Don't Go away

Ep 4: Fear

This morning I felt lethargic, my panda eyes were also too visible. I could barely sleep last night, Reza's words still in my head were really irritating. I was just dumbstruck in class until my friends asked me if I was okay, of course not.

"Girla!" Call Latte.

"uh? Why?"

"Why are you all day? Is it because Reza moved?"

I who was surprised to hear it was immediately downcast, I felt I was not upset. I felt like my emotions were mixed up, out of fear, anxiety, and disappointment. I'm a close friend of Reza's, why would he hesitate to tell her. If he can tell us before he moves, maybe we can spend more time together. But, she..

"Ouch!"

"Ella you're not papa?"

I stumbled over a rock and fell down, it was hard to stand up again. Why did I become like this, I must forget about it immediately. Excited Ella!

Going home by myself, I also rarely stop by the mbok Ismi stall. I have so many friends why worry, I'll be fine without him.

I felt like a boarding boy, I also had to learn to wash my own clothes and cook. I also have to clean the house so that aunt does not need to go back and forth to the house. Even though it's heavy I also have to get used to, I shouldn't bother auntie.

At night, it rained heavily along with strong winds. I hope the electricity doesn't die later, I'll be very scared if it happens. I just said, and it happened.

"Aah!!"

The power's off, it's really dark and I'm starting to freak out. I tried to find a flashlight in the drawer while fumbling around, but I didn't find it. I decided to go to my room, I climbed the stairs carefully because I could not see clearly because it was so dark. I sat on the mattress while speechless, only the sound of rain and lightning striking could be heard.

"Mother..."

"Girla!!"

"Ah? Aunty?" I heard aunt's voice from below, I went straight out of the room and met her.

When auntie came the electricity was on, I was very relieved. I hugged her while crying, and I also fell asleep while crying in her arms. I don't know if a kid my age would cry in fear like me if I experienced the same thing?

My eyes were swollen from crying last night, my aunt is still home today she said she was awake and I could see her later.

"Em.. is that. your eyes?" Latte asked with a bit of irritation.

"Yes, these are my eyes, whose eyes are there again.."

I told her why my eyes looked so swollen, she hugged me and asked if I was okay. I feel a little relieved to be able to tell it, I'm glad to have a friend like Latte.

It's time to go home, I can go to the hospital now, I want to take Latte but I don't see where she is. I looked around the gate, he was outside. "Latte!" I called him and walked towards him.

"I'm waiting for you here!" Legally.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry you know that, too.."

I invited Latte to go see Mom, she wanted to come but couldn't take too long. I also wanted to show Mom that my friend is not just Reza, I have many other friends. I also wanted to ask if the Reza Family had said goodbye to Mom, maybe it should have.

Seriate..
