Alby "He's mine"

11. Newman

It's getting late, Kaila hasn't woken up yet. It is only natural that He is tired not only physically but also the heart. His phone rang, indicating there was a phone. Dance that hears the phone ringing, then look for the source of the sound. He stopped right beside Kaila asleep.

"Mama." Ejanya when looking at the writing on the screen of Kaila's phone.

Slowly Ndari woke Kaila up, maybe it was an important phone. Moreover, the day is getting late for sure his parents are worried about Kaila. "Kai. Wake up, honey, there's a phone."

His eyes began to open, his life began to gather and see the circumstances around which he was not home. Kaila saw Dari, she also saw a phone.

"Hello Ma."

"Where are you? It's the night, haven't come home yet."

"Oh yeah, I'm at Auntie Ndari's house."

"Oh there, now go home."

"Yes Mah, this is coming home."

"Yes be careful."

"Yes Mah."

Kaila put down her phone after her phone disconnected, She smiled looking at the person in front of her at this moment. "Aunty's home?" Ask.

"Yes, Auntie, look at you sleeping, but Auntie doesn't have the heart to wake up." Ndari said, He put Kaila's hair behind his ears.

Kaila dyed, looking for something that seemed to be missing. "That's a big piece of Tan, where's Reynand?"

"Again buy sugar in the minimarket ahead."

Kaila nodded in understanding, her body returning refreshed after falling asleep for a few hours. He moved his neck right and left until it rang. He then cleaned his bag, intending to leave the house.

"Tan, Kaila wants to go home. Last night, Kaila was in Mama's search." Pamit Kaila holds her bag. Ndari's hand blocked Kaila's wrist slowly, preventing her from going home.

"Wait a minute, Rey, she won't take long. Last night, Aunt was afraid that anything would happen to you." Ndari's message, then Kaila nodded in obedience. The two talked warmly as usual until soon Reynand came home.

Reynand walked slowly while carrying a package that was none other than his mother's order. He was a little surprised after seeing Kaila sitting with his mother.

"Anterin Kaila's coming home to Rey." Ndari.

"Okay, will you now Kai?"

"Yes, yuk. I say good Tan, thank you." Pamit Kaila again, he kissed the back of Ndari's hand and smiled happily.

"Yes, I anterin Kaila go home first Ma."

"Yes, be careful."

Kaila and Reynand go hand in hand, they both walk towards the garage without any chatter, Kaila's life has not been fully accumulated. Now Kaila's feelings are mixed, between unpleasant, sad, mixed with pleasure. It's not good to always spoil Reynand, sad because it happened this afternoon, and happy because there is someone who understands him.

"Take the car, it's late." Reynand.

Kaila nodded, they got into the car and immediately walked home. Reynand notices Kaila sometimes, He feels something different about his friend. Unlike usual who was chatty and cheerful, tonight Kaila became a quiet figure. "Why lo? Any more problems?"

Kaila was silent for a moment, looking at Reynand who was with his attention while driving. "Gua-gua is not good with you and your family."

"Why?" Ask Reynand.

"Gue ngerepotin lo continue, if the cave is beside you must always make the cave bother." Said Kaila, his head lowered.

Reynand stopped her car by the roadside, and she looked back at Kaila. A look full of pity at the figure who was now in front of him. Slowly, Reynand's right hand rattled Kaila's hair, which was still down. It makes Kaila straighten her head, and Reynand hugs Kaila warmly. Both hands stroked Kaila's back, becoming a reinforcement among the calamities that Kaila was facing. Truly powerless, Kaila held back his sobs because he was not strong on his problems. But now He is trying to prevent his tears from falling, trying to be stronger than usual.

"Father, your problems must be running low." Reynand.

After that, Reynand drove the car again. Continuing the journey to the house Kaila who was not far from his position stopped. Arriving at Kaila's house, Reynand stops his car. Kaila stroked Reynand's left arm, as if to thank him.

"Thank you for today."

Reynand nodded, She looked for the topic so that Kaila would not return sad. "Oh yeah, you know the mas-mas that photographed us in the building?"

Kaila nodded vigorously, "Why?"

"He's a photographer, he posts our photos on ig." Reynand.

"Haha, what's your name?"

"Yes, thankfully no one knows. Good thing he doesn't bother us haha."

The two laughed, Reynand saw Kaila laughing happily. "Here you go home, really do it if you sleep in the cave house. Want to sleep in a cave house? You married it the same cave."

"What the hell, the cave's back. Long time you digress."

Kaila gets out of Reynand's car, Reynand still smiles because of Kaila. Before long, he left the courtyard of Kaila's house.

•••

Reynand stepped quickly from the parking lot to her class, while walking her gaze was fixed on her brother who was walking also in front of the classroom corridor. Amelia looked the same, carrying a pink fan that she really liked. Two friends who followed behind also spread the charm in front of the children. The bad habits of Amelia have been ingrained since Junior High, from here He began to treat people at will because of lack of parental upbringing.

"Ouch!" The grin of a woman who hit Reynand by accident. It is only natural that they collide, because the position is now at the crossroad. Moreover, Reynand who daydreamed, and his eyes that went nowhere.

The woman looked at Reynand's face, noticed every curve of her face and judged that the man in front of her was handsome. His eyes shifted to the lower left until he found the name on his shirt, 'Zikri Alby Reynand' his taunt in heart.

Reynand frowned, feeling strange when he saw a new figure watching him from end to bottom. His right eyebrow rose, making Reynand's gaze even more cynical. It is not wrong if someone who has just met himself feels upset, because of his treatment.

"Sister Alby!" The hysterical woman was without any questions before. Reynand was a bit surprised when the woman said her name, before she had not known the woman, her face was foreign.

"It's Dara Kak, my brother's complex friend." Reveal Dara, while smiling with excitement because he met his past friends.

Reynand's brain as if spinning open the memories in his past until finding a small woman who was in his Elementary era. His right hand seemed to raise to Dara's face while remembering her back. "Oh yes Dara."

"Schooler's here too?" Ask Dara.

Reynand nodded and smiled, her eyes looking at Dara from top to bottom. Seeing the little girl he used to save from his mischievous friends. I did not expect that the time as quickly as it had passed.

"I'll excuse you to class, sister" Pamit Dara, she started to step opposite Reynand. Two steps Dara left, Reynand turned around and called out to her. "Dar."

Dara looked and raised both eyebrows as if asking. Reynand smiled, looking cunning and cool of course. "The bigger you are the more beautiful." He said, consciously after seeing the drastic change from Dara.

Dara smiled, "Sister too."

"Also what?" Ask Reynand.

Reynand also continued his steps towards class, his brain seemed to be filled with Dara's face which he thought was funny. She's sweet, pretty, and makes Reynand fat.

"Why Rey?" Bimo asked, Bimo was a bit scared when faced with Reynand.

"There's a pretty girl, a little sister again." Reynand.

"Amelia is the same new girl who wants you to be safe?" Maul asked who suddenly appeared from behind Reynand. His right hand patted Reynand's shoulder a little hard.

"Kalo want to ngegegebet one time, yes three-three times want to load. I won't get it." This time Dito spoke, he sat in front of Reynand's bench.

"Gue didn't say Amel's name was Kaila Woy, but this one of his wealth wanted me to be hot." Reynand.

Dito and Maul smiled obliquely at the words of his friend, "Emang crocodile from birth." Maul.

After about fifteen minutes they chatted on the same topic, the entrance bell rang. Maul and Dito returned to their classroom, Bimo and Reynand sitting in their seats. "Bim, pull yuk." Take Reynand.

"That's Rey, today's chemistry lesson."

"There's a cave, let's pull it out." Take Reynand again. Finally Bimo agreed, they began to rise from his seat.

"So anyone asks where the cave is, answer again in uks." Reynand said a little loudly so that the whole class heard it.

Reynand and Bimo walked towards the canteen, his brain still the same filled with the shadows of Dara's face. He wanted to see her, but it seemed impossible. Bimo brought snacks he brought from home, his eating habits while walking have seeped into the bones.

"Eh, do you know Dara?" Reynand asked the two tenth-graders who were walking as well.

"Who's the new kid?"

"Yes, what class?" Ranya Reynand again.

"X IPA 2 feet." Say one of those women.

"okay." Without a word of thanks, Reynand stepped into the tenth grade of ipa dua. While thinking what is the right reason to invite Dara away from class. As if Bimo was unaware of where he was going, the snack he brought was hypnotic enough that he followed Reynand.

With enough preparation, Reynand knocked on Dara's classroom door. His heart beat hard enough, preparing to meet the teacher who is now teaching in Dara's classroom. "Lake in." Say someone from the class. Reynand and Bimo entered immediately, before Bimo put his snack in his pants pocket.

Reynand and Bimo were standing in front of the class, they had forgotten how they were now. "Why aren't you in your clothes? Let's go inside." Pinta Bu Estri, history teacher whose killer is not out of order.

They obeyed what Ms. Estri asked, with a long breath Reynand began to speak. "They're called picket teachers."

"Make what?" Ask Ms. Estri.

"I don't know much, ma'am, maybe it's a matter of uniforms." Answer Reynand. Dara's clothes are still different, still wearing her old school uniform.

"Yes, Dara can come out."

Reynand's burden seems lost, he's happy that his plan worked. Dara steps out with Reynand and Bimo after saying goodbye to Miss Estri. He didn't know it was just Reynand's wits.

"Dar, do you know the places in this school?" Ask Reynand.

"Not Brother." Answer Dara.

"Bim, let's get you some kantin." Reynand.

"Okay, success is." Bimo before He leaves.

"Yes, come to the cave." Take Reynand, Dara looked at Reynand in fear after hearing the word 'success' coming out of Bimo's mouth. His mind went everywhere, he felt uneasy because he was alone with Reynand.

"Where's Brother?"

"Walk around the school so you know. Don't be afraid, the cave won't fuck." Reynand said and made Dara believe him.

They started to walk through the back of the class so as not to get caught by the teacher. The silent atmosphere made them a little awkward, it was only natural that they had just met after such a long time. "When is school here?" Tanya Reynand opened the conversation.

"Two days ago, brother."

"Where do we live now?" Ask Reynand again.

"Near school, you can walk too. That you're still in the same house?"

"Yes, I don't want to move. So many memories there." Reynand. They walked in unison, stepping slowly without any haste.

"Om Aunt healthy?" Ask Dara.

"Nyokap healthy, Bokap just died two months ago." Reynand replied fixed on his flat tone. The answer had made Dara stop and look towards Reynand.

"Sorry, brother, I don't know." Dara.

The two continued walking until they finally stopped at the cafeteria, to just sit down and buy mineral water. The cafeteria seemed quiet, but several times there were shouts from children playing basketball. Bimo was already sitting while playing his phone, it seemed that he was already full and did not eat any more snacks. "So my sister said, I was called a teacher. Alby's sister lied?" Dara asked after recalling the reason Reynand had made. Reynand smiled at Dara's question, sounding funny. Dara is still the same as before, a plain girl.

"Yes, let me take you here." Answer Reynand.

Shortly after, Kaila and her friends walked into the cafeteria. They were wearing sports shirts, it seemed like it was indeed the voice of the Kaila class children. Kaila looked at Reynand, seeing that her best friend was sitting opposite an unknown woman. The uniform is different, he can already tell that the woman is a new child.

"Kai." Call Reynand to Kaila who is still glued.

Kaila approaches, she understands that Reynand asked her to come closer. "Why?"

"Know, Dara. My little friend." Reynand.

Kaila smiled, She stuck out her hand in front of Dara. Dara raised her hand so they shook hands. "Kaila." Kaila said introduce herself.

"Become."

"Lo tell him to pull it out?" Kaila asked in surprise as this was still the lesson hour.

"Yes." Yeah." Reynand chuckles.

"Lo crazy, so reckless."

Fifi and Dani approached, they invited Kaila to sit down. Quite tired after sports lessons, but still feel happy because it is not just glued to the book.

"Lo jealous?" Fifi asked, She saw Kaila's face was a bit upset after shaking hands with Dara.

"That's it, it's ordinary."

"Kok lo insist anyway, I'm just nanya." Reveal Fifi, He realized that actually Kaila was upset.

"Sorry to be beautiful." Kaila said with a fake smile.
