HELGA ANABELLE SERIES: Soul

SCENE 5: Getting Lost

      Although I have tasted riding buses, metromini, and other angkot friends, it turns out I still like stray as well. As long as there's a Block M bus, I'm riding.

Eh no doubt it was the destination bus Tanjung Priok. Likewise when seeing the metromini Blok M-Kampung Melayu. I'm from jump. Turns out the metromininya to Kampung Melayu. Keep doing it until it's late at night.

   Finally, around ten o'clock in the evening, the hour where the ghosts had started to sway, I was already sitting high-handed due to the soy sauce in the Tangerang terminal. Three simple-looking thugs approached me.

   "Girl, all alone, right?" Ask one of them accompanied by the laughter of his two friends.

   "You want us to hang out, don't you?"

   "Don't be shy!"

   Idih, who is shy? There's me eneg times. I looked at the three thugs with a lazy look. Again sleepy, so there is no intention to give birth. But if not taught, they will certainly continue to disturb me. How's dong?

What are they punished for? Want to teach an Ipa lesson? THE IPS? THE MTK? In English? Or art? Jokey. Masa' want to teach thugs the same as ngajar schoolgirl. Yes, it has to be different. Masa.

   I reached into my skirt pocket and took out all the money I had. Then hand it to them. "That's all the money I've got. Takeit. But don't bother me anymore." Or you'll regret it later. I said as I left.

   That night I went home to the nursing home. No more angkot operating. Actually there is one, two. But it's not headed to Block M. The time of omprengan sampe in front of my house, home page rame once. There was a police car, there was an ambulance, and a group of people gathering. As soon as I came, everyone was in a fuss. Shouted together, "IT'S NON HELGA!!!"

   Bik Leha, the cook at my house directly hit me, hysterical. "Non Helga! You're alive, non! Thank goodness! Thank goodness! We should have a party. Cut one cow! Thanksgiving party!"

   I bengong.

   Turn Bik Yati, the head of my house's advanced Art. His face is so tight.

   "You don't know, what time is it? Everyone nyariin non Helga."

   "I'm sorry, I don't have a clock" I said, then walked to the house.

   Buk Yati still nagging. "Call, non! Masa' go home from school go somewhere to not have time to call? Non Helga outrageous! I've called the police, called an ambulance, mengerahin siskamling. Everything, free!"

   "Then what does aunt want? Want me to stay the name doang? Is that?" My comment is upset.

   "It's not so, non. But non Helga said cake, said...."

   In the room, I was shocked by the figure of sister Priatna standing inside my room while looking at the clock. My brother's look was originally handsome suddenly horror when he glanced at me. Huaaaa, Mama! You could die in my place! How come Priatna could suddenly be in my room anyway?

   "Where are you, huh? Go home from school instead of going straight home and even crawling! Don't you sleep on the streets?" Said brother Priat. Chilly. This is what I fear from Priat. Hiks, how could you say that to me.

   "Ma, sorry, sis!" That's all I can say now. And it seems like my apology is of no use. Because Priat was angry. Naturally, because I'm Priat's only brother. Chick anyway. That's why my sister was so worried about me.

   "You're a girl, Helga. Brother doesn't know what reason made you come home this late. But you obviously don't want to until something bad happens to you!"

   I bow my head. Despite being angry, my brother still showed me his affection.

   "Now you change clothes, keep brushing your teeth and washing your face. Then sleep!" The order of Priat I follow immediately.

   The next day, I just woke up when school hours showed at half-seven. Whoa, crazy! I could be late for school. Where I'm still sleepy, again. With great force, I immediately walked to the bathroom and took a shower. Then change the school uniform.

   I remember one thing that made me curious and confused why my sister was still relaxing at home. Didn't he go to the office, huh?

   Since Mama and Dad went to America two months ago, he was forced to take leave from the hospital where he worked because he had to supervise the company Dad in Indonesia.

   "Lho, Brother Priat didn't go to the office?" Askaqua.

   Priatna put down the newspaper she was reading and looked at me who was neatly ready to go to school. Just for a moment, then continued his activities reading the newspaper.

   "Sister didn't go to the office today, so you can go to school with Mang Ujang, right?" Ask the brother who made me nod. After that I said goodbye and went out of the house.

   At first Mang Ujang was surprised to see me who was neat this way ready to go to school. But when he remembered something, he immediately delivered me.

   Arriving at school, I found the school completely deserted. I was the only one who came to school. Strange, when did I miss the school notice, huh? I never heard that my school is on holiday. But suddenly I remembered something. It's Sunday, guys! That's why no one came to school except me. Really stupid! It's worth it Mang Ujang was astonished because I was neat and asked to be held back home.

   I can understand why Mang Ujang did not remind me that it was Sunday. But if Priat's brother, I'm sure that my brother is giving me another lesson. Uggh, it's a waste that I wake up early and come to school like this. Watch out later, Kak Priat's actions I will reply! It was as if he was letting me go to school without any intention of stopping me!

   "Where? Good school alone?" Ask Kak Priat when I return home.

   I didn't answer. Just staring at Priat with a lazy look plus annoyed. Ah, I went to my room, changed my clothes, and resumed my sleep. Ignore Priatna Eka Sanjaya's. Not to retaliate against the actions of brother Priat. I was wrong with ntar.
