Reinna Ficlet

A plan made to string it into a ficlet.

Reinna and her family.

having a busy dad who sometimes forgets his kids.

- a busy mother takes care of her young youngest sister.

- brother who is busy with his achievements in various fields and popular.

- her sister's school in the school sd, smp, and high school, a favorite that was merged into one alma mater.

- Reinna did not pass the selection when the entrance test was and ended up with the school in the usual sd.

(The story begins at night when the family is having a meal together).

Conflicts

- they tell how great their firstborn son who won the race last afternoon. (Smart meticulous or another race? Still thought about)

they had a party and invited some of his father's co-workers. Today is Reinna's birthday. But no one remembers.

they even compared Reinna to her two sisters.

- at the peak they asked about the report and scolded him for being careless and forgot to put the report, even though he had handed it over and his father forgot to put. Reinna just doesn't want her father to be embarrassed in front of her co-workers.

her mother pulled Reinna upstairs and scolded her for embarrassing the family, then she was told to go to the room and sleep first.

Additional (if possible)

- some time later, his brother to the room and brought a gift parcel. She sang a birthday song to her sister.

Tonight is not a special night. Not for the Aindra family. They held a party for the success of her eldest daughter who had won the race and was selected to represent the province in the national championship.

However ...

Reinna sat down on one of the chairs, listening to every conversation Dad and his co-workers had after they had finished eating the meal. Surely the talk fulfilled the feat that Tania, their eldest daughter, had achieved.

At the age of fourteen, Tania has won various competitions with her talent. The girl seemed to be born with various advantages, making her parents put great expectations on her.

"Sir Aindra, when to buy a new closet?" One of his father's coworkers asked, glancing at two cupboards filled with trophies of various sizes.

"I still don't know, sir. Maybe soon."

Some people laughed softly, enjoying the light talk between them. Reinna's gaze was always staring in turn, looking at the happy-looking faces of her parents. Unaware, she smiled and felt happiness.

Then, the direction of the conversation changed. One of his father's co-workers turned his eyes to the family's second daughter. He closed his lips for a moment before opening his mouth.

"If Reinna had won any race?"

The look on his parents' faces instantly turned flat. The happy face that initially felt so warm, instantly froze. Reinna was silent, her face down.

"It looks like all her talents are fighting with Tania, sir."

The atmosphere again melted, they laughed at the sentence thrown by his mother in response.

Reinna had to smile, even though her heart was filled with envy. Envy because the rank one he had earned with great difficulty was not cared about. Because on her birthday, no one remembers her and her family only celebrates her brother's success.

"But yesterday said my son, Reinna ranked first, Mom. At school." One of them spoke up.

His parents looked at each other, then smiled as they turned their gazes at Reinna.

"Why didn't you say? Mama's not good with you."

Reinna simply smiled in response to her mother's words.

"Darling, try taking the report. Papa wants to see."

Hearing that sentence, Reinna fell silent.

****

A few days earlier, he had come home happy, taking his report home. Reinna could not wait to see the expressions of her parents. However, that day his family was busy preparing to take his brother to the race.

"Ma, Bc ... Reinna dapet–"

"Yes, yeah later. Shirt change, it's late." His father immediately took Reinna's report and immediately put it in the closet without seeing it first.

***

The girl still remembered with certainty that her father had kept her report. They all ignored him. They did not care at all, considering that he was just a parasite in the family.

Reinna wanted to scream, yell at them for their wrongdoings. The girl was fed up, her efforts were never worth anything in their eyes. However, if he did, his parents would be very embarrassed in the presence of his father's co-workers. He doesn't want that. All she wanted was the attention of her parents.

Then, looking down, Reinna said, "forget nyimpen, Ma. Tomorrow Reinna's looking."
