LOVE IS A WOUND

Chapters 13. Meet Again

"I think the rain has stopped" said Alfisa."We're home, yuk!"

"I think I'm going to go home, Al.In my condition if I'm pressed by Aunt Ayu or Jojo, I'm afraid I'll explode!"

"Oooohhh.git!But it's not good if you stay here.It's already night, you know!"

"Yes too, uh!"

"What if you go to my hostel!"

"May too, sih!But what's ngerepotin, Al?"

"No, lah!We are friends!"

"OK then!".I smiled broadly.

Alfisa pulled my hand so that I immediately stood up.The pink hood she wore was swinging in the wind.Paras ayunya more dazzling because of the moonlight.

That night was very cold.It looks like it will rain.Alfisa pulled my hand running around to the boarding place Alfisa.

Alfisa's boarding is located deep in the alley.We have to pass through the gray gate.Then we have to walk for about five hundred meters.After meeting with the green musholla, the,we went into a smaller alley.Thus we arrived at a green tosca boarding house.

Alfisa lives with her father, mother, and her autistic sister.His father decides to stop working to take care of her sister. While his mother worked at a private campus.Entah as what.

"Your mother hasn't come home yet, Al?", I said as soon as I entered her deserted boarding room.

"Yet, my mom didn't come home.She's gone already two days.Maybe tomorrow she's home".

"Where, Al?How long was he going to be home?"

"To the top.There are events on the campus"

"Ohh..Where's your brother and father?"

"There, tuh.Again sleep in the room.Don't worry, you'll sleep with me in my room"

So Alfisa's boarding house is shaped like an apartment.There is a guest's money, kitchen, and two bedrooms.

"Yeah.Now take a shower gih, sana!", command."Your body smells asem!"

I held my front shirt and kissed it."Hehe..Yes too.You are asem!"

"Yes, take a shower!" said Alfisa, holding out a towel to me.

After taking a bath, Alfisa's father invited us to eat with Andrew, Alfisa's sister.I see Andrew just like other children.Not much different.Bedanya only when talking, by the way,Andrew did not speak like other children.That out of his mouth words an uh, like uyuyu,gu, kucukkucuk.

"Let's sit down!", said Alfisa's father.

"Eh, yeah, um!"

"Don't be so happy, Al.Neg not good with your friends, noah!", said her father Alfisa to Alfisa while thrusting a plate at me.

"It's good, clean!", said Alfisa as she chewed the chicken thigh in her mouth."Daddy's fried chicken is second to none!"

"Put it.Don't be embarrassing Daddy.Dad never taught you that!"

I nudged Alfisa's leg.Alfisa glanced at me.

"Yes..Yes.sorry!Here I put the chicken!", said Alfisa while grunting in annoyance.

"If you don't obey Dad.Don't ask for pocket money with Dad later when you leave school!", said Alfisa's father.

"Yes, no papa", Alfisa grinned."Then I ask now!"

"Bas with you, yes!",then his father Alfisa pinched and tickled Alfisa.Alfisa laughed chuckling.Similarly with his father.Seems Alfisa very close to his father.Keakan familiarity and warmth of the relationship between them make me feel jealous.Did if I still have a father, I still have a father,can I too?I don't feel my tears dripping.

"Well, why are you crying?", said Alfisa in surprise.They also stopped their laughter.

"No.no papa, kok!", I said as I wiped my tears.

I'm nodding.

Her father Alfisa looked at me sadly and then held my hand."Laras, do not be sad.Just take this Om as your own father.You can play here anytime.But yes, it is like gini.Oh,iya.Name Om, Arman.Call it Om Arman".

"Yes,Om.Thank you".

"Oh,iya.Come..A meal..Eat up!"

We then ate while talking.Just Andrew who cool himself.Nasi and food partially scattered at the table.

After eating, we went into Alfisa's room and lay down on the bed.It felt like all the fatigue and problems I experienced today had been erased.

"Emmh" said Alfisa."You know, didn't it.This morning?"

"Genesis?What events?"

"I also just heard from Riyanti,sih.Tadi time les, he WA me".

"What happened, huh?", I said."I was curious, but!"

"So morning Azril was called by the teacher of BK"

"Teacher BK?Why?", I'm getting curious."Directly said aja.Don't cut into pieces like that.I become more curious!"

"Well, from earlier I also immediately want to tell a story.But you cut and cut!"

"So Azril was rampaging in class.Terus Pak Agung smelled the smell of alcohol from his mouth.Terus his victims were also severe, Ras"

"Whose turban, Al?"

"The victim is Jaja".

"Jaja?Jaja is a geeky guy.His body is flat.Hair is a bit curly and glasses right?"

"Yes.Kasian the Jaja.She was slammed and kept his face beaten.And more severe, the pieces of glass pierced his eyeball.So he was immediately taken to the Hospital.While Azril was immediately taken to the police station".

"Azril was taken to the police station.He was arrested?"

"No idea.What is clear in the meantime is that he is in the police station.If his family Jaja nuduit can only be detained.Painfully Azril.Hiks..Hicks!".Alfisa suddenly cried.

"Silent..Calm down, Al.We wish Azril all the best!", I said trying to calm Alfisa down.

"Although he has rejected me.But I have long been with him.I have been close to him.I have been with him at all.Udah like a brother".

"Yes..Ja..I know.Be patient, yes.Tomorrow we look at Azril at the police station"

"He was never like this.He was a good boy.He never got drunk.He's a very religious child.Kok he can change so quickly?Must be because she broke up with you, huh, Ras?"

"I don't know.Maybe, sih.Sorry me, yes.It's all because of me!"

"Udah,Ras.This is not your fault, kok.Love can not be forced!"

"But I'm sorry, too, if you know it will be like this.I won't killusin Azril"

"No, Ras.You do not blame yourself.All have been outlined by God.This is all God's destiny"

"Yes, yeah, really", my heart.

Dock!Dock!

"Kids.Let's sleep.It's late.Sok school!You have to wake up tomorrow morning.You have to wash and iron your batik clothes to wear tomorrow!", you hear the sound of Om Arman from the door.

"Yes, Dad", replied Alfisa.

"Yes, Um!", I replied as well.

"Let's go to sleep!" said Alfisa half-whispering.

I nodded, and shortly afterwards we fell asleep..Hopefully tomorrow will be better, even though I can not eliminate my guilt about what happened to Azril.
