STRONG IN BETRAYAL
CHAPTERS. 20. ON THE TRAIN

A week before the wedding dress fittings..

Recalling what happened when he first met with Riska, Reynold now more often smile - his own smile, knowing a woman who is commensurate with him, now Reynold more often, having a passion in the field of education and the same - as being a teacher, making Reynold so much happier to be on campus than in an apartment.

“After all are you afraid of me?"

"Fear??? Ahahaha!!! You're wrong, young master Reynold... Riska never fears anything!" he said while standing, "Ehh... you know that our name is the same starting with the letter R?" a random question from Riska was back to ring in Reynold's memory, occasionally making him bite down on the seedlings just to hold his smile.

"Well, I know .. but I only realized when I was told" Reynold recalled the moment, getting more dissolved in his memory, and the more often Riska's face came to mind, moreover, Riska's smile is very attractive and if laughing with shaggy teeth it is something that is very tempting.

"Well, if you did force me to go with you, I've rejected it. But you pushed it too much, so see you later.. I have a teaching schedule now, Byeee..."

The shadow suddenly collapsed when someone in his mind was waving his hand and walking closer,

"Haiy!!" reprimand Riska with joy,

"Are you ready?" reynold asked with a small suitcase to carry his things.

"Yukkk... Do we go directly to the bus terminal?" ask Riska, please,

"Huh??? bus Terminal? we got on the train, I've changed the ticket." Reynold explained as he showed the train ticket he already had in his hand.

"Where are your things?" Reynold was looking for where Riska's suitcase was, but what appeared to be just an ordinary backpack and tote bag,

"This is my stuff." said Riska,

"Book - which book?"

"Oh.. It's on my tablet, take it easy Rey .."

On the way Reynold often steal – steal a glance, even now his mind is no other than the woman who is sitting next to him, they reach the station and go to Bandung, Bandung, it's a journey for work but for Reynold, it's more than a job.

Arriving at the Reynold station walking towards the waiting room section of line five where the train will take them to Bandung phone calls entered his cell phone, Rey immediately walked a bit away taking some distance so that Riska could not hear.

“Daddy Lady? Sorry to forget ngabarin, if I go to Bandung for campus assignments as a resource person in the Seminar there.” said Rey, said,

“Oh..., it's okay – what brother, sister how many days there?”

“I was only three days away from home” Reynold unconsciously already had bad intentions, and lied to Lady about the length of the seminar which should only be two days, but Rey has plans to take Riska – way to the place that Riska likes.

“Good sister.., heart – heart on the road well. if not busy notify Lady well Kak.., if it has arrived.” A simple request from Lady was even reluctant to be made by Reynold, but Reynold still said yes, just so that Lady felt calm.

“Alright the train is coming, I go first yah.” pampitnya then end the conversation.

Rey walks closer to Riska's seat, but before she stops by to buy Riska a cold drink and also Rotiboy at the station.

“This..make later if hungry and thirsty.” Riska accepted it enthusiastically,

“Widihh.., so good you Rey, so thnaks yah.” Rey chuckled at Riska's expression.

Some time later their train had come on line five, after comfortably sitting in the train, Rey began to open the laptonya and began to read some of the material that will be brought. Riska who saw how serious Reynolds was so astonished, she said,

“Your life is very boring well.” chirp Riska makes Reynold's attention distracted and look sideways,

“Means?” rey asked as she frowned, though,

“Of course I've prepared it since we were first assigned.” Rey replied,

“Then is your material not yet a hundred percent?”

“Already dong.”

“What makes this material your assistant lecturer? Or your other lecturer friend?”

“Hahaha.. Riska .. Riska.., where anyone can make material like this if not me.” Reynold did not expect Riska's question to make him confused, want to take where this conversation is going.

“Well that's it.., if you make this material, and everything is a hundred percent complete, then why do you spend time reading it again? Shouldn't you remember everything outside your head?”

“Well of course to smoothen, I am so Ris..” I am Rey..

“You better spend your time to tell me from playing the game maybe, then after arriving at our destination will rest and work seriously, if the whole time of your life is seriuuusss continues.., when can you enjoy your life? I hear this Indonesian just likes to be praised and seen as successful by others, until he forgets to make himself happy Rey.” Reynold was stunned by Riska's light chatter.

Sure enough during this life Rey is very serious, pursuing a bachelor's degree with struggle, also taking a post-graduate with ambitions in coupled with hard work, and, happiness gained from dressing – change boyfriend is also only a moment, even now when he wants to anchor his love to Lady there are other problems that eventually make Rey doubt his choice and again – again Reynolds back at zero point, Reynolds, the point where he himself did not know what he wanted and of course the point where his heart felt a void.

Rey took a heavy breath, then immediately closed her laptop tightly and turned to look at Riska, seeing what Reynold was doing, Riska was doing the same thing, she tilted her body, rather he turned to the right to be able to look straight at Reynold, the two of them throwing smiles at each other.

“Alright..., I will spend my time telling stories with you.” Rey said,

“Good..., I will also share my story with you.” said Riska while rolling her eyes,

“Why should be a lecturer?” ask Rey..

“I like the world of Rey's education.., I feel my life will be useful if I can share knowledge that is useful for many people.., I want when I die a lot of people to visit my grave maybe colleagues, or maybe the students – my students.”

“While you are. hahahaa.” Rey is amazed by Riska's attitude but quite surprised by the mind – his love if he dies later, but,

“Then if you? Why Should I be Lectured?” ask Riska, please,

“Actually being a teacher is just a stepping stone for myself Riska, I am not from a very well-to-do family, with this watered-down brain and my perseverance, almost the entire cost of education is the result of the scholarship I got, but if after this is done I want to be someone influential of course.., pursue a career as high as – height.”

“Hmmm... You are very ambitious Rey.”

“Daddy is indeed very ambitious.., not only in terms of education but in every way.” Riska smiled widely to make her teeth roll clearly increase the level of sweetness on Riska's face, making Rey hypnotized and gulp hard salivanya.

“In everything yes...Then about romance..., do you have a boyfriend now?” Rey was quite hesitant with the answer she was going to give, though,

“Reader? I was working on it..” Rey replied making a wish in Riska's heart without permission.
