I'm Not a Choice.
Cruelty-in-law.

" Give your bad thoughts about my daughter! because what's on your mind is a big mistake." Said Rifky's father again, as if the middle-aged man knew what the young man standing before him was thinking. " You guys come out and I want to talk to him alone." As for Nadia and Rista, the two women came out, giving time for Rifky's father and Riyadh to speak, just as their father wanted them to.

Suddenly the atmosphere nuanced white was immediately silent, after the departure of the two women. Riyadh was still sitting in his place, waiting for the middle-aged man to end the silence between them.

" I know you don't love my daughter." Said Rifky's father with a faint smile, It's not without reason that a father will talk like that, because he only wants to test the earnestness of the young man who is beside him. " You're just wondering why he's acting that way." A guess but right on target made Riyadh scratch his nape which was definitely not itchy.

" Really what I say." Ask the father of three children again, making Riyadh increasingly lose his words to provide a defense. His face reddened in shame, having been caught lying to the man who was lying weakly on his bed.

" I'm sorry Sa_"

" No need to apologize! you're not the first person to do this, because there used to be some young people doing the same thing." Rifky's father said before Riyadh finished his speech. " If you're still curious about her then will I tell you why my daughter behaved? like now, but I hope after this stay away from him." Pinta Rifky's father is hopeful. But the young man beside her did not respond, just waiting to find out what really happened to the woman named Icha.

Silent...

Rifky's father is seen breathing in for a moment, before reopening his heart wound.

Flashback.

POV Daddy Rifky.

Ten years ago, Icha was a cheerful and spoiled girl! He is good at everything he wants to learn or get along with, Some people who see it will certainly like it even though there are some who do not like the natural name is also alive there must be good and bad is not. My wife and I love our children so much, What they want we always fulfill, Especially for Icha our youngest daughter.

Our days were so happy that the day that the calamity came upon my family.

My poor daughter Icha, she disappeared after school, and so did her brother who wanted to pick her up at the time.

My wife and I were looking for both of them that day, helped by my unit friends. We searched here and there, asking the All Students, Teachers and School Guards who knew who had seen where the two of them had gone but the result was Nil. The second day, Icha and Raihan never found.

The third day I was almost desperate, but one of my friends from the Intel tapes managed to find out their truth from one of the schoolgirls who saw Icha coming home with one of the teachers, that teacher is none other than my own sister-in-law.

I want to ask the student why he just told me everything now! On the first day, I asked! why he said he didn't know. But all those questions I ponder, for the fate of my children is far more important for now.

We're heading to my In-laws' house. As soon as I got there, I saw him sitting on the porch drinking coffee and smoking a cigarette in his hand. He behaved normally, as if nothing had happened.

" What's wrong?" Ask. " Why are there so many cops?" Continue while looking at my friends

" Didn't your sister tell you! that your two nieces are missing?" Instead of answering his question, I asked.

" No! I want to ask you, where are Icha and Raihan." Answer me.

" I'm."

" Yes! One of Icha's schoolmates saw her coming home with you."

" Oh that! Yes at first he did come home with me, but in the middle of the road, Raihan stopped my bike, He asked Icha to come with him, Icha too according! I also don't know where they're going because I'm going straight home." The answer was so smoothly there was no burden at all, making us believe in him but my little heart felt something strange, my heart was so heavy leaving the place.

" Are you sure! you don't know where they are?" Ask one of my friends.

" Yes I don't know brother! if I knew for sure I'd tell brother." he answered trying to convince all of us.

" Ahh shit my tires are flat." Complaining one of my Friends, our eyes all stared at him.

" Bottom down to the workshop first let's wait here." My other friend's proposal.

" Yes, there just so happens to be a workshop not far from here, right at the end of the street over there." Said my sister-in-law while pointing towards the road leading to the workshop.

" Can take me." Pinta! but my sister-in-law seemed to think and there was a doubt to say yes. He hesitated to leave his home.

" What the hell is inside, until you're so heavy leaving your house." I said straight away, just like that, into his house. I've been very frustrated looking for the whereabouts of children who are out of nowhere, added my brother-in-law as if they do not want to work together.

He who was afraid of being found out something immediately ran to hold me but it was too late that I first entered his house, once I arrived in the living room I was so shocked! his ever-groomed house was destroyed like a broken ship. My heart was pounding uncontrollably as I looked at the blood on the floor that had dried up.

I pay no heed to the yells and the ban on going deeper! curiosity and worry have taken hold of me.

Two of my curious friends, following my steps.we followed the bloodstains on the floor, we arrived at a room that I believed was his room, I rarely visited his house, even if I visit, I only arrive in the living room.

" Open." Pinta one of my friends, when he smelled a pungent smell from inside the room. without a second thought I immediately turned the door hendel and once the door was open, my body immediately suffocated, my body immediately, seeing the abomination of my own brother-in-law.

My legs feel boneless, my heart seems to stop beating. The two children I had been looking for to and fro, for these three days, lying unconscious on the bed located in the room, Icha's body was not covered by a single thread, fresh blood began to dry up on both of his thighs, not to mention the many traces of red left on his white skin and the pungent smell that came from the body of the brother who was stiff I don't know what my brother-in-law did to the two children and since when all of that happened.

One of my friends approached, he pulled a blanket to cover icha's body, after which checked her pulse. " It's still alive." He said, he swiftly lifted Icha's body to take her to the hospital! As for Raihan, he was already lifeless.

From that day on I felt so failed, the uniform I was wearing could not help and protect my two children, I might succeed in the task but I failed to become a father.
