The Girl At The Club That Night

Back to the Kubangan

FOLLOW, RIGHT? DON'T FORGET LIKE!!!

The girl smiled softly as she handed out food to some of the orphanage children who were lined up neatly facing the dining table. There was a slight change in his body shape, presumably fat now.

Anastasya is still not aware of my presence in this place with Karina.  We both watched from a distance, glancing at each other for a moment while I could not bear to smile with relief. Finally, my concerns have been paid by seeing Caca who is in good health.

"He I found in Bali in a state of unconsciousness and his body fever at that time. Maybe the effect of the former surgery, to have to undergo intense treatment for several days. Luckily he was strong, so he could get through his critical period. Did you never give her the cure, Vin?"

"Medicine?" I'm looking.

"Yes, a drug that should be taken routinely a few months after surgery."

"Caca never said anything to me, instead he said that the medicine that you loved at that time was enough."

Karina shook her head. He sniffed, maybe annoyed too because I'm not sensitive to the same health Caca.

"Just now, even his body will not be too strong with the cold air. Especially if the rain for a long time."

Miris, he still looks cheerful even though his body condition is not in a state of good. That girl, why is she always able to hide her problems behind laughter? Even if one were to look, one wouldn't expect Caca to have such a big problem in her life.

"Lo samperin, gih." Karina nudged my arm.

"What's? Emh, later, I'm still nervous."

"Ck, map ...."

Karina pushed my body until we passed each other and it was obvious that Caca was surprised by my presence in this place. I don't know, my hair is a bit thick right now. Maybe Caca doesn't recognize that much.

"Absite ...."

Finally the sound managed to melt the feeling that had been overcome with sadness. It feels warm, even down to the face that may currently look exactly like a boiled crab.

"Absite ...." Again, the sound made this mouth gape.

"Yes, Ca-ca." I staggered.

Sighing deeply, hugging the body tightly as if indifferent to the orphanage children staring at us strangely. Maybe I am scared of my messy appearance.

"Abang misses you, Ca. Really miss."

Just the tight grip I got then the girl tried to let go of my embrace.

"It's not good, there are children here" whispered Caca later.

"Ah, sorry. Brother excited."

"Absite ...."

"Yes, Caca ...." I still haven't been able to speak much, only a silly smile can be shown.

"Want breakfast here or in the park?" I can't escape the smile that I've been missing all this time.

"Done it."

"Absite ...."

"Hem?"

"The answer is true."

"Huh? Brother wants us to go to the park." Smiling silly, scratching your head does not itch.

Caca smiled amusedly, before long we had been in the front garden of the orphanage. Caca painstakingly fed me with food on his lap. Very sure if this is his homemade. Yes, it feels so familiar on the tongue.

"Since when did you come back to Jakarta?" While not off the spoon was stirring rice mixed with vegetables, not much different like treating a small child.

"Ca ... You can eat by yourself." I was about to reach for the plate, but Caca's hand held it.

"Why? You don't want me to bribe?"

Ish, so spoiled. This is what makes me unable to remember him. So adorable.

"Does miss you." I stroked that soft cheek.

Caca stopped the movement of his hand, he looked down and just stared at the rice grains like a bunch of eyes watching him.

The girl sighed, looked up and closed her eyes.

"I know that. But ...."

"Lakshmi?"

He played a wooden ring that was still faithfully coiled on his finger. Ah, how stupid I am. Why would you leave the ring to someone else? It was certain from the beginning that Caca would notice this finger.

"Abang Sama Laksmi nothing, we are just a relationship of brothers, brothers."

"Aren't we like that too?"

"We? Sisters? What did that night mean?"

My chest really feels tight to hear all this. The sisters he said, then the warmth of the night, what does it mean? My throat feels choked, maybe even can no longer drink water even if only a drop.

"You're so happy to play with brother's feelings, Ca? That day you said yourself, if you want to be your first man. Then what does that mean? Just want to hurt your brother?" Short of it, I stopped for a moment. Just holding back tears that will drop self-esteem.

"Absite ...." Caca closed his eyes. "I'm sure one day you'll understand."

"What idea?! What do you not know about you?! All this time you didn't understand Brother! All this time, Abang thought that the sadness of Abang will be there eventually, Abang thought, the waiting of Abang will produce good results. Turns out what you got from you, Ca? What do you think this brother is?! Brother can't be like this. Since your presence in your life Brother, Since then you have become the purpose of your life Brother and Brother hope you understand it!"

I got up, left him who was no longer speaking and just fell silent without chasing to explain anything.

Stupid, Alvin! You are too stupid in life! Rela died for a girl who did not even put the same heart you. You idiot!

AARRGHH ...!

POV AUTHORS

Caca just stared at the body that was getting away from it while one of his hands gently caressed the stomach that might later grow. Alvin was only a shadow, even the face he could no longer achieve.

Tears that have been trying to survive since the beginning are no longer able to stand still. He heard clearly Alvin screaming in his car, before the vehicle finally darted away from where he was.

Instantly the regret burst into his chest cavity, until it felt so heavy.

The meeting that should be tinged with happiness, he was forced to smear with stupid words to make Alvin hate him.

"Record ...." Karina's voice gently called out to him.

The hand gently stroked Caca's back, then hugged her like a friend.

"I'm so mean, Doc. I'm evil ...." He sobbed in Karina's arms. "I had to do this with him, I didn't want him to get hurt."

"That's it, maybe it's best for both of you. I would suggest you be honest with him. Don't let Alvin get ruined because of this, you too."

Caca nodded. "This is not his problem, Bang Alvin should not continue to be involved with this problem. Let me finish everything."

Karina could only sigh long. It was also impossible for him to impose his own will. However, he only gives advice without always being followed if he does not want to.

PLASHBACKS

That night was the happiest day for Anastasya. His friendship with Alvin one day makes him feel that he is the only girl Alvin loves. To let go of the most precious thing in his life.

Firrst time. Even he himself felt Alvin was still stiff in doing so. The smile was endlessly adorning, until it finally vanished when it saw the terrible events before its eyes. Even Laksmi did not hesitate to cast a look of blame on him for this incident.

Seeing his parents both unconscious, Alvin suddenly released the original warm grip to protect his fingers.

Caca knew at the end of the day, Alvin's heart was not that special. Moreover, Alvin himself refused when he touched his shoulder.

Shaken the girl. He felt, maybe it was time he freed Alvin and not involved too deeply with his problems.

Caca wrote a letter, before finally leaving it to one of the Wa Made employees who attended the cremation event as well as the delivery of Wa Made's ashes to the beach.

"It's about time I didn't involve you anymore" Caca said, then passed.

His heart ached to see Alvin just focus on hugging Laksmi who kept crying. No one looked at her, the more convincing Caca had to leave. No matter if it was just a piece of clothing that was tightly attached to his body.

Caca remembered very well, if Alvin had picked it up from a dirty puddle and tried to clean it from the stain. Until Caca lived with fragrance, until finally he let himself go.

Now, he's not like he used to be. Caca also gave himself up for survival and not only tied to the figure of Alvin who now seems not to glance at him at all. Without knowing, that in other places Alvin was so anxious to find his whereabouts.

Steadily, Caca stepped foot into the club that night, attracting the attention of a blonde woman who was smoking a cigarette in the corner of the room.

Yeah, she's a night woman's handmaiden.
