It seemed, Xavier knew who the petite body figure belonged to. But, there was a doubt in his heart to get close and just ask what had happened. He didn't want any more trouble, didn't want the girl to expect more of him, and didn't want Alea to get hurt from getting too close to the girl.
"Uncle Xavier why?" bella's voice did not manage to disperse Xavier's daydream, even the crowd around her was unable to make him disturbed. He hesitates to approach Audie, but he is also afraid of something happening. The girl continued to search all directions like she was lost in the forest.
Bella followed where her Uncle's eyes were, until she found a girl who was so familiar to her with a radius not far from them. "Sir Audie?!" mumbling Bella.
As for Audie, he did not find where Jack's nose shaft went. The guy disappeared suddenly, leaving her alone. Audie had thought this on purpose, but, could Jack be that evil?
The crowds at the festival were countless, but Audie seemed to be alone, as there was no one she knew. Audie's feet stepped back. He doesn't like thugs, punks and the like. Now, however, the thug there managed to make both his legs tremble. The memories of the past make him afraid. The second most dreadful day after the day where he and Irfan almost closed their eyes for good.
The thug approached, but at once Audie's feet felt like they were paralyzed. Even his tongue felt dull. It's hard to move when things scare you. This was not what he wanted, but the body just reacted.
"Where are you going, neng?"
Audie hated the hoarse voice that had just swept her eardrums.
"Alone, definitely single. Beautiful single, mending same brother. Wouldn't you?" The five thugs smiled mischievously. Their dull faces in the thin black beard frame.
"Come on, same brother!"
One other thing Audie hated when she was touched with her tattooed hand. It's a nightmare, a nightmare that makes Audie want to wake up soon. Plus the smell of alcohol penetrates Audie's nose.
Audie stepped back, the five thugs were getting closer. Not even reluctant they poke the hand of Audie, the shoulder of Audie, and also want to embrace the hip Audie. The girl cried in silence, had pooled water in her eyes, even to shout she was unable. Their steps were getting forward, very close to Audie, even he could feel their breaths all hunting within a radius of a few more centimeters.
The laughter of the thugs was on the air. Audie closed her pair of eyes tightly until there was no gap to see. Back to the memories that were then. Audie hates that. Audie took a deep breath. This time he wanted revenge. Although Audie knew he would lose because he himself, while the thugs in front of him numbered five people. But, for what harm try. Audie knows he can, he wants revenge. And Audie knows, the core of male weakness.
Piercing in the nose, tongue and ears of the five thugs came swinging along as they laughed. How funny it was when they saw Audie's eyes open wide as if threatening to keep them away. They are not afraid, it looks like a bunch of hunts. Audie hates being laughed at. Seeing their mouths gaping wide, he wanted to teach a lesson immediately.
On his left foot swing, breathing deeply, Audie's hands clenched, he shouted loudly along with a kick about ***********one of the thugs.
Feeling unsatisfied enough, he did the same to the five thugs. So that the laughter that had been jarring was replaced with ringis in pain. Three of them lay on the ground, the rest still standing but out of balance. Holding their precious objects located below the navel.
Audie satisfied? No, the girl is not satisfied. He walked riled, three thugs who were sprawled earlier in his stampede using heels that were quite pointed. Audie jumped up and down like he was killing a cockroach. Stamped on it until it was destroyed. The hair of the head of the thug is strong. Both corners of the thug's eyes had runny, his scalp felt like it was burning.
"DEAD YOU BAJ*NGAN, DEAD ...." Audie screaming.
His gaze was distorted when one of his prey was no longer helpless. The lyrics of the next victim, when the face of the thug was sour, he shook his hands as if he wanted to say "no". He said for mercy, even the pain in his precious objects had not disappeared, it felt like dying, but Audie was already angry.
"YOU ... SIYATTT... DIE YOU, FEEL THIS ... FEEL MAN ****** ...." Audie did not feel tired, he again stepped on the next prey like stepping on rice. Audie screamed, it was so good to have revenge on the man who almost took away his chastity. Although they were not the ones, still, they were the herd of thugs.
Sweat pouring, all his prey has fallen, Audie ruffled his waist while breathing the air greedily, he was proud of himself. I don't know what strength comes up to Audie so he is able to defeat all the iron-muscle thugs. Audie's happy to beat them up. He was happy to have injured those tattooed humans. But suddenly, the corner of his eyes watered without him asking. When he could no longer bear it, he finally shed his tears.
"Isn't that Brother Audie yeah, Uncle?" Bella tugged at the end of Xavier's shirt, until the man realized.
Bella runs to meet Audie, leaving Xavier alone there.
"Bella ... Where are you, wait uncle. Watch out for falls, Bella!" The scream did not stop the little girl.
Xavier chases, but he still can't believe what he just witnessed. Audie beat those five thugs? Xavier must have been looking at it wrong. Several times Xavier closed his eyes when he remembered Audie's kick about the prized possessions of the thugs. It must have hurt a lot. Xavier could not have imagined, if it was the one who got the terrible kick. Audie is not weak, she is just disturbed by her past, the past that makes her afraid of something. Xavier also did not believe, the figure of the little girl was not as he had expected. Small, weak and spoiled.
"SISTER AUDIE...???" bella's call didn't make Audie stop shedding tears. His tears broke in the crowd, but no one cared as if they were deaf, they were busy enjoying the festival which was only present once a year.
Bella approached Audie, hugged her, then stroked Audie's back. Bella is like a mother, but she is just a four-year-old child. "Sir Audie don't cry, Bella's here!"
Bella watched the thugs. Slowly they got up, with an unbalanced path they fled the place while grimacing in pain. Of course, both of their hands were still faithfully holding onto their precious treasures.
Audie's cry became, for some reason, she wanted to cry just like that. The girl's chest went up and down as she pleased. Snots and tears had mixed into one, even he had accidentally eaten a few strands of his long hair.
"Cup, cup, cup ... Brother Audie! Don't cry anymore, the goons are gone. Here, Bella hugs." The little girl's hands were coiled around Audie's waist, the top of her head just parallel to Audie's chest.
Xavier approached, linking his eyebrows together, wondering why Audie was crying after he beat the thugs. Though, nothing happened with Audie, she wasn't hurt, and she looked fine.
"Ehem. .." No word, Xavier cleared his throat a few times but Audie continued to enjoy his cries. The sobs sounded heartbreaking, like the cries of a child who lost his mother. Xavier's eyes were sad, his heart moved to get closer to Audie who was still in Bella's arms. There was a sense of pity when he heard the pill sobbing.
"A-Audie ..." call Xavier in doubt.
Bella looked up, but her hands were still coiled around Audie's waist. "Uncle, Audie's sister is still crying. How's this, Uncle?" whine Bella. The little girl could not find a woman crying. The reason, because he often saw his mother crying because of his father. For this reason, he did not want to let a woman cry like her mother.
Xavier hesitated. The radius between himself and Audie is only a few centimeters. Xavier raised his right hand slowly. For a few seconds he looked around him, making sure no one saw what he wanted to do.
Slowly, the hand landed on top of Audie's head, stroking her gently despite a slight hesitation, wiping her until the girl fell silent. Xavier likes! Xavier loves Audie's long hair. He wants to stay that way. However no, he had to stop her immediately when he found Audie's face snorting, his moist eyes staring at Xavier confused by the faint frown on his forehead. His face looks plain. His heart drips slowly along with the girl's tears. Xavier almost blew a laugh when he saw the face of Audie which was no different from a clown. His nose was red, his two plump cheeks were also red. Not to mention his snot that did not stop out forming the number eleven.
"Sir Xavier?" Audie immediately wiped her tears, she pulled the neck of her front shirt to clean her snot.
"Bella?" the girl turns out to be unaware of the presence of Xavier and also his nephew. He was too absorbed in his tears when he quarreled with the past. The past scared him of the thugs.
Xavier immediately pulled back his hand. His view shifted everywhere from not to Audie. An awkward feeling began to envelop. Even he was a little embarrassed for stroking Audie's hair without excuse. But if he doesn't, Audie won't stop crying and continue to chat with her past.
Bella let go of her embrace, now she clasped Audie's hand, afraid that she might cry again. "Sister Audie isn't papa? Audie's sister's fine, isn't she?"
Audie looked down, she smiled, but there was still a trace of tears there. "No papa, Bel."
Audie attentions are now switched to Xavier. The caress was ... still imprinted and he could not forget. Just this time he felt how soft and warm Xavier's hand was. He wanted to be like that, but he realized who he was. Audie was convinced, Xavier did it because the man already thought of him as his own sister. Yes, just a little sister. Not more. Just a brother, not someone special.
***
The snacks at this festival are very tempting. Audie and Bella wanted to buy everything, but they both realized that their small stomachs could not possibly hold that much food.
They are currently exploring the festival. Although Xavier initially refuses Audie to come with them before Audie finds out where Jack is, but in the end he must be forced to agree because Bella does not stop rebelling for Audie to come with them.
"Sir Audie, Sister Audie, why are you crying? 'And the goons have gone, did Kak Audie just flanked them?" ask Bella kepo. Currently they were sitting casually under a shady tree enjoying the snacks they had bought.
Audie lowered her head, she hesitated to tell, she was also embarrassed, embarrassed if Xavier heard the reason. "That, because .. because ..."
"For what, brother?" Bella was impatient to wait for Audie's answer.
"Because of the past," Audie still lowered her head.
"...when sister as small as Bella, brother was once blocked on the road when sister was about to go home. At that time, my sister had just come home to play with my friends. The person who confronted the older brother was a thug, the older brother did not like it when they laughed with a bottle of drink in their hands. Brother doesn't like their scent either, brother hates it when they touch brother." Audie smiled wryly as she remembered it.
"At that time .. brother was a child, brother could not rebel when they brought brother to a warehouse that was so dirty and filled with disgusting insects. Brother hated that day, brother cried, but they all laughed instead. Had brother brother been late on that day to save brother, brother already had no idea what was happening. Maybe you're not a holy girl anymore." The tears escaped again. Although Audie had held him back, looking up at the sky, it still could not.
Xavier listened carefully. He did look pretend indifferent, staring at the screen of his phone while eating snacks they had bought. In fact, his ears were wide open listening to every sentence of Audie's curses. He knew now, the reason why Audie was that weak. Her cry was not from the crybaby, but because her heart was indeed being hurt.
Both of Bella's hands were back in a circle at Audie's waist. Bella hugs the girl, she loves her like a big sister. Then his little hand wiped both of Audie's cheeks carefully.
"Sir Audie don't be sad anymore. What if we ride a bianglala? Bella wants to ride the ring, but Uncle Xavier won't."
Audie's gaze now turned to Xavier, The man looked at his nephew with a menacing look. "Why?" ask Audie.
As Xavier approached Bella, he did not hesitate to pinch the small arm of his nephew, as if hinting to keep her quiet. But, it seems Xavier forgot, his nephew is still very small, he is still innocent, and Bella will not understand.
"Said Uncle Xavier, he didn't want to ride the wheel for fear of heights. Shameful really Kak Audie, the time of people as big as Uncle is afraid of the same height. Bella is brave," said the girl proudly as she patted her chest softly.
"Bella! Who said uncle was afraid?" threatening Xavier, it turns out like this it feels humiliated by his own nephew.
"Make Uncle Bel-say" Xavier immediately silences Bella's little mouth before the girl finishes her speech. Bella rebels and asks to be released.
"Uncle is not afraid of heights. Now come on, Uncle is taking the ring, uncle will prove that Uncle is not that good. Cih. .. where might a guy like Uncle be afraid of heights." Xavier.
Audie gave a smile, funny as she saw Xavier's face so serious.
"okay!" Bella answered Xavier.
Bella stood up, she reached out her little hand and was welcomed by Audie. The three also passed to the bianglala vehicle. Bella's hand really can't let go of Audie's hand, she just kept holding it, Audie was like a big brother to her.
And here they are, booking tickets. Even before Xavier climbed it, the legs of the level were already trembling in fear. He is no more, is not every human being his shortcomings and weaknesses? And this is the weakness of the man who is close to the word perfect.
Xavier's head looked up, the round of the rover made him cringe and nauseous. He looked up, how high the ring was. Xavier trembled, his eyes tightly closed as he hugged his own body. And Audie .. saw the funny incident.
After getting a ticket ticket, time to ride the bianglala. Xavier sits alone opposite Bella, while Bella sits next to Audie. Xavier's eyes were tightly closed even before the flames turned. Just hearing the engine sound alone Xavier's heart almost jumped from his body.
Xavier does not stop doing do'a, while Audie and Bella scream. It's exciting for them. The eyes of Audie sparkle when the heat is increasing carrying their bodies higher. The view of the flickering lights of the festival looks very beautiful, Surabaya city lights are also no less amazing.
"Wuahhh ..." Audie and Bella said with a gaping mouth perfectly, without them realizing the creature named Xavier had shivered in fear.
Audie turned her gaze forward, she wanted to laugh but she could stand it. It was funny to see Xavier's face with such an expression, his mouth was also talking about reading something.
Audie quietly took her phone, opened the camera app and prepared to take a photo. As Xavier's eyes closed, a single shot was finally captured. Bella who noticed it giggled, the two girls saw the results and glared happily.
"Sana Kak Audie, near Uncle Xavier, let Bella take the photo!"
"Well?!" Audie.
"Sana Kak ..." Force Bella, finally Audie according to. Made pose alay, he stuck his tongue facing Xavier's face with widened eyes as if he was mocking. Bella took a photo. Satisfied after pranking his uncle.
After Audie again sat down sweetly next to Bella, the two girls did not stop laughing making Xavier slowly open his eyes while hugging his own body with both hands.
Xavier's eyes squinted as he watched his protege and nephew rise from their seats. It's suspicious! Audie and Bella stomp their feet making her symptoms wiggle.
"WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?" snapped Xavier with a frightened look that did not want to fade from his face.
Audie and Bella instantly fell silent, their eyes met, then smiled cunningly. Back as they moved there and there, Xavier cried out hysterically, but the two girls did not want to stop. It was so exciting to make a man as cold as Xavier feel frightened.
"ALLAHU AKBAR ...."
"ALLOHU AKBAR ...."
"AUDIO ... BELLA ... WE CAN DIE PLUNGING DOWN ...." Face Xavier ... Audie likes to see that look on the face.
...🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️...
