A cool morning made Anin can only roar from behind the curtains of her room.
After a night of being unable to sleep, Anin finally decided to wake up once in the morning and move to her room.
Somehow his mind floated to Rei. "How are you??" he muttered inwardly, then took his phone and started surfing on Rei's social media account.
"Ehm, no posts since that day. What the hell is going on with you??" said Anin while staring sadly at every photo of Rei stored there.
Long enough Anin noticed Rei's social media account, then she remembered Leni, her friend there.
"Ah, should I just ask him, at least he would know better about Rei's situation, and I should also tell him that I'm home. So he no longer needed to send messages to my mother" Anin said, then began to contact Leni.
"(Hello ..)"
"Hello, Len. How are you?? It's me Anin."
"(Hi, Nin?? I can finally hear your voice again. I'm good, Nin. You how are you?)"
"good too. Oh, yeah Len. Here I want to tell you, if I'm back home. And thank you so much for helping me this whole time."
"(Ah, thank goodness, Nin. Finally you can return with your sanity again,)" said Leni insinuated Anin and they both ended up laughing.
"Len?"
"(Yes, why Nin?)"
"How's Rei doing?? Did you know that??" asked Anin nervously.
"(You haven't read the news yesterday afternoon. Nin?)"
"What news, Len?? Why is Rei on the news??" asked Anin curiously, it made her heart beat faster.
"(No, don't ask too many questions. You just see for yourself, who Rei really is. You don't know, Rei is getting married this morning!! Where are you going, Nin?? News like this you can't know"
"Whataaa?? With who??"
Again and again, Anin felt her world crumbling again. The affection and love he still had for Rei, now would really just be a memory.
"Rei?? No!! No way!! That fast??" yelled Anin inwardly, and made his tears fall again for the umpteenth time.
"(Nin?? Anin?? Are you still there??)" call Leni worried, afraid something will happen to Anin.
"Eh yes, Len. I'll close it for a second, okay?? I'll call you later" Anin said, then hung up.
In the absence of foreign news news for this morning, and it is true. There's news of Rei's wedding and it's going to take place this morning.
"Reiki Alterio Savian, happy luck!!"
I don't feel the tears flowing back. This time Anin was crying. The feeling that he had been trying to suppress all this time, finally came out as well.
"Why, Son??" asked Bi Inah who suddenly entered and surprised Anin.
"It's okay, ma'am," said Anin trying to cover up the sadness of her heart.
Bi Inah knew something must have happened to her daughter. He hugged Anin tightly. He hopes everything will improve soon.

"(Dubraaayak!!)"
Someone forced his way into Rafa's room. Making Rafa and Mark who were inside was shocked.
"Raphaa!!!"
Rafa stood up and saw Hendra half-running towards him, and ...
"(Baaaaaam!!)"
A punch landed right on Rafa's face and made fresh blood flow through the temples of his eyes.
"Master!!" mark shouted reflexes and then returned Hendra's punch, with a kick right in Hendra's stomach.
"Abs!!"
Hendra was thrown not far from where he was standing and fell down right beside the table.
"Have it!! Enough!!" rafa commands when Mark will repeat the same thing. Rafa doesn't want Mark to get his hands dirty with people like Hendra.
"What do you want??" ask Rafa emotions.
Hendra dumped a file right at Rafa's feet. Mark took it, opened it and gave it to Rafa.
"What is this??"
"Not pretend not to know. You deliberately returned it, right?? You think it'll affect me??"
Rafa laughed loudly, as if laughing at Hendra's stupidity.
"Not affecting you?? Keep coming here for what??"
Hendra was silent, having already embarrassed himself.
"I'll never take back anything I've thrown away!!"
Hendra looked at her in annoyance, slammed the door, then left Rafa.
"Mark??"
"Ready, Mister??"
"Observate Miss Anin's activities. I'm sure a man like Hendra will never calm down before his goal is achieved."
"Okay, sir." replied Mark, then left Rafa's room.

"Mommy???" call Rafin, then pull Anin's hand.
"Yes, honey??"
"Apin wants ice cream"
"Let's just ask Man for help, shall we?? Grandma said we can't leave the house" Anin explained.
"Will you want a bitch, Mi??" whinek Rafin who does not care about Bi Inah's ban.
"Hem, let's ask Grandma's permission first, yuk?? Mami is afraid that we will get angry." explained Anin, then brought Rafin to meet Bi Inah in his room.
*
"Neneek??" rafin shouted running hugging Bi Inah.
"Yes, honey??"
"Apin wants to buy ice cream, but mommy won't, Grandma!!" he said with a pouting face.
Bi Inah looked at Anin who was smiling looking at her son's behavior.
"Yes, Mami's right. The air's not good, baby. Rafin's gonna be sick, you know??"
"Wouldn't!! Don't want to!!"
Amidst Rafin's whimper, Anin's phone suddenly rang. "Whose number is this??" he murmured in the heart.
"Mom, Anin pick up the phone first, okay?" said Anin then out of Bi Inah's room.
*
"Hello?"
"(Anindya?)"
"Yes, I'm alone. This who??"
"(You don't need to know who I am. Do you remember Wong's lawyer? Lawyer of the Atmaja family, as well as a friend of your mother???)"
"Yes, I remember. What's with Wong's lawyer??"
"(He is now in my hands. And his death is now in your hands. If you want him to survive, come here!!)"
"Awhat?? Where possible!! You lied!!"
"(If you don't believe me, hear this!!)"
The caller then heard someone's voice.
"Pa pa uncle Wong?? Is that really you??" said Anin scared. He felt like he had heard that voice and was no stranger to him.
"(Please uncle, Nin!!)" ask someone from there, who claims to be Wong's lawyer.
"Pamaaaan??"
"(Hello? Now you trust it?? If you want the only witness to your parents' death alive, you come here.)"
"But??"
"(It's up to you to come or not. But surely you will know what the fate is if you do not come. I'll give you an address, and keep this a secret from anyone. If anyone finds out, I'll kill him!!)" command the caller, then end their conversation.
Shortly thereafter there was an incoming message on Anin's phone. An address just sent by the caller.
"Anin go first huh, Mom??"
"Where's honey?? Don't out!! The danger!!!" yelled Bi Inah who saw Anin running out, but not in the corner by Anin.
Anin stops a taxi and slides towards the address the caller gave her.
*
"Where are you, son??" bi Inah said in her heart.
Bi Inah was afraid of anything happening with Anin like the events of the past.
"Ah, did I tell Mr Rafa directly??"
Bi Inah walked back and forth like a confused person.
"Ah, no!! He will come back later too. I don't want to bother Mr. Rafa anymore" said Bi Inah trying to calm himself.
*
Arriving at the address.
"Sepi, no one??"
Anin walked around, then suddenly his head was hit by a very hard object, and he fell unconscious to the ground.
