Secrets (Who Are You?)
3. Chalks

Meika who was busy with her memories only fell silent while in her pickup car. Several times her husband reprimanded but only for a moment and she drifted back to that time. The twilight that is not forgotten. He always wanted to ask about where Reina came from.

"You think about it?" Raihan asked who was worried about his wife.

"It looks so." Answer Meika around.

"Is there anything that makes you think about it? you remember, a thousand days have passed." Said Raihan so that his wife does not continue to drag on in grief

"Why is it that easy? what about your memories?" Now Meika turned Raihan's words around.

The young CEO was silent behind the wheel. Sitting looking at the blue sky that will soon change twilight. Traffic lights do not go green making time really stop. Raihan wants to cry now.

Reina, why is that girl so hard to forget. It would be a lie if he said he had forgotten the sweet girl who had dimples on his right cheek. Anyone who has been tied up will continue to be trapped there.

"I love you, however, can I beg you to fulfill all that I want? please marry Meika."

That day was the last day before they were finally separated by the more ruthless destiny of the Milky Way Galaxy that separated Altair and Vega. Reina disappears and a notary reads a will. Reina, ask him to look after Meika.

The traffic lights were finally green. The car Raihan drove with his wife drove slowly splitting the paved road. When the two arrived at the next crossroad, both were forced to pull over. There are two groups of high school children who are at odds. The two groups each carried a bat.

"We have to turn around." take Meika to her husband

"Can't be May, we can't do this one way street."

Shit, Meika grieves softly and can still be heard by her husband.

"You are completely different yes, we used to have this situation. He even popped out the prank of turning on the siren app from his smartphone." Bright Raihan

"He prefers peace. I'm not the one who's wasting my energy." Meika said it while looking ahead.

He was surprised to find that one of the brawl group was his student. Rania. The girl was still wearing the same hoodie, only that her short skirt had changed with long training pants. He stands at the forefront with the baseball bat in his left hand.

"Geez Raniaaaaaa!!!!"

Meika was suffocating, she immediately came out and ran towards the two groups of young people who were starting the action, not caring about what she had just said about wasting an energy.

Raihan was forced to follow his wife. The brawl is a dangerous thing. Meika did not care if she had to be in such a dangerous situation. Her heart was too scared if something bad happened to Rania.

They just met today and feel so close. Makes Meika believe about her reincarnation theory.

Reincarnation is similar but not the same, I believe he is the reincarnation of Reina

"Stop!!!!!!" Meika kept shouting for the children to stop.

Until their action stopped because of police sirini. They all ran away, instantly leaving the place. But Rania, the girl lost her soul. Staring blankly at Meika who kept shouting called out her name. Rania looked at the young teacher. Then wipe away the blood flowing to his right temple. Wounds are nothing new to him.

"You came with us to the police station to be questioned."

Finally, the Pamong Praja Police Unit dragged Rania to the police station. Meika and her husband also participated.

***

"Take action that you do is very dangerous, how many more times? You're young, girl why do you have to be like this?" So the rant from the police chief that sounded like a broken radio in Rania's ear.

The police department is nothing new. He's been in there often asked this to protect his friends. Even he knew soon his father would come, scold him there and beat him mercilessly.

"Have you contacted my father?" One mocking question finally came out of the young girl's lips.

"Excuse me, I'm Rania's school teacher. I'll be his guardian."

Rania looked directly at the source of the sound. The smile of victory he showed the old policeman with a distended stomach there.

"Hey old man you know? my luck is lucky today."

"You're her husband?" Rania asked when the three had left the police station.

"I just found out that in your day there are still people who use such rigid language." Answer Raihan

"It hasn't answered my question" Rania said flatly

"Yes, he's my husband. Have you met him before? or in a previous life?" said Meika

Rania raised one of her eyebrows as if showing that she was confused. He did not expect that the young teacher was so confident in a theory of reincarnation.

"So you still believe in the theory of reincarnation?" Rania asked such a thing when they had gotten into the car.

Meika and Raihan will take the naughty schoolgirl home.

"If reincarnation really exists, why isn't it reborn? why does he look older?" added Rania

No one said, silence happened along the way, Raihan was just asking about where Rania lived and the girl replied that she should be dropped off in front of the minimarket near koramil.

"Thank you for the ride. Oh yeah Meika!"

"I'm your teacher, shouldn't call me by that name." Meika was a little annoyed when Rania called out to her without any additional name of respect.

Again the young girl showed an annoying smile. Jumping his chin with his right hand which he placed on the window of the car directly opposite the teacher.

"I can't call you that. I want to know why you ran at me, when you knew it was dangerous. I'm not your Reina. The dead won't come back. I tell you one thing. I'm more convinced of the seven-fold theory."

The night wind felt so caressed, erasing the traces that faded as the night progressed. Darkness swallowed. He disappeared in a small alley between the minimarket and residential residents. Only a faint shadow was caught on Meika and Raihan's neutrals. Then it gets dark. Rania is gone.

The car went back. Penetrating glitter city lights at night. But that brilliance was unable to shine a light on the darkness of his heart. The lady with the status of an apprentice teacher was getting late in grief.

"You seen? He looks the same. I'm sure it's reincarnation."

***

It still marks how Rania hit her opponent with a baseball bat. Created a wound on his opponent's body and a thin smile that looked extremely cunning. The girl's body also looks so shrewd, her physical as if created not to feel pain. It looked how so calmly he wiped the fresh blood flowing from his new wounds.

Meika kept thinking about the brawl event, so she became restless. He got up from his position. Walk into the kitchen and look for water from the refrigerator. Pour it into a glass and gulp it down a bit then she sits on her dining room chair. It's raining outside. Not too heavy but the rinai-rinanya enough to make wet. The windows of his house began to dew and the cold wind began to creep in through the window that had not been completely closed.

He closed it, just then he heard a faint voice. A longing cry. Inside the workspace, Raihan was looking at a picture frame of someone.

"I saw you today. At this time you are a hero. You're involved in the brawl that used to be the thing you hated the most? why are you doing it now?aah I missed too much, you guys are not the same. It seems I got carried away with Meika with her reincarnation theory." Raihan said it while wiping away the longing tears. Then gently caress the face in the frame of the photo.

Photos they took in High School.

Meika saw him, her heart felt a little bit hurt. When she started to love Raihan but that heart she couldn't have yet. He knew their marriage was just a will from Reina. But is it wrong if a taste finally exists between and Raihan.

***

About Rania, she hoped her father would scold her when she came home late or just ask where she got the new wound on her forehead. All that was just an exaggerated expectation for Rania.

Suppose today the apprentice teacher had not come to defend him maybe he would have interacted with his father. It was also a bad interaction. At least they will talk. Now he was too tired to hope, choosing to immediately go into his room and break down. Look at the ceiling of his room. Soaring longing for the figure of a friend he will no longer meet.

"I met one of your twins. But it's ridiculous that he's an adult who believes in reincarnation.His ridiculousness makes me free today from the student anarchist case."

The door of his room opened abruptly, displaying the stiff face of his father. Rania immediately changed her position. He sat on his bed and looked at his father.

"ciiih, why should I worry about a child like you."

"You think I'd be worried about a depraved man like you? why you have to be my father."Maki Rania to her father

Then the door to his room was closed roughly.
