My Clown Boy's

35

Positive thinking is the key that will not break you

***

The situation at the club was getting crowded but did not make the two teenagers move from their place. They are still engaged in serious conversation. The music changed, but Delano was still engrossed in his thoughts.

"Ma mm.."

"Gue must apologize to him. And I'd be devastated if Fany didn't forgive me!" Delano looks sad.

"Gue's afraid of losing my brother!" added Ali who made Delano again blinked, people began to get into the bar a lot. But Delano didn't stop drinking, and Ali's milkshake was almost gone.

"Lo know?if Fany can't fight the trauma he can go crazy Lan" Ali stared blankly, but Delano knew that Ali was blaming herself.

"It's all because I can't take care of him",

Delano also felt guilty because as long as Ali wasn't around he should have taken care of Fany. And he failed.

"Fany is different now".

"Gue can look?"

"Don't be traumatized now" Delano sighed at Ali's reply, he should have known himself.

"He lost his cheer" Ali was still fond of telling stories, and did not realize that girls dressed up menor photographed them.

"And this is because he's the one who came" Delano subconsciously felt confused because of Ali's ambiguous remarks, the past? Who's that. Inner Delano.

"meaning?"

"It has. Lupain only!"

"And you don't want to tell me your problem?" said Ali who again made Delano dumbstruck, silent for a moment and then sighed. He'd better tell her than it keeps bothering her.

"Gue.." his speech was interrupted when Ali's phone ringing sound was heard.

"Sorry, you pick up first!" Ali felt bad but was responded to casually by Delano. And looking at the name on the screen, Ali immediately came out. It could be dangerous if his mom finds out he's at the club now.

"Hello mi" he said directly when in the parking lot, which is quite quiet. Because there aren't many people.

"...."

"Ali again with Delano"

"..."

"Mami why cry?"

"...."

Ali's eyes rounded, hearing the news that had just been conveyed by his mother.

"So where are you?"

"...."

The connection was cut off, this time he stared blankly.

"Lo why bro?" delano's voice broke his daydream.

"We have to go to the hospital now!", and without further warning they immediately got into the car.

Delano did not ask much even though he was very curious. The car drove in the middle of the night.

"Hi steffy today is your birthday, right, I have a surprise for you", The seven-year-old boy blocked the arm of a little girl who was his age. When the girl was about to buy ice cream outside the fence.

The little girl's eyes sparkled for the sake of hearing it.

"Gee. Steffy wants to"

A small smile rose from Ian's lips. Then pull Steffy's hand to follow him.

They arrived at the garden behind the big brown-painted house and then Ian took out a big box. Which was almost as tall as him, making Steffy impatient to open it.

"Eh...What was Om Dika with my papa?" Steffy asked Ian. And answered a nod by the little girl.

"Later tonight you come to my house! Mom and dad want to celebrate my seventh birthday with sister", Chubby cheeks look adorable when talking. And Ian subconsciously pushed himself forward, then peeked at Steffy's cheek.

Cup...

The girl blinked slowly, then turned her head towards Ian who was smiling sinlessly.

"Bunda said, the sweet face of her cheeks in the kiss" she explained which made the little girl smile.

"When I grow up, I want to marry Ian. I'll ask my mom" he said innocently. Though he did not understand what it was to get married, only a few times heard it from his mother. Marriage can bring happiness.

"If I don't want to be with Steffy how?"

Steffy thought for a moment as he opened the big red box.

"I'm the same Ryan" he said calmly, which made Ian's lips pursed.

"I'll open here now or later?" steffy asked to break the silence created.

"Later in your house" said the boy calmly.

And it's only taken by Steffy.

"It felt like Steffy could not wait to open this gift" a small smile rose from his lips that made Ian again feel anxious. And this time the boy pinched Chubby Steffy's cheek. And made the little girl grimace until her eyes bulged.

"Isaannnn..." Steffy screamed as Ian ran away leaving her after the boy had pinched her.

Steffy, who felt he could not take the chase. Should reply. The atmosphere of the afternoon was bright so they did not realize a few meters from there was someone watching. While calling someone.

A boy passed by, his ashes turned wide to look at the person with the strange gawkat. The freak grinned at the sight of the child passing by.

"Don't you know them?" the sound as deep as the well made my feathers creep, so inevitably the child nodded in doubt.

The man laughed for a moment.

"A pleasant coincidence. I think the game's about to start", the guy keeps staring into the big house where Steffy and Ian are playing.

"You just have to see it, son. Then you'll be safe. No need to get involved too far". The man continued to say, but was not understood by the boy.

"I go first." he said hesitantly in reply to the rarity by the man.

The boy then walked away, once looking back but he still did not understand. Until an idea popped into his head when he saw the bushes.

"Steffy...Ian don't play too far, son!" shouted the young lady from inside the house.

"Lian..... Wicked" Steffy's upset that he still hasn't caught Ian.

Ian turned his head for a moment and stuck out his tongue.

"Wlee"

Then back to running, his little feet treaded onto the hot asphalt. At first he stopped remembering his mother's words. But seeing Steffy close he spurred his run.

Even now Steffy still hugs his gift. So the boy smiled a little.

When they managed to get out, they saw a black sedan parked not far from him until the boy decided to hide there.

"Maybe Steffy won't find me" he thought.

The boy stood by the car he was sure Steffy would not see. His heart was beating faster from being too tired. Her breathing was so boring earlier. Until he decided to squat.

The car door opened, a leather shoe visible to his eyes. Slowly he looked up. Until his eyes were fixed on those broken eyes. Circling, and his black eyes drowned.

Ian shuddered in horror, as one of his bloodless, red-colored eyes stared at him sharply. Then a sneer was seen.

"Hi son" his voice was as deep as a well, making Ian shudder again.

"Who are you?" tannya

The guy laughed so hard, it was like this was all a joke. The atmosphere on the streets was now deserted.

I don't know where all the riders who pass often. The wind blew, flying Ian's black haircut.

"I am the one who will make you sick. To beg your short life for me" the man chuckled again at the frown on Ian's face.

"I am the one who will make your father beg. Until her tears turned to blood just like she did to me". Ian started to get scared, seeing those eyes glaring creepily at him.

"I really don't know" he said, trying to beg.

"I just want to see your father destroyed. Just like he did to my wife and son".

The man then lifted Ian like a sack of rice into the trunk of a car. Ian tried to fight but his mouth was fixed, and his calm was not comparable. Because in the car there were still two big bodies.

Ian bit the man's hand, but strangely did not have a meaningful effect on the big hand. Only a wide grin could he get.

"You turned out to be a wayward boy" Ian growled at him, and then the next minute he was thrown into the car. And his back was right about the iron.

Making Ian grimace in pain, his head was also bumped into the backrest of the seat.

For a moment the boy could not move, just shouting while trying to sit down.

The person then rubbed the corner of his lips intending to close it but urinated when he saw Ian's eyes constantly staring behind him.

Realize that someone is there. The man left the trunk. The steps are full of calculation.

Steffy tried to find Ian but couldn't find him. It was ten minutes ago that the boy was hiding from her.

Steffy then walked closer to the sedan, when he heard a knock. The little girl tightened her embrace on her big box which she did not yet know about.

Steffy froze when he saw Ian being carried and thrown into the car. Bone it feels like pain to hear the squeals caused.

Steffy couldn't see clearly the man who knocked Ian down, because it was just from behind. But, he clearly knew the person was creepy from his voice. Even within two meters managed to frighten him.

But without a second thought the girl ran, intent on getting Ian out of there. When the man left the trunk heading to the seat I was gambling.

Ian who saw it shook his head, but the girl didn't care.

He ran as fast as he could.

His heart thumped as his embrace on the box tightened.

Ian stroked forward, intent on reaching for the small hand when Steffy was already right in front of him.

"Dian.." - He said, because he was too tired.

But his fear is so dominant that he doesn't care.

His brown hair swung as the girl stood up, with irregular breathing.

"Let's get away!" the door with a hoarse voice.

His clothes were soaked in sweat, but they both knew that they were in danger.

"Run!" said Ian did not lose slowly.

"Go from here"

Steffy shook his head, "we should go together. You will be angry!"

Ian shook his head, as he saw the man coming back. His laughter echoed, so Steffy turned his head.

Steffy this time was also thrown into the car hard. The box he had been hugging slowly fell down, regarding the hot asphalt.

After that, the person in the brown leather jacket immediately closed the trunk of the car. It left Ian and Steffy huddled up. Frightened, because the next minute Steffy knew nothing. All he remembered was when he woke up the girl was in an old building with creepy voices.

Seeing that the car was speeding away, the ash-stained child came out of the bush where he was hiding. The big box was lying on the hard road. She was shocked, with the one she just saw.

The boy then approached the box on the increasingly stretched street. Close the box slightly open until he can see the object inside. A large panda doll in black and white.

"Where is doc?" ratih asked as soon as he saw the man in white clothes coming out of the room that read ER.

The doctor smiled softly, "His head is fine! It's just that I gave him a few little stitches because your son sliced through a nerve that was prone to bleeding".

Practice breathing relief.

"At least you brought him here on time"

"Thank you doc!" said Ratih full of gratitude who was embraced by the doctor.

"It looks like your son has also experienced mom's trauma!" The doctor said in a concerned tone, then patted Ratih's shoulder gently and then left her alone.

Ratih then entered, he looked at his daughter who was asleep quietly. There was a deep sense of regret in his heart seeing that face.

He knows maybe tomorrow Fany has to go back to that place again before he wakes up. But Ratih tried to strengthen himself by smiling, even if a little forced.

Ratih knows, Fany is strong against him.

At least to survive.
