But when Umi asked for help, to bring groceries from the car into the house. Ken refused. "Why did not Umi see Ken's position? Ken wants to go with Jessie, Mi. You can ask Sena for help, right?" Her mother immediately became silent. He never thought that Ken would behave like that. So far, Ken has been an obedient and understanding child, always willing to help, even under any circumstances. Sad, but not shown by Umi. Because Ken had already left with Jessie.

While on the way, Jessie asked, "Why are you like that, to your Umi?" Ken, with a tired look on his face, replied, "I'm tired Jess, I have got a lot thing on my mind. I'm tired of being told with my Umi. Meanwhile, there is my sister who does not do anything, but I always to be the right hand." "Oh my gosh, no wonder you rebelled. Do not go on and on Ken, it's okay to get angry once in a while." Jessie said. According to him, Jessie is one of the best friends who can understand him.

They arrived at the night club. At first  Ken was hesitant to go in. But because Jessie comforted and persuade him, Ken finally set foot in the club. The sparkling lights and cigarette smoke that filled the room made Ken's head hurt. "Here, let you relax." "No, Jess, thank you." Reject Ken gently. "So that you forget about your problems, and you do not get tense, life must be enjoyed, Ken." Oh well, thought Ken. It did not feel like he had drunk two bottles of alcohol.

Apparently there is Virzha. He was dancing on the dance floor. Jessie, who did not want to waste the moment, immediately pulled Ken to dance with Virzha. Time passed, and Ken, who was drunk, finally kissed Virzha, saying that he had liked him for 4 years. Dozens of cameras took pictures of that moment, including Jessie. Virzha, who was surprised, immediately pushed Ken's body. "Shit! What are you doing, Ken!" Not long after, Jessie immediately pulled Ken's body, and set him outside. Because she was afraid things would get more chaos.

At two o'clock in the morning, when he got home, Umi and Abi immediately opened the door for Ken. They faithfully waited for Ken in the living room. His handphone was dead, making him unable to be contacted by Umi. While apologizing, Jessie explained everything to Abi. He said that Ken himself wanted to taste alcohol. And Abi, believe Jessie's words. 

Saturday morning. Ken's waking up, felt so dizzy. Abi and Umi were already sitting in front of Ken's bed. Ready to ask for an explanation. Ken explained that it was all mistake, he never wanted to drink. He was invited by Jessie. But, from what Abi said, was the opposite. That Jessie said, Ken was the one who wanted to try the drink. Ken immediately burst into tears, his emotions welling up. He did not think that the friend he trusted all this time, the friend he considered as bestfriend, was a traitor. Chaos was unavoidable in Ken's room that morning.

But the climax is, when Abi shows a video. Which he got from one of Ken's friends. The video that showing Ken kissing a man. Abi immediately slapped Ken. Abi berates Ken. If Umi was not there, Ken would probably have been battered and bruised. Umi, who was sobbing, kept calming Abi, who was also crying. Ken's clothes and bag were taken. Abi dragged Ken out, and said, "Do not come back, until you repent, ask God's forgiveness, and change yourself."

This was the lowest point in Ken's life. When all his fears come true. When all things fall to pieces. Including himself. Ken did not know where to go, he had no destination, he had no friends. Ken was already thinking that tonight, he was sleeping in front of the shop or the Mosque. Until, an incoming call from Kina. With all the hot news going on, Kina is worried for Ken. "Hello? ken? Are you all right?" Ken's sobs broke down immediately. He expressed all his feelings. "Please Kin. Help me."

Ken sat on the porch of Kina's house, sipping hot chocolate. Thinking that life turns out to be this tough. Kina, who came with fried rice, stroked Ken's shoulder, telling him to eat. "Thank you very much Kin, if you were not there, I do not know what would have happened to me." "Eat first. If you are getting better , and you want to tell me. I'm right here, Ken." Ken gave a warm, sincere smile to Kina.

When Ken felt that he was ready to tell what happened this morning. He spilled everything to Kina. He was sorry, with everything that happened. "I never thought something like this would happen, Kin. I do not know what happen next. I do not know what to do." Ken only thought of his Umi. The person he loves the most. The person he wanted to please the most. "That Friday, I should have listened to what you said. I should be able to get closer to God. I should be able to get rid of my ego, which actually plunged me into this black hole. I want to repent, Kin. Please help me." Ken added. She did not notice that the tears were already flowing down her cheeks. He hugged Ken, who was also crying. "Tomorrow, we go to the psychologist, okay? I have good acquaintances." "OK." Ken replied with a calmer feeling. "But now, let's take ablution first. Asr prayer."

In his prayers, Ken complained to Allah. He begged, apologized, and asked for forgiveness for what he had done. Also, he asked for help, for himself to get back on the right path.
