The present will be past, though I will wait for you in the future.

“It's done?” questions from Daren and his greeting when he saw Raya coming out of the house of a schoolmate as well. The man gave her the helmet she used to wear.
“Already, did I say do not pick up, Daren” said Raya. “I can go home by myself, kok”
It was Daren's custom, to pick up Raya when she had just returned home to teach private lessons. Normally, Daren would be private with Raya, but this time it was different. The woman was flooded with schedules with other friends during a repeat week like this.
After knowing Raya for longer, the woman turned out to be a smart child. She was able to attend Citra Harapan School with the scholarship she got.
Indeed, he was less capable in matters of matter. However, his intelligence makes him no doubt. The stern kingdom also makes him always favored in different sides. Not just about the face.
“Don't protest most, yeah, Ra. I don't want you home last night,” Daren trying to warn.
Raya frowns while holding Daren's shoulder so that he can ride the bike in balance. “It's not too late, really. Only half-time ten,”
“Emang dare to go through a quiet alley?” daren's question made Raya silent unable to answer. “Now I ask, you dare to go home dark-dark?”
“Engga,” great-grandchild.
“Yes already, it is safest if I pick up,” Daren now draw conclusions. Raya did not want to deal long with the man, so she better just keep quiet following what Daren said. “Abang-branch thugs love to fear the same handsome,”
Raya frowned, the man was originally acting cold. But this time he praised himself. “Since when was there such a theory?” kekeh Raya later.
“You have not heard of a handsome man talking?” Raya sontak pinched Daren's waist. The man immediately acted pretentious in pain, even though the pinch was not felt.
The two chuckled together, so it was their custom when both of them were like this. In fact, people will say that their jokes are not funny at all.
When Daren tried to laugh with his confidence, Raya readily laughed because of his ruckus. Something ordinary, but so special when everything complements each other.

“At home you are a bit rame,” said Daren when the two arrived in front of the house Raya. The small house in the alley was immediately obvious when parked two motorcycles in front of the house that felt full.
“Iya, maybe his friend's mother,” said Raya. It is not usually the house that someone comes to. Which family from the Royal Father would want to meet them.
A bad feeling suddenly approached the woman. Heavily, he asked Daren to go home soon. “You're home now,” pinta women it.
“Iya, I went straight home,” Raya took off her helmet, then gave it to Daren. “Live a break,” Daren told.
Daren who had put the helmet back turned to look at the woman he liked. “I've been together,”
It's gaping, he doesn't believe what Daren said. “Totally?” tanyakanya. A human like Daren doing PR?
“Seriously, I was waiting for you while working on PR MTK,” said the man who has been a friend of Raya this year. “You want to see the PR?” Raya sontak shook her head.
“I want to do my own business first.” The woman still did not want to accept Daren's help. “Udah cepetan you go home,” Raya back insistent.
“Sabar first,” men who are still sitting on his motorbike suddenly ruffled the hair of Raya. “I'm confused to say if the same people are beautiful,”
Raya threw a horror look at the man who had ruffled his hair. He not only destroyed the hairstyle of Raya, but also ravaged the heart of Raya.
“Basic mouth player,” tejek Kingdom.
The man chuckles, “That matters to one man doang, to another dgga,” Daren start again. “By home?” ask the man.
“Kan has been ordered from earlier,” he said.
“Iya, anyway. But that was my fear you miss.” Without waiting for time, Raya directly chimed in.
“Ih, so disgusted I'm the same lo” both then chuckle again. Simple not to make them laugh?
“I came home really, nih” said Daren who turned on the motor again. “Tomorrow you see my PR, yes”
Raya again remembered with PR Mathematics that must be collected tomorrow. At first the woman wanted to avoid it again, but she chose to agree Daren so that the man would go home sooner.
“Iya,” Kingdom smile later. Simultaneously, Daren was running his motorbike leaving the Raya residence.
Fortunately, Daren is home and won't be back here. Except tomorrow morning when both are in school. Once, the owner of two motorcycles that turned out to be four people finally came out of his house.
Both are big and big. After the four people came out, Mama Raya came out accompanied by Aila little who hugged her mother. From far away, Raya can see her mother who is looking down. Sometimes she wiped her tears out.
Without caring for the four people, Raya immediately ran up to Gina who was immediately embraced by Raya. “Mama, okay?”
Raya was so lucky, those guys took the bike they were planning to leave. Mama and Aila are in a mess.
Both his families were not injured. However, their cries and the many messy items were enough to explain the mess tonight. Raya regretted that she should not have come to Helena's house to teach private lessons.
I am very sorry to leave both.
The sound of the two motorcycles gone, making his heart more relieved. Raya tried to smile even though she felt heavy, the two people who became her family could not worry anymore.
“We go inside only, ya” said Mama who is better. Before Raya entered, she locked the fence first. Only then did Raya enter her relatively small house.
Up inside, Raya can see the destruction of this small house. Aila, who is her sister, is cleaning up the mess that Raya concluded because of the four people.
“Mama has a lot of debt, Kak” is only one sentence. But Raya was able to translate that sentence into many meanings. “Mama forced to keep us alive,”
Mom's voice sounded soft. Not like my usual mother. Raya just smiled, she already knew what her mother would say.
“Mama doesn't want you to drop out of school, let alone Aila. He still has to go to school until college,” Raya nodded her head in understanding. “But Mama can't afford to attend school here anymore,”
The Kingdom instantly realized, there was something bigger that he had to face right now. Raya can't force her mother to stay here. And he also could not force himself to go to school in Citra Harapan.
Scholarships do fund all of his education, but not his living expenses. Raya has been trying to finance herself by teaching private, but all that is not enough.
He does not want to be a selfish child. Only this house is a relic of Papa who has died since he was a child. And Mama had no choice but to go back to the village.
“Raya does not matter if we go home,” after replying to Mama's words, Raya realizes that she must leave everything. Including Daren of course.
