"Life gets better when you decide not to care."
Morning sunlight enters every gap in this room, the sound of birds chirping beautifully starts this morning.
Still, all of that has no effect on the man who is still wrapped in a blanket with a bolster who is still in his arms.
Her mother's knocking and soft voice from behind her bedroom door also seemed to mean nothing.
"Rey," Zahra came into Rey's room, "wake up dear."
Rey moaned softly, he wanted to beat up anyone who disturbed his sleep. Honey, what woke him up was his mother.
"You'll be late, let's wake up." Zahra removed the blanket that wrapped Rey's body. Then she turned to open the curtains and windows in her son's room.
"Ma," Rey called in the hoarse voice of waking up.
"Why?" Zahra replied as she approached her son.
Rey didn't answer again, he immediately got up and strolled away to take a shower.
Zahra stared at her son's back, it was normal for Rey to call him but didn't say anything.
However, for Zahra it was better. Instead of his son continuing to be silent and being cold.

This morning breakfast at the Zahra family was very crowded, even though there were only four of them.
That's because little Regitha is always babbling, I don't know what the 7 year old kid said.
"Rey's brother, daddy! Rere's friend has a crush on Rey!" Regitha expressed it with great enthusiasm.
"Which Rere friend, dear?" asked Eldy who was sitting near Rey.
"You know, everyone in Rere's class has a crush on my brother," Regitha pointed at Rey with her hands covered in chocolate jam.
"Alright, Rere shut up. His hands were on a rag, girls are messy." scolds Zahra.
Regitha complied, she cleaned her hands with a tissue and continued eating quietly.
"Brother," Eldy called his eldest son who was still struggling with breakfast.
Feeling called, Rey raised his head to look at his father. He didn't make a sound, just a look that hinted at -why-.
"Where do you want to celebrate your birthday?" said Eldy.
Rey seemed to think for a moment, then he had found the answer.
"Orphanage."
And, it's officially the best birthday for Rey. Being able to share with the children, his happiness increased many times over.

A metallic black Ninja motorcycle, traveling at standard speed cut through the road.
After 15 minutes of driving, Rey finally arrived at his destination.
School.
When the big motorbike entered the parking area, the adoring gazes of the girls who were there were something he was used to getting.
For Rey, they only looked at his wealth. It could be that if he just used a battered bicycle to school, those women wouldn't be looking at him with such adoring eyes.
While walking down the corridor, that gaze still followed her every step.
If only she hadn't sinned and broke the law, believe me, Rey would gouge out all her eyes with a spoon.
Just as he wanted to climb the stairs, his body suddenly pulled back.
The hands that had just grabbed her now hovered around Rey.
"It's crazy, you know," Rey threw his hand which was clung to by the shameless woman.
"It's a shame, how come." The woman is Angel.
"Don't call me dear, I'm nothing, you." Rey walked away from the girl.
"But you are my match Rey," Angel shouted confidently.
Rey then turned and looked at the girl with his sharp gaze.
"A woman who is crazy about your wealth, is suitable if you are a sympathizer, uncle." Rey said it casually, it was familiar to him.
Angel glared in disgust, even though he was lacking. For him, his body was beautiful, his face was beautiful, even he was the captain of the Cheerleaders in this school.
But all that doesn't matter to Rey, he always looks at the woman who wants his treasure.

The class entrance bell has rang, all the students rushed to enter their respective classes.
Same is the case with Rey and his friends. They were already in the classroom from earlier.
A few minutes later, a teacher walked into the classroom. After giving their greetings, they returned to their seats.
"This morning, we have a new student." The teacher told someone who was waiting outside to enter.
"Please introduce who you are," said Mrs. Kinan.
The new student nodded, even though she was a little nervous she tried to introduce herself to all the people in this class.
"My name is Anesya Jasmine. You can call her Nesya. I moved from Bandung." The girl acquainted was very stiff, her tongue was out. Even though he was never this nervous.
"Call dear or not?" said Rio from behind.
All the students in the class cheered Rio.
"Come on, shut up. Don't make a fuss," Mrs. Kinan reminded all of her students, "Nesya, you can sit next to Rey."
"This is the third world war," Rio muttered to Revin who was sitting on the side after.
Nesya walked towards the empty bench next to Rey, the man stared at her sharply. Make Nesya slightly lower her head.
"Hi," said Nesya when he sat next to Rey.
The man didn't respond, didn't even look up.
Nesya sighed, it seemed very difficult to make friends with this man beside her.

During recess, Nesya remains in class. Not because of what, he did not have friends to go to the canteen.
Earlier he had wanted to join Rey, but remembered the look he didn't like. Makes Nesya discourage.
Even though his stomach is very hungry now, because this morning he didn't have time to eat breakfast.
"Lo, don't you go to the canteen?"
Nesya raised her head, a little girl, white and beautiful, was standing beside her bench.
"I, don't know where the canteen is. There are no friends either." replied Nesya honestly.
The student chuckled at Nesya's answer, for him Nesya was like a chick who had lost its mother.
"I'm Tasya," he held out his hand to shake his hand, "now, you're my friend."
Nesya's eyes flickered, she thought Tasya would bully her. Because, Tasya's appearance is like the bully she often sees on television.
"You don't want to be my friend? Why don't you just shut up?" Tasya awakened the girl from her reverie.
"E-eh? Eh yes, I will." Nesya shook Tasya's hand back.
"Okay, let's canteen." Tasya grabbed Nesya's hand to take her to the cafeteria.

The atmosphere of the canteen was very busy, as usual. The seat in the corner of the canteen is in the spotlight of the fair sex.
At that place, there was 5R. Handsome men, who were enjoying their respective meals.
Because the location of their table is close to the dumplings, so be happy-fashioned students to buy dumplings.
It was a blessing in itself for Mr. Tino --- a dumpling trader, because his merchandise was always sold out during the first hour of rest.
"I'm bored, sitting here."
"Why?" Revin looked at Rio.
"This chair is rich from generation to generation, yes, from the time of our parents. Until we the children also sit here," said Rio.
"Until a lot of their hands have been scratched, let's see." Rasya pointed to the graffiti written with the names of their parents.
Zafran has always loved Tania.
Diandra is beautiful.
Eldy was hit by Zahra's corner.
Zahra is the most beautiful.
And others.
"Anjay, my father is right." Rio chuckled with amusement.
"Anjir Rey, your father was punched by your mother." Rico pointed to the inscription that read 'Eldy got hit by Zahra's corner'.
Rey didn't flinch, he didn't say anything. It doesn't matter what his friends are talking about.
Now, on Rey's mind only one. How to get rid of the girl who is his current classmate.
