The Stunning My Life

Sprained

I'm Sophia. And now I'm eighteen.

I just finished my school. Right now, I am waiting for my job application letter to be accepted. I hope I am accepted.

I still live with Bulik Susan and Mini. But I promised them to move out soon after I built my own house.

I actually managed to buy a piece of land earlier this year. It is not too broad, but enough to make a minimalist home. And where do I get the money? It's because I tried so hard.

***

This weekend Mini and her boyfriend took me on vacation to a tourist spot on the mountainside. Kata Mini, there is a lake, a flower garden, to a local market that offers typical food.

Mini's boyfriend has a dark green private jeep. He's two years older than us. Mini and her boyfriend started dating three years ago. I also saw him mourning when Paklik Seto died.

Haris is a good man. He is loyal and accepts Mini as is. Mini used to have a fat body. But since she was determined to diet, now she had a slim body that was almost the same as mine.

I also do not know since when I began to judge my body as something thankful. My thin, dry body is now a little more volume.

That is the result of eating hours on time and eating something nutritious. I never add to my meal either. But I want to eat this as long as it's halal and healthy. I try and believe that I can be beautiful later. And it was proven.

The three of us were still on our way to the tourist spot.

“Beb, anyway later we have to hunt a lot of photos!” Mini leaning gently on the left arm of Haris who was driving.

“OK, Baby. Anyway I'll take all sides of your cuteness.” Reply Haris smiled.

“You didn't forget to bring the camera, did you?” ask Mini to her boyfriend.

“Ngot forgot, dong…. I brought the most advanced camera anyway.”

“Oh, seriously?”

“Yes, of course.”

I smiled thinly. “Ati-ati lo, Ni. If the camera is too sophisticated, not only the cute side that you managed to snatch Haris, but also to your warts. Large pores are the same as your feet can also be clearly visible. Kan, not funny,” my chandelier.

“Begging in duct tape is your mouth!” mini Gertak to me.

I chuckled, and continued reading the book trying to ignore them.

“Beb, don't stick around, dong…. Not good to see Sophia,” Haris chirps on Mini who is still leaning on her arm.

“Biarin. Who told you to be single? Too pretty that is useless.”

I sighed, then stared lazily at Mini who was still a stamp attached to her boyfriend's left arm. “Lo muji or ngehina me?”

“Two.” Mini answered, turned to me, then smiled with narrowed eyes.

“Don't stick and kayak lizard on the wall. Haris is driving, no…. If hit can be bad entar.”

“Iya nih, Beb. Entar aja nempelnya if already nyampe place,” timpal Haris.

I chuckle. Although Haris is kind and pretty handsome, but he's not my type at all. Seeing the way Haris and Mini date it just makes me quite nauseous.

Arriving at the location…

“Phi, later at 3 pm we meet again here,” exciting Mini to me.

I just got out of the car and looked at my cousin who looked stupid. “Find at 3 pm? Meaning?” many confused.

Mini sighed heavily while rolling her eyeballs. “Lo time you want to be dating people, anyway? Like a paud child, deh.”

“So we scatter, nih?” I looked at Mini and Haris. They smiled mischievously, then nodded.

“As of you, deh. But watch out if I come back!”

“Neither time. Actually I'm afraid that you were kidnapped just like om-om here. You're still plain,” said Mini, then blinked at me.

God, how many times has Mini blasphemed me today? I have a cousin who is very nice. “Iya, dong…. I've always brushed if there are kiss scenes in drakor. No kayak lo!!!” My reply grinned at Mini.

Mini looked at Haris embarrassedly, and I held back the laughter of seeing him.

“What brand? There are even those who look at it. Perverted ketawan kan lo now,” sangkal Mini accuse.

I widened my eyes at Mini. And damn, Haris looks grim there. “Minion, you know that slander is more cruel than murder!?” I cringe.

“Whatever you want, Shark Sop. I'm not following.” Mini rushed to take Haris away.

I stood staring at the expanse of cliffs covered in greenery. The atmosphere in the mountains refreshes the view and the head. In addition to the cool air, the feeling also feels very calm.

One minute. Two minutes. I flicked the hood of my coat. I closed my eyes feeling the cold creeping beside my neck.

I inhaled a long breath of fresh air there, then swallowed it slowly through my mouth. I started to open my eyes, then smiled at the scene ahead.

“Cantics.” Someone's voice made me look at him.

A tall man with a canon camera was standing at my right. I could see the man's face. And I think he's very, very handsome.

The man smiled, looking away at the scene there. “The view is beautiful,” obviously makes me aware of kege'eran.

I lowered my smiling eyes. My stupid brain that so easily tricked like that??? Beautiful, I think the compliment was for me. True said Mini, I was still plain. But innocence and moron aren't much different, are they?

The man thrust his right hand at me. Okay, now I don't want to be an innocent and a moron anymore. That guy must not be as good as he looks. I don't want to meet him.

I also chose to ignore the stranger. I looked at him lazily, then walked away past him.

***

I stepped into what he said was the most iconic place there. I put the cord earphones in both my ears, covering the hood of the coat jacket to the head.

I arrived at a flower garden. He said it was the most special place of local tourism there. But why so quiet? I also rested my legs sitting on black-painted iron benches provided on several sides of the park.

I leaned back, put both my hands in my coat pocket, and then I sat down to enjoy a song by The Overtunes.

One minute. Someone suddenly grabbed my right earphone. I was surprised, then looked to the left.

There, the man who had just sat down. He's wearing one side of my earphones. His eyes were closed as if he was really enjoying his music.

I immediately turned off the Talk song from my phone. The man also looked. “Why be killed?” ask with a surprised face.

I smiled briefly. “Lo who, anyway?”

The man sighed. “So taught that acquaintances do not want. Now be kepo, right.”

“Gue seriously nanya. Don't-don't you lo crooks, huh???” accuse me of being scared.

“Wah, no manners huh lo! The time of people as cool and as handsome as gini in the case of criminals?”

“Apaan, anyway. Lo crazy, huh? Must be a pervert, right? Pake sok bring the camera again. Well, your camera is weird, right? Or don't-don't.., you take my pictures, huh? Ngaku lo!!!”

The man snorted. “How bad you accuse me of like that.”

***

I dashed to avoid the strange man whose origins were unclear. But somehow he still kept chasing me. I walked without direction. I was really scared and I couldn't think straight.

And now, I'm lost in a fruit field. I looked back with a breath of gasping for the strange male figure earlier. I'm grateful that he doesn't seem to follow me anymore.

One step. Two steps. Suddenly I fell onto the muddy grass. “Ah..., why is the fate of gini so great, anyway?” my sighs are upset.

My shoes, jeans, and coat jacket looked dirty from the mud. I tried to stand up, but my right ankle seemed to be sprained. Really bad luck.

I immediately checked my phone to ask Mini and Haris for help. And worse, there was no signal at all.

I really can't do anything. But it wouldn't be funny if I had to be constantly stranded in people's orchards. I don't know whose orchard I went into. But apparently, no one crossed.

“Please…! Is anyone here???”

“Please!!”

I was screaming for help.

One minute. Two minutes. I heard the sound of twigs being stepped on. I froze up. Is it not a wild animal?

“Hai,” greeting someone feels very close to my ear.

I reflexively turned my head to the source of the voice. I stared into the eyes of a man who smiled so sweetly. Five seconds. “Regularly see it. Never seen a handsome guy, huh?” ocehniah.

“Lo why do I keep following, anyway?”

The man refused to answer. He noticed my right ankle that I was holding. “Sick?” tanyanya turned to me.

“Neg. It doesn't hurt.” Answer's clumsy.

The man also stood up. “Ya, already. Then you can go back by yourself, right?”

“Bi-can.”

The man walked slowly away from me. Huh huh? Seriously will he leave me?

I tried to stand up to follow him. "God…." Unfortunately, my feet cannot be compromised. Moving it just a little is already painful, let alone made to walk and stand. Huh, sucks.

I held my sprained ankle. I held back the crybaby and sucked the snot that almost came out. Suddenly, the man stood in front of me.

I stared at his dongker blue nike shoes, then looked up. He was also squatting in front of me. “That's a cry."

One sec. Two seconds. The man started to carry me to his back. I just kept watching how to help me. “Handle,” said send.

I started to put my hands around the neck of the stranger. And he began to walk out of the orchard.

“Lo really heavy, anyway?” said the man kept holding me.

“Gue only 45 kilos. Weight time, anyway?”

“45 Kilos if the calorie content is all heavy.”

“Lo think I'm what? Cassava? Sweet potatoes?”

The man laughed.

***

We arrived at a bamboo post. I was dropped off slowly there. Then, the man sat down pulling his hands back as a buffer. His breath sounded a little breathless. Quickly, the streets were uphill, and he was also carrying me. Must be exhausting.

“Still, yes. I'm sorry to accuse you of being a no-no,” I said I felt sinful to the foreign man who turned out to be a good man.

She's staring. “Lo's foot still hurts?”

“Still, anyway.”

“Lo wait here, don't go anywhere. Ten minutes I will come back here again,” he said, then walk away.

***

I was still alone waiting at that green painted bamboo post. I tried to check my phone. And again, the signal is still none.

I looked down, smiling. “Apaan, anyway? Screwed my brain!” my mumbling rambled, then shook my head.

Five minutes. Ten minutes. The man arrived with a man cupped to his head.

“Mbah, so he's the one with his leg sprained.”

The old man called Mbah also approached me. “Cah Ayu, where did your sister sing hurt?” the tanya is mixed with Javanese dialect.

“I-ini.” I hesitated to show my right ankle.

“Tole, you hold Cah Ayu there.”

“Hold, Mbah?” The man looked confused, then hesitated to sit beside me. He's got my shoulder.

“Aaan, anyway?” I put the man's hand away.

“Cah Ayu, iki later will be sick temenan, loh...,” said the Mbah to me. I knew that he would massage my sprained leg, but there was no need for that strange man to hold me.

“Udah just his feet, Mbah,” tell the strange man to look at me lightly.

Mbah also grabbed my right leg that was not in shoes. He started to press my wrists.

I don't know if being massaged feels like some of these dead. I closed my eyes close my mouth not to scream.

However, the massage is getting more painful. I grabbed the strange man's black jacket, tightly clenched it to the point of suffocating him.

One minute. Two minutes. Three minutes. Mbah also finished his massage. I breathe a sigh of relief.

“Where, Cah Ayu? Okay, to?”

I tried to move my right ankle. I smile. “Iya, Mbah. Mature suwun sanget.” My real answer is that I know a lot about Javanese.

The Mbah smiled.

“Still yes, Mbah,” said a strange man also smiled.

Then I sit down and leave.

“He doesn't ask for payment, huh?” my chirps were still staring at the old man in the armband who was getting away.

“Udah I paid in earlier,” between strange men answer me.

I looked at him. “How much? It's me replace.” I'm gonna get my wallet out of my coat pocket.

“Neventless. I'm really happy to payinnya.”

Is there a guy like him today? “Still.”

The man smiled. “It’s okey.” [ ]
