Chose Him
The Twelve Sections

"Andre?"

Kinan was half surprised to see Andre behind him.

"Why? Shocked?" Andre asked with a smile.

Kinan simply smiled and shook his head. He sat back and looked at the view around. Andre walked over and sat down beside Kinan.

"Why?" Ask the dimpled man.

Kinan sighed then looked at the tree-covered sky. But the light is still a little visible. The wind blew softly, caressing Kinan's face. Looking at Kinan, Andre did the same. He looked up his head and saw the lagit then he lowered his head and looked at Kinan.

"Lo why?" Ask Andre again.

Kinan lowered his head and bowed for a moment. Then he sighed again and looked at the face of the man who had been watching him.

"Gue wants a divorce" Kinan replied.

Andre surprised. Didn't Kinan say that he would fix his household with her husband?

"It turns out I was wrong all along. I'm defending the wrong people. I love the wrong people" Kinan said.

"Aren't you going to fix your relationship with your husband?" Ask Andre.

"It was" Kinan replied briefly.

Kinan then cast his gaze forward. Sighs and begins to tell her what she saw when she came home. His heart was broken again when he had not been able to repair it. Her tears came back, but she quickly wiped them.

"He was my first girlfriend. My first love. I didn't expect it to be rich"

Andre's speechless.

"When he proposed to me, I was half dead. That night I could not sleep because I was happy. Since I married her, I have never cried. Because he always makes me happy, I trust him completely.."

Kinan was silent for a moment, sighing and trying to hold back his cries.

"But at the age of my second marriage. The second time, I had a super special surprise. My husband, cheating on my own best friend.."

Kinan began to sob.

Andre just looked at Kinan who was crying. He can't do anything. If he had the right, maybe the man had been beaten by Andre. If they had met earlier, maybe Kinan wouldn't be this broken right now.

"Lo sure you want to split up?" Andre's question convinced Kinan.

Kinan nodded and wiped his tears.

"My friends will take care of everything. I just need time to talk to my family" replied Kinan.

Andre approached, then looked at Kinan's face fixedly. The look they see each other.

"Lo deserves to be happy, Kinan"

Kinan. He saw Andre. Then throw back his sight.

"Gue also wants to be happy" Kinan replied.

"Good, let me help you"

Kinan.

"meaning?"

Andre was nervous and scratched his head.

"Not really" replied Andre awkwardly.

Kinan just smiled. They were silent and dissolved in their minds. Every now and then, Andre glanced at Kinan's shady face and smiled. Kinan does always look beautiful, what is the lack of Kinan? She's beautiful and nice. Why would her husband hurt her? Inner Andre.

Reno woke up from her sleep. He looks around. His head was so dizzy, his whole body was in pain. He tried to get out of his bed. This is his room, his mind. He was trying to remember what happened. Ah, yes. Last night he was gang-raped by some men, then they left him by the side of the road.

"Mas Reno is up?" Bi Mur's voice suddenly startled Reno.

"Already, bi" Reno replied.

"Auntie can come in? This is auntie bring warm porridge"

"Come in, bi"

Bi Mur also entered carrying a tray containing a bowl of porridge and a glass of warm water.

"Who's taking me home, bi?" Ask Reno.

"Auntie doesn't know, Mom. Aunt does not know. Last night there were three men, between Mas Reno continued to leave immediately" said bi Mur.

Reno just nodded, bi Mur was saying goodbye because there are still many jobs in the kitchen.

Reno was silent for quite a while. He saw a picture of his wedding to Kinan.

"Do you still want to accept me?" Reno lirih.

Reno immediately got out of bed. He must immediately resolve his problem with Kinan. Before Kinan actually divorced her. He should be able to bring Kinan back. With heavy steps, he walked towards the bathroom to cleanse his body.

"Well, Mas Reno want to go again?" Bi Mur asked when he saw Reno had returned neatly.

"Yes bi, I have a business that cannot be delayed. Titip house yes, bi" said Reno.

Reno passed, but when she opened the door. She was shocked to see her two parents in-laws at the door.

"Well, Ren? Where you going?" Ask Ms. Retno, Kinan's mother.

"Loh mom, dad. How come you're not here?" Ask Reno

"It will be a surprise" replied Mr. Hendi, Kinan's father.

"Jeez, your face why Ren?"

"Uhm, yes. This is all about Reno fighting the same snatch, ma'am" Reno told a lie.

"Geez, has it been treated? Where are you going?" Ask Retno.

"Reno has a sudden business, ma'am. Oh let's go in first" Reno asked as she led the two in and let them sit down.

"Where's the day, Ren?" Ask Kinan's father.

Reno was nervous, how is this? Kinan's parents don't seem to know about the problems he and Kinan are having.

"Uhm. That, Kinan.."

"Kok you're so nervous anyway, Ren? What's up?" Ask Ms. Retno.

"No ma'am, it's okay. Kinan again the same holiday Naya" said Reno.

"Vacation?"

"Yes, yeah. Kinan said to stay home. And yes, I know. The end of the day is busy, so Kinan may be lonely" Reno said.

"It's our love of grandchildren, let Kinan also have his friend at home"

"So, we failed to give Kinan a surprise. Same mother wants to stop by Raihan's house (brother Kinan) only. Later if Kinan has come home, then we are here again" said Ms. Retno.

"Dad you don't want to stay here?" Ask Reno how stale

"No. You're busy, Kinan is also on vacation. We don't want to disrupt Kinan's vacation with your work"

"Don't forget to treat your wounds, Ren. Next time heart. Don't play with the snapshot. What are you going to do next?" Said Miss Retno worriedly.

"Yes ma'am" Reno replied with a smile.

Both of Kinan's parents immediately paid respects to Reno. They left his daughter-in-law's house immediately. Reno breathed a sigh of relief, as he did not need to lie much anymore.

"Sorry Reno, father, mother.." Inner Reno.

On the way, actually Bu Retno thought about her son's household. Really so? Isn't Kinan on vacation? Then why the number Kinan has been inactive for a long time. It's not usually Kinan like this. It's been a month and Kinan hasn't told me.

"Mom.."

"Eh yes, yeah"

"Think what?" Ask Mr. Hendi.

"Mom thinks Kinan, yeah"

Ms. Retno sighed.

"Mom feels, Kinan and Reno are not okay. They must have a problem again" said Ms Retno

"Dad knows, ma'am. But they're grown-ups. Let them solve their own problems. If they need help or input, they will definitely come to us. Mom doesn't have to worry. You must take care of your health condition. Do not think of a macem macem" said Mr. Hendi who tried to calm his wife.

Miss Retno just nodded. His gaze was fixed on a fairly quiet street. His mind was still not calm until he met his daughter.

"May you be good, dear" said Ms. Retno slowly.

****

Reno drives her car to Naya's apartment. He knew Kinan must be there. He drove his car at high speed. He wants to meet Kinan soon.

Reno walked into the apartment. But his steps came to a halt as he watched from a distance Kinan was walking with a foreign man. He did not recognize the man. Reno saw Kinan laughing with the man. His chest was hot, his hands started clenching. Reno walked over to Kinan and the man.

'BUGGGS'

Without a second thought, Reno hit the man in the face until he fell down.

'BUGGGS'

Not yet had time to wake up and fight, Reno again gave a blow to the man's face. Reno beat him up.

"RENO STOP, TOLOOONG!!" Shouted Kinan in panic.

Reno paid no heed to Kinan's cry.

"YAROSHEN!!" kinan shouted

Kinan tried to separate the two, but Reno pushed Kinan's body down.

"RENO STOP!!"

Reno paid no heed to Kinan. He continued to beat the man to death. Before long, the guards came and separated the two.

"So this is what you're doing right now huh! You walk with another man? You hid in Naya's apartment so you could be free with this guy, right?" Jerky Reno.

"More!"

Kinan's eyes were already hot but he was trying to hold back his cries.

"Why do you wear hijab if you sleep with a man who is not your husband! How many times have you slept with her? Huh"

Reno pulls the hijab of Kinan until it is released.

'PLAAAK'

"ENOUGH RENO!!"

"It doesn't mean you've slept with another woman, and I'll do the same! I'm not that low!" Snap In Kinan.

Reno fell silent.

Kinan approached Andre and grabbed Andre's body.

"Come on Ndre, I'll help you" asked Kinan.

Reno is not flinching.

Kinan walked away from Reno. The Saptams ask Reno to leave because he has done chaos in the apartment environment.

Kinan walked beside Andre. Kinan walked slowly into the elevator. They both fell silent. Once in a while Andre glanced at Kinan, he wanted to make sure that Kinan was okay.

"What floor's your room?" Ask Kinan.

"Floored 15" replied Andre.

Kinan is headed to the 15th floor. Andre showed me his apartment. They also went inside.

"There's ice cubes?" Kinan asked without looking at Andre's face.

"There's a fridge"

"Little towel?"

"there"

Kinan took a towel and an ice cube. He made a cold compress to compress Andre's wound.

Their distance is now very close. Andre continued to look at Kinan, he saw a disappointed and angry look on Kinan's face.

"Lo not papa?" Ask Andre.

Kinan stopped compressing Andre's face and smiled.

"I should be the one, you are battered" replied Kinan.

When Kinan wanted to compress back Andre's wound, Andre immediately held Kinan's hand.

"Lo sure why not?" Andre's question convinced Kinan.

Kinan. His eyes started to feel hot, his chest started to feel tight.

"Kalo lo mau nangis, just cry. No need to be arrested" Andre said.

Kinan leaned against Andre's shoulders and cried. His tears broke, his tears could not stand. After being betrayed, this time Kinan felt that Reno had demeaned him. Reno accuses her of sleeping with another man. Even Reno pulled the Kinan hijab apart. His heart is completely broken now.

Andre wanted to embrace Kinan, wanted to hug Kinan, stroked his hair. But he broke it. He just listened to Kinan. Without realizing it, it turns out his heart was also broken to see Kinan crying. Andre could do nothing but let Kinan cry until he felt calmer.

Seriate.
