Chose Him
Section Eleven

"We're divorced" Kinan said.

"Ma.. What do you mean?" Reno asked confusedly.

"less clear? We are divorced" Kinan said firmly.

"We need to talk" Reno said, pulling Kinan's hand. However Kinan immediately let go of Reno's handrails.

"There's nothing we need to talk about anymore. Everything is clear. I want us to separate"

Reno fell silent.

"I came home to fix our relationship. But what do I get? I saw you in the hospital, same Rani. It's not the first time you're rich, Ren" Kinan said, sobbing.

"Kinan, listen first" Reno tried to carry Kinan in her arms, but Kinan directly pushed on Reno's body.

"My decision is unanimous, I don't need any explanation or reason from you. Because without you even explaining it, I already know everything" said Kinan.

Kinan then passed and left Reno. Kinan walked over crying. While Reno, silently pecked in her room. Kinan did not know where to go, Kinan was not ready to tell his parents about the matter, because his mother was sick. Kinan was afraid that if his mother knew, it would worsen his health condition. Kinan decided to return to Naya's apartment.

While walking in the hallway of the apartment, suddenly Kinan hit a man.

"I'm sorry" said Kinan, looking down

"Kinan?" The man said in shock.

"Andre?" Kinan was surprised, he did not expect to meet Andre here.

"Lo why?" Ask Andre.

Kinan did not answer.

"Where are you going?" Ask Andre again.

"Gue's going to my place. Sorry, I hunted Ndre" said Kinan while leaving Andre.

Andre just looked at Kinan confusedly. What the hell's going on? Isn't Kinan coming home to fix his household? Then why is he crying? Why does it look messed up? Andre's mind raged. He wanted to know what happened to Kinan. Andre wanted to follow Kinan, but his steps came to a halt. It discouraged the intention to follow Kinan. He turned and left immediately.

Kinan continued walking while crying. Arriving at Naya's room, Kinan cried and hugged his best friend tightly.

"Gue can't handle this, Nay" Kinan said.

"Gue tau, Nan. You calm yourself first" said Naya.

"Gue will take care of this as soon as possible, I want it to end quickly. I don't want to be hurt anymore, I don't want to be disappointed anymore" said Kinan.

"Gue will help you as much as I can. Lo's tough, yeah. I'm sure you're strong" Naya said trying to comfort Kinan.

At the hospital, Reno was staring at Rani who was asleep. His condition is getting better. The doctor said Rani could go home soon. Reno was confused by his feelings. What should he say to his parents if he and Kinan get divorced? Will his parents accept Rani as Kinan's replacement? Reno rubbed her face rough.

"More?" Call Rani.

"Yes?" Reno replied as she approached Rani.

Rani tries to get up and sit in her bed.

"Slow down" Reno said, helping Rani hold her body.

"You here?" Ask Rani.

"As you can see" Reno replied with a smile.

"Ren, I'm gonna talk to you"

"What by the way?" Reno asks while stroking Rani's hair.

"From tomorrow, you don't have to bother to come here" said Rani.

"Who? Why why?" Asked Reno astonished.

Rani sighed and continued her conversation.

"I. I want you to find Kinan. I want to, we fix your household and Kinan" said Rani, looking down.

"Why are you talking about that?" Reno asked who was trying to hold back her emotions.

"Ren, I can't handle this relationship. I don't want to continue to fall into error. How can I be happy over the suffering of others? The suffering of my own friend? I admit, I've been too selfish all along. I was blinded by love. But now that I realize, there is no place for me in your life. I don't want to be the third person, Ren. I also want to get married, want to have a life like any other normal couple. Not keep hiding like this" said Rani as she sobbed.

"We can get married, Ran. You could be the only woman in my life" said Reno.

"You mean?"

"Kinan has asked for a divorce" Reno replied, bowing.

"Keep you thinking, I'll be happy with your divorce?" Rani.

Reno was silent.

"Ren, I really want to be happy but not in a way that destroys the happiness of others" Rani continued.

"So what do you want now?" Ask Reno.

"You still ask me what? Let me take care of this, Ren. We come back like two people who don't know each other. Go back to Kinan, Ren. I know, he loves you very much. I'd be happy, if I could see you happy" Rani said, stroking Reno's cheek.

"Kinan has left me, Ran. Now you also leave, me" said Reno weakly.

"It's not too late, Ren" replied Rani.

Reno just fell silent and lowered her head. He cannot think clearly at this time.

"Kinan must be back, Ren" said Rani while holding back her tears.

Reno clasped Rani's hand tightly. He knows, Rani is not okay. Although Rani tried to give a smile, but Reno knew it was just a fake smile. The room became quiet. Reno leaves Rani alone. With a gontai move, Reno walked out of Rani's nursery. While Rani can only stare at the man she loves so much and leave him, while holding back tears. When Reno left, the crying she had been holding back from earlier broke. The defense is collapsing. Her tears could no longer be contained. He held his chest, squeezed his clothes, it hurt so much.  His back shook violently, his breathing began to tighten, his cheeks wet with tears. May this be the best path, Rani.

Tonight, Reno looks pretty fucked up. Really fucked up. Along the way, Reno tried to contain her anger. Many times Reno banged her head against the steering wheel of the car. Cussing and cursing himself. Reno is not wanting to go home, the house becomes quiet and cold without Kinan. He did not know where to go, finally Reno went to a nightclub. Reno feels really frustrated. He did not expect, would be abandoned by the two women he loved. Reno drank alcohol, I don't know how many glasses he drank. His head began to feel dizzy, his body began to stagger. While walking, he accidentally hit a man who was busy dancing with a woman.

"Too the road with dong's eyes!" Shake the guy.

Reno ignored him, but as he was about to leave, his clothes were suddenly pulled by the man.

"Udah hit, don't apologize anymore!" Shake the man again.

"Gue wants to go back" Reno replied.

"Never been taught this lesson" said the man.

'BUGGG' a hard blow landed on Reno's stomach.

Reno tried to fight back, but his fists missed several times because he was drunk.

"Dare to fight you, huh?" Said the man again while giving a code to his friend to beat up Reno.

Reno was beaten to the ground until battered. He can't escape.

"Udah is enough, don't let him die" said the man.

They also soon died Reno who was rolled weakly helpless on the side of the road. With a face full of bruises and blood. Several times Reno coughed and spurted blood from her mouth. Suddenly his sight darkened, and he was unconscious.

"O Allah, the All-Strong Lord, the All-Mighty, the All-Hearing Lord. Give the servant strength and patience to go through all this, O Lord. Give also to the servant sincerity, and spaciousness so that the servant can forgive those who have hurt the servant. Servant surrender all destiny and life to You, Rabbi. Give the best way to the servant of Ya Rabb, aamiin"

Finished his prayer, Kinan opened the mushaf and metered until dawn. His heart was much calmer and serene after he prayed and complained his sorrow to his Lord.

"Gue's going to Semarang for two days, you want to come?" Tanya Naya while eating a sandwich bread made by Kinan.

"No, I'm here" replied Kinan.

"Related?" Ask Nay

Kinan just smiled as he nodded.

"Lo sure you're okay?" Ask Naya.

"Son, Nay. I'm okay, you calm down"

Naya nodded and tried to trust her best friend. Although he knew, how broken and broken Kinan is at this time.

"Oh yeah, I've been in contact with my friends. He's the one who's gonna help you file for divorce" Naya said.

"Thank you, Nay. I don't know what else to do to bales all your kindness"

"Yeah, who is rich" said Naya, smiling.

"But before the court filing. I have to go home and tell my family first" Kinan replied.

"OKAY. Decide what you want to finish. If you need help, I'll be there" said Naya.

"Gue's late, leave yeah. Fridge and cupboard full snack, ko. You won't starve" joked Naya.

Kinan laughed lightly hearing Naya's joke. Naya leaves Kinan in her apartment. Kinan felt very lucky to have a friend as good as Naya. For him, Naya is more than just a friend, Naya is like her brother.

Finished breakfast, Kinan walked his way out of the apartment in search of fresh air. The facilities in the Naya apartment include complete and luxurious. There is a swimming pool, park as well as jogging track, cafe, children playground, and others. Kinan walks around the park. He sat on the bench that was available at the park. He saw some people exercising. And saw some women in uniform like baby sisters playing with little children. Sometimes Kinan smiles at the behavior of the child's pattern.

"Morning has a smile of its own, ma'am" whispered a man whose voice was familiar to Kinan.

Kinan immediately looked back and saw Andre standing behind him while smiling at him..

Seriate.
