RICH MAN
THE MISS THAT DIDN'T ARRIVE

Upon arriving home, Reynand immediately went down and picked up his sleeping sister. While Clara helped bring down Nabila who was still awake, "Bring in!" his orders.

Reynand held Salsabila who was behind in a state of sleep and immediately brought her in, "Ma, beware yes I take her to the room," he said. His sister who was asleep on her shoulder was immediately taken to the room.

"Rey, wake up your sister! I want maghrib, not good. Then sleep," his mother commanded.

"But, Ma. Will his head continue to hurt?"

"Wake up, not good to sleep at this hour. After Maghrib sleep!"

Rey who was about to deliver her sister actually abandoned her intentions and followed her mother's orders to wake Salsabila. Although at first the child was crying and very fussy, but since seeing Clara there, Salsabila chose to play.

"She didn't sleep this afternoon, Ma?"

"They're waiting for you to go home from school and promise to take them away. Clara did you pick it up?"

"No Ma. Kan was going to Om Dimas' house, but because Om Dimas was not at his house and Bibi said that they went to Aunt Viona's house there was a family event, there was a family event, yes I have gone to Oma's house, they do not want to go home there, Ma. I'll just take Clara so I can take them home,"

Her mother ria, "you're not busy, are you Clara?"

"No aunt, even happy to be invited here,"

"Leo's not coming?"

"No, by the way Mama doesn't know about Aunt Naura getting pregnant?" Rey follows her mother sitting on the couch with Clara and her sisters.

"Papa forgot to tell you," suddenly his father appeared and brought a cup of coffee.

"Mama is pregnant. But Leo didn't agree at the time,"

"Ashik actually, Clara. I even want to have a sister your age, like you,"

"Abang raise me to be a sister, brother. Isn't that Om?" clara's lyrics to Rey's papa.

"That's if Rey wants it, Ra. By the way, you're not angry about getting this kind of sister?" reply to Rey.

"No, even if Mama wants to go, I'm ready. I'm jealous of Brother who has a twin sister, if I could I also be given a twin sister,"

"Janga, Ra. There you will be tired of taking care of them, not to mention if one of them you are carrying, the other is crying. Continue when you leave school, it is very mandatory nangis to join. Waking up is also always disturbed" explained Reynand because he experiences it every day. Wakened and sometimes grabbed by his two younger siblings if long awake.

Rey tells if she is always colonized by her sister in the morning. Sometimes he is considered pretending and bitten by Nabila. So much has changed since the twins came into life.

Starting from the affection of both parents who are now fairer in sharing, and again the time his parents are now more together than busy with their respective affairs as before. At least he was grateful if his two younger siblings did not experience the same events as he had felt before. Starting from the separation of parents, a lie that never ends, even to accept the presence of new people in the household of his mother.

Sometimes Rey wonders about Syakila, even if the child is still there, maybe her age will be one year different from Clara. Despite being born from a different womb, Rey never stopped praying for her dead sister. So enough lessons from his parents made him not to repeat the same events.

Syakila is a sister born from a different womb but one papa. When Rey accepts the fact that she has a dying sister, Rey remembers all day that she was accompanying the boy in the hospital. Give happiness even if only for a moment.

Rey got out of her seat and wanted to avoid everyone there. He missed Syakila, the laughter and stubbornness of the little girl who was smiling so sincerely in the face of an illness that took his life.

"I went to the room. Maghrib soon, want to take another bath and pray," he said.

After hearing the reverberating Adhan, Reynand immediately took ablution water and carried out his duties.

After the prayer, Rey kept silent for a moment and prayed for her sister. Behind the cheerful and ignorant nature there is something unknown to his parents, namely the destruction of the feelings of Reynand who must mengikhlaskan the departure of Syakila. The incident was indeed very long, but if you remember it not infrequently also Reynand shed tears on the sidelines of the prayer he offered for his sister.

Rey does not want to look like a weak man, but in his solitude he is also sometimes lonely even though he is a cheerful man. Accepting the loss as she tries to accept the little girl's presence. There was only one photo he had with Syakila, a photo of him sitting on top of the Syakila gurney that Aunt Deana had sent him first. Reynand often visited his sister's grave and met Deana there. Unbeknownst to his parents. It is impossible to bring up past events when the woman was the mastermind behind the destruction of Reynand's happiness.

But all that is the past, there is no hatred for Syakila. What is wrong is Papa and also Aunt Deana who have presented Syakila in the wrong way. Even the departure of Syakila is the biggest loss for Reynand behind the pain of the separation of parents that he felt.

Reynand wiped her tears and went out for dinner because she had promised to meet Fendi later.

Rey mirrored and looked towards her eyes to not leave any sadness there. He immediately came out of his room and met his father who had also just come out of his room.

"Have you prayed, Pa?"

"Udah,"

Reynand nodded, his mood was a mess this time and did not respond for a moment because of the incident.

"What's Papa's son?" Rey turned to her papa who suddenly grabbed her as she climbed down the stairs.

"I'm nothing, really,"

"Sometimes what you're not telling me is seen in your eyes, a sadness that not many people know, what's really going on?"

"I'm nothing, Pa. Just hungry,"

"Rey, don't hide anything from, Papa. No parent wants to see their child sad, including Papa. If there's a problem, tell a story!"

Rey kept walking, it was impossible for her to say that she was missing Syakila. While his mother once reminded him not to discuss Syakila and it will make his Papa more devastated, Rey took a breath trying to restore his cherry expression. I don't want his parents to know about this.

"I'm nothing, really. I was just thinking about what Papa Widya said she wanted to talk about my matchmaking with Widya to Papa," Reynand did not mean to lie. But he was switching the conversation so that his papa was not suspicious.

"Rey, whatever the reason, Papa won't agree. If you like Widya, then Papa please. But for a soul mate, take it easy! Papa is not that easy to release the boy you have to other women, he will you take responsibility, he you will accompany under any circumstances, he said, but can he accompany you in trouble or pleasure? Papa just wants you to look your best and that's your choice,"

"Thank you, Pa,"

"Never score a person from his educational background, Mama you are just a high school graduate, he works in the office, Papa. If you already want to be flanked? Do not underestimate people just from social status, Papa does not matter you will want to marry the same woman who graduates anything, which is clear she is good and her descendants are also clear. You have to take responsibility, do not let women work, as long as you do not be stepped on by him later. Find one like Mama!"

Rey looked at her father. Looking for one like her Mama will certainly be very difficult because of the many women who can be patient and strong like her Mama is very difficult.

"Casual, Pa. School first, I'll find the good one like Mama. The role is not just a daughter-in-law, but can play a role like a real child,"

"Papa believes it. Papa's son is indeed good, so his partner must also be good."

Rey smiled, not even in her mind to try to find a partner in the eleventh grade like this. Unlike Leo who is busy with being close here and there with some girls at his school.
