Chapter 5

- Use the opportunity that is still there, before you really miss the opportunity

Olivia Princess

°°°°°

Caitlin drove her white ninja motorcycle at a fairly high speed. Caitlin stopped by the quiet side of the road and sat down crouching beside her motorbike. There was a thunderous roar from the sky. Suddenly a bunch of water fell from the sky that now soaks the earth. Caitlin let her body moistened by the rain that fell more and more.

It was nine o'clock at night but Caitlin never came home. Alan sat on the couch unsettled and kept trying to contact Caitlin. Once in a while Alan asked Aunt Ira about where his little sister was going. Because Caitlin usually goes away without saying goodbye like this makes Alan and his parents worried. Alan asked about Caitlin to Joshua who was busy playing the playstation with his three friends, Davin, Kevin, and Evan.

"Joh, you know where Caitlin went?" Alan asked who was standing in front of Joshua against the TV.

"No, I don't know." Joshua said relaxed.

"Caitlin where the hell is it?" Alan's whisper can still be heard Joshua and his friends. When he heard that, Joshua felt unsettled and wanted to find the whereabouts of his sister but considering his relationship with Caitlin was not so good made Joshua undo his intentions, even though he was very worried.

Caitlin hid her face in the folds of her hands resting on her knees, now sitting on the sidewalk. He fell silent and thought about the problem that never had an end, Caitlin cried so much - so in that place without caring about the heavy rain that flushed her body.

Suddenly, Caitlin's body was pulled back and found a woman in a black leather middle jacket pulling her collar like she wanted to give a bogeman towards her face.

Bughh

A bump hit the corner of Caitlin's lips that the mysterious woman released. Caitlin's face was blown away and blood came out from the corner of her lips that were torn from the bump.

Bughh

Once again the mysterious woman gave a bump that made Caitlin grimace and rise from her seat intending to avenge the woman.

Bughh

Caitlin replied to the woman. Caitlin continued to hit the woman's stomach until she did not wrinkle anymore. Then Caitlin put on a helmet and left the place leaving the mysterious woman lying weakly on the asphalt. Caitlin pulled the gas tight regardless of the pain she was in right now.

Upon arriving at home, Caitlin immediately parked her motorcycle and entered the house with her white helmet. Caitlin was about to knock on the door but the door opened just like that and featured Alan in the doorway welcoming her arrival. Without caring for Alan who was standing, Caitlin immediately stepped in with a straight forward look. Alan who saw a bruise on Caitlin's face was curious what really happened to his sister. Alan caught up with Caitlin and asked her how she was.

"Cait, where are you from? Then your lips why are they bleeding?" Ala asked who made Caitlin's step stop and turned her body. Joshua and his friends can now see Caitlin's bruised face.

"Eh, why do you? His face was bruised." Evan's whisper nudged Joshua's arm.

Caitlin put her white helmet on the table without answering any questions from Alan. A disgruntled Alan unanswered his question pulled roughly on Caitlin's arm and left a few inches of her body with Caitlin.

"An answer to Alan's question. Where'd you? Why are your lips bleeding like this?" Ask Alan again.

With a heavy heart, Caitlin answered Alan's question in a hoarse voice from crying.

"I'm out of Cafe Trifix." Answer Caitlin casually.

"Keep bruising in your face why? You never said to me, never fight! You're a girl." Alan said that made Caitlin upset inevitably he had to be honest about what really happened.

"But the man who started first. The woman came - arrived and non-jok I so without me knowing what was wrong I was with her, not possible dong I diem aja jokin with the person, it is not possible, I have an obligation to protect myself." Obviously Caitlin shouted a little.

"Who is that girl?" Ask Alan again.

"No idea." replied Caitlin throwing her face to the side.

"Who is that woman? answer kaka!" Alan asked forcefully.

"Well, the problem is I also do not know who he is, suddenly came and non-jok I just. I don't know who that girl is." Ketus Caitlin is upset who then walks towards her room and leaves Alan. Joshua heard him start thinking about the woman Caitlin was referring to. Actually, Joshua could have asked the characteristics of the woman to Caitlin, but to do so he had to think long. There was no way he had arrived - arriving either to Caitlin only to inquire about the mysterious woman who had already hurt her younger sister.

"Mysterious lady? Seram very.ade lo there is a grudge, Joh." ceplos Kevin who got a slow blow from Joshua.

"More care." Joshua was the Only True to Caitlin, although he was thinking the same thing Kevin said.

🌿🌿🌿

Diana knocked on Caitlin's door many times, but she never got up and answered. Diana forced her way in and saw Caitlin lying weakly on her bed. Diana felt Caitlin's forehead, Diana was shocked when she felt her son's body temperature was quite high.

"The hook? You fever. Today you don't have to go in, just rest at home." The words of Diana that Caitlin denied.

"not mom. Caitlin wants to go to school." Stringency.

"But Cait-" said Diana who was cut off by Caitlin.

"Please mom! Cait wants to go to school, Cait doesn't want to be home." Caitlin got out of bed and got ready to go to school. Inevitably Diana had to follow her daughter's request.

At the dinner table Kenan, Diana, Alan, and Joshua had already gathered for breakfast. Caitlin came and immediately sat down on the bench she used to sit on. Caitlin took a loaf of bread and smeared it with chocolate jam. Not to forget he also drank a glass of white milk that Aunt Ira had prepared.

"Joshua, today Cait is leaving with you!" Kenan Pinta.

"But, dad. Joshua could not. There's Alan's brother, with Alan's brother." Reject Joshua.

"For what daddy schoolin Caitlin with you if you just do not want to go with your own sister. You know he's sick too." Persuade Kenan while sipping a cup of tea.

"But dad-" said Joshua who was cut off by Caitlin's sniffling speech.

"Udah, no need. If you can't, then. Caitlin can bring her own car." Caitlin who got up from her seat with her hand held her forehead and grabbed her car keys.

Joshus was just watching the motion - caitlin gurgled in wonder.

How'd he take the car? on the way, he staggered like that. Inner Joshua.

Without a warning Joshua got up from his seat and immediately approached Caitlin. Joshua snatches Caitlin's car keys and gives them to Aunt Ira and Joshua pulls Caitlin's hand toward the garage where her car is parked.

Cait knows, actually Willy's sister still cares about Cait. He murmured in his heart. He subconsciously smiled faintly at Joshua's treatment of caring for him.

On their journey together - equally silent, Joshua focused on the streets that began to jam and Caitlin closed her eyes during the trip to rest for a moment.

Upon arrival at school, Caitlin rushes to her class without saying a word to Joshua.

The tumben? Girls don't talk much, usually if I see him he always makes me talk to. Joshua muttered in his heart.

I will try not to disturb you again, and stay away from you during school at your request, sis. I'll try for you. Inner Caitlin.

Caitlin sat next to David who was playing a game on his phone. Caitlin hid the face in the folds of her hands on the table because she felt her head dizzy, and shrunken.

The entrance bell had already rung indicating the first lesson was about to begin. After five minutes the bell rang, Ms. Arin's Biology teacher was already in the XI IPA 1 class. Ms. Arin gave the task of a group of two people, namely a group with my countrymen. He does not teach today because of his sudden need outside of school. The task had to be collected before the break, inevitably Caitlin had to work on it as soon as possible. Caitlin took the required writing equipment and took it to the library.

"David, we're a bunch. If you want to join me in the perpus. But that's if you want, if you don't want to also do nothing - what, I don't mean." Caitlin smiled awkwardly and then moved from her seat to the library. Caitlin paid no heed to the pain she felt in her head and continued her steps towards the library.

I must be strong, I can !!!. Inner Caitlin.

Caitlin sat in the corner of the room. For a moment he massaged his temple plan to reduce the pain he felt.

As Caitlin was about to finish her Biology assignment, her hand came limp, and she was not strong enough to continue writing. Caitlin stopped her activity for a moment and stuck her head on the table.

"My hands why limp like this anyway? it's just a little bit more done." Caitlin told herself.

There was a man watching Caitlin from a distance. The man was about to approach Caitlin who was getting tired, but his steps stopped when David first approached Caitlin and sat beside her.

"Have you finished ?" David asked in a cold tone. Caitlin was startled and immediately raised her head to look at the person who was talking to her.

David's?

Caitlin simply shook her head in response. "A little more"

"Here I continue?" David with his face.

"Here, sorry I can't continue. My hands arrived - suddenly limp." Caitlin said by thrusting a paper and pen in front of David. David did not comment on his words and was busy with the biological task he was about to complete. Caitlin looked at David who was currently focusing on their group tasks, sometimes Caitlin smiled looking at David's face which was very different from usual. The face was cold, flat, jutek, and cynical but today for the first time the girl saw the calm and sweet face of David.

David could see Caitlin staring at him from the tail of his eyes, and David stopped his activity and looked back at Caitlin. The girl was surprised then she shifted her gaze as soon as possible. David only smiled faintly at Caitlin's misbehavior and continued writing her assignments.

You weird chick! David's troubled mind made David shake his head in astonishment.

Caitlin felt so ashamed that she misbehaved. Caitlin kept biting her lower lip.

"Done" cried David in a slightly shouted tone.

"Thank's already helping." Caitlin's Barren.

"It's a group assignment, so you don't have to thank me" David said and left Caitlin at the library.

The bell rang indicating that rest had arrived. Rachel, and Stella invite Caitlin to take a break to the cafeteria.

"Cait, yuk canteen!" Get Stella to raise her eyebrows. Again - again Caitlin just nodded in response. Caitlin got up from her seat and walked to the cafeteria with her new friends. Caitlin repeatedly blinked her eyes to neutralize the pain in her head. Arriving at the corridor Caitlin really not strong walking and his view is also hummed - fireflies.

Brugh

David who was not far away immediately approached Caitlin who was lying on the floor of the corridor. However, David undoes his intentions when the older brother, Davin is already beside Caitlin. Davin immediately carried Caitlin to the UKS and was followed by Caitlin's two friends.

From a distance Joshua also saw the incident, he could only squeeze his pants irritated. But deep down, Joshua was too hard to forgive Caitlin. Olivia, who was by the side patting Joshua on the shoulder, knew what her best friend was thinking right now. Olivia has known Joshua since they were Kindergartens, so she knows about the problems Joshua and Caitlin have experienced.

"Udah, Jo!" It was Olivia who put herself next to Joshua.

"Try to forgive him, well even though I know it's still hard for you. But, when do you want to be like this? Caitlin is your sister, and you as a sister should keep her even if you hate her. If you don't want something bad to happen one day Caitlin tries to be able to forgive her from now on. Don't you want to lose someone you love a second time? Take advantage of the opportunities that still exist, because we never know when we're going to lose someone we love, and we never know, Jo" Obviously Olivia patted Joshua on the shoulder and left.

Upon hearing that, Joshua pondered for a moment at the thought of Olivia's words. Joshua pulled his hair rough and sat on the floor with his face flushed red as he endured the crying.

Lo's right Liv. But, how am I confused? Joshua grumbled in his heart.

Olivia saw her best friend from a distance could only shed tears because she could not bear to see Joshua slumped like that.

I'll help you, I promise Jo. Inner Olivia.

In the UKS, Rachel, and Stella keep the unconscious Caitlin from her stings. Davin made a warm tea and took medicine for Caitlin.

"Thank you, ma'am Davin." Rachel.

"Caitlin wake up dong!" Stella said with her worried face.

"Yes, same - same. Yes, if I go to class first. If Cait wakes up, don't forget to make him drink tea and medicine." Davin replied, putting a glass of warm tea and medicine on the table beside the gurney where Caitlin was lying.

"Yes, definitely." Rachel and Stella said at the same time.

After Davin exits the UKS, Olivia and Cindy come to see Caitlin's unconscious state.

"I ask you to help me. Please take care of Caitlin until she wakes up." Olivia's Pinta with glazed eyes. Caitlin's two friends are surprised by the arrival of Olivia and Cindy who arrive because they are not usually approached by the younger class. Rachel, and Stella just nod, indicating that they agree with Olivia's request, even though they're a little surprised. After getting an answer, Olivia and Cindy immediately left the UKS.

Weirdo? Olivia doesn't usually care about other people she just met. Inner Stella wonder.

Shortly after, Caitlin regained consciousness from her stupor by holding her painful forehead. Caitlin changed her sleeping position to half-sitting.

"This hook drinks the tea first. Let's have energy. After that you just take medicine" said Rachel while helping Caitlin sip warm tea that has been made by Davin.

"Thank's you guys not resting?" Caitlin asked with her hoarse voice.

"Where do we want to rest if our friend just passed out like that. There's no way we'll leave you alone here, Cait." Stella answered while looking into Caitlin's eyes. Caitlin smiled at the reply from her friend.

A fella?

"Thank you.... Thank you, you care about me." Said Caitlin who accidentally shed tears because she was moved.

"Don't cry dong!" Said Stella who wiped away the tears on Caitlin's cheek.

"Eh, Cait. That's your face, why is it bruised?" ask Rachel.

"Oh, this is because - because of the kissed boxing gloves" he said casually and Stella only mangosteen as if to know if Caitlin really likes martial arts.

"Lo can martial arts?" asked Rachel plainly.

"Hm"

"Ohhhh"

"So Davin brought you here. And this tea he made."Said Stella who made Caitlin surprised and frowned.

"A Davin?" Caitlin asked to make sure she heard.

"Yes. It was Davin who had noolongin lo." Rachel was convincing.

Davin Ka? Ask Caitlin inwardly.

"To yuk class!" Take Caitlin out of the gurney.

"But you have to rest, Cait. You're still limp anyways and you just realized." Pinta Stella is worried.

"You guys just calm down. I am healthy." Caitlin is possessed by her wishes. Inevitably both of his friends had to follow his request.

"Yes, come on! But if you don't feel well, say the same to us." Said Rachel who got the nod from Caitlin.

Upon arriving at class, Caitlin sat in her place and hid her face in the folds of her hands on the table. David noticed Caitlin's arrival, he glanced at the girl beside him through the tail of his eyes.

"Biological tasks are already lo kumpulin?" David asked in a cold tone and only got a nod from Caitlin.

Time has shown at two o'clock in the afternoon and makes students scatter out of class because the bell home has rung. Caitlin is confused about who to go home with because she knows Joshua does not like to go or go home with her if not for force.

Caitlin walked down the parking lot and her gaze met with Joshua's gaze. Caitlin sees Joshua waiting to be accompanied by Olivia, but Caitlin keeps walking regardless of Joshua and bows her head. His steps came to a halt as his hands were pulled back like something was holding back. The girl also saw the person holding her hand at this moment, it turned out that that person was Olivia.

"Where are you? Joshua is waiting for you." It was Olivia who made Caitlin put her eyebrows together.

"Sorry brother, I'm taking a taxi home." Ketus Caitlin and released Olivia's grasp from her hand. Waiting for a taxi in front of the school gate.

Olivia who heard that, looked at Joshua disappointed. Joshua saw the sad look on Olivia's face asking her friend.

"Why? She doesn't want to?" Ask Joshua. Olivia just nodded slowly.

"Well, I'm anter you go home." Bargain Joshua then pulled out Olivia's hand.

"Jo, until when? Until when do you keep like this? You don't feel like Caitlin's starting to get away from you." Ketus Olivia who grew tired of the indifference of her best friend to Caitlin.

"Liv, please stop to talk about him. I'm tired!." Joshua replied slightly restraining his anger.

"Well, but when is Jo? Until you lose him? Huh uh?" Ask Olivia who made Joshua angry.

"Liv, stop! Mending now you get out of my car!" throw Joshua a little scream in a cold tone.

Olivia got out of Joshua's car and stared at the car until it was invisible.

Hopefully with me talking like that, can make you aware of Jo. If you can not dissolve in this problem continuously. He murmured in his heart.
