Rainbow In Someone's Cloud
Pdp10. The Truth about Rai

"Dad…." I looked at my father trembling. 

I was afraid to talk, because I was afraid of being distracted and adding to my parents' worries. Meanwhile, I still want everything to be fine without them having to worry about me and Rai. 

"Udah, that's…." Dad took his breath. "Gih get out first, Kal. I want to nemenin Cani sleep first, the prescription of the drug tell his brother-in-law aja nebusin." Dad opened the door, indirectly telling Kal to leave my room immediately. 

"Yes, Dad." Kal stepped out of my room. 

"Dad, i…." I looked at the father who stepped towards my bed, I was afraid that he would corner me and scold me.

"What matters now is that you're okay, Dek." He laid his body beside me, then hugged me. 

Suddenly I remembered the man who came home with me. "Well, is Rai okay? What's he sick of?" I faced his body and felt a soothing scent from my father. 

"He's doing fine." My breath sounds heavy. 

Did my return with Rai become a burden of thought for my family? Rai is very good, I think. In fact, he did not dare to touch me even though he was joking like Kaf's custom. However, everyone was prejudiced that Rai and I were like a husband and wife. 

Indeed they did not accuse like that directly, but everything they said seemed to speak in that direction. Do they think I can act that way with a conscious mind? 

A few hours I fell asleep and went back to filling my stomach. My thoughts are only with Rai, has he been escorted home or secured by the police? 

"Biyung, want to look at Rai," I said after finishing my meal. 

"He's resting, Deck. Kal came here, entered the drug again through the infusion." Biyung gave me a glass of water. 

"What's? Rai infused?" I'm not used to hearing this, because he looked very healthy yesterday. 

"Yes, the stomach opening he said. If his stomach is empty, he feels comfortable. If his stomach fills, he feels his stomach hurt. If left empty is a danger too, yesterday he did not eat." Biyung explanation makes me more curious to see the state of Rai. 

"Where was my veil? I'll see Rai first." I dyed and rushed over to put on my face cover, before I finally opened Rai's room. 

Shocked? Evidently. Rai fell asleep, but Vendra's brother who became a member of the police special section is near Rai. Dad was in the room, talking in a very soft tone. 

"Well.." Call me soft, my fear is soaring. 

I have imagined Rai in this condition and must be imprisoned because the case is not finished. 

Father and om Vendra turned simultaneously towards me. Father turned to face his sister, then spoke with a hand gesture as well. Om Vendra nodded his head, not knowing what father told him. 

"Dad…. Rai don't go to jail." Please with a trembling voice. 

What about me if Rai goes to jail? If he comes home, maybe we can still communicate. He must still be my friend. 

"Shttt…." Om Vendra put his index finger in front of his lips. 

Dad walked towards me. Then dad closed the door to the room Rai was in and pulled me away from there. 

Dad shifted my attention. "No, Dad. But don't imprison Rai." I broke down and instead cried while bowed. 

"Hi…." Dad took me to sit in the living room. 

"Stranquil, Deck." Dad rubbed my back. 

I kept my head down and let out my fear through tears. I know I'm overdoing it, but this thing can't be withheld. 

"Why do you think Rai should go to jail?" Dad put his head on my head, then he shook his back left and right. So as to make my position move in rhythm like the movement of the father. 

"He's DPO." I replied with a loud breath. 

"Hmm, you know. So don't like Rai, Dek."

I saw Dad's face. I don't admit it, but why would you say something like that? 

"You're home, you're whole and you're fine. Rai has admitted who he is and what he did wrong, so the relationship between the kidnapper and the victim is over because the victim has been returned." Dad smiled broadly. 

His hands were outstretched, his fingers memorizing my tears. I was still silent, I suddenly wanted to save Rai's name in front of my father, because Rai himself opened his mouth about who he was. 

"He didn't kidnap me, he needed a friend to survive in the wild." I hold the veil in my mouth, I get confused why I even speak as if defending Rai. 

"Okay, so you're friends now? You have a life, Rai has a life of his own. Make friends to the limit, the rest do not expect that he is your life partner. He considered me ugly, even though I was honest. Not because she's a DPO, not because she's a big-ticket touts, but because she stole Dad's daughter."

I swallowed my saliva. I didn't know I liked Rai or not, but father's words seemed to paralyze the fun in my heart. I am happy to be back home and feel the warmth of the family again, but by returning home I will now not be able to get the softness and comfort of Rai again. 

I was very disappointed to hear my father's words. 

"Rai will give himself up as DPO all this time, but he wants to be given time first."

I was still in a state of silence enjoying the tightness of the taste and I did not understand this. I could only listen to all the words of my father, listen and deduce for myself about all that I had heard from my father. 

"He wants to be healthy, he wants to work for one month. He wanted to send money to his family and send a letter, then he turned himself in to the police." 

I can only swallow my saliva back. It's not a good thing, although I know Rai has remained free for some time. Because what? Because after that we won't meet because he has to serve a sentence. 

"Later night he was transported to the clinic, if after the infusion of this he had not changed. Maybe he will work as a porters in a material store, because the cashier's work requests him and he feels able."

I suddenly smiled behind my veil. At least, I can still have time to enjoy being friends with Rai. 

"Don't think you'd be together, Dek. I'm afraid of that guy Rai's name, I'm afraid he's taking you away again. Meanwhile, college you take a break first. You have to stay home together, you can't leave the house without Dad's permission. Once he's healthy, he'll have a room. I'm afraid that if he stays here, I'm traumatized that you were taken away." Dad took my right hand. 

For the past few days, Rai and I have been trying to warm each other up, even just by clutching each other's fingers. I don't know exactly how I feel about her, but I feel like she can always warm my fingers later.
