Rayyan
Chapters 18. What's up with him?

School's over, it's a sunny afternoon and Ray's grateful he didn't have an umbrella this time. It would be troublesome if he did not bring an umbrella, especially if he had to walk. Actually Karel, Sean and the others force Ray to come along in their car. But he refused on the grounds that Rion was going home late, I don't know what he did.

He watched the children who began to leave the school grounds. It was as if coming home was the safest place they had.  Ray thought the same. He does not even know, which house can actually accept himself as he is.

He had circled the school area three times, and had not yet found Rion's figure. Until finally he just sat in the lobby. Waiting for Rion who might pass.

Today was quite tiring, although he could learn easily this time. Somehow, all the things that the teacher taught him directly imprint in the brain. Same with what he read. It's never been easier to understand what he's learning. But in the last hour he could not concentrate at all. His eyes felt very heavy, if only he had the chance he might have fallen asleep and dreamed somewhere.

Suddenly, anxiety began to come. However, he just kept quiet and ignored what he felt. Maybe it's because he didn't sleep two days ago. It's probable. But as he remembered, he had enough rest afterwards, as well as his very diet of Rion and Nia.

Ray really didn't want to think about it. All he wants is to find Rion and go back to the apartment. Then he could sleep on his big bed.

"Lo can't gini!! I've done what you asked for, but why..." He could hear the voice of a woman not far from his place. Only, his figure could not be seen Ray.

"Gue never asked you to do that! And as for me, I never asked for anything from you!" That voice is so familiar. Ray can get to know him just by the darkness, but this time he is absolutely sure that the person is the Rion he is looking for.

The curiosity made Ray look for his figure.

"If you never have the same feelings as me, do not act as if giving me hope!" A girl with long hair now rubbed her eyes. While the figure of Rion in front of him was only indifferent and cold as usual.

"Gue said, I never gave you hope! My treatment to lo is nothing more than a friend, so please do not make the word 'friend' among us be 'enemy'!!"

The girl was still silent. Ray could really say nothing. He's never been in a situation like this. He never expressed love to anyone, and vice versa. So it is natural that he is indeed a figure who looks stupid with this kind of thing.

"When are you there?!" Ray removes his daydreams. Rion was already in front of him.

"Well?!"

"Gue asked when you were there?!" Ray was speechless. He chose silence, looking at Rion and the girl in turn.

"Em, you don't want to take care of that...?!" He asked as he looked at the girl who was still speechless while looking at him sharply.

"Gue is done! There's nothing to talk about anymore!" He said as it passed. Huh uh?! With so much ease?!

"That's a girl! It was as if he was being polite!" It's offsetting Rion's move. But the teenager just kept quiet while staring at the road before him. Ray clucked, really this kid beside him irritated himself to death. Fortunately, sodara, if not he has been given a sentence of a thousand words.

That way the pause between the two makes a mute that is long enough to arrive home.

...***...

For some reason, today was a very annoying day for Rion. Maybe for teenagers in general is not strange, but for him not. Everyone knows that he does not like dramatic things especially about love. And this time all day he kept getting strange messages from a girl who some time ago asked for her phone number. Actually can't bear to see a girl seem to cry in the school environment like that. But he was really anti with something called love.

He never knew anything like that, and he didn't want to know. Point. No commas, let alone spaces.

And apparently, Ray thought too much about it. In fact, the teenager no longer opened the chat. His steps were right behind Rion's body. There was nothing strange about it, and Rion did not feel strange either. Until he got to the apartment door. But I don't think the teenager behind him is still there.

Ever since they left the school grounds, his steps had looked heavy. Ray didn't want to think about why his body was so limp a few minutes ago. But he could not trouble the person who kept stepping lightly. Maybe he can hold it until he gets home.

He felt relieved when he started entering the apartment, just opening the door leaf with the key that Rion brought. Then he could easily lay down his body anywhere. That's a good thing.

But his body refused to move his legs to the front door. Rion is also busy looking for the key that he forgot to keep. His body was hollow, just a wall he reached to remain standing. He really can't hold it anymore.

As the coldness began to encroach on every part of his body, he was about to call out to Rion with all his might. At least tell him that he is in a bad condition. But his mouth just shook, unable to say anything.

It was only when he touched the bottom of his nose, because he felt something flowing there. He could say nothing but the blood red he saw.

"Rion..." The voice was very soft, even he was not sure Rion could hear it clearly.

"RAYA!" Rion exclaimed with his speeding steps to get closer. He panicked, of course. He was never faced with the condition of someone like this.

"Lo why?! Hey!!" Ray is sitting down. He could no longer support his body. The panicked sound that Rion shouted sounded like the buzzing of a bee in his ear.

"Hey!!" Rion shook Ray's body. But the boy was still staring blankly at the air in front of him. He can't think of anything. Everything is empty. The blood coming out of his nostrils has not stopped flowing. Dropped, until his bright uniform was stained with a deep red.

"Ray!! Lo see me!!" Ray's still not flinching. And Rion's panicking. God has answered Rion's request, before long Nia came with a large plastic she had on her hands. No longer surprised, but he panicked. But at the very least, Nia's existence here made Rion even more relieved.

Slowly, Rion helped the teenager to get up from his seat. Enter into the room with a debate in the chest that is still fixed on the tempo. He should have realized as soon as he felt unsettled and agitated. It's nobody's fault. It's Ray's own fault for saying nothing. And in the end he's the one who troubles the people around him.

"Sorry...!" That's what Rion heard the first time, when Ray was already in bed. He wondered, why?!

As for Nia, he took a glass of water for Ray to drink. With Rion slowly sitting down the teenager, he was still like a daze, like losing his mind for a while.

Nia stroked Ray's back gently, making the fierce pounding from his chest slow down again. The uneasiness he felt from earlier, was now slowly disappearing. Replaced warmly and comfortably, it was as if two people who kept nagging beside him could protect him at any moment.

"If you don't feel well, just say why?! I'm afraid to know?!! If you had been left far behind, then I can't help you how it will be, huh?!!" The boy kept nagging. As for Ray, he didn't care what he said. His hand kept moving to remove the nosebleed that had flowed. Making her splatter everywhere, in her hands and clothes. Even when Ray's state is still unstable like this, he did not soften his tone at all. He is like that, so don't worry. Birth is hard to remove.

"Rion, don't you see Ray is still rich?!!"

"But ma..."

"What are you guys talking about?! I can't hear your voice clearly you know?!!!" Ray was also in the conversation. He was already caught up with their discussion.

"I'm not why. Yesterday was just a lack of sleep!"

"Lo lack of sleep?! Why?!" Rion unceasingly cornered Ray who was not wanting to talk.

"Yesterday I couldn't sleep, because of a lot of thoughts!! Plus you're a bummer!!!!" Exclaims. It was fortunate that his hearing had also improved, so he could avenge Rion.

"Mama call the doctor! All of you later tell me to bring a syringe with sleeping pills! Let this rabbit not repeat his mistake again!!" Nia sighed, as I and as cold as Rion, in a panic she could say anything. Even without filters sometimes. But this is how he was worried. Nia had a lot of questions for them, about Ray with his circumstances like this.

As he remembered, he was still in good health this morning. And also yesterday Rion said, he rested properly. Yesterday he looked a bit pale, but today he thinks Ray's condition has improved. But it's even like this.

Actually, what's wrong with her??
