The next day Rain ventured out of his room. Rain looked at the entire house that all looked simple, no luxurious items.
Rain chose to go to the terrace of the house, on the terrace there was Arkana who was sitting while reading a book.
Rain came to Arkana and sat beside Arkana. Arkana just glanced at Rain and then moved and gave a little distance between herself and Rain. Rain smiled faintly at Arkana's attitude.
" Where are your mom and dad ? I didn't see them inside ? " ask Rain.
" They were my grandmother and grandfather, they were in the cottage and were teaching "Akana replied regardless of Rain, she was still focused on reading her book.
Rain smiled again at Arkana's attitude, seeing Arkana's attitude made Rain anxious.
" You're here to look after me ? " ask Rain back.
" No "answer Arkana briefly.
" Where are your parents ? ask back.
" My Ummi and Abi are not there, they are working in the city" Arkana replied.
Rain only smiled as he nodded his head.
" I want to meet your grandfather ? you want to drive me ? " pinta Rain's.
Arkana fell silent and closed the book, after which she looked at Rain. Arkana saw Rain so healthy today, Rain's face did not look pale anymore either.
" Well" said Arkana and then moved from her seat.
Rain smiled again and walked after Arkana.
Rain walked side by side with Arkana, Rain watching his surroundings. Not far from Abah Rahman's house, Rain saw many small houses where the santri slept and stayed. There were some buildings that looked like schools too, there was one mosque, and also a few more that Rain had no idea what the building was for. Rain can also see a small field where there are some students who are practicing soccer.
Some Santri saw Arkana and Rain, they whispered and talked to each other, they whispered to each other about Rain and Arkana whose faces were very similar. You could even say they look like a father and son.
" This is a boarding school? " ask Rain.
" Yes "back Arkana just answered briefly what Rain asked.
" Our grandparents' and yours ? " ask Rain.
" Yes "Askana replied.
Rain eventually becomes upset that Arkana only answers her questions with one word.
" Wait a minute" said Rain.
Arkana stopped his steps. Rain crouched down and twisted Arkana's body to look at it.
" You're afraid of me ? " tanya Rain, holding both arms of Arkana.
" No "
Arkana felt different things as Rain rubbed his head. Arkana misses the figure of a father.
" Said Ummi, be a man who does not talk much. Speak as is but means, and Ummi said, I should not talk much with strangers " explains Arkana.
Rain snorted annoyedly, "again Ummi said, again said Ummi, just look at your Ummi has come later. I'll tell her how to educate the right child "inner Rain.
" I'm not a stranger, am I not a guest in your house ? "
" Arkana BEWARE.....!! " shouted one of the students.
Seeing a large ball approaching Arkana and wanting to hit Arkana, Rain immediately turned his body to protect Arkana, and Rain's back hit the ball.
" You're okay ? sorry "
Some of Santri who was playing ball approached Rain and Arkana. Arkana just kept quiet and looked at Rain as Rain tried to protect her.
" No, we're fine. Next time be careful "pinta Rain.
" Okay uncle, Arkana forgive brother yes "
" Yes" Akana replied.
Some of Santri left Arkana and Rain after they apologized.
" You're okay, right ? ask Rain .
" No, thank you Uncle, for saving me" Arkana said.
Rain smiled at Arkana's thanks.
" That's called quick reflexes, next time you have to learn from me. To be able to move quickly in every way to avoid such danger " rain prided himself on feeling Arkana had never been taught such a thing from his parents and this time Rain felt victorious.
Arkana just smiled faintly hearing what Rain said. A faint smile that not even Rian could see.
Rain and Arkana continue their journey.
" What's over there, Arkana ? " ask Rain.
" That's a Dormitory or a place to stay for a lady santri, Uncle "
" Oh.it turns out this place is quite spacious as well" said Rain.
" That's grandfather's voice, it looks like grandfather is in the mosque" Arkana said, walking ahead of Rain.
Rain only followed Arkana's steps until they reached the mosque. Seen Abah Rahman is teaching teaching to some Santri.
Rain entered the mosque with Arkana, Arkana and Rain sitting in the back while waiting for Abah Rahman to finish teaching njai.
Rain's heart felt cool and serene when he heard the melodious voice of the santri children who were teaching. Rain also looked around the mosque, immediately Rain's eyes glazed over, after a long time he set foot back into the mosque. Rain also recalled Annisa, in the past when on the way and prayer time arrived, Annisa always asked to stop at the mosque, and Rain could only wait outside , do not come with Annisa to pray. Indeed Rain was a bad priest, Rain could not guide and exemplify the good for his wife Annisa. Rain came back to himself.
