RICH MAN
TO COMPLEMENT

Arriving at home. Reynand placed her right hand over her head while looking at the white ceiling of her room, as well as the not-so-bright lighting there. He deliberately turned off his room lights. The night felt even more sad, if he had known that the heartbreak was as painful as it was, Reynand did not want to feel it. But whatever the power, maybe it is the thing that is able to teach him that painful lesson in order to become a much better person.

The man took a breath. Down there, there is Erlangga who is reading the Qur'an. He listened to his cousin's sister read very eloquently, how about him who had memorized some juz but just disappeared just like that just because when he fell in love. Let alone to repeat his memorization, to read the Qur'an was Rey has rarely since he knew the girl.

The precious time is so much for Bintang compared to teaching her sisters to teach. And maybe that's what upset her mother at that time.

Rey wakes up and sees her sister reading the Qur'an with a small lamp plugged into a USB powerbank. Rey told her sister to turn on the room lights. But his sister refused and kept using the small lamp.

The man turned on the lamp and sat down next to Erlangga. "Sister?" Erlangga turned her head and immediately looked at Rey fixedly.

"Najai with ya," he said. They began to read the Qur'an at the same time. Erlangga's reading is good enough because every day is always taught by his father. Likewise with Lyla who has been very smooth.

Rey herself even sometimes regretted her actions that once hurt the woman who had given birth to her.

After a while, they finished teaching together. Rey chose to stay in the room. Erlangga came out of the room. Rey went back to the bed and lay there.

"Rey, let's eat first!"

Rey turned to the source of the voice and found her mother who was heading towards her. Rey herself felt very hateful towards herself for ever yelling at her.

Listening to every word the ustadz said, Rey tried to admit her mistake and no longer discuss the matter of the Star to her parents.

The man immediately got up from his bed and hugged his mother who was sitting on the edge of the bed. "Darling why?"

Rey rubbed her chin on the woman's shoulder. He rubbed his mother's back. The woman who has taken good care of him and once gave affection when she first had to be separated from her father. Even the woman who was the most patient had faced her childish attitude.

Nagita was silent and did not comment. He returned his son's embrace. Perhaps his son needs to be heard now, he never listens to his son tell a lot of things. This time Rey could tell me.

"Just tell Mama what happened, son!"

"Rey, just apologize for the incident where I snapped Mama. Until Mama cried because of my actions,"

Nagita rubbed the back of her son's head. "Rey, it was Mama Lupain. My mother never held a grudge against my son. Mama was very happy when the sister returned to be a child who tried to serve both parents again, Mama does not want it to happen again because she does not want your two sisters to join in yelling at Mama later," explained Nagita.

Reynand nodded in her mother's arms. Tears were dripping, because in a few days he will be separated to learn to be better and learn more vigorously than what had happened before.

"No crying, yes!" Nagita felt her child crying with tears soaking her clothes. He lifted his son's head and held his two cheeks.

Staring deeply into those eyes. There has been so much sadness for Reynand. Nagita himself wants to be angry at the woman who has successfully dumped Reynand. But how else, he is just a parent who is only entitled to educate his child, not to judge other people's children.

"Promise Mama and Papa dear, will not do anything annoying again. Educated siblings well, Mama Sama Papa will always be dear. Always by your side, all of you,"

Nagita kissed her son's forehead. It's been a long time since he's done that. He felt how the taste experienced by his son, right Azka said, Rey needs to be listened to. Rey needs friends to tell her stories, and they've never done that since her son has always been alone.

"Never let anyone hurt you. As parents, we always try to be nice to you.no parent has the heart to see his child hurt, including Mama and Papa. There have been so many burdens and sufferings of life that you have ever experienced. Don't feel all that again! I just want to do my best, love the kids and always be there. To be the protector of all the incompetence of all the children of Mama. Let Mama feel all that pain, as long as it is not your child," Nagita rubbed her child's cheek and wiped Reynand's tears.

"I'm sorry, Ma,"

"Have Mama sorry,"

Nagita improved her sitting position and let Reynand sleep on her thigh. He rubbed his first child's head. Nagita looked at her son with an unbearable look.

Reynand is sleeping in Nagita's lap. Azka went into the room and folded her hands in front of her chest while leaning behind the door.

"It's been a while, Ma?" azka asked as she watched Reynand sleeping on Nagita's lap.

The woman nodded as she waved her hand for her husband to come closer to her.

"Papa kiss Rey!"

"Mama, Rey is big, too,"

"Pa, let's do it!" he said shimmily,

Azka stared at his wife for a moment and then did as she was told. At that moment he saw his wife shed tears.

"Mama why?"

"Pa, Mama misses us, which is where we always gather like this. I don't think the kids are as big as they are now. So many things we've been through together,"

Azka sat crouching under his wife while holding her right hand and Nagita's right hand rubbing Reynand's head. "Stay like this, baby. You've managed to be home to me, and Rey is my reinforcement. Now it's growing again" Azka said, kissing his wife's hand. Nagita rubbed Azka's face gently.

"Father, thank you for always being together under any circumstances and in any atmosphere you've been with you the whole time,"

"Like the sorrow we both live. It's not just happiness that you both can enjoy, is it?"

Nagita replaced her thigh with a pillow and enveloped Reynand. He stood up and hugged Azka. She was crying as hard as her husband's arms. "Why cry?"

"Nangis is happy to have a husband like Papa. Although at first we went through this all with so much pain, and tears,"

"That is life, which is not all sweet,"

Azka held his wife's cheeks and was ready to kiss her lips.

Chequelek

"Ups, sorry,"

Dimas emerged from behind the door and saw the two men were about to kiss. "Dimas," called Azka with an annoyed expression.

"So continue with nothing. I'm leaving, sorry to interrupt. I was gonna call you to dinner,"

Dimas felt awkward after seeing the incident earlier. He also chose to go out. When his wife was about to call Nagita and Azka, he pulled his wife away from continuing his steps towards Erlangga's room which was also occupied by Rey at this time. It's possible that Azka and Nagita will take a while.

All this time he was happy to see both of them happy. And that's what Dimas wanted, his responsibilities as an older brother had been replaced by Azka who doubled into one. Sometimes being a father figure for Nagita as always told by his sister. Truly, despite having experienced a bitter past. Dimas continued to believe that Azka was destined to have Nagita.
