See You Tonight
Chapter 216: The Past of Risal and Reza
"My age and Risal are 5 years apart. When he was a child, he was very active and loved to be outdoors. In fact, he will just go home to play when the sun has sunk," said Reza opened the story. "As with children in general, Risal also had so many friends. Once I was told by my mother to pick Risal up. When I got there, Risal looked so much fun. His smile at the time was very sincere, and so honest. You can even feel happy even if you only see the smile at that time. However, that was the last time I saw such a beautiful smile" Risal continued.
"Which last time? Meanin?" ask me curious.
"Yes, that was the last time I saw her smile that was so sincere and honest. After I picked her up that afternoon, we went straight home. But when we got home, our mom and dad got into a big fight. Even a few glasses and a vase of flowers were the victims of their debate, which ended in a great cry from mother and father. At that time, I had no idea what caused the two of them to argue so fiercely like that. At that moment, Risal was crying out. I who was next to him immediately hugged him tightly. I thought, I can't cry then. I also with all my might held back so that my tears would not come out. I want to look strong enough in front of the sister I love so much" replied Reza.
Cindy and I are just looking at it. We still don't know what to say for now.
"Since then, I've never been home again. The mother then became sickly often, and Risal also slowly turned into a child who is shy and more often alone. Of course, as a brother and son, I was really sad to see the condition of my mother and sister at that time. In the end, I couldn't do anything for them. Until one day when Risal had just entered 6th grade Elementary School, and I was in XI grade of High School, our mother died," said Reza, whose voice now sounded more and more tenuous and slightly trembling.
"Even at the funeral, the father still did not appear again. I don't know if that person still deserves to be called father or not. But obviously from the moment he left the house, I had never seen him again. After my mother's death, Risal and I lived with our grandmother. The grandmother we were referring to was the mother of our mother. Nene is a retired teacher, so Risal and I are living in a pretty mediocre state. Even so, I am very grateful that there are still grandmothers who can care for and finance us," continued Reza.

After Reza finished telling me about Risal and himself, I went straight home. After hearing the story from Reza, I became a little understood why Risal became a loner. My mind is still so ringing with dark stories of the past of Reza and Risal. In fact, I forgot that I haven't bought a single novel. I didn't expect that it turned out that Risal had a past that wasn't wearing.
Just as I got home, it rained and rained down on the city. This new rain is a heavy rain. His voice was very loud and heavy, but it was also accompanied by wind.
After entering the house, I went straight to Hana's room. I want to check how things are now. Is it better or not.
Arriving at Hana's room, it turns out that Hana is in a sleeping condition. Looking at his face, he looked better. I went straight upstairs to my room.
***
Monday 22 October, as usual this morning I went to school. I am grateful that Hana has also recovered and is ready to go to school. Luckily he was sick on holiday, so he did not have permission from his school.
Not much different from yesterday, the sky this morning also looks cloudy. After a rainy day, will it rain today? Therefore I have today anticipated what if it really rains with an umbrella.

When I got to class, I sat down on my seat. It was next to the leftmost row of seats and the fourth right in front of Ahsan's seat and to the left of Cindy's seat. For the person sitting behind Cindy is Alex who was previously Ruben's seat. While Ruben himself, his seat is right to the right of Alex's seat.
"Oi Lang, tumben you leave mepet gini," Ahsan said shortly after I sat down on my seat.
"Well, you can be like that too, huh? Hahaha I guess you. You mending still an umbrella that you do not meet, well I'm sure if you want to make nail clippers, surely there is no. I don't know why either. Though if again not kepake it even milling around everywhere," Ahsan said.
"Well, sometimes I'm rich, too" I replied.
***
Right now I, Ruben, Ahsan, Aji, Fahmi are in the cafeteria to spend our 2nd break.
"Who else is Calvin's way?" ruben said a little excited while pointing to the east there.
"Where, where, where, where."
"Eh yes. Who is that girl? Was that his girlfriend? Calvin's feelings no longer memedeketin anyone," said Fahmi.
"The basic traitor. How dare he walk with his girlfriend in front of us like this. Well this is my self-esteem feeling trampled," Ruben said.
"Don't you have any self-esteem, huh?" timpal Ahsan seems to be more concerned with the words of Reuben than Calvin who is walking with a woman.
"What did you say?" timpal Ruben with a rather high tone.
"Suuuushh. Shut up, look at Calvin as the woman now sits down and seems to be having lunch together. Well, did he deliberately choose a seat in front of it for our manas-manasin? How insolent of you Vin. I thought we were good friends" Fahmi said.
"Oi oi oi, be patient. Not necessarily the girl's boyfriend. It could be her lover, too" Ahsan said.
"WHAT A DIFFERENCEAAA BAMBANGGGG," Ruben timpal with a little bump on Ahsan's back.
