CUPO

PATHS

Ayok hugged his three best friends. Nata who chose to use the headshet in question did not want to deal with the commotion that occurred between Ayok and Adit.

"Ehhh, there's a fireworks party"

Said Dimas releasing the arms of Ayok.

"Yoi broo's.. We're directly cuss to the middle of yuk"

Ayok dragged Nata and Dimas' hands while Dimas pulled Adit's.

"Broo.. Do not need to narik - narik also times"

Said Adit who had been destroyed mood but tried to enjoy.

Gia and Riri are still enjoying the market tonight without them knowing that the fireworks are about to start.

"Teh, Riri wants to buy arumanis first yes"

"Let's buy it"

"Get tea, Riri aja"

Said Riri convincing Gia.

"Yes already.. But Riri heart - heart yes"

Gia finally gave up because she was also quite tired for today.

"Yes tea"

Riri got off the chair and left Gia. Gia who was still cool eating ice cream did not expect if the fireworks party had begun.

(Outside... Duars.. Duars... )

The sound of firecrackers shaking the sky. The colors of the firecrackers also decorate the night sky.

Gia threw away the ice cream she was holding for a moment. Gia closed her ears with both hands because Gia had always been parno and was afraid of the sound of firecrackers.

"Aargh... "

Decak Gia tried to calm down. Gia closed her eyes tightly and lowered herself.

"Stek why? "

Riri asked worriedly at Gia's state.

"Teh Gia's.. "

"Teh.. "

"Tehh.. "

Riri asked repeatedly but still Gia still closed her eyes, lowered her head, and silenced both her ears. Riri tries to calm down the frightened Gia but Riri still cannot calm Gia down.

"Steak... Wait here yeah"

Said Riri before leaving Gia. Riri looks around to ask someone for help but Riri is too small for them to trust. Repeatedly Riri pleaded with people older than Riri but they did not want to because they were more concerned to see the fireworks.

Riri saw the whereabouts of Nata and his friends who were walking towards the center of the crowd at the center of the fireworks.

"Sister, please brother"

Said Riri who came in front of Nata.

"Broo..broo is a child why? "

Tanya Ayok patted Nata's shoulder. After seeing the existence of Riri who arrived - suddenly there in front of him Nata finally removed his headshet.

"Why deck? "

Said Nata squatting his legs so that he could talk parallel to Riri.

"Please teteh, Riri kak"

Said Riri pleading with Nata with glazed eyes.

"Nat the heart it's pickpocketing mode"

Dimas exclaimed to Nata who was staring at Riri's strange face.

"Husha.. That kid doesn't look like he's picking up"

Ketus Ayok's. Ayok and Nata try to get closer to Riri.

"Dec, calm down.. Try our same story, why? "

Tanya Ayok was serious.

"Yuk is with Riri.. "

Said Riri groping Nata's hand to follow him. While Dimas and Adit choose to follow Nata and Ayok from the back but with a distance a bit to keep watch - keep if this is fraud mode.

Riri leads Nata and Ayok towards Gia. But Gia had already disappeared from Gia and Riri's seat originally.

"Teh Gia's.. "

Shouted Riri observing his surroundings.

"Steak.. "

"Teh Gia where?? "

Shouted Riri back.

"Sir.. Why tetehnya? "

Nata asked seriously to Riri who had started crying a lot.

"Sound is gone.."

Riri. Riri ran looking for Gia's whereabouts to and fro but Riri still did not find while the firecrackers still repeatedly sounded loud from Riri's ears.

"Emang teteh you why? "

Ayok asked Riri who was walking in front of him.

"Teteh was afraid of the sound of firecrackers, Riri forgot that today there was a fireworks party.."

Riri said while crying. Nata and Ayok try to chase after Riri who is still running in search of Gia's whereabouts.

"Sister, help Riri find out"

Said Riri pleading with Nata and also Ayok"

"Surely we'll help you on deck"

Sahut Nata and Ayok.

"Seeh where the hell, Riri was worried the same"

Riri Whine. Riri stared at the large, dark tree. Riri saw that Gia was scared under a tree.

"That's teteh.. "

Shouted Riri galloping towards Gia.

"Teteh no papa? "

Riri asked to meet Gia who was crying in fear. Gia still closed her ears.

"Broo, it's not the cupu, is it? "

"Yes yok, that's cute"

Answer Nata. Riri immediately hugged Gia's body to make Gia feel calm.

"Teh sorryin Riri, because Riri has always been a gini"

Riri said while trying to calm Gia down.

"Tough..."

Ayok. Listening to Ayok Nata's words immediately stepped on Ayok's foot. Where maybe Ayok and Nata can mention the name of Gia with the name Cupu in front of his brother.

"Ups.. Sorry"

Ayok patted his lips for a moment.

"Teh Gia if it's quiet we go straight home"

Said Riri tidying Gia's hair that looks random - scramble. Nata tries to squat his legs.

"Gi, you don't papa? "

Ask Nata. Nata stroked - elus Gia's hair sincerely.

"Emmm.. Adek home where will brother take you home? "

"The same water Gia has no home, we live in an orphanage"

Said Riri. Nata is still trying to calm the frightened Gia.

"Sister, can't you hug Gia's tea? You see, if you like this, usually, Bu Rumi makes Gia tea, but Bu Rumi does not come to the night market"

Riri pleaded with Nata. Nata was silent for a moment whether he could hug the woman who became the target of one school.

"Of course you can dong, it's called sister Nata.. So we were her schoolmates, you"

Ayok said to Riri. Riri looked towards Nata who was still silent.

"If sister Nata does not want to let Riri who hugs Gia tea again"

Riri tried to hug Gia again. Nata stood up and dragged Ayok to negotiate for a while.

"Lo what - what the hell Yok, cook yes cave tell me to curl the cupu"

Nata Protest. This was impossible for him because of caste differences for him.

"Nata, you don't pity the cupu? Especially his sister noh.. Hugged me instead of you also ever in the same Cupu please? "

Tanya Ayok tries to convince Nata that she wants to hug Gia.

"Lo there's a hug"

"The adek says you're not a cave"

"Yok.. "

"Nata's.. Poor kids scared people"

Ayok. What Ayok said also has a point according to Nata. Nata also could not bear to see Riri and Gia. Without a second thought Nata's heart finally melted. Nata turned her back and ran towards Gia to hug Gia's body to feel calm.

Riri stood towards Ayok who waved his hand to have Riri with him.

"Anjirr the cave is looking for you where it turns out to be here"

Mumbled Adit who came with Dimas.

"The Riri doll's beats"

Said Riri arranging his doll brought by Dimas.

"Ohh.. So this is your puppet deck? "

Ask Dimas.

"Yes, sister, that was the doll that Gia loved for Riri"

Riri said adorable. Dimas finally gives the doll to Riri and pinches Riri's nose.

"Sorry yes, I thought this was a doll no one owned"

Dimas Seru. Adit and Dimas look towards Nata who hugs Gia and tries to calm Gia down.

"Broo.. That snippet? "

Ask Dimas in surprise to Ayok.

"Hush.. There's a brother, call Gia if it's the same"

"Like the word Gia? "

Tanya Adit looked seriously at Nata and Gia. Nata looks very sincerely embracing Gia and calming her down.

"No, so Gia's got a phobia of firecrackers and you know yourself there's a fireworks party"

"Ooo.. Poor as well as Gia"

Adit Seru. After a few minutes Gia was hugged by Nata finally Gia started to subside and calm down. Gia started to open her ears and eyes.

"Nata's.. "

Gia asked Nata who was in front of her.

"Udah you don't talk much"

Nata's words wiped away Gia's tears that were still clearly visible.

"Where riri? "

Tanya Gia searches for Riri's whereabouts.

"Steak.. "

Shouted Riri bustling - chest towards Gia.

"The cave between you and Riri came home"

Said Nata who saw the night conditions were getting late.

"Humming"

"Yok lo join gia anter cave just as Adeknya huh.. Same time Adit lo take a taxi"

Nata. Nata helps Gia to stand up and takes Gia and Riri to get to her car. Riri and Ayok sat on the back bench while Gia sat in front with Nata.

The journey is not far enough but Gia has fallen asleep while Riri is still busy babbling to tell the story of Gia's life so far.

"Thank you, my sister, Riri has just come home"

"It's the same - the same"

Riri got off the car followed by Ayok. Nata feels hesitant to wake Gia after the incident maybe Gia feels tired. Nata chooses to carry Gia's body towards her room.

Bu Rumi watched as the weakly lying Gia felt worried. Especially during the time. Miss Rumi is not on Gia's side. Nata pulls Gia's blanket over her body. Nata sighed heavily staring at Gia which turned out not to be as bad as what she had thought all along.

"Thank you all"

Said Bu Rumi to Nata and Ayok.

"Thank you for putting me to sleep and feeling calm." ~Gia Sabila Princess
