Andi X Sarah's

The Past (3)

“Oath, Brother. I'm the only one smoking. Cave friends ga ngerokokok,” reply Andi to convince.

“Ngapain lo smoking? Do you feel great?”

“Kak, older sister also smoking. The cave saw for itself last night. Yaudah, the younger sister is the example of her upperclassman.”

Andi pointed to someone, I didn't know what senior's name was. The body is big and the height is almost the same as Andi. From yesterday, that senior was indeed secretly alone. Not many other rich bacots. But, because Andi pointed at the senior, now his face looks creepy.

A friend of his held the senior's steps back from approaching Andi.

“Kevin, gone. Don't bring emotion,” he said.

“Ga can Pram. This kid doesn't know the same manners as senior.”

From there I found out they were Kevin and Pram.

Kevin approached and pulled Andi's jacket collar. Soon a hard fist landed on Andi's face.

“Gue senior lo. Keep your talk, motherfucker.” Kevin walked slowly away from Andi.

Andi fell on the ground in pain. Me, Nanang, and Felix quickly helped him. The other seniors did not care, they just stared cynically at Andi who had made trouble. Seasuntan, Andi deserves such harsh treatment.

From there I never saw Andi with one eye. There was a faithful side of a very large herd in his little heart. He was willing to bear the scorn and scorn of the crowd, just to protect his friends. In fact, when we came to help him. He still had a smile even though his lips were bleeding because of the so loud blow Kevin.

“You are the first friends of the cave that protected gini-rich cave, and you are the first friends of the cave who came when the cave was hit,” he said in a smile.

It was the last day of our camping. Some of the races that were held, we were able to attract the attention of many people, especially the upperclassmen who liked our group very much. You could say the faforit group.

We were scheduled to go home in the afternoon after the closing ceremony. There is a sense of pleasure, which is to be back with comfort in the house. However, I was sad because the togetherness was about to end.

That afternoon, on a hot day that was moist by the dew grains of the hill, it seemed Andi was chatting with our senior who boasted Andi at that time. At that time I was still afraid to fight Kevin and Pram. I could only see Andi being dragged away by the two while hiding in the bushes when Andi was beaten.

“Gua still do not accept the brash attitude lo that time,” said Kevin while hitting him. While Pram only saw Andi who fell on the ground.

Back then, Andi did not fight back in the slightest. He received every attack launched by Kevin.

“The cave says it's real, right? You can't sniff even if you're a senior of the cave.”

Andi was again beaten many times by Kevin until Andi groaned in pain. There was a blackening wound on his face that he could not hide.

Pram held Kevin's hand to not keep beating Andi. “Udah, he's bonyok his face. Kasian.”

“It is better you will not meet the cave.”

At that time I was still a weak Agus and afraid of the same new people. I could only shiver inwardly looking at Andi's blue face. I immediately ran to the society to complain this to Chief Osis. However, when I ran, Kevin immediately faced me.

“Lo want to ngadu? You might be rich he.”

Right at dzuhur prayer time, I did not see Andi's bag anymore inside the tent. I can't find him anywhere. A small letter was found next to our pile of bags.

The cave comes home first. The cave cat has not been fed. The cave told senior.

The day showed at two o'clock in the afternoon. The shining sun was not hot enough to burn in this cool air. We were gathered in the middle of the camp because the Chairman of OSIS was going to tell us something.

Meanwhile, Felix and Nanang repeatedly asked me where Andi was going. But I didn't answer. I just shook my head when they asked.

Toa's voice was buzzing as the OSIS Chairman brought it to life.

“Groups. Brother wants to tell you if you go to the river carefully because it is slippery and rocky. One of your friends slipped and his face hit a rock. Thankfully, it's okay. Now your friend is coming home first brought by the group OSIS who came home first.”

Now I, Andi, Felix, and Nanang are in one car. Andi took his car to get around town. I'm glad he came to the house and saluted me from the tantrums of the Father who complained with my bad grades.

That's a story I remembered a year ago. A story that made me really dislike Kevin and his members. I didn't want to see Andi like before, groaning in pain without a friend coming to help her.

That's why every Andi has a problem with them, I'm the first one to come forward to fortify Andi. In fact, Andi was always angry with me when I always intervened in her personal matters. For me no matter what the personal matter of the cake, what kind of problem the cake, the important problem of a friend I consider as my own problem.

I told you that I saw him beaten by Kevin back then. Andi only responded to her thin smile which I knew was very fake. He said that the issue need not be discussed again.

Right, I never talked about it again. At the end of 2014, the four of us were put into the Antophosphere which contained all the school's delinquents. At that time our school was invited to bawuran with the next SMK until we were invited to make brawls.

I'm afraid, is that a brawl? Words that many times are said to be the same father so that I never follow in the least.

What power, I just follow people who are tougher than me.

My eyes were completely wide at the sight of our opponent lifting the wooden beam that would be used to attack us. I couldn't hold back my feet that were beginning to tremble. This is the first time I joined the brawl.

There were three fearless people standing in the front row. Senior 12th class, Bang Ali, Kevin, and Andi stand up and puff their chests to the opponent. Me, Nanang, and Felix were in the back row.

Everybody attacked. My friends and I ran one by one. Like a lion in the middle of a head, Bang Ali hit the opponent easily. So did Kevin and Pram, they were very good at dodging attacks after attacks.

The shops on the left right side were closed. People are afraid to get close. Meanwhile the fight had already lasted ten minutes. I didn't know that person before, a dark-skinned person just like me. He confronted Senior Ali until he was helpless.

It is Memet, a famous SMK swordsman next to a fighting hero.

We saw Senior Ali himself uprooted and thumped by several opponents. Kevin asked us to step down. As we retreated, he ran to some of the people who were beating Senior Ali.

“Kevin!!!” call Andi while running against Memet who is dragging Kevin to the comberan.

We ran too far, so we couldn't save them.

However, from there I recognized the greatness of Andi's figure. The solidarity he held dear. Abstinence from leaving friends even lives in exchange.

Andi's hand hit the opponent many times until they all retreated. He pulled Bang Ali and Kevin who was helplessly hit by the opponent. Seeing that, we were getting smoldering to launch a counterattack so that the opponent could be repulsed. The opponent ran away in a storm as we ran.

Kevin's nose has been bleeding, Senior Ali's eyes are swollen next to his. We were sprawled on a field where we were strategizing brawls.

Andi was praised by everyone. In the cape like a hero who has just returned to war. I'm so proud, so are Nanang and Felix. Our best friend is becoming the strongest person right now.

However, Kevin's face remained staring in his hatred.

It seemed like we had been going around the city for two hours without a destination. One pack of cigarettes we smoked together in the car. The sound of a vehicle horn that will be too congested. I saw an asphalt road with a street vendor with five legs on his right left. The smoke of satay traders goes around giving rise to a distinctive fragrance. The hustle and bustle of merchants we cannot avoid. So crowded and boisterous in the twilight today.

This street is a witness.

“Andi, we used to brawl here,” I told Andi.

“Yes, bener.” Andi laughed because I brought it up.

“Cave keinget of the deceased Bang Ali.”

On December 27, 2014, Senior Andi died after a week of treatment for severe bleeding in his head.

Not because of the brawl, but because of a motorcycle accident.
