"Well, sorry, bro. We failed the streets."
Clouds, take his friend home, because they both did not go for a walk this afternoon.
"Ah, it's okay. But that was a terrible incident, Bro. I did not expect, could fight the same thugs earlier. Just as long ago. Haha..."
Now, the two of them were talking on the front porch of his friend Awan's house. He didn't come home right away, because he needed a little break.
"Let's have a drink first!"
The clouds nodded, as his friend went inside the house, to fetch some drinking water. Now, Clouds is examining multiple bruises on his arms and legs. He grimaced, as he touched the bruise that was on his arm. It seems, the bruise is a little severe, compared to the wounds and bruises in other places.
"How, is there a wound?" asked her friend, when she came out with a bottle of water for her.
"No way. Just bruising and a little pain" said Awan, hearing a question from his friend.
"Drink first. I'm looking for a cure for bruises first" said his friend, by putting a bottle of drinking water earlier. After that, he returned inside the house, to look for the medicines needed for Cloud's wounds as well as his own injuries.
The clouds examined his wounds again. Only then drank the water provided by his friend.
Shortly after, his friend came in with the drugs he was carrying.
"Here, can I help myself?" ask Awan's friend, while handing the medicine to Awan.
"here! can be me alone."
The clouds took the drug. After which, he applied the medicine on his wounds.
The clouds grimaced as the medicine hit his wound.
"How, can it be alone?" asked the friend of Awan, when he saw the cloud grimacing in pain.
The clouds just nodded. He still applied the medicine to some of the wounds on his leg.
"Now! Check your wounds too. If I can't, I'll help."
Cloud handed the medicine to his friend, because he saw a wound also on his friend's hand.
Friend Cloud grimaced awkwardly, as the two did not realize that he was also injured due to the fight earlier. But, because of Cloud's obvious injuries and there were many, the two so paid no attention to his own state.
When all was done, the clouds decided to go home. "Gue go home first. Go to sleep, let it not hurt."
"Sleep here Bro. No ads people at home. Only aunts are there," replied his friend, suggesting to sleep in his house first.
"So. I'll just go home. I was running around, and calling too. Mending at home, let oma also not worry. I'll go home, Bro!"
The clouds refused the offer from his place. He did not want to make his oma, Amel's mother, worried, nor did his father, the Eagle, because he was not at home. Even though she had said goodbye to the maid's aunt, who was at home.

The human heart, sometimes it changes. He was weak for a certain time. However, there are times when the heart will become hard.
For whatever reason, such is the heart of an ordinary man, who does not know what he wants in a life that also often changes.
There are times of happy hearts, but there are times for sadness as well. Because so is the feeling that exists in the journey of life.
Happiness is side by side with sadness. For indeed this life is side by side with all the flavors that exist. It cannot be one, because the twists and turns of life are complete, perfect with everything.
*****
A day later, in the city of Bogor.
In a public cemetery in Bogor.
A man who was crouching fervently prayed.
When he had just arrived, he was seen sowing flowers and watering over the cemetery. Only then did he pray.
After all was done, he took a deep breath while looking towards the sky. Throw away the guilt and tightness that suddenly comes to heart.
The regret he felt at the moment, there was no way he could repeat and refine. There was only good prayer and hope, all he could do this time. All has passed, and time has changed. No longer the same as before.
Such was the prayer he could offer, for the hope of the future. He could only apologize, for all the mistakes he had made, even though it was unknown to him and aware of himself.
Now, he could only regret it, without being able to make any improvements. He resigned himself to the time travel that controlled destiny.
The same for all humans. Because the time knows what's going to happen out there.
The man moved from his crouching position. He stood up and rubbed the gravestone before leaving. He stared pushyly at the tombstone.
"I'm sorry Eagle Well. The eagle never came here. The eagle is too busy with the Eagle's own life. The eagle pamphlet duku Yah."
Apparently, the man was an eagle. He went to the cemetery to take a trip to the tomb of Anjani's father, his former father-in-law, who died in an accident and was the cause of the accident.
He stepped away from the tomb, but before the fifth step, he passed a man who was holding a little girl, who was just growing up a teenager.
"The Eagle."
"Pig. Abhimanyu?"
They both mentioned each other's names, to reprimand, then shake hands and hug men in general, as adults. Forgetting each other's egos, which sometimes exist at certain times.
The eagle remembered the man who had just come. She is Abhimanyu, her husband Anjani, her ex-wife, whom she divorced, while she was sick and in the hospital.
Abhimanyu also remembered, who is the man who is currently in front of him. The man who became his wife's first husband. Ex-husband, more precisely. The son of his boss, Amel's mother, who was always kind to him and his family.
"Mas Eagle..."
"Yes, I came to my father's grave. Sorry, I just came to pray. It's been a long time since I've come here."
Abhimanyu did not continue his sentence, because it was cut by the Eagle.
Now, the Eagle looked towards the little girl who was beside Abhimanyu. "He's... She's Ara?" ask her then while remembering.
"Yes. He's Ara, our son."
Abhimanyu asserted the question from the Eagle. He asked Ara, to greet the Eagle.
"Fra. This is Om Eagle. You used to know, but at that time you were a child, and of course now forget. Come on salim dear!" abhimanyu said, asking his son, Ara, to shake hands with the Eagle.
"Big time, Ara. What class?"
The eagle smiled, as Ara shook her head and kissed her hand. He also asked Ara, about the general matter for the children.
"Sixth grade Om," replied Ara timidly.
$Wah, means the new school year has gone up to seventh grade huh? The diligent yes, hopefully Ara's ideals are achieved," said Elang pray for the success of Ara.
"Aamiin's."
"Aamiin's."
Ara and her father, Abhimanyu, both agreed to the hope and prayer that the Eagle said.
"Yes already. I go first Bi, Ara," said the Eagle to Abhimanyu and Ara.
"Yes, be careful." Abhimanyu nodded and also smiled.
Ara, just nodded her head, while paying attention to the man in front of her at the moment. He had a lot of questions he wanted to ask his father later, about the Eagle, whom he had just met.
After the Eagle walked away from where the two of them were, Ara immediately asked her father. "Well, who was that? how did you get to Grandpa's grave?"
"You're acquaintances, how do you ask?" abhimanyu answered, with a question for his son. He was confused, wanting to explain to his son, about the Eagle.
Abhimanyu confused himself, when he wanted to explain to Ara, about his relationship with his mother, Anjani, which was over.
But, if not explained, Ara would continue to wonder out of curiosity.
Finally, Abhimanyu said that, he would explain about the Eagle to Ara, later after the two of them had finished their nyekar, and pray to his grandfather's grave. Anjani's Dad.
