Already passing magrib, but the rain did not stop, Toni was still sitting on the porch chair staring at the rush of rain in silence while reflecting cigarette smoke from his mouth.
"Reduce your cigarettes, not good for health, let alone you are a fighter, do you not know that cigarettes can make you die quickly ?!" oceh Raya who arrived approached Toni with a glass of hot tea and boiled cassava that still emits hot steam.
"Currently, there's no smoking ban for fighters like me, and dying is a matter of fate, people who don't smoke just die, right ?" replied Toni casually.
"My name is Raya !" Kingdom thrusting her hand, she felt she had not properly acquainted with Toni.
"I know !" toni replied, not intending to welcome Raya's hand.
"Ishh, I mean, we're not acquainted yet, what's your name ?" grunt Kingdom while pulling back her hand.
"People used to call me Lion !" toni replied snatching the cup containing the hot tea, her body slightly warmed from sticking the hot cup on both palms.
"Lion, Lionel or----?" Raya looks curious.
"People say I'm like a lion, a loner and can't be kicked out, so they call me Lion" Toni said.
"Your real name ?" Raya looks very curious.
"Toni !" answer's short.
"Okay, Toni, I'll call you Toni by name alone" Raya said with a sweet smile.
"You're probably the first person after my mother to call me by the name of Toni, you're also the first and only person who dares to ban me from smoking !" toni said with a slanted smile and shook her head slowly.
What a spoiled girl he had just met was so presumptuous and bold, no one had dared to forbid him from doing what he liked.
"I'm just reminding you, if you don't like it, I'm sorry !" said Raya did not feel guilty in the slightest, because according to her, what she said was true.
"The rain has not subsided, do we just go home, slowly seems to be able to," said Toni a little worried if the parents of the girl confused looking for her child.
"Upss, I forgot, you must be looking for Cila huh ?" great-granddaughter who seemed to have just realized that the man who had been with her since last night was the boyfriend of her friend.
"It's not like that, I mean, I'm afraid your parents are worried, because the girl hasn't come home yet" Toni straightened out that the reason for taking Raya home was not what the girl thought she was.
"Hahaha, boro boro is worried, my birthday alone no one is saying anything, they will never care, as long as I keep quiet, to them means my money is still there and I'm fine, my father thinks as long as I go, he's sure I'll look for it someday when my money runs out !" Raya laughs wryly with eyes that have glass.
"Ooo,," Toni's mouth rounded.
Just like that was Toni's response, as cute as it was while Raya had just told her story of the pill.
No sweet words can soothe her out of her mouth, let alone a warm hug and a swab on her back like most men do to soothe a woman who is grieving before her.
Toni and Raya are now sitting in the living room of the ancient house of her late mother's family, because outside the air feels very cold.
Somehow Raya felt so comfortable and calm when with Toni, even though they were more silent than exchanging stories.
Toni who seemed to be engrossed in cigarette smoke and busy with her own daydreaming who was somehow daydreaming.
While Raya chose to play games on her phone and occasionally peek at her social media account which was filled with photos of her who was showing off luxury goods or was on vacation abroad.
Silent with her phone Raya took a picture of Toni sitting pensively staring at the rain outside the wide glass window to her left.
He saw a picture of Toni on the screen of his phone, occasionally his lips smiled faintly as he looked at the face of an ice-cold man with a flat face without expression and arrogance, but it all seemed to be a magnet itself that made him interested in the personality of the man before him, Raya seemed to momentarily forget Martin the fiancee, who was, also Cila who he knew was the lover of the man judes and fierce.
"It looks like the rain has subsided enough, let's go home !" invite Toni to break the Raya daydream.
"Ah, yes, but it's almost 10 p.m., isn't it dangerous ?" raya said as if not willing to end her friendship with the man.
"Hobbies fight, really !" great-granddaughter is shriveled, but still heard clearly by Toni.
"It's not a hobby, it's my job, don't eat, I !" seloroh Toni while moving away from that place.

"Some bye, huh ?" tanya Raya, when the car in her side stopped in front of the gate of her house that was tightly closed.
Maman housekeeper who had since noticed his employer's car stopped but did not enter, immediately approached the car Kingdom, and knocked on the window glass.
"Sorry non Ray-" Maman's remarks came to a halt when he found the man sitting behind the wheel of his employer's car a handsome but frightening stranger.
"Open the gate, I'm going in !" tell Raya to let Maman go immediately.
Maman passed by with a million questions in his mind, who was the man who was with her, he had to report to Karina immediately.
"Come in, I have ordered the online motorcycle taxi earlier, well that, it seems to have reached the motorcycle !" point Toni towards someone sitting on a motorcycle with his green jacket.
"Okay, thanks !"jama Raya, said,
"Thank you, for ?" Toni pulled back her legs that were almost down to the ground and turned to look at the face of Raya who was staring at her.
For a while their views locked onto each other, but Raya instantly came to a realization.
"Thank you for being the first and only person to wish me a happy birthday" said Raya, smiling sweetly as she waved her farewell hand.
There was no answer from Toni's lips that remained tightly closed, there was not even a reply to a wave of hands as well, the man turned back and got out of the car just like that.
Raya moves into the passenger seat, and enters the house after Toni's back disappears from her sight.
Raya settles into the house, having previously threatened Maman not to tell anyone about what he just saw.
But it seems like Raya was wrong, because a minute later Maman immediately contacted Karina and told her what had just happened in the house as usual.
Karina who was staying at Martin's apartment was very curious, who was the man who was with Raya that Maman had just told her about.
Early in the morning Karina arrived home,
"Hi dear, how is your holiday in Bali, is it fun ?" Arsan welcomed his wife who had just arrived home on vacation with her social friends.
"Of course it's fun, baby me !" Karina hugs her husband, loving,
"Where is it, baby ? Maman said he's home ?" tanya Karina impliedly said that Raya did not go home.
"Did the boy come home in the morning ? Or not go home ?" arsan's face turned tense.
"Don't be angry, baby. There's something I want to tell you about Raya, but you need to calm down first" Karina stroked her husband's chest softly and told him not to be emotional.
"What else did the boy do,?" arsan Ketus
"Raya did not come home for two days, Maman said, in the early hours of this day, Raya was brought home by a man, and somehow it was.Try you think, how about until Martin knew, how about Martin, Raya already has a fiancee, it is not appropriate for her to hang around with an asibg man for days," Karina said deliberately heated Arsan's heart so that the middle-aged man's emotions boomed.
It was not without reason that Karina did so, as hard as she could, that Karina should still unite Raya with Martin, for the inheritance she would later seize after they were married, and enjoyed by himself and Martin of course.
If Raya comes into contact with another man, it means she will lose the great asset of her only heir Arsan Lubis, so she will do anything for the sake of Raya uniting with Martin, and the plan went well.
"Bi, call Raya here right now !" tell Arsan to one of the waiters who was cleaning up the room.
