Cat Beloved Gras

Everyone finally went home. We pay our respects to the Master. I who wanted to go home was forced to take Gras home. Fortunately it was not too far from the Master's house, but quite far from my house. During the trip, Gras told me a lot. He told me what I didn't know.

“Hei, Malka. You're one school with Alya, right?” tanyakanya.

“Yes. Even we are one class,” I replied while embracing it.

“But you seem like you just got to know him recently,” said Gras astonished.

“Actually I am a person who does not get along easily. But I don't know.. It all started when Alya himself came to me first,” replied I explained Gras.

“You know? Not everyone who is friends is even familiar with it. Although he is indeed a friendly person, but he remains vigilant and protective unlike his treatment of us,” Gras explained to me.

“I, Ethan, and Ellie. We've been friends for a long time. We first met him when we saw him alone in the park. Like someone who is lonely and looks like they are waiting for someone else. But no one came to him. Finally we approached her and wondered, chatted lightly, and became acquainted. He was a different person when I knew him. He became friendlier and happier than we saw before.” Gras recounted his memories and his eyes were a little teary.

“Sip! Looks like we've arrived,” said Gras.

I looked in front of his house. Silent, silent, and only the sound of a cat meowing at him. I'm a little heavy-hearted asking what I shouldn't be asking.

“You live alone?” ask with a heavy heart.

“No. They are always there for me, ” he replied smiling as he lifted up his cats.

“Yah... I've been left by my family for a long time. We had an accident then. Only my mother and I survived. But my mother was very critical at the time. He was taken to the village treatment.”

“But darling, his life was not helped. Before his last breath he delivered a message to me.” My eyes were teary and sad to hear it.

You're a good boy, son

Mom and Dad are proud to have you

Be a useful child to people

Fight for justice

Don't waste your life

Gras—…

“I'm just pining my life on the side of the road. I saw Ellie and Ethan passing in front of me and they helped a grandfather to the station. I was determined to fulfill my mother's request, I helped her. I want to be useful to others.” Gras' words touched me and couldn't hold back the tears that fell to the ground.

“I didn't know them at the time. Until when it was done helping the grandfather, we chatted and got acquainted. It was then that the three of us became very close like brothers. Moreover, our goal is the same, beneficial for many people,” he continued who sobbed in tears. Then he lifted his head and was surprised to see me crying too. So I offered my condolences and apologized.

“I'm so sorry to hear that,” I said as I wiped the tears on my cheek with my hand.

“Thank you,” reply Gras nodded and smiled.

“I'm also sorry to have made you remember it again,” I said to Gras regretfully.

“Tak problems. Here's friend! We know each other like brothers. I'm glad to tell you,” smiled back and raised his tone a little.

“While I'm not alone, there are you, Alya, Ellie, Ethan, and my friends,” he added cheerfully while showing the cats. I can't see any tears on his face anymore.

“Oiya. Malka. This is Joe, Sophia, and Kyutie. They feel like family to me. Joe, Sophia, Kyutie, introduce this Malka,” said Gras introduced me to his cats and introduced his cat to me.

“Greetings!” I looked down at the cats and smiled. The cats were also meowing and jumping around cheerfully.

The day is getting late. There's no one outside except me, Gras, and the cats. I also want to go home.

"Bye bye!" reply Gras.

I walked to my house far away. I saw Gras still playing with his cats from a distance. I saw all around me only the street lights were on and the sound of crickets accompanying me during the journey.

"I'm so grateful for how I am now…"

On the way I saw a village that was crowded during the day, yet very quiet and quiet at night. No one was seen in my eyes. I take my steps even though I like to look back. Afraid someone would follow me. I just hope I get home soon.

A quiet and silent voice, at first glance there was the sound of someone else's footing around me. I look around. I turned before me in all directions. But there's nobody. Suddenly, Ethan patted me on the back. I was shocked and almost shouted. Fortunately I could hold it. Otherwise, I could be scolded out by the people for waking them up. With a slight annoyance I whispered in wonder to him.

“What are you doing?”
