The Horizon Boundaries

Ch.18 Don't touch my sister!

Maisa walked down a quiet road. As usual, I walked far away. He would rather take the short road. Although the road is quiet enough. Sometimes if lazy to walk, Maisa take public transportation. You could say the distance of the house and campus is quite far. He walked while humming.

“Again alone yes, Beautiful mother," greet someone.

Four thug-looking men came over and surrounded him. Gondrong-haired, wearing a tattoo on the arm. A cigarette tucked in his hand. Looking at Maisa from head to toe with a lustful look. Maisa's attitude turned wary feeling that there was danger coming near her.

“May we befriend, Ma'am? We are free again, nih," said one of them while rubbing his chin a little.

His look was really harassing. Disgusting grin in Maisa's eyes. Looks like he's the leader of the thugs. While others whispered with a stern look resisted the desire. The sound of gulping was clearly heard.

"Sorry, Mas. I have a lot of business."

Maisa slowly stepped back. His face put on a wry smile. The four men approached him. The thug boss blocked Maisa's path and held her hand tightly. The girl tried to shake her hand but the man clasped her hand tighter until it hurt on his wrist. He rebelled and tried to escape from his grip.

"Just calm down, Ma'am. Later too, linger, too."

The man whispered in Maisa's ear, his breath hunting. Next to her hand was stroking Maisa's hair. The man looked at him closely. Tracing the girl's eyes, nose, lips, and neck.

The three men behind him chuckled amusedly. When he was about to kiss her, his hand grip loosened slightly. Seeing the opportunity, Maisa quickly brushed off her hand, threw a punch to her chin, and kicked the area between the two men's legs.

The man fell down, groaning in pain. Maisa took a thousand steps, leaving the three men still in shock. His third mouth was open. One of them helped the man stand up. Both of his legs trembled withstanding the unstoppable pain. He let go of his partner's hand grip violently.

"Capture him and drag him here! shouted the thug boss pointing towards Maisa who disappeared behind the alley.

The three men ran after him. Maisa still ran down the narrow alley. Behind him were three men chasing after him. No one passed through that alley. One of them almost managed to catch Maisa's shirt.

Maisa rushes aside, twists her body, turns to kick the man's stomach, slams a heavy backpack into the head. One fell down, the girl still continued to run. Breathing violently. A little more almost on the wide road. All the fear running through his entire body had to be put aside, looking for a way to save himself.

A white sports bike almost hit Maisa. Luckily the rider immediately braked suddenly before hitting his body. The sound of tire squeaking rubbing with asphalt deafening ears.

Maisa's leaning her body against the roadside fence. Leaning his body on the telephone pole. Take a deep breath. The driver took off his helmet. The look on his face held in anger. Maisa was surprised to see it, but a little relieved.

Kio cursed in annoyance, barely bumping into Maisa. It does not rotate gas. His heart stopped beating when his motorbike a few inches away touched his sister. Kio got off his bike and approached Maisa.

"Daddy, bego! If you want to die don't take others with you either."

The four male thugs coming out of the alley managed to catch up with Maisa with gasping breaths. The four pointed their index finger at him. They look more scary than ever. Kio looked at the thug and Maisa took turns. It looks sour.

"God! So they're new toys, huh? Find a dong-level one if you want to mess around." Kio's voice sounded cynical.

“I used to go through here. So do not know if there are goons here,” Maisa replied a little clumsy, still trying to catch her breath.

Kio added glaring at his sister. What a foolish girl, still dares to go through the silent path. I knew it was a woman. Maisa just looked down. It seems Kio is angry at him.

“This girl is our part. Beware if you dare to disturb us.” The thug boss laughed stifledly. His hand pointed at Maisa.

"Sat! Don't touch my sister!" kio Serapah.

The part? Kio's looks hardened. His teeth were clenching to hold back his anger. Dare to touch his sister. Only he can bully Maisa. Maisa smiled happily at Kio's confession.

“This kid is looking for our same thing. Get him all!”

The thugs took a piece of wood, attacking Kio blindly. Kio retaliated against the thugs attack. The thug boss approaches Maisa, trying to attack her. Maisa dodged, launching a counterattack.

“Uhm... Thank you, sister, for helping" said Maisa while wiping her sweat with a tissue.

Kio only let out a long sigh and passed from before Maisa, taking out his helmet mounted in the rearview mirror. The girl looked at Kio's wide back. Suddenly Maisa hugged from behind. The helmet Kio was holding fell.

“What's playing hug. Release!” he ordered in a cold tone, picking up the helmet that fell in front of his feet.

“Sister Kio!” maisa said slowly. He leaned his head against Kio's back. The smell of musk piercing his sense of smell made him calm. His hands were clutching Kio's shirt.

Brother Kio is warm!

Kio was getting upset. The man intended to release Maisa's hand which was coiled around her waist, but was undo. His sister's hands look shaky. Letting Maisa hug him for a while. Some motorists whistling past thought the two lovers were drunk with romance. Like the telenovela.

Maisa chuckled looking at her brother's reddened face. Kio quickly put on a helmet, covering his face withstanding embarrassment. His hand released Maisa's embrace. He immediately approached the motor and turned on the engine. Kio moves his head hinting to ride the bike. Kio's motor is speeding. Maisa hugged her waist tightly.

“Kak Kio's. I love you same brother. It's so unfortunate!" maisa as loud as possible. Some people who happened to pass by turned towards him. Maisa's face flushed red, hiding her face behind Kio's back.

“Basic bego. Shouting in the street like crazy" said Kio as he increased the speed of his bike. The corner of his lips formed a smile.

Maisa glanced at the wall clock installed in her room. The clock still shows at 20:00. It's not too late yet. He rolled around in his bed. Staring at the ceiling of his room and imagining the bad events that had happened to him earlier this afternoon. The feeling of fear is still haunting. All the bad thoughts one by one appeared in his head. When he thought of Kio, he smiled to himself. It was unexpected that his older brother would help him.

Without realizing it, Kio, who was standing in front of the door of his room that was open, was watching him with question marks in his mind.

“What the hell is in your empty head?” kio's words surprised Maisa.

Maisa sat on the edge of the bed. Looking at Kio with a big smile. The man felt rattled like it was a waste of face.

Maisa rushed over to her brother, hugging Kio's arm tightly. Kio was shocked instead of playing and trying to escape. His sister suddenly became spoiled making him goosebumps.

“What did you eat last afternoon, heh!” says angry.

Instead of letting go, Maisa instead tightened her embrace. “Sister! I just want to hold you for a second! I just miss my sister. Since living at the grandmother's house, Papa and brother have never visited. I miss you guys so much. I always think of you guys. And now I'm here with you. I'm so happy. My wish has finally been fulfilled as well. Can't I hug my sister for just a minute.”

Kio choked to hear Maisa's words. He doesn't know what to answer. Let her Maisa embrace herself with all her blue hilarious feelings. His hand patted his sister's head slowly. Maisa then let go of her embrace.

“Oh, yes. What is it gonna take, Brother Kio to my room?” ask her while smiling.

“Not so!” answer Kio briefly.

Kio was about to step his foot out, but stopped. "Oh... I've reported the thugs to the police. Luckily there was CCTV footage on that street. So no need to worry anymore."

"really? Thank you, Brother."

Maisa intends to hug her again, but Kio manages to dodge. After saying that, he hurried away leaving Maisa's room. Seeing her sister well was enough. The girl tilted her head, a little confused looking at her disappearance. Surprised by her sister's slightly different attitude today. Maybe he was worried.

The wall clock shows the time at 12 p.m. Kio still can't sleep. Maisa's words were still ringing in her ears. Not want to be lost from his memory.

“Oh... Come on's. Don't think about anything weird. Actually why the hell am I? Why are you thinking so much about Maisa?"

Kio then threw his pillow in annoyance. His mind was not willing to compromise. The younger brother who was left behind for fifteen years thought so highly of Kio. All this time he never thought about his sister even a little. How much she suffered the girl did not meet her own family for fifteen years. But the shadow of his mother flashed also made his heart ache. The boy had taken away his beloved mother.
