Between Love and Friendship
65

Slowly Ken opened his eyes. The atmosphere in Kinan's apartment looked deserted. Ken's trying to wake up. Ken saw that the wound had been stitched back. While holding the pain. Ken's out of the room.

" Ken's. Are you conscious?" Zara said happily when she saw Ken standing in the doorway of the room.

" Where's alfi?" Ask Ken.

" Sit down first." Zara helps Ken sit on the couch.

" Where's kinan?" Ask Ken again.

Zara sat down beside Ken and looked at him fixedly . " Alfi has already brought Kinan in the floor hall of LG. The apartment manager pointed it there." Zara.

Ken lowered. It turned out that what he was experiencing was real and not just a dream. Ken threw out his rough breath and raised his face again.

" I have to go there." Ken strengthened himself.

" Let me call Alfi." Zara.

" I'm alone." Say Ken and get up.

Zara was worried. Forced to help Ken and leave Arkan asleep briefly in the apartment.

I don't know why his chest came back this close to Ken. As much as possible, Zara ignored her feelings.

" You need to be patient and strong, Ken." Zara.

" I wish Kinan had never been the same. He must be fine." Ken Sesal. " I shouldn't be that hard on my head." Ken's tears fell again even though Ken had tried his best not to cry.

Arriving in the hall. It was full of mourners. From college friends to Ken and Kinan's relatives. Alfi as much as possible contacted everyone in Kinan's cell phone contact.

Ken walks slowly on Zara's papah towards Kinan's body. The one who saw Ken continued to look at him with a look of pity. Several times Ken took a deep breath to relieve the tightness that was in his chest.

" Why don't you call me first?!" Alfi and lamgsung replace Zara memapah Ken.

" Ken won't wait." Zara.

Ken stood glued to see Kinan's body covered in cloth and a white veil on his face. By saying basmalah and strengthening his heart. Ken opened the cover of Kinan's face. Kinan's face was clean and he looked smiling. Ken just silently stared without saying a word. His tongue feels ugly. Ken was only able to offer a prayer in his heart.

" You need to be strong, Ken." Sandra and Anton approach Ken. Ken just kept quiet. His ears were deaf as if his eyes were fixed on Kinan.

" We'll just wait for Kinan's father after that we can bury Kinan." Alphi explained to Ken.

One by one the mourners knew Ken and who knew his connection to Kinan. Come to Ken and try to cheer Ken up. Ken just thanked me without remembering who came and what they said.

*******

Kinan had been interred after his father's arrival. Caca was also seen attending Kinan's funeral escorted by police. Ken returns to his own apartment accompanied by his best friends. Ken was silent from then on. Alfi and Desta offered him no food at all.

" Ken's. Don't be so sorry." Alfie. " This is not your fault." Alfie.

" Yes Ken. Kinan is calm now. Ikhlasin Ken." Sahut Desta's.

Ken took a deep breath. " I still didn't expect it. That fast the poison works." Ken is full of regrets. " Kinan always refused to make inpatient. I want him healed. But he's..." Ken was unable to continue his words and only took a deep breath.

" Kinan has another reason maybe."

" Just this morning we discussed your relationship." The Sahut Zara comes from the kitchen with four cups of cappuccino on a tray and presents it to Ken, Desta, Alfi and to himself. " Kinan seems to have a hunch if the time is not long. He wants you to be happy, Ken. That's it," said Zara.

" Feed Ken."

" Males." Reject Ken and go into his bedroom. Making Alfi and Desta breathe. There's nothing they can do. Ken's not a man to be forced. Increasingly forced. He will be more reluctant to do so.

*******

A week after Kinan's departure. Ken went to the police station where Caca was being held. Ken decided to retract his report. Even if Caca is arrested. Will not return Kinan. Ken only hoped that Caca could get better.

Caca came to Ken with a bowed face and full of regret. Kinan's death took him a huge hit. Ken just stared at Caca flat.

" Ken." Caca's cry broke instantly.

" By crying won't bring Kinan back." Speak Ken in a cold tone.

" I'm really sorry Ken." Said Caca with a wailing cry.

Ken gave a faint smile. " Thank God you're sorry. Make this all a whip for you to get better." Ken Say.

" Nobody is that dear to me other than Kinan. While I was blinded to love until I could bear to bombard him." Caca's words were interspersed with her sobs.

" I'm just here to tell Elo. I've dropped all my reports and demands on Elo. I'm doing this all because of Kinan." Said Ken coldly.

Caca looked at Ken in disbelief.

" Many times Kinan always considered creating an elo-free. He can't bear to squirm you into a patient like this." Speak Ken with a choked voice. Kinan does have a harsh nature. But his heart is very soft.

Tears trickled back down Caca's cheeks hearing Ken's words.

" Lo know. The poison you love. Worked perfectly. I and Kinan cover up from all. Only me and Kinan know what you're doing!" Ken. " Kinan's heart stopped suddenly. It was estimated by the doctor. But I didn't think it would be that fast."

" Ken..."

" I don't need any explanation from you. Once you are free. You can continue your life and never look in front of me!" Ken said firmly and without permission to leave Caca glued.

*******

" Where are you?" Tanya Alfi who has arrived first at Ken's apartment. Alfi does hold one key of Ken's backup.

" The police station." Say Ken flat and just put his bag of car keys on the table.

Ken dropped himself just like that on the relaxing sofa and rubbed his face.

" What?"

" Remove the report." Answer Ken.

" WHAT?!!" Alfi and Zara who had indeed been silent since just now were shocked.

" Well stress? He's the one who made Kinan die!" Alfi protests are loud.

Ken smiled a smile. " This is Kinan's last request. And I think there's a point."

" sthat mean?" Zara doesn't understand.

" The best way to repay evil is to do good." Ken replied with a much calmer face. " Not having a grudge is the best choice of my life." Keep Ken back.
