FREAK GIRL AND PRINCE BROTHERS

BONUS II: Timmy Stops in His Heart

Edelweis, Let's Screw Up!

When the break came, Hami and Afika dragged me under a tree near a basketball court. They forbade Miwon to come with the three of us because we were talking about something related to the female secret, which is my secret. The three of us had a video call last night and I told her that I had just spontaneously expressed my feelings to Edelweis.

“Since when did you like Ed?” Afika precedes Hami who wants to speak first. I also just smiled shyly. Hami held my shoulder with a probing look.

“Iya nih! Is it okay that your love for Miwon has only been your impingement because he could not reach his brother's feelings? Then now you feel that it's time?”

“Hey, novelist! Your imagination has gone too far.!!!” seruku later.

“WHAT?! TIMMY HAS A CRUSH ON MY BROTHER?!” the three of us were shocked when we saw Miwon appear behind the tree. Miwon looked a bit in shock.

“Hey, why do you always like to hide there anyway?!” Afika exclaimed with annoyed feelings. Maybe he was upset because Miwon did not obey his words to not follow the three of us.

“Wait a minute..wait a minute.!!!” Miwon held his temple and thought hard. “So all this time I was just as a place for Timmy? Well, brother Ed is that popular..,”

“Think you're a distance, oppa!” jeritku. I pressed his head so that Miwon quickly realized what he said. Why are Hami's words like magic? Everyone can believe his words. But actually I am...

“Why even a sad face?” ask Hami confused. The three of them were waiting for me to talk. Duh, their gazes make me a bit nervous. “Timmy, speak!” Hami shook my body.

“Duh, yes yes!!! I don't know why I said that to Ed.”

“HAH?!!” duh, the three of them are kind of idiots anyway. It was so noisy shouting at the same time. I saw Miwon turning around to look at me. Looks like my oppa this one is starting to try thinking again. While my two friends saw Edelweis who was walking here. HUH UH?! Ed's going to be here?! What am I supposed to do? What's?! What's??! Why am I panicking like this?!

“Fik, I want to talk to you for a while,” Edelweis said calmly. Edelweis glanced at me for a moment before withdrawing Afika's hand. But Miwon held Edelweis' hand.

“What are you talking about, brother? Does it need anything to be kept secret?”

Edelweis took a momentary breath. Then look at the four of us with doubtful gazes. ‘Hah! Is he really going to curse Afika?!’ thought later. Edelweis opened and closed his mouth many times like holding back to say something. Then he looked at me.

“Tim, can you help me say it?” edelweis' words caused me to panic for a moment. ‘GYAA..!!! Ed is crazy! But Ed has come this far! I have to help her!’ I put my finger in front of Afika's face bravely. Edelweis imitated me nervously.

“KAU! BASIC FEMALE SAMBAL-FACED!”

“KAU! BASIC FEMALE SAMBAL-FACED!” Ed also imitated my voice. Both Hami, Miwon and Afika looked at us with confused gazes. I reacted as if I were on the stage.

“YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MANY WOUNDS ARE IN MY HEART?! YOU'VE PLAYED ME A LOT!”

“YOU DON'T KNOW KAN..,” Ed shifted his body near me and whispered, “You're serious?” I nodded my head steadily. Edelweis continued, “YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MANY WOUNDS ARE IN MY HEART?! YOU'VE PLAYED ME A LOT!”

“Kakak, what are you talking about..,” Miwon immediately stood on his back to Afika. ‘Cih, oppa! He always acted as if he was the hero of the misfortune knight for Afika!’ The atmosphere had become somewhat tense.

“Yes.I'm sorry, I don't want to hear you talking anymore that I'm a good person in your eyes. Because I'm not the angel you thought I was.”

I saw sadness in Afika's eyes. Perhaps the last words that Edelweis said to himself hurt Afika a little. Miwon pulled the collar of Edelweis' uniform roughly.

“HIT, BROTHER, ENOUGH!!!”

I immediately shouted loudly, “ED, IT'S TIME!!!” Edelweis heard the command from me and as if understanding what I said, he immediately punched Miwon in the cheek loudly. Afika and Hami shouted in surprise. Hami pulled me up and exclaimed, “TIMMY! What are you planning to do with Ed?”

“I have taken out the other side of the angel,” I replied as I rolled my eyes. Afika tried to hold Miwon who was about to turn around to hit Ed. As for Edelweis, yes, the angel looked at the two with a sense of relief. At least what he did had reduced his heart wound. Shortly afterwards he laughed loudly as he huddled on the ground. That same day I saw the laughter of an angel. His face that was blocked by the silhouette of the sun was admirable. I laughed with him too.

“You're crazy huh?” Hami shook his head in disbelief. While Afika did not seem to be crying and Miwon saw us like a wry goat.

“I'm sorry, Afika.. Sorry too, deck Miwon. These were all Timmy's ideas and I felt I had to do it on a humanitarian basis against myself!” edelweis in the laughter.

“And we've managed to humanize you, right, sis?” in the end, Miwon did not get angry. In the end the tense atmosphere now changed into a blaring laugh from us. Sometimes a mess can be met with laughter if we can be honest with each other and the angel has proved it.

...***...

“To the conqueror of the heart I will surrender my soul without a long thought. I've made sure your presence becomes a whip for him. But drunk to me. I don't feel a threat near you. Feel my burning sincerity. Heaven and earth were able to feel it too,” after saying that sentence, Timmy dropped himself into the arms of the young man in front of him. “Duhai the conqueror of the heart..,” has not continued in the next sentence, his eyes darted towards the audience bench. Seeing the figure of the guy he was thinking about every night lately was sitting among the bleachers of the audience who almost empty jump made him soar with excitement.

“Edelweis, hey! My man!!” he pointed towards the direction where Edelweis was sitting. Mr. Halim, the theater coach teacher who sat in the front of the audience bench immediately turned his body back. Edelweis who felt uneasy immediately smiled awkwardly.

“Timmy, you have to seriously dong. We are still a week away from performing!” luh the guy in front of Timmy who had previously played a role with him. Timmy patted the guy's cheek slowly with a smile. The guy was fascinated when he saw Timmy's face nearby.

“Alright, the beggar of the heart. I'll be more serious.”

“Good. Until here the training. Tomorrow afternoon we gather again as usual yes,” sir Halim got up from his seat and clapped. “Good job! Thank you to those of you who worked hard today.”

Timmy and the rest of the theater applauded. And so did Edelweis. Then Edelweis walked up to Timmy who got off the stage. But his steps came to a halt when he saw the guy who had previously trained with him coming closer to the girl.

“Timmy, I'm buying yuk.”

“What order?”

“Ummh, in order pedekate. eeh. the success of our theater practice today.”.

“Means you want to treat us all dong!”

“We all?” repeat with a confused face.

“Iya. We are! Friends one theater.”

“Eh.. uhh..no! Wasn't it! Meaning..,”

“But sorry I can't come. I had an appointment with someone,” after saying that, Timmy turned around and held a peace sign while smiling broadly at Edelweis. Edelweis saw the previous guy was gawking at his departure with Timmy.

“Tim, you intentionally yes?”

“What intentional?”

“He just wants to treat you. That means he..,”

“Oh so his name is Steven,” Edelweis was silent for a moment. Earlier when he saw Timmy being approached by a guy named Steven, he felt discomfort. He felt a strange feeling that he did not notice. ‘Either why I feel a little dislike seeing that sight,” so thought. “Lha, continues? Should be you..,”

“I don't want to give hope to him, Ed.”

“You are cutting my words. Yes, gaquas!” Edelweis pinched both of Timmy's chubby cheeks. He couldn't bear to hear Timmy being able to guess what was on his mind constantly.

“Because what I like is not him. But you,” Edelweis immediately speechless to hear the courtesy of Timmy. He did not expect Timmy to be straightforward. It is very opposite of him who is more impressed to cover up something so that he still looks good in the eyes of others.

But Timmy, the girl will still bring out everything she thinks. Well it's something bad though. It makes Edelweis clumsy. Not squeaky at all. He sank into his own mind.

Timmy turned towards Edelweis. He realized the silence of the people next to him. He stepped forward and stopped Edelweis who was walking in daydreams. Now they face each other. Edelweis was a little surprised.

“Timmy! So shocked! Who do I think.?”

“According to Edelweiss, Timmy was like how?”

‘GLEK!’ Edelweis swallowed his saliva in a moment. Then he laughed awkwardly. He scratched his hair that did not itch.

“Sorry, Timmy. You are a good girl. But I can't..,”

“Why?” cut it. “Why can't Timmy? But Afika can?”

“Not so. I just want to be alone first. Don't want to date again. I want to breathe again after building a fragile bond earlier. I have to have self-confidence in a relationship again. Don't want to stumble like before. Timmy can understand my words, right?” Edelweis explained as he rubbed Timmy's head.

Timmy showed a smile on his innocent face.

“Timmy understands. Edelweis should also remember that Timmy's statement will remain the same until that day arrives.”

...***...

Edelweis felt odd in Timmy after they chatted that day. After that incident, Timmy was like avoiding Edelweis. As they met within 1 meter, Timmy turned his body and galloped away from him. As Edelweiss was about to meet him in class, Hami said that Timmy was not in the classroom. Though Edelweis clearly saw him curled up under the teacher's desk. Feeling that something was wrong, Edelweis tried to meet Timmy in the theater room. But when he saw Timmy laughing out loud while chatting with Steven, Edelweis chose to leave.

Miwon felt that something was wrong with her brother. At the break time, Miwon came to his brother who was sitting together with Mayang, Tara, and Wildam in front of the basketball court. He found his brother drowning in daydreams and did not respond to Wildam who was making jokes on his face. Miwon sat down next to her brother.

“There is a daydreaming,” he said while patting Edelweiss on the shoulder. Then Edelweiss awoke in his daydream. He was quite impressed by the presence of his sister. “Quiet, sis. It's Miwon. Not demons. Hahaha.”

“Eh, yes!” Edelweis stood up in surprise and sat down again. Then Edelweis looked silent again. Miwon realized her brother's gaze was straight ahead. Miwon tried to ascertain what her brother saw. She was convinced that her brother was not watching the students play basketball. The view of Edelweiss was like looking across the field there. He saw Afika and Hami chatting there.

‘HAH! Don't-don't brother still hasn't moved on from Afika?!’ Miwon tried to clear his bad premonition. ‘NO! It's all over!” He shook his head while patting both of his cheeks.

“Where's Timmy?” Miwon was a bit surprised to hear her brother's voice. Edelweis turned towards him.

“Oh! It turns out her brother is looking for Timmy anyway! I guess..,” Miwon laughs in relief. Edelweis scrunched his forehead.

“I guess? Meaning?”

Miwon became somewhat misbehaved.

“Oh! Timmy had another discussion with the theater boys. Keep eating meatballs in the canteen too!”

“Means now he's in the canteen?” Miwon was about to answer. But her brother stood up and left. Miwon felt something strange. Her brother never struggled in every act. The Edelweis he knew was someone who planned something as detailed as possible. Think before you act. But this time Edelweis decided something uncertain before listening to the answer. Edelweis is not that kind of person!

“I'm still not sure. But there must be something with brother and Timmy!” cetusya. He did not realize that his words were listened to by Mayang, Tara, and Wildam. Apparently already from that time the triad group realized the departure of Edelweis.

“What's with Ed and Timmy?” ask Mayang. Miwon instantly regained his senses. It became a mistake again.

...***...

Edelweis searched for Timmy's whereabouts amid a crowd of students in the cafeteria. But he did not find the little girl. I don't know why Edelweiss is sad. He came out of the canteen with a sour face. While passing through the rather dark hallway of the classroom, he found the figure of the girl. But he's not alone. He was with Kevin.

Seeing Timmy leaning against the wall and Kevin's hand hitting the wall until the two looked at each other, really made Edelweis rise in blood. He felt his blood boiling. Edelweis really didn't like to see it. He came at the two with anger. Then Edelweis pushed Kevin down and pulled Timmy's hand violently. Timmy was rather surprised to see the sudden presence of Edelweiss. He tried to take his hand off Edelweiss.

“Ed, pain!” Edelweis let go of his hand and turned in front of Timmy. He shook Timmy's shoulders with overflowing emotion.

“What's wrong with you?! Nah! What's wrong with us?! I'm trying to find you. To see you! But you ran away from me! Two weeks and five days we didn't meet! But it turns out what are you doing now??! Just get along with Steven! You said you liked me! But you're avoiding me! I miss you know!”

“What?” Timmy was somewhat flabbergasted to hear the words of the young man in front of him. His eyes widened almost to believe that Edelweis was in front of him and said everything in his mind. Edelweis who was originally a craze, was now silent. It was like he realized something strange. He turned his head and saw Steven standing together with the theater boys. They laugh amusedly. Edelweiss is back to see Timmy.

“Iya, Ed. I'm not the same Steven anymore. We're training again. But the theater kids sat watching us from the side.”

“But.. why should it be here?”

“This place is quiet. The students don't do a lot of stuff here. Suitable for training. But the hell time Ed didn't see the theater kids near us?”

“That's because my eyes only see you. Basic boncel!” Edelweis ruffled Timmy's hair in a fit of anxiety. ‘CIYEEE...,’ the students of the theater members tease the two while giggling. Kevin was heartbroken. Edelweis walked away from Timmy. Timmy was chasing him. Timmy hugged Edelweis' body from behind. “Hey, there will be teachers who see!”

“Timmy also misses Ed. But Timmy is self-conscious about having to give Ed time. Ed wanted to be alone first. So Timmy has to hold off on Timmy to meet you. Ed don't be mad at Timmy anymore. Timmy's statement remains valid, Ed. So Ed also had to give the same answer again Timmy until that day arrived,” Edelweis showed a smile before turning his body. ‘This child. Said to understand but it turns out pretentious and understand yes? Basic, make people anxious.’

“I want to be alone first does not mean everywhere always want to be alone or do not want to meet first with Timmy. But I wanted to be single in a time I don't know when. I don't want to date first. Not that I don't want Timmy as my girlfriend. I've even imagined it. Ever since I heard Timmy's statement, I've felt like I've seen that in the future you'll always be there for me and hold my hand. Like your sudden feeling coming was the same as what I was feeling. I want Timmy to understand that Timmy's on my schedule now. I want to do anything with you. Because now you are someone precious to me too.”

Timmy was trying to digest Edelweiss' words. But for a Timmy, understanding the words of others at length he will not understand. Edelweiss realized that. He saw the confusion on the girl's face.

“It looks like if you gini will understand!” Edelweis kissed Timmy's forehead for a short time until Timmy was unable to think anything more. Timmy put his hand forward.

“Wait a minute.wait a minute! That means Ed.” Timmy is trying to think again. Then he saw Edelweis who was blushing while looking in the other direction. “Kyaaa.. that day arrived! The day has arrived!!!!”

Timmy immediately rolled in Ed's arm and spoke aloud. Edelweis listened to him with a smile that he was now unable to let go of. Edelweiss realized that Timmy was someone valuable to him. Timmy became a stopover for his imprisoned heart. Tearing down the violence of his heart that has long been fenced in iron. The girl who taught him many things. Especially always open in expressing every inch in his heart.
