"Huf.. Today was exhausting" said a young man with purple pupils. His name is Rafa.
"Again, why is he (teacher) late? That's why we're going home longer" lamented a young man beside him. His name is Kevin.
"You just protest directly to him" Rafa replied.
"You think I'm brave? Of course not!"
Tittt
Simultaneously, Rafa and Kevin looked towards the road due to the loud sound of the car horn.
Just across the street, a small child stood still while looking at the car that was speeding towards him. He did not make any movement. Not even trying to escape.
"That's dangerous!"
"Duh," Kevin's face was hit by the bag that Rafa threw. His friend ran to the middle of the road. "Stupid, what are you doing?!" bemused.
Rafa pulled the hand of the little boy firmly until he and the boy fell together on the sidewalk of the road.
Busshhh
The car is fast without reducing its speed. He seemed to not care if he would hit a child earlier.
Rafa looked at the little boy who had fallen over his body. He grimaced a little because the boy hit his body. Even so, he had to ask her the situation, "You okay?"
The boy immediately got up and sat down next to Rafa. He seemed a little surprised by what had just happened. For a moment he was silent. Until Rafa finally came back to talk, "Have, you're safe now. How's your condition?"
The boy looked at Rafa and just nodded to reply.
Rafa sighed in relief. He stood up and helped the boy to stand up, "Why are you standing in the middle of the street? That's hazardous. If I hadn't seen you there, you might have been hit by a car."
The boy nodded in response. There were not many expressions he showed after that shocked expression earlier.
"His parents were so careless that they let their child almost get hit in the street" Rafa muttered as he looked at the child. He realized that the clothes he was wearing were very large for his small size. "They even gave a big dress to their son. Do they wish the clothes could be used until he grows up?"
The child in front of Rafa only noticed himself continuing to mutter in a small voice.
"Rapha! You okay?!" shouted Kevin who started approaching Rafa. He looks worried. The actions of his friend were very reckless and reckless.
"I'm fine. He also seemed to be unharmed," Rafa retorted as he glanced at Kevin for a moment. His gaze was again turned to the child in front, "Where are your parents? Why are you alone in this place? It's almost night."
The boy shook his head, "I'm alone. I don't know where this is. Before I woke up on a small road, then I intended to walk the road. And then, that's what happened."
"Have her parents just thrown her away? Too bad. Even though he was a kid. They had the heart to leave a child of his age alone here" whispered Kevin near Rafa's ear. His gaze occasionally glanced at the child with a look of pity.
Rafa nodded at his friend's words, "Ehm.. What's your name, brother?"
"Leon" replied the boy.
Leon shook his head, "I don't want to."
Rafa frowned with an astonished expression, "Why don't you want to? You will get a place to live and food there. You can make a lot of friends too."
"If I could get something like that, I would definitely have to pay for it with something. I don't have anything for that."
The answer from Leon made Kevin and Rafa blink a few times. They laughed at her reply, "Hahaha.., You don't have to pay anything for the orphanage. You just enjoy it," Kevin replied.
Leon shook his head, "I don't want to."
"Then do you want to meet your parents?" ask Rafa.
"I don't remember anything. All I remember is my name."
Kevin and Rafa cast glances at each other. That answer seemed to answer some of their questions, "You lost your memory? How come?" ask them simultaneously.
Leon closed his mouth. He himself did not know what had happened before.
"You sure you don't want to go to an orphanage? If you go there maybe an orphanage can help you find your identity. You can also meet your parents soon, too" asked Rafa a second time.
Even so, Leon still shook his head and rejected the proposal from Rafa.
In the end after much thinking of ways to solve the problem, Rafa takes Leon to his home. Although the house is not large, but the house is comfortable. In its place also has a cool room. There is a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and 2 bedrooms located on the 2nd floor.
"For a while you can stay in my house until you meet your parents. They may be worried about you right now" Rafa said.
Leon, who continues to refuse to enter the orphanage, ends up hitching a ride at Rafa's house because it was the man who kept persuading him. Rafa may not want if the child seems to be hanging on the streets. Therefore, he wanted to give her a place.
"Since then he has been silent. Children of their age are often noisy. Maybe he is confused now? If you think about it, first he just lost his memory. Second, the car almost hit him. Thirdly, she suddenly had to stay temporarily in a foreign house, "inner Rafa with eyes that kept paying attention to Leon.
The boy looks 10 years old. Memory loss will definitely make him very confused. Maybe even fear and panic. He was worried that Leon would be scared and panicked like that. Because he doesn't know how to handle it.
"For now it's best to rest first. Eum.. If you think about it, your shirt is too big. I'll find you a little outfit you might be able to wear. Wait here."
Hearing Rafa's words, Leon simply nodded.
A little while later, Leon had already changed his clothes with the clothes that Rafa had given him. Black shirt dress with super hero image.
"Hehehe, there's nothing else but that shirt" said Rafa awkwardly. "We're going to go buy clothes for you tomorrow, because it just so happens tomorrow is Sunday. All righty! Now I'll show you your room in the meantime."
Leon watched every inch of his bedroom after arriving. White wall paint with brown lines below, enough beds for 2-3 people, medium brown cabinets, study tables and chairs. Then the window that was near the bed with a brown hordeng.
"Why do you want to help me?" asked Leon with a gaze that was still directed at the room room.
"Ep.. I don't think there's any reason to help someone" Rafa replied. "Of course, it doesn't really matter. Now that you rest here, I'll make you some food."
Leon just kept quiet without replying to Rafa, until finally the young man went downstairs.
