The Children's Story 17

Keyra

I had just closed my eyes when I heard a loud knock on my door.

"You?" I looked at who was standing behind the door. Keyla! A creature that recently started to interfere with my life.

"August, Brother!" the girl showed off a smile. "Can you come in, right? I brought my sister's favorite breakfast, here. Lontong.”

I saw the girl showing her pink box of food. On top of the box, there was a fresh red rose. Holy hooch! Again the Rose. It's been a week since Keyla showered me flowers.

"Sister?"

  I realized as the girl's hand waved before my eyes. "Sorrys. I'm ...."

"Yes?"

  "I ...." Oi! What am I supposed to say? It's not that I don't like lontong. But.this is self-esteem. Does he think I can't buy my own breakfast? And, most importantly, right now I don't want to be around any women. Huh! I don't want to be bound in any form!

"Sister?"

"I'm fasting!" answer carelessly! What the hell! I'm fasting? I'm fucking crazy! Fasting on sunday. Hadeh!

"What, sis? Brother fasting?"

I saw Keyla looking at me in disbelief. Yeah, of course he's confused. What fasting on sunday? And ... from the looks of it .. if only this life was a cartoon world - again? ah, nevermind!

"Yes, deck. Sorry yeah?"

"What a fact, brother? Is that not the reason you refused my gift?" ask Keyla cool. Yeah! This cool girl banged bye, can guess my heart.

"Hm.kalo I said again fasting, then that's the right thing. Ok?" I said with a heavy voice. I intentionally suppress my voice to the coldest level, so that the girl is not just guessing anymore.

"Alright, brother. No, no, papa."

  I saw Keyla slightly lowered her head, inched and then raised her face and smiled sweetly. "Sister.. Can you ask me something?"

  "What?"

  "Why does my sister seem to hate me so much?"

  Degh's!

  Wadaaooooo! What kind of question is that?

But Keyla's question made me feel weird. Ls i? Any timing? I've only known this lately, how can I hate? Then I got an idea. Laughing while holding your stomach.

  "Sister laughed? Brother laughing at me?" asking the girl made me stop.

"Miss, listen to me! I forgot the same name. My thoughts about me have never been. How do I try until I hate you?" ask me without a stale base.

  Keyla stared with a strange look. Then he smiled. "Sister..hm, today you're not in college, are you?"

"Let's go. On Sunday, that's it!" my answer almost made me cringe again. Is this a child, really blo'on or autistic?

"May..I ask you one more thing, brother?"

  Hadeh! I feel like I'm dealing with a guidance counselor who kills more than Rambo, Bonar Simatupang's pack dog.

  "Mo nanya what else, anyway?"

  "Will you take me to the gramedia, brother?" keyla asked me to think. Is the child has run out of girlfriends so ask me to nemanin him?

"I'm going to college, Key. Sorry." which."

  "But, said my sister not in college."

"Yes, but I'm going to the lab. Lab can be used 24 hours a day!"

Kayla looks at me. Look at his sharp eyes. If only this life existed in the world of cartoons, hadeh!.bored also thought. But for sure, I can feel that his eyes are sharp and like he wants to let out fire. Maybe..well, maybe if suddenly the fangs come out, I must be the first person who will be bitten to modar!

  "Alright, brother. I'm going home." he said back down.

  "Be careful, Key.." I shouted as I closed the door. Then breathe a sigh of relief. Wow.apparently can refuse a girl's invitation, not make me restless. I just feel my male soul overflowing, proud, and I feel cool. Well, well, maybe I'm a little selfish. I know this Keyla guy. She's my new boarding mom's son from Jakarta. So it's not wrong that he wants to get closer, because he certainly still doesn't have many friends. But that was no reason for him to be close to me. Enough has been one woman in the past that makes me almost sprawled in the hospital for always thinking about it. For the future, I will not easily fall in love with any girl.

  Geck! Geck! Geck!

  "Van...!"

  I heard screaming from outside my door. Impatiently. Made me jump to get the doorknob of my room.

  "What the hell? It's annoying you!" my shout almost gave the raw bogem my fist to the face of the pal next to my room.

  "Hey, stupid! You don't know, what? Did someone hit the car in front of you?"

  "God! Accidents. Is that my fault?" I shouted more and more angry.

  "Woi! Conscious, Van! That's what the girl who said she had just hit from here. It's littered in the street............................................."

Keyla!

  Like being stung by an electric current, I jumped to run to get the truth from what my friend had said. In front, I saw that there were already many people crowding around, surrounding the victims of the collision.

  Nah! Keyla! Keyla! Don't do this to me!

  Oh my God. I panicked. Keyla just met me. He just smiled sweetly at me and offered friendship. But I refused it. Rejected him cruelly. Oh God! What kind of man am I....

"Sir..bring a little, sir.i.that's my friend....m step aside sir..a..I am a medical student, maybe I can help..." I said trying to penetrate the crowd that seemed erratically busy. As they got out and gave me a way, I caught a glimpse of blood pooling on the asphalt.and the blood was mixed!

"Keylaa .." hissing. Nah! Not Keyla, God... Don't the girl. Please don't she...

  I'm trying to get close to that almost shapeless victim. But the feeling of loss and a sense of sin that is very very much makes me unable to get close. As soon as my hand touched that blood-filled body, my heart was crushed like it was squeezed .. My soul was like it was floating ....

  "Keyla ..," I said unconsciously shedding tears.

  "Nova ..."

  "Sir ..."

  "..."

"Sir .. I'm here ...,"

I faintly saw the figure of the girl whose lattice was standing not far from my place.

  "Keyla?"

  "Yes, brother. It's me ...."

  I know what I have to do. Immediately I ran to get the girl and hugged her tightly. Lordy! Only you know how happy I am to see this autistic girl alive and fresh.

"Sister, I was sorry to see that mom. He said he hasn't eaten in days. So I just give you that lontong. But it turns out she's ...."

  "Shj ... Never mind. It's not your fault." I said back hugging the girl.

  "Woii, Van! Lo mode! People are busy taking care of people colliding, you're here taking a nice hug!" shouted my friend next to my room.

But I don't care. It's just Keyla. For me, Keyla is now my top priority. He's been half my soul ever since I thought he left me.
