Not Home

Mr. Reno forgot that he was the only place to depend on his sons. Mr. Reno is an adult who must understand his sons. However, instead of taking good care of his son, Mr. Reno made his sons sad. Mr. Reno's eyes were red from crying mixed with rainwater.

Mr. Reno feels he has failed as a single parent. He is not reliable. Mr. Reno even vented his anger on Rafael earlier. In fact, it's not Rafael's fault if their family's economy deteriorates, right?

Mr. Reno was wrong to vent his anger. Mr. Reno hugged his knees and his face was down. He looks very sorry.

"Sorry, Rafael! I'm sorry that I often lose control of this! If it's like this, I'm not sure I can take care of you guys properly," Mr. Reno whispered while hitting his own head, so sorry.

The next day ....

"Hello, Eric! I'm on my way home." Mr. Reno greeted someone who had just contacted him. For some reason, Mr. Reno didn't come home last night.

"Papa, Brother Rafael ran away from home! He wasn't in his room and he wasn't in the school either." A teenage boy's voice from across the phone. He is the youngest son of Mr. Reno, Eric Yudhistira.

"Are you sure, Eric? You've been looking around the house?!"

"Yeah, I've been looking for Brother Rafael around our village too, Papa. But, I couldn't find Brother Rafael. Besides, he didn't pick up my calls either."

"It's unusual for Rafael not to come home like this, Eric. Even though your brother is naughty, but not once did Rafael not come home."

"That's why, Papa. I'm worried about Brother Rafael. Yesterday afternoon he came home just to take a motorbike, then went with a backpack. I didn't suspect anything because I thought that Brother Rafael had group work at his friend's house. Brother Rafael didn't come home last night, even today Brother Rafael hasn't come home. When I went to his class earlier, Brother Rafael didn't go to school either."

"Okay, wait for me to come home! I'm on my way home. Oh yeah, try to call Rafael's close friends.

Mr. Reno ended the call. He was on the train at the moment. Yesterday an old friend offered to work for Mr. Reno, so Mr. Reno came to his friend's house to inquire further.

However, suddenly his youngest son called and informed him that Rafael had not been home since yesterday. Mr. Reno's mind became chaotic.

Mr. Reno called Rafael's number several times, but the number was not active. This made Mr. Reno groan in frustration.

"Aargh ... why didn't Rafael pick up my call?! Rafael must be very angry because of what happened yesterday," muttered Mr. Reno.
