Let the Heart Choose
Iiih Cheating

Tone sat back in his chair, Kinan still standing at his original position. Kinan's lips opened, as if he wanted to say something but were very heavy.

Tone trying to stifle his emotions, who was the woman who was at home? Linger beside a person who has made his child lie weak at this time.

"Nad, I'm a woman just like you. I know you've been so tormented lately, I'm sorry for making you and Andra wrong every day" Kinan said.

Tone was still silent, he was still focused on staring at Alif who was still asleep. Kinan threw a glance at Alif.

"Yesterday I saw Mas Andra sitting on the sidewalk with Alif, it didn't seem like they were okay. So I took the initiative to cheer her up, unfortunately the opposite happened." said Kinan held back his urge.

Hearing Kinan's words, Nada's heart thundered even more. It turned out to be true what he thought, Alif was too sensitive to the intimate problems of his parents. Nada remembers that last night Alif heard the quarrel between him and Andra, so he was carried away to his messy mood.

"Yes right, I'm nervous. I always ask Mas Andra to always be near me, I'm sorry Nada. I was helpless" said Kinan, growing sobbing.

What's Nada doing? Just silence. Her heart was tired of thinking about her relationship with her husband. Although Kinan would reveal everything at this moment, there was not the slightest sense of resistance.

"But everything was in vain, the harder I chased. Then the further away Mas Andra," said Kinan while wiping his tears.

Hearing Kinan's roaring cry made Nada throw a glance at him, a look of despair emanated on his face.

"You can fight for Mas Andra" said Nada expressionlessly.

"Do it, I won't bother you" said Nada, raising her head.

Kinan immediately sat on the floor and hugged Nada's leg, he had not expected the woman's answer before him. He was prepared when this woman would attack him.

It is fitting that Andra maintains Nada, no woman can accept the honesty of a man who tries to damage his household.

Kinan was crying more and more, there was a sense of happiness as well as fear that mixed into one. Could it be that what Nada said was true? Is this not just a dream?

Do not ask how the reaction of Laras who is behind the wall. He was currently already jumping up and down in excitement hearing Nada's reply.

Nada should have been acting like this before, so she could feel the luxury of returning without having to see her beloved son slam.

All this time Andra always spoiled, because her husband went without cause to make her work hard.

"Deliver!" said Nada cynically.

"Even though I let you take Andra away from me, that doesn't mean we're friends and you can just as easily touch me" Nada said coldly.

"Your hands are too dirty to touch me" said Nada expressionlessly.

Spicy, just this time Nada uttered a soul-piercing sentence. But Kinan did not mind, he took off his embrace and stood back up. He wiped away the tears left on his cheeks.

Kinan could accept Nada's treatment towards him, this was nothing compared to a humiliating tantrum.

"I think it's all clear, so you can go now" said Nada.

"Thank you Nad" said Kinan slowly stepping his legs to leave.

At the same time a male nurse entered Alif's room, she brought a bag of plastic that had no idea what it was.

Faisal came to see Nada, his steps halted upon hearing Nada's sobbing.

"Excuse Mommy Nak, Mommy is not as strong as you think." said Nada softly tucked Alif's fingers.

Tone's shoulders moved up and down, looking at it like it made Faisal's heart sliced. His eyes began to glaze over, as if he felt his suffering.

During this time Nada is a strong woman that Faisal met, stupid if Andra to lose him. Moreover, there are children who still need their love.

Pleased? Yes, Faisal should be happy when he sees Nada and Andra fighting. This was an opportunity for him to pursue the love of Nada.

But believe me, only God knows. No matter how hard we chase, if we are not fools. Then our efforts will be in vain.

"Udah, let's eat first" said Faisal stroked Nada's back.

"Yes, look at my nephew" Faisal said, throwing a smile.

Tone replied with a small smile, his fingers wiping away the tears that had started to stop. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

He was quite embarrassed because his destruction was known by Faisal, he used to say that Andra was not a good man. But a stubborn tone, not paying attention.

Now, just by looking at Faisal alone. He already felt the skillet was just smeared.

"Crying also needs energy, but eat first. Putar in the next cry again." kekeh Faisal.

Faisal pulled out a board tucked away in the hospital nightstand, opened a bag of crackles and pulled out a packet of rice and a glass of warm tea.

The aroma of rice Padang yelled at the olfactory senses of Nada, while his stomach was rumbling. It was as if the worms in his stomach were coming to smell this delicious scent.

"Now, Lo's favorite food!" said Fasial sitting next to Alif who was still asleep.

Because since morning he did not put anything in his stomach makes Nada immediately devour the rice. Hunger is more dominant than shame.

Seeing Nada who directly devoured the rice wrap he gave made Nada's eyes look glassy, he did not expect his friend's life would be this difficult. He was very kind and helpful.

Faisal still remembered how often Nada gave him a portion of food every hour overtime. At that time he was squeezed by a lot of debt, so to eat he had to save money.

A misbehaved tone saw Faisal who kept looking at him.

"Heh blink dong, will you?" ask Nada.

"With Neng, have eaten," said Faisal chuckled.

The mention made Nada remember her time working in this hospital. etched a small smile on Nada's face.

"OK-okay Bang Ical, here dong Eneng bribe," kekeh Nada.

"Maybe?" faisal asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Come, Aaa .." said Nada as she opened her mouth.

Faisal also opened his mouth, Nada's hand carrying a spoon filled with rice was already on Faisal's mouth.

Unfortunately, the spoon spun back and into the mouth of Tone. Faisal furrowed his brows and reflexively guided Nada's hand scooping the rice and thrusting it into Faisal's mouth forcefully.

"Ihh, cheating." perotes Tone.

"I bought it" Elak Faisal.

"No Iklhas nih the story," said Nada squinted his eyes.

"Ikhlas, make Eneng what the hell is not," said Faisal.

Their jokes made Nada a little calmer, her face already revealed the smile of her room.

But all did not last long, suddenly Laras came back. I don't know what brought it back, which is clear. Facial facial expressions reveal emotions.

"Pantes Zaskia is sticky with Faisal, Mommy is also sticky" said Laras, throwing a sharp look at Nada and Faisal.

"Excuse me yes, I want to take the bag that is left behind on the nightstand" said Laras while standing next to the nightstand.

Tone immediately stood up and shifted his steps, Laras immediately opened the lower nightstand door and picked up a red bag.

After obtaining it, he threw a cynical glance towards Nada and Faisal.

"It's a good thing you're smart and know yourself, you don't deserve Andra. Divorce is indeed the best way for you," said Laras then stepped away.

"What! Lo want to divorce Nad," said Faisal did not expect.
