rachel suddenly felt pain in that part again, but this time it did not feel as painful as before. rachel still forced herself to work.rachel held her stomach during editing chapter by chapter.
"sorry to make you wait a long time, rachel. tomorrow I'm going to school, so you don't have to come to work" said Arqan.
"that's it. I'm gonna be a little lonely" rachel said.
the next day Rachel gets a shocking text from her father.The father gives the news that rachel's mother is very sick. Therefore, the father asks rachel to come home soon, at least one day.
rachel immediately moves to shower, dress, eat, and dress up a little. A girl should always look beautiful wherever she steps.
during rachel's activities, Nein was having breakfast.The cat was planned to come with rachel.
"miaw miaw miaw"
rachel interprets the language of nein. he said nein was eager to leave. The language interpretation game was always fun for rachel.he and nein also left after filling up with gasoline.
usually rachel does not give roadside retail gasoline, only specifically for today because the situation is urgent.
rachel chose the wrong way, she even went into the streets that were prone to traffic jams.as a result rachel was stuck in traffic. Fortunately the sky was cloudy on that day and a little cloudy anyway. rachel was worried they would rain.
nein also uses his power to open closed roads because of the arrogant acts of selfish controllers.The congestion is caused by the number of cars called on the side of the road. as a result, the narrow road became more narrow and there was a traffic jam.
"ehh... suddenly the traffic stopped" rachel who was stuck in the middle of the traffic density drove back quietly.
the cars that blocked the road moved to the sidewalk.rachel did not understand what happened, he continued the journey without caring about it.
*
driving for 3 hours made rachel's back hurt.His smile was etched upon seeing the pagoda which was a towering roof.
rachel paused in front of the pagoda.The village guard was not there during the day so rachel could enter the village freely.if there was no way she would be banned from entering.
the towering golden roofed pagoda is an icon of village tourism. rachel used to play there.it was forbidden to enter by children.
the air is still genuine, there is no pollution or other air pollution.rachel breathed a long breath to ensure the fresh air.
"it's still the same as when I left her" rachel murmured.
rachel continued driving. she briefly met her childhood while passing in front of the pagoda. "hello daniel..!!" shouted rachel.
the alim-clothed man named daniel.he's a good friend of rachel time sd. but now their relationship is stretched because daniel wandered into the city during bc.
"rachel..! you came home..?!"
rachel turned her vehicle back towards Daniel. Her male friend immediately hugged rachel, making rachel a little surprised.
"i can't believe it's you. your makeup is a little bit but you look so pretty."
daniel patted rachel's shoulder many times.
"yes I'm lucky to have such a high-class face.Daniel, did you know my mother was sick?"
"astaga... I don't know. I will visit with flowers and cakes later." said daniel.
"my mother isn't dead yet. Why are you carrying flowers." rachel dismisses cynically.
daniel was surprised to see rachel's attitude. turns out she is still the same as before, she still considers Daniel as her best friend.
"hahahahaa, you are still the same as you used to be. Then I will bring you cakes and syrup.your mother's favorite food and drink.", "and your favorite too, rachel." continued Daniel in his heart.
"then I go first. My mother is home, she's very sick." rachel gas-stamped, her house is not far from the pagoda.
rachel's eyes were wide open when she saw the empty land filled with piles of wood and triplex.as she remembered in that place once stood a board that protected her from the heat and cold of the day. in the land, he also spent hours combing and braiding his hair.
rachel lamented over the rubble pile. "what happened to the earthquake last night? did you forget to turn off the gas canister so there was an explosion? rachel could not guess what had happened to her house.
first her mother was very sick, now her house was flat on the ground.The two calamities came together.Rachel called her father's number, but the one who picked up her phone was her omnya.
"hello, where are mom and dad now?" rachel bites her finger in a panic, giving her the address where her new parents live.The address points to the next village not too far through the forest.
arriving in front of the archway of the village rachel saw a construction project that seemed to have just begun. when viewed from the design it looks like it will be a house.
strangely the address given by his uncle leads to a simple contract seen from outside its size is quite small.rachel will not forgive himself if his parents really live in that small place.
"dad, mother," call rachel with a simple tap on the obsolete front door.
someone opened the door and it was his uncle.
"entrance rachel. Don't make a fuss, your mother is dying" said her uncle.
rachel did not believe her uncle's words.not until she saw it for herself.on the low bed, the mother's body lying weak and thin dry like withered leaves.
rachel's heart was not strong to see her mother's condition of concern. rachel knelt down and approached her mother's mattress.
"why did you become like this? though a week ago the mother was healthy." rachel could not hold back her tears.just had the goddess fortuna accompany her, now she had to go back to feeling the unexpected bitter.
nein the cat rubs his head into the hands of rachel's mother, who sees him bothering her mother, lifts the cat up.
"miaw miaww"
nein continues meowing. Do not want the mother disturbed rachel was out of the room while holding nein.
when she opened the door, Rachel was surprised to see a birthday cake with a candle bearing 20 on a table that had not been there before.
rachel later realizes that the cake is for her. But rachel's birthday is still 5 days away.rachel does not understand what is going on. Suddenly cheers are heard from the direction of the living room on the right side of rachel.
rachel turned her head and she saw her mother, father, uncle, and aunt miranda there and her childhood friends except Daniel.
"happy birthday rachel...!!!!"
rachel turned to her mother in the room and then to her mother in the living room, she did it over and over again until she understood what was happening. no one is dying and no artificial tears need to be dropped.
nein leaps from rachel's arms, wipes her tears and accepts her real mother's embrace.
"who's in that room, ma'am?" ask rachel.
"it's a prosthetic doll. You're shocked ya."
***
explanation, about what happened to rachel today. In the perspective of her parents, they planned to hold an impromptu birthday party for rachel. the birthday party is held 5 days before rachel's actual birthday.
before the party began, the father prepared an epic prank using his own prosthetic doll.usut had the father's mouth using money hundreds of millions of rachel giving to open a prosthetic doll manufacturing business.
the ability to sculpt rachel's father is on the next level, even though the father never learned to sculpt statues, but in one try to sculpt it turns out he has a natural talent equivalent to a professional statue maker.
this talent is then made into a field of business by the father.and the first bineka made by the father is a doll in the form of his dying mother.
"i slapped your father 2 times while showing him this terrible wax doll" his mother said.
rachel rubbed her chest.although she was about to scream, rachel had cooled her head. Her birthday party was held faster because her om would leave for Singapore in 3 days. even so, the father promised to celebrate rachel's birthday again on the original date.
daniel came to bring gifts. cakes and syrup as he promised.other friends had laughed at Daniel for bringing a very cheap gift.
"even if it's cheap, sweet food can make you happy" said daniel as he handed the basket containing the gift to rachel.
rachel received whatever the prize was with her usual sweet smile.Daniel and the other male friends who saw her blushed in embarrassment.
somehow after that rachel mastered chat.her knowledge of the adult world is very outside.she became a business mentor for her friend who will enter work.rachel confident when at home.
rachel introduces her cat nein, but is not cared for. rachel is sad no friend who likes cats like her.sadly ignored nein went under the chair to rest after a long trip.
"rachel, do you have a boyfriend?" ask a girl friend to represent men who are curious about rachel status.
that's a sensitive question in rachel's ears, considering her relationship with Arqan is currently very unique and special.
"yet, but there's someone I like."
"hhhh so, hopefully you get a good boyfriend huh. and a good husband too."
the friendly girl was named astrid.among the other village children she and Daniel were the closest to rachel.
***
raining down with heavy. friend rachel soon home because you have to be aware of the tide that can cause flooding.
rachel sits in the living room, while her mother prepares her meals.Rachel remembers the last time she ate her mother's cooking.
rachel hastily takes over the kitchen before the terrible cuisine is created again.it is not because of anything, the mother has forgotten how to cook because of a disease.
at lunch so rachel took the plates and the glasses, poured the daniel syrup, then the little family ate together after a long time.
after eating, the father asked who the man she liked, rachel glanced at his father's face, and if rachel's serious face wouldn't answer.
"just answer nanda," his mother's orders.rachel called ananda if there's only him and his parents.
"actually rachel has a taste with the boss. boss arqan."
the eyes of the father and mother were fixed entirely to rachel. rachel also told the details of her relationship with arqan during this time.also their 3-year promise.father and mother looked at each other and asked for time for discussion both. rachel turned her body around.
"turning Ananda's body." his mother's orders.
"we've decided whether or not you'll approve of your relationship" the father spoke seriously.
"you and your girlfriend make a unique promise.if according to the experience of father and mother, it is likely that when that time comes you will marry arqan.of course it is not certain."
"but if Arqan is a good boy like you said, father and mother hope... "
"...you keep a good relationship with him."
that's what rachel wants to hear.the blessing of her beloved mother's father. Now her future life is guaranteed.at least for now.
her father and mother smiled at rachel. rachel asked why their house was in a rage.
"not evicted, but the land was given by the government. because they are our homes that are full of memories evicted.fortunately our farm green land is not evicted." explained his father.
rachel is upset to hear that, even though the eviction was accompanied by compensation money, it was still detrimental.
the father hides a big surprise for rachel. During the wet day, Rachel, her father, and her mother set off to the construction site that rachel saw in front of the archway.
"it's our new home" said the father, pointing to construction.
rachel did not expect that she would and her mother would use the money to buy a house.
"daddy and mom still have money?" ask rachel.
seeing the worried face of her son the mother also said. "there is still ananda. You do not have to worry about us. it is precisely we who are worried because it leaves you alone." the mother holds the shoulder of her child.
"father is not worried because there is a brother-in-law miranda and boss arqan" said the father. rachel can calm down now.
"before you go you want to meet a batok and crisp no? both chickens have been laying eggs lately."
her father took rachel to their farm. rachel refused subtly because she had to go home at 6 am. Arqan bosses always needed her help.
rachel goes to bed at 11pm after talking to her father.Rachel doesn't want to sleep too late because it will make her wake up late.
rachel's room is next to the neighboring chicken coop, so that when the chicken crowed rachel was immediately awakened.
the tap water died every morning to overcome the problem the father drew water in the well behind the house every day.The water made rachel shiver cold.
finished preparing to ready rachel pampit to both parents.the father had asked for arqan number and rachel gave it.
rachel was gas but in the middle of the road she was surprised because Nein and her cage were not in the back seat.
while rachel celebrates her birthday yesterday, Arqan has a unique day.
