I Choose You!
#127 Promise, Guilt, and Decision
I ran so fast. Fortunately, Rasyi was brought inside. The wound, it's a different story. Hopefully a minor injury.
The building, it's visible! The room I borrowed during my stay here. Quick, in!
“Rasyi!”
Rasyi sat on the bed. Looks like I've changed clothes. Wet was still her hair, but there was no sign of cold. The river should be warm at this hour.
But wounds?
I'm walking close to there. Make sure his feet are not papa. It looks like the wound is in the upper arm. Same slight swelling on Rasyi's left forehead.
“Please P3K box,” should treat first.
Firna love box, “Already brother.”
“Thank you,” I saw his friend Rasyi, “Rasyi tonight sleep here. Please yes, move in his stuff.”
Try me to treat his shoulder first. Just wearing ointment should be enough.
“Why can it fall?”
Must know. Rasyi and his classmates have been hard here. Just make camp. They managed to convince Uncle Rizki so that Rasyi could come along.
If uncle finds out that Rasyi fell this blue. Uncle must be furious.
“Rasyi... want to swim..”.
“Rasyi, sister have heard from your friends who see.”
He can't lie anymore, right? “Mmmm... accidentally too backward⏤but Aaron had caught Rasyi really. So my head is not bumped,”
Don't know what she's covering up, but I don't want her to be too tight either. Today is his holiday.
“Auw,” Rasyi must have hurt.
Should be more slowly, “Makanya, seen if the road.”
“Kak Fares don't get mad~ Rasyi apologise yes?”
Getting angry? It feels angry. To myself.
Rasyi has never been allowed out since he met his grandfather. That's not all. He dared not go outside the house. Now Rasyi has an outgoing desire.
I want Rasyi to do whatever he wants. But not to the point of getting sick like gini.
All wrong.
Jacket remove. Love to Rasyi. Make sure Rasyi is really not cold.
“Kok can fall into the shallow river from such a high place. Good thing Aaron caught you immediately before the bump,” fortunately his injuries do not need special care, “There are more sick?”
“No,” she held-hold her own hand, “Oh, Aaron how?”
Firna already back with Rasyi's bag, “Worry yourself first dong. Aaron's wounds aren't as bad as yours, you know?”
“Rest first,” I make sure the jacket does not come off, “If you have dinner, then brother bring it here.”
Looks like there's a phone. From whom?
Huuuh. There is no point in hiding it.
Just pick up first, “Halo, uncle?”
...)( )( )( )( )( )( )( )( )( )( )(...
Uncle got in his car again.
“Fares, please, keep an eye on Rasyi again,” of course uncle is still angry.
“Iya, uncle,” nothing can be answered again.
Rasyi kiss her papa, “Love you papa~ Dadah~!”
“Awas ya.”
“Iya..,” Rasyi still try to smile, “Dadah~”
Uncle can be discussed. So he's gone now. Busy doctors have to be on standby.
But indeed, his son did not want to lose to be free. Until Aunt Ira has to stay one night here let uncle believe.
Rashi hugs aunt Ira, “Still, aunt~”
“Iya~”
The important thing is that Rasyi can be happy.
Rasyi wants to say something, “Sorry yes brother, sister got angry.”
Him, feeling guilty? Why should? My sister's job is like this. I'm not upset at all.
Smile enough, right? “Already there, take aunty around.”
“Iya~” she went tug her aunt.
It's hard to face Uncle Rizki. But everything is worth it if Rasyi can feel free. So brother, would be happy if his sister is happy.
Well, where am I going now?
“Kak Fares...”.
The one behind me, oh, Aaron.
“Why, Aaron? How are you injured?”
She's beside me now, “Sickness.”
Smile me. His behavior is always changing. He became soft when there was Rasyi. In front of me, he always tried to make me look strong.
Aaron, again not happy.
His face was very lethargic. This has something to do with why he was both the same Rasyi fell into the river. Look around, there's no other reason.
“You're coming with brother? Brother is going to the park. Many seats continue we can see from the top of the labyrinth,” if not the wrong direction to there, “Harun if you want to tell a story, you hear kok.”
Mending me go first, “Terus why not join Rasyi streets?”
If you are silent, it means that he really has to deal with it.
“It... i.. I want to shoot Rasyi.”.
I'm stopping. That's totally unexpected.
Feels weird.
“But Rasyi instead..”.
So like this at last.
Everyone knows that Rasyi likes Aaron. Aaron seems to be like that too. Both of these sisters are happy.
There's no reason to feel weird.
“Rasyi only surprised the most. Next time try more... how about yes... romantic?”
His eyes Should be like unsure, “Example?”
Aa? “Love flowers?”
“So never lakin?
Whahuh?
“So I managed to have a girlfriend using that way?”
I was speechless, surprised by the answer, “That's also because my sister doesn't want to date.”
He's not happy, is he? Excuse me. I can't help you more about something like this. Hopefully Aaron can make his own way.
It's time to change the topic, “Jurit night so yes?”
“I'm not coming.”
“Why?”
“Sister, no papa will I gather with sister aja.”
Smile again. But a little sad, “Don't. Fun same event classmate,” elus head him.
“I don't want to see that Potato Corn.”
“Hey, the polite.”
But I don't want to arrange him either. In the end Aaron and I spent some time just sitting down. Sometimes he chooses to learn to follow me. We also moved places.
We are often like this. So nothing feels weird.
Until there's news. Rasyi, aunt Ira and Jagad⏤ did not return after an hour of nightfall.
.
.
.
It doesn't feel too real.
Ruckus everywhere. Emotions everywhere.
I still can't believe I broke my uncle's trust a second time today.
Calm.
Must calm.
Teachers who have agreed to accompany have acted first. They've reported to the camping area guards. There is a team looking for. My uncle and father were contacted.
All I have to do is wait.
I have to think about what needs to be said for uncle⏤
“God! Fares, darling!” mom wants to cry.
My uncle hit me hard.
“I've trusted you!! You are capable! What does this mean!!” uncle is really angry.
My mouth was silent, unable to speak.
“Rizki relax first!” I've been strong for my uncle's nahan.
This is all I can say, “Sorry uncle, this is my fault.”
“It's my fault. I thought you only had guilt. But you have any other intentions? No business at all my son?! The sister? Brother what⏤”
“I'm not Rasyi's sister! Whatever I do, uncle will only think that I'm looking for face! So why?!” I'm angry too....
All this time, everything was just for an appointment with Riza's sister. What I did, it looked excessive. Uncle believes I did all of that because I feel guilty.
Especially because of the night on the rides.
It's not about guilt anymore. But it's about why I feel guilty.
“I promised Riza to take care of Rasyi. And I decide whether to keep it or not. It was not uncle.”'s decision
Bizarrely. It feels weird.
But that's what's on my mind.
“I know uncle also need other subject. I'll be forced to be that subject if I need to.”
Uncle is calm but still yelling, “Unfortunately, will not happen as long as I do not like the subject option.”
I'd rather go than fuss. Rasyi is still out there. Terrified. I need to meet up quickly.
“Fares where to go, baby,” mom hands off.
“Sorry, uncle, this is indeed my fault,” I am still on my way, “If you do not accept me. I can find my own way. Excuse um. I have to find my sister now.”
