..."Mother, I met Father again. But now, the circumstances are forcing us to change."...
...Rayyan Chandra Arrega's...

Footsteps are getting closer. The house with shades of blue and white was heard crowded by footsteps and the voices of people who were in contact. The children were surprised to see many people who just entered their realm. And into a room with a white door and the words 'Danger, save your ears' hanging in front of the door. There was a short pause between them, before finally opening the door
The people with the pair of black and white suits just went inside the room. Appears to a teenage boy listening to music with a headset. Ray was surprised to see some men in black and white suits, just go into his room without permission.
"Hey hey hey..who are you?! I don't remember inviting you to my room! Get out of here, otherwise I'll call the cops!" Ray said in a panic, and began to rise from his place. Don't ask how scared he is when he sees a lot of people as if he can do anything to them.
"Relax young master, we won't hurt you. We're here on Mr. Chandra's orders. He wants you to stay in the Chandra family's main house back." Said one of them explaining.
Ray was still silent, unable to say anything. As he remembered, he and his mother left the big family home of the father 5 years ago. He did not know what made his mother leave her father. But clearly at that time, there was a great quarrel between the two. Until the mother went to bring herself. Far from the family reach of the father.
For 5 years, he lived in this orphanage. Instead, the mother should also help take care of the needs of the children in it. The mother gave up a lot of time to serve this place. Sometimes even his own son was left out.
Why is Grandpa looking for him now? Why only look for himself when the mother was gone some time ago? His head felt dizzy when many things filled his head cavity.
"Heard ya?! I'm not going with you guys! You're just gonna take me to that scary house! I won't go!" Ray threw them with everything there. Those people just shook their heads. Ray's attitude was unlike their other young masters. Because he is different.
...🍁🍁🍁...
The sepus filled his ear cavity. There was a fear that the teenager felt while inside this room. Ray breathed his breath. He really did not want to be in this place, it was hard to accept the fact that what he had received they just ignored. As if what they did to Ray and his mother meant nothing. Look how spacious this room is, it looks very luxurious. But it feels hollow. In the end, he ended up in the Chandra family home, which was like a palace.
In her shadow, this house is terrible. Full of stone people. Stone people? You'll see it later.
Ray can't sleep, he's used to sleeping with a lot of noise. Whether it is because of the debate of children his age or with the sound of crying children who can not sleep. He's used to it like that. Maybe because it also makes the figure of Rayyan Chandra Arrega into a talkative teenager.
"Mother, I can't sleep. Grandpa's men have taken me from the orphanage. When Ray first saw them, nothing really changed. Ray misses Mother, but why do you stay in Ray forever? If Ray misses Ray can't hug Mother." The habit every night is to talk. Talking to his mother, it was as if he saw the figure that always kept him in plain sight. Although in reality, only the empty and empty space in front of him was never filled by anyone who would listen to every word. Miris.
"Mother, Ray met Dad earlier. But Dad didn't look either. Do you hate that much like Ray? You know the reason, don't you?" momentary silence. Because no one can answer the question. The mother is not there.
"Hahaha, surely Mommy knows. But Mommy would have preferred to be quiet to protect me, right? It's old Mother, Ray wants to sleep. Tomorrow must be a day"
"SILENCE!" There was a scream from a woman from outside. The door seemed to be about to collapse when the punch hit it. Ray covered his body with a blanket. He closed his ears and tried not to hear the sound of screaming from outside. Not even he speaks softly. How can he live his life in this house? Will he be able to live quietly next time?
...🍀🍀🍀...
Two women were looking at the children who ran to and fro in the yard. Making a fuss and ending with the laughter they spit out afterwards. This is a common thing that happens in orphanages full of wandering little children.
"Sister, how about we agree to Mr. Chandra's request?" Said one of them. Recalling some time ago, lord Chandra came to them and asked for his right to Rayyan as his grandson. But because of a message from Raina, Ray's mother asked them to keep her child in the orphanage.
"What do you mean? Raina's mom has done a lot for this home, and you're even-"
"But Brother, our income does not match the expenditure. Financing a High School boy is big on his dependents. While those who are small are also not necessarily able to go to high school!"
"But-"
"By agreeing to Mr. Chandra's request, we can get funds for the needs of 4 more months. Anyway, there Ray was with his family. There he must have been well guarded!" The woman next to him was silent. On the other hand, he refuses to hand Ray over to the Chandra family. But what his friend said was true.
He chose to leave. In his room will usually be calmer if there are no children playing around. Listening to songs is her new hobby when she is gone. There was a point where he felt pain when he remembered it.
And also, the fact that he will be sold like an item.
Before long he heard the sound of footsteps, there he was dragged by his grandfather's men. To a house he could call a palace, but it was actually a prison.
He looked at the two caretakers with a pleading tone, he did not want to leave. But they just sighed and took their eyes off Rayyan's gaze. Letting the people in suits take him away from the neighborhood of the parlour. No matter how much she screamed, no one would listen. It's already sold.
The first time he stepped into the large building, there were only his grandparents, several uncles and aunts and also his cousins. Even if they see it like a rock waiting for another stone to come.
"Welcome back home, Rayyan! Are you tired? Are you hungry?" Grandpa looks very friendly. Different from the people behind him. The grandmother only looked at Ray with a flat look. Same with the others.
Ray shook his head to hear the grandfather's question. He complied as his grandfather pulled him to the table, and sat down to join the others. Ray caught the figure that he had longed for his presence. The figure that had been making her mother feel pain to cry all night. The father devoured his food without looking at it.
"Sir, I'm not hungry. Can I go straight to the room?!" His grandfather frowned. Ask her why her grandson who just came is a little reluctant to talk a lot. Even he heard, Rayyan was a different child from his other grandchildren. But what he saw now was Rayyan's figure that was different from the information he got. But the question was destroyed when he saw his eldest son who ignored his only puppet. Arnold Chandra Arrega's.
Arnold is Rayyan's father.
Until Rayyan has turned away from everyone's view. The grandfather told his bodyguard to take Rayyan to the room. And the silence there did not diminish in the least.
...***...
"Sister, I think the arrival of Brother Ray will change the rigidity of this family. It's the same!" Sam who had been watching his older brother had now become careless. He is not the same child as his cousins who are always silent. It's more active than it seems. Therefore, he never wants to be at home, because at home it feels more rigid. At school he can freely express himself like a teenager in general.
"Be quiet! You don't know what he's been through all this time. Moreover, his mother is now dead. It would be hard for him to live life in this rigid house." Shan, the older brother who was playing a game on his cell phone.
"He was very chatty first, but now he doesn't look chatty anymore. In the past, he usually would..."
BRAKK...
The door to the room is open. A teenager covered himself with a white blanket. There were dark circles under his eyes.
"Lho, Brother Ray..." Ray was lying next to Sam. No matter what the reaction of the two people. On top of Shan's phone screen was written the word 'Game Over'.
"Well, I lost!"
"Hey ... This ..." - Sam pointed at Ray.
"Shut up! Overnight could not sleep because this haunted house was filled with stone-walking humans. I can't stand everyone, I went here because I feel you're better than the rest of the stone people. So shut up and act like you're not seeing me." Ray covered his body with a blanket he was carrying. Sam and Shan chuckled at hearing that. Turns out Ray they used to be, still the same guy.
Sam hugged Ray's smaller body. He wants to let go of the longing that he has not dared to reveal. He doesn't care about Ray rebelling from his arms. All he did was hug Ray tighter and tighter, no matter what sound Ray was blaring in the room.
"Far away! You will feel the consequences later! Go!" Shan chuckled at the sight of the two. She was thankful that Ray looked okay.
