Puberty: Deketin The Jutek

57. The Last Thing He Wants

Defeat is felt by all sides.

Either Revano with his decision to quit TXT because so disappointed with Tara.

Tara with her regrets and fears when Bams was really that determined for the sake of something unguided.

I don't know who else, but they really felt it. They realize at some point that they have lost.

Which defeat is somehow because of nothing because it does not remember the journey that has been experienced. This defeat felt so real when what he had reaped, now grew into something unexpected.

Even so, they were unwilling to constantly be in the shadow of defeat. Therefore, they rise again and continue the journey to true victory.

...----------------...

Cheryl realized if no one would care about her until she won, then she would win it herself. He was also aware that all this time, if not for a reliable supporter, that would give him a standing ovation. Comfortable warm embrace. The survivor who has never been absent at every step of his way rises up.

Although not as good as papa's figure, not as warm as papa's embrace, not as pleasant as papa's, this person is still everything to Cheryl.

He did not want his beloved to get hurt much less have a scar like his. Therefore, Cheryl will try to protect her beloved as she is also protected as well as that by the beloved.

He is Revano, and Cheryl chooses to break a promise to Revano not to tell anyone. Cheryl decides to inform Aldo of Revano's desperate plan to reach the dangerous place.

However, it seems Cheryl is too hyperbole. Revano is not in danger, but rather creates danger itself. The proof is the bruises all over his face that sometimes are witty and annoying.

Cheryl grimaced as Revano's bonyok face added to the wound when Aldo pulled and threw a raw bogem once as a result of his actions to papa Cheryl.

“Ka ... Kaka ...," he said in a trembling voice. "Om Aldo, no! Poor Kaka.”

Anggara who fell down began to stand up straight and raised his chin snobbish. “Adek, go inside!” his orders to Cheryl.

“Kaka, wake up, Ka!” He panicked when Revano did not get up after falling down. “Come with me and please take care of me from Papa. I don't want Papa in!”   

“Adek!”

“Om horrifies itself, right?” His voice was weak, his deep husky voice was dark.

“Dan, Dad .. thanks for the bogem, very sick, even though the previous wound has not been treated. Thanks.”

He was silent for a moment when he remembered that his father had asked him something while both were still in the car.

“Kaka still likes music. It will never stop. About being a musician? Yes, Kaka still wants to be a musician.”

Anggara stared cynically at his nephew who had already dealt a raw blow. How dare this date boy beat up the old man.

“Well, this. The reason he wanted to move here was because he was free to come home the night after school for his musical activities, Aldo," Anggara said.

"Your son secretly joined a band that contained all badung, so the nature of him became badung. Cih, young people today. Want popularity to come first!” 

Neither Cheryl, nor Revano, had their eyes bandaged.

Do not let Aldo know because the deal was indeed triggered without Aldo's knowledge, while Frisly knows it and agrees as long as Revano really proves if he can manage his time between attending school and achieving his dreams. If Aldo finds out, if this established man knows, it will definitely throw bad possibilities.

Aldo frowned. “What does that mean? If Kaka joins a biker gang or gang that likes brawl, I already know. What does it mean to join a band that contains all bad boys? Who?”

“Om ... about that ...” Cheryl bit her lower lip. He stared at Revano who was still unmoved on the ground.

“It's true, but Kaka is out of the band. He never passed the time studying him ..," said Cheryl, trying to defend her beloved.

Aldo looked at Revano. He asked for an explanation from Revano directly. “Kaka?”

Aggara spoke the facts. “She makes music, Aldo. In our family there should be no music, because Papa-in-law wants offspring who will continue the family business. He would be considered a family disgrace if he chose the unclear path of life!" the accusation.

“Become musician? Haha.  If a doctor or a soldier can still be tolerated, but he is not!”

One walked closer to a house where four people were struggling. He listened word for word to Anggara who was completely sarcastic and was talking about his own disgrace.

“It is better to find your own way of life than to be a family disgrace with the affair scandal with your own secretary, Om Anggara!” fasya is full of emphasis.

“Kaka and Cheryl are in. Dad, Fasya got a message from Mizwar's grandfather, he wanted to talk to Dad, but because Dad didn't come home and Fasya the initiative followed up here,” he said, “dan for Om Anggara, he said, it just so happens that Om is here. Come with us to the house and meet grandfather Mizwar.”

Revano eavesdropped on Fasya's words from behind the door. He has not decided to actually go inside after Cheryl pulled him up.

Revano looked back, he considered a sentence he was eager to say to his father. However, he broke it.

His steps were stirred up while venturing to touch the injured area of the face. How bad is his face now?

Aldo's approaching Revano. “Ka, I need your explanation. So, you still recklessly sacrifice your youth for that reckless dream?”

Revano turned around. “If so why? Kaka's dream was wrong, huh? Or maybe Kaka is always wrong in Dad's eyes? Why is it just Kaka who is always wrong while Kaka also needs ...” His voice was low and growing.

“Dad, the last thing Kaka always wanted was to be like Dad.” Face darkens. Revano immediately turned around and continued his steps.

“Pack your things and go home with Daddy to home!”

The sentence managed to make his chest slash. He saw Cheryl who was stunned with her frightened face standing in the living room separated by the living room wall.

If Revano comes with Aldo back there, then Cheryl will be alone here and the worst possibility is to take her papa away.

“Sorry, but Kaka chose to stay here until Sean's brother came home. He hasn't come home here, jad—”

Aldo did not accept rejection. “Bone today or forever will never make you dare to touch that musical thing again!”

“Dad will call Sean and tell him to auction his already useless musical items to anyone. You may not know that Sean gave up on music, Ka,” continued Aldo half-threatening.

Revano was silent but Aldo did not give up. “You want to be a musician, right?” Quoting the phrase Revano a few minutes ago.

“Come, Home, Ka. This time, slowly get what you want. There's something in the house that I'll give you, Ka.”

He wanted to turn around, but seeing Cheryl flinching there made him reluctant. “How well does Chey?” Her eyes are red.

“He needs Kaka here because it's Sean's sister who asked, Nadia's aunt also asked for the same thing. Kaka wants to take care of Chey. Dad can go home.” Her face turned frantic when she saw Cheryl urung approaching to the living room.

Aldo breathed a heavy sigh. “Think carefully, Ka. If you've done that, don't hesitate to ask Dad to pick you up." Aldo tried to persuade the youngest.

"If Kaka doesn't do that, gapapa. Dad comes home first now because Mizwar's grandfather is waiting at home,” he added.

On his cousin's doorstep, Revano talks about his father's persuasion and Revano's own rejection. Revano muttered the sentence that he would not leave Cheryl alone before things went back to how they were, as their older brother Sean always believed.

Therefore, before Sean actually returns to their presence, Revano will not leave Cheryl or let Cheryl be harassed by her real man as before.

Afterwards, Revano began to reflect on this day. He is grateful to be alive today. It can still be strong and fight against what he once doubted. He was braver than before, and he was a little worried. After this, what should he do?

After letting go of all the things about his dream to win the challenge with that crazy bet. Now, it's all over. Although it was not as he had planned, but he dared to let go. And, Fanya had also returned safely. Mercifully.
