Rainy knew that sooner or later Bhara would know that Rainy was working every time he came home from school, but Rainy did not expect that Bhara would find out this soon. There hasn't even been a week of him working at the cafe.
After the phone call was switched off by Bhara without giving Rainy a chance to talk again, Rainy sank his face between the folds of his hands and knees.
Rainy cried without a sound, his sobbing held back. Rainy is scared, afraid that after this he will get back to getting anger from papa if Bhara really fights like he guesses.
Rainy heard the sound of the door opening as he began to catch his breath, without turning his head Rainy knew who had entered. Surely aunt Risa, because it is impossible om Abra who will enter without knocking on the door first.
“Ai .. ” call aunt Risa in a soft voice.
Aunty approached, rubbing Rainy's head gently. The crying that had started to stop now broke again, in addition to fear, Rainy still felt a feeling of guilt. Aunt Risa must be disappointed.
“Ma-sorry, I'm sorry, Auntie,” said Rainy who sobbed.
“Sorry why?”
Asked so, Rainy continued to be reminded of his lies during these few days. He quickly wiped his tears and looked at the aunt who was smiling gently at him. It was like a mother's gaze on her child.
“I lied. Surely Aunt has been having a chat with my brother, right? Surely Aunt disappointed with me, Aunt angry with me, sorry I, yes?” please Rainy while trying to hold back her cries.
Not answering Rainy's request, the aunt pulled Rainy into her arms. Aunty kissed her head still while rubbing it.
“No papa, no Aunt sorryin. Yeah, don't cry anymore. Aunty is sad to see you cry gini. Aunty is disappointed, but Aunt is not angry with you.”
“But I lied .. ” said Rainy.
Aunt Risa nodded, “So after this don't lie anymore, huh? Kan Aunty once said that if there is anything to say, Aunty will support all your decisions.”
Hearing that Rainy felt a little relieved. After adjusting her breath, Rainy took off her aunt Risa's embrace and went back to apologizing and thanking her.
“But don't tell me to stop, huh? I want to work, it's not about me lacking money, but I'm the boss at home. Going back to school is nothing. Yes, Aunt?” pinta Rainy after a while they fell silent.
Aunt Risa smiled and nodded. “Yes, no papa, no problem. The important thing is that you always tell Auntie, don't lie anymore. Aunty's just worried about you, Ai. You can also ask ***** if you go home, then surely Aunt pick up.”
Rainy nodded, he felt very relieved that he no longer needed to lie.
“Oh yes, Aunt here too would like to apologize.” Aunty stopped her speech, making Rainy a little curious.
“Maafin Aunt, yes. Actually the one who told Bhara about you was Aunt Om Abra. Aunty accidentally saw you Saturday afternoon that time, Auntie was thinking the same about you. Initially Aunt wanted to call your Papa, but it was not picked up, became Aunt Bhara's phone and tell you how you are.”
Rainy was speechless when Risa's aunt said, then Rainy remembered Azura saying that someone was looking for her but didn't know who.
Rainy nodded in response, it had happened anyway and Rainy did not blame his aunt. Even he was a little grateful for Aunt Risa, Rainy finally did not need to lie anymore.
“Yes, Aunt, not papa.”

“Mata lo why?”
Rainy glanced at Aksa who was looking at him in surprise. He snorted violently and turned his face the other way. Shame Rainy felt because the look was so bad this morning.
Eyes swollen, dark circles clearly visible under his eyes. Obviously Rainy cried last night and stayed up late.
Though Rainy did not intend to stay up late, it's just that his eyes are difficult to close because of a lot he thinks. Especially about Bhara and his papa.
“Jan! I'm serious about it!” said Aksa who is still on his bike. Rainy was wearing a helmet.
“Gue no papa, in bite semalem mosquito,” Rainy lie with very unreasonable reason.
Aksa squinted both eyes, looking to protest but Rainy immediately raised his right hand making Aksa instantly silent.
“Udah this afternoon, just later again, can?”
Aksa nodded then took off his bike after Rainy had actually boarded. During the trip, Rainy took the time to wipe his swollen eyes using wet wipes.
Rainy only hoped that at school his eyes would really look ordinary, but what Rainy expected did not happen. Even his efforts have not yielded any results.
Along the way from the parking lot to the school corridor Rainy put on a sullen face. Aksa beside him was holding a smile, Rainy who was conscious then immediately glanced at him cynically.
“Again, no one ngelarang.”
After Rainy said so, Aksa really laughed. Not loud but still attracting some attention of the students around them.
“Mata lo bengep bener, sure can see lo?” ledek Aksa is still giggling.
An irritated Rainy kicked Aksa's shin until the man grimaced in pain.
“KDRT, I'll report later!” aksa said while enduring the pain.
“KDRT-KDRT nutmeg lo!” rainy's grunts are getting sewed.
“This time is serious. Are you crying? Why?” ask Aksa.
“Not your business, is it?”
“It's doang enah!”
Aksa stared at Rainy flatly, then Aksa drew closer towards Rainy and tightly embraced the girl's neck.
“Gue is fine and not answered. Means you want to use a rude way to answer my question?”
Rainy tries to let go of Aksa's embrace, but fails because of his power that a girl lost to men. The girl stared at Aksa fiercely.
“Please, Aksa! Later I fall,” said Rainy.
Did Aksa let him go? Sure didn't!
“Jawab first, dong!”
“Force really!”
“Iya dong's. Want to answer? Or I kissed it!” aksa Ancam.
Rainy glared, but Aksa laughed instead. “Handling, it is impossible for me to kiss you in public. Can-can enter BK later.”
Oh, so he meant that being in a quiet place Aksa would really kiss him?
Rainy again squinted both eyes, staring at Aksa vigilantly. Aksa again laughed, making Rainy now look at her flatly.
“Home.”

Apparently, it was not only Aksa who asked her how she was. Is it too swollen? Until it looks so clear. Because Rainy felt his eyes still look normal because the swelling did not really make his eyes closed.
Vania was the second to ask that. Upon Rainy's arrival at her desk, Vania who turned her attention from her phone to look at Rainy was now excited. The girl immediately told Rainy to sit down.
“Eh, why, Rai? What's the problem until the cry keeps his eyes swollen gini?”
Although impressed kepo, but Rainy knows that Vania is worried about him. The girl shook her head faintly and smiled.
“Gue stay up while watching drakor, there are scenes that make me cry until kek gini,” said Rainy again lied.
At first Rainy was afraid that Vania would be like Aksa, but it turned out that Vania nodded her head and believed Rainy's words. Meanwhile, Aksa who was behind Rainy scrunched her forehead, what Rainy said did not Aksa believe at all.
For some reason, Aksa seemed to know that Rainy was having problems until the girl dared to lie.
Rainy felt lucky that once the break arrived, Rainy's eyes were already normal. Rainy is no longer shy about leaving class.
The plan, Rainy will go to the canteen only three. He and his two female friends, Alika and Vania, but once they reach the cafeteria, Aksa's entourage follows them.
Sitting at the same table as the three girls.
“This why the hell do we often together? You guys want to join our three circles?” ask Vania with sewot.
“There is no more bench, Neng,” said Bagas who is true, this is the remaining bench and Rainy and his friends are lucky because they are still on the table.
“Emang why do we join? How much sewot? We are not kidnappers,” timpal Dylan follow sewot.
“Udah anyway, don't mutebacot! Noisy, I want to eat quietly,” said Ardi who was sipping a drink he bought.
The atmosphere returned to silence after Ardi spoke, Rainy was busy with his own food, while Aksa was busy observing Rainy while crossing her hands in front of her chest.
Rainy realized that, if Aksa continued to look at him, but he was indifferent and continued to eat.
“Lo threesome watch basketball, right? Do not watch, all buyin drink,” Bagas chirps suddenly, the boy asked the three girls who were eating.
“Kalo would like a drink, herein the money. I assure you, you will not be thirsty.” Vania chuckled after seeing the look on Bagas' face after hearing his words.
“gitu very same class you own.” Bagas said with a cynical tone.
“Kan we are not too familiar, except if you are given a drink with your boyfriend lo.” Alika.
They still continued to chat, except for these two different-sex beings. One steals the other's gaze avoiding the gaze. Rainy was still trying to focus on finishing his remaining half meal.
Until suddenly they were surprised by the sound of Bagas's cry that invited the attention of the canteen residents.
“Anjir! Anjir! Anjir woy, this is crazy!” exclaiming Bagas, even the guy to stand up from his seat made the others stare towards Bagas with astonishment.
“Si Anjir! What is anjir anjir?” dylan said confusedly.
“Try you guys on seeing IG school's new post, see there's a photo of him greeting it. How can ye, I miss,” said Bagas while fiddling with his phone seriously.
After Bagas said so, the other friends opened their phones. There was a recent post from their school instagram account, it was a photo that made friends Aksa and Rainy stunned.
“Wah! Photo two of you in the post, njir.” Ardi looked at Aksa and Rainy alternately. “Btw, this is when you guys got the photo?” ask Ardi.
“Uhuk!”
Rainy and Aksa coughed simultaneously, without them even seeing the picture, they both knew what her friends meant. This must have been a photo they took in the library, and it turned out to be posted on the school's instagram instead.
