*A few weeks before Train point of view*

"Well, is that all the proposals? Filing funds, the same activity schedule of all participants is really right?" Rendi presented the proposal he wanted to submit to the school related to the basketball tournament that will be held in the coming weeks.

Amel and Naya nodded, agreeing with Rendi's question which looked groggy and worried. How not, Rendi has been known to have a bad reputation by the school so that anything and any way his actions are always viewed negatively by others. Every time he submitted a proposal, collected a task, or even just answered a question from a teacher, everyone always acted as if he would not do these things well, always try to find out the mistakes that might be made by Rendi because they believe everything the man did will certainly never be separated from negative things.

After gaining the confidence of Naya and Amel, Rendi went to the principal's room accompanied by some of her colleagues. Along the way, his chest thumped at the thought of whether their proposal was accepted or just the opposite.

"Take it easy, at first they are sinisin elo, but will certainly be accepted because of the proposal," one of Rendi's colleagues tried to calm the man who now looks pale because of the groggy.

"Diem lo, what a bacot!" Rendi barked, instead of thanking his friend for saying, he was angry because he could not digest any sentences at times like this.

Along the journey they took to get to the principal's room, Rendi kept sweating. Several times he rubbed his forehead and neck that was soaked with cold sweat. For more than half a year he was captain of the basketball team. However, this was his first time submitting a large proposal to the school. The proposal would be the first gateway to advance to a tournament that would determine the future and credibility of his team on the provincial scene.

After traveling a considerable distance from the basketball room, they finally managed to arrive in front of the principal's room. Rendi's nervousness and heart pounding are increasingly uncharacteristic of imagining herself having to face directly with the headmaster who had stopped her extraction for almost a month because she and her colleagues had once gang-raped Kiran and Roka.

Just then Rendi came as a troubled student who went berserk and barked in front of the headmaster at his decision. However, now he had to come as a small dog who asked the master for food. He came with the mandate and expectations of his friends in the basketball team, he came not only for himself but for all his team members.

Rendi took a breath and then exhaled slowly. He told two of his colleagues to wait outside while he went inside and submitted the proposal to the Head of Tunas Kelapa High School

"Lo's sure?" one of Randy's friends asked. He was worried that Rendi would get out of control as usual and go on a rampage in front of the principal.

Rendi nodded steadily, "Gue is sure! Just calm! I'm captain you all. Don't interfere, I can!"

With a doubtful face, the two fellows Rendi nodded in agreement. Although worried, they had no other choice but to let Rendi enter and submit the proposal themselves.

*criieet*

"Good morning Sir!" Rendi gave a clumsy smile as her two eyes instantly met the vice headmaster's eyes the moment after she opened the door.

"You? What's up?" as if astonished by Rendi's arrival, the vice principal showed an unusual expression. An expression that implies dislike.

Rendi was well aware of this. Not only the vice principal, everyone also looked at him with that gaze every time they met Rendi. Although at first did not understand why people hated him, now everything seemed to have become commonplace for Rendi. He no longer cared about the stares of those fools, no longer cared about the ridiculous look he received. Even so, sometimes he still bark and even beat people if his mood is bad.

Satisfied at the annoying expression that the vice principal presented, Rendi pulled out a chair then sat right in front of the vice headmaster with a table as a barrier between them. Generally, proposals such as this must be submitted by the principal's deputy headmaster first before being given to the principal to obtain approval and signature.

"What's this?" the vice school head raised his eyebrows when he saw Rendi thrusting a paper clippings wrapped in clear mica and blue buffalo paper at him.

"That's a basketball tournament proposal, ma'am. Me and my friends submitted proposals for a provincial tournament held in the next few weeks," Rendi tried hard to lower her voice, support herself and her speech. He realized, just a little mistake, then all team members will suffer the consequences.

As if he did not care about Rendi's words, the vice principal seemed busy flipping through the proposal that the man had thrust at him. Rendi realized that the fat woman before him was trying to find loopholes or errors from their proposals. However, he and other colleagues have reviewed and revised the proposal dozens of times before actually sending it here. Therefore, Rendi felt quite confident that the efforts of the fat woman to bring her down would not work.

"It's time to be close to a futsal tournament?" said Vice School Head Mother with an intonation that sounded quite annoying.

Rendi hesitated. Why are people carrying futsal?

"The funds you asked for are quite large. The committee and the official I think are too many," the woman flipped through the proposal in her hands with an expression that was increasingly nauseating for Rendi.

"Too much how, Mom? Officially only five people! The teams in the race have four teams! How do you think five people are too many? Fund issues, that's normal for the size of the race. We also cut our funds by more than ten percent compared to last year. Especially problem?" Randy started to sound emotional. It was clear from his tone of speech that was starting to rise.

"And I told you, time is close to the futsal team. It's good you cut some of these funds. Like this consumption or this jersey. You could eat a pack and wear a jersey last year! Or if you can't buy your own food. You are rich kids!" not to be outdone, the vice schoolmaster also raised his voice.

"We're racing with the name of the school, ma'am. We represent our school. It's up to mom that the other schools and the audience see us wearing butut shirts and eating a pack of rice for both. It's not us that will be denounced either" Rendi raised her eyebrows next to her. I don't know where the words came from, now he is trying to reverse their position.

The vice schoolmaster was visibly angry after hearing Rendi's words. Feeling like he had no other choice, he said, "Good. I take the proposal first and I'll give it to the principal for review."

Rendi smiled knots then stood up from the chair by saying, "Thank you."

That is, Rendi did not really thank the woman. He was only mocking the vice principal because the woman had no choice but to accept the proposal that Rendi had submitted to him. Rendi knows this school cares about reputation more than anything, the headmaster would not let the basketball team humiliate them in front of other schools so inevitably they had to respond to the written request contained in the proposal.

With a feeling of relief and carefreeness, Rendi walked out of the principal's room. The two friends who had been waiting for Rendi at the door looked surprised by the expression of Rendi who looked happy and excited.

"Can?" ask one of his colleagues. Although hesitant, he wanted to make sure what made Rendi look so excited.

"Wait a minute," said Rendi, deliberately making his partner wonder.

"It's a mysterious pretent!"

"Bacot lo! Ayok eat. I'm suddenly hungry because I see bloated fish in the dalem!" Rendi grabbed the shoulder of one of his colleagues then walked furiously towards the canteen.

The three walked in tandem through the hallways and corridors of the school by exchanging jokes. Some of the students who saw the three seemed reflexively pulled over from the street or even lowered their heads in fear because Rendi always acted cruelly at anyone who dared to disturb her. Even just to see someone else walking in front of him is sometimes able to make Rendi feel angry if her mood is bad.

After joking along the way to the cafeteria, Rendi landed her ass on an elongated chair in one corner of the canteen. He grabbed a packet of crutches and ate it while still laughing with his other two friends.

"Gue meatballs same iced orange. Lo both pesen aja too, I'm paying," Rendi stared at the two friends alternately.

"Pwg!" exclaimed one of Rendi's colleagues with enthusiasm. Both of them rushed to the food stall while Rendi waited in her place while spending the crackers.

Despite having problems with emotional control, Rendi is a person who is classified as generous to her friends. It is no secret that Rendi is the son of a rich man. Especially if you look at how he looks and his lifestyle. Everything on Rendi from the legs to the head end were expensive items. He also often treat people if his mood is good. At least, for people who see and see how Rendi lives so far, they are grateful because there is still one good thing that the man has.

The atmosphere of the cafeteria was quite crowded. As usual, students and schoolgirls were seen crammed into every store with jostling. A noise that sounded like the buzzing of bees filled the canteen. Some of the girls were seen swearing annoyed because the queue was dragged while some others were seen chatting and chatting with their close friends.

Rendi circulated his gaze nonchalantly until both eyes caught the figure of Ratih sitting together with several other girls who indeed Rendi knew as friends of Ratih. The girl looked as beautiful as ever with her shoulder-length hair and white and clean skin that seemed to shine when compared to other children.

Rendi smiled involuntarily when she saw Ratih laughing with her friends. She is always beautiful and beautiful when she laughs. Unfortunately, Rendi was never able to make Ratih laugh while they were still together.

For Rendi, Ratih is the most beautiful gift that God has ever given her even though it did not last long before the Lord returned to take Radih from her. However, Rendi realized that the moments with Ratih were the most beautiful and precious times in her life.

Ratih is a simple and cheerful girl. He was always positive and passed it on to those around him. This is inversely proportional to Rendi who is always negative and causes chaos wherever he is. Train as if to be a damper on the chaos and inability of Rendi in controlling himself. Ratih is always the water extinguishing Rendi every time he burns around her. Ratih has always been a samsak whenever Rendi fails to dispel her emotions. Ratih has always been anything to Rendi while for Ratih he is just a problem and suffering.

When Ratih decides to end their relationship, Rendi feels angry and devastated at the same time. He knew that those moments would soon come because the longer they were together, the more laughter and joy from Ratih's face disappeared. Too many problems that Rendi caused so that Ratih had nothing else to do but to solve the problems that Rendi did.

Laughter and happiness that exist in Ratih began to decrease and continue to decrease. The light that always covered him seemed dim because he was busy lighting the light on Rendi's dark and dark self. However, Rendi was not airy enough to let go of Ratih. He is not mature enough to accept Ratih's departure even though he is aware that the best thing he can do for Ratih's happiness is to let him go.

Rendi could not accept the fact that Ratih was going to leave her so all of a sudden it was ash and dark. Rendi refuses to let go of Ratih while the girl refuses to remain by Rendi's side. Both of them remained strong without anyone ever wanting to give up. Rendi still continued to search around and meet Ratih even after a month since their separation.

No longer wanting to mess around with Rendi's selfish attitude, Ratih tried to ignore and let Rendi act as she wanted because she would not care about anything the man did.

Time goes by and Rendi never gets Ratih back. He suffers and suffers even more when he hears that Ratih is expressing his feelings to other men. At that time, the anger, sadness, and despair that had been felt by Rendi melted into one. He is completely devastated when he realizes that there will be no more opportunity for him to be with Ratih.

Amid the destruction and heartache that bound him like an iron chain, someone came to lend a helping hand. Saying that everything would be fine if he went and finished off the men that made Ratih fall in love.
