Chapter 3

A week after the incident, Dinda always avoided Agus. He left work early and returned home before Agus arrived. Even Dinda no longer eats the breakfast that Agus used to prepare for her. Agus is even more curious about the change in Dinda's attitude. Dinda who is always loyal to waiting for her return and Dinda who loves her cooking very much.

That night, after get off work, Agus decided to buy Dinda's favorite martabak. Martabak chocolate filled with nuts.

"Dinda!" Agus knocked on the door of Dinda's room, which was already closed.

Silence! There was no response.

"Are you asleep?" said Agus still not getting an answer from Dinda's room.

"Dinda!" Agus repeated his call followed by a knock on the door.

"Why?" Dinda opened the door to her room

"I bought you a sweet martabak just now!" Agus shook the plastic bag on his stairs.

"No! thank you!" replied Dinda and closed the door to her room.

For a moment Dinda opened the door to her room again. She took a plastic bag containing martabak from Agus's hand. Then entered the room quickly and closed it again.

"Din, did you look for me yesterday in the office?" said Agus, who was still standing outside the door of the room.

"The security guard said if there is a petite woman looking for me. Is it you?" said Agus again.

"I don't know!" replied Dinda quickly from inside the room.

"Well!" replied Agus in a quiet tone.

Dinda was busy finishing the martabak brought by agus. A day of work made him forget to eat.

With a feeling of disappointment tears fell down Dinda's cheeks. She was devastated to remember the incident in the office at that time. How Agus was so spoiled like a woman in the man he was with.

POV AGUS

"Dad, I don't want to get married yet. Let me finish my career first. I'm not ready for the thing yet, dad!"

"By getting married people will know if you are not what you used to be. You are healed, you are a normal man," said Mr. Thomas emphasizedly.

"I need dad's time. Getting married is not easy. I am indeed a man anyway," Agus replied irritably.

"Father shame, Agus!" snapped Mr. Thomas. "They always say that the son of a religious figure turns out to be a sissy."

Agus just let out a long sigh. He hid his face deeper and deeper.

"Next month you should be ready to marry the chosen woman, Dad!" Mr. Thomas held up his index finger in front of Agus's face. Then left.

"Agus, be patient!" said the Woman who walked up to Agus.

"Yes, sis!" said Agus.

Agus put his body in the arms of Rani, a woman who is none other than sister Agus.

"Sister knows for himself if I can't possibly get married. I'm a girl Sis. even though my body is male." Agus cried.

"Be thankful, maybe this is the way for you back to your nature, Agus," rani said.

Agus pulled his tubu from Rani's arms. "But I can't possibly do it, sis. I don't like women," Agus retorted insistently.

"just try it. you don't know if you haven't tried it," rani said.

Agus is indeed different. He tends to be like a girl. Since childhood he liked to wear women's clothing even though Mr. Thomas and his wife would definitely be furious with him. But still, Agus will repeat it again. No matter Mr. Thomas would beat him. Only Rani can accept Agus's shortcomings. He will be the first to defend Agus when the other children insult Agus.

The news of Agus as a same-sex enthusiast, made Mr. Thomas urge Agus to get married immediately. He betrothed Agus to Dinda, the daughter of Mr. Handoko.

Agus's introduction to a man named Pram in an entertainment venue made him more free with his relationship. Agus has a romance with Pram, who has an abnormality like himself.

"Baby!" said Agus in a spoiled tone.

"Why baby?" Pram stroked the wigs Agus was wearing.

"Do you really love me?" asked Agus getting more and more spoiled.

"Of course I love you. Because you are everything for me," Pram retorted.

Agus pulled his body out of Pram's arms. "But, dad is going to marry me to someone!" Agus's voice sounded sluggish.

"I won't let you marry anyone!" Pram looked annoyed.

"I can't possibly fight him, baby!" Agus put on a haggard face.

Pram's face was inflamed, he threw his gaze in the other direction.

"Pram...!" Agus whined. Wiggling Pram's tanga wrist.

"Is it that easy that you're going to forget me?" said Pram. "Is that your reply?" he said with an annoyed face.

Agus was silent. He remembered the incident a few years ago when he was about to try to commit suicide. Out of desperation for his life. at that time Pram came to be Agus's helper and gave Agus life color. Until they sling like.

6:00 am

"Din!" Agus took on Dinda who had just come out of his room.

"You don't eat breakfast yet?" said Agus, who was sitting at the dining table.

"I'm going home to bandung!" replied Dinda shortly.

Agus immediately got up chasing Dinda who was almost at the door.

"Let go!" said Dinda trying to pull her hand away from Agus's gang.

"Don't go!" Agus held back.

"I want to see papa and Mama," dinda said. She walked away from Agus in the hallway of the apartment

"Damn it! Why are you so stubborn." Agus was upset and chased after Dinda.

"I think I'll be happy living with you. It turns out that I was wrong, you never appreciated me at all!" said Dinda after walking far enough.

"Dinda wait for me! I'm going," Agus shouted running after Dinda .

-- Leave Agus or you will die. ---

A message came in on Dinda's mobile phone. Stopped the footsteps of the girl standing in front of the elevator door.

"Why, Din?" asked Agus when he arrived beside Dinda. The woman's face was tense.
