Ayu was still trembling standing in place with her eyes closed until the two plastic bags in her hand fell off. The contents of the canteen also scattered out, he was in shock, which was imagined in Ayu's memory is now just the face of the Mother.
A hand held Ayu's shoulder, making her realize that she was still alive.
Especially when he heard someone say, "If you want to die, don't hurt anyone else!"
The clashing of the voice made Ayu open her eyes, she was stunned to see a handsome man of such high stature, dressed in neat clothes standing before her.
Ayu looked up, her eyes unintentionally staring at the handsome manic eye. The shady face made Ayu's heart tremble, but remembering the spicy words made her realize and look around.
There is a damaged Merci car, the corner of the front body dents hit the pavement. Ayu rounded her eyes, she was at a loss how to take responsibility.
This incident is his fault, if he did not chase the angkot earlier and patiently wait for the angkot that comes next, maybe the luxury car will not be damaged.
"You have to compensate! You know how much my car repairs cost huh!" said the young man again.
"Sorry sir, I didn't intentionally. I was in a hurry to get home."
"You're a schoolboy, after all, also wandering around the market where you're still dressed in uniform."
Ayu was just silent and downcast, she could not possibly tell her family problems to just anyone, let alone to people she did not know at all.
"You don't pretend to be sad, so that I'm sorry, anyway I don't want to know, you have to keep the indemnity."
"Sorry sir, I don't have any money, I'm still in school while my mother only works at people's homes" Ayu answered almost in tears.
"Then let's go to the police station! We'll finish it right there!" said the young man while pulling Ayu's hand.
"Please sir don't take me to the police station! I don't want to go to jail, hiks..hiks, I still want to go to school," Ayu pleaded with tears.
Ayu no longer knows what to do, because she was confused she could only cry.
"You don't cry, I won't feel sorry for your crying! Don't think that by crying everything can be done!"
The young man pulled Ayu's hand, but Ayu threw the young man's hand down and said, "Sorry sir, not that I refuse to take responsibility, but wait a moment." said Ayu as she turned around, walking towards his groceries that had fallen scattered.
Ayu collects chilies, onions, tomatoes, fish and vegetables scattered on the road, she must deliver the groceries first to the house so that her mother can cook.
When he finished he went back to the young man and said, "Okay, sir, I will take responsibility for my mistake, but please let me take these groceries to my house so that after Mom gets home from work later, there's something he can cook."
The young man agreed, then he pulled Ayu's arm and asked her to get into the car.
Ayu also said, he resigned if indeed to the police station can solve the problem rather than he had to tell this incident to the Mother, which would definitely add to his burden.
In the car there was only silence until they reached the area where Ayu lived. Ayu asks the young man to stop his car in front of the alley, because Ayu's rented house goes into a narrow alley where four-wheeled vehicles cannot enter.
After that they went down, the young man parked his car on the side of the road in front of the alley, then he continued to follow Ayu until he reached a small house with a walled board.
After that he let the young man in, then Ayu put her groceries into the refrigerator and wrote a message on a piece of paper that she would go to stay at Sisil's house because of the many school assignments that had to be discussed.
Ayu is forced to lie, she does not want to make Mom anxious, if it is true that she is detained at the police station, tomorrow she will just contact Mom.
The young man saw what Ayu did, in fact he felt pity, seeing the condition of the house, the, seeing Ayu who had quoted one by one groceries that did not miss an onion left behind and now wrote a letter that contained lying to the mother that she would stay at a friend's house for doing schoolwork.
Before Ayu folded his letter, the young man had read the contents of Ayu's letter, so he suspected that Ayu did not want to trouble his mother.
Now he was curious about the girl's life, and he asked, "Where's your dad?"
Ayu was surprised to hear the young man's question, then sadly she replied, "My father was dead before I was born, I never felt what father's affection felt like. It's just Mom I have, and I don't want to add to her mind burden if I leave a message that I'm going to jail."
"You can't lie forever that you're staying at a friend's house, your mother will definitely look for you there if you don't go home."
"Let's just say, tomorrow morning I'll be honest with Mom that I'm being held at the police station, which is important when she comes home tired I don't want to burden her with this."
For a moment the young man fell silent, he began to be interested in getting to know this girl's life. A girl who thinks she is cute but kind and loves her mother very much.
"Come, sir, how can you be dumb? don't let us still be here when my mother comes home," asked Ayu who was ready to account for her mistake."
The young man came out of the house followed by Ayu behind him. They then headed for the car and ayu was asked to go up quickly.
The car was traveling at a moderate speed, and the young man asked, "That's where you contracted or your own house?"
"Guister, God has not provided sustenance for us to buy a house."
"Oh," that was all the young man could say.
The young man continued to drive a car towards the police station, Ayu's heart was pounding irregularly, a feeling of fear began to come.
"Why are you pale! be afraid! want to change your mind?"
Ayu shook her head, however, she had to dare to face the police.
Arriving in front of the police station, the young man turned his car around, he did not enter. The curious Ayu then asked, "Why did you turn the car around? Did you change your mind? Did you forgive me and not imprison me" asked Ayu, looking at the handsome man's face.
"Just kid! I changed my mind the answer was yes, but I didn't forgive you. Lucky for you to love a mother, I remembered my mother."
"Where should we go, sir, what will you do?"
"You come along, later you will also know how you can pay the compensation."
