Mahligai Butterfly
CHAPTER 3

Twenty minutes passed, Kay finally started her car and exited the parking area. Kay stopped her car in front of the hotel, she still had not given up. His finger dancing nari on the steering wheel of the car signifies his patience as thin as a tissue. Not long after, a girl appeared from the direction of the gate. She is Reyya, the girl who was the target of her bet with Dion.

Kay opens her car and gets out, she stops Reyya. Reyya was a little surprised to find Kay approaching him.

Kay hesitated a little and was silent for a moment. Reyya was also speechless not knowing what the man was wanting.

"I'll take you, get on!" Kay gathered her courage to melt her awkwardness.

"Thank you sir. But I can go home by myself" Reyya tried to reject Kay's invitation.

"Relove. Let's just say it's pay for your carelessness" Kay started to push a little.

"But you are the one who is harmed. Why did you have to drive me?" Reyya was a little surprised by Kay's attitude.

"Get it!" Kay opened the door and slightly pushed Reyya in.

Forcibly, Reyya sat down and felt that something was wrong with Kay's attitude. Kay got in and started driving her car. Reyya just fell silent not knowing what to start talking about. Kay did not look at it one bit. He just focused on driving his car.

At the crossroads, Kay drove her car which was supposed to turn. Reyya who was starting to feel strange finally made a sound.

"This is not the direction of our house, sir"

Kay looked at him for a few seconds, but he answered nothing and continued to focus on driving.

"Sir!" Reyya began to feel something was wrong with the cold man's attitude that was beside her.

"Sir!" once again Reyya tried to resuscitate Kay.

"How much were your rates last night?" kay surprises Rey with her question.

Reyya looked at Kay with flaming eyes, but Kay just stared straight at the street.

"What do you mean sir? Put me down here!" Reyya was annoyed by what she had just heard.

Kay smiled sinisterly as she continued to stare at the road.

"alright. You can ask for anything after your work is done"

Kay's words only made Reyya even more annoyed.

"Stop the car here. I'm going down!" Reyya began to feel very angry.

Kay doesn't care, she keeps driving her car towards her apartment.

"You didn't hear. Put me down here! I'm not the woman you think I am! You're wrong sir!" Reyya already could not bear Kay's indifferent attitude towards her.

"Everyone knows your job. You don't have to be ashamed just because we're neighbors." Kay's words only add to Reyya's anger.

Kay's car went into the apartment parking area. He stopped his car and stared fixedly at Reyya. An angry Reyya looked back at him and opened the car door, but it was locked.

"What do you want sir?"

"What question is that? Isn't it clear what I said. You'll make a lot of money without having to share it with the hotel. Am I too good?"

"It turns out you're no different than all the fucking guys who come to the hotel. Is that your goal to make money? Unfortunately you brought the wrong person. You won't get anything from me. Open car! I'm going downstairs. You're really wasting my time"

Hearing Reyya's words, Kay brought her face closer to Reyya's.

Reyya gasped and gulped when she heard what Kay had just said. The girl did not expect Kay to still remember the incident.

Reyya's tears arrived at her cheeks, she was bowed with shame.

"I may have been so poor that I stole from your house. But I didn't sell my body for money" with Reyya's bowed face softly.

Kay rewinded her face and sat back down to her position, she slightly regretted having brought the incident up. Kay was silent for a while before finally opening the door. Reyya immediately got down and walked away from the parking lot. Kay follows him from behind, she pulls Reyya's hand and gives him some red money sheets.

"Take this to pay for a taxi!"

"no need. I still have money and don't need your money!" Reyya let go of her hand and ran away from Kay.

.............

Arriving home, Reyya is greeted by her mother.

"You're home this late? Must have been a lot of money. Where's mom's ration?" ratih said after Reyya closed the door.

Reyya who was hurt in the heart could not hold back her tears anymore. He ran into the room with tears. He chased her from behind.

"Have you forgotten your promise?" yelled, Sirih, from behind Reyya's door.

Reyya covered her face with a pillow and cried as she pleased. Feelings of destruction continue to repeat in his life, whether until when his life will shine as bright as in his dreams.

The night is getting late. Reyya fell asleep in her grief, hoping tomorrow would be better.

"Dorrr dorrr dorrr" the sound of the door banging felt very disturbing.

Reyya woke up from her sleep, she saw the sunlight from the slightly opened curtains. It felt like he had been asleep for a while.

"Rey... Reyy.." shouted Ratih's mom from behind Reyya's bedroom door.

With a lazy feeling Reyya got up from her bed and opened the door.

"Where's money. Your sister wants to go to school. You're good at sleeping!"

Reyya walks back to her bed and looks for her bag. He opened the envelope given by Mr. Rio and took out ten pieces of red-colored money then handed it to his mother. Madam Ratih counted the money Reyya gave with a disappointed face.

"You kidding?"

"I can only give you that much this month ma'am, my needs are also many!"

"Oooo you're good at fighting mom! Do you feel rich now?"

"Mom. Help u! I'm not arguing with mom" Reyya shut the door of her room hard.

"Basic son of a fucking carrier!" ratih ma'am from behind the door.

Reyya was sitting drowning behind the door. He hugged his knees while weeping again for his fate. Five minutes passed, Reyya still did not move from behind the door. His eyes stared blankly at the window. Reyya got up and flicked through the shabby curtains of her bedroom window.

The cool air of the morning greeted the skin of her face that was soft and wet by tears. Reyya stared at the wall fence that stretched in front of her room. The wall was the barrier to his house and the house of young master Kay. Like heaven and earth, the three-story house stood majestically beside his house. The large window windows adorned the palace walls.

Reyya flinched from her daydream and walked out of her room towards the bathroom. After entering the bathroom, Reyya's eyes immediately landed on the dirty laundry basket. Just yesterday afternoon the dirty basket was empty and relieved, but today the basket was filled again. Reyya let out a long sigh and walked past him. He undressed his messy uniform because it was worn to sleep.

Dipper for the sake of flowing water gives freshness to the body reyya.
