Un - Break My Heart
6. Believe in Brother

That night, Reyhan decides to sit in the same chair that Shinta occupied, as he sees in the video he receives, he orders the same meal as the wife. Reyhan called the waiter.

"I want to order the same food as this woman, she was sitting here as well" Reyhan told the restaurant's waiter, pointing to Shinta's video at the waiter.

In his loneliness and solitude, Reyhan tries to enjoy the food in front of him.

"Did Shinta enjoy the food?" thought Reyhan.

She tries to contact Nayla, hoping that her cousin can give her a clue as to where his wife is staying, and she also wants to ask if Nayla told Shinta about Cindy? That's what he forgot, that Shinta had a lot of ears and eyes next to her. The surrounding people, all affectionate towards Shinta, especially her current closest brother Nayla, and Nayla knows all about Cindy, of course her wife will know who Cindy is.

It was not Nayla who answered her call, but Sandy Nayla's husband who was also her best friend. The world is vast, but he meets the same people or new people who are in touch with each other.

Whether by coincidence or indeed it is his destiny, he married Shinta who is the brother of Nayla, who is the wife of his best friend, then his former lover was unexpected to have a family relationship with Nayla.

In the middle of his conversation with Sandy, someone greeted him.

"Hey" Reyhan saw and it was Mitha his schoolmate.

The voice of the call across broke, Sandy ending their call. Mitha said many things, and that she was sure was very true.

"I think your wife knows about Cindy and she's waiting for an explanation from you. As a wife she wanted to believe in you, but still wanted honesty straight from you" Reyhan was silent at the time.

"Rey my order's ready, I'll go first. Just think again before looking for her" Mitha said goodbye and passed from Reyhan's presence.

Shinta's departure leaves Reyhan completely devastated, his days deserted. Fortunately, both of their mothers were on vacation abroad, so they did not understand what happened to their daughter's household.

On the fourth day of Shinta's departure, Mitha contacted her and invited her to meet.

"Rey, can we meet? there's something Leo wants to tell you. It's about Cindy and for the good of your household"

"Sure, I can" Reyhan replied.

Reyhan asks Mitha and Leo to come to the restaurant in his hotel, he sits opposite Mitha and Leo in the VIP room, Leo explaining a truth about Cindy, even Zein and Nayla did not know this truth and were deceived by the woman.

"Sorry just told you this time" Leo said

Reyhan remembers how he was angry and disappointed when Mitha and Leo showed evidence of Cindy's betrayal while away from him. He who had to continue his education abroad was forced to separate from Cindy and undergo a long-distance relationship. He is angry, Cindy makes him lose half his life, for losing Shinta. With his lies Cindy seeks sympathy from everyone, including sympathy from him.

"Stupid...really stupid" Reyhan replied after meeting Mitha and Leo.

One week passed, Reyhan could not find any trace of Shinta, every night he would come to the same restaurant until late, hoping his wife returned to eat there,. But his efforts were in vain.

Reyhan asks his two best friends, Sandy and Alex to meet and have lunch together. It was hard for him to keep to himself the truth that he knew, so he decided he would tell the two, who would definitely tell their wives, that way, he hoped to find Shinta.

"Is it still undiscovered?" alex asked as he saw Reyhan sitting in front of him. Reyhan shook his head answering Alex's question.

"What do you think is the problem?" now Sandy's asking, though she knows enough.

"Cindy" Reyhan replied straight to the point, without the need for him to cover up again.

"I didn't explain who Cindy was to Shinta, I think she was suspicious when she found me talking to Cindy at the front gate of Harley's residence in the Netherlands" Reyhan said.

"My attitude never changed to her, Shinta also seemed like there was no problem" Reyhan tried to explain.

"It must have been hard for him for a month to wait without explanation, so he left, giving you time to think" Sandy tried to refute Reyhan's explanation.

"How are you feeling now?" ask Sandy.

Reyhan was silent, then took a sip of the warm drink he ordered.

"I lost half my life" Reyhan replied.

When I met Cindy again, I had a desire to go back to her. A ridiculous desire that cannot be forgiven. Now I'm losing Shinta"

"Actually I don't want to talk about Cindy to Shinta, because I don't want her to get hurt. I don't want to clean up the wound of the affair for both. I thought it would be fine, but the fact that I hurt him, now I have to accept the punishment of losing the one I love. Losing Shinta was more painful than when I lost Cindy. It hurt a lot more" No one spoke again after Reyhan finished his expression.

Reyhan is about to start talking, to tell the truth about Cindy, but at the same time Sandy's phone rings, so she delays it.

"Shinta is now at my house, she has just arrived" Sandy conveyed what Nayla was talking about after receiving a call from her wife.

Reyhan's face immediately turned bright, there was a trace of hope when he knew the whereabouts of his wife. The goal is to talk Cindy's truth to her best friend she's put off, and she probably won't talk to anyone. Let it be a reference for him, if Shinta is everything to a Reyhan.

At a speed higher than average he broke through a fairly solid paved road because of this hour of rest and lunch. One week she searched and waited for a chance to talk and apologized to Shinta.

"Papa" Ilham's call awakens Reyhan from his past memories.

"Papa's darling" Reyhan immediately stood walking towards Ilham who also ran towards him. Imham quickly flew into the air, lifted Reyhan and swung him like a plane.

"Don't go high Pa" Shinta said.

Hearing his wife's warning, Reyhan lowered Ilham from the swing of his hand, then hugged his beloved son in his carry, kissing Ilham's entire face screaming in agility.

Shinta can only be a spectator for the father and son's familiarity, while taking out the food box she cooked, according to Reyhan's order this morning.

"Thank you dearly" Reyhan approached Shinta, after taking down the Inspiration from her carrier. He immediately hugged and kissed his wife's lips quickly.

"Bang" said Shinta who was shocked by what Reyhan did suddenly. Reyhan chuckled, instead of letting go of his embrace, he even went back to kissing Shinta's lips, without caring about their son's Inspiration there.

Reyhan needs Shinta to get his day back to light, after it gets bad because Cindy called him.

"Let's eat" Shinta asked after Reyhan let go of her kiss.

"One more time" Reyhan said.

"Pa.." No matter what Shinta wants to say, Reyhan again devoured his wife's lips, then kissed Shinta's entire face.

"I Love you. Whatever happens, please trust your brother. Who always loved you" Reyhan said after smelling his wife's whole face.
