Red Pen In Blue Sky
Chapter 45: Conflict Resolution Part 5
A few years ago, in a park in East Jakarta, a little girl was surrounded by three boys, the three boys beat up the little girl and mocked her with unsavory words.
"Hey Ibab suck! Why are you looking at me like that! You want to die, huh! Feel this!" The boy who was in the middle spoke up and hit the little girl.
"Rubble!"
The boy's punch made the little girl fall, the little girl looked at the three boys in front of her with angry and sad eyes, which mixed into one.
"Why are you doing this to me?" The little girl asked in a soft tone, her entire body covered in wounds and full of dust.
"Why, 'cause you're a disgusting fathead! Why are you looking at me like that! You want to die!" The boy prepared to hit the little girl back, but before the boy's fist hit the fat little girl, a hand blocked the boy's fist.
"Well! Who's in my way!" The boy shouted furiously, raising his head to look at the person who stopped him.
"Don't bother the little girl!" A white-haired boy long enough to cover his eyes appeared, looking at the white-haired boy, making the three boys who were bothering the fat little girl become speechless, before the three of them laughed.
"Haha! Ben Strange as it turns out!" The boy in the middle laughed and smiled faintly.
"You're going to die, huh!" Suddenly the boy in the middle stopped laughing, himself looking at the white-haired boy with an annoyed look.
"No! But I won't let you bother this kid!" Said the white-haired boy widening his hands, then he looked at the three boys before him with a serious look.
"Miko! Teddie! You guys get him! Let's teach him a lesson so as not to interfere with our business!" Said the boy in the middle to his friends, then the two boys on the right and left immediately headed towards the white-haired boy.
Seeing himself about to be captured and beaten up, the white-haired boy immediately prepared to fight back, when a child was about to scare his hand, the white-haired boy immediately tried to dodge, but he was beaten by another child, and ended up arrested.
The white-haired boy tried to break away, but he was held back by two men, therefore he could not escape, seeing that the white-haired boy had already been caught, the boy who acted as the leader smiled widely.
"Don't try to be a hero!" The leader of the children beat up the belly of the white-haired boy, seeing the person who had helped him get beaten up, making the fat little girl cry sadly.
"No! Please don't do that! Help me!" The little girl tried to stop the children from beating up the person who had helped her.
"Shut up! Feel this!"
"Rubble!" Baaam!" "Gurgh!" "No!"
After hitting constantly the leader of the children stopped, he smiled in satisfaction.
"You let him go!" The command of the children's leader.
Then the children released the white-haired boy, after being released the white-haired boy fell to the ground.
"Don't bother us anymore! And don't act like a hero!" Said the leader of the children, before finally stepping on the right hand of the white-haired boy.
"He-hey! Are you okay!" Said the little girl who rushed towards the white-haired boy, looking at the boy with an anxious look.
"I'm sorry... It's all my fault, if only I wasn't ugly like this, they wouldn't have bothered me, and I definitely wouldn't have been beaten and mocked by them, if only I wasn't ugly..." The little girl who looked at her body.
Hearing the little girl's words left the white-haired boy speechless, before finally patting his palms together, "No!" As soon as it made the little girl startled, she immediately looked at the white-haired boy before her with a confused face.
"You're not ugly! You're cute! And beautiful! So don't think anything weird like that!" Hearing the words of the boy before her made the little girl widen her eyes, she stared with a face of disbelief at the boy before her.
"I'll help you! Just look at me making you the most cute and beautiful girl! Don't think negatively like that!" The white-haired boy immediately looked at the little girl with an excited face.
"Maybe a year or two...?" Murmuring the white-haired boy by staring at the entire body of the fat-bodied little girl, he estimated how long it would take for the little girl before him to be so beautiful.
"Also! Don't forget that beauty is not just physical! But also the heart! Try to have a beautiful heart!" Hearing the words of the white-haired boy, made the little girl stare with a shining gaze.
"Would you like to go home, I'll take you home!" Say the white-haired boy to the little girl in front of him.
"Emmm... No need, I can go home by myself..." The little girl lowered her head with a embarrassed face.
"It's okay, let me drop you! Where's your house?" The white-haired boy asked again.
"Oh well, let's follow me..." Then the two walked home together, on the way the two became more familiar.
The little girl finally found out that the boy in front of her was living nearby, the two of them not too far away, but also not too close together.
Seeing that the little girl looked tired after walking for a while, it immediately made the white-haired boy crouch down, he then looked back.
"Well, you're tired, aren't you?" Said the boy, which made the little girl raise her eyebrows.
"No need, I'm not tired! Anyways... I'm heavy so you can't do that." Hearing the little girl's words, making the white-haired boy frown, he then retreated a little and put his hands behind the knees of the little girl's legs, then he lifted the girl.
"Woaah! Hey stop! It's dangerous! I'm heavy so put me down!" Said the little girl who was screaming in fear.
"No! I will carry you to your house! So tell me where it is?" Hearing the words of the boy, who did not want to budge to make the little girl speechless, he then told her the location of his house.
Seeing the boy actually take him to his house, made the little girl feel very guilty, but at the same time he was very happy and excited, he said, because I finally have a friend who cares about her.
Then they finally arrived at the little girl's house, seeing a house large enough to make the white-haired boy a little fascinated.
"Thank you very much..." The little girl spoke with a timid face.
"No problem! Then I'll see you tomorrow! From tomorrow I will train you to be a cute and beautiful girl!" Hearing the boy's words made the little girl even more embarrassed.
"Yes, my name is Rissa Arini! Your name is Ben, isn't it? Greetings! See you tomorrow!" The little girl immediately entered his house.
