RICH MAN
CLOUDS SWALLOW THE MOON

Rey accidentally did not return home because her parents had promised to come to the house oma to stay with her twin sister who was impatient to stay there for a few days then.

In the four-by-six room, Rey still talks with Leo about their plans to change schools. After the chat, Leo intends to actually transfer schools to where Rey is going.

The sound of their pet opa bird was heard until the room, the night began to show the moonlight. The stars in the sky blinked in turns. It was as if that night represented the teenage-year-old man who was still enveloped by a sense of hope that never finished. A feeling that should have ended up so betrayed, whatever kept her going that kept her from giving the girl the chance to hurt her again.

In the past to fill the loneliness, he would be happy to invite the girl to his apartment while talking a lot about their educational plans in the future. But all of that was destroyed, at the end of endless hope with answers.

Moments later Leo brought drinks to his room and placed them on the table, they joined to play PS.

Rey stood by the window and sat down to drink the drink that Leo had given her. Enjoying the night breeze that hit his face, the gust even pierced into himself feeling very clearly the cold of the night. Like someone's heart melting after freezing, that was the feeling the man was experiencing.

The hour hand kept turning, there was no sign of incoming messages about the girl who had disappointed him, Rey also did not want to give news after he sent the last message saying that he would not wait any longer to just be given the hope that had made him hurt. Anyone would be hurt if given only hope without certainty. To the extent of waiting, without being discovered, isn't that a very outrageous thing?

Seen from the balcony of the room a car entered the area of his house which he believed was the car of his parents who had planned to stay there.

"Om Azka's coming,"

Rey nodded and let it pass just like that, leaning against the window while looking at the black sky. "Why does it have to happen like this?" said alone. Not caring about his own feelings, he was too concerned about the feelings of others that resulted in him having to be hurt so deeply as he was right now. He should have given proper attention to others, but that attention he gave excessively to make him have to swallow all the bitter.

In that sky, it was as if the Moon was being hidden by a black cloud covering the moonlight so that it would not be seen; it was like a heart that was being overwhelmed with gloom. It was as if it was depicting the heart of a person overwhelmed by that guilt.

While in the living room, Leo first went downstairs and left Reynand alone in the room to be alone, there was no way he would disturb the anxiety that his cousin was experiencing.

"Leo, why wasn't Rey invited out?" ask mama.

"Oh, it's Rey's sister's rest, Ma. It's not good to wake him up maybe he's exhausted, Ma. So let's get him some rest,"

Azka looked at her nephew with a look of disbelief, as soon as she glanced at Leo, the man immediately threw his face in the other direction to make Azka start to suspect what was really happening to his son.

"It's only 9 o'clock, Leo, when Rey's asleep?"

Leo tried to convince his father this time. He did not have to say that his cousin was in pain.

Nagita sees Leo's uncharacteristic giraffe also putting suspicion on the man, she glanced at her husband and her husband nodded slowly giving the code that it might be a lie perpetrated by Leo to hide Rey's true state.

"Yes, I went to the room first, yes" he said to everyone there.

"Sit down!" azka said coldly, Leo who heard that immediately lowered his head.

"Explain now!"

Leo scratched his non-itchy head, "Obviously what's trying?"

"Om you know you lied about Rey sleeping, so what's the matter?"

Leo's voice began to stammer and it was very difficult to explain it all. "That's, I-I don't know, Om,"

"Leo, Om won't be angry with you, if you know something please say, Om can't bear to see him like this just because of women, you know who he is close to at school?"

Leo continues to curse himself in the heart because his omnya is impossible for him to lie.

"Leo, if asked that's the answer!" Snapping his Papa, Leo took a deep breath while playing his hands to make him calmer. All eyes were on him wanting to judge.

"Sir Rey is close to women, her name is Star. Even the people at the school thought they were both dating, but Rey's sister was just as much a girl as if they weren't dating" he explained.

Azka began to worry about her son who could not control his feelings and even mess things up, Azka deliberately delayed vacation because she wanted to see the development of her child whether it was still in such circumstances or not, he really didn't have the heart for what happened to Reynand. His heart was in turmoil, he really could not imagine how his son would feel like that. Azka couldn't possibly scold Rey, because she was also once young.

"Pa," Nagita said.

Azka's heart began to be sliced when she heard the soft voice of his wife, she knew about Reynand, Nagita felt it the most. Hearing what Leo said made Azka slightly exhale very heavily.

"I don't know what else to do, Leo. Maybe he was the first time he fell in love, so the result is like this. Om should be able to take good care of him, communicate with him better,"

"Om not wrong, the wrong is the woman who is close to Rey. He knows that Kak Rey has always loved him, but he has always hanged Kak Rey until now, he does not want to confess his feelings let alone tell the truth about their relationship is what, what, if only I were in position Rey's sister would have frowned on the same thing too. But Rey's sister can still hold it all,"

"That's why Om wants to transfer him to school" Azka told the rest of her family.

"Yes, then I also want to join Rey to the boarding school" said Leo.

Reno who was about to drink, but canceled after hearing the words of his son who said he wanted to go to the boarding school but just canceled.

"Leo, you're not kidding me, are you?" reno asked if what his son said was true or not. Because all this time he wanted Leo to get a better religious education, but he did not want to force because of Leo's dissident nature.

"I'm serious, Papa and Azka take care of our transfer papers at school, and we'll study in earnest later when we're there."

Everyone was stunned by that statement. As if not believe that the two men in the family will transfer schools to a place that might be able to shape his personality for the better.
