Lucifer

Chapter 5 - The Departure of Luci

The clock has shown at four o'clock in the afternoon where I am ready with various luggage that I will bring to the other country.

I waited for my manager who said he was almost there. I glanced towards the watch I was wearing, the clock was already showing the clock half-five. But the tekong has not come yet. I kept waiting with my father and my nephew accompanying me. I glanced towards the two of them without intending to say goodbye to the very precious person in my life.

Until the sound of car horns was heard. I turned my eyes to the voice and it was apparently a tekong car that took care of my departure.

"Are you ready?" he said as he got out of his car and greeted my father and nephew.

I just nodded without making a sound. I was focused on my father and nephew. Then without waiting any longer, I immediately approached the two and hugged their bodies tightly without intending to let go of the embrace. I also shed tears on the collar of both clothes.

My niece just patted my shoulder and said. "Here you are, Luci why are you crying? You're just going to make us happy, right? It's already! Don't cry anymore. My clothes are wet," his grunts, calling me by name only without the frills of Bibik or Aunty.

I hit my nephew's head hard. "Brazed kid! How dare you be the same old one! I'm your aunt!"

My father finally let go of my embrace and said. "Go! Be careful on the road."

I who had wiped my tears, accidentally spilled back the tears that I had washed. "Dad too! Take care of your health! Don't get sick and don't listen to what people say, it'll just make you hurt."

Dad just nodded and smiled when he saw that I was crying again. "Yes ... I promise son. Go then! Take good care of yourself there yes, I will wish you all the best."

I also got into the car that had been opened by the throat. And we left that place where my father and nephew stood. I looked back to make sure my dad was okay. I rubbed my tears that had been spilled earlier, I did not want to look weak next to people I did not know.

"It's okay mbak, I know what kind of feeling mbak Lusi. I have also felt the same way mbak, so mbak Lusi do not be ashamed." he said while thrusting me a tissue.

I grabbed the tissue without thanking the person beside me. Traveling after travel I finally arrived at the temporary shelter. I entered the area following the tekong's steps. There I met two people I had met before at a finger-cop a few weeks ago.

"Hey ... It seems like your age is not much different from our age" said one of the people who dragged my hand earlier.

"Hooh, I think so," said the other girl.

I just stared at the table without looking at them.

"Hey ...?" said the person by patting my arm slowly.

I also looked towards him. "If you can tell, how old are you?" he said he was curious about my age.

"Seventeen," I said briefly.

"Huh, seventeen?! You certain? I thought our age was not much different, but it turned out to be very far away" said the person shocked by what I said.

"Hey! Why are you keeping quiet? Are you awkward with us?"

"No."

"Then ... Why are you just silent?"

"I don't like to talk, especially with people I don't know" I said. And made the two people beside me look at each other and no longer speak.
