Not Just a Dream

Not Just a Dream
Get out of the house


The door opened hard. The sound of Karin who had just arrived echoed filled the room of the simple house. Renata opened his eyes and gazed towards the door as his name was vaguely called out, swiftly the girl woke up and walked out. He stared at Karin who was sculpting in the living room. His face looks pias with both hands ruffled waist.


"Sister called me?" asked Renata without fear.


There's no answer. However, Karin's gaze was so sharp that Renata shrieked.


Karin threw her bag and walked over to Renata who was staring at the door of her room.


Both are just a few cent away. Karin pulled Renata's long hair until she looked up.


"What did you say to Tony?" ask Karin with tightened teeth.


Renata shook his head, "I never said anything, Brother," said Renata in a trembling voice, holding his chest in pain.


"Don't lie!" karin stressed.


"I'm serious, brother. I never said anything" Renata reassured.


Karin takes off her trap violently to make Renata flinch.


"Do you think I believe in your words" Karin said. His face grew red when he remembered the story of Toni who said that Renata had teased him.


"It's up to you to believe who you are, but you need to know that you're not lying."


Just turning her body, Karin pushed Renata's body down. Her scuffed legs are now getting worse until the girl grimaces in pain.


Unsatisfied just like that, Karin walked up to some neatly lined paintings. His hand stretched out to take the beautiful painting that was displayed on the wall.


Knowing that, Renata got up and limped closer to Karin.


"This is going to happen, brother?" asked Renata on the sidelines of her cries.


Karin held up the painting until the shorter Renata could not reach her.


Renata keeps maranggeh Karin's hand sticking up. But in vain, Karin dropped it right behind Renata until the frame made of glass broke instantly.


Renata looked at his painting which was now on the floor with a pushy look. For days, even almost a month he polished it, but not even a little appreciated. 


"Why would you ruin my painting?" Renata crouched down picking up the scattered pieces of glass.


Karin took one step forward and stepped on Renata's hand which was on the glass.  


Aawww, ringis Renata as a deep red stain begins to adorn his lentic finger.


"Once again you dare to tease Toni, I will not forgive you" Karin threatened. 


After Karin came out of the room, Renata got up and sat down on the edge of the bed. He wiped his remaining tears and clenched his hands.


"I've sacrificed a lot for you. I've been willing to be trampled on by everyone just to make you happy, but what I got, was just endless torment. I promised myself. From today no one will be able to demean me anymore, including the two of you.''


Renata got up and walked towards the drawer, wrapped his hands in bandages and turned towards the cupboard, swiftly unloading all his clothes, grabbing the backpack and opening it.


"I have to get out of here, I don't want sister Karin and aunt to torture me again, I have to be able to be like them, I have to be able to change myself for the better.''


Without a second thought, Renata walked out of Aunt's house.


The night was getting late, the streets were very quiet, but Renata did not stop his steps that began to stagger. He continues down the road. Only with the help of the lights could he continue to tread aimlessly.


Unknowingly, Renata arrives in front of the company where she works. His injured knee grew so sore that he was forced to find a place to stop.


Renata used her bag as an umbrella and ran towards the gazebo beside the road.


Confused, Renata could only stare at the passing car. Is does not know the direction and purpose, which is in his brain at this time must stay away from people who hate him.


"I don't want to go back to aunt's house, I don't want them to hurt me anymore."


The drizzle disappeared, Renata moved and pecked at the lip of the road. Just wanting to cross over, a dazzling beam of lights made Renata retreat. But unfortunately, his feet stepped on a rock to make him fall. 


The car stopped right beside Renata, the girl grimaced without standing up. Slipping the lower part of the waist that feels linu because it hit the asphalt.


A man wearing a pitch-black suit got down from the car and walked up to him, wordlessly the man reached out his hand towards the frightened looking Renata.


After a few minutes of silence. Renata heard the man.


"I'm not a bad person." The heavy voice greeted.


Slowly Renata looked up at the dashing man standing in front of him.


"Don't be afraid, I'll help you" said the man.


Renata received the helping hand and stood up. How surprised to see a familiar face.


He's Bagas sir, why isn't he disgusted at me?


"My name is Bagas Ankara, the owner of this company." Designate the building where he works.


Renata bowed his head, embarrassed to face the characters who were predicted by his good looks, they were like heaven and earth that would not be able to unite.


Renata grabbed her bag and sat back down, while Bagas followed Renata and sat down next to her.


"Who's your name? Why are you still out there like this?" Bagas glanced at Renata's bag beside him.


"I want to leave the house, I can no longer accept the treatment of my aunt and sister Karin. They keep hurting me, but all this time I've always followed their will." Unconsciously Renata complained to Bagas with his very heartbreaking fate.


Bagas reviews smiles.


"I can help you, and I'm sure they won't be able to hurt you again."


"Now we know first." Bagas extended his hand towards Renata.


Almost Renata received a helping hand from Bagas, a car stopped behind Bagas' car until Renata pulled his hand back.


A stranger came down to Renata.


"Mas Derya, exclaimed Renata. His heart was pounding fiercely at the sight of the person he admired smiling towards him.


"Follow me!" 


Derya grabs Renata's hand, feeling cared for, Renata follows Derya's steps towards the car.


Turns out Mr. Bagas is good too, I guess he's a very cold CEO like people's stories. 


After being satisfied looking at Bagas who was still pecking at the side of the road, Renata turned to look at Derya who was busy with her steering wheel. 


Why does Derya care about me, but all this time she's always been ignorant.
