Complicated Bubbles

27. Raining

Promises. That is as easy as you pledge it and that is as easy as you deny it.

Complicated Bubbles

Not felt, now that night has arrived, the sun sinks without leaving the light. The sky is dark without the stars and moon.

After finishing eating, Rendra initially invited Syafa to go to the monas, but Syafa refused because it was already night. So they decided to go home. But their return journey was hampered by heavy rain, at first Syafa wanted to continue the journey, but Rendra refused, fearing that Syafa was sick. Finally, they sat at the bus stop, waiting for the rain to stop.

The rain this time is very heavy equipped with very strong, cold winds, Syafa admitted that. When he felt cold, suddenly the jacket stuck to his body. Rendra's jacket, he can find out from the distinctive fragrance of the jacket, Rendra's smell.

"Thanks," said Syafa throwing a smile at Rendra who also returned the smile.

Not far from where they were, Rendra's eyes saw a girl walking towards the stop, she was crying. Rendra's eyes could not be separated from the girl, like a stranger, he thought.

"Mrs?" rendra said as the girl reached the stop. The girl called naya turned her head towards Rendra.

"Rendra?" the girl named Naya was a little surprised to see Rendra there.

"Who's the night of wildness?"

"Regular, is. You won't care about me now."

"Kanaya!" Rendra stood in front of Kanaya.

"What!"

"Lo can get that rain."

"What a care lo Rendra! Whaaat! I'm sick, nobody cares either! Everyone doesn't love me! There is not a single person on this earth who loves me! I hate! Hate it!"

"I'm horrified." Both Rendra's thoughts held Kanaya's shoulders, their eyes clashing with eyes, a look of longing. Shafa could see that, two people who missed each other. She who? ask Shafa in his heart. Syafa could not ask that, his lips frozen.

"With the way you run away from home, cry at midnight, it will not solve your problems."

"Keep what I have to do! Tell me, I have to what Rendra!" Kanaya shakes Rendra's shoulders before Rendra finally carries the kanaya in her arms.

Rendra whispered something to Kanaya, which Syafa could not hear. She wanted to run away from this place, but her legs froze like her mouth. His nerves were dead, not functioning, his heart ached to see Rendra who was stroking the hair of the girl Syafa knew named Kanaya. She smiled bitterly at how sweet Rendra was to calm Kanaya down.

"Lo came home yes, I'm anther," said Rendra, taking off the hug. Kanaya just nodded, agreeing with Rendra's offer.

Rendra walked over to Syafa. "Yes, I ran him first yes, his house is near, you wait here yes, do not go anywhere," said Rendra.

"Ren," Syafa said in the end. "Why?" ask Rendra confused. Syafa takes off Rendra's jacket on her body and hands it to Rendra.

"For Kanaya, she's raining, pitying the cold" said Syafa, her smile expanding, even though it's fake smile. Rendra received the jacket and ruffled Syafa's hair for a moment.

Rendra put on Kanaya's jacket until it was perfectly fitted on Kanaya's body. Rendra rode the bike, followed by Kanaya, then the bike drove, leaving Syafa alone.

Syafa is fine, right, Syafa will be fine. Inner Syafa convinced himself.

Rendra cares about her friends, she just cares. Think Syafa.

***

Y'all know? The rain needs a friend. Because he was sad in loneliness.

It's been 1 hour for Shafa to wait at the stop. His body began to shiver considering the heavy rain and the wind that kept blowing fiercely pierced Syafa's skin. Syafa opens the phone again and calls Rendra the umpteenth time, but again not picked up. The phone is inactive.

Rendra... Where are you?

After thinking, Syafa finally decided to go home alone, on foot, playing with his friend, it was raining. Maybe it's better. Along the way, Syafa remembers the girl named Kanaya. Well-favoured. More beautiful than him. Higher than himself. Who is Rendra? The question again appeared in his head.

Is Rendra still accompanying the girl?

Syafa chuckled at the ridiculous question he thought of. It's possible that Rendra is accompanying the girl, Kanaya. It seemed like Kanaya was having a problem, so Rendra accompanied the girl to the point of forgetting her.

Yes, Rendra just accompany.

Rendra is only there for her friend when her friend needs her.

Rendra simply drove her home so Kanaya wouldn't get sick from the midnight rain.

Yes, surely Rendra is just good intentions.

Then what about her? Doesn't Rendra care about him?

Didn't Rendra accompany her on this rain-filled blue night?

Doesn't Rendra worry if he's sick after the rain?

Ah no, Rendra accompanied Kanaya because Kanaya was in trouble and needed Rendra at the moment. Rendra's good.

That night, it was filled with Syafa's thoughts about Rendra.

Arriving at home. He passed through the living room. There was laughter there. He looked at his family members. Complete. Papa, Mama, Rifa, Syira, even Shila, her twin who came home from Australia.

Shila Kinara Amaradinka's. Syafa Sabila's twin brother Amaradinka. Shila is Shafa's older sister, born 5 minutes ahead of him. The twins are not identical. Visible contrast. Shafa is white, a little short. While Shila skinned sapodilla mature and tall. They are twins in intelligence. Equally smart. However, his family always compared their intelligence. Shila is superior because of the incident.

"Not intentionally Pa," said Syafa as he was. The father walked towards Shafa. Then he came back to his voice. "Father said, don't rain! If you get sick, your rankings will drop!" said Rian - Papa Syafa - full of emphasis.

"See Shila! He has received a scholarship abroad. While you? Just surviving in parallel rank 1 is hard."

"I'm tired Pa, want to rest," said Syafa lazy.

"Papa's not done talking."

"Otherwise Pa?"

"Can you listen to me like Shila?!"

"Why does Papa banding-banding want me to be with Shila anyway?"

"Papa was always proud of Shila. Proud to be Papa's favorite son."

"SHYAFA!" Rian's hand slapped the girl, Syafa. As Shafa grimaced, his hand held onto his dark cheek. The slap was pretty loud. Syafa had gotten used to the clash of his Papa without a trace from his family. They just look without a care.

"Well, you've got to get a scholarship to study abroad." That sounded like a threat and a compulsion in Syafa's ear. Shafa wanted to cry this time, but he held her back.

"And Syafa wants, Papa or mama who won't report Syafa later."

During this time, his father always took the Shila report, while his mother always took the Rifa and Syira. And himself? Taking it upon himself, since the incident.

"Can't, Papa took the Shila report." Syafa knew that his father would answer that, every time she wanted her father to go to school to attend a rapper, but he always refused because he had to go to Australia, take a Shila report. In fact, it is clear the date of distribution of reports in Australia earlier than Indonesia.

"For tonight please, Pa, I'm sleepy, good night all." Shafa smiled and went to his room.

Syafa locked the door of his room and his body fell behind the door he sat down, his hands hugging his legs which he bent. Body vibrates. Her tears came out.

"Eyang's... Shayu kangen Eyang."

"Sister... I miss my sister too."

"Syafa is alone here, Shayt is lonely."

Not far from where he was crying, Syafa reached out his hand to take a picture frame. His hand was stroking the photo. The photo was with Eyang and his kalak a few years ago. Before they left him alone.

"Ca, don't cry, hey. Sister the most beautiful sister can not cry, the beauty will fade." A boy hugged a girl younger than him, he was crying.

"Why Kak, the dear Aci mulu Papa Mama?"

"Sstt don't say that, Papa and Mama love Aca really."

"No, they don't love Aca..."

"They're always mad at Caca but never angry at Aci."

"People show affection is different Ca, some with gentleness there are in a rough way like the red of the contonhnya."

"So they love Aca?"

"Yes, they love Aca. Especially the same brother."

"But Eyang ninggalin us Brother, Eyang left," the cry of the little girl grew louder when she said the word 'yang'.

"That's not going, that's in our hearts Ca."

"But I feel lonely when there's no Eyeang."

"There is a brother."

"That's good there's a brother. That brother is the best and most beautiful brother in the world!"

"You may be tempted Brother."

"Who can dong Adeknya."

"Haha. Aren't you sad?"

"Now not dong."

"Good."

"No promise, don't stay with Aca?"

"Yes promise."

"Pantelan first!" The daughter named Aca thrust her little finger, then the boy called Big Brother greeted the little finger with his little finger.

"Main swing yuk, big brother push!"

"Come on!"

"Sister... Aca kangen Brother Sama Eyang," cried without a sound is what Syafa is currently doing, his tears increasingly swift considering his brother.

"Read yourself Brother, Aca needs Brother. I promised I wouldn't miss Aca, but now I'm gone, no more Aca, no more Kangen Kak."
