patient person.

"Thank God then, I'll take Nayla first, Zan." Ardian said goodbye to Zanna.

Zanna nodded her head and smiled.

Both on the motorbike, Nayla did not hold on to Ardian at all.

With a slow speed Ardian drove his motorbike to Nayla's house.

Arriving at Nayla's house, Sasongko and Mother Nay welcomed Ardian.

After Nayla got off the motorbike, Ardian got off the motorbike and put the motorbike under a coconut tree.

Nayla walked with Ardian into the house.

Nayla comes into the house, and sees her parents' eyes full of anger, for some reason.

"Mom, Dad." said Nayla smiling at her parents.

But not the answer that Nayla got, but a very hard slap that Nayla got.

"PLAKKKK"

"Dad, what's wrong? why did dad slap me?" asked Nayla, holding her cheek with tears already pouring down.

Ardian, who was surprised by Sasongko's attitude, immediately held Sasongko's hand when he was about to slap Nayla again.

"Let me slap this shameless Nayla, Ardian." shouted Sasongko, pointing at Nayla's face.

"Daddy,!! What did I do wrong??? I did what I was embarrassed about?" asked Nayla in a loud voice mixed with sobs.

"You still dare to ask Daddy? after you didn't go home last night and slept at Kenzo's rented house??" shouted Sasongko about to slap Nayla's face again.

Nayla's feet took a few steps back, so her father knew last night she didn't sleep at Ardian's house but at Kenzo's.

Nayla turned her gaze to Ardian with a gaze full of hatred.

Nayla quickly approached Ardian and pushed Ardian's body so hard that Ardian's body hit the wall.

"Are you satisfied now !! you have fun? if Daddy and Momy hate me !! why do you have the heart to tell Dad after I trusted you and asked you for help." shouted Nayla, beating Ardian's chest.

"Nayla I don't ....." Ardian tried to explain and continued speaking, but Nayla did not give Ardian the slightest chance.

"Come out quickly !! leave this house, I don't want to see you anymore." shouted Nayla, pushing Ardian's body out of the house.

Seeing Nayla's attitude, Sasongko grabbed Nayla's hand roughly and sat on a wooden chair.

"Listen to Nayla's dad !! not Ardian who came out of this house, but you !! you want to know right? How do you know this? I found out from Kenzo's dad !! you know Nayla? di put where's your face when Kenzo's dad said that you slept in Kenzo's rented house ??? and one more thing, Ardian has protected you, Dad called him last night to confirm the message from you is correct or not, and Ardian told Ayah that you were with him because you were sick, and now it is clear that you were wrong, still angry with Ardian?" said Sasongko with tremendous anger.

Nayla burst into tears, getting louder and not knowing what else to say.

Ardian, who was outside, stood and leaned against the wall with his eyes closed.

Sasongko came out and pulled Ardian's hand into the house.

"Ardian, next time if Nayla lies and makes another mistake, Please don't protect and cover up your mistakes anymore ... let Nayla get the punishment." said Sasongko who felt even more guilty towards Ardian.

"Nayla, apologize to Ardian if you want Mom and Dad to forgive you, if you don't want you can leave this house now.." said Sasongko very firmly.

Nayla looked at her parents in embarrassment, what she was afraid of really happened.

With great regret Nayla prostrated under her father's feet.

"Father, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I have embarrassed you, Daddy and Momy. I can swear I didn't do anything, I was only looking after Kenzo because he was sick and tried to kill himself, Dad." Nayla explained with endless tears.

"Nayla, don't do it again like this. Now apologize to Ardian, because Mom and Dad won't be able to forgive you if you don't apologize to Ardian. Ardian is very kind Nayla, don't hurt Ardian anymore." Sasongko said shedding tears, making Nayla cry even more in regret.

"Come on Mom, let's go inside, let Nayla solve the problem with Ardian." Said Sasongko, grabbing Mother Nay's shoulder who could only cry softly to see the argument between her husband and daughter.

"Remember Nayla, maybe right now you can't love Ardian, but momy as women really know how men can take care of you. Ardian loves you very much and can take good care of you. Trust me, Nay." said Mother Nay before entering the room.

After Sasongko and Mother Nay entered the room, only Nayla and Ardian sat silently with their own thoughts.

With her eyes swollen, Nayla gave Ardian a glance and then lowered her face in shame and regret for all that had happened.

"Would Mr. Ardian want to forgive me if I apologized?" asked Nayla crying while lowering her face.

Ardian looked at Nayla's swollen face who was still crying with a bowed face.

Slowly Ardian lifted Nayla's chin and wiped the tears that were still flowing.

"Don't cry, your beauty will be lost if you cry all the time." said Ardian with a smile.

"Will Mr. Ardian want to forgive me? I know I was wrong and my mistake cannot easily be forgiven by my Daddy and Momy, especially Mr. Ardian. I'm sorry about all of this." said Nayla, still with her eyes down, she didn't have the courage to meet Ardian's gaze.

"Nayla, look at me .. do I look angry at you?" Ardian asked who suddenly his chest was beating very fast, as Nayla slowly looked into his eyes with teary eyes.
