Bima's Second Wife

chapter 28

I was running faster when I saw him desperately chasing me. Even though I knew it was heavy for him to carry his body weight but he was still chasing me. I keep running. Sometimes I run backwards and keep my palms on either side of my face and I make fun of it while sticking out my tongue. He's getting more and more excited after me. I saw my parents and my parents laughing at our behavior.

"Revelation!!" his screeches. I thought he was screaming for me. I got more and more excited about running, I turned my body intending to run hard leaving him. But...

Bruk!!!

My body is bent backwards. My hands and butt landed perfectly on the sand. My hands feel sore. My forehead, nose, and lips, it hurts. Then I realized when a thick, red liquid came out of my nose.

"Na, aren't you pa-pa? Your nose is bleeding! I called you, but you didn't hear me!" He's mad! Like a mother who gets angry when I'm stubborn for not listening to her.

I just hear his scolding. It's ordinary!

He helped me stand up. I looked up my head so that not much blood would come out of my nose, and slowly pushed me towards where our parents were. My mother and mother stood up and approached me worriedly, while my father and his father looked at us from where they were sitting whispering and then laughing.

Mother took a tissue to clean the blood in my nose but immediately grabbed it. He painstakingly cleaned the blood there without feeling disgusted. Of course while continuing to nag like a woman. He's a boy, but his carvings outweigh my pettiness! I also never win if I argue with him! I make sure his ideals as a successful lawyer will be achieved later on because of his cleverness and kebawel!

Mother and mother just laughed gigglingly looking at me who could only keep quiet. I who usually fight if others scold me now manut like a cat who is afraid of not being fed by his master, not fighting at all. Fuck up!

I'm upset, but I'm also happy for his attention. Although we were four years different, we felt that age gap had no effect whatsoever on our friendship.

Until then. I feel angry! Angry because he and his family will move to Surabaya! Her father was transferred to another branch office. Yes in Jogja his papa work in the office but he said there is only a branch office because the actual head office is in Jakarta. I used to know nothing but what I know is the office where his papa works is very big, once I went there because it happened that the father also worked there although different divisions he said, what is it 'division'? I don't know I didn't know anything at the time, but I didn't expect that 'he said' the office was small compared to the headquarters in Jakarta.

I kept it quiet for two weeks. I always avoided meeting him, at home or at school. Form my protest because I really don't want to be left behind. Can't wait until next year? At least let him graduate from SD. Maybe by then I have understood and I will let go of his departure sincerely, yes even though I will apply some conditions to him!

He was always chasing me and I always ran away from him. Until that day, I heard him grimacing in pain. I stopped and when I turned my body, I was surprised he was already sitting on the ground holding his leg. His pants are dirty because of the dust, in his hair there are also dry leaves attached there. The white uniform that is proud and always clean is now stained with brown color from the soil that is still wet due to the rain this morning.
