Alby "He's mine"

15. Raining

Monday was different, cloudy as if covering the entire surface of the sky. Reynand promised that she would pick up Kaila this morning. At six-four-five, Kaila wasn't ready either. Reynand had been waiting for him for more than ten minutes.

Before long, Kaila came out of her house and approached Reynand. "Come on."

"It's so long ago." Complain Reynand.

"Relgan." Elak Kaila's.

Not wanting any debate between the two, Reynand chose silence. They immediately left for school before the gate was closed. Today was supposed to be a ceremony, but if the rain was definitely canceled.

"Germist at all?" Kaila asked, a little loud for Reynand to hear it. The wind on the highway and the noise of the vehicle made them unable to chat as usual.

"Yes a little bit, will you stop?"

"Further down, if you add deres stop." Shouted Kaila.

They continued their journey until they reached the red light, now it has changed rain. Once confused, Kaila and Reynand finally took shelter in front of a store that had not yet opened. The rain grew heavy until finally at seven they could not continue the journey.

"It's seven o'clock more, but it's still raining." Kaila.

"Yes, would you like a homeroom chat?" Ask Reynand.

"You need to, I'm going to school." Kaila replied, Unlike usual, she felt lazy to go to school.

"Once in a while, right?" Kaila's argument seems to have been well-respected by Reynand, who decided not to tell anyone.

They sat in front of the store in warm conversation, waiting for the rain to subside and there was no plan where they would go after this. This conversation will certainly always be remembered by both of them, will always remember that they once took shelter in front of a store that was still closed and chose to skip school.

"Now still afraid of being locked in the car alone?" Ask Reynand.

"Well, I'm rich in phobias, you know?"

"Sometimes I'm also confused about what makes me afraid, because it feels so wary." Reveal Kaila, making Reynand chuckle softly. Reynand notices Kaila really when laughing freely, she feels successfully happy Kaila and pulls her cheerful back from her family problems.

"Why do you see me, I must be beautiful right?" Kaila asked as she felt cared for by Reynand.

"That's pretty, but you're pretty." Praise Reynand.

"But it's still Dara, right?" Kaila asked, making Reynand feel shocked because of the strange question, He could barely answer.

"What's so bandingin' bandingin." Kaila was amazed by Reynand's response to his question, He did not expect that Reynand was not a figure who likes to compare someone with others.

Kaila opened her phone screen, the clock was eight and thirty but the rain had not stopped. Before long the shopkeeper came to open his shop. The store opened and made them know it was a grocery store.

"We've been here for almost two hours, but it hasn't stopped." Reynand.

"Yes, I don't know where this guy is going either." Sahut Kaila while opening his whatsapp full of questions from his friends.

"Brail, huh Mas?" Asked the shopkeeper, He approached and sat down beside Reynand.

"Yes Mas, from earlier it has not subsided. I'm in a late hunt, so what else." Reynand said, with his distinctive smile on the people.

Kaila's phone rang, indicating a phone was coming in. His phone calls from Fifi, asking what happened to him to the point that he didn't go to school. "Fifi is using all the phones." Complain Kaila.

"This is your boyfriend?" Ask the shop owner again.

"Not Mas, my friend." Reynand replied, Kaila looked quickly. They made sure they were just friends. Reynand looked at Kaila who suddenly looked up, She frowned not understanding.

"Why?" Ask Reynand.

Kaila broke her daydream, She smiled at Reynand. "That's Fifi from earlier phone."

"Have a hand." Reynand.

"That's right, I'm having the same business as a kid. Ask it can be maghrib."

"Mas, go get a drink. Just like going to the toilet." Reynand said, so that the store entered the buyer. He felt sorry, especially rain conditions like this would rarely be people who shop.

"Yes, come on, Mas." Invite the shop owner in a friendly manner.

"Nitip mobile phone yes." Reynand said, then put her phone near Kaila. Kaila nodded, He took the ponsrl and grasped it.

Reynand and the shopkeeper entered, Kaila felt lonely despite the seemingly crowded rain. I opened Instagram and watched some videos. Shortly after, Kaila hears a cell phone ringing. Not from his phone, but from Reynand's cell phone he was holding. Kaila quickly saw who the caller was.

"Become." Say it while reading the name listed on the phone screen.

Kaila looked around while thinking what she should do, if she jawah Dara would think strange things. If it's not answered, he's afraid something's important. Kaila decides not to pick up the phone, and instead waits for Reynand to pick up the phone.

"Drink." Reynand gave Kaila a bottle of water.

"There should be a call from Dara." Kaila.

"Lo lift?"

"Well, he'll be jealous."

Reynand did not expect that there was someone like Kaila, who was very appreciative of the feelings of others. This makes Reynand feel at home and amazed by Kaila. Kaila greatly minimizes speech and actions that can make the interlocutor hurt. Reynand smiled.

"Gue call Dara first yeah." Pamit Reynand, he's staying away from Kaila.

Kaila looked at Reynand's back, looking at her nodding head with a smile.

"Neither, now shady on the side of the road." Reynand said to Dara.

"It must be good fried rice, I want to." Said again.

After a few minutes, Reynand sat down next to Kaila. Kaila, who had been daydreaming while looking at Reynand's back, now broke her daydream and looked the other way. Her fake smile was painted welcoming Reynand's arrival.

"Where's the rain going to stop, then?" Ask Reynand.

"Where is it? The mall?"

"Okay, yeah yuk." Take Reynand.

Reynand walked into the store, saying goodbye to the store owner and thanking him for his excellent service. They immediately went to the nearest mall, there was no destination whatsoever. But if they see a good item they might buy it.

The sun slowly appeared after the rain, until it created a very beautiful rainbow. In the middle of Jakarta, the rainbow witnessed the journey between Kaila and Reynand. The more they go, the more memories they have in their memories.

"Eh, there's a rainbow." Said Kaila hysterically, her face looks funny. It was as adorable as a child who had just seen a rainbow, that cheerful face that Reynand longed for from Kaila. Some events made him unable to be this happy, circumstances demanded him to remain silent in a bad heart condition.

"Yes, beautiful kaya—" Reynand's words were cut by Kaila.

"Become." Ceplos Kaila is somehow what Reynand was supposed to say, but before Kaila feels sad it is better for her to reveal. After that, Reynand seemed silent and said nothing more. While Kaila, smiling again happy to see the rainbow.

Arriving at the mall, they entered and took a walk. The mall remains crowded even though it is not a holiday, unlike the usual which there are only a few visitors. "Tumben rame." Reynand.

They walk equally and harmoniously without joining hands, the status of a nobody makes them reluctant to hold hands.

"Look at hoodie yuk." Take Kaila, pointing at the hoodies hanging neatly.

"Yes." Yeah." They approached the hoodies, feeling attracted by the colors. Kaila picked up a gray hoodie.

"Gue wants this." Said Kaila, then he walked towards the cashier.

Kaila never wanted to if Reynand practiced it, she would rather pay for it herself. Neither food nor goods.

After that they walked again, the interesting thing in Reynand's eyes was the black t-shirt. The brand was used to wear, because it was comfortable to wear even though the price was expensive. He just found out if there are their latest collections. "Kesana yuk." Take Reynand.

Kaila nodded with a smile.

Reynand looked for a suitable shirt for himself, followed by Kaila who also looked around some of the shirts. Reynand holds a black shirt with a decoration on the left chest, he does not like t-shirts with a large decoration on the back or in the front. Kaila found the same t-shirt, he also liked t-shirts that only had one decoration. "Is this good?" Ask Kaila to Reynand.

Reynand looked up while still holding the t-shirt. "Eh same, good, simple." Reynand.

Reynand took the T-shirt out of Kaila's hand, looked at it again and was eventually bought. After shopping, Kaila and Reynand go to the cafe in the mall. The cafe is quite large and crowded with visitors. They sat down after ordering some food.

"Cape is also around the mall, it's not like we've been here two hours." Kaila.

Kaila opened her phone, saw some messages from her friends.

"Yes, this Abis going home?" Ask Reynand.

"Don't be, the cave will be moored."

Reynand looked around while thinking where they were going. "What about Kang Dodit's shop?"

"The Dodit?" Ask Kaila.

"Yes, that time I took you there abis from the building." Answer Reynand.

"Oh that, yes, gapapa."

At one o'clock five minutes they started walking towards the Kang Dodit stall, only this tenpat they could visit. After school, Reynand's friends come to Kang Dodit's shop.

"Jiang Kang." Sapa Reynand after getting off the bike.

"Eh Rey, kunaon ari last night you were hanging out?" Kang Dodit asked still with his Sundanese accent.

"At their penitentiary tea yesterday was called BK."

Reynand stepped towards the place she used to sit, followed by Kaila who stepped behind her. Kaila smiled at Kang Dodit, showing his manners to older people. Kang Dodit returned Kaila's smile and invited her to sit down.

"Coffee one is Kang." Reynand.

"Ready." Kang Dodit said from inside the shop.

Kaila sat in a different chair to Reynand, to the right of Reynand. They were both silent, there was no talk because they were busy with their phones. Kaila looked around with fresh air and many shady trees. The alley to Kang Dodit's stall wasn't small, nor was it too big. What he likes is the cool and calm atmosphere, the breeze and the cool air he rarely felt in the middle of the city in fact can be felt in the shop Kang Dodit.

"Definitely lo ga ordinary le rich gini place huh? Usually hang out at the cafe." Guess Reynand, which is actually wrong.

"She's usually at the cafe, but I prefer it here. I remember Semarang, I haven't been home." Kaila.

"This is even though the place is ordinary, but cool because there are still many trees." Reynand.

Soon Kang Dodit came to bring Reynand's coffee. "This is Rey's new boyfriend?" Ask Kang Dodit.

Reynand smiled at Kaila, already several times this question was thrown at the two. And that was Kaila's wish, but there was actually a more special person in Reynand's heart. "Not Kang, just a friend." Answer Reynand.

"He'll soon be a girlfriend too." Said Kang Dodit.

"Where or Kang, how would He want to be with me." Elak Reynand's.

"He wants to, doesn't he Neng? Da Reynand is handsome, smart, dashing. Who wouldn't want to?"

Kaila did not join the conversation, she only showed a fake smile for the umpteenth time. These few days He had just felt how sad it was to wear a mask so that others would not know what He was really feeling.

"Udah ah Kang, this is his son." Reynand. Kang Dodit returns to the stall, leaving Reynand and Kaila behind.

"The kids will be here soon." Reynand said after seeing the clock had shown two and three o'clock.

"The shameful cave."

"Who's the same? All school friends."

"But there's Maul's sister and Dito's sister." Kaila.

"Father, it's normal to be with them."

Sure enough, just a few minutes of Maul, Dito, and Bimo came with their bikes. Actually, these tongkrongan not only for them, but also other children.

"Lo unplug?" Ask Maul.

"Evertime." Answer Reynand.

"Mampus you were asked by the teacher many times." Bimo said, He knows that teachers are looking for Reynand because they are in a class. Reynand is notoriously smart, it feels weird if he can skip school.

"Udah unplug, rhyme the girls again lo." Ketus Dito's.

The three children sit around Reynand and Kaila, Kaila was scared but she believed in Reynand. I don't know what makes him always believe in Reynand, never think strange about Reynand.

"It was raining this morning, so I was angry. I'm the same with him from the morning." Reynand.

"Gue with Maul want to play the game first, you chat with Dito and Bimo ya." Reynand's message, although Kaila actually felt awkward but he agreed.

Kaila did not dare to open the conversation among the three people, while Reynand and Maul were hysterical because of the game.

"Where are you going?" Ask Bimo.

"My dream is on ITB, but I'll see. Where are you going Bim?"

"The cave is still confused, Kak, actually peing in the UI but yes heavy." Answer Bimo. Kaila was just listening to the chatter of the two, listening really.

"Want to be on the UI too?" Maul asked Kaila.

"The driver is Sis."

Until half-four, Kaila and Reynand go home. Actually, Kaila has started to get along with Reynand's friends, not in the hope that their chat is connected. Kaila was still chatting, but Reynand invited her home because it was late afternoon.
