Rashi & Its Bucins
9

Living a lie has been Rashi's habit since he was with Mahesa. No wonder she didn't even feel guilty Candra believed the lie until tomorrow.

Rashi was lying limp on the mattress with his forehead attached to a plaster compress fever, nose flushed after many times sneezing. In her hand the phone lit up, reading a chat from Candra who asked her how her condition was.

Okay better?

^^^Udah.^^^

^^^And it was the second day.^^^

So it's just the first day?

^^^Yes.^^^

^^^Makasih yah abang:)^^^

Would you like me to bring some chocolate?

Sara if mens like asking for mulu chocolate.

He was secretly watching his sister.

Rashi chuckles amusedly reading a word that would invite two different reactions from Sara. One, he will go berserk because Candra bodo is actually offering Rashi chocolate when his sister never; two, he will blush because Candra notices his habit of eating chocolate every menstruation.

^^^ Same ice cream, no brother?^^^

Dih.

^^^:(^^^

What :(

Wantsome?

^^^Hehehe.^^^

^^^Not try.^^^

^^^Next anyone will be jealous.^^^

Sapeeeee?

^^^Yang likes to cry without caution dong.^^^

Huh huh?

^^^Oh a lot of yah?^^^

^^^Sara I mean bang cand.^^^

Jaelah.

Seriously I am.

Want chocolate with ice cream?

Rashi chuckled, consciously playing with Candra's intentions.

So Candra really likes him.

He who has always succeeded in making Uma and Sara vent how bodo very much he in the world even bother to offer chocolate.

Not the slightest bit Rashi was disturbed let alone astonished. Getting used to people like Mahesa inevitably forms her mentality and open-mindedness towards everything. Mahesa taught him to learn to accept anything, anything, and not react easily to trivial things.

Liked and hated like it was ingrained in Rashi. He knows why people love him and he knows why people hate him.

Mahesa said, these two things are not things that he needs to bother thinking deeply.

^^^Again fever.^^^

^^^No ice cream can be eaten:(^^^

Huh huh?

Lo sick?

Don't go to school tomorrow.

^^^School coke.^^^

^^^ Only the common cold is not in school.^^^

^^^Udah a month more do not enter.^^^

^^^Nanti did not go to class.^^^

So I'll pick you up tomorrow?

^^^Not need.^^^

^^^Same as Rasya.^^^

^^^Let's go home the same.^^^

Oh okay.

Rest.

Main hp mulu not healing tomorrow.

^^^Tells who like to stay up late playing games -_-^^^

I'm healthy.

Elo no.

^^^Not crazy brother:(^^^

It was even baper.

Come to sleep.

^^^Elo too?^^^

Serah lo rashi's.

^^^Happy bobo cand.^^^

Bobo is so goddamn good.

^^^Hehe.^^^

Rashi giggles at his own amused look at his blatantly seductive attitude towards Candra. He didn't mean to seduce. Purely for treating Candra as her brother.

No matter how Candra feels, Rashi will still consider her a cousin and she will act as a sister.

Because to him, Candra was the second Rasya.

Putting aside the phone because Candra no longer replied, Rashi planned to be closed but had to reach for the object again because of the vibration. Rainal's name appears in the pop-up, causing Rashi to enter a fingerprint again, checking the contents of the message.

I want to look at you.

Rashi jerks. Yesterday they did exchange chats and he told Rainal the possibility of—still possibility because yesterday he just sneezed, headache after forcing himself to walk in a sick stomach condition.

Don't tell him he's going to Jakarta for that?!

^^^Lo is in front?^^^

I'm at the door.

If I can't just send it to your brother.

Can I pull the bell now?

Oh my goodness, this guy.

Rashi could not help himself.

If you ask who is the best man without a loophole in the world, the answer will always be Mahesa. He's kind, he's gentle, he's royal, everything a woman wants is on him. Assertiveness, power, leadership, but also a benign attitude that makes you wonder if he is real or just an illusion?

He's too good, too ethereal to be true.

But he's a fake. All its perfection is only a mask, a guise for personal needs.

Although Rainal .... Rashi had never met a young man as smooth as Rainal.

How could this person be Mahesa's subordinate?

He asked for permission to press the bell when he could do so without permission, taking into account their world differences. Rainal seemed to feel like he was too dirty to attend, yet he was present because Rashi told him to stick around.

It should be that Rashi who feels too dirty is liked by this kind of young man.

Do I desire this? Rashi types with a sense of tightness to let Rainal in.

It didn't take long, he showed up with Rasya as well as Yatha.

To be honest, Rashi felt awkward showing Rasya that he had a smooth-language male friend from gebetan. It is impossible for Rashi to blindly see Father's protective attitude whenever there are boys coming to the house, even for group work.

Their families are not open to each other's personal affairs. There was never a time when Dad would ask Rashi to talk about how he felt about this and that, as if it were taboo and private property. But Father often shows through his intimate attitude whenever there is a man who approaches, so that Dad is often present in the room Rashi working group, just to show his ownership of the single princess.

Rashi wasn't bothered by it, frankly. Mahesa said that the nature of a father and a man does protect women, especially those that are valuable to them. However, the dis-communication between her and Dad is the cause of Rashi running into Mahesa's arms. Dad's figure is like an ATM walk for Rashi, who is in charge of living it without ever interfering with how Rashi views the world, and how Rashi interacts with his environment.

Therefore, Rashi wants Rasya to know little by little about his life. He doesn't have Mahesa. There was no place for him to talk or consult personally if not Rasya.

To prevent himself from slipping, Rashi needs restraint. Even if he doubts it will work. Because again, he's a liar. Even to yourself. The thing he planned for today, it could be just a lie tomorrow.

"The grave is a little cold. You eat right away." Rasya handed over a bowl of porridge— very much porridge as if Rashi was not a sick person, but a hungry person—complete with a spoon. A glass of water he put on the nightstand, then left them with Yatha and the door opened wide.

Of course Rashi is sensitive that Rasya does not know how to ask who Rainal is for Rashi, so he can only signal not to get too close.

"Mama, Yatha made her break with Papa." Yatha hugged her body and leaned against Rashi's chest. "Mom ate a lot of cured spit."

Rashi smiled slightly. Throwing Yatha's head knowing she's ashamed of strangers. "Yatha acquaintance first. This is Temen Mama. Name's Rainal. Yatha call him Brother Rail."

"Sister?"

"Yes, Brother."

Rainal who had been silently observing, also opened his voice. "Gue doesn't know you have a bitch."

It is also impossible that Rashi's personal life is entirely spread to Mahesa's subordinates. "Is there a meeting to Jakarta?"

"A few more days, but deliberately came to shabby." Rainal handed me a paper bag with the logo of Rashi's favorite mochi shop. "Gue didn't know what to bring, so I bought it that you ate first."

Long ago.

Rashi recalled about two years ago, he did accompany Mahesa meeting—not a big meeting like that time— in the store mochi ice subscription. Rashi recalled at one time in the middle of the meeting between Mahesa, Rainal, Lilan and Karya, Mahesa rubbed the back of her head while saying, "Lo can eat it as much as today."

Not because Rashi asked to be treated. But because the diet is arranged well by Mahesa. Eating too much flour and sugar like mochi is not good for health, so Mahesa often limits the number of servings of unhealthy snacks Rashi.

That day Rashi smiled brightly in excitement, and he did not know Rainal caught his behavior. Even remember until now.

"Lo inget it?" Rashi laughed embarrassedly. "Thank you."

"Together."

Rashi looks down on Yatha who seems to be eating mochi. "Yatha would too?"

"You."

"Thank you, big brother first."

"Engh."

"Come dong. His brother was bawain mochi. Say thanks, dear."

Embarrassed, Yatha said thank you. Rainal just smiled a little for that. "How are you doing?"

About abortion, of course.

Rashi let Yatha dismantle the mochi first because she had to eat the porridge first. Not immediately answer because he intends to wake up, but rather difficulty due to dizziness in his head. Rainal instantly came to help Rashi sit leaning back, with a natural gesture of taking over the porridge bowl to feed him.

"Thanks." -." Rashi does not want to be fed because he can be alone, but he appreciates Rainal's attention. "It still takes time to recover, I guess."

"Lo's stomach still hurts a lot?"

"Yes. Maybe because of the lopsidedness of Yatha's carrier. But not pa-pa. The rest must be good."

It's impossible, he knows it.

Hence Rainal did not ask any more, feeding the obedient Rashi eating his porridge as they looked at Yatha.

There was something Rainal wanted to talk about, it seemed, but he was hesitant because of the existence of the little boy who liked to parrot adult talk.

"On Mahesa?"

Rainal was silent, a little more daring to touch Rashi's cheek to wipe it. Although only a glance, because Yatha watched them with the mouth of an ice cream straw in mochi. He doesn't say much and continues to feed Rashi until the whole porridge is gone.

After that, Rainal immediately moved, saying goodbye just like that.

"Well, what's the rush? You're here first."

"No need. I just want to mastiin lo how." Rainal lowered his head, peeping at Rashi. "Make good, Princess."

As soon as Rainal disappeared from the door, Yatha immediately returned to find her courage. He grabbed Rashi right in front of his face. "Mama, is that a shapa? Why kiss Mama kayak Yatha?"

"That's Mama's friend, honey."

"Mama's friends can also kiss?"

"This is all." Rashi pointed at his upper forehead, then kissed Yatha's entire face gnawing. "If Yatha can all."

Yatha giggled amusedly. Holding both of Rashi's cheeks with her tiny, sticky hands held onto the mochi and let their eyebrows stick together. "Mama has Yatha."

"Papa's got dong."

"Engh, don't want to. Got a Yatha."
