The chest that felt very tight forced Rida to pull over the car she was driving. A moment ago, Raydita's words echoed in Rida's mind.
Rida sleepily knocks her head on the steering wheel. The woman aged over 35 years was sobbing given the series of events that occurred in her life.
"Oh My God!" Rida returned to her original sitting position while rubbing her face rough many times.
Rida had hoped, Raydita will be a figure who is able to lead her to a more meaningful path. But, it's all free.
Dddrrt .. ddrrc.
Rida reached into her phone that was in the bag. Rida looks lazy when she sees the name on her phone screen.
"Hello, Vel."
"...."
"I'll reconsider, Vel."
"...."
"Yes, I know."
"...."
"OKAY. But keep this a secret from Rika's sister, please."
"...."
"He-em. Thank you, bye."
Rida took a deep breath. A thin grin was seen on his face. A grin aimed at himself.
Rida turned the wheel and continued on her way. Inevitably, he must reconcile with the destiny God wrote for him. After Sandy, Raydita, and now ....
"Hufts. I can definitely get through all of this" Rida muttered to herself.

The morning atmosphere at the Adisurya residence looks back as usual. The strangulation of Rianti's voice calling out the names of her children echoed inside the house.
One by one the family members approached Rianti in the dining room. Today, Rayhan and Annisa are back in school. Raydita will return to school next week.
"Come on, breakfast baby!"yells.
"Mom, Nisa can go with Brother Ehan?" ask Nisa slowly.
Rianti turned to Adisurya who replied to him with a smile.
"Your mother is afraid you're going again" continued Adisurya.
"No, Ma" said Rayhan.
"Promise yes," pinta Rianti and embraced by Rayhan. "Then, I can." Said later.
Raydita was silent while looking down. During this time, Rayhan never took Raydita to school with his motorcycle. But to Annisa, Rayhan behaved differently.
"Darling, is your medicine running out?" rianti asked Raydita.
"Yes, Ma. Another day," said Raydita.
"Tomple check up dong huh?" ask Rianti again. Raydita. "OK," said Rianti while presenting coffee to her husband.
After breakfast, Rayhan and Annisa say goodbye. Leaving Raydita and her parents in the dining room.
Rianti pulled the chair near Raydita and spoke softly to her while holding Raydita's hand.
"We, can you ask for something?" ask Rianti.
"What is that, Ma?" Raydita asked with a confused look. He even turned to Papa Adi who shrugged his shoulders slightly.
"We learn to forgive Aunt Rida. Mama means .. your birth mother. Try, just once, to have him explain everything. That doesn't change anything, honey. But at least you know the truth from your own mama. Yea?"
Raydita looked at the face of Rianti who was eating it too.
"We'll try, Ma. But not now. It takes time" Raydita said.
"Of course, hon. Whenever you're ready, it doesn't have to be now" Rianti said.
"Okay, Ma."
"Remember always we are your family" Adisurya said.
"Yes, Pa. Thank you," said Raydita.
Raydita bailed to her room. The look on his face was flat and occasionally sighed.
Dita wants to make peace with all this. He is afraid of losing Adisurya and Rianti's affection. That's why Raydita learned to get along with Annisa. But Rida ....
Her heart wasn't as big as Annisa's. Raydita is disgusted to remember who she is. There's nothing more to be proud of. Everything he has been looking for, it is not entirely his. Treasure, brother, even parents. It all belonged to Annisa.
Raydita's phone rang, Tasya made a video call and Raydita answered the call clumsily.
Raydita looks awkward when they do not meet in person.
"City ... Gu-go ...."
'Someone wants to talk about it.'
Raydita saw Mela beside Tasya. Mela seemed hesitant, but Tasya forced her to speak.
'Dit, sorry yes. I didn't mean anything bad before. I'm so sorry you doubted our friendship. Sorry, Dit. Are you the same as Om Adi? You're not being expelled, are you?'
Raydita looked at her two best friends who became misbehaved. Only this time could he stare at them this clearly. Raydita then lowered her head for a moment and raised her head again.
"Guys, I'm sorry. I misjudged you. Now I know, if you guys really want to win with me. Sorry," said Raydita slowly and lowered her head again.
'We're sorry, Dit. Isn't that right, Mel?'
'Yes, Dit. We're still in office, right?'
Raydita nodded with a faint smile.
'Uuh, so I want to hug.'
Tasya grabbed Mela's shoulders and made Raydita smile.
"Kok you guys haven't been to class yet? Stupid huh?" todong Raydita's.
'Dong 'nong. There are again meetings of the supervisory board and the school committee. Listen, he said Om Adi gave an order to replace the principal. Is that because of yesterday's video, Dit? Om Adi must be very angry to see Vio nampar Nisa, ' said Mela.
"Maybe," said Raydita slowly.
'When did you come in? I saw Brother Ehan with Nisa.'
"Monday ahead" Raydita said briefly.
'Toddle. We can go to Lo's house again?' tanya Tasya was hopeful.
Raydita nodded and made her two best friends happy.
'OKAY. Go home to school.'
"okay." Raydita's closing the call.
Raydita smilingly stared at the reflection of her face in the mirror. Annisa's right, she didn't lose anything. Not his family, not his best friend.

The return of Rayhan cs to school presents its own euphoria for the students in the school. No exception Isti. Today, Isti did not bring supplies and was sitting in the cafeteria with Annisa and Judah.
Isti stared in admiration at Rayhan who was not far from his desk. Some of the schoolgirls look spread charm and some even offer snacks to Rayhan, Ghaisan, and Raka.
"The bell ...," muttered Isti.
"If you like to talk dong, don't be pendam. Later new bumps know the taste," as well as Yuda.
"Kok bentol anyway? What is Ray Ant? But it's okay. I would be bitten if the ant is Brother Ray," said Isti slowly.
"Ish-ish," delik Yuda.
"Ray again look at you, too" seduced Yuda as Isti was replying to someone.
"Where?" Isti immediately turned his gaze to Rayhan.
"But bo-ong, haha ...." Yuda was wide-eyed, while Annisa gave her smile. Yuda's laughter made some students turn to them. Ashamed, Isti stomped on Judah's feet very hard.
"Aww, sick tofu," ringis Yuda is upset.
"Racaine. The laughter does not need to be wide," Isti grumbled.
"Yee who's mouth?" yuda Delik.
Seeing Isti's pouting face, Judah also intends to try it out.
"Ray! Greetings from-, mmpth." Isti moved quickly to silence Judah's mouth with his hand. The two perfectly rounded sweets looked at Yuda and beckoned the friend to be quiet.
"Who are you, Jud?" ask Rayhan.
Yuda's eyeballs move towards Isti, while Isti shook his head quickly while grinning and turned to Rayhan.
"Kok only Ray got the greetings? Do I not exist?" ask Raka.
"Lo got ginger, Ka," said Yuda half exclaiming.
"Dong angel, haha. That's next to Lo, don't you say hi to me?" raka asked who was addressed to Annisa.
"What the hell?" Raka brushed off the hand of Ghaisan who was shaking his head.
"Jealous to say," added Raka.
"Sotoy Lo" delik Ghaisan.
Rayhan and Raka gave a smile to see the appearance of Ghaisan's face that was wrong. Rayhan also gave Raka a thumbs up. I don't know what Rayhan meant, because Raka also gave a similar gesture to Yuda.
