The Love of Butterflies Night
Chapter 13

“Elle are you okay? Sorry I didn't come to help that night. There is an urgent matter.” Reynold appears before Elle as she enters her home after leaving the hospital.

“Stay away from me you stranger.” Say Elle with a ketus.

“What do you mean tell me all that? Are you mad at me because last night I didn't come?” Reynold was astonished by Elle's current attitude.

“Enjoyous work, go lo from before me! I'm sick of seeing your face. Go!” Elle threw out Reynolds who had just come before her.

“You don't dong Elle, I know I'm wrong. But please, give me a second chance. I'm sorry Elle.” Reynolds doesn't want to leave.

“Yaudah, if you feel wrong, please explain to me the meaning of your conversation with the midwife that time in my room!” Elle looked at Reynold's face with a sharp look.

“It...it...you must have misunderstood Elle. i...i...” Reynold answered that question.

“Lo is not capable, right? That's why! I'm not as familiar with you. Get away from my life! Go now!” Elle pushed Reynold so hard that Reynold fell to the floor.

“Yaudah, if today you can not accept me, tomorrow I will come again here Elle, and tomorrow again and tomorrow again. I will keep trying until you accept me in your life Elle.” Reynold now walked away from in front of Elle.

“Terdenah, go there far-away.” Said Elle sarcastically.

Reynold came home with a bent face, he was riding a motorcycle with a hollow feeling. If only that night he had come and been next to Elle maybe at this time Elle would not have been so angry with him.

Reynold recalled the incident that night, which made him unable to meet with Elle.

That night Reynold was cooking Elle's favorite menu. The plan he wanted to deliver food to Elle's house. Then, without being told before, suddenly both of Reynolds' parents appeared before him. How shocked Reynolds was.

“Mamih, Papih.” So shocked Reynold to drop the bowl he was holding.

“Why do you look so shocked? Aren't you with our arrival?” Papih approached Reynold with a suspicious look.

“No, not so.” Reynold then tidied up the scattered fragments of the bowl.

“Then what?” Papih is now crouching.

“You didn't tell me in advance, of course I was shocked.” Reynold answered with a little flutter.

“Do we have to tell you first if we want to visit our own child?” Papih seems to be getting a little upset.

“No, that's not what I meant. I just...”Reynold was confused as to what else to answer.

“Enough. stand up straight when you talk to Papih! Anyway, why are you doing all this? Are you short of money from us? Just say, we'll transfer whenever you want.” Papih looked at his son with worry.

“I'm not short of money in the least.” Reynolds is lying.

“Enough, I'm fine. Tear the talk again. What do you mean you guys came here?” Reynolds was a little upset.

“Of course because you want to check your condition. We got information that you're hanging out with a bad girl. You're also not focused on your college because of that girl.” Papih finally spoke to the point.

“Oh, so because of that. Huh! I should have expected it.” Reynold is now back to focusing on his work.

“Not only that son, we came here because want to take you away with us to America.” Mamih added.

“No! I would never want to. Already, you just take care of your business and career there. You don't have to worry about me here anyway I'm used to being left behind by you guys since childhood. So don't bother about it.” Reynolds still holds grudges against his parents.

“Rey, don't talk like that. We did all that for you, son. So that your life does not lack anything.” Mama tried to defend herself.

“So much as it is that you have done. You guys are too focused on chasing material for me while you forget that I also need affection not just money. Maybe in materia I don't lack anything. But the affection from you guys, I never felt it from childhood. I grew up with your money, not with your affection.” Reynold said that in tears.

“Plak.” Papih suddenly slapped Reynold hard.

“How dare you talk like that in front of us! Basic child does not know lucky. Been given heart and asked for heart. You forgot our merits in raising you. If without us and money from us now you can what?” Dad was already angry.

“Already Pih, don't be too hard on him.” Mamah tried to break them.

“Oh, so so. All right, from now on you don't have to worry about me anymore. You don't have to transfer money to me anymore. Because from today on, I'm not your son anymore! I'll prove that without you I can live!” Reynold now went out from in front of them.

“Where are you going, son? Hold still. Listen first, we're not done talking to you.” Mamih tried to arrest Reynold.

“No need! I don't want to hear from you guys anymore.” Reynold let go of his mother's hand violently and left.

“Rey! Rey!” Mamih shouted to call out the name of her only child.

“Let it be Mih, let's see until when his ego lasts. Later also he will come back to us again and beg to be sent money again.” Say Papih with a challenging tone.

“White! Why are you always so against him. Remember, he's our only son! He's our sole heir, you've been acting too hard on him. Therefore he lived a life like this. Besides his words there is a point as well. Rey is less affectionate than us. she's less we notice. We are too busy making money in the country of people to forget our own children.” Mamih said that with teary eyes.

“Halah! I also behave like that because that's the way I educate her. If it wasn't like that, he would be spoiled. You're defending him too much, lest you've eaten his shit?” Instead of agreeing with the words of his wife Papih even accused.

“Serah Papih only. Mamih is tired!” Mamih is now walking away from Papih.

Meanwhile, Reynold was packing his things. He will leave this place right now. He will find a new, clear residence that his parents will not know. He was tired of being looked at by both his parents.

Reynold rode an old motorcycle from his grandfather. He walked without direction. To be honest he was confused where to go, his heart was also injured by the words of his parents earlier. Reynold rode a motorcycle sobbing.

The night was getting late, Reynold never found a place to stay. Then he remembered his workplace. He also directed his motorcycle to go there.
