Rayyan
Chapters 17. Maybe, this is Karma
This morning was different than usual. I don't know why something made him excited. Not because he found a lump of gold or diamond when he opened his eyes. Nor was Rion's smile that he encountered when he first saw her this morning. But Nia's presence makes her feel warm again a mother to her child. He is different from the people at home. Had it been a long time ago, Nia was home maybe it wouldn't have been this bad. But all he can do is live the rest of his life.
“Ray, what will you eat later?!” Nia's voice graced the air in the room. Ray, who was ready in his uniform, turned his eyes back to the aunt.
“Tante want to make provisions for Ray?!” Nia nodded. Staring at Ray who was sitting in front of the dining table.
“As for aunty, Ray is an all-eater. So what food do you want to make, Ray must be eating greedily, hehe!” Nia chuckles then gets back busy with kitchen utensils with some groceries that she sanding since a while ago.
“By the way you're healthy right Ray?! Aunt worried you why-why. You see yesterday your face is pale so rich in zombies!”
“Ray healthy really, tan. Only aunty who has not realized that this aunt's nephew is rich white bulb light latest output!” Nia chuckles. His hands were still busy preparing the supplies he had promised Ray. Likewise with Rion who will later take supplies belonging to Ray if he is not made as well.
“Thank God that's it, sorry?! Aunty beru coming now, definitely in a rich house living in a zombie movie. My aunt doesn't like it at home either. Too stiff, so auntie is out of town more often than at home!”
“Nothing really, tan. There is also an Abra.” section Ray smiled mischievously when he resumed his sentence.
“He said, Rion pengen has adek..” He said in a soft voice. But he could clearly see the red hue on the aunt's cheek. Nia turned off the stove. Then he looked at Ray. Forgetting the red hue on the face made Ray laugh even harder.
“You think you have a child?! Yes, the listen?! Aunty has one just can not manage with real. Uh, it's an ice cube man rich in Rion. Repeatedly said the same aunt he made it more open again the same people, he was even nyolot. Tell him that he doesn't need friends, he's allergic to strangers. Aunt is confused about her!”
Nia stuffed her cooking in two boxes she had prepared. This is what makes her feel like a real mother.
“What are you talking about?! It's so cool!” Rion joins Ray, puts his bag under the chair and sits next to a human rabbit.
“No! This is not a problem you need to know!”~Nia
“Hehe, said aunt Nia wants to have another child.” whispered Ray to Rion.
“Child?! No!” Nia looked at Rion who spoke out loudly.
“Mama can't have children!”~Rion
“Loh, why?!”
“Rion is afraid later if mama is pregnant, that baby boy is out! Rion has seen a boy at home. I also wonder why all grandfather's grandchildren are all men!”~Rion
“Heh, giant boy! You think when you're pregnant with your aunt, they can order the gender of the prospective child, huh?! If only I could be that rich, I pesen ponakan huh, Tan?! Which girls let later if Rion no one wakes up can be slapped equally adeknya!”~Ray
“Lo have the same problem I?!”
“Soalya lo restless! I'm going to go to the recess, right?! I want to bring 10 chocolate bars to school! Who knows, there will be girls who want to catch me after being given chocolate!”
“You make their teeth all together!”
“Bodo highly!!” Nia breathed her breath. They were always like this. Somehow when Ray with Rion they like to emit their own color. Unlike Rion which is full of dull colors and also gloomy when alone.

“Lo why?! What a feeling! Lack of sleep?!” Jeremy who had noticed Ray's face also began to wonder. While Adel and two friends also pay attention to Ray's face. No way, he said with his friends that yesterday he had not slept all night.There are many things he thought. And of course he does not want to make them worry about the problem that now can not be underestimated.
“Why?! You envy the same color of my skin that is rich in the latest output bulb?! Fine, now I know why lo care so much with me!”
“Why?!”
“Because I'm a cute white rabbit.”
“Camel?!”
“Since when did you learn Malaysian?! Language itself is sometimes not true, uh want to change the language anyway!”
“Ray, really! It's I'm sure you have a problem right?!” Adel also participated in their conversation. Rion and the other two were silent. He was afraid that if he told the truth, Ray would fight with him again.
“Nothing! I just lack of sleep, the task of Indonesian which has been for my brain around the field seven rounds!”
...***...
On the other hand, a woman is in a room that has been messy because of her own actions. His feelings for a 16-year-old child have not faded. Every time he sets foot somewhere, not at home, not in the office. Much the same. Ray is still considered a cowboy of his selfishness with Arnold. If the boy doesn't come back, then everything will be fine. He won't be hurt and Renand won't feel bitter about being left alone.
The broken glass from the vase that he smashed minutes ago was strewn across the floor. Mixed with paper that somehow with sheets scattered all over the side of the room.
“This is all because of that boy!! If only he had never come back to this family's life again, none of this would have happened!!!” With all the emotions he overflowed by throwing anything and tearing up the paper he met in front of him. With his breathless gasping holding all his emotions, he grabbed his phone on the table. Start swinging his fingers over the phone screen. He made a call to someone.
“I have a job for you, crush the child slowly!!! I don't want to know, anyway the child has to feel the consequences!!” His voice even sounded terrible.
...***...
No one wants their family to be destroyed like this. Everyone wants their family members to feel safe and secure. Often jokes together when unwind after work. Same with Arnold.
He wants his family to remain intact. But the question is not as easy as he thinks. Starting from his marriage with Raina which began without any love at the beginning. Because his father was amazed by the tenacity and hard work of a Raina, who was indeed no one but the poor who made a living with any work. Raina is a hard worker, starting from being an ob in his company office, then he finds out that he is an orphan.
Somehow a Chandra could be amazed at the young man's efforts, then took the initiative to match him to the youngest. And it all just happened. No one refused. Not Raina, not Arnold. Raina does have some feelings for Arnold, but she never imagined that she would marry him. It was like a Cinderella dream.
Time began to pass, and the originally cold Arnold began to open his heart. Trying to accept destiny as it is. Raina was a good person, she was always the wife who obeyed her husband. And strangely, Arnold felt empty if Raina was not next to him. The seeds of love have begun to grow between them. Arnold is cold, but cares about Raina. Forgetting the fact that he used to be a poor man was never considered useful to anyone. Unlike Arnold who has had a rank since he was young.
After a few years of marriage, the baby was present and they named Rayyan Chandra Arrega.
Everything is fine, their families are not so warm when viewed from the outside. But in fact they complement each other and understand each other. Ray grew up with his other brothers. There are almost no defects in their family. Till...
Sasha, Arnol's former lover comes after ten years of their marriage. There is nothing special between the two after meeting and then becoming superiors and subordinates. Arnold hardly ever noticed Sasha.
But maybe fate says something else. After a short warm chat took place in a night. The two met frequently and made major changes to Arnold's household.
After getting to know Sasha again, Raina seemed more boring. He no longer looks special in Arnold's eyes, as well as Ray who he considers disturbing when he came home then the boy whined to be invited to play with his father.
Raina knows Arnold's relationship with Sasha is very close. Even though he was just silent, to save their fragile family. For the sake of Ray's happiness. He can't be selfish.
However, Raina's silence ends when Sasha secretly meets her. She later said she was pregnant with Arnold's child. Raina's world collapsed upon hearing that, there were many things that were able to make her shed every emotion through the cries she let out every night.
And that's how it all ends. Raina takes Ray away from the Chandra family. Trying to hide from them. Avoiding every question about Rayyan's father. Let him give up this time, let Arnold live with his new wife. And they can live happily without hurting each other again.
...***...
"Aren't you sorry you wasted someone like Raina, Arnold?!" Karen's voice echoed throughout the room. Arnold is in his office every day, he doesn't want to go home. Finds his family is starting to slowly disintegrate.
"I never regret!"
"I don't know what you're really feeling, but I'm just warning you. It could be, your problem this time is karma for your past mistakes!"
"You may lose the person who cares about you the most. Again." That made Arnold quiet. He doesn't know what else to do. Because after he heard that Raina left not only from his life, but also left Ray for good all felt empty and empty. And then he again saw Rayyan's more fragile and sensitive figure since he last met.
He even vented his emotions on Ray who did not know anything. Even after that, he felt that something was not right. He continued to strengthen the assumption that what he did to Ray was true.
