Under The Rain's
Chapter 14—Surprise

It was night time when the love duo Reva and Erin were preparing to end their clutches in a distended stomach. How not, after eliminating the lasagna pan, they ordered a set of dimsum with various kinds of snacks in it. No exception fruit salad and iced coffee scramble a place in the stomach. For Reva, it was one of her best days after all these years of waiting for a friend who truly understood.

Kris's attention wasn't enough for Reva. It's just that the two different creatures of that habit are too often at odds. While Kris is someone who is very sensitive, Reva makes more decisions based on logic. According to Reva, Kris's priorities were also very messy. With the income of Kris at that time, he should also have been able to have his own place to live. However, Kris who lives with the ‘You Only Live Once’ mind-set prefers to wander somewhere with his club motor scrambler, and also buy expensive objects for photography hobbies.

Not wrong indeed, as long as Kris can carefully manage his income-spending. The problem is, sometimes the man does not realize that the balance in his account is too thin when he continues to carry a bottle of gin or vodka.

Every Reva reprimands, the reason Kris is always ‘when else?’ or ‘life it needs to be enjoyed’ or ‘uang can be searched again’. Yes, it is, but for Reva who cares about financial security, it seems that Kris's philosophy of life does not fit him. But nevertheless, Reva did not want to interfere further about how someone spends his income, because it has the potential to cause a dispute. Reva who was dizzy with the writing world was reluctant if she had to just argue with Kris.

Erin's return to Reva's life makes her worry about Kris less. Lost already feeling empty walk without friends. Turns out, Reva wasn't as social as he thought. When that connection and chemistry with Erin came back, she felt her days were better.

Erin who works freelance as a financial consultant can also almost work anywhere remote, while taking care of Ayesha. Unless there is a meeting that needs to be face-to-face. The peak of his busy life was at least at the beginning of the year when he received a job to make annual SPT reports from some of his clients. So, at that time Erin and Reva agreed to always visit each other.

The encounter with Reva herself is still hidden by Erin from her husband, Adji. The reason, Reva does not want if his existence is immediately known by many people. Reva, who often has anxiety disorders, seems to be more peaceful living with limited social interaction. However, with Reva's approval, that day Erin would make a surprise for her husband. Erin accidentally asks to be picked up that night, so that Adji can meet with Reva.

Adji who is in the house of Rafael still have to dwell in front of the laptop along with his friend. It flashed through his mind that it was getting late, and he immediately called his wife to ask her whereabouts. However, the connection has not been connected, the phone from Erin entered first.

“Apicked where?”

“Try out of it.”

“Hah? Out to where?”

“From El's house, I'm in front.”

Adji squinted his eyes and wrinkled in surprise, although he then moved also to look Erin out. He thought, just be careful if his jail wife was just working on it!

“Beb!” erin exclaimed when she saw Adji coming out of Rafael's door. “Follow me, yuk.”

Without much ado, Erin grabbed Adji by the arm and pulled him into the room next to her, which of course sparked protests from her husband. “Where are you, honey?”

“Halo, Dji.”

A second later they were joking even though for Adji, it felt like there were too many questions on his mind to let go of conversing with Reva. While chatting he tried to solve the puzzle of the disappearance of Reva, because to ask himself about it he was very hesitant. In the past when every day met, Reva was difficult to communicate with, especially when they were separated for nine years.

Adji's analysis begins with Reva and Rafael's first date. At that time Rafael told him that he would never let go of Reva. Reva is the best woman Rafael has ever met, and the man is absolutely certain that he will never find such a woman again. Shortly after, they separated. What was?

“We didn't bring El here?” ask Adji on the sidelines of the conversation.

Erin swiftly looked up and put on her anxious face. It gives the code with a small slit and gnashing of teeth. Don'tdon't. Don't discuss. Adji immediately understood, but grew curious about the end of Rafael and Reva's relationship. His childhood spent reading the story of Shinichi Kudo who solved various criminal cases in the body of Conan Edogawa makes the detective soul in him thrashing. *What's up? Why can't I be*bahas?

To be honest, Adji was not good when he had to leave Rafael alone in their exciting chat at that time. The four of them, why did they have to be three? Can't it all come back as good as ever? However, later Adji floated a view over the entire corner of Reva's room. Lots of photos of Reva along with Kris are displayed here and there. Is that the reason? Is her boyfriend Reva so possessive? Feels not.

Laughter was still heard between Reva and Erin, and Adji was still present in their midst with a divided focus. While propping up his chin and squinting, half of his consciousness was trying to remember what Rafael had told him over the past nine years, especially in matters concerning Reva.

Hold still. Shortly after Reva left without news, Rafael married Nadia. At that time the news of his marriage was very shocking among alumni. Two super popular creatures in school will be one, the thing is, they are only twenty years old! Two years after graduating from High School! Tilted gossip certainly circulated from ear to ear, and people's guesses at the time proved to be true. Nadia is pregnant.

After that Rafael tells Adji that his family is really down. No. gabe. Rafael did not expose the disgrace of the fraud that Reva's father had done, he only said that his father who joined the board of directors at a large company had been dishonorably fired. And since then, Mr. Pram began to experience many health problems.

Rafael's family had supported Vienna which has a culinary business. Wina—ibu from Rafael who has a catering— business for a dozen years set aside some of her salary and her husband to open a restaurant. Running for two years, the place was forced to close. Factors there are several, including the busyness of Vienna to take care of Pram who is sick, management and supply of raw materials that are not mature, and the concept of a restaurant that is not in accordance with the market. Plus, at that time Vienna was not alone, but worked with two colleagues and they often had disagreements.

'Vien's Tea Time & Garden Party', his popularity was lost when competing with seblak stalls and meatballs. Unfortunately, at that time it was also not too lively sosmed, so for promotion there was still a lot of relying on advertising and advertising and it was quite expensive, although the range was not broad. In addition, the menu price list there is also quite high. Indeed, anyway, in accordance with the quality and vibe, but for wargi Bandung it was not worth it. Finally, the Rafael family can only rely on the income from catering players who have also accumulated a lot!

Rafael had time off from college and began looking for work, until finally Nadia's father was rich in deciding to finance his college until completion. Nadia who had paid very expensive for one slot in the Business Management department was forced to leave the campus because of Kaia. However, he who has been prepared to continue his parents' business in the field of fashion is not worried. The company will still fall into his hands.

Adji knows most of Rafael's story because they are close friends. In addition to Reva, Rafael also shared a lot with Adji. For the past nine years, there have been not many beautiful stories told by Rafael, only problems after problems that come and go to him.

In hindsight, Rafael did not talk much about Reva either. In fact, he always dodged when Adji asked about the whereabouts of the woman. Raphael refused every time he was invited to visit the residence of Reva, and the look of his face would turn into sad when the name was called. His body would begin to stiffen and his movements would become strange. Rafael always turned and lowered his head, in a bitter voice asking for another topic to discuss. What was?
