Not the First
Reyna Escape, Yeah!


In the morning, I was ready to go to the market. Pretty weird, really. Though the stock of detergent and fragrance for laundry is still enough for the next few days. So is the stock of vegetables and side dishes in the refrigerator also still there. Enough for the next two days.


Mom's intention this time was not to shop. He just wants to visit Aldy, his future mistress and confirm the whereabouts of Rey, his daughter.


"Night he did not come home. I lied to my husband. Could Aldy keep Rey from staying at his shop? If it is so. It's a very good development. They will soon be married. So it's okay if they get more intimate," thought the mother with a sumringah.


Mother turned on her motor gas, left the house followed by the sight of Dad who was exercising lightly and inhaling the morning air.


After driving Doni to school, the mother immediately gased into the hope store. He was so curious about the reaction of his future ex and how he could persuade Rey to spend the night with him.


Along the way, my mother smiled to herself. Her heart was overjoyed, soon her dream of getting a rich daughter-in-law would come true.


"Thank you,Rey. This time you really have become a good child" whispered the mother inwardly.


Arriving in front of the store, I found the atmosphere of the store so crowded. Many shoppers crowded the store. From where he parked his motorcycle, I could see Aldy and other employees who were so busy that no one noticed his presence in front of the store for a while.


"Why is Rey invisible? Is it possible that the boy is upstairs? Why didn't she help her future husband who was so busy this early in the morning? Is it possible that the boy is still sleeping? Bad habit after not going to school anymore" thought the mother hard.


One by one, the buyers who have got the items needed leave the store. But it has not been stretched, it has entered other buyers.


I know if this store is very crowded in the morning, but the new mother saw firsthand the atmosphere of Aldy's work this morning. Usually if you want to shop, mom comes around ten o'clock. The atmosphere of the shop was quite tense.


There were doubts the middle-aged woman had to enter the store. Other than her former candidate still being so busy, she also did not see her daughter around the room. I had the intention to visit this morning. In the afternoon he plans to return.


After considering some of these things, the woman turned her body and stepped towards the parking lot of her motorbike.


At the same time, a man came out from inside the shop with a tote in both hands. The biggest size black plastic bag is full of groceries. The man drove the buyer's belongings to a motorbike parked next to the mother's motorbike.


Mom Laura pulled the man's arm as soon as she finished dropping off the owner's luggage. Mother pulled Aldy's employees so that the presence was not visible from the direction of the hope shop. The man just remained silent and followed the direction of the woman who pulled his arm.


"What's wrong, ma'am?" He asked calmly to the woman who was still holding her arm. Yes, she knew this woman well as the mother of her boss' lover.


"I didn't see Rey in the store. Do you know where?"


"Since I've not seen Rey. Koh Aldy's been alone since morning,"


"Are you sure Rey's not upstairs?" Ask the woman, more curious.


"Yes Mom. I came first from Koh Aldy. When I opened the shop there was no one. Just the two of us. The others did come late because we were late last night. The goods from the agent came after Isya," he explained so detailed.


"Did Rey help you last night?"


"Rey was here last night, right?" Ask the woman again.


"No Ma'am. Rey's been home since noon and didn't come back until we finished moving things to the warehouse at eleven o'clock,"


Mom's getting freaked out. But he did not want his heart to be read by the man.


"alright. Thanks though. Please don't tell Aldy about what we're talking about. Later in the afternoon I'll see Aldy if the store has started to relax,"


"Please, please" he repeated


The man just smiled. He knew that there was something he was hiding and he didn't want his boss to know.


"Good Mom. Be safe" he replied in a firm and polite tone.


"I'll let you in first. There are still many buyers to serve,"


Without waiting for a response from Laura. The man lowered his head and swung his steps towards the hope shop where he worked.


********


Arriving at home mom surprised the residents. To the extent that the father swung his wheelchair approaching the mother.


"Nay, let's call Rey's friend who's on her phone list. Is Rey staying at their house" cried the mother as she handed her hand to her first daughter.


Nay immediately did as mom ordered. He opened Rey's phone and began to ask her whereabouts of his sister to his friends. Of the people who have been contacted, no one knows where Rey is. The mother who had not yet left the place grew even more angry


"What's up Mom. What's wrong with Rey?" Ask Dad in a stammer.


"Reyna's running away, yeah. I don't know where that kid who didn't know was lucky?"


"Did he not come home last night?" ask Dad again. Dad's getting confused. Last night he went to bed early due to the influence of drugs. He does know that Rey has not come home, but his wife says Rey has her show with her friends. Possibility of staying at Rina's house.


Mother did not answer. He dropped his body on the chair and incessantly took out an oath of absorbency on Rey. Although the father had calmed the woman many times by rubbing her shoulders, but did not cause it to calm down. He kept crying and occasionally peeling.


"However the boy was to me. Why is it so hard on me?" Oceh's mother was still with a loud tone and Isak cried.


"Already Ma. Calm down. Who knows, Rey is staying at her friend's house that we don't know yet. Hopefully the boy will return soon" persuaded the father. Although he panicked but he did not want to add to the anger of his wife.


Mom just shut up. He still regretted Rey's behavior that hurt him so much. He believes the boy ran away from home and will not return because Rey always tells him if he wants to stay or play at his friend's house. This time I am sure. Rey must have gone somewhere she didn't want to know.
