The Journey of Jinan

Chapters. 6

Linda left Jinan's house in disappointment. He did not expect if the woman he considered good was able to cheat on his son.

Jinan, overwhelmed with guilt, did not stop her sobs after the departure of her former father-in-law from her home.

"Astaghfirullah's. Forgive me O Allah, forgive me," jinan chirped with a gulp.

It is true that this guilty feeling will continue to haunt Jinan until everything is revealed. But he himself does not know, when all this will be revealed. Or rather, whether this lie could be revealed. While he himself could not tell the truth to Linda or the Son, as well as Romi.

Shortly after the departure of Linda and Putra, suddenly the door of Jinan's house was knocked from outside. Jinan looked up at the door, when the door was knocked back, Jinan wiped her tears that had flooded her tiny face. Jinan exhaled repeatedly to subside for a hiccup due to the effects of crying. After feeling better, Jinan went to the door.

When the door opened, a beautiful dark red-haired woman stood in front of her door. The woman looked at Jinan in silence without saying a word even though Jinan was in sight.

"Ria, what's wrong?" ask Jinan slowly. He tried to smile behind the wounds he made himself.

"Sir Jinan isn't papa?" ask the woman named Ria.

"Huh?" Jinan was silent for a moment, she was confused by Ria's question. But a few minutes later he realized his face was swollen. "Em, my brother is not papa. Why, Ri?"

"Can Ria come in, sister?" ria Pinta.

Jinan gasped for a moment, she forgot to offer Ria to enter her house.

"Oh yeah, let's go in. Sorry Ri, Brother until you forget your nawarin entered," said Jinan unpleasantly.

"No papa, sister," said Ria.

Ria sat her body on the wooden double chair of the living room, she patted the seatbed next to her, asking Jinan to sit next to her.

"Sister Jinan won't take me sister Jiban again huh?" ria asked after Jinan sat down next to her.

"Huh? Why are you, Ri? It's weird" Jinan said.

"Don't answer my question."

"You're so weird. Yes, you are my only brother. Although we are not blood, but Brother already thinks you are like a younger brother Brother himself knows." Jinan pokes Ria's nose in a fit of anxiety.

"Keep, why don't you want to tell Ria about Sister's problem?" ria's question made Jinan frown.

"That's the matter?" ask Jinan.

Ria nodded her head. The woman's face now looked more serious than before.

"I'm sorry, Brother. I overheard my sister's conversation with Linda's mom earlier." Ria paused her speech for a moment while staring at Jinan intensely. It was clear that the face of the hijab-wearing woman in front of him looked surprised by his words just now.

"Sister, the big brother here is not alone. There I will always be with my brother. Brother shouldn't have kept all this to himself, brother."

Ria clasped Jinan's hand affectionately. She overhears Linda's voice speaking in high intonation to Jinan as she visits Jinan's house. He who initially wanted to leave also abandoned his intention because he was so curious when Linda asked about the divorce.

Jinan who could not help but cry because she thought back to her mistake spilled her tears in Ria's arms. Either he cried because he had lied about Romi's fault, or because of his painful divorce, and or because his life was never far from sadness.

Ria rubbed Jian's back, she let Jinan with her tears until the hijab-wearing woman stopped herself from crying.

A few minutes later, Jinan's cries were no longer heard. It seemed that the woman was satisfied to spill her sorrow through her sobs. Jinan looked up at Ria.

Jinan slowly begins to tell Ria that she has divorced Romi because Romi cheated on her. Jinan accidentally does not tell Ria about Romi's affair and a woman named Aurel, he does not want to expose the disgrace of others more than this.

Ria who heard the story of Jinan was furious about the behavior of the man named Romi. How could the man be having an affair, while his relationship with Jinan had only just begun.

"So, Brother why not be honest with parents Romi? They deserve to know, brother. They should even know the depraved behavior of their proud child. If this is 'the brother will be blamed for your divorce, while mas Romi can be delicious with his affair out there," cerocos Ria is upset about the decision of Jinan who prefers to lie to hide Romi's mistakes that harm him.

"Sister has promised Romi to hide all this, Ri. He wouldn't divorce Brother if Brother told his parents for what he did."

"But why admit a mistake you never made? They'll consider Big Sister cheap or something, sister."

Jinan lowered her gaze, what Ria said was indeed true, she would be labeled as a cheap woman because of her confession. But what to say, the rice has become porridge, what he said cannot be withdrawn. As powerful as he gave any other reason later, everyone would definitely not believe him. In fact, she would be considered a lying woman who likes to make up stories.

Jinan looked at Ria nanar. "What should you do, Ri? Brother can not say the truth to parents Romi mas. You can't, Ri."

Ria sighed, she did not know how to help Jinan deal with this matter either. The problems that Jinan was facing right now were too complicated for him who was still very young.

"So patient brother. This one brother's matter is quite complicated for me. I just finished school, where I know this household problem. But I promise, I will always be there for you. So, if you have something you want to tell or just a bedmate, I'm ready for four five" said Ria spirit in the last two sentences.

Jinan smiled thinly. A woman who is one year different from him is always good to him, Ria can always understand his situation. You could say, Ria is the only friend who is very and very caring for him compared to his other friends.

"You still want to be here, Ri?" ask Jinan.

"Why, Brother?"

"Silver wants to pray, Brother forgot if not yet sholat ashar."

"Oh, yaudah I pray, I also want to go home. Take a shower, it smells so bad coming home from school straight here."

"Why did you go to school?"

"Three-fingered stamp, brother."

Jinan only agreed with Ria's words. They moved from their seats. Jinan followed Ria's steps towards the entrance, but only two steps he walked, suddenly his head felt dizzy. Jinan held the back of the single chair that was beside her left as a rebuttal, she closed her eyes to reduce the dizziness that suddenly came uninvited.

Ria who heard the friction of the chair turned around. He was surprised to find Jinan who seemed to refute his body on the back of the chair.

"Big brother why?" ask Ria worried.

Jinan shook his head without a sound.

"Yaudah Brother sit down first. Maybe because it was too long crying, so dizzy," said Ria while guiding Jinan's body on a single chair which became his rebuttal.

Jinan rested her back on the back of the chair, while Ria herself was currently on her way to the kitchen to make a warm drink for Jinan after Jinan sat comfortably in her chair. Jinan just stood still and took a massage on her temple and nose until Ria came back with a glass of warm tea in her hand.

After gulping down one sip of that warm tea, ask Ria to leave it alone. Although it was not hearty to leave Jinan alone in a bad condition, but Ria still left from there. Maybe Jinan needs a break and doesn't want to be bothered by it.

Five minutes later, the dizziness in Jinan's head finally began to subside. Jinan slowly got up and walked to the bathroom to worship and perform his prayers that were too late.
