The My Impossible CRUSH
Episode 6: Salt

20 Years ago...

In a luxury apartment a couple are arguing after a family dinner.They are Ben and Lisa who are none other than Rey's parents.

Lisa, who was five months pregnant, was forced to accept Ben's anger because her father gave more than half of the shares to Faro Lisa's eldest son.

"Do you think that makes sense? I have Rey and the baby in your belly why did your dad give Faro 60 percent of the stock?" hardik Ben did not accept, he scattered all the files in his room until scattered on the floor.

Lisa's inexhaustible thought with her husband is "Faro the oldest, so it's only natural that she's what my father expects to continue his company.You don't worry about Rey or our baby-to-be, they're Faro's siblings, there's no way Faro's gonna be quiet when they grow up."

"You don't remember who beat Rey every day?! who robs Rey of food every day? and who was it that made Rey drown in the pool? Faro did it!"

"They hit each other when they were fighting, they really like to fight each other for food and Faro just wanted to help Rey at that time! isn't it natural that two brothers are fighting?"

"Student?? it may be natural that they are both the same age.It is only natural for a 15-year-old to behave so with his 8-year-old sister!" the eruption of emotion in Ben's eyes took a sharp aim at Lisa's face that was holding back her cries.

"Maybe that's the way they blend in, especially the two of them are men. Even though they always fight, isn't there also a time when they love each other? why are you overreacting like Faro doesn't deserve a place in this house? he's our son too!"

Ben gripped Lisa's arm tightly "he's your ex-husband's son!"

The words immediately made Lisa's head feel broken.Bust tight as if squeezed by a huge wall that was very heavy. The man who used to speak softly would accept his flaws, The man who once opened his arms and hugged himself warmly now turned into a terrible Man.

...-...

...-...

A few months later, Lisa was about to give birth to her daughter.The doctors and sisters were struggling there, it appears that Rey and Faro are standing on Lisa's right and left side because Papa they can't come there.

"Sister, you better wait outside" said the doctor looking sorry to Rey and Faro.

"Rey, let's wait outside.I can't anymore." whispered Faro, except he was nauseous and scared. he also did not want his 8-year-old sister to witness things that are not supposed to.

"Not only who came out, I want to accompany Mama here." Rey's face can't lie if she's actually scared, but she won't let go of her Mama's hand.

The doctor and nurse persuaded even a little to force Rey to come out, but Rey insisted on accompanying her until the end of labor.

Almost an hour Rey fought back against her fear, and during that time she heard the screams of her mother who was struggling to give birth to her sister, but things that Rey never imagined happened, lisa's voice slowly weakened as well as her hand.and when the fetus she gave birth to was gone, her eyes slowly closed along with a heartbeat that slowly stopped beating.

Ttttiiii...........

The straight sound from the monitor made Rey's cry instantly break.

...-...

...-...

"MAMAA!" Rey woke up from her nightmare, her face soaking wet because her entire forehead was dripping with sweat.

He looked straight at the sky of the room while imagining the face of his mother who he missed so much.

No tears streaming down his temple "forgive us Ma.." he said, he felt very guilty every time he dreamed of the bad event.

...~~~~...

Back to Bagas and Ayu who were looking at the campus corridor.

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"h.huh??" Ayu was glued for a moment to see the beautiful eyes of Bagas who were shining softly towards her.

Bagas turned the eyeball because he thought Ayu did not understand the purpose of his question.

"You don't know the term 'boyfriend'? a man who made a commitment to you and you promised to love each other. Do you have that man?"

When he was about to answer, Rey's face floated in his brain.

"this is not a commitment!" his curse brushed off Rey's shadow.

"No." said Ayu after a long thought.

"Seriously?!" bagas' eyes sparkled brightly hearing that.

"there's nothing special, which is that I obviously like men older than me."

"Then put me in your ideal type, because I'm three years older than you."

"i'll consider hahahah." said Ayu laughing.

...~~~...

After the class ended, Bagas walked towards the parking lot. Ayu looks repeatedly check her phone hoping for news from Rey, but Rey does not even give a sign of 'like' in her sosmed today.

"You got your own car?" bagas eyes wide when he saw Ayu holding the keys to a luxury brand car.

"mmm.." Ayu nodded.

Do not give up Bagas, even though the barrier wall looks very clear do not despair.

A minder? of course, he was just a guy kere capital look and sweet mouth while his dream was like an angel of noble descent.

"Don't retreat Bagas.fish in the sea and vegetables on land can meet on a plate when it's time." whispered Bagas right brain encouraging him not to retreat just like that.

"But not everyone eats Gas fish, there are also only vegetables with salt." said his left brain immediately made himself aware.

"assos!! what's wrong with salt?" he cast out two voices that were in the sense of hovering over that head.

Ayu almost throws her phone in shock at Bagas's actions.

"Why Gas? you have trouble understanding that lesson? about what salt? Cation or Sodium chloride?"

"ee..? not this my mother said I was wrong to buy salt." elaknya smiled stiffly.

"Your mother? where's the?" Ayu observes both hands of Bagas who is not holding a mobile phone. Through what did his mother say that Bagas wrongly bought salt? telepathically?

...~~~~...

From campus, Ayu did not go home directly, but he went to the office to deliver the files that had been copied last night.

"Wait, if I go there now meet dong with Mr. Rey. if he thinks I'm deliberately there to meet him how? did I tell Mas Dimas to take this file? uh but, let's just be nice if I can show you clearly what it's to stop hoping."

Upon arrival at the office, Ayu headed straight to Dimas' room.

"Mas Di.." he stopped his voice when he saw there was only Rey there.

"What's wrong?" tanya Rey still looked at her computer.

Ayu walked in and placed some files on Dimas's desk.

"Sampaikam to Mas Dimas's file from Ayu." he immediately turned his body about to get out of there.

"Go away?" Rey feels awkward, usually Ayu will speak stale first to him.

"hmm." said Ayu briefly without turning around, but his steps immediately stopped when his arm was grabbed by Rey.

"Thank you." said Rey softly, her cheerful face today looked hopeless and bland.

Seeing the look on Rey's face, Ayu's sight turned sympathetic.

"Yes, but remember, Ayu does not want if you ask for help like that again."

Without letting go of Ayu's arm, Rey sat on the back of the sofa and looked at her deeply.

"i should be honest with Papa, right?" rey's eyes dropped indicating concern.

"About what?" Ayu looked down at Rey.

"About Me.." It was hard even just to tell it. whereas Ayu was the one who knew exactly what she was like.
