FREAK GIRL AND PRINCE BROTHERS

Episode 11 - MIWON STATEMENT

Ngipik Lake, Gresik

I don't know what I was thinking about earlier. Everything that happened to me today seemed to just pass by. And the events that quickly passed were not so pleasant. I know, I feel sad. But I don't know what to do to get rid of this sadness. One thing I regret, why was I born like this? With a face that scares everyone! Right now I really feel ungrateful! I am disappointed with my appearance. So too with my personality.

Sometimes I imagine if I was born Timmy, there would be many people who admire my appearance. If I was born as Mayang, then people easily get along with me. Even I'm sure, at least they have their flaws and advantages simultaneously. Even the advantages that other girls had stood out more than the flaws they had. But why am I the only one who stands out in terms of having flaws? I am a less grateful person! Even I'm not quite sure there are guys who would love a scary girl like me, especially Ed! Maybe Ed really knew how I felt about him and just now it was as if he was clearly polishing me subtly by apologizing for everything!

Suddenly my head was cold. I looked. Miwon puffed his tongue while still holding the soda can over my head. Then he gave me that soda can. He started sitting next to me.

“Thank you. Later I change,” I said while showing the soda can I was holding.

Miwon laughed loudly.

“Hahaa.. what the hell! Don't have to. I bought it,” he said after sipping his soda. I opened it and drank it too.

“Then next time it's my turn to buy.” Miwon did not answer. He just looked at me with his special smile. I was wondering why he brought me all the way here?

I guess he'll take me somewhere not too far from school. But after almost an hour, we passed

gate ‘Gresik’ City. I just realized how far he took me. We are now standing near the lake. Some people were seen fishing while occasionally chatting and some others brought their children to play with games that were near the lake. I turned my attention to the two little children playing seesaw. They look very happy. Seeing them both reminds me of Mayang. When we were kids, we were that familiar too. Always playing together.

“Now your face is far away looking relaxed,” I immediately turned to someone next to me. Miwon says it while holding his chin with his hand.

“Whatever previously looked like what?” many confused. Miwon flicked my pony and his index finger touched my forehead.

“Although not very visible, the wrinkles always appear here. I can see it clearly. Your face looks a little bright now,” he sipped his drink again. I closed my forehead again with my lap bangs. I try to enjoy the lake in front of me. The wind here also feels fresh.

“Sheets here are good. Many are fishing here yes,” I said while still looking straight ahead.  “This lake has a name?”

“Yups. Soot Ngipik.” I looked towards him.

“Why do you know this location? Though the direction of the road a lot of the difference is quite complicated. You often walk in Gresik huh?” Miwon laughed again.

“You don't know yet? I'll stay here. So any location Gresik I know dong,” I was a little surprised to hear. Isn't Miwon one house with Ed? Maybe Miwon noticed my confusion, his facial features began to turn sour.

“Yaa. Actually I've never lived one house with brother Ed. Our parents were divorced a long time ago and only yesterday the four of us met each other. Actually, I've wanted to tell you a long time. But.. rather complicated anyway!” he said, occasionally scratching his head.

“It's okay if you're not ready for the story. Whenever you want to confide in something, we will be ready to listen to you,” I said as I patted her on the shoulder.

“We?” i'm nodding.

“Iya. Me, Hami, and Timmy,”. Miwon lowered his head.

“I just want to tell you,” I was stunned for a moment. “Because right now you're the only person I can trust,” his face started looking at me.

I don't know what to answer. I just fell silent. Miwon looked down again.

“After my mother gave birth to me, the four of us stayed in Gresik. The incident that broke the family chain was the night that Ed and I saw the report card in the room. That night I came home drunk. Ed and I just saw my mom carrying my dad's body near the living room. Dad kept begging mom to grant her request for work outside the island. Dad said that my salary would go up, make us happy, or something. I kept begging nonstop. Mother did not press him and continued to carry Dad to the room,” I continued to listen to the story carefully.

“Entah why dad immediately act rude by throwing things and just keep shouting. Dad said it's better to just die. Dad picked up a knife in the kitchen and tried to stab himself. Mom tried to hold him. I saw the look on my father's face like a fidelity. The knife was scratched in my mother's face. Insofar

“I never got word of them at all. Until I had the chance to go back to Gresik and look for traces of Ed's brother from his friends. That's why I went to school there. I want to be close to him. But he never wanted to accept me and my father again. Just yesterday, he accepted me again.

Ever since that night, he's hated me so much. He also hates me for defending my father. Once I understood, many hate factors surrounded him. Like fathers who hurt mothers, fathers who divorce mothers, and recently I know that their lives are miserable after parting with fathers. While in Kalimantan, my father once revealed the reason for divorcing my mother. I don't want to hurt my mom anymore. Although the mother did not mind it, but the scar made her remember the mistakes she had made. Every night I couldn't sleep and just pensive. And I know every time you fall asleep, he's always having nightmares. In his sleep, he often called his mother's name and apologized. In the end I realized, the four of us were both hurt, equally unhappy.”

I listened to her tell a story and hardly blinked at all. I thought to myself, if they both suffer and bear wounds, why do they not intend to reunite? If only the word ‘maaf’ could be able to solve it. But almost no one is at fault.

“Ed still hate his father?” tanyaku carefully. Miwon raised his face, started to look at me. “Maybe Ed already forgave it. Because all I know is Ed's not the kind of person who hates someone for too long.”

“Indeed earlier brother Ed has tried to accept father. But maybe all of that was hindered by my stubborn father. His sharp words could never change. Our father was a strict, stubborn, sharp-mouthed man. Even so, the father loved his wife and children. Dad was never gentle and always educated us hard. But sometimes my father always showed us his affection. Like always taking the time to take us traveling, often singing edelweiss songs in the time we will sleep, helping us work on pr. There were many, although not as much as my father's harsh treatment of us. Here are the most beautiful memories. Dad used to take me and Ed's brother fishing here. This lake is my only special place,” Miwon stopped talking and brought her face closer to me.

“I've told a lot. Must make you bored, huh? My intention was to comfort you. Eeh. I even vent! Hhe..,” I shook my head quickly.

“Not at all. I'm even happy, you play here and you can open up with me. I'm sure one day Ed will realize his father's affection, just like you. I hope you can reunite like you used to,” I said as I wiped the almost flowing tears. I was so excited to hear him tell such a story.

“I hope so too. I also want Brother Ed to remember the affection you once gave me. At least with that in mind, it can make him have the desire to make up with his father again,” said Miwon while supporting his body by leaning both hands behind his back. I thought for a moment. There may be a way for Ed to recall his father's affection. Maybe I can help by doing something. Miwon looked again. “So, you and Mayang are actually cousins?” I nodded slowly. Miwon nodded.

“Nevent thought yes, you two are on the sibling,” I turned my head quickly.

‘HAH! How did he say it was like that??! So shy!’

“Emang anyway, I admit that brother Ed is more cute and pinter than me. Must be a lot of girls who have a crush on him.”

I immediately replied, “Hami does not tuh!”

“Yaa. if Hami is an exception. He looks a little weird when he's the same guy. But I used to be shocked too, he was never fascinated also my fondness,” this child pedenya exorbitant deh!

But indeed the saucy is almost the same as his brother. But after Miwon said that Hami was never fascinated by himself or a guy like Ed can also be said to be wrong anyway! Because Hami even had time to admire Miwon and Ed personality and physical by expressing it in the writing of his novel. Try Miwon know that Hami included it in the novel character, hohoo.certainly PEDENYA ALREADY DEWA LEVEL!

“No need to talk to anyone,” my tudingku pretended to be upset. Miwon laughed.

“Nakya brother Ed is estimated by many girls!” he said while looking up at the sky. I shook my head while clucking many times.

“Basic ngiri sama sodara. Nyoh, Timmy was like a heavy crush on you. Seneng right? Fascinated by the sweetest girl in one school,” dumelku instantly.

“I'm more fun if the one who has a crush on me is the most scary girl in one school,” DEG! I looked quickly. Miwon was still looking at the ceiling.

‘Mak... What does this mean? What girl do you mean it's me? He's kidding, right? But why didn't she say it while laughing like usual? But he can say it's that relaxed?’ thoughts whirring. I gasped when Miwon turned to me. I immediately turned my eyes. I felt something filling my left shoulder. I glanced slowly. Miwon rests his head on my shoulder!

“Gyaaaa.. MOVE...!!!” I tried to get rid of her head with my right hand, but Miwon still held on.

“Just a minute, Fik. I want to be like this,” he said without laughter. I started to whine. What exactly did Miwon do anyway? I don't get it. Whatever he always did I never guessed so easily. At first I thought he was the happiest boy I knew. But it turns out he also has a rather dark past life. I just bow down.

“Again look at me, the one who likes you. I'm serious about chasing you. It doesn't matter who you like. I can make you forget it by seeing who I really am.” I blinked my eyes many times.

‘GOD! WHAT IS THIS SO-CALLED LOVE STATEMENT?!”
