PAIN (Renjun)
Eps. 8

       Reyhan woke up from a long sleep. Two days have passed since her father left with Tania, her mother. Even during these two days he also never met his three brothers. He hopes to meet Vino and Saga at school. I wish that what my father said was honesty. But her hopes were broken when she did not meet any of her family members for two days.

      They seem to be lost in the earth. Reyhan knew that he was foolish to hope that what his father said was honesty when he heard the truth.

"Kok early in the morning I miss the ciloknya mang Ucok....???"

"Am I actually demen ma mang Ucok times huh?"

"It means me......"

Plaques

     Reyhan was shocked when his cheek had just been slapped by the wind.

"Hey, playing slap!!! Potatoes invisible eyes are good at playing slap-slap carelessly. I fired ntar from home. Lo on hanging out in front of the shop Mr. Samsudin. All of you help Mr. Samsudin sell. I pesen iced tea warm glass do not use tea do not use water. Must be sweet no more sweet." Reyhan stared fiercely at his surroundings.

'Nyerocos bae nih son of one. I'm tangelemin in the closet finished your history.'

Wush......

      The wind blew through Reyhan. The house suddenly became very cold.

"Cold bet yak...."

"Oh yes dawn-body..cold pantes...." Reyhan nenepuk is slow.

"Well, you go find money. I want to go to school first. Let you-you all I can invite to my graduation ceremony with pride. Bye....." Pamit Reyhan on 'invisible creature'.

At school

"Rayhan!!!"

"Uncle???"

"How are you?" "My news is good uncle. Uncle's news?"

"My news is good too. You alone here? Not with Haikal?" David asked when he saw Reyhan alone in the cafeteria.

"Ah Haikal is in a meeting with the other PMR members." Answer Reyhan.

"What is school?" Ask Reyhan quietly.

"I'm taking care of the company file. Just so you know, your principal is my business partner." Answer David.

"Sir Basuki? Uncle's business buddy?" David nodded his head.

"The world is narrow....." David approached Reyhan and whispered something.

"Can I go with my uncle after school?"

"Where?"

"In company of uncle met with Kinan."

"Uncle wants to see auntie why take me?"

"I wasn't just going to meet Kinan. But also his parents. If you come along, their attention will be on you and they won't discuss the engagement plan between uncle and Kinan."

"Uncle is using me?"

"I'm asking you for help."

"What's the reward?"

"You're asking me for a reward? Even when I've helped you more than once?"

"Handling uncle. I understand that uncle doesn't know I'm joking. Parents never know what young people are doing."

"You said I was old?" David asked as he scrunched his forehead.

"Uncle feeling?" Reyhan looked at David with a plain look.

"No." David's Refutation.

"Yes already. Rey went back to class uncle. When it's done, Rey will send an SMS to uncle. Just chill. This time I helped uncle without any reward. I'm a good kid, right?" Reyhan walked away from David.

"Hmmm yes you're a good boy. Uncle go first...."

"Good afternoon aunt....."

"Just like David. Oh you brought someone behind you?" Tanya Andrian Vishnu Adijaya, father of Kinan Putri Adijaya.

"Please sit down first." Take Claritha, Kinan's mother.

"He who is David? We never seem to have met him." Ask Andrian.

"D-he's my son o'm aunty." Reyhan glared sharply at David. I don't know what the man is planning. Reyhan obviously did not want to interfere. He only intends to accompany David to meet Kinan's parents, not get involved in their relationship.

"Kids? Aren't you yet"

"He's my adopted son o'm." David answered quickly.

"Ah so. Thank goodness I thought you did something we didn't expect to do before." Claritha.

"He looks so funny David. What's name?" Claritha asked David. Reyhan was still staring at David with a sharp gaze. David stepped on David's left foot.

'Aduh..nih awe-inspiring people anyway..ngapain also said if I was his adopted child...pakai menggajek feet I all...awas aja later I bales lo.' Inner Reyhan.

 "David?"

"Eh aunt. Rey, let's introduce yourself." Said David while gently rubbing Reyhan's head.

"Ehm introduce my name is Reyhan....."

"Call grandma and grandpa, kid." Claritha.

"My name is Reyhan nek kek...."

"Good name, son. Reyhan what class is he in?" Ask Andrian.

"Class 2 SMP cake." Answer Reyhan slowly.

"really? Grandma thought you were still an Elementary School student....." Claritha slightly chuckled at Reyhan's reply. While Jay's son just smiled awkwardly at Claritha's words.

"Kinan, take Reyhan around our house. Mama's gonna cook us dinner together." Tell Claritha to Kinan, her son.

"Eat dinner together?"

"Yes, to celebrate Reyhan's presence....." Andrian answered while tightly embracing the younger shoulder.

'If my family could believe my presence.....'

"Rey come with Kinan first, son...."

"Let's go with auntie around the house...." Bring Kinan.

"Wait..."

"Rey's trying to get Kinan's mother." Pinta Claritha to Reyhan. While the teenager just frowned confused with the words of Kinan's mother.

"Mama.don't listen to him Rey." Kinan

"You why the hell. Mama's people just want to see you're fit not yet to be a mother." Claritha was upset with Kinan.

"But not so much ma....."

"Tell me what my mom said. Doesn't Rey mind, too, dear?" Claritha asked Reyhan.

'This is why so gini try.....' Inner Reyhan.

"E-no granny." Reyhan replied nervously.

"Yes now try to call Kinan as mother." Claritha. Reyhan glanced at Kinan and David in turn.

'I think my plan failed again....' Inner David.

      David nodded his head allowing Reyhan to call Kinan mother. Same with Kinan.

"B-can-nda......"

DEG!!!

     Somehow Kinan felt a difficult feeling to describe. He smiled at Reyhan. This was the first time he had been called that way. 'Mother' Kinan will remember this until the end of his life.

"Why diem? In bales dong Reyhan......"

"Eh i - iya ma. A-ayo Rey round the house with a mother....." Take Kinan to Reyhan. He grabs Reyhan's shoulder slowly and takes him away from his father, mother and David.

"Aunt Kinan sorry....."

"Why apologize?" Kinan asked as he frowned.

"I'm sorry to call aunty mother." Lirih Reyhan's.

"Ah is okay. L like it. You can call me that name. No need to apologize." Answer Kinan.

"But-"

"I think it'll be exciting. You call me 'mother' especially when my friends hear it." Kinan said with a soft laugh imagining the events that might happen.

"B-mother....."

"May I call the aunt with that call onward?" Ask Reyhan quietly.

"Of course I can. Besides I'm proud to have such a cute and handsome son like you." Kinan replied with a sweet smile towards Reyhan.

"Does my mother have any brothers?" Reyhan asked curiously. He never saw any other photos besides Kinan, Andrian and Claritha.

"I have an older brother. But he's long gone. And he left because of a mistake I made in the past." Kinan replied smiling wryly considering the incident where due to his mistake, his brother had to go far away.

"Sorry mother....Rey didn't mean to"

"Let's go to the little zoo behind the house. You'll be happy to see all kinds of animals in there....." Take Kinan to the younger ones. Reyhan followed Kinan's steps which were in front of him. He was amazed by the interior and exterior of the Andrian Nugroho family home.

      After nearly hours spent with Kinan, Claritha called the two of them to clean up and have dinner together.

"Reyhan what do you want to eat, son? Sorry grandma doesn't know Reyhan's favorite yet." Ask Claritha. Reyhan was slightly shocked to hear what Claritha said. Really, this was the first time for him to face a situation like this. He was happy when someone noticed him. Especially from his grandparents.

      He was envious of his school friends. They always tell how beautiful the holiday with their grandparents. But Reyhan could only be speechless to hear their story that sounded very interesting. Reyhan wanted to feel how the interaction between grandchildren with grandparents and grandparents. Because all this time, he never even met his grandmother. He had met his grandfather, but ended up almost floating his life.

"Reyhan's daydreaming son?"

"Ah t-no grandma. Reyhan likes it all. Except vegetables...." Reyhan replied while pointing towards the soup bowl filled with all sorts of vegetables.

"Young people today. At least you should eat vegetables, kid, even if only a little." Claritha.

"Look, your dad really likes vegetables." He pointed at the plate in front of David.

'Dad??? What the hell else....' Inner Reyhan.

"David, try to get your child to eat a little vegetable is okay. He must grow up healthy." Claritha whispers to David. With doubt, David tries to grant Claritha's request.

"Rey, don't you want to try eating the vegetables? Just a little papa, son." Ask David slowly. However, when David asked there was a strange feeling that Reyhan felt.

      Legs hurt. Yes, when asked David stepped on David's left foot. Not forgetting his eyes that sent a message.

"I-iya. This is Rey trying." Reyhan replied nervously.

"Let Kinan alone take for the granddaughter of grandmother. Let's go Kinan."

"I ma?"

"Who else?!"

"Eat a lot Rey....." Kinan said while giving a spoonful of vegetables to Reyhan's plate.

"Thank you bun...."

"Yes are the same."

"You're home alone?" Ask David on the way. They head to the Adhitama mansion, where Reyhan lives.

"Hm. Bi Minah at this hour has also come home uncle." Reyhan replied while putting his phone in his pants pocket.

"Aren't you going to go to uncle's house?" Ask David.

"Rey's a big uncle. Not a child." Reyhan replied annoyed.

       "I'm just worried about you. In such a big house, what if there are criminals eyeing the contents inside? You could be in Rey's danger." David said with his eyes still focused on the streets.

"I can fight them. Uncle just take it easy." Reyhan replied with a gentle smile towards David.

       After a long journey, the two men arrived at the mansion owned by Jay Adhitama.

"Come in, uncle will leave after seeing you enter the house."

"Thank you uncle. Today Rey can feel how beautiful it is to get the attention of grandparents."

"Either. Next time we'll be there again together. Quickly go in, the air outside is very cold."

"Yes-yes, uncle was once a human being."

      Reyhan put his foot inside the house. After making sure Reyhan got in safely. David immediately started the engine of his car and left from there.

"What did I do first?" Reyhan Monologue.

"Papa and the others must be another holiday party. Guenya trying to fill free time before going to bed."

"Auntie doesn't want to see Reyhan anymore? Beautiful aunt you know yesterday wearing a shiny white dress like yesterday. I would like to have a twin dress from my aunt. Do I buy the cloth now? I asked the tailor for help. But buy where try a cloth that good. Where is so soft."

"Papa inget Reyhan is not there. What's with Sagara there, papa's happy enough?" Reyhan chuckled softly.

"Lu bodo is a person. It's clear papa loves Saga. And you know enough that your position here is worthless Rey. Lo's not papa's son. Don't expect more. Don't be a man who doesn't know himself." Reyhan's monologue in front of a glass that shows itself.

"Ma, Reyhan dear mama. May my mother also love Reyhan. Sorry if Reyhan was naughty to be a child. Difficult to ask to eat. Bathing should be a chase. Especially if you have met moomin, beuh can wait for centuries. Rey keinget first when Rey playing with her son Jupri next door neighbor, kept Reyhan nyungsup to got. Mama was the first person to help Rey. You know what Rey Rasain was at the time? Reyhan is very happy ma. No matter Rey's fall or injury, Rey is just happy because she's worried about Rey. But I think now Rey should limit herself to wishing more to mama and all of you." Reyhan poured out his heart tonight.

"What's with me go...all your grief can be gone? And happiness will always be on your side? If so, Reyhan is sincere to go ma pa...."

Tok tok.....

      Shortly after busying himself with his feelings, Reyhan heard someone knocking on the main door. He immediately ran over to open the door.

"Wait....!!!" Reyhan shouted as he ran towards the main door.

Blams....

      Suddenly the lights in the entire mansion went out by themselves. Reyhan jumped in shock as his gaze suddenly turned pitch-black. Luckily, he had a cell phone in his pants pocket. Reyhan immediately turned on the flash from the pons.

      He walked slowly to check on the situation outside the house. He wondered if there were power outages out there, or if his house was just out. Reyhan's steps suddenly came to a halt when he sensed that someone was behind him. And without Rey realizing it, the person managed to drag Rey's body back into the house.

     The mansion's state was still pitch-black. Reyhan could see nothing. But he felt sure that in the room there was not only himself, but there was also someone else in the same place as him.

BUGH!!!

"Akh...." Reyhan's body suddenly bounced towards the wall. It feels really painful. Reyhan tried to stand up.

BUGH!!!

BUGH!!!

BUGH!!!

"Akh...." However, before he could stand up again, there was suddenly something hitting his shin with something hard.

"WHO'S THERE?!!!" Rey's anger can't be controlled anymore. But in this position he can't do much. The lights that never light up make it difficult to fight the sudden attack that happened to him.

"Hand him!!!"

      Reyhan's body stiffened instantly. No, Reyhan is not ready to fight them in the dark.

BUGH!!!

Prangs....

BUGH!!!

'P-papa to-please Rey.....'

Prangs.....

"God, I'm sorry I accidentally. I shouldn't have taken it off first. Is it okay?"

"It's okay baby, I-I'm fine. Just my hand was hit by a little hot water." Jay replied a little nervous as a result of the incident that just happened.

"Alright, let me treat your hand first. I'm gonna clean up this shard...." Tania said slowly.

'Why suddenly my feelings become bad huh.' Inner Jay.

"It's over. Um can I say something mas?" Tania asked while looking seriously at her husband.

"Of course I can, baby. Tell me, what do you want to ask me about?"

"Why did I feel so bad since the incident was yes mas...why do mas feel the same?" Ask Tania slowly. He looks very agitated. His face that looked uncomfortable was so clearly visible.

"No dear, I-I don't feel anything. Maybe it's the exhaustion effect of our long journey baby. Get some sleep, let me get the employees here to clean it up." Jay said slowly. His hands gently combed his wife's mane.

     Jay lied, he felt the same way as Tania. But he chose to cover it up. She was afraid of making Tania worry more.

'Why am I always thinking about Reyhan? Is the boy okay?' Inner Jay.

"Where are the house guards? Why does it look so lonely?"

      "E-eh t-lord Sa-saga? Master instead of going on vacation with the great Lord and Lady Tania?" Tanya bi Minah when she saw Sagara, Tania's son was standing right in front of the gate of the Adhitama mansion.

     "Eh bi Minah's. Yes, I came along. But bosen is really there. I don't know why I miss home. So Saga said to go back to them first." Saga replied with a friendly smile to bi Minah.

"Where are these nights from?" Ask Saga who feels strange with the gelagat from bi Minah. He looks very nervous when he meets Saga.

"Ah this aunt bought gallons of water up ahead. The gallon water at aunt's house is running out, sir." Answer bi Minah slowly. But his eyes looked like he was lying. Saga didn't think much of it. It might be Minah's personal business.

"Yes already bi, Saga entered first yes....." Pamit Saga on bi Minah. He immediately stepped his foot to enter the mansion.

     Not yet he entered too deep, Saga was startled by the mansion's wide open door. His gaze was fixed on the red liquid that was not far from the main door. Saga stepped closer towards the liquid.

'It's fresh blood. B-but who's this?'  Inner Saga.

"Is anyone here?!!" Ask Saga a little scream. But only silence can be found. His eyes were all over the room.

"Why is there blood on the wall?" Ask yourself.

"Reyhan....."

"REYAN!!!

" RISHAN!!! WHERE'S LO?!!!"

     Saga kept shouting calling Reyhan's name. But there's no answer for him. He immediately reached into his cell phone. Intended to call his stepbrother's number.

"Hello! Where's rey lo?"

"Who's this with?"

"Lo who is it? Why is my brother in Lo?"

"sorry. If it's true you're Reyhan's brother, please go to the address I'll send."

      After the phone disconnects, Saga gets a clue where Reyhan is now. With a hasty move, Saga immediately exited the mansion and went towards the address she had just received.

"All will be well. Reyhan's a strong boy. Nothing bad will happen."
