The flashback
United States
On a bright and warm day this summer many people spend their time by going to the beach. Many parents take their children to the beach that is often visited by people in America, namely the beach Piedras Blanca located in the city of California.
The sweep of the waves makes the sand of the beach carried by the clear blue water currents. Seen from a distance there are three children whose age is estimated to be around 6 years old, playing chases. They seemed to enjoy the game so much, that the sound of laughter sounded melodious from the mouths of the three children.
Three of the children, one of whom was a woman. The girl was so beautiful when the sun hit her head, the reflection of sunlight on the face of the proslen tub was shining that made many people amazed. His smile broke when he saw his two best friends whose gender was a man who was watching himself with a smile.
"To Sarga! Ka Arsen's! Let's go after Ica again!" She exclaimed excitedly, after which the girl laughed and ran as the two boys came back after her.
Ica the name of the child, keep running until he arrived at the beach slightly deep. Ica increasingly walked to the middle with full of her cheerful laughter, the boy was very carefree as his eyes unintentionally saw from afar a small wave approaching him. He did not stay away, but instead the brave boy waited for the waves.
While behind him, Sarga and Arsen almost reached it. Before long they smiled when they had managed to catch Ica who was cool to enjoy the breeze of the beach and wait for the small waves to hit him.
"Nah Ica managed to catch Arsen," he said making Ica reflex turned around.
"Now Ica has lost." It was Sarga's voice, Ica who heard Sarga's words just pursed her lips so it looked very worrisome in Arsen's eyes. Then the boy pinched the cheek of the Ica padlock.
"Auu! Ka Arsen was sick, tau," the boy nodded while hitting Arsen weakly.
The weak blow from Ica made the girl directly ridiculed by Arsen.
"Geez it turns out Ica's energy is weak. Isn't it Ga?"
Sarga nodded confirming Arsen's speech. Ica who saw it instantly turned her face away, but at the time the boy was staring straight at the expanse of sea water, he said, his eyes immediately widened when he got the wave that he saw from a distance it turned out to be close in front of him which one second will hit him and with the size of the wave was larger than he saw earlier.
Ica, who knew that it was very dangerous for Sarga and Arsen's safety, immediately pushed the two boys away from the beach. It was a pity, even though he had saved both of them, but not with him. Ica had to give up on herself for the safety of others. So the boy was swept by the waves into the middle of the ocean.
Sarga and Arsen who saw Ica being pulled by the ocean currents immediately screeched. The boy's head sank, his hands waving in the air asking for help. He felt his consciousness dwindling, his nose and mouth without being able to prevent being entered by water.
"Let'soo!!!!!" Shouted Arsen and Sarga together.
Arsen who was most panicked when he saw Nisa getting dragged by the current. Unwittingly the boy had his tears melted when he saw his most beloved female companion in a critical and emergency time.
"People should seek the help of others. Let's split up.." take Arsen and run to find an adult to help Ica.
Sarga did not immediately carry out Arsen's orders. He stared silently at Arsen's back, he could see his friend was very worried about Ica. The boy's eyes looked sad, he glanced at Ica into the ocean who was seen trying to survive on a wooden trunk that was washed away near the beach.
"You look so worried Sen!" He said in a hoarse tone, "where I am wretched, I have never seen you so worried about me. It's true that I think you like Ica" the boy murmured.
After being satisfied with his own monologue, Sarga just ran to find help to save Nisa.
"Sir! Sir! Sir! Please my friend who was drifting there sir," said Arsen pleading as he pointed towards Nisa who could no longer bear to pause by surviving near a small piece of wood.
"Good deck. Adek do not have to worry because we are a diver, we will definitely save a good friend."
The man and his friends stared at Nisa, the man immediately swiftly ran towards the beach. Arsen can breathe with relief when he gets the right person to help his best friend, he thought this would be his last moment with his most beloved person in the world.
"Show could you."
Arsen ran over to the crowd to watch the divers rescue Nisa. He broke through the crowd to stand in the front row, the boy standing beside Sarga who had arrived first.
"May Ica be safe, God."
Sarga who heard Arsen's tone filled with pleas also glanced to the side. There was a setting a little unwilling to see Arsen who was so attentive with Ica, then he looked back at Ica who was being sought by divers to bring the girl to the beach.
He stared lazily when Ica managed to be raised to the beach and carried to the expanse of land for further assistance.
"Hopefully Ica could not be saved" Sarga said softly barely audible by normal hearing.
Arsen who unintentionally heard Sarga's vague murmur frowned.
"What did you say?"
"No. I didn't say anything."
"You're sure. I obviously heard you say something, Sarga I don't want to hear if there's a lie."
"It's up to you to believe it or not. I don't care, obviously I didn't say anything." Sarga cuekly left Arsen.
Arsen snorted at the sight of his friend. But he did not bother with it, he was used to Sarga's attitude which always was so. I don't know why Sarga is always sensitive to seeing him if he is close to Ica.
The man approached Ica who had been lying on the sandy soil. He crouched down next to Ica, then his hand touched Ica's cheek. As his hands touched directly with the smooth cheeks Ica could feel an unstable heart tremor in her chest.
"Adek buddies must be given artificial breath to save his life." Arsen immediately moved his hand away from Ica's cheek, then looked at the person who gave the voice.
"So who should give him artificial breath?" Arsen asked as he stared intently at the man, "didn't you give it to him? I don't want you to give her artificial breath."
"So who would give her a breath, if not dealt with quickly maybe something will happen to her?"
"Let me give him his breath!"
Suddenly all the people gathered there immediately looked at Sarga. The 7-year-old boy's face looked very serious, there was absolutely no doubt in his eyes.
Arsen immediately stood up and approached Sarga with his face bent, "no. I don't agree if you give artificial breath to Ica, let me give it."
The boy immediately approached Ica, without hesitation and embarrassment on his face as he brought the lips closer to Nisa's lips and gave a breath of life to the little girl. One second later their lips officially united, and Arsen with the effort of giving a breath to Nisa.
While on the other side Sarga who was looking at it with a very close distance, her face turned hot, she clenched her hands tightly. His unhappy expression over the scene grew as he saw Ica coming out of her stupor and hugging Arsen in tears.
"Silent... Ica can't cry, ka Arsen is next to Ica, and will always be there for good." Unknowingly Arsen had said his promise solemnly on the open field.
"Ka Arsen promised," Ica asked as she opened her eyelids to confirm the seriousness of Arsen's speech just now.
"Ka Arsen promised."
"Can't you stop this disgusting drama. Arsen you better take Ica home before you take Aunt Desi."
Arsen and Ica looked at Sarga who was irritated by their closeness. They smiled and looked amused Sarga who was misbehaving herself.

On a clear morning and the distinctive aroma of the morning was still smelling, a group of small children had gathered in the park that became their playground.
"Let's say what flowers?" Sarga asked Nisa timidly.
Nisa looked at Sarga who was sitting next to her. He smiled when asked his favorite flower, then the child pointed towards the garden that was overgrown with white jasmine flowers.
"I like that flower. Beautiful shape, beautiful color. It smells so sweet. Anyway Ica likes the flower, besides Ica also feel jasmine flowers symbolize purity through their white color and are highly appreciated through their shape and fragrance, as well, they have their own attraction to make a lot of people interested in it. Ica wants to be like a jasmine."
Sarga stared at the jasmine flower, then a twitch on both sides of the child's lips was attracted.
"So you like jasmine flowers? Well, since I already know your favorite flower, then I'll go first." Sarga quickly like a gust of wind immediately ran away leaving Ica who was shouting at him.
"Ka Sarga wants to do something!!! How run?"
The boy ran to a big tree in the garden. He approached the man who was waiting for him behind the tree.
"Hows it? You get what's Ica's favorite flower?"
"Yes I got it. Ica really likes jasmine flowers at the end of the garden," Sarga explained to the person who had ordered her to find out Ica's favorite flowers.
"You're sure he likes those jasmine flowers?"
"Yes I'm sure Arsen, he himself told me."
Arsen patted Sarga on the shoulder with an unceasing smile on his face.
"Thank you for helping me."
Sarga smiled wryly from a distance while watching with her naked eyes Arsen pluck the jasmine flowers, then handed the flowers to Ica. His heart was burning to see that, he was wrong himself that Arsen wanted to use to ask for Ica's favorite flower.
Like there are small pinches on his chest when he had to see a very romantic scene for children their age to do it. He could not bear to see that anymore, obviously he who was always next to Arsen when the man was in a difficult time, now the man was happy and he was thrown away. He is not willing, he has to act.
Sarga approached them and took the jasmine flower in the hand of Ica given by Arsen, then stepped on it until it was completely out of shape.
"What the fuck do you mean Sarga," angered Arsen as he threw his fist at Sarga so that the boy fell down.
Ica who saw the incident immediately dispelled Arsen when the boy again wanted to punch Sarga.
"Ka Arsen please stop. Poor ka Sarga."
"Come don't stop me. I wanted to teach him a lesson for having been presumptuous to damage the jasmine flower" Arsen said with a hunting breath.
"There are many more flowers there."
Arsen did not have time to say, but suddenly he reviewed Sarga so that Ica who saw it was crying.
"Sister...." He sighed while sobbing.
But the two boys who had both been burning with anger did not care about Ica's cries. They continued the smashing activities until the final Arsen won, while Sarga fell down with bruises all over his body.
"Don't stop," Nisa said with a slightly hopeful tone.
"Why did you step on that flower?"
"I don't like to see you close to Nisa. Sen you never feel that all this time I've been hurt by your closeness with Ica."
"You mean?"
"As you know, I was willing to endure my pain when you told me about Ica in front of me, I was always by your side when you needed something. But what's your reply to me? Sen I love you," I'm Sarga.
Sontak Ica and Arsen immediately glared at Sarga's confession. Arsen gave a deadly smile and then again hit Sarga's face firmly.
"You're a nutcase Sarga. You better not be friends with us anymore, your best place is a mental hospital. I think you need to treat your aberrant disease." Arsen said with a trivial look to Sarga, "Ica we better get out of here."
"But brother...." Ica fell silent stiff as Arsen quickly led her away from there.
"Review you Ica!!!! I'll make you suffer your whole life....."
