Me, What It Is

CHAPTER 26 ~ Don't Want To Lose Again ~

Reana stared at the tall fence before her. The fence is usually passed daily, where Reana had been living in one of the boarding rooms in the neighborhood of the mansion. It has been a year and a half since Reana occupied her room, since she was received by Yati ma'am in the house.

This morning, after attending college the girl was determined to find a boarding room by herself. Last night at the apartment, Reana was afraid to stay longer with Nico.

Nico is too kind, the man gives everything for Reana, the man's desire to always show his affection for Reana by spoiling the girl in every way.

Gifts and gentle treatment were always given to Reana, making the girl complacent and never daring to resist the man's wishes. That day they were still able to overcome their pent-up desires.

But what about the next days ? Reana was afraid that they could no longer hold back. Nico has a charm that no woman can resist. Plus the gentleman and romantic attitude that is already inherent in him.

Which girl was able to withstand Nico's gentle gaze?That's why Reana must immediately find a new boarding room in order to have a reason to immediately get out of the man's apartment.

After her college is over the girl checks the message Nico sent her. The man asked Reana to wait because there was a sudden thesis guidance schedule that he had to follow.

The opportunity was used by Reana to go find a boarding house alone, but somehow the girl stopped at her old boarding place. It felt like the girl had not willingly lost the room she had been in all this time.

After standing for almost half an hour, looking at the large building before him, the girl finally decided to leave.

Is there still room for me ? No way, if there are still empty rooms, there is no way Bu Yati asked me out for the new tenant, whispered Reana.

The girl was already preparing to leave, turning around with a heavy heart.

"Reana, you're Reana right?" said a student who had just come out of the fence of the mansion, peeking at Reana who was just about to leave.

Reana turned her head when she heard someone calling her name, she saw a hostess she knew.

"Sir Icut" Reana replied in shock

"How are you doing ? did you get a boarding room ?" tanya Cut Anisyah one of the residents of the boarding house who has been considered like a sister for the students there.

Reana shakes.

"I'm staying in a friend's apartment" Reana replied quietly without telling her who the friend was.

If Reana told me she was staying in an apartment with a man, I don't know what Cut Anisyah had in mind.

Cut Anisyah, a late-level student who has lived in Bu Yati boarding house for a long time. When Bu Yati's husband recently died, Cut Anisyah came with her friend asking to be accepted as a boarding room tenant, at that time they were still freshly accepted first semester students at the University not far from the mansion.

Lonely Bu Yati lives in her husband's mansion, finally deciding to accept the students as tenants of the rooms in her house.

Not just money, Bu Yati received more children because of pity, plus among them are children from underprivileged families like Reana.

"Since you left, Ms. Yati has been very worried about you, you are one of Yati's favorite daughters. He was concerned to see your persistence in working to find the cost of living and education" Cut Anisyah told Reana who could only be bowed.

"Let's talk, you haven't eaten, have you ? we're talking at the front yard yuk" Cut Anisyah asked while pulling Reana's hand.

After ordering food, Cut Anisyah immediately recounted Bu Yati's sadness at being forced to drive Reana out of her boarding room.

"Almost every day ma'am Yati asks about your situation, ma'am Yati is very afraid you fall into places that are not true" continued Cut Anisyah.

The girl of Acehnese descent was like a sister to all the residents of the boarding house. The girl did not hesitate to help all her boarding siblings problems from financial problems, college assignments to romance problems.

When he found out that Reana was coming out of the boarding house, Cut Anisyah was very surprised, trying to ask the real incident to Bu Yati, but she could not do much when she heard the problems faced by Bu Yati.

"All because of rich students who insist on taking your room.

Even to threaten bu Yati because it does not have a boarding room rental business license. Actually Bu Yati did not want to accept it, but because of the threat, was forced to accept the girl even though the boarding room was full.

You're the only one who hasn't paid the rent.

Finally Bu Yati has no other choice forced to ask you out, it is impossible to evict other tenants if they have paid, right?" cut Anisyah story while telling complaints about Bu Yati.

Reana could only nod, understanding Bu Yati's dilemma.

"The girl paid rent for up to a full year but still does not occupy her room.

If Bu Yati could find the girl, he would love to return the money.

The girl just wanted to kick you out" continued Cut Anisyah slowly, as if talking to herself.

Reana could only bow, glancing at her watch, it was soon. Soon Nico finished his thesis and Reana wanted to get to the campus before the man knew his departure from campus without his permission.

"At times, Yati always asked where Rebecca was, she said she wanted to stay here, already already.."

"Who's sister, sorry, what's the tenant's name?" tanya Reana suddenly cut off the words of Cut Anisyah.

"Rebecca, Ms. Yati said her name was Rebecca," replied Cut Anisyah curious about Reana's attitude.

"That girl named Rebecca, is a beautiful girl with long blonde hair, wearing expensive and fashionable clothes, everywhere always followed by her friends, is it like that?" tanya Reana gave Rebecca the traits she knew.

"It seems so, you know him?" tanya Cut Anisyah is getting curious.

"She's my class" replied Reana weakly, the girl did not expect, Rebecca still hates her and tries to always sculpt her.

Cut Anisyah immediately pulled Reana's hand, after paying for their meal, Cut Anisyah invited the girl to meet Bu Yati immediately. Plus Bu Yati who always asks about Reana. If Bu Yati knew Reana was coming but didn't see her, surely Bu Yati would feel sad.

Bu Yati immediately hugged Reana, worried about the state of the girl like a mother worried about her daughter. Cut Anisyah immediately tells about Rebecca who is actually a classmate of Reana.

Bu Yati heard Reana and Cut Anisyah's explanation alternately. From there Bu Yati concluded that Rebecca had deliberately targeted Reana in order to be expelled from the boarding house.

"Surely mom, I can go back to this house" asked Reana as if unsure.

Not believing, his footsteps to stop by this house can make him return to his favorite room.

"Of course, I'd rather you occupy that room than that rich, arrogant girl" said Bu Yati reassured Reana.

Reana is very happy to welcome the wishes of Ms. Yati. In his heart, it was never imagined that Bu Yati would be able to throw him out for no reason, because since he was accepted in that house. Bu Yati never minded the rent that Reana sometimes paid late.

Bu Yati actually always gave waivers and even gave his support to the girl. That's why Reana felt so comfortable living there. The attitude of affection and tenderness of Bu Yati always reminds the girl of her mother who is far away in her hometown.

Nico who had finished his thesis guidance, walked hurriedly looking for Reana. Nico did not want to let the girl wait for him for too long. After sending the message, the girl gave no more news.

Where is the girl ? inner Nico.

The man was just about to call Reana when he suddenly saw the girl walking hurriedly towards the cafeteria.

Nico immediately chased after Reana, trying to call her but was snuffed out after seeing Reana standing face to face with Rebecca and her friends.

Nico was curious about what they were talking about, behind a wall not far from Reana's position, Nico stood up to hear their conversation.

"I already know the brain behind my expulsion from a room I've been in for years" Reana said after sighing.

"Until when will you disturb my calm ? all this time I have always given up, never once have I returned your evil treatment, you know why ?because I feel sorry for you" Reana continued her conversation.

"What ? loe pity me, hellow that's really a loe to be pitied" replied Rebecca did not want to lose.

"No, you need to be pitied, because you are a lonely rich girl who looks strong and happy in front of your friends.

But really you are just a girl who is afraid of being defeated by a poor girl like me" Reana said.

After taking a breath for a moment Reana again let out her heart which had only been buried deeply.

"You know Rebecca, the focus of a runner is to get to the finish line as quickly as possible.

While you, for the sake of reaching the finish line, all you think about is how to elbow your opponents.

You must know exactly who likes Nico's sister a lot, while other people run further and further away from you, you're just busy looking for a way to bring me down" Reana said at length.

Rebecca fanned her overheated face at Reana's words.

"And one thing you don't know, the more you beat me up, the more Nico wants to help me, is that what you want ?

In fact, it is you who delivered Brother Nico before me" said Reana while looking intently at Rebecca.

Rebecca and her friends grew increasingly excited to hear Reana's words.

"I'm actually a person who knows myself, I know my limits.

I know I am not a person worthy of him. I even forbid myself to like it.

I always wish you were the right person for her, even praying that you could be happy with her.

Because at least you have the same strata. You are compatible and come from a family with the same social status"

Rebecca and her friends laughed cynically, Nico walked away from the place. He didn't want to hear the conversation any longer.

Praying for me with Rebecca, thank you for not bothering, Nico said

Rebecca ruffled her waist, confidently challenging Reana.

"Then stay away, don't block my steps, people like you, just people who undermine the order of life that should be" Rebecca said.

"I'm sorry Rebecca, not anymore, because from now on I won't hand over Nico's brother to someone like you, please look for other ways to bring me down" Reana said staring intently at Rebecca.

Then remind me something.

"Ah. you do not know, for the sake of wanting to change the boarding room you took, brother Nico wanted to buy me an apartment in the same building with him.

Is that what you want ? don't you ?

Then give me my room back, or I'll receive an apartment from sister Nico" Reana continued, grabbing Rebecca's hand and putting an envelope with the rent given by Ms. Yati.

Reana left Rebecca who was stunned. The girl is upset whenever she seeks a way to hurt Reana, Nico always appears as her helper.

"Udahlah Bec, give it up, it's difficult to dapetin brother Nico, look for another one anyway, there are many other guys who like ama loe" said one of Rebecca's friends.

Rebecca hit the girl's arm while staring intently at her. Although Rebecca had no hope of getting Nico's heart, she wasn't the type of person to give up Nico.

If he can't get Nico, Reana can't get it. That's the most important goal for Rebecca right now.

But Reana is now different, clearly the girl has expressed her desire to keep Nico. The girl did not want to give up anymore.

Although Reana had no idea what Rebecca would do to her any day, the girl was ready to deal with her. Reana doesn't want to budge anymore, she's already declared open war on Rebecca.
