Part Twenty


"If your mama still doesn't give her blessing, I'm fine to back off, Ndre. I don't want to make you a bad boy just because of me. I can't live with someone whose family can't accept me. Because for me, marriage isn't just about you and me. But about your family, also my family" Kinan said.


"Mama can definitely accept you, trust me" replied Andre who continued to try to dispel Kinan's doubts.


Kinan smiled with a forced thought. Trying to dispel the doubts he was in at this moment.


"Just trust me, we can cheat on this" said Andre again.


Kinan nodded as well.


"I'm a laper" said Kinan.


Andre laughed amusedly at Kinan's words.


"Why laugh?" ask Kinan annoyed.


"No, you're funny. Yehudah eat yuk, where do you want to eat?" ask Andre.


"At the usual place" replied Kinan.


"Okay princess!"


Andre also drove his car to their subscription dining place.

"I'm sorry, Ren. I want to be happy without anyone's shadow. Again, I'm sorry. I can't continue this. Sorry" Rani wrote on a piece of paper.


He walked down the stairs, carrying a large suitcase. He removed the clear hair that was wetting his cheeks. His decision was unanimous, he gave up. He'll be gone from Reno's life, though it may be too late.


With a shaky step, he headed for his car. Rani took her gawai. He turned it off, then took out his sim card and threw it away. Maybe this is the best way for him, he wants to be free and happy now. He got in his car and drove his car. I don't know where he's going, which is clear he's going away from Reno.


Rani's car kept on going, through the darkness of the night. Her tears kept flowing down her smooth cheeks. All his dreams, memories, and love must be buried within. Maybe this is the reward he must get for forcing his way into the lives of two people who love each other. Rani feels so stupid that she feels she can get Reno, completely. His body, his heart, his love. But what he got was just a deep sense of disappointment and regret.


Hopefully the decision is the right one. Hopefully with this, he can be happy even without Reno. And Reno, can re-discover her happiness with or without Kinan and herself.

"Roman.."


tok tok's.


"Knees.."


tock.tok..


Reno calls Rani, but there is no answer. Today they will visit a boutique to see and choose the wedding clothes they will wear next month. And went to buy a wedding ring. They'll be busy today but Rani hasn't answered Reno's call. In fact, Reno had not been able to contact his future wife since morning. Where's Rani? Inner Reno.


"Ran, you're inside, right?" ask Reno.


But still no answer. Reno began to feel anxious. He went down and asked for a copy of the key to Rani's boarding house keeper.


After asking for the key, Reno rushed to open Rani's room. Empty empty. Reno searched the entire room, all the way to the bathroom, but Rani was not there. Reno rubbed her face rough. Reno was very frustrated. He sat down on the side of Rani's bed. Reno sees a piece of paper attached to Rani's dresser. Reno took the paper and read it.


*Hai, Ren.


Sorry, I didn't go tell you. I've been thinking about this, my decision has been unanimous Ren. I can't continue this relationship. I hope you understand. I want to be happy too, Ren. I really want to replace Kinan, in your heart and in your family's heart. But I can't and never will. Forever I will only be seen as the destroyer of my own best friend's household. For me, it might be too late. But for you, it's not too late. Go back to Kinan, Ren. I know Kinan, and I know Kinan still loves you.


I'm sorry I had to give up this way. I'm sorry I can't fight with you anymore. I realize I can only have your body, but not your heart. Allow me to go, Ren. Allow me to be happy in my own way. I'm sorry, Ren. I want to be happy without anyone's shadow. Again, I'm sorry. Again, I'm sorry I couldn't continue this.


Randy*.


Reno squeezed the paper and threw it. He's upset, fucked up, he's scrambling Rani's room. Slaughtering everything in front of him. Reno even punched the glass of Rani's dressing table. His breath hunts, his jaw hardens.


"You can't get away from me, Ran!" reno.


As he departs from Rani's room, Reno is determined to find Rani and will make Rani melt down and return to her. However, Rani must remain by his side. He has lost Kinan, now he also does not want to lose Rani.


The first place he would go to was the second house of Rani's parents. Rani must be there, Reno thought. Reno immediately gas to Rani's parents' house.


Along the way, Reno felt restless. He really doesn't want to lose Rani. Although it is true what Rani says, that she still has love for Kinan. The taste for Kinan has not faded completely, but he also loves Rani. Although his love for Rani is not as deep as his love for Kinan. But he promises, he will try to love Rani as much as he loves Kinan even greater.


"You can't leave me, Ran" Reno muttered.


Reno continues to drive his car at high speed. Many times he rubbed his face rough. Until Reno did not play down the streets around him. In his mind was only Rani. He wants to meet with Rani immediately and regret everything.


"Tiiinnn.... Tiiinnnn"


The sound of car horns from the opposite direction disperse Reno daydreams. He was late and could not escape. Until finally Reno car hit the car from the opposite direction.


"RENOOS!!" Shouted Kinan.


Kinan looked around. He's in the room. Cold sweat washed all over his body. It just seems like a nightmare.


"astagfirullahaladzim, astagfirullah astagfirullah" Kinan said.


Kinan held onto his chest, why was his heart so painful? Why is he so worried about Reno?


Kinan grabbed his phone, he saw it was already half ten. Kinan got out of his bed.


"just woke up?" ask Naya


"Yes" replied Kinan.


"That's a note from Andre. Said to make a breakfast of princess Kinan" Goda Naya.


"what the hell" said Kinan.


"Where are you going today?" ask Kinan.


"not where. It's been cut off" replied Naya.


"Cie's on the pingit" teased Kinan


Naya just laughed. When they were busy chatting suddenly Kinan's phone rang. He saw an unknown number. Without a second thought he answered the call


"Hello, Assalamu'alaikum"


"Yes, what's wrong Ma?"


"WHATAAA?!"


Naya was shocked to hear Kinan's scream. Kinan dropped his phone. His body went limp, and immediately fell to the floor.


Seriate.
