...WOE...
...I'm busy missing you, you're busy calming. But, strangely enough, it is not me that you calm down....

Grief is enveloping Nisa's family. After several days of Mama Nisa's coma after the accident, she was finally called by the Creator today. The funeral was held on the same day. Several teachers and class mates Nisa also attended the funeral to strengthen the girl with shoulder-length hair. Dusk, Rain, and Agum also came. They still wear full school uniforms because they go straight to the funeral after school. Not going home first.
While Arnav, the guy had not been in school for a few days because he accompanied Nisa. In fact, right now, in front of Rain's eyes, her boyfriend was hugging Nisa who was crying while wiping her mother's headstone. For the past few days, Rain relented and let Arnav be near Nisa. She also knows what it's like to lose one parent. But, after this, he would not let Nisa get close to Arnav again.
After the funeral was over, people began to scatter away from the cemetery. So also with Nisa who finally wants to go home after being forced by her Papa and Arnav.
"You go first" Rain said to Agum and Dusk.
"Where are you going?" ask Dusk.
"Gue wants Arnav's samperin to stop."
Dusk nodded, then headed towards the parking lot with Agum.
Rain approached Arnav who was walking behind Nisa and also Papa Nisa. "Arnav," called Rain as he managed to grab the guy's hand. "Would you like to go home?" his question was only answered by a nod of the head by Arnav.
"I'm coming home with you, yeah," the girl asked.
"I can't take you, I have to take Om with Nisa home first."
"Yes, you, can take me with you. Anyway, we're in the same direction." Rain looked at Arnav, hoping the guy said “iya”.
"Rain, you were here just like Dusk and Agum, right? They go home, too, right?" arnav replied gently, hoping the brunette girl understood.
"But I want to take you. We haven't seen each other in days either, have we? I miss you."
Rain is not selfish. Only, he was in need of that guy. During these few days, they had not met, even exchanging news just did not.
"Please, dong, you know me this time. I need Nisa, she needs me now." The man's voice sounded like he was begging. Begging to accompany another girl to her own boyfriend.
"I also need you now, Nav," Inner Rain said.
Rain nodded, saying what the man said.
"That's okay, Rain, justin. Nisa's just Arnav's friend, nothing more. You can't be jealous," Inner Rain again. He tried to convince himself even though it was difficult.
"But tomorrow you go to school, right?" ask Rain.
Again Arnav just gave a nod. Then, he went to Nisa and Papa Nisa who were waiting in his car.
Rain stared at Arnav's back nanar who was getting away from his sight. "Why, anyway, Nav? The more days, you're further away from me. You're not the Arnav I used to know."
Unknowingly, a tear fell. Quickly Rain wiped it off with a palm. After that, he approached Dusk and Agum. Those two people must have waited a long time.

Rain did not answer Agum, the girl went straight into the guy's car. Afterwards, Rain opened the windshield and said, "Hurry in!" then he closed the car glass.
"But, who waited a long time for me, who upset him? Cousin lo, tuh, Sen," Agum clucked in annoyance. Dusk then came in and sat down beside Rain.
"Lo, whoa, sitting in the back, anyway, Sen?" ask Agum.
"It's more comfortable here" replied Dusk.
Agum looked at the two cousins in turn. "Lo both think I'm your driver what?"
"Your face is the same as a similar cadet driver" said Rain.
"Lo blind or short-sighted? Just so you know, said Mommy, I am his most handsome son," replied Agum confidently.
Rain rolled his eyes. What parent says their child is ugly? "Yes, your mother must have said that. Lo, right, the only child."
"That's you know." He was lazily arguing with Rain. Agum turned to look at Dusk. "Senja, you sit here, dong," pinta Agum pointed to the bench next to the driver.
"Lo want our anter back or not?" ask Dusk with a threatening tone. "If not, let me find a taxi."
"I'm glad I love you, Sen. If not, I've been living on the side of the road," grumbled Agum while walking quickly, then entered his car and then turned on the car engine leaving the cemetery area that had begun to deserted.

Dusk has shown its bright orange color, a sign of the day has begun to afternoon. The sun on duty today will soon be replaced by the moon. Dusk ran up the stairs to a room next to his, Rain's room. Dusk immediately opened the brown door without knocking it first, making Rain who was lying down immediately raised his head in surprise when he saw the door opened suddenly.
"Lo habit, yes, Dusk," upset Rain.
"Forgotten, the quarry changed." Dusk ordered Rain.
"Where are you going? I'm lazy to go out, not in the mood either." Rain turned back his body. This time, while hugging her pillow and bolster. Then with his eyes closed, he said, "Gue is also sleepy, willing to sleep."
"To the hospital, Rain," Dusk approached Rain, then pulled the pillow and bolster that the girl was hugging.
"Males, uh. Just be there alone." Rain hugged his roll again "Gue send greetings to Brother Kevin the same as Doctor."
"Wheel!" The tone of the voice of Dusk turned higher and it was very creepy in Rain's ears. If the tone of the voice of Dusk is like that, it means that soon the girl will be angry.
Rain wake. "Iss! Okay, okay, let's go to the hospital."
"Speed to change his clothes, Kevin's brother has been waiting for a long time below." After that, Dusk immediately came out, not forgetting he closed the brown door again.
