Shackled Two Flavors

The Village

I could only look down lethargicly, until mother hugged me tightly and gently rubbed my head.

"Talita forgive father and mother for making you like this, you take it easy mom has registered your school before and has prepared grandmother's house there for you to live in, you know, you're calm, later you just need to do a re-list" said my mother gave calm, sober,

"hmm yes mother, I'm not papa, I'm not completely accepting but how come there is no other choice for me, you don't worry I can take care of myself" I said as soon as I entered the taxi that my father had prepared.

"Dad believes you are indeed a reliable child" said the father while patting my right shoulder.

I waved my hand and I threw a smile at them as a sign of farewell, after the taxi I was riding drove slowly leaving my residence this heart again felt broken, my life was no longer as pleasant as it used to be, since the departure of my brother, everything has changed slowly, no matter what destiny God has planned for me and my family, I took a deep breath in the taxi until I could not feel it had reached the bus terminal, I got off by pushing my dark black suitcase, I looked around looking for a place where I could find the bus to my destination in the village, still I remember my father sending me the address details in my mobile wa message, I opened it and immediately looked for the bus that my father said in his message, after meeting me I went straight in and walked inside the bus looking for an empty seat, unfortunately at that time the bus was crowded and only two empty seats were left there, one was next to a fat old man who was sleeping soundly and snoring so fast, as soon as I felt disgusted and sick of seeing it, there was no intention to choose to sit next to such an old man.

"Aishhhhh disgusting, why should I take a bus like this" I said in my heart,

then I looked towards the back seat and saw an empty seat by the window I thought it was not so bad, although beside him there was a man wearing a mask and a black hoodie as well as sunglasses a little mysterious but better than having to sit next to the fat and noisy old man, soon I sat there so as not to be preceded by others.

"Excuse me, is this place empty?, may I sit here?" I asked politely, though,

"sit down" replied the man coldly,

because the man had allowed me to sit down without hesitation and began to look for the most comfortable position to sit there, for this was not a real journey but it took almost 8 to 9 hours until I reached the village of Simorangkir, from the name alone everyone must have guessed that the village was very far from the urban but not too remote as well.

A few moments later the bus began to run on the road, a few hours on the trip there was no problem for me, I was comfortable and fine until at night my stomach began to feel uncomfortable, I was comfortable, my head is dizzy and it feels so nauseous maybe because I've been late to eat since I left I haven't filled my stomach again, and I also forgot to bring no snacks at all I only brought clothes and some important items were in my suitcase, in a small bag that I was holding there was only a cell phone, he said, destination address and wallet only, I was confused to ask for help on whom.

I was thinking what I should do at a critical moment like this, just a few hours I was alone, now nauseous and unable to take care of myself.

"God what should I do, my mag relapses again, I have to eat the medicine, aishhh shit I don't bring drugs" I said grumbling.

It was unexpected that my grunts were heard by the hoodie man next to me until suddenly he asked me to open my hands, I felt astonished and confused but still followed his orders because he said very coldly without realizing I reflexed to follow his orders.

"You, give me your hand" said the man commanding,

"huh?, me?, for what?" I'm streaky and confused, though,

"i said give me your hand" said the man in a cold tone.

"Aihhhh...drug?, for what?" I was astonished as I looked at the medicine in my palm.

"Are you an idiot?, of course, for you to eat" said the man spontaneously.

I was so upset to hear the words of that annoying stranger, this was the first meeting between me and him, we didn't know each other at all and he could have said I was an idiot, how could I not be annoyed by his attitude that was so arrogant and so domineering.

"Hey... How dare you say I'm an idiot, this is me returning the medicine to you" I said resentfully as I pulled the stranger's hand and returned the medicine he had given me before,

"the bottom of the idiot girl is already sick so still keeping the prestige" said the man in a small voice but I could still hear her, still,

"don't you think I didn't hear what you said just nowwell, keep this good either, first I can't accept anything from a stranger, secondly I don't like you saying I want to and thirdly I don't need medicine from a guy like you" I said with annoyance while holding the nausea in my stomach.

After I said that, the man who had almost his entire face invisible even casually crossed his hands and put the medicine back in his hoodie pocket, not one bit he responded or even listened to my words just now, I was really annoyed to be made.

I wanted to feel like I slammed the man's head in front of the chair in front of him, fortunately I was holding back pain and nausea in the stomach so there was no energy to do all that.

"Huuuuhhh.. it really sucks, where my stomach hurts so much, oh why is it getting nauseous like this" I murmured in my heart,

"owwwweeekkkk..oweeekkk ..." My voice almost vomited because it was not strong enough to withstand nausea.

The man looked at me, with the sunglasses he was wearing I obviously couldn't see how his eyes looked as I looked at him who was about to vomit and be in pain.

"Don't you dare throw up next to me or I'll throw you out the window" the man threatened,

"huh?.why can there be such a cruel man in this world" I said with a furrowed eyebrow.

But again the damn man did not pester my words, really not out of thought why there is such a model man beside me, really sorry I chose to sit next to him, wanting to get angry for free will only consume my energy.

I continued to endure the nausea and pain in my stomach until the bus driver stopped his speed at a roadside restaurant, I was relieved that the bus stopped for a moment before continuing its journey, I immediately got off the bus and immediately vomited all the contents in my stomach on the side of the road just like that, no longer caring how the other people who saw me looked, most importantly for me I felt a little relieved after spitting it out even though this head still felt dizzy and still my stomach was uncomfortable, I staggered slowly and sat down on the bench in front of the restaurant, as I was about to pick up my phone I realized my bag was left on the bus, soon I walked and got on the bus looking for my bag but I could not find it.
