Not Just a Dream
The torment of many

Renata is like a living statue, a warm feeling that touches the pores of his head until the face is still felt. However, he could do nothing but accept his cousin's extremely vile treatment. Several times trying to avoid, Karin is increasingly cruel and does not give her mercy.

"How many times have I told you, if you make a sweet tea," said Karin ketus.

The girl who was still wearing a white uniform with a short black skirt immediately pulled Renata's hair until the empress grimaced.

"Letting off the foot, sick," complained Renata holding Karin's hand that was gripping tightly strands by strands of hair.

No defense, aunt seems calm with what is happening in front of her. The pain Renata was experiencing was like a spectacle to them.

Karin immediately pushed Renata to stagger and fall. His back hit the wall, until a sense of linu spread all over his body.

Renata sobbed while stroking his scuffed knee. It seems Karin is not satisfied if she has not seen herself hurt.

Mother, help me.

Karin approached and crouched down in front of Renata, raising the girl's chin with her index finger. His gaze was sharp like an arrow bow that was ready to slide.

"It's nothing compared to what you're doing. Because you're dead, and because of you I can't go to college."

Renata as he pleased, the shadow of the uncle flashed, because saving him uncle had to be hit by a motorbike and died. That's what made aunt and Karin hate him so much. It was also what made Renata unable to leave them.

"I'm sorry, brother. I don't want my uncle to die either" Renata said.

Aunty's eyes glazed over, not out of pity for Renata, but in light of her late husband's tragic death.

"Sorry you won't be able to return your uncle, now you're cooking!" titah Aunt.

Aunty wiped her tears and passed towards the room. Karin came from behind. Although it was a long time ago, Bibi and Karin still could not forget the incident just like that, and continued to torture Renata as a form of revenge.

I can't return uncle, but I've been the backbone of this house for years, is all this still lacking? 

Just standing up, the sound of knocking on the door made Renata turn her body. With a limp path he opened the front door. 

How surprised to see a man who is no stranger to him. 

"You!"

Renata and the man who was staring at the door pointed at each other.

"Well, you live in Karin's house?" The man's face looked pale and nervous. Sometimes he stroked the neck of his neck. Meeting Renata, the woman who had been abused at her boyfriend's house turned out to be more frightening than meeting a lioness in the forest.

"Why are you here?" ask Renata back. 

Gripping his shirt on the chest, it still remembered in his mind when the man did something indecent to him.

"I want to see Karin, she's my boyfriend." Started nervous and misbehaved.

Renata scrunched his forehead and shook his head. He did not believe the man's words. 

"Toni, don't come in." Karin's voice came from behind.

Renata turned her head, looking at Karin who was at the door of her room.

Gawat, if Renata reaches the story, surely Karin will break up me. 

"Do you know him?" renata asked while pointing at the man named Toni.

Karin approached Toni and grabbed her hand.

"You envy me having a girlfriend as handsome as her," Karin said grinning.

It seems like Karin hates her so much, it means that I can more easily silence the mouth of this cute girl.

Karin pulls Toni's hand and invites her in. Not even a little chance for Renata to explain everything.

Does sister Karin know the man's behavior.

Renata returns to the kitchen, not wanting to see Karin's anger again.

"Cock us here?" ask Karin when Toni's car comes in the nightclub yard.

"Why? It's more fun here" replied Toni casually.

It's not their first time dating, but it's the first time Tony has invited her to the place.

Cold sweat began to pour, although he was very fierce to Renata, Karin is not the type of woman who likes to roam, let alone to the nightclub.

"Just calm down, honey. You just accompany me for a drink, nothing more" Toni explained when she saw the fear on Karin's face.

Forced Karin nodded and removed her seat belt. He threw away the fear that settles, for whatever sake he believes in Toni who will not do anything to him.

The atmosphere is very lively, from the front of the music dj has been heard, the visitors come in and out of the place. Karin paused for a moment to hold back her racing heart seeing some people staggering, even from them already fumbling with very strange words. His eyes continued to comb every visitor who passed by there.

"Ton, I'm afraid, we'd better find somewhere else," Karin pulled Toni's hand. Her fine fur stood up while nudging someone with an incomprehensible look.

"You take it easy, I'll take care of you."

"All right, I'm coming."

Karin clasped tightly onto Toni's hand, splitting the crowd under dim lights.

"Hi Ton, you're here?" greet someone sitting next to Toni.

His eyes glanced at Karin at a glance. 

"Who's this?" ask the man.

"He's Karin, my girlfriend." Karin lowered her head, between fear and shame, she had already dared to enter the place and break her promise to the father.

***

It's almost ten in the night. However, Renata could not close his eyes. He still remembered the incident that almost took away his honor at that time.

"Hopefully Toni didn't do anything to Karin's sister."

Renata woke up and sat on the edge of the bed, staring at some of the paintings that were still in disarray.

"If I could sell the painting, my life would not be this miserable" Karin murmured.

Not regretting the fate of God, but Renata felt all in vain, his struggle that had soared as if drowned in the bottom of the deep sea that made him unable to rise again.

Renata came out of her room and knocked on the door of aunt's room.

"Bi, is Kak Karin home yet?" shouted Renata.

Chequelek

The door is wide open

Aunt did not answer, but her face looked agitated.

His eyes stared at the food on the table, all the same as when he slept.

"Bi, I know who Toni is, she's not a good man for Karin's sister."

Plaques

A slap landed on Renata's cheek violently. 

"Then you want to say that Toni is a jerk."

That's right, Bi. But how do I explain it. 

In fact, Renata could only speak inwardly, his fear greater than uncovering an actual fact.
