Fantastic Earth (The Journey)

DIEGO

" Known, I'm Akira!" the toothless girl thrust her hand to shake with James.

" I, James!" James replied with a little groggy, though,

" you know, !" Akira laughed a little, the girl was indeed jolly and a little jaily.

James bowed embarrassed, his cheeks blushed red, occasionally he used his stationery to kill the shame.

" know this Yuna, my best friend!" James glanced at Yuna who was busy chewing gum, Yuna was very different from the jolly Akira, her facial features were always sour with no expression, her eyes were sharp, like an Eagle who was ready to swoop down on its prey,

" Yuna!" without shaking James' hand, Yuna introduced herself,

James who was embarrassed, no longer wanted to mention his name, he only returned the introduction with a nod of his head.

" if this is Bimbo!" Akira re-introduces his friend to James,

" I'm Bimbo, !" bimbo said the boy had round cheeks like a basketball, so his small lips were pushed forward by his large cheeks.

James nodded his head again to answer the greeting earlier.

" James, look at my tyrex!" Akira shows James his collection of caterpillars.

" well, a lot!" James was surprised to see it, though,

It turns out that he not only has one jar of caterpillars, but three jars of caterpillars with different types. The one she put in her pink bag.

" you're going to go home to school, right, play at my house?" whispered Akira

James just nodded in agreement over Akira's idea to invite her to play to his family's residence.

Moments later, the teacher came with a long wood to pick up the large green caterpillar that was wriggling on Mira's head.

Mother Teacher, approached Mira and prepared to take the caterpillar.

" you know, where's Mira's caterpillar?" The teacher was confused.

" it's been taken James Ma!" mira replied that her heart was flowering flowers, because her dream to sit with Farhan for many years could be realized because of the caterpillar incident.

" thank God, thank you James!" teacher said to James who was sitting crammed with Bimbo.

James, without a word, nodded his head while smiling at the beautiful teacher.

" Akira, take it!" James turned his body back, he gave something to Akira.

" well, do you want to tell me what James is?" Akira smiled with excitement.

James put something in his hands.

without further ado, Akira opened his palm, and,

" Digo!" her lips smiled widely, Akira was very happy, seeing her beloved green caterpillar back.

He named the caterpillar as Diego, a name inspired by Diego Maradona, his idol at football matches, because the green caterpillar was the most agile of his walks, than the other caterpillars in the jar.

James smiled at Akira who was always happy, whenever and wherever he was.

...****...

" James, let's go home together!" Akira offers to James to go home to school with him.

Somehow this girl never looked sad in her life, her positive energy, made the always moody James a little more cheerful than before.

" Come on!" James meng was Akira's invitation, eagerly Akira holding the cold hand of James. Akira saw Yuna who was looking for her in the classroom corridor.

" James, let's run!" Akira asked James to run quickly.

" what's up Akira?" James asked.

" Yuna is looking for me!" her word, her,

" why don't you want to go home with Yuna?" ask James.

His hollow heart was now filled with color. Akira, a simple girl who is able to enliven the lonely heart of James.

They kept running with laughter together.

Farhan who saw him from afar felt very hateful about the scene in front of his eyes.

To her Akira is her first love, to her, Akira is only for her self.

" look out for you James!" his hands clenched, his heart ached, why Akira preferred to be close to James, the man who never showed his face, the man who always looked down when walking, and who always looked down,

While Yuna who saw Akira with James, just shook her head while looking at chewing gum, then blew her into small bubbles between her lips. In her heart, she feels very happy, Akira can be close to James, because for her, whatever Akira chooses, is best for Akira, who is, he understands Akira more than himself.

Upon arriving at Akira's house, James is surprised to see Akira's enormous and luxurious home,

" I'm home,!" yelled Akira at her doorstep .

" Akira's home!" Her mother greeted her with a warm smile.

" mom, know this James!" James who was embarrassed, hid behind Akira's body which was slightly taller than his. Seeing James hiding behind his body, Akira pulls James' hand to kiss his mother's hand.

" James, kiss Mom's hand!" akira Pinta

then James looked up at his head, which was lowered, to look at his mother Akira.

" well, you're so handsome it turns out, why should you be embarrassed like that?" Akira's mother pinched James' cheeks in a fit of anxiety, her face too cute for a child of her age.

hearing the handsome words coming out of her Mother's mouth, Akira approached James's face, then removed the hat James had worn that he had not taken off all day, he watched every corner of James's face carefully, and then he felt a little surprised to see James's face, which was very handsome.

" Well, cute!" Akira pinched James' cheek just like his mother did.

This time he pinched James' cheek a little harder because of his anxiety.

" Oh, sick!" James was in pain.

" sorry, hehehe!" his smile that Akira wide, showing his toothless toothpaste, James laughed at Akira's toothless tooth.

" ha ha ha, where are your teeth?" ask James, please,

" get the tooth fairy!" akira replied casually

" does there really exist? Tooth fairy?!"

" there, he likes to steal the teeth of children who can't smile!" akira's face was so convincing, that it made James shudder in horror to hear her, afraid that the tooth fairy would also take her teeth.

" but lie hehehe!" Akira again showed his toothless droughts, they laughed together.

Hey, laughing at each other is better, right? Than laughing at others?

Akira's mother prepares lunch for the two of them, James is surprised that so many dishes are arranged on the dining table. Again, this scene he had never seen before,

" Come James, we'll eat together, don't be shy!" said Akira's mother, the woman always smiled at the two of them.

The delicious aroma of the food was evocative of James' appetite, his stomach that had been rumbling encouraged him to immediately eat the food available on the table.

" Come on James, what are you waiting for?" said Akira who had taken some rice pangs on James' plate, his hands that had been itching to take the food, immediately plucked some of the side dishes in front of him, then eat it with rice prepared Akira on the plate earlier.

" Good!" the happy expression on James's face, showed that the food he ate was indeed delicious,

" is that right?" mother Akira sumringah's face saw James who was seen enjoying his homemade food, James greedily spent the food that was on his plate, so happy he, so happy he was, his eyes glazed with glass while enjoying a dish made lovingly by Akira's mother,

" well, you like it? with my mother's cooking?" Akira is also happy to see James eating voraciously, while adding some food on James' plate. Seeing Akira adding some rice pangs on his plate, suddenly James fell silent, he bowed lethargic, looking at the rice that was in his presence, instantly a grain of clear granules fell from both of his eyeballs.

Akira and his mother were surprised to see that, they did not expect, James who looked happy now cried as much as he pleased, his feelings were very easy to change.

" James, why are you crying?" Akira's mother approached James, embracing him affectionately.

" I don't have a mother, and I never know what a mother is!" james said, His tears were flooding his chubby cheeks.

Akira who saw that, immediately got down from his chair, and joined James in his arms.
