Rain stared at the night sky from the terrace of his house. The cold night wind he ignored. Today, Alan forbade her to sleep in the hospital. She wanted Rain to rest because her brother looked thinner.
"Gaza, I miss you. What are you doing now? Are you thinking about me too?" Mumm Rain. For whatever sake, Rain was eager to hear the man's voice at this moment. His longing is soaring, every time his cell phone rings because of a call from Gaza, his hands itch the most. But no, he should be able to hold back. His relationship with Gaza should be over.
Sometimes she felt fate was so cruel to her. But as he looked at the others who fared worse than him, he felt a little lucky.
"I'm too greedy to want a perfect life. I have lived 20 years happier. And only because of the suffering of these 6 months. I thought God was cruel to me." Rain monologued while staring at the stars.
Making peace with destiny is not easy. But, that's the best way out. Even though he was tired, he still had to live it. The storm will pass, but I don't know when it will pass. I can only pray soon.
Rain stared at the paper in his hand. Especially if it's not a hospital bill. Today, for the umpteenth time, Alan's hospital bill came back. But the money, no matter where he gets it.
Alan has been recovering for a week. His feet and hands can be moved even though they are not yet smooth. His vital organs are also functioning well. In the midst of happiness, there is only one problem, namely money.
Rain put the bill paper on the table. His hand moved to grab the phone. I want her to dial Maya's contact number. But he still doubts. He continued to worry about his decision.
Dret dret
Either by chance or what, there seems to be a message coming in from Maya.
"How's Rain doing, are you still mad at me? I'm sorry Rain. I don't want this to disconnect our friendship. I love you Rain, Uncle Teguh and Alan. I wish I could still be friends with you." Mayanist.
Whether he was angry at Maya, no he wasn't angry. Only, he was disappointed in her.
Rain hesitates to reply to Maya's message. But anyway, Maya was always there for him all along.
In his little heart, Rain did not want his friendship with Maya who had been established for 5th must be cut off.
"Do you have May's time, I'm waiting for you at home." Rains.
It didn't take long for Maya to get to Rain's house. Maya only needs to ride her motorcycle for 10 minutes to get to the small house.
Rain, who was still sitting on the terrace, soon realized the arrival of Maya.
"How are you doing Rain?" ask Maya while sitting next to Rain. They haven't communicated for a week.
"Okay, come on in."
Rain moved from her seat followed by Maya.
"I'll make you a drink first."
"No need for Rain." Maya held Rain's hand as she was about to head for the kitchen. "I'm not here to ask for a drink. I'm here to apologize." Maya clasped Rain's hands together, her eyes looking glassy. He regretted saying something stupid back then.
"It's May, I've forgiven you."
"Thank you Rain." Maya hugged her best friend. "You are my best friend." He was behind Rain's back.
Actually, Rain has a special intention to meet Maya. But he was still confused on how to convey it.
"Why Rain? did something happen to Alan?" Maya could see the mess on Rain's face.
Rain shook his head, "Alan is aware of May."
"Alhamdulillah, I am so glad to hear it. Then why do you look worried? Is there a problem with Uncle Teguh?"
"We sit down May." Take Rain while pulling Maya's hand towards the long chair.
"I need May's money." Say Rain directly.
"How much do you need Rain, I'll help you as much as I can."
Rain shakes. He still has the shame not to continue to receive help from Maya. Especially since knowing Maya got the money from selling themselves. It's not that the saintly pretender won't accept the ill-gotten money, it's just that, he doesn't have the heart of Maya.
"What's Rain?"
"What was your offer when it was still valid."
Deg
Maya was really surprised by Rain's words. He didn't expect a Rain to say that.
"No Rain, no. You're too special for the job. Don't ruin your life by making the wrong decision. I'm sorry I told you that, Rain." Maya curses herself for giving Rain her silly idea.
"I'm sure May." Sahut Rain while staring at the window. "There's no other way. I need money." Rain's body seemed to be trembling. Maya can tell that this is not an easy decision for Rain.
"But what about Gaza? You could betray him?"
Rain's tears began to fall. Yes, his Gaza will definitely be disappointed by this decision. But let it be, he won't be with Gaza in the end.
"Don't talk about her again, May." Rain threw his gaze in the other direction while wiping away the tears. He won't look at Maya. She did not want to see the look of mercy from Maya that would make her look fragile.
"Well Rain, I'll help you. I will try to find the highest price for you. You're like a Rain jewel. I want you to be held in high esteem for your virginity."
Rain's tears were pouring out. In his entire life, he had never imagined that he would sell his most precious treasure. Something that should be her husband's absolute right later.
"Talk to me before you accept May's offer. Let me decide."
"All right." Maya replied while nodding.
...*****...
Two days have passed, Rain still hope anxiously waiting for news from Maya. He couldn't wait too long because the hospital kept charging Alan for treatment.
Rain heard the motor stop right in front of his house. He memorized that it was Maya's motorbike. Soon she opened the door for her friend.
Rain pulled Maya in and then shut the door.
"How's May?"
"Sorry Rain, I haven't been able to get a fair price."Answer Maya listlessly. "I can only get 200 million. No one wants to pay more than that."
Rain could only be drowned. What he needs more than that. His mind was worried. He felt that the price was too low for an honor he had always kept. He never did more than kiss during a conversation with Gaza.
"There's actually one more Rain. I just got to know this guy. To be more precise, I've never met this guy. I gave her your picture. But he hasn't responded."
Rain was confused. If plan A fails, he has no plan B. He was really frustrated.
"Do you have any mafia acquaintances selling organs, I want to sell my kidney May."
"Don't be crazy Rain." Pekik Maya's. "Is your brain no longer working? is that illegal?"
"You don't think selling yourself is illegal?"
"Living with 1 kidney is very risky Rain. Forget your crazy desires." Jerky Maya. He strongly disagreed with Rain's idea.
"But I'm confused where to find some money again May." Rain dropped his weight on the chair. Her tears are back. His brain is dead at the moment.
Maya breathes and sits next to Rain.
"Calm Rain, we'll wait one more day. I hope the person who called me yesterday is willing to pay you high. But you have to remember Rain, this job isn't as easy as one might think. Maybe what people think, we just lie down and receive money, but in fact it's not like that. We never know the character of the person we are going to meet. Especially if you remember there are some people who have sexual disorders."
Once upon a time, Maya faced such a person.
