The Price is an HONOR
TIME TO RISE UP

Rain opened his eyes slowly. He looked to the side, there was no man by his side. Rain slowly began to wake up, thinking that the man was in the bathroom.

Rain wants to get his phone. But the net found something other than a cell phone there. Rain picked up a piece of paper lying next to his phone.

Sorry I didn't get to say goodbye. I had an important meeting this morning. Your bonus money I've transferred everything.

Thanks for last night.

After reading the letter, Rain picked up his phone. It was already 9am. His fingers moved quickly to check his account balance. Sure enough, the man had already transferred everything.

Rain immediately cleaned up and prepared to go home.

At Rain's house, Maya is pacing back and forth like an iron. The girl had not slept all night thinking about Rain. She was afraid something bad might happen to Rain.

Hearing the sound of the car engine stopping in front of the house, Maya immediately ran to see who was coming.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Rain get off the taxi in good health.

"Finally you come home with Rain, I'm really worried about you." Maya approaches Rain and immediately embraces her.

"I don't papa May, let's go in." Rain was happy to see Maya who looked very worried about him. At least there are still people who care about him right now.

"I'll prepare breakfast for you Rain. You must be tired and hungry." Maya picked up the rice packet she bought this morning.

"I'm sorry if it's cold, I don't think you're coming home this afternoon."

"It's okay, May." Rain immediately opened the rice wrap in front of him and ate it slowly.

"You're okay, aren't you Rain? That guy didn't do anything bad?" Maya looks very anxious. He observed every part of Rain's body. He was afraid if that person played rough and injured Rain.

"I'm good May, you don't have to worry."

"After this I'm going to the bank to transfer your money Rain."

"Take your share May."

Maya shook her head quickly. He promised himself that he wouldn't take Rain's money. In fact, there is a right in it.

"No Rain, I don't want a penny. I'll transfer the full to you. Rest after this, you must be tired. Let me see Alan at the hospital."

"I'll be in the hospital after this. I didn't see him yesterday. I miss Alan."

"You just take a break Rain. I know you must be tired and sleepy. Let me go to the hospital." As a person who first jumped into this world, Maya clearly knows how tired it is to serve customers all night. Moreover, this was a first for Rain, he must still be shocked and unfamiliar.

"I'm not tired, May, nor am I sleepy. I slept all night and just woke up at 9 a.m. How could I be sleepy again."

Maya responds to Kat Rain with a smile. Maya thinks Rain is lying. Especially if the customer pays dearly, it is certain that the person does not want to waste time. Surely all night full worked out.

"Don't pretend to be strong Rain, just take a break. I'm getting sad to see you who pretended to be strong like this. Cry if you want to cry. I know this isn't easy for you, Rain."

Rain smiled bitterly. Crying, I think he's tired. Her tears were already too much she threw away.

"There's no time for me to cry, May. My tears are dry. Now it's time for me to get up and reorganize my messy life. Don't ever talk about that one last night. Let's just say it never happened. I'll also consider last night a dream."

"I didn't think you'd be this strong as Rain."

"There's been a lot of trials that I've had this 6 months May. Now it's time for me to get up. I hope this is the end of all my problems. Only me, you, that man and God knew about last night. I wish we could keep this secret good. Not save more precisely, but forget."

"Rain." Maya cries while hugging Rain. Maya is grateful that Rain is becoming a stronger girl now.

...******...

Rain waved his hand with a smile towards Alan when he saw his sister was practicing walking. Although still slow, Alan was able to walk. And that's worth being grateful for.

After Alan finished therapy, Rain invited him to sit on a bench in the hospital room.

"Are you tired? Ma'am brought you your favorite cake." Rain opened the plastic package he had bought.

"Taraa..." Said Rain while showing Alan's favorite brownie. But unexpectedly, Alan did not seem happy at all.

"Why did you lie to Al?"

"What do you mean Al?" Rain did not understand Alan's direction.

"I remember the accident. An accident that made me like this. Don't hide anything from Al Mbak. What really happened to my mom and dad?" Alan looked at Rain's two eyes, which began to look glassy.

"Have your father and mother died?" Alan's tears began to drip, his body trembling. She was afraid to hear the truth that her parents were dead. Because since he realized, his parents never once visited, not even the phone.

Rain wiped his tears. It's not good news, but Alan deserves to know.

Rain shook his head "Father is still alive, but Mother died on the spot at the time of the accident." Rain could not help but hold back his tears that had seeped back.

"Mother....." Alan was crying. Her chest is very sick. He didn't think his mother would leave so soon.

"Prophe Al, you still have a father and mother." Rain hugged Alan to give him strength.

"Then why didn't you ever come see Alan?"

"Dad... " Rain hesitated to say it.

"Dad why Ma'am? don't cover anything from Al. Al deserves to know everything." Urge Alan.

"Dad's in jail."

Alan was shocked to hear it. His father was a good man, how could he go to jail.

"Jailed, but why Ma'am?" Alan's tears were breaking, he didn't think his family was this broken as long as he was in a coma.

"I'm sorry, Mrs Al. Dad's in jail for saving Mama. Father_" Rain could not continue his sentence.

"Dad killed a loan shark who wanted to rape Mbak."

"Kill?" Alan's heart was broken. I can't believe that a man as good as his father is a murderer. The father he had always been proud of was currently in custody.

"Rentenir? since when did you deal with loan sharks? Is this because of Alan? Do you owe moneylenders for Alan's medical expenses? Tell Ma'am, Alan please tell me the truth."

Rain shook his head "Don't blame yourself Al. It's not all your fault."

"Al should have died with Mother Ma'am. Al shouldn't trouble father and mother." Alan beat his chest tight. He feels very guilty. He is the source of his family's destruction.

"Don't be like this Al." Rain tries to stop Al from beating himself up.

"Al should have died Ma'am."

"Never talk like that again. Do not disappoint your dead father and mother looking for fees for your treatment. If you feel guilty, live well."

"I'm sorry Al Mbak, Al promised to repay all that he had done for Al. From now on Al will replace the duties of the father as the head of the family. Al will take care of Mommy and Dad."

The two brothers hugged while crying. They strengthen each other.
