Rayyan
Chapter 41. Chandras

Many things made Ray's mind confused. Several times he was called Mr. Great for not paying attention when in class. It had been more than a week since he had come home from the hospital, but his mind was still wandering far away there. Rion sighed. The guy secretly notices Ray who is not focused on the lesson. Not just once, but often.

"Lo think of Ren?"

"No!" Rion clucking.

"Gue thought, Rion! Ren has understood the same farewell father with Aunt Sasha. He said that one family had a son, a father and a mother. He kept asking me why there was no mother."

"meaning?! Ren wants Arnold to be like Aunt Sasha?!" Ray shook his head. That's not.

"No. He's not looking for his mom, it's Aunt Sasha. Ren means that .. yes .. he means his mother's replacement ..."

"Om Arnold was told to find another wife is it the same Ren?" Ray nodded. Rion understands now, although in his house there is already Bang Erik and Bang Qian during the growth of Renand does need a mother figure who monitors every step. At home, everyone is busy with their world.

"He's still a kid, don't take heart." Rion said briefly.

"But aside from that, yesterday he also said he wanted to meet Aunt Sasha. That's when he was sick, when he recovered he didn't say anything else. But I thought, he was the one who worried me. I don't want him to be just as rich."

"Ehem, that's the back! Why the gibbah in my lesson hours?! What are you guys talking about to the point of not being able to concentrate on the material I'm conveying?!" Rion and Ray looked at each other again. Well, they got hit again.

"Anu .. anu ..."

"Do you know that the gibbah is a sin? Astaghfirullah, istighfar son! Do not sin during my study hours, O God!" Naturally, he's Mr. Rizal. The best religious teacher in the school.

"We're not—"

"Udah, I don't want to know. Now you're standing in the field until my hour is over!"

"The feeling of sitting with you, I have the law of mulu, anjir!" Complaints Rion who has stood first.

"Yes you were luring me earlier. I'm letting go saying a lot, if I talk about it a little rich you're really giggling!"

...🔹💠🔹...

"Pipetatan lo ngayinya! I want to drink to my house!" Ray who sat in front while pedaling his bike screeched. Rion's good, sitting in the back. Not spending much energy, but he knew Rion was strong enough to pedal the bike in front. Every now and then Ray gets up from his seat to pedal stronger. Rion in the back there was good to comment on in his arrogant tone.

"That's a big bullet! Little splinter!"

"Lo is heavy, Rion! It feels like the burden of life is mah! Though the body of cungkring rich lidi it turns out to be very heavy woee, ngaku lo! You have a lot of sins, right?! That's why weight is also added!"

"What's the connection, Bambang!" Rion's still grumbling back there. While Ray, he smiled looking at the house with two levels that he had missed. He already had a plan, after he got home he would take a bath then sleep, before drinking the fruit juice that Qian used to make for him.

In the garage, he got off his bike. No matter how Rion almost fell in the corner of the garage because he lost his balance. Ray really misses the cold drink made by Qian.

"I'm home!" He shouted in front of the front door. But there was no answer from the inside, even though he saw that there was a father, Erik, and Qian already sitting in the living room with Ren sitting on someone's lap. An old woman who was now shocked because Ren suddenly rebelled came down from her lap. Running while calling out Ray's name repeatedly. And hugged her brother's leg tightly, as she used to do. The difference is, now the teenager is trying to neutralize his heartbeat.

"Why?" He ignored Rion's question. Choose to carry Ray in his carrier, and enter slowly. Wait, Ray forgot how to walk. Do in the Chandra family, they have to walk like models? Or smile like the English king who gets guests? Or ...

"Good afternoon, Grandma. I'm sorry, I didn't know you were coming all of a sudden." He said when he got to his grandmother. The old woman was just silent, not smiling but just nodding.

"Good afternoon," Rion behind him casually joined them. And Ray knew how his grandmother's gaze turned soft when he saw Rion's figure.

"Ren, sit with Grandma here." Grandma said while patting her lap. But Ren shook his head funny.

"No, Grandma. Ren wants to be the same brother. Ren's heavy, I'll kill Grandma if it's heavy." Said the boy innocently. The problem wasn't Ray, but obviously Grandma looked at him with a strange look.

"Ren, Grandma misses Ren. Ren wants to sit with Grandma?" Ask Ray.

"He wants to sit with you, didn't he just say?!" Ray went wrong. Perhaps, it was best that from now on he should just shut up.

"What's the situation there, Mother?" Arnold opened the topic. Trying to save his son. Until they fall into a light conversation that is quite pleasant. Occasionally Qian and Erik also participated in the conversation, it turned out that they could follow the flow of the conversation that Grandma wanted. Until his tail observed Ray who was always looking down and made the woman a little uncomfortable.

"Are you really teaching your son well, Arnold?!" Ray looked at his grandmother confused. He was confused where his mistake was.

"Chandra family members always sit up straight. Look at the person who is speaking politely. But I haven't seen Ray do that as long as I'm here!" Ray straightened his back. Staring at Grandma with fear, but Ren who was on her lap clasped tightly onto her arm. As if the boy knew that now, his brother was nervous to be in front of his grandmother.

"It's time for Arnold. I'll take your promise!" Ray scrunched his forehead. The promise?!

"But, Mother ..he was a child. I haven't been able to let it go to live alone there without my supervision!" Ray was completely confused by the conversation. So did Qian and Erik who were also confused by the direction of their conversation.

"Wait, Bang. Meaning what?! Release Ray?!"

"Arnold told me that it took him 7 months to get Ray back to health. And as you can see, Ray is as healthy as ever. At that time I wanted to apply for Ray to go into the school of manners."

"Bang ... You never said Qian!" Said Qian not accepting.

"But, Mother ..."

"The Chandra family was not Arnold's ordinary family. Our family has a name in the business world. Famous for his good manners. Seeing Ray who has never been polished before, I am not surprised that he has not qualified to be a real Chandra family. Chandra is not just a name embedded in your deed, Chandra is a symbol of beauty, not just beautiful to look at."

"On manners, Ray can take private classes after school. I still don't want to part with my son, Mom!"

"That's what makes him so spoiled, Arnold! He's grown up, he's 17! If you still want to protect her, then she will never be able to live independently." Ray's speechless. Then he should change schools again?! He had to follow all the rules and regulations set by them? That's not Ray. Can he live there?!

"And you, Renand. You should know that Ray's not your brother! So, you have to keep—"

"What do you mean?" Ren asked, but his eyes were already teary.

"Depart from Ray, because that's what you have to do first!"

"Grandma!" That's Ray. "He's just a kid, doesn't know anything about this. Ray apologized for making Grandma uncomfortable. But please, don't make our brotherhood stretch like this. You're just a different mom, our dad's the same guy. That's enough for Ray and Ren to be brothers and sisters."

"You're not very polite to answer a parent's order, Arnold—"

"Sorry, Grandma. But it was me. If my way of thinking is not in line with what Grandma thought, apologize, once again. But if it is me—"

"Ray, you know what the consequences are if you don't meet the requirements?!" Everything's silent. Same with Ray.

"You will lose the Chandra clan behind your name!"
