"Om, aunt, Kian is deeply sorry for the magnitude of this decision. But Kian can't accept this matchmaking." Said Kian steadily, which of course made the four people round their eyes in disbelief. Can't talk and just stare at Kian with an angry look.
"Kian!!!!" Shouted a man who now rose from his chair, then approached Kian and
Plaques
One slap landed on Kian's cheek, in that public face. Everyone in the restaurant was now staring at Kian and his father, staring strangely and starting to talk about them.
While the three people at the table immediately rose, like they could not believe what had just happened.
"Bram, what did you do to Kian. Never mind, stop that. Everyone's staring at you." Said Tasya, "I'm sure Kian didn't really seriously say that." Further again.
Withholding tears, Kian kept staring at everyone as if now he was fine and indeed that was his decision. There was no joking or playful in his words. If even his father was angry at this time it was definitely because he refused, then Kian could accept that. His father was not entirely wrong about this.
"Tante, it's serious. I'm sorry about this. But Kian really can't." He said with hard red eyes. Shame, pain, and anger become one. But Kian tried to hold him back.
"I'm sure Kian has a reason for that. Is that right, son?" Tasya said again convincingly to the three people who looked seriously at Kian.
"What the hell is Bram! What's wrong with your son? Did something happen?" Rio asked opening his voice.
"I'm sorry Roy. But I'll sort this out soon."
"Alright, go home first. Solve your problems with your son." Roy said with a strange-looking corner of his eye.
Kian was dragged by his father to leave the restaurant, regardless of who saw them. The more who groaned in pain because the grip was not cared for by Bram. He still drags Kian until the car and immediately tancap gas home, do not forget with Intan who also participated.

Now Kian walked with a bag on his back, still wearing a dongker dress earlier. Down the highway, not knowing the direction and destination.
For a moment he recalled his father's words earlier, "Yes, but if you want to get married then tonight's business is done. Think again, life out there is more horrible when you have no one!"
Kian know this life is not easy, it's just the way to be happy is not the only one to be rich, right? After all, he could not marry Jerry who had such a crazy attitude.
Why, at the restaurant or at home he can not explain why he rejected Jerry with certainty. His tongue felt faint, as he was about to say that. What a disgusting thing to tell, especially in front of the parents. I guess that's not true, after all if only Kian speaks what cares about them? Will they believe it? While Jerry has made such good reflika without the slightest scratch. So if Kian only talks about what he knows about Jerry without any evidence, maybe they'll assume it's just a prank or even a defamation.
Kian did not want to extend the problem, but his father even said no, even to bring Devan in this matter. Making him so upset, let alone hearing endless scolding on Devan. Until now Kian has gathered four men who do not like Devan. And that's not an ordinary person.
Do they know about Devan's problem? Instantly the sentence of an illegitimate child flashed in his brain. Is that really so? But her mother never told Kian that. Those thoughts filled his head, making him realize and immediately shook his head quickly. Instead of thinking about his current situation, he even thought about Devan who seemed like other people knew more than him. He immediately brushed off the problem that had nothing to do with him at all.
After struggling with him, Kian now refocused on his condition. It's getting late, he doesn't even know where to go. He wanted to find a contract, but the first thing he could not do was quickly find where the contract was. Walking will take a long time. Besides, this highway looks so quiet tonight that it makes Kian unable to ride public transportation.
"Where can I take public transportation, if I just don't have money."
Second, he did not know where to look for the contract, around the complex he never saw any contract that narrowed. As for the contract he found there was not necessarily an empty one that he could occupy. Third, again and again the harsh reality, he has no money. How could he guarantee to be able to contract without money. Does anyone still believe in a child who is still sitting in this school. Of course they will know if Kian does not have a job. How to pay the contract then.
"Hiks.. hiks.. I'm sorry it's mom's dad....."
He was crying again, and it was true what his father said. He just got out of the house a few hours ago, but it felt so heavy. How can he live the next five months and have to raise money to get his father back? If tonight was too much trouble. Maybe this is the important point, because the end of all this is that she will still be married to Jerry.
The last way he pulled out a cell phone in his bag. Look at the number he's in contact with for help, but does he have to call his best friend right now? Should he trouble her now? It's too late to bother anyone else. After all, he did not want to trouble others, but had to prove that he could live without having to marry a rich man in his life.
Until that intention is closed. He put the phone back in his bag, and continued walking. It runs straight with the brain still raging. There is fear, and regret as well. But all of that is in vain for now. His heart asked him if his current decision was wrong? Is choosing the path not to marry that man the biggest mistake of his life? Suppose his father could have made other choices without getting married other than the path he took, maybe he would have taken that path now.
The tears came back remembering all the words and treatment of his father.
"It turns out this is what it feels like to be expelled indirectly. hiks..."
He was really confused now how to. He went back to justifying what his father said. "Is it possible that I will be the one who is stranded on the road without a backrest?"
Drrtts... Drrttt
His phone vibrated, quickly grabbing the phone. Someone's name is on there. Which even a few minutes ago was imagined by Kian. But it's a little weird for Kian, why he's calling her right now. Is there a problem? Or is there something?? Or maybe....
The mind has drifted everywhere. Imagine something bad happening. Plus his parents don't like Devan.
Tut, call connected.
"Hello assalamulaikum."
"Waalaikumsalam, where are you?"
The question from sebrang was successful in making Kian silent for a while.
"Woy, you're still there, right?"
"Eh. yes-yes. Why the Van? Tumben so much about my nanyain?" Kian asked with a voice that was still raucous, it was very clear that he had finished crying.
"Look behind, I want to go back. Where's lo? Now I am in front of your house. Spit out."
"Lo doing my house, go home now. I am no longer home. Back there, books can still be returned tomorrow. Why should it be anter to the house."
"Where's lo? Why is your voice?"
"Gue is okay. Anyway you go home now! about his book tomorrow's business."
Tut
The phone disconnected, Kian crouched to hide his face which was now very wet. Drowning out all the problems he couldn't tell others in the arms of his knees. Destroying every piece of his regret within.

Something came out of his nose. The red viscous liquid slid freely from the nose. Make Kian wake up and immediately take the tissue in his bag.
If this has happened, then why the fear in him has increased. His hands began to tremble, and his head was already in great pain.
He cursed his stupidity, he should not think about a lot of things until stress like this. Now his mind is only focused on whether he will pass out here until tomorrow morning, and wait for someone else to save him.
No!! Walking is very difficult and difficult. He tried to sit on the road divider on the sidewalk. Sit down and rest her tired self. Maybe because it's too far away.
The clean wipes are now all red spots, do not forget he stuffed the nose so that the thick liquid can no longer come out and drain more energy at this time.
He looked back at the medicine bottle, worried about whether to drink or not. He had just had a drink when he went to the show. Usually, he never took the drug in one night to two times. He looked back at the bottle. Yet...
Rekh.
No matter what it is, Kian just turned to the right and to the left looking for the source of the sound. But he found nothing, keeping him awake. His mind floated up to see what it was. Fear spread throughout all inches of his body.
He got up from sitting away from the bushes behind him. Imagine what's behind there. A few seconds the sound was heard again, and sure enough. The sound was coming from a bush not far from him.
Rekh.
Again and again the bushes rubbed against each other making the sound again sound. Make it backtrack how many steps. Now that his fear had doubled, his sweat had already poured out along his forehead.
Maybe he was afraid of humans like pscyo or thieves, but it would be worse if what if behind the bushes were wild animals? It could have been a dog or a wolf that could have pounced on him right now. Plus the streets are so quiet and dark, even Kian did not know who to ask for help if it really happened to him.
Even if he ran would he have escaped this time? The average running speed of dogs can reach 40 km/h while wolves can reach 50-60 km/h. And herself? He was the weakest man he had ever met. Even running feels so heavy. He who is easily tired and with such circumstances, it does not seem easy to do that.
Rekh.
The voice drew closer to him, making him tightly hug the bag he was holding at the moment. Keep walking backwards without paying attention around. Swallowing the saliva with difficulty, sweat had soaked the tissue in his grasp. Wanna scream? Who would hear in such a quiet place. Only able to resign, because at this time he was so weak and not strong anymore to do anything.
Dukh
He woke up, opened his eyes and stopped where he was now. He felt someone behind him. He who walked backwards away from the bushes, now even behind him accidentally hit the body of someone who was so sturdy not even move a little because it was hit. He was a little relieved because he could find someone, but on the other hand he was also afraid.
Again he swallowed the saliva with great difficulty. He sensed that his head was currently in front of the chest field of someone who knew who it was. Is it possible that he was the first thing I imagined? Like a thief or someone.... The strange thought came back into his mind. Keep him closed for longer without wanting to turn around to see the person. He can say now, he escaped from the lion cage but instead entered the crocodile cage.
"Kian?" Call her.
The voice he knew, he was very familiar. But how can it be? Is it the wrong person or... Kian tried to turn his body, although it still shook quite violently.
He looked up and it turned out.....
Zrukh
Kian directly hugged the body like asking for help without speaking only with body language. The person who was hugged felt something strange. Kian's trembling body made him a little confused.
Without realizing it, now the shirt he was wearing was wet. It was from someone who was in front of him who was without excuse crying without a sound. Hiding the face in the chest of his field, with the occasional body raised, because it was sobbing.
That's all he knows. The hug got stronger but he did not dare to return the hug. His hands were just hanging, with the body already on one's deck. It made him feel the coldness of the body now.
He was eager to get back into the body, but he was afraid, like taking advantage of an opportunity. And honestly for the first time he felt another hug from a woman after all this time. After the woman he loved left him for good.
