RICH MAN

RICH MAN
SOON GATHER AGAIN


The night is getting late, Rey is still awake in her room alone. Wanting it to be morning soon, he was eager to find his wife's whereabouts. No matter if it was the Star or Marwa, at least he had tried to accept the fact that the Star he was looking for was no longer there. She tried to understand why she did not come when she hoped for a meeting where she could express her feelings eight years ago. But tomorrow is the time when the wait is nine years.


Rey, who just hung up the phone from Clara who contacted her, knows that she is having other activities outside with her college.


The woman closest to him is his cousin's sister, Rey always tells Marwa about Clara, hope that all those once great feelings will soon go from his heart and be replaced with happiness to build a household with the Star of his heart which has now become Marwa.


Rey was actually not willing to let go of Marwa who had managed to make her very comfortable on the woman's side. But a past comes because the memories of the past are repeated, simply because of a package that made him a very weak man.I ignored his wife just because of that, he said, the photo that made him remember the figure of the Star. Even without him knowing that the person who took pictures with him was his own wife in the past. One of his own mistakes, several times Leo has reminded to open Marwa's veil, but he said that he was not ready to accept about the new woman in his life. Moreover, Marwa who was very foreign to him at that time.


Rey said that she would try to love Marwa back then. But all has been in vain, if only a little someone alludes to the Star, his heart no longer cares about Marwa who has accompanied him. He would ignore the woman just because her stupidity was still intact along with the past. Which is not until when, if he does not know that Marwa is a Star. Of course he will experience regret in which he will never meet again with the woman; until forever.


For that man, time was the most expensive thing among anything in this world. Time that never repeats itself, and the waste of time is something that makes a person regret in the future, believe it or not that many hearts die just because of regret. Not being able to make others happy, or not being able to achieve something in the past just because of wasting time. And that's how Rey feels right now, she can't make Marwa happy just because she's too caught up with her past.


The stubble of the rain that fell outside makes Rey more and more longing for the past. He also met a star. After waiting for a long time, it rained heavily, as if representing his feelings of wanting to cry at that time for not finding someone.


Chequek.


Rey who had turned her back to the door, now turned around after hearing the door of her room open, a female figure that looked so graceful even with a light that was not too bright, it was her mother. Who was always waiting for him. Listening to all the complaints so far, the woman who has been very successful in changing her life for the better.


"Why aren't you asleep?" sapa Rey then got out of bed and leaned on the back of her bed.


"Mama just to see you, how are you doing?"


"Good, Ma. Tomorrow you can find Marwa again, right?"


Nagita turned on her son's room lamp, and she saw that the worry was so great from the look on his face, Nagita feels guilty because Rey fell ill because of what she said about Marwa, who was a star at the time. Make his son emotional, do not want to eat and more busy looking for the whereabouts of his wife.


"Rey, why would you want to meet her?"


"I don't want to, however. She's still my wife, she's still a part of my life, she can't go anymore, Ma. I can't help it anymore if for example he went to leave me and made things very complicated. And that's what scared me that Marwa was gonna go away from my life again, Ma,"


"He's not going to go again, Rey,"


"Well, where does she know?"


"Marwa has never been anywhere. She's always beside you, even she's here now" Nagita pointed to Rey's chest.


The man felt so claustrophobic after hearing his mother's words and pointed to his chest for telling him that Marwa was in his heart.


"Mama doesn't want to make you like this, Mama wants to recover Marwa's memory. But it is you who act by asking to separate everything,"


"I wouldn't do that, Ma,"


"Rey, you're shrouded in pain. I am not sure that you can be the best. It can even be to educate him when your feelings are destroyed, if Mama and Papa tell you early, of course you will also hurt yourself. You'll stay away from Marwa. You feel lied to, look now Rey! Just like this you've got sick, and one thing Rey, if Marwa's parents knew it was you, they wouldn't agree with you and her, that's what Mama wouldn't want. After Mama knows that your wife is the person you are looking for all this time, Mama does not want to make you sad again, let you be sad first. You can't grieve that anymore, especially to hurt other people just because you can't accept Marwa,"


Rey looked down lethargic. "I'll try to convince Marwa's parents,"


"It's not that easy, son. So now, if you meet him, will you help him to remember your memories? And also the memory of her old self?"


"Until any time, Ma. I'll be willing," Rey lowered her head and then raised her head. "Ma, can I go to that park tomorrow?"


Nagita tilted her head, not understanding the words of her son. "Why is the park?"


"If he had remembered the memories of the two of us, he would have come there, Ma,"


"Rey, is this the 9th year?"


Rey nodded, "Yes, Ma. And if he doesn't come, it's nothing. I'll just wait for him,"


Nagita stretched out her hands. "Here, baby!" Nagita hugged her son very tightly. He did not want that his son felt that pain again.


"Dear very dear to both of you. Stay at your mom's house if you meet! For some time, Mama wants you at home. Mama will not interfere with your affairs more deeply, your household that lives. You're just staying, helping Marwa remember some of her memories from when you were working,"


"Mama don't ask for another grandchild. I know I haven't done anything yet" Rey said slowly. Nagita held back the laughter of hearing her son's words.


"Mama won't make it again, son. Later must be suddenly in love, it is usually so if people fall in love, really like the name suddenly. Mama's hoping you're better off with your wife, anyway,"


"Yes, Ma. I'll try to get better with him. Mama Doain I hope I see her soon,"


"Hopefully tomorrow, he's coming to the park to meet you, yeah!


"Aamiin's."


Rey approached her mother tighter. It had been a long time since he had hugged the woman so tightly.
