She stood up and leaned her back against the door of her room Ilene covered her face with her palms, she cried and continued to cry, crying,over time Ilene's body fell slowly because her legs began to limp and could no longer support her body
Finally Ilene sat down on the floor, she bent her knees and immediately hugged her knees she cried so hard that she wet her knees
Ilene looked ahead and looked towards the torrential rain
Ilene screamed loudly and the sound of crying was very loud, this was the first time Ilene had lost a loved one, and this was the first time Ilene felt such deep sadness
Ilene held onto her chest which was very painful, she beat her chest which was very tight, she held her head and turned her palms around all parts of her head,because ilene felt so pain she pulled her hair firmly she shouted again until her voice was almost gone

"kk manda called me earlier ma" replied felix
"manda?where does amanda know?"
"kk manda jg is close to the Lino family, and probably the younger brother of kk lino kk manda" Felix replied
Yani looks up, she is eager to approach her daughter but she has to leave ilene alone because she really does not want to be met by anyone
*********
The sound of relaxing music is heard from ilene, Ilene deliberately plays sad songs so that the sadness is reduced because for music ilene can calm the heart
Ilene lay on her bed in wet clothes, she did not care about her wet clothes, she held her phone in front of her face, the body of ilene facing to the side and bent her legs
Ilene followed the song, she sang in a hoarse voice, every time she sang her tears always came out, tone by tone and song by song she played and she sang,every song he sings always tears,but he let his tears fall without him wiping away the tears so that his bed was wet because it was filled with tears and rain water stuck to ilene's clothes
Ilene fell silent and got up from her bed, her head hurt so much, her eyes hurt so much because there were hours of crying
Ilene approached her window and looked up at the sky, her tears slowly falling from seeing the rain
"Lino, you said that if it rains at night there's something you want to tell me, I want to know what you want to tell me" she told the sky, Ilene recalled her memories with Lino
ilene sat next to her small closet, she opened the drawer and took a picture, Ilene looked at the photo with a cry but there was a smile on her lips,the photo was of Ilene and Lino when they were high school
he took a camera from the drawer and turned on the camera, he shifted the photos one by one, every time he shifted the photos on the camera, his tears always flowed with a wry smile, he said,she plays the video while singing with Lino, she starts laughing small but when in the middle of the video, the cry of ilene starts to break she starts crying again, she cries very long but the sound of crying is not too loud.
hour after hour, Ilene finally fell asleep in a wet state and sat beside the closet, Ilene did not realize that she was asleep because of fatigue.
