Rayyan
Chapter 46. Balcony Room

The quiet silence of midnight always makes Ray feel restless. Perhaps due to getting used to waking up early, this time he suddenly woke up at half-twelve in the night. He left his sister sleeping in bed alone. Then, his feet always deliver him to the balcony of the room.

He sat on a cold ceramic. Then look at the dark sky. Wrong, there are still some stars there. Shining with dim light. And impressed .. boring.

Ray looked towards his sister who was still fast asleep. There's a little bit of pity. Honestly, compared to him before, his sister was sick more often. Ren has many food allergies. Nuts, mangoes, and all drinks smell of matcha. Since moving here, Ren has been 3 times back and forth to the hospital because of his health. Ray himself did not know why his sister had such a weak immunity. But, the teenager certainly did not take this matter seriously.

Especially with the wealth that his father had. For food, Qian and herself could cope. But to be honest, Ray started to get suspicious about other things. Once his father was asked to go to kindergarten because his son made trouble. But what Ray found were bruises on his elbow and some on his right thigh. After being asked, Ren simply replied 'it's okay'. Ray knew there was something the boy was hiding from them.

"Middle of the night is on the balcony? The air's cold, you know. You're afraid you could get the flu."

The sound made Ray cast his gaze right on the balcony of the next room. More precisely, the balcony room belongs to Erik who is now changing hands and inhabited by 2 guests. Karel and Kensie. For Karel, Ray was sure that the teenager had fallen asleep. And won't wake up before five.

"Sir Kensie, what's on the balcony? It's like this again."

"Just can't sleep."

Both of them were silent, both looking up at the sky. But their minds may be in a faraway place.

"You're a good brother, huh? Though already know his mother behaved like that." said Kensie again. But it actually made a frown on Ray's forehead. "The boy was not wrong, he was just a victim. After all, Ray's life is much better now than it used to be. Ray learns to face problems. Ray also learned how to appreciate a life." Ray momentarily fell silent. "But there's no way I'm going to lose it again. It's enough Mother, Grandpa, just like Rean left Ray. The other ... Ray's trying to keep them here."

Kensie smiles. The boy is a picture of his mother. Ah, he forgot some of the things that were his main purpose of going here. Of course, Kensie was a very careful person. Full of calculations, especially about escaping to this place. At this time, surely his uncle and papa are nagging at home because 5 teenagers are wanted, now outside the city.

"Kak Kensie's goal here is what, anyway? How do you know I'm here?"

"Ah, I don't know why I came here. You could say, this is just an escape. It turns out actually what Shan said when it was still High School first. College is not as good as you think. But there's another problem as well."

"Hmm, what?"

"We're worried about you. Same with Rion. That kid's been a crazy rich man ever since you found out you were in an accident because of him. Amazingly, he did not enter until a few weeks, because he had to go back and forth to the breeding hospital to see a psychiatrist." Ray turned his head. Throw eyes.

"More, when our parents try to cover your whereabouts. That's really disturbing. Every day, the house is empty. It is very rich cemetery. Therefore, Rion has never returned home since you left. He's got some kind of paranoid."

"Ah, is that it? I don't know ..." The teenager looked down.

"But amazingly, you can cure her mental illness just by meeting each other and just having an absurd chat about your hearts. It turns out, you guys are a bunch." Kensie laughs. "What is he here? No complaints, right?" Ray just shook his head.

"No, but after he came here he was even more chatty. Ngeselin. Everything Ray does, if he's the same, he's got to be punished. Last time, we were told to respect the flagpole. It's almost an hour away!" lamented Ray finally can not be dammed as well. Previously, he was not a smart child and was always active in school organizations. But he was never punished to that extent.

"I don't think Rion needs to worry anymore. He's okay, as long as you're okay. But there's something else I need to ask you."

"Hmm, what else?"

"It's about Ren. In the past, even before you returned to the main house, Ren often had bruises. When asked, he just said it was okay while covering his wound. Apparently, Aunt Sasha often hit him as an impingement when having the same problem Om Arnold." Ray widened his eyes again. "I'm just afraid that my hunch is right. He is a child who is not of the same age. He's a 13-year-old who's in the body of a 5-year-old toddler. That's all I'm afraid of."

"But he seems to be doing well here. I'm not worried about you guys anymore. And, well richly we will add another sister from Aunt Nia. Hope it's a girl. Bosen, all the kids in the Chandra family are all gendered guys!"

...🔹💠🔹...

After closing the balcony door again, Ray again shuffled in his blanket. Join the sister who still exists in the dream realm. Ray stared fixedly at the peaceful face of his sister before clutching her tightly. It makes the boy move uncomfortable.

"You're Brother Ray's sister, so you have to grow up as Big Brother's sister, huh? Don't be careless adults, your time to mature is still very long" said Ray, rubbing his sister's back to feel comfortable. His eyes are heavy. Slowly, he closed his eyes and went to dreamland. Unconsciously, the brother opened his eyes. Then her little hand rubbed Ray's head with a pity.

"I love Brother. Brother don't leave Ren again, okay? Good night, Best Brother ..."

...🔹💠🔹...

"Sister Ray, can Sam move to school, can't he? I want ..." muttered the younger brother who hugged Ray's right hand. The two were watching television, accompanied by Karel who had collapsed unconscious due to drowsiness. Rion's? Of course he's in his own house, and it's not here. Unlike Kensie, Sean, and Shan, the three of them invited Erik to tour this city. With one extra. From now on, Shan who was reluctant to release Ren in his carrier also brought the younger brother of Ray along with him. Ray initially refuses, but since they are with Erik, he can believe it.

But Erik said, There are some people who really do not like his presence in school. And that includes Kensie and Shan. Either because they were defeated academically and non-academically by Erik, or because of something else. The two now look very close to this Erik.

"No way. Your family is there. You go to school there too!"

"I can sleep here ... Yes, Brother? Can ya?" Ray shook his head slowly.

"No way, should I emphasize? This house doesn't have a father. But having Bang Qian, there's no way you're going to keep Bang Qian together?"

"But Rion's brother can't?"

"I'm his nephew, obviously I can. After all, she's the one who made me stay here. Si Rion too, Om Abra will also have a house here. So he's free to do it here." But that explanation did not make Sam's heart become relieved. Or the many things he thought about one by one were ruined because his expectations were too great.

"If I have a house here, can you transfer schools to Kak Ray's?"

"Not be able to! Where did you get the money from? Jajan still asks the old man! After all, if you have the money saved first, you are still in 10th grade. Must have needed a lot."

"Papa's money will not run out, just to buy a house here ..."

"Not be able to!"

"Aaah, Brother Ray ... "

"How noisy you dugong! Why buy a house too?! You little want this little want it, anyway if miss the same Ray or Rion now also met. Satisfied with Ray now before we go back. You also will not make Grandma agree to school here, even though you bow down." The disturbed Karel began to express his opinion.

Ah, Sam hates to admit this. But Karel was right.

"Don't be sad, tomorrow if I go home from school won't buy a bracelet? Make seven, make a mark that we are really family and brothers. How's it?" Sam glanced at Ray who comforted him.

"Really?" Ray nodded.

"OKAY! I'M COMING!" it was not Sam who was cheering, but Karel who suddenly moved out of his place and immediately stood in front of them.
