He's Not The Best
10. Raining

Raining

The rain never said when he was present, but he only gave a sign that he would greet the earth.

It seemed like that was also enough, considering how much water he was going to spill from the sky, it seemed too heavy even just saying, hi.

Rain, do you know that many humans curse you when you cry? But, there are also many who expect your wet touch, which is ....

Bring coolness, remove dryness and warm the love of two people in an interest-filled embrace, while with your presence, they will be more excited.

Rain, sometimes you bear witness to tears. Some women would rather drown themselves in every drop of yours, when they cry because that way, the flow of crying will not be seen.

Rain, accompany those who look like hypocrites, those who cry but can still smile, grieve but look happy, hurt but look fine, or those who want to leave but can't, are ignored but still appreciate the person who ignores them.

Rain, please if you still want to finish your work here, but, do not take too long, because between our lands, there are those who are not ready to hold your water until it becomes painful.

Winsi nodded after Meri asked, trying to convince herself as well as her best friend, that she would be fine. He knew he could not leave when it was raining so heavily like this, his heart was too afraid to pierce through it, with lightning and lightning flashing overhead. There is little regret why Meri's father did not pick them up, carrying an umbrella as usual.

The last person who was with him left, he saw his surroundings that began to quiet, so that, finally he was desperate to go home by running around through the rush of rain. He can take public transport, but he doesn't have the money because it's gone. Of the many rupiahs he had, in fact only able to get a glass of ice Boba.

In his heart he continued to pray for protection from the lightning and lightning that struck. As stated in the Quran Ar Raad verse 12. Winsi has been flanking it well.

A car running at high speed through the water that stagnated on the road, making quite large splashes and hit the body of Winsi. The jacket, the bag and everything he wore became dirty.

“Hai!” winisi shouted in despair, but no matter how strong he shouted could not make the driver of the car stop his vehicle.

“Ah, so dirty, right? I want to go to school tomorrow!” Winston screams annoyed again. Even too upset, he kicked the empty bottle of mineral water in front of him firmly, as an impingement. The bottle was indeed bounced far into the streets, but the resulting unbalanced body made him fall on the sidewalk.

Winsi grimaced with pain in her palms and knees. While worn shoes on his feet increasingly do not want the color. He was upset like some people who cursed when the rain fell, because he thought the rain would destroy all plans.

He stood up from his fallen position earlier, looking fragile with a little sobbing that no one knew, except the Supreme All. The rain had obscured his sight and his tears were flowing almost imperceptibly.

His thin body shivered in the cold, his lips turned blue and began to tremble, it was nothing compared to the pain of being beaten up by a father. He got used to the pain, while the sobbing was just a solace. Not that he's a whiny.

She has graduated, now is bigger because it is seventh grade, must be stronger, until later adulthood she will become a tough and beautiful girl, as her mother said.

Winsi had just stepped in when there was a black sedan car, stopping right beside him.

“Log in!” a man said from behind an open car window. “Come in! You want to go home, right?” There was a lot of rain coming through the window as he spoke.

Seeing Winsi who was just silent, while the rain was still flushing his body, Arkan turned off the engine, got out and circled the car to open the passenger door.

“Come in, let's take you home,” Arkan's remark made him surprised to mention the word father?

Winsi was nervous anyway, but according to Arkan and sat in the passenger seat beside the wheel. Embarrassed he looked at the man who was now sitting dashingly, at a glance. Then, look out at the street in front of him as the car starts to go.

“Why are you raining?”

Asked that, Winsi was confused as to what to answer, because there are so many reasons. Apart from being forced, he had no money to pay for the angkot, no one to pick up and no umbrella anyway. If only there were no lightning, he would be happy with the rain. In any case, Winsi is still a child.

“Sorry, the chair is wet.” Winsi said something else outside the context of Arkan's question. However, the man smiled gently and shook his head.

“It's okay, later it can be dried. Why are you alone, where's your other friend?”

“Already on home.”

“So you're alone, no one picked up?” Winsi was silent and only nodded with her lips clenched.

Usually the girl would talk a lot, but in front of Arkan, she was scared. This man's body is taller than the father's, but the smell of his body when they were close together earlier, was very good, unlike the father.

Arkan took a quick look at the child, with a complicated look. Their journey is not far, because their residence is quite close. She knew that the girl was Runa's and her husband's, and she thought her face was so similar that, seeing the girl, was like seeing the woman she had once loved, when they were teenagers.

The first time he met the woman, while at a crossroads was peddling food. He was shocked and almost in disbelief, who would have guessed that he could now go back to see Runa, after almost twenty years.

They went to the same school in their hometown. After graduating, junior high school, Arkan is required to continue his schooling abroad with both parents who will pioneer their new business there.

Arkan returned to Nusantara after completing his undergraduate education, then, busy developing his own business because he did not want to depend on his parents. He had already forgotten Runa, the sweet girl who had stolen his heart. Time and distance separate them.

Arkan at that time had found the woman of his heart, until the birth of Erlan, the fruit of their love. But the woman who had made him into a complete man, was now gone because of a severe illness that took his life. His wife left, after several years of struggling to survive, befriending his illness.

A year after his wife's death, Arkan decided to move home with the intention of forgetting her, or precisely after Erlan attended elementary school. He had not expected in this new place, to see Runa. The meeting made her recall her old love, but she did not know if Runa remembered their love or not. He knew that each of them was married and had a child, but he was also happy to see Runa's family happy.
