Chap 8's


I blinked my eyes, the light from the window made me wake up even though I was still very sleepy. I just remembered I was at Rey's house.


Geck.. Geck.. Tok


"Sir Alen!!" jessy's voice calls me


"Yes" my mouth


"Breakfast yuk" Jessy replied again


"Yes, I'll take a shower first"


"Sister!!, can Jessy come in?" Ask Jessy


"Can"


Chequek... The door opened and Jessy appeared there carrying a paperbag.


"Sister, this is a school uniform for my sister" Jessy said, handing over the Paperbag in her hand


"Loh" I was amazed, where Jessy got my school uniform from


"Sister, no wonder... This shirt is actually preparation for Jessy if you have entered SMDB" explained Jessy and I immediately understand


"Yes.. If so Jessy to bring first huh? Later sister followed ya" said Jessy waved her hand and left me.


After finishing my morning activities, I went down to join the Rey family, honestly I felt bad if I had to be at Rey's house continuously, but I also did not want to go back to my house.


"Alena, come here" cried Aunt Aulia called out to me


"Eh, yes Auntie" I walked straight to the dining table, I sat opposite Jessy and beside Rey.


"Alena, you have to keep the spirit of living your life, even if you have problems, you also have to keep the spirit of thinking about your future" said Aunt Aulia, I just smiled to hear it and nodded.


"Please let us have a complete family for you" Om Danu said


"Thank you, aunt... Jessy's the same Rey as well" I said happily


"Al relax" Rey said


The little talk is not just a conversation, but I think it means a lot to me, it will be an encouragement in my morning. I will try to start life as usual without thinking anything about my parents. Obviously I was very happy this morning, I hope it will continue this way until things get better again.


Me and Rey. going to school together, Jessy will be in the same Om Danu so no longer need to wait for him.


It did not take long, we have arrived at school, before entering the class I will first face the same homeroom because yesterday I alpa without information, without explanation, and I have to find a logical reason that Ms. Wati can accept. Rey escorted me to the front of Ms. Wati's room.


Geck... Geck... Tok


I knocked on the door, hoping to be opened by Ms. Wati.


"Come in" said a woman inside who was none other than Bu Wati, without waiting for a long time, I immediately turned the doorknob and opened the door, there was Bu Wati who was writing, and there was, I don't know what the data is on him.


"Good morning ma'am" I said to Ms. Wati, but Bu Wati stopped her activity and turned to me.


"In the morning, please sit down" said Bu Wati looking at me sharply


"Alena, where were you yesterday?" mom Wati asked me, I was nervous about what to answer, where might I say that I skipped yesterday


"Yesterday there was a family problem" I answered honestly


"Why was there no evidence of you yesterday?" I have to answer what if Bu Wati keeps seasoning me questions


"I did not have time to make a statement from Mom, yesterday I did not expect if. "I did not continue my words, I do not want to open this way in front of Ms. Wati.


"If what?" hardik Bu Wati steady me sharp


"Sorry Mom, I won't repeat it again" I replied turning Bu Wati's question down


"Hufhh, Alena you don't repeat it again, now you can go out" said Bu Wati, I immediately stood leaving my Class Guard in his room.


When I came out, Rey was still waiting for me in front of Ms. Wati's room. I just smiled at him and walked over, Rey didn't ask me anything about what Bu Wati asked me, wasn't she curious?. Along the way many thought we were lovers but I immediately dodged, many who knew Rey along the corridor, but only a day I was alpa but Rey was already a popular student, what did Rey do yesterday?, Rey immediately became the pursuit of women at school, yesterday Rey also came home quickly. After becoming an upperclassman, Rey became the subject of conversation in the SMDB group, probably because Rey was too handsome.


"You've got a lot of Rey fans" I said


"Yes that way" Rey chuckled


"Nothing" replied Rey flatly


"You angry?" looking at Rey's flat face, it scared me if she got angry because I was mocking her


"Why am I angry? You are so quick to get it wrong" replied Rey who made me restless


"Then let's go to class" invited by Rey.


We walked into the classroom, all gazing at the two of us but I tried to stay ordinary. I wonder everyone, why if you see women and men walking with them always misunderstand it, all they have in mind is love, lovers, bucin, dating and so on, whereas sometimes there are walking with his brother or sister, like me and Rey who are just friends but misinterpreted by everyone, is there no other prejudice?. Seeing everyone staring at us like that makes me uncomfortable.


"Didn't you guys have another spectacle besides us? " much as firm


Suddenly everyone turned their eyes but not Arisa, she just stood towards my place.


"What's wrong? You uncomfortable? Alena, you can't deny that you're just best friends, even you and Rey are home... Shameless" Arisa said as she folded her hands, I growled to hear her say that


"Even I saw you two run off in the morning together, if you're just friends, then why do you always go together?" keep Arisa who makes me even more furious.


Rey immediately stood up from her seat, it seemed like she was going to open her voice this time.


"Sometimes what you see is different from the fact, if you don't want to be stamped as a stalker rat, then don't be pretentious about other people's lives" Rey said casually staring at everyone in turn


Perhaps Arisa was at a loss for words, finally she chose to return to her seat with her shy face, the base of the stalking rat, the class calmed down again after Rey raised her voice. I'm still thinking, how does Arisa know if I live in Rey's house?, is she really a stalker rat? All right, I'll call it a stalker rat.

All hours of lessons have ended, fortunately I did not experience difficulties from every material brought by the teacher.


Cring... Cring... Crates


The doorbell rang right at 15:00, Rey took me to the lake to just calm my mind so as not to feel too much burden, but Bu Wati held me back.


"What's wrong, ma'am?" I asked Bu Wati who was standing right in front of me


"Tomorrow you call your parents here" said Bu Wati made me immediately look at Rey.


"Eh, what's wrong, ma'am? "


"A little improvement to your grades yesterday, it happens that yesterday there were three subjects that held a replay, but you did not face each subject teacher equally, so, so that your grades remain safe, have your parents come to sign a letter of agreement so that you do not repeat it again, as well as you also face the same teacher of English, Mathematics, Physics" said Bu Wati and I just admired, then Ms. Wati left us, after Ms. Wati left I asked Rey this question, but instead Rey said she didn't do it either.


"But why aren't you called by Bu Wati?" ask me for wonder


"I told Si Dion to do all my retooling, so my grades are safe even if I don't exist" Rey explained, Dion is a scholarship boy who always cheats children if there is a difficult task, as well as Rey


"But there are absences that prove Rey"


"And if the Absent replicates through the assignment, if the assignment is there, it means the person is also there" explained Rey and then laughed, I also laughed to hear it, really ignorant.


Then we continued on our way home, and I planned to go home to see Mama Papah. I have to be strong, however they remain my parents and I'm sure there's a way behind this....


Rey took me out to the lake before I went home, suppose that the lake is a secret place for both of us because no one knows if there is such a beautiful place in this city that is free from urban hustle and bustle even though it is still in the city area.


"Rey? You tau? I'm so happy to have a friend like you, how about you?" I asked Rey, I don't know why I asked this


"You always say that, I'm happy to know you too" Rey smiled


On the way to the lake, Rey stopped her car, I looked out the window and there was a gulali dealer, Rey getting off the car.


"Wait here" Rey interrupted as she got off the car which I only answered with a nod


I could only see from inside Rey's car walking towards the gulali merchant and the gulali merchant offering his wares, Rey took fifty thousand coins out of her pocket, but it looks like the gulpter turned down Rey's money and it looks like Rey forced the merchant to take the money, and Rey put the money in the gulpier's hands and took a pack of gulalis, looks like Rey is giving a little alms to the gulpter, seeing such a good Rey I'm really amazed. Rey then walked back to the car carrying a pack of gulali in her hand.


"Rey? You bribed the gulp?"


"Hahaha, I just want to share with him, you don't get me wrong" Rey replied as she gave me a pink gulali


"Thank you"


"But you were forced" I said again when Rey drove the car, not forgetting to tax the gulpier as we passed by


"He refused because the price of the gulali was not worth the money I gave" explained Rey who was still focused on driving


I just replied with a nod
