Rainy
Reasons Behind the Pain

Rainy was still quite conscious when Aksa swept him towards the UKS. Of course, he helped Aldo who was equally worried. Dizziness in his head made Rainy unconscious if they had arrived in the UKS.

Rainy was laid on the bed that was provided in the room. His eyes closed when he felt the dizziness in his head becoming more and more, it made Rainy not pay attention to the surroundings.

His eyes opened when Rainy heard the door open. The curtain on the sibak and Aksa appeared from there. Rainy was surprised and reflexively wanted to get up to sit down but the dizziness back at him made Rainy grimace.

“Sleep,” said Aksa, pushing Rainy's shoulder gently so that the girl would come back on her back.

“Gue sleep?” asked Rainy who was replied with a nod of the head by Aksa.

“If you still sleep again. Lo hasn't really healed yet,” said Aksa.

The guy reached out his hand, sticking his palm on Rainy's forehead which the girl only realized there was a byebye fever there. While Rainy looked at Aksa who looked so worried.

“Still hot,” says Aksa.

“Kata Bu Dela, you seem to lack sleep. Your stomach is also empty, plus the same rain. So when you wake up, Ms. Dela tells you to take medicine. Because your stomach is empty, I go to the canteen to buy bread with water,” added Aksa.

Ms. Dela is a health worker who is assigned by the school to care for sick children.

He had already left when Aksa was going to the cafeteria, so Aksa hurriedly because Rainy had no one to guard while Aldo had already returned to his class because the next lesson hours would be a repeat.

Aksa thrust her breadcrumbs and a bottle of mineral water into Rainy's lap. The girl was still silent even when Aksa painstakingly opened the bread parcel and mineral water seal.

“Gue is not yet laper,” said Rainy who actually has no appetite.

Aksa snorted and still forced Rainy to accept the opened bread. “If you want to get sick no papa, do not eat until tomorrow can also. But at least the pricein my dong who is willing to run for this dapetin.”

“And I didn't tell you to buy bread,” timpal Rainy.

Aksa who was getting upset then took back the bread. “Kalo lo tetep ngeyel, I bribe you. What are jejelin? Let one loaf of bread one bribe?”

Rainy glared sharply at hearing that. He took the bread back and ate it immediately. Although it felt good, and made her slightly nauseous, Rainy still tried to swallow it.

Aksa smiled faintly at Rainy who started to finish the bread he bought with full effort. Then Aksa sat on the chair beside the bed.

“Lo why can sampe gini? I mean, yes I included the same sick part of this lo. But, when we met you still seem to seger. But, earlier Miss Dela said you sleep less the same as your stomach is empty. What is it from the morning that you do not eat? Do you stay up too?” ask Aksa.

Rainy fell silent, not answering Aksa's question. Because it was true, Rainy stayed up late or had to stay up late and this morning only ate two pieces of toast, which obviously could not keep him full for longer.

There's a reason that makes Rainy that way.

Ever since Rainy came home in a soaked shirt, Rainy went to take a shower. But, it turns out that after taking a bath Rainy felt a bit less well. His head was a little dizzy but not too.

When having dinner with Aunt Risa, Rainy again felt her head getting throbbing but still Rainy held it even until Aunt Risa did not realize that Rainy's face was a bit pale.

Rainy wants to rest, but Aksa instead asks Rainy to be accompanied to the minimarket. With somewhat (very) forced, Rainy finally wanted to.

Luckily on foot, Rainy wears a hoodie and leaves her hair untied, so Aksa won't notice her face. Plus the streets are a little dark, so the more make a pale face Rainy is not too visible.

Once separated from Aksa, who drove Rainy to the front of the house, of course, as the responsibility of the man for taking Rainy out. Rainy went into his room when he did not find Aunt Risa watching TV, maybe Aunt Risa had entered his room.

Rainy was about to lay down his body when he heard the notification from his phone that he was still holding. From the pop-up screen Rainy could already see who was sending the message, and instantly made his feelings unpleasant.

The head that had felt a bit dizzy was now getting dizzy after Rainy read the message sent from his stepmother.

Aunt Devi

Hello, Sweetheart. How do you feel after not getting a transfer?

Still alive, right? Or else begging your aunt?

Oh yea! This is just the beginning of what Mami will love you because there are many other surprises.

If you're angry with Mami, be angry. Here, Mami just ingetin you let you realize, if without us, without our money, you will not be able to live.

You still have a chance to live better if you come back. You can eat well, sleep in a more decent place. And if you are still stubborn, please wait for gifts from Us one by one.

Rainy smiled smirkily. The trap was right, not his father who did not want to send money, but his stepmother was the one who stood in the way. Even this was only the beginning of what her stepmother would do in the future.

But, is Rainy coming back?

Sure didn't!

Rainy won't come back that easy, Rainy is tired of living in a family that isn't like family. Rainy won't return to a house that isn't his home. Rainy no longer has a home.

But, even so, the message sent by her stepmother still made Rainy who wanted to rest unable to close her eyes. His mind became chaotic and made the pain in his head increase.

That night, Rainy could only sleep for three hours because Rainy slept while listening to music. And make the morning not spirit even his appetite is lost.

The matter of her stepmother, let Rainy think for yourself.

Aksa snorted again, after a heavy sigh from the man's mouth. “Finally you admit that you are sick again?” he said with a slightly cynical tone.

Rainy grimaced, he only gave a small nod in response.

“Oh yes, not now already in? How not to class?” Rainy only remembered when his eyes glanced at the clock on the wall of the UKS.

Aksa patted his eel, forgetting about it. “Gue phone Ardi first. Hopefully the teacher hasn't entered.”

After that, Aksa took out her phone from her pants pocket. His hand fiddled and then stuck the flat object into his ear.

“Halo, Ar .. ”

“ … ”

Rainy could not hear their conversation because Aksa was a bit distant. A while later, Aksa returned again with a face that looked somewhat relieved.

“Gurunya has not entered, but he said it would come. I can't get permission because there's no reason. But I told Ardi that you were sick again, in the UKS. He also asked me to drop off to class for fear that his teacher would step in again. So ... ”

Aksa hesitated to say the next sentence, but Rainy understood what Aksa was going to say.

“Lo to class only. I also wouldn't say if I lived alone. There are still some UKS kids here, and I'm not the only one who's sick in this room. I'm also sleepy, want to sleep for a while.”

Despite still doubts, Aksa finally nodded. “Lo take medicine first I go.”

Without asking for it, Rainy would. After taking the medicine, Aksa again breathed a sigh of relief and smilingly looked at Rainy. His hands stretched out to rub Rainy's head.

“Gue go first, later if there is a jamkos, I come directly here,” said Aksa.

Rainy was stunned to feel that swipe. He could only nod stiffly and stare at Aksa who turned around to go to class. Rainy lay down, starting to close his eyes which still felt heavy.

Throughout the lesson, Aksa is difficult to focus. His thoughts continued to be on Rainy who he left behind in the UKS. After the teacher who taught finished and left, Aksa immediately asked Ardi if after this there were still teachers who would enter or not.

“Kalo is not wrong, now we are again jamkos. Last picket teacher said the teacher who taught now again permission does not enter.”

Hearing that Aksa felt very happy. Aksa quickly left his class to go to the UKS, which is located on the lower floor. But, as soon as Aksa was about to go down the stairs, suddenly someone stopped him.

Widya stood in front of Aksa, smiling sweetly with narrowed eyes, but was instead countered by Aksa with a sharp and piercing look.

“Soaring!” titah Aksa's.

“Lo again jamkos right? I also. How about we go to the cafeteria, keep going around the school? Look at the scenery on the rooftop as well,” Widya invites.

Aksa scrunched his forehead. Why does Widya know that she's a jamkos now?

Though Widya can know because she has a spy in Aksa's class. Vienna told him, and he was happy when Vienna told him there was no Rainy because the girl was sick.

“Gue no business,” says Aksa.

Widya did not want to step aside, instead she took a step forward to get closer to Aksa.

“Means me first.”

Aksa stared increasingly sharply. “Lo if I don't want to step aside, I push until it falls, want?”

Widya poked her lips in annoyance. “Kok lo rough?”

Aksa smiled obliquely as both of her hands crossed in front of her chest. “Side or I push?”

Seeing Aksa's sharp gaze that was enough to frighten her, Widya finally shifted her body to give Aksa a path. Although in his heart berated, but there was nothing Widya could do for fear that Aksa would actually push him.

Though, Aksa is unlikely to really push Widya who is a woman. Aksa just threatened. After getting the road, Aksa ran back.

Aksa thought, one and a half hours still used Rainy to sleep. But, once in the UKS, Aksa even heard Rainy's voice that was like chatting with someone.

“So never saw me in the library?” That's Rainy's voice.

“Yes, several times. But, maybe you are not aware because we also just know today.” And that's the voice of a man who knows who.

Aksa's heart paled when she heard Rainy calling her 'me' and 'sister'.

When Aksa peeked out from the gap of the curtain, Aksa found Rainy laughing together. For some reason, Aksa doesn't like to see it.
