The Night Butterfly
Episodes 10



Bram recalled the events twenty years ago. Where he's still in a white-and-blue uniform. That afternoon when she came home from school, Bram waited for a girl he liked. The girl was tidying her books in a bag. Unexpectedly, there were some students dragging him all the way to the back of the school building. One punch landed on Bram's face.


Not until there, the man blindly beat Bram. The man who is thick and teary eyes can only resign. He could not fight, since Bram was very timid, shy, he rarely mingled with others. The hand of the boy who beat Bram, gripped his collar until the weak man stood up straight.


"God! Listen this is fine. You stay away from Ayunda! Or I wouldn't hesitate to hit you more than this, you know!" shouted the man while glaring sharply.


"I'm not going to stay away from him!" With the rest of Bram's energy answered.


"Oh .. Do you dare? Want me to beat you up again?" screech, his hands were already clenched in the air.


Bram smiled obliquely, making the man's anger peak. Without warning, he hit Bram again. This time, Bram did not stay silent. He repaid all the blows he received. They're fighting. The two friends were just busy watching without wanting to separate. Bram and the man complained of strength. No one loses and wants to give up.


Until the shrill voice of the girl they liked sounded clear. They stopped hitting each other. The two boys wiped the corners of each other's lips. Then stand up and clean up the clothes. He saw Ayunda was tracing the waist. His round eyes seemed to be out of place. Bram and the man swallowed the seliva of distress. They believe that soon they will be scolded.


Ayunda walked up to them with a hunting breath. Arriving in front of them, Ayunda raised a murderous gaze for the two. Really, the look of the beautiful girl seemed to be able to kill someone he was staring at.


"God! What are you not ashamed of? It's still a big fight too. Geez, until it's battered like this? You guys are not sane?" cerca Ayunda shook her head.


Bram and his rival looked at each other. Anxiety murats were clearly visible on their bruised faces. Love can make someone crazy, right?


"Who started first?" asked Ayunda, her tone had gone up an octave.


The two men pointed at each other, blaming each other. Dare not to speak. That's how scared they are of Ayunda.


"Oh .. So no one wants to say what? Biaklah, I'll-"


"I'm the one who started," cut the man down quickly.


"What's the reason you beat up Bram?"


"I don't like him being close to you. He doesn't deserve you, Yu. He's ugly, fat, what's nice of him" he sneered without a burden.


Bram glared in annoyance at her. Ayunda smiled faintly at the man's confession. Who would agree that Bram is handsome? Think Ayunda.


"Excuse each other! Keep you straight home!" ayunda said firmly.


They can only obey. The charm of Ayunda really makes them captivated. The two shake hands with each other. Although the faces of the two invited each other to war. Their eyebrows clutched and a cynical smile rang from the lips of the two.


The man and his two friends left the school. Ayunda invites Bram to sit on a bench in the school garden. They sit side by side. Ayunda runs into UKS. Then take a small box to treat Bram's wounds.


Arriving at the park, Ayu immediately sat down and opened the small box. Put betadin on Bram's face. The man grimaced a little. His finger wanted to wipe his wounds, but the sharp gaze from Ayunda ignited his intentions.


"Bram .. You're a man. Fight those who want to hurt you. It's always like this. I'm the one you need to protect, not the other way around" joked Ayunda chuckling.


****


Bram regained his senses from his daydream. He hesitated to tell Ayunda that. Perhaps, this woman in front of him would not remember a cowardly man like him. Ayunda sat down restlessly. Looking forward to Bram's answer.


"I'm Bramasta Atmadja, do you remember that name?" ask Bram suddenly.


Ayunda thought a little. Recollecting his memory from his old school days. Yeah, he's convinced that Bram is one of his schoolmates. Ayunda has no friends other than at school. Ayunda completely forgot, who this man in front of her was.


"Already, Yu. I expected it, you must have forgotten me," he said in a disappointed tone.


"I'm sorry ...," she replied.


"It's okay, Yu. Yasudah, I go home first. I'll tell you again about myself sometime" she said as she moved from her seat.


Ayunda took Bram to the front door. He closed the door after Bram's car left his garage. Ayunda immediately entered her room to rest. Today was exhausting.


The beautiful woman laid her body on the bed. Look at the ceiling of the room. I don't know why Bram said pain in his heart. It was a disappointment that the man showed. Ayunda recalled the names of all her schoolmates. Long Ayunda thought about it, until finally he fell asleep.


******


While in the car, Bram kept thinking. Should he tell Ayunda everything tomorrow? The jolly and fierce girl who had already stolen his heart. However, there is fear in Bramasta. Afraid Ayunda would reject him like they used to be Junior High.


That's the strong reason, why until this moment, Bram has not been married. In fact, when his parents were still alive, Bram was often asked to immediately find a mate. However, Bram insists on finding Easy Ayunda, the only woman he wants to marry.


Until Bram asks someone to find his girl. After getting accurate information, Bram immediately went to the Club where Ayunda worked. Bram's eyes sparkled happily. When he saw the person he had been looking for, it was in front of his eyes.


Bram promised that from now on, he would never let go of Ayunda again. He won't lose to any man. May fate not play tricks on him again. He remembered the incident when he saw Ayunda hanging out at the party with someone else.


That was after school. Bram is giving chocolate to Ayunda. However, upon arriving there, Bram found Ayunda's house full of people. Then, he ventured to come closer to those people. How surprised he was, seeing Ayunda wearing a white kebaya next to a man.


The chocolate Bram was holding fell. He stepped on the chocolate as his hands clenched. Pain that exceeds anything. The beautiful net was already a little wet. At the age of 17 years, Bram has been very understanding with the feeling of love. From then on, Bram became someone who was cold towards women. He is determined to transform himself into someone who is handsome and successful. So that someday, Ayunda can glance at him as a man.


Too long nostalgic, until Bram did not focus on the wheel. The road is already quite stretchy, making Bram spur the vehicle is quite high. Until in the end, a truck from the opposite direction, appeared suddenly at full speed as well.


Bram was surprised, then as hard as he tried to avoid. However, fate cannot be prevented. Bram slammed his steering wheel towards the right of the road. Yes, something must happen to Bramasta Atmadja.


Elsewhere, Ayunda awoke suddenly. Sweat pours from his forehead. His feelings became unsettled. For some reason, the shadow of Bram's face appeared in his mind. Ayunda tried to call the man. However, the intended number could not be contacted at all.


Dew is tangling in Ayunda's eye pelup. The woman felt an overwhelming fear. Afraid that tomorrow he won't see Bram again. The man who caught his attention.
