Little Monster
The goat!
A word or sentence that we might consider ordinary, for others could mean everything. Not infrequently, words that motivate, encourage, support, even other simple and small words can change a person's life. Even with painful words, can be embedded and a lifetime can not be forgotten.
Even though the person who says good or bad things has long forgotten it, but for the recipient, words and sentences are not easy to forget.
"If you survive and live, at least don't forget, God sent me here."
Mas Indra often woke up in the middle of the night, the faint sounds he heard in the cold and quiet nights a few years ago that often made him riled up.
Since the incident at the cafe with the 'strange girl', Mas Indra often visited the cafe, hoping to meet again with the woman who said 'goat', or at least, one of them.
But as if the universe did not approve, every time Mas Indra came to the cafe, the strange girl and other women were never seen his nose.
Feeling his patience is being tested, Mas Indra still diligently visited the cafe, every day.
In fact, if Mas Indra wants to release his ego a little and ask someone for help, it will be easier.
Everyone must need each other, but because they feel they can do anything on their own, often they can not solve the problems they are facing.
"Mother seems to be waiting for someone?" ask one of the cafe staff who brought drinks order Mas Indra.
"Emm, no, Mas" replied Mas Indra rather surprised by the sudden question.
"I'm sorry, sir, but you're here every day even until the cafe closes and it's like you're waiting for someone. I'm sorry if I'm presumptuous, maybe there's something we can help you with, sir?"
"No, thank you, Mas ...."
"Okay, sir, please drink."
"Thanks. Oh, emm ... Mum ...."
"Yes, Sir?"
"Actually I'm still looking, uh what are you waiting for, ah whatever it is, but a few days ago, there was a bunch of women over 5 people and, um, um, but I also do not know who they are, Mas," said Mas Indra who finally admitted that he was looking for someone.
"So you're waiting for someone you don't even know?" timpal staff of the cafe was astonished.
"Emm, yes that's it, Mas, hehe ..." Mas Indra smiled shyly.
"We'd be happy to help, but we also don't know who you're looking for ...."
"Jude, it's okay, Mom."
Feeling made fun of by the circumstances, Mas Indra snorted in annoyance and left the cafe after finishing his drink.
"Hello handsome, I want 'boba milk tea' two, 'yaki ricebowl' two, fried salmon skin two, eat here," said one woman who is one of the cafe's loyal customers. Even the staff and owners of the cafe knew him.
"A lot, Mommy, eat it yourself?" tease a staff in the cashier area.
"I want to eat alone, but I don't pay, hwaa. Eat both of my donk, your guts, single-looo!"
"It's not single by itself, ma'am?"
"Who is single?"
"Mak Sasa weekkk!"
"Heh, stop! stopit! I sent you santet onlen, know your taste."
"Ampon, Ma! joke me!"
"Jiahahahaa, 75% sugar, the rest is sweet."
"Ready, fine, Ma'am!"
The woman ate the food she had ordered with a man younger than her, if they were lovers, it seemed impossible, because even from a distance, they are like brothers.
After another year of searching for someone he doesn't even remember his face, Mas Indra begins to despair and intends to return again to his hometown.
"If you survive and live, at least don't forget, God sent me here."
The words that Mas Indra never forgot were, the girl claimed to be sent by God the night she was dying.
As someone who does not really believe in the existence of God, before deciding to return to his hometown, that night Mas Indra made a request, he said, want to be met with the girl who claimed to be sent by God to help him until finally he can still live until now.
*tang-ting-tung-ting-tang-ting-tung ....
"Hello, why, Jack?"
"Seriously you're going back, bro?" jack replied from the other end.
"Well over a year I've noticed him, but there is no result, maybe he's an angel that God sent me to please doang times," said Mas Indra who looks disappointed.
"Well, since when do you believe that stuff. Why don't you look in the medsos, bro?"
"If I know his name or his face is easy, this is what I want only his voice, especially when it is night and dark, which I want, I want, he's the type who can't stop talking and says 'goat' a few times'."
"I don't think you should stop here. Mate must meet, if you are not a match, yes will not meet, wkwkwk," joked Jack who even seemed to tease Mas Indra and make him more upset.
"Ahh, you, make me go all over."
______________
In a shopping mall, a woman is watching a couple who look very happy together, they join hands, the man chooses the most beautiful flowers and gives to his partner.
"Gue's moved on, I don't care about them. But why do I want to keep doing it? Goat, you, Randy! cheated five times, caught again. Very bummer!" muttered the woman saw her ex-boyfriend being alone with his new partner.
"Sasa, what are you doing here?" randy asks who accidentally saw his ex-girlfriend at a glance behind the store bulkhead.
"Em, a, u, aaa, me, em, I ..." she replied confusedly.
"You don't want me anymore, do you?" look at Randy suspiciously.
"Now, why too? I don't think there's any other work to follow you all."
"Jude."
The couple left the woman alone. Infuriated and furious, the woman hurriedly walked to the mall toilet and,
*Bwmmmmb!!! the woman bumped into a man, and as usual, she blamed others even though she was wrong.
"Goat! what the hell is blocking my way?!"
"It's a guy's toilet, why are you going in?"
"Oops, sorry."
Resisting her embarrassment, the woman walked towards the toilet at the other door.
In a state of unfocused indeed many people can be dazed or do not know the direction, can not even distinguish between male and female toilets.
Mas Indra was also at the mall with Jack and two other female friends to watch a movie in the cinema.
Trying to find the girl who helped him, Mas Indra did get acquainted with many women hoping that one of them was the girl.
Most of the women close to Mas Indra hoped for more even though he never had serious intentions, making him like a playboy.
Before entering the cinema, Mas Indra's mobile phone rang and he was forced to cancel the watch because there were things he had to finish right now.
Mas Indra pressed the elevator button, inside the elevator there were many people and one of them was a woman who seemed to have been seen by him.
Surprised and in disbelief at the situation, Mas Indra confidently stepped closer to the woman, though hesitant, he began to open his voice.
"Do I know you? (Do I know you)?" tanya Mas Indra was hopeful.
"No! (No)!" answer the woman.
"I'm sure we've met, try to remember, that night .." said Mas Indra still trying to convince.
"What the hell? It's unclear!"
The elevator doors opened and the woman passed.
Not wanting to lose this golden opportunity, Mas Indra chased after the woman in the elevator earlier.
The woman walked very quickly, Mas Indra almost missed the turn that the girl had gone through. Near the exit of the Mall building, the woman stopped. Mas Indra quickened his pace and immediately approached the judes girl.
"Sasa, are you still here? same who?" ask the couple who previously bought flowers, meet again with the woman.
"Em, a, u, me, emm, same ...."
"Your new boyfriend, Sa?" ask Randy.
"Yes, I know you, I'm Indra. Nice to meet you." Mas Indra replied lying. At that time the mouth of the woman named Sasa was wide open like he could not believe what he heard and was happening in front of him let alone hear someone claiming to be his girlfriend.
"Um, I'm Randy, Sasa's friend."
"Ohh, people? Yaudah, we go home first well," said Mas Indra who then took the hand of the woman named Sasa out of the Mal building.
Arriving outside Mal's lobby, Sasa looks quite upset, it seems like she wants to swallow Mas Indra alive right then and there.
"Goat! What the hell are you my boyfriend all?! Not released?!" exclaimed Sasa with an irritated tone.
"Goat'? what did you say? try saying it again?"
"Jeez, Kambinggg!!!"
"Well, this must have been you, you back then, you remember? that night in that dark alley?"
"What's up, not clear."
"I'm Indra, you remember me right? did you help me at that time?"
"Haisshu. Wrong people. But btw, thanks for letting me know."
An online ojek came and asked who Sasa was, then the woman named Sasa was riding a motorbike and went away.
Mas Indra who still could not believe what had happened just now, immediately stopped the taxi in front of the Mal lobby. He sat in the front seat and asked the taxi driver to chase after the motorbike carrying Sasa earlier.

*Flash Back a few years ago after coming home from the hospital*
"Sir, stop at that brown house well, please tell Mom I was honest well, sir, you picked me up in front of the hospital, okay?"
"Yes, Neng, rebes."
Before entering the house, a man and two women came out and hugged the girl
"Sasa, aren't you papa, son?"
"Mother, I'm sorry, huhuhu."
"What did you say too? don't wander, girls aren't at home!"
"Sir Vera, that's pay for his ojek father, huhuhu."
"Where did my sister get you from, sir?" ask a man to the taxi man.
"From the nearest hospital here, Mas, which is near the big highway," replied the friendly taxi driver.
"Thank you, sir, for delivering my sister."
"Just like, thank you too."
Everyone at home is worried about Sasa's situation because there is one of the residents who saw a robbery where someone was beaten by some thugs in an alley, while Fani, who is a, sasa's friend told Kak Vera if Sasa went home alone and likely passed the 'rat road' where the narrow alley was not far from the road that would be passed by Sasa.
Sasa's cellphones and belongings are with Fani so Sasa really can't be contacted.
The next morning, residents around the scene with a lot of blood spots around the landfill post and at the same time 'rat road' through Sasa.
Sasa's family was very worried because they could not find Sasa everywhere.
Sasa then told me everything, from the first time he tripped and fell to helping take the injured person to the hospital.
Rey's sister, Vera, and her mother asked Sasa to testify truthfully if there were police or anyone who asked about the incident that night, but passed two days, three days or even a week, he said, no one was looking for Sasa nor asking him about that night.
So, as time went on, the incident was forgotten by itself.
Especially when it was for medical purposes, Mas Indra was brought home by his family to his hometown.
_________________
Knowing who Sasa was, where he lived after following him to Sasa's home and profile, Mas Indra began to aggressively approach the woman named Anisa, even though Sasa was a woman who was judes, baubles, and fierce, Mas Indra remained patiently approaching him.
Gradually, Mas Indra's search intent on the helper girl to be optimistic, changed into something more.
Sasa is not a woman who is easy to approach, especially at that time he was hated by many men, especially his ex-girlfriend, Randy, who had affairs with many women while they were still together.
It became a challenge for Mas Indra because he had never met a woman like Sasa before.
At that time Mas Indra also began to believe in the existence of God starting from the moment he made a request to be found with the girl who had helped him.
Believing that God is the Supreme Being, Mas Indra began to study and study religion to someone who is an expert in his field.
And this time, the prayer that Mas Indra always say is that God will match him with Anisa, or commonly called Sasa.

🎶I haven't been lucky
To drop your heart
I'm still not lucky
But my hopes are high 'to live alone with you
I'm perfect with you
'I want to spend the rest of my life
Lord, make him my soul mate
Only he has fascinated me
I really am dreaming
To hold your heart
I still keep dreaming
It's very much my hope to live alone with you
I'm perfect with you
'I want to spend the rest of my life
Lord, make him my soul mate
Only he has fascinated me
Oh...
With you I am perfect
With you, I want to spend the rest of my life
Lord, make him my soul mate
Only he makes
With you I am perfect
With you, I want to spend the rest of my life
Lord, make him my soul mate
Only he makes
Only he has fascinated me
Oh...🎶
