"Lu, no shit, Neng? Why do you cry?" Bima again asked a few seconds after the two silenced in a gaze.
The little girl lowered her face, still with the rest of the cries she listened to. Bima glanced at his elbow, there was a scuff wound and bleeding a little, maybe he fell and his elbow which he used to support his body was scratched.
"Your elbows are sick, yes, Neng. Bentar, yes, the cave take medicine first." Bima rushed to the God who was staring at him in the distance.
The little girl raised her gaze, to Bima who was chatting in the distance with an almost old man. Bima looked up, I don't know where she went. He appeared with a plastic bag in his hand.
Bima smiled, there were small dimples on both sides of her lips.
'Dad, why is he so similar to Dad? Who is this Brother?' the inner little girl was a little embarrassed because of the charm of Bima's good looks.
"Here, cave help medicine." Bima sat beside him. He took the girl's hand and cleaned it using the mineral water he bought.
"It hurts, huh?" Bima smiled again, he paused what he was doing as the girl's lips hissed in pain.
"Dad?" Mumbled almost inaudibly. He bit his lips, watching Bima who was so painstakingly treating his wound.
Handsome, why do I look like I see Dad in this brother?
Again he murmured. Not blinking his eyes looked at Bima until the boy finished dressing his wounds using plaster.
"Well, udan rebes. Don't cry anymore. The wound was in the cave of medicine, and it was healing." Bima rubbed the little girl's head. There was a strange taste that ran through his veins upon coming into direct contact with him.
"Thank you." The head looked down again, she was a shy girl. Saying it is almost like a whisper.
"Yes, where's your Nyak Babeh? Why alone?" Bima's head dipped to the right and left. Many people passed by, but he did not know which one the girl's parents were.
Bima was stunned when a crying voice answered her question earlier.
"Dad! Mama! Where are you guys? I'm lost, I'm scared." Both hands covered his face. Crying as you call your mom and dad. Bima was confused, he stood up, then sat down again not knowing which one the girl's parents were.
He hugged the shaky shoulder, rubbing it just to calm it down.
"Udah, don't cry. Where are your parents? Why did you get lost rich gini?" ask Bima to know. The girl just shook her head not knowing and not remembering.
The crying gets louder, Bima panics. He threw a glance at the parking lot, there was no God there. His tongue clucked repeatedly, panicking as the cry of the little girl never subsided.
"Russia, dong. Don't cry on. The cave's buying ice cream, will you?" He shook his head, still crying.
Bima folded her lips, thinking what she should do to relieve the girl's cries. Bima glanced at his wrist, there wrapped around a necklace with a pendulum with the initial letter B. Bima opened the winding, and looked at it intently.
Remembering the message of Tina and the Gods that he should not remove the necklace. It was a gift from them on his tenth birthday yesterday.
Bima opened one of the hands of the girl who covered her face, took it, and gave the necklace to her hand. Still with the rest of the sobs, the little girl glanced at his hand.
He brought the object in the palm of the hand close to the face, looking at it for a long time. Bima smiled, as the tiny hand rubbed her watery eyes.
"This what?" Ask questions because they are still as excited.
Bima smiled again, she pulled the girl's hand without taking her necklace. "It's a gift from Nyak, Babeh cave. Emang is not valuable, but he said so that the cave remembers them. Every cave look at this necklace, the cave is always smiling. Happy, and because you cry on, the cave love this necklace. So that ati you will be happy every time see this necklace. Take it, make you."
Bima released his hand back, he tilted his head staring deeper into the red face of the little girl.
"Son't give this to me?" tanyakanya. His voice, his style of speech, made Bima stunned.
He chuckles in the heart. It is unusual to speak formal language in his daily life.
"Yes, you can grab it and save it. Don't spare, yeah. Let's see you again, you should go back for the necklace. Gua is afraid of Nyak and Babeh nanyain," said Bima while commenting on a sweet smile for him.
The little girl dared to look at Bima's face. He smiled, glancing back at his hand before turning to Bima.
"thank you. I will definitely return it to Brother whenever we meet. For now, can I keep it? I like it" said the little girl in her innocence.
Bima chuckled, he looked away while folding his lips. "Gua told you earlier, you can keep a necklace, but if you're bored don't let you throw it away. Back to the cave again," said Bima.
Again the smile made him stunned, a smile that was almost similar to that of the Father.
"Sister, why does Big Brother's smile look like my father's?" ask him unconsciously. Bima was stunned, frowning his forehead in confusion.
"Dad? Babeh lu's? No handsome? If not, the cave ogah is called ma him." Bima melengos lazy once it feels like someone is comparing himself.
However, the little girl touched his shoulder. He tilted his head only to be able to see the face of the boy who spoke rudely.
"My father is handsome, to me he is only the most handsome. If I say Brother looks like him, it means that Brother is just as handsome as my father. Believe me!" He smiled very sweetly, raining right in the middle of the chest as soon as Bima turned to him.
"Aren't you crying anymore?" Ask to divert the conversation. He just nodded while holding Bima's necklace.
"You know, we'll just wait here, your parents won't find you. Yu, cave your way to the information room at this market. You can wait for them there," Bima asked. He moved first to prepare to leave.
Don't know why? But the little girl just believed in Bima. He walked up and followed behind the boy to a room.
Bima spoke to the officer there that there was a child who was lost and looking for his master's person. The officer announced as per Bima's report.
"We just wait, your parents pause again nyampe," said Bima while sitting next to the little girl.
Recalling his duty to help the gods, he said goodbye and left the little girl to the information officer. Bima waved, he walked out leaving the little girl alone.
"Sister!" Bima's steps stopped at the doorstep of the room. He looked up and waited for the little girl to come.
"Can we meet again?" tanyanya expectantly.
"Said Nyak ma Babeh, if we are a mate will surely meet. Uda, yeah. The cave must help Babeh. Take good care of yourself, don't spare jatoh anymore," he said as he rubbed the little girl's hair and passed away.
He was still standing there until Bima's back disappeared.
"Darling!" A middle-aged woman ran over and hugged the little girl who was still standing in the doorway of the room.
"Mother! Daddy!" He hugged his mother tightly. Spilling fear that successfully removed Bima.
"You okay, honey? How can you get lost?" asked the bespectacled middle-aged man whom he called Father.
"I don't know either, Dad. Suddenly I was outside. Someone hit me until I fell. Luckily, there was a good brother who helped me. He treated my wounds and brought me here" he said, showing a wound on a hand wrapped in plaster.
"Oh, Oh my God. I'm sorry, dear. Sorry." The woman was sorry, she hugged her daughter and lifted her in a sling. The two say goodbye to the information officer and leave the market while listening to their daughter's story about the handsome boy who helped her.
"He looks like Dad when he's smiling, but he's also similar to Mom in the eyes." The two middle-aged were stunned, they threw one another a glance.
Baea!
