The next day.....
Early in the morning when Rindy had just woken up, suddenly her mother pushed Rindy back into her room. Rindy was amazed by what her mother did, by putting on an upset face that was on her mother
"Rindy!! Today you should be in your room all day."
"What does mother mean? Mom told me to lock myself in a room all day? But I also have to go to school"
"Yes, you can go out but when mom's gone. Remember!! Just be careful if you get out of your room before you leave!!"
"Yes, mom. I got it"
When Rendy had just woken up and walked out of her room, her mother waited at the door to say goodbye to Rendy
"Well, Rendy mom comes home first huh. Take good care of yourself"
"Where's Rindy? He should be here too, right?"
"Mom thinks Rindy's still in her room. She doesn't want to meet mom, what kind of child is she!?" Mom looks upset when Rendy talks about Rindy in front of her.
"I think Rindy was sad when she wanted to go home."
"It's Rendy, don't talk about her now. Mom comes home and take care of yourself. Always remember, eat if you're hungry. I'll send you money when your money's up."
"Yes mom"
She went back to her original home, and heard the door shut, and there was no sound of her mother. Rindy immediately came out of her room and prepared to go to school. Seeing Rindy coming out of her room with a gloomy face and like she was holding back tears made Rendy wonder and ask.
"Why did you just get out of your room, Rindy!? Mom just left"
"It's okay, Rendy. I just woke up bad luck. I'm going to school first"
"Don't go out together?"
"No, I'll go alone."
"Oh, then fine"
Seeing Rindy acting strange, making Rendy wonder what happened when she had not woken up earlier.
*I'm curious\, what happened just now. Is it possible that mom told Rindy to lock herself in a room?* In Rendy's heart that saw Rindy come out and open the door
At school, it's a break when Karina looks for Rindy in her class. Rindy was not in her seat. And by chance Rendy passed by walking in front of him, Karina also asked him if rindy today did not enter
"Ah..Rendy, is Rindy sick now?"
"No, why?"
"He's not in his class. All I see is, the chair is empty"
"I'll look for him after school "
"Ah, t. don't! I'll just look for him after school."
"really? You don't mind doing it?"
"Yes, it's okay after school you have soccer practice, right for next month's sports week?"
"Yes"
Right now Rendy doesn't seem worried about Rindy who isn't at the school. Not knowing what had happened before, they seemed to be indifferent to each other. And finally after school Karina looks for rindy around the housing and highway near the school. Until Karina passed a small playground that was quiet there. It looks like Rindy who is sitting on one of the swings that is there is crying like thinking of something that is so heavy for her. With a slightly irritated look on her face, Karina finally approached her. And Rindy was surprised to see Karina in front of her.
"Why is Karina here?"
"Don't pretend you don't know!!, why weren't you at school?"
"Ah, i.it"
"Why didn't you ever tell me you had tough days?"
"I don't want to tell you things I don't like. I'm enough to keep that unpleasant thing."
"But at least I can help you, right? You have a lot of friends now. Don't think too much about it if you're the only one with that kind of problem. Everyone also had problems, and in the end they asked for help from people who were quite close to them. You can be like that too, Rindy. I'm sure it is"
Rindy opened her mouth, and began to tell all her problems like holding back tears, and rubbed her eyes as she cried telling her the problem.
"Me, my mom I think likes Rendy better than me. Every day, mom used to say I was useless, and wish I wasn't there."
"Why is that?"
"Maybe, I'm not like Rendy, who always looks great in mom's eyes. While I was just as a barrier between mother and Rendy. I'm so confused...."
"At least, you still have someone willing to stand up for you right?"
"Defend me? Who?"
"I'm sure, Rendy all the time, and every time she thinks about you Rindy."
"Rendy..?"
"When you're not around, Rendy always comes to me she always asks. How's rindy now? Did he enjoy his school days?. His face was so grim when he asked that. And when I answered with an answer that said you were fine, his face immediately became happy and calm to hear it."
"You didn't make up that story to calm me down, did you?"
"If it is a reality that cannot be denied. Even though I lied to you, I'm sure Rendy was the one who always worried about you, rindy"
"I'm not sure about that."
"When you get home, try asking her. Rest assured if Rendy's a loyal person thinks of you. Yes or no, it's up to who gives you the answer."
"What besides Rendy, is there anything else?"
"The key is, you have to be sure of yourself, rindy!”
After that Rindy was only speechless to see Karina standing in front of her, with a smile that was clearly visible on her face.
*Ya\, I'll try.* In Rindy's heart while looking directly at Karina.
