Not the First
Thin-thin Party

This week Rey is focusing on the National exam. Mother was also quite friendly with this situation, she reduced the tasks Rey routinely carried out every day.

But as a good child, Rey still helps her mother to carry out her daily duties even though she does not ask for it. Rey still picked up the laundry, although not as much as the usual day.

Because Rey came home earlier than usual school schedule, he still had time to just repeat the questions that had been discussed by his PM teachers.

In the afternoon he keeps a laundry shuttle. Until the fourth day Rey can run everything well. Can complete the exam and still help the work of his parents.

Friday is the last day of the exam, Rey has asked permission to go home a little late because she will gather with her friends at the cafe for refreshing. He promised to get home before Azar.

"Mom, you're done with the exam, you guys can't get together. I'm home a little late, huh?" rey's permission was with her mother this morning. Before he went to school.

"Yes, but don't get late before Azhar you should be home" replied his mother

"Good,Bu. Thank you," said Rey with excitement.

There is no difficulty for Rey to answer the questions presented on the monitor screen in front of her. He can answer all questions according to the set time.

He can smile with relief. His job as a high school student has been well done. After this, he waited for a miracle.

"Alhamdulillah, smoothly," he cried so relieved.

"Whatever the result, the important thing is that I've tried my best,"

Rey immediately tidied up her stationery and put it in her bag. After nothing was left behind she remained seated quietly. It's not time to leave the examination room.

"There's still 10 minutes left" Rey whispered inwardly.

He looked at his left right side, some of his friends were still there who had not completed the exam. There are also those who have been sitting in a dream.

And so is Rey. While waiting for the exam bell to ring, he chose to be quiet and contemplated.

She hoped that she would change her mind. His mother and father could give him permission to continue his studies in Jakarta. She is eager to realize her ideals as an independent woman.

"Hopefully Mother will allow me to go to Jakarta" Rey whispered inwardly.

To date, that permission has not been granted. Mother still stands by her stance. He had other plans for his life.

After graduating from high school, Aldy plans to marry her. Although the father disagreed, but the father could not make fun of the wishes of the mother. For mother this was an opportunity that might never come to her again.

Aldy who can be said to be well-established materially and family business he managed has proven to be quite developed over time will be able to provide a better life for Rey and family.

Aldy also doesn't mind if Rey is going to continue college. But she wants them to marry first church then Rey can continue college in the city and all ordinary will be borne by Aldy as her husband.

Although it was enough to give a fresh breeze to Ray's ears, but his little heart said another. Rey doesn't want to marry young let alone a man of different faiths. He prefers to pay for his own college and leave the city to achieve a dream.

"Aldy's been waiting for you for 2 years. I'm gonna marry you soon,"

"Rey doesn't mind, ma'am, but what about their beliefs that are different from ours?" ask Rey at that time.

"Aldy has agreed. he will test everything,"

Aldy has been waiting faithfully for his girl for two years until the completion of High School, why he had to be emotional if he had to wait a while longer. Rey has always been so sweet to him.

That thought became a priority that filled Rey's brain after the test. How he can avoid Aldy.

When friends in his class shouted freely after finishing the last exam, Rey was short of breath as long as she was still in a maelstrom of debate with her mother and how she could break away from Aldy without having to ruin her relationship with the mother who had been very good so far.

While celebrating the party after the exam with her friends in the IPA class, Rey feels someone is watching.

From the VIP room of the cafe, he caught a man he knew looking at him. In order to convince her sight, Rey looked at the person from a closer distance. Sure enough, it turns out that the person in the inner room, separated by a glass wall from where he stands is the man who inhabits mes 105.

"Not that he said he would be in Jakarta until this Sunday. Why are you hanging out at this cafe on Friday. "Once the fathers', that's the chaperone,"

Don't bother with the man's existence. Rey is back with her friends. He laughs, chatters and karaoke at the cafe ballrom.

Until he did not realize when the man in the VIP room was already by his side. Of course this invites glances and seductive smiles from his friends who are there.

"Rey, is that your guy?"

One of his friends. The man just smiled and caught a forced smile from Rey's bewildered face.

"Since last Wednesday I've been here. But I stayed at a hotel. If you want to finish your promise as soon as possible, I can go back to mess again soon, " whispered the man who was faintly heard by a friend who was beside Rey.

"Rey, what do you promise this om," joked the friend by throwing a little face at the man.

The man smiled sweetly. He immediately left the place and left a question mark from Rey's friends who were there. His steps were followed by two men wearing uniforms similar to the man.

"not nobody. She was my mother's customer. This week I promised to help clean up the house. That's all it is. I don't know his name either" Rey explained trying to answer the curiosity of his friends.

"Although he's an adult, he's very handsome Rey. Is he a married man?"

"Where I know. I was just given the task of picking up and dropping off the laundry because I was using mom's laundry service" Rey yelled a little annoyed.

That funny thing invites the laughter of his friends. They've memorized Rey's nature. Although he was impressed tomboyish and indifferent, but he was often embarrassed if disturbed related to his business with the opposite sex.
