"Rey hasn't come home yet? " ask her papa Rey when she was just sitting in that breakfast chair. His wife did not answer, he was busy spooning rice dishes and side dishes.


"Mami.. "her papa Rey tried to open the conversation but was then held back when her mammoth eye Rey glanced at her rather cynically, like a gesture that her mama Rey was not in the mood to discuss anything.


"Eat it slowly" suggested Rey's papa, but his wife was indifferent.


Soon the door sounded open. Rey's father saw Rey enter the house and walk towards her room. He looks sleep deprived and still smells of drink.



"Rey." intercepted the papi while rising from his seat. Rey glanced at him as she stopped her steps, waiting for her papa to arrive in front of her.


" Where have you been drinking, where have you been eating? " ask the papa for attention


"Rey no longer has an appetite for pi. Rey wanted to sleep "elak Rey and then continue his steps, his papi back the dinner shirt, sat down and fell silent, he glanced at his wife again. He is also unrespectful. Rey's father called the waiter at their home and asked him to prepare a lunch under her youngest child's room.


Tok tok tok tok


The sound of knocking on the door of the room was clearly heard before the door of the room opened. Rey who was sitting at the end of her bed raised her head slightly and saw her papa coming to bring her food.


"You know when your brother was a kid, every time he took your mama papi always brought him a meal because he would go on hunger strike until his request was fulfilled" he told the audience, sitting next to Rey.


"Now papi realized, you are no different from your brother. "


"Rey's not hungry pi"


"Even if you're not hungry, you should still eat. If you don't eat how you can be strong against your mama"


"But don't remember mami? "


"The fire's known your mom for a long time. Even until the birth of your brother he still loved another man. And until last night I realized that your mom never forgot her. Papi feels funny, it's been that long but your mom still can't deal with it as an adult. Even she's more mature" her papi Rey said a little jokingly. Rey smiled in response and her papa was relieved of it.


"Rey. papi understands your feelings. Papi used to fight for your mother's love to die. Papi halalin a lot of ways that until now your mom didn't know. And because of that papi also wants you to be able to read this situation well. Rey. papi didn't ask you to break up with Miss, papi will fully support your decision. It's just.., please take care of mami. Please don't make him sick. Make papi, whoever will be your soul mate, he must be the best." said his papi Rey again while patting Rey's right shoulder. Rey nodded little and the papa left her.


"Hi." said Yuna kindly with a little smile when she just arrived at one corner of the basketball court where there was a gabriel who had just sat down. Gabriel immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.


"Sori yah suddenly asked you to come here" Gabriel said as he handed Yuna a bottle of soft drink.


"What is it. "


"Sit down first "


"Ah. yah." said Yuna a little nervously and then they sat side by side in one of the long chairs.


"So why did nich arrive suddenly without meeting? " ask Yuna embarrassed


"Ehmm.., it's okay. It's just not good to play alone here no one is cool"


"Later your boyfriend gets angry again"


"Who's girlfriend.., which girlfriend? " ask Gabriel as he grabs the ball in front of him.


"Aren't you dating the son of the head of the House anymore? "


"Hahahahaha, you girls these girls are really cheap well baper" Gabriel said with a funny laugh


"Baper...? "


"So you guys aren't dating Nich? " ask Yuna curiously. Gabriel looked at her seriously and she looked at Yuna close enough that Yuna was completely wrong.


" If you were, would you be my girlfriend? "ask Gabriel. Yuna's eyes widened for a while and then lowered her head.


"Don't do it, I'm a baper again" he said. Gabriel got up and stood in front of him. Gabriel smiled a little and started playing his basketball. Yuna then noticed him and the more she looked the more she fell in love. The figure of Gabriel who had been imagined just now in front of him even shot him unexpectedly. Yuna then posted some photos and live video of Gabriel playing basketball in front of her and showing it off in her ig. His friend responded by commenting.



"Mom.., how's Miss doing? " ask the father who just arrived in my room. They were standing not far from the door.


"Adi's checking on him, Adi says he'll get better soon "


"Thank God.. "


"What happened last night seems to make him very hit, I can't bear to see Miss like this sir. "


"He'll be fine soon ma'am.. "


"in. " call me when Adi is injecting drugs through my infusion tube.


"Well... "


"When can I go home? "


"Non. Stayed here for a few days to get treatment "


"Adi's.. "


"According, don't be ignorant" Adi advised again


"Mom and dad would suspect that I've been here a long time"


"If you truly love them, you must fight to heal. Instead of doing stupid things that endanger your own life. "


adi said again. I was silent as to why the person I just met was so persistent to heal me.


"I will find a way to explain it to your father and mother, now rest" Adi said again and before she left I grabbed her hand


"Thank you Di.., if there's no you I don't know what to do, thanks...."


"Here you are.., what has happened, even though it is so painful for you but it cannot be an excuse for you down. You have to be strong, remember your family. They're all very worried about you. "


"Why do I have to endure this karma?"


"Don't talk like that. Whatever it is, you have your own reasons. The one I know is very good. I'm sure om was devastated by this. If you get sadder, he will get sadder and blame himself. "


" It hurts me so much Di. "complaints me with eyes that start to look glassy. Adi stroked my back elus to comfort me and soon my tears broke again. Adi then sat down and leaned me on his chest.


"Just cry, let it be relieved." said Adi so understanding, father and mother saw it from the outside. They looked at each other and were moved.


"Luckily there is a son Adi yah sir, can meet him, give support" said my mother who joined in crying.


"Stupid in the hands of God, ma'am., TUhan must have chosen the best soul mate for our child"
