The Injured Heart
Chapters. 69. Intan Settled in Jakarta

As promised last night, that morning Andrian came to pick up Retha. By carrying a pack of paplek rice ordered by Retha complete with anointing and fried salted fish. Intentionally, Andrian left early to buy her. Andrian tidied his hair in the mirror and opened the door to the right of the car.

His steps stopped, Bian, the man was already pensive on the terrace chair of Retha's house.

Andrian approached the haughty-looking man and tried to greet him.

"Why are you here?" ask Andrian

"Gue wants to pick up Retha" he said ketus

"The retrieval of Retha is my responsibility. So, you don't have to bother here." Andrian replied

A sneer appeared on Bian's face. "Gue waited here for Retha. So please get out of here."

Andrian clenched his hand.

"Retha my future wife. So I'm the one who has the right to pick up Retha" Andrian said

"Owh is that! Anyway, are you sure yesterday nothing happened between Gue and Retha. But you know it yourself, right? I and Retha were both in the room. It could be that Retha already belongs to me completely." the full sentence led to Andrian's emotions.

Andrian placed the parcel in his hand onto a small table on the porch and floated a raw bogeman into Bian's face. Bian fell down. Unsatisfied, Andrian lifted Andrian's collar and pressed Bian's body against the wall.

"So your mouth is. And your disrespectful way of speaking. Don't ever denigrate Retha with that shit of yours!" andrian geram said

"Retha and I love each other. While Lu? Lu is just a weak man who hopes for Retha to have her return Lu's feelings!" bian

Andrian threw his second blow on Bian's cheek. Bian fell back. The corner of his lips was bleeding. But the laughter did not escape his lips.

BRACKET.. The door of the house is open. Looked like Retha and her aunt were out because of the commotion they were making. Andrian's position was still the same, with his hands clutching the collar of Bian's shirt.

"What the fuck?" snapped Retha while brushed aside Andrian's hand

Andrian stared in disbelief at Retha.

"Why are you fighting? What's up to this storm?" ask Retha

"He started first Tha. He has spoken nothing about you" Andrian said trying to lower his tone

Retha sighed and turned to look towards Bian.

"Tha, I've been here since morning, suddenly he came to make trouble. I don't know what's wrong!" bela Bian's

Rethah was silent for a moment. It was clear these two men were scrambling to drive her.

"Tha, I brought your order. You said yesterday, you want this breakfast, right?" ask Andrian

Retha is unmoved.

"Let's go Tha, we'll have breakfast together at the office." pinta Andrian

"Go to Lu! Retha wants to go with me. We made a deal last night." said Bian.

Andrian intends to go forward and teach a lesson, but Rethah first confronts him.

"Enough Mas. No more commotion. I'm leaving with Bian." said Retha undeniably

Andrian was stunned, as much as Retha was to Bian. Even at times like this, Bian who he always defended. Andrian turned his body. Bringing back the crisps in his hand.

"You sure Tha? Don't you want to be with Andrian? Usually you are always the same as him son." said Aunt Lita

"Yakin aunt. This time Retha wants to be ushered Bian." said Retha while entering to take her bag

Arriving at the office, the lethargic face of Andrian who just came out of his car.

"Mas, tumben's alone. Which one?" seloroh Putra's

"This is gaplek rice for breakfast Put" said Andrian reluctant to respond to Putra

Dugs.. Dug.dug.. Typical exhaust sounds are heard. Retha opened the fence and entered the office. Rethah looked up and rushed into his room.

"Crazy! Retha boned same guy! How come you're justin' Mas!" son Protest

Andrian fell silent and looked back at the Son.

"Mas, your marriage is going to be broken again. Rethas are just like any other guy? You're not afraid that 3 years ago happened again?" cecar Putra's

Andrian looked like he was breathing.

"How else Put. Well, sometimes loving isn't just about having, is it? Maybe also by letting our loved ones happy even with others." Andrian reply resigned

"But Mas! How about your mama, you're not afraid she's in shock anymore. He's had a heart attack!" tukas Putra offset Andrian's steps

"Hopefully not. Hopefully." Andrian's answer is so gamy.

The son just gawked at him. Not thinking about that boss. How could letting go seemed so easy to him, it took years for Andrian to successfully move on.

Andrian was about to walk towards the warehouse. His steps stopped seeing the sliding door of Retha's room slightly open. Andrian looked back, then walked back.

"I'm sorry Mas. I don't really want to see them either. But I can't say it now. Tomorrow, I'll give you that decision."

Working hours also took place so quickly, now at 17:00 WIB. Andrian passed right in front of Retha's room, as Retha opened the door. Andrian smiled at him. It looks like a forced smile.

"Wanna go home with Tha?" bargain Andrian

Rethah was silent for a moment.

Retha. "I'm with Bian."

Andrian again exhaled rough breathing and walked to his car.

"That! How to go in front of the door! I also want to pass" Lusi protested

"Eh, yes Ma'am. Sorry." reply Retha walked out.

"Well, is Andrian coming home alone? Tumben you're not with Tha?" lusi said as soon as he realized Andrian's car had gone

"I'm together with you, ma'am. There is an event because hehehe ", said Retha

"Owh, that's it! If you want to get married, you can't meet often. Kan must be pingit so that the kangennya stack." as well as Lusi while turning on the motor

Retha just smiled slightly in response to Lusi.

"I go home first Tha." said Lusi

"Yes Ma'am." retorted Retha

Shortly thereafter, Bian's motor was stopped outside the fence. Rethas rushed to him.

"Retha's the same guy again! Can't be let out of this." muttered the new Son out of the barn.

Retha wears a helmet that Bian thrusts. All of a sudden..

"Heh Tha! You don't know yourself, it turns out! I want to marry, still have time to relate with other men." hitrak Putra

Reth closed his eyes for a moment. For the second time a painful sentence sounded in his ear. After Rahma had cursed him yesterday, today a sharp rebuke came from the mouth of the Son.

"You want Lu what? Don't interfere!" bian said from the top of his bike

"Retha wants to marry my boss. Andrian is like my own brother! So it's only natural that I interfere in this!" son's Reply

Bian got off his bike and approached Putra.

"What did Lu get from Andrian? So far, Lu has taken him by the side!" ledek Bian's

"Br*ngs*k!" putra Umpat. A fist was aimed at Bian's face. But swiftly, Bian held her back.

"Lu is as weak as that boss Lu!" he threw back the Son's fist

"Enough!" said Retha mediates them. Petrified, since the return of Bian the quarrel always surrounded him.

"Sound one thing Tha. Regrets are always behind. And when that happens, don't expect anyone to help you again!" putra leaves Retha

Retha swallowed his saliva. Trying to hold back her crying so as not to come out. If he were to cry now then everything he did would be in vain.

"Come on Tha, the boy's talk. No need to be horrified." said Bian while pulling Retha's hand

Rethah went up to Bian's bike. Along the way, Retha was silent. Thinking everything. The decision he made seemed to make everyone hate him. Even the people closest to him seemed to defend Andrian. Retha was barely able to hold everything. Retha took her breath back and tried to shift her mind.

Arriving in front of the house. Retha returns the red helmet to Bian. Aunt Lita looked at him with a dislike look.

"Why did you come home with him?" ask aunt Lita

"That's aunty, me." said Retha could not explain.

"Why do you accept Nak Andrian's proposal, if the end is like this? Aunt knows from Rahma. He's Bian, right? The guy you like first?" said aunt Lita

"Yes tan." Retha said

"Aunty is disappointed with you Tha." said Aunt Lita into the house.

Retha's tears are in the veneer. He looked up to prevent the tears from falling.

"Tha, I know it's hard for you. My presence creates a lot of trouble in Lu's life!" bian said while holding Retha's hand.

"Gue promised I'd help Lu lewatin this whole thing. I will not leave Lu Tha again." said Bian

Retha smiled thinly. The sentence was so beautiful to sound, yet not in Retha's ears. Retha took off Bian's hand.

"I'm going in first!" retha

"Yes Tha. I'll see you tomorrow." said Bian turned the bike back on.

Retha stared blankly at Bian's back. He walked towards the door. Take a breath, prepare yourself if the tant will scold him again.

Chequek..

Aunt Lita sat on the sofa with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Tante.." call Retha

Aunt Lita just kept quiet. Not responding to his call at all. Retha ran into her room and locked the door. Cry broke. Retha blew everything behind that door. Be ill.. His heart really hurt. Rethah sat on the floor. I mourn every word of those people. Yes, Rahma was right, Retha was a loser. Who has sacrificed the feelings of so many people just for the sake of his selfishness. Without daring to admit the truth.

"Tonight I won't hold it anymore. Let me blow it. Just tonight. Tomorrow, I promise I'll be stronger than this. I will make a decision on all the ambiguities that I have created myself. I can't keep going like this."
