God's Choice of Mate

Brief Chat

Brother Reno kept pulling and clasping my hand firmly.

"Let go of my hand" I said a little screamed and rebelled.

Brother Reno turned to me with one of his hands that he put in his pants pocket.

He leaned his head towards my head while walking.

"You don't fuck! It's all just a charade, and yet I also don't want to hold your hand" Reno said, whispering in my ear.

"What are you doing all this for?," I asked.

Brother Reno turned his head again towards me then smiled sinisterly with a grin.

"To make you and Roy hurt.I love to see you suffer even more than you do," whispered Brother Reno back.

"Sister Roy's your best friend, isn't he, you can hurt your own best friend!," I said annoyedly.

"Friend??" said Brother Reno while looking at me.

"That friend should support my decision instead of opposing me and looking for trouble with me" Reno said upsetly.

"That's because you're bad! a liar! Cruel! and full of sin!," I said with a slight cry.

"What do you say I'm a sinner, cruel and evil!

Well, I'll show you how cruel I am."

Brother Reno's face turned red, he was angry to hear my words.

Then he purposely vented his anger by squeezing my injured finger as hard as he could.

"AUWwwwwwwwww..,"god cried out in pain.

"Feel it!," said Brother Reno gladly.

Hearing my screaming voice, Roy quickly let go of Rere's hand.

He quickly followed me and Brother Reno who would be in front of him.

"Ran what's wrong?what's going on?" asked Roy anxiously.

I still cringed in pain holding my hand.

"O Allah Ran, your hand is hurt again.How can it be?," he said in panic.

"This must be you, right Ren?" said Brother Roy angrily.

"If so, why?what are you going to do, huh? You're a coward and can't do anything about it" said Brother Reno as he pushed Kak Roy's chest.

Seeing the harsh and arbitrary treatment of Brother Reno.

Brother Roy looks angry and wants to hit Brother Reno.

"Sister Roy don't!," I shouted while wounding them.

"I told you you were a COWard!"ledek, Brother Reno.

I'm trying to calm down Brother Roy.

"Sister Roy istighfar, do not be provoked by the words of Brother Reno," I said.

Roy looked at me with his breath up and down.

"Astaghfirullah hal adzim," said Brother Reno slowly.

"Follow Rani's words, brother,"I told Sister Roy.

"Allahumma inni a’udzubika min asy-shaithan ar-rajim. (O Allah, I take refuge in You from the temptations of the damned Satan)" said I and Brother Roy together.

"Salman al-Farisi ra once said: Do not be angry! Even if you're angry, control your mouth and your hands" I said to Roy.

"Thank you Ran for reminding sister," said Kak Roy who had decreased his emotions.

I nodded back to Brother Roy.

Then walk up to Reno.

"Allahumma innii a'uudzu Bika min jahdil balaa i wa darkisy syaqaai wa suuil qadlaai wa syamaatatil a'daai (meaning: O Allah, Allah,verily I take refuge in You from the terrible misfortune and the abyss of the misfortune of the misfortune and the mockery of the enemy), "I recite the do'a before Brother Reno.

Then I continued my words,

"One thing you should know Brother Reno.Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala saw everything for the tyranny you and your family did to me and Brother Roy.

If until now I have been silent and have not reciprocated even accepted it sincerely it is not necessarily because I am afraid or weak before you.Trust me all the hopes of my do'a iniquity that you cause with your family will be God rewards at the right time.Then repent and be aware before it is too late.Before what you will do will be meaningless nothing."

Brother Reno looked at me with a very angry face, his lips held back his emotions with their teeth occasionally grinding.

BRUUUKKk.....

Brother Reno pushed my body so hard that I fell flat on the floor.

"Raniiiiii." cried Kak Roy and Rere together.

"That's the result of your talk, a weak woman like you will never be as strong as you pray and ask God" she said, turning her body around to walk away.

However, Brother Reno stopped stepping and returned to look at me.

"One more good look.If you dare once again to lecture me or dare to me.Then, I do not hesitate to do things that you will never expect even worse than this.REMEMBER MY WORDS HERE!,"snapping Brother Reno while pointing at me and then leaving.

"Ran, are you okay?" asked Rere.

I endured the pain all over my body.

I pretended to hide it.

Roy and Rere helped me up.

"Jeez Ran, your hand is hurt again" Rere said hysterically.

"Please take care of Rani.I take bandages and wound medicine," Roy said to Rere and then he left.

Meanwhile, Rere helped me sit down.

"Ran, what really happened to you?tell me?"please ask Rere while pulling up a chair to sit down.

"There is no Re" I replied, holding my hand and wrapping it in my clothes.

"Ran, please don't hide anything from me.You're my best friend, aren't you?" Rere asked seriously.

"True Re," I said as I grimaced with pain.

"There is no way Ran.Something that bothered my mind from earlier.How can you marry a rude man, do not understand manners and do not appreciate women like Reno," said Rere who looks upset.

"It's a long story Re," I said.

"Despite the length I want to keep hearing and knowing Ran,please!,"Rere asked.

"Now is not the right time Re.

I beg you to understand and get out of here with Brother Roy, "my dear.

"Why are you so worried Ran?am I getting suspicious?My desire to know about you is getting bigger Ran," Rere said.

Suddenly Roy with Bik Siti and Pak Budi came together.

Roy's brother brought a box of P3K (First Aid On Accident).

"Oh Allah nak Rani" said Bik Siti worried by tears.

"Son Rani is okay?" asked Budi who was worried about my situation.

Sis Roy quickly sat down near me and treated my wounds.

Rere saw Kak Roy's actions and I felt bad for him.

I pulled my hand as Roy treated my wound.

"Later let Rani treat herself, brother," I said.

However, Brother Roy did not bully me.

Back he pulled my hand slowly and continued to treat my wound to the end regardless of Rere who had been observing his actions.

"Does it hurt?" asked Roy to me.

Hearing his question I glanced slightly towards Rere.

He looked at me and Roy with the facial expressions of many questions.

"Does Ran hurt?" asked Roy back.

"Eg..eg..eh ..no," I replied in surprise.

"When you come home from the hospital, Rani always gets rough and bad treatment from Nak Reno, Nak Roy," said Bik Siti complaining to Kak Roy.

Then Bik Siti rubbed my head gently.

"But aunt can't do anything to help Nak Rani," said Bik Siti with teary eyes.

"Why not reported to the police alone.That's the name KDRT (in-household violence).Aunty can be a witness and me or Roy can help Rani.

Are we going to the hospital right now to do a visa?,"chattering Rere instantly.

Everyone was staring at Rere's words including myself.

"Why are you all surprised?what did I say wrong?" asked Rere.

"Everything is not as easy as imagined, son," said Mr. Budi.

"Our country is a legal state sir.This is a form of error by letting the man named Reno do arbitrarily to Rani.He must get a lesson in order to feel the deterrent effect," said Rere upset.

"Yes right son, but money and power can manipulate everything son," said Pa Budi.

"I mean?," asked Rere puzzled.

Hearing Rere's overly bold remarks and questions. I'm afraid I'll be heard by Reno and the rest of the family .

This will certainly bring trouble for Rere.

I gestured to Brother Roy so that he would come home soon.

Even though I see the look on the face of Kak Roy still wants to be near me.

"What do you mean by the words of the father?" Rere asked Budi.

I then gave the code to Mr. Budi by not being too open and responded to Rere's remarks.

And fortunately, Mr. Budi understood.

"Eh.sorry excuse me, son, it looks like the father called the master," said Mr. Budi dodged Rere's question.

Rere looked a little annoyed at the attitude of Mr. Budi who did not heed his question.

"Re, it's better now that you go home with Roy to prepare for your show tomorrow night," I diverted his attention.

"Oh..ya Ran.But how are you?" asked Rere.

"Don't worry about me there is a God who takes care of me" I replied with a smile.

"You sure Ran?" asked Rere again.

"This is God, yes, Re."

"Alright if so Ran,ayo Kak Roy we go home," said Rere.

However, Brother Roy did not discuss Rere's invitation.

He looked at me and thought of something.

Without lingering waiting for Kak Roy's answer.

Rere immediately pulled Kak Roy's arm.

Reverie Kak Roy.

"Ran, we go home first.You take care of yourself.Until you meet again tomorrow at my house Ran.Dah...Rani," said Rere while pulling and holding Kak Roy's hand.

"Take care of yourself Ran.Bik tipped Rani yes," said Kak Roy with a restless face.

"Yes, son" replied Bik Siti.

I looked towards Brother Roy and Rere who were walking away from me.

Yes ...tak ..tak ...

High heels Rere...

The longer it sounded faint and distant...

Until they disappeared from before me.

"Let's go inside," said Bik Siti.

"Yes Bik, Rani will continue sweeping and mopping" I said.

"Don't kid, just let auntie your hands still hurt" said Bik Siti worried.

"Nothing Bik, Allah Rani is strong," I replied.

Me and Bik Siti went back into the dining room.

I saw there were no more members of the Suprapto family.

Uhhhhh.....

I took a deep breath and felt relieved.

At least I can do the job without intimidation from them especially Brother Reno.

I took a broom sweep of the dirty floor with a drop of food at Bik Siti's company.

Srap...srup...srap ...

Slowly and carefully sweep the floor so that no broken plates and glasses are left behind.

To make my feet hurt.

But for a few minutes I was calm.

"Auwwww.astaghfirullah," I said a little in surprise.

Brother Reno has stood right in front of me and surprised me.

I held my chest as I calmed my fast beating heart.

I saw his smile grinning.

He was like a starving beast ready to pounce on me at any moment.
