The Winged Angel

12. Occurrences in the past.

Today I have to extract everything from Tobi.

"You mean Toni and Aris like me?" I ask with my eyes probing.

"If we were the same age. I also want to make you my girlfriend Selena. Not just them," he blushed.

"I'm too old for you Tobi." I laughed at the innocence of that shoulder-length curly-haired young man. He also laughed.

"Yes I know."

"Come on Tobi, we're fishing out to sea. I'd love to feel the boat ride."

Tobi nodded. He pointed towards the pier.

"But we don't have to go too far in the middle."

"No problem. Is there a fishing line?"

"There was. Toni always keeps it in the barn." Tobi pointed towards the small building that was above the pier.

On the docks, the great ships I had seen were no longer visible. Only a few small motorboats remained. Tobias and I entered a building he called a barn.

"Where are the ships that are usually here?"

"Which do you mean?"

"The bigger rental ship says Samuel."

"Owh .. may be hired by foreign tourists. The ships have never been here long. It's a fishing rod for you," he told me. He himself grabbed a spear.

"What did you bring that for?"

"This is my fishing rod. You'll see how I fish later," he chuckled.

I grimaced in horror with my head shaking.

Tobi jumped into the boat. I also went into it. The raw man was so agile as to untie the rope that tied the boat to the shipyard.

"If only Mister Sam and Madam knew I'd be smart to use this boat. They probably won't let you be friends with me anymore, Selena?"

"Why?"

"I could have taken you away. Ahaha!" he laughed crisply while turning on the machine. "That's why you have to keep our secret."

"of course. We could have escaped by now," I said slowly swallowed by the sound of a loud boat engine. I smiled at Tobias from behind.

Our boat was cruising above sea level. The noise of the engine and the roar of the sea breeze made me and Tobi have to speak aloud in order to hear each other.

The boat engine is now turned off. The motorboat we rode floated in the middle of the ocean with calm waves. Tobias took off his shirt until he left boxer pants on his thin muscular body.

"I'll get you some bait fishing for a minute." Tobias stood at the stern of the boat holding the long spear he had brought from the barn.

Suddenly .... Byuurr!! I haven't spoken yet, Tobias' body has jumped into the water with the spear in hand.

The sea breeze blew. Seagulls flying in the sky. My body was swayed by the waves toying with the body of the boat. Tobi's head appeared above the surface of the water to take a breath. That's great kid.

"Can!!" shout Tobi.

Tobi's soaking wet face suddenly appeared to the surface of the water. Surprised me who was waiting for him. One hand Tobi brandished the spearhead. The boy had managed to get a fish of considerable size.

One, two, three, four, five. Tobias gets five fish in a matter of minutes. It's great! I applauded him.

"If it's this easy you get fish. I don't need to fish anymore!" me thronging him.

***

It's tender, savory, delicious. My eyes are blinking enjoy. Tobi burned a few more fish. We were still on a boat floating on the water.

"Repent you? From the beginning you always refused every time I took a fishing trip," said Tobi as he glanced at me.

I'm shaking. "I have no regrets. You never took me in before" I said, continuing to chew fish meat.

I want to provoke Tobi's honesty. The boy seemed busy turning back the body of the fish on the grill made of used pans. The charcoal glows redder as Tobi fans with a cardboard paper tear. Smoke from combustion billows in the wind.

"Tobi .. You said earlier, you could have taken me away. If you want to take me away, where are you planning on going?"

"Selena .. I'm just kidding" she said weakly.

"But I'm serious."

"All are mature. Let's spend it." Tobi moved the fish he burned onto the plate.

"I don't like the people in that house." I look at his face. "Tobi Jawab! Do you know where the safe place is for me?"

"I-I don't understand what you mean Selena. Better finish your fish off. After this we go home. Madam will be angry with me."

The grill that is still burning it is flush with a small bucket of water, until a noise is heard. Black smoke billowed for a moment.

Tobias let out a breath. Sitting in front of me began to pinch the meat of the fish that was still warm. We both then kept quiet. I let Tobi enjoy the food.

"What do you want most right now, Tobi?"

"Hmm ... What is it?" He pretended to be thinking with his mouth full of fish meat.

"How much do you want to meet your birth mother?"

For a moment he was silent. His mouth stopped chewing.

"I miss Mama very much" she said sadly.

"Your mother must miss you now." I tried to influence the young man's feelings.

"Why do you love covering your hair? Your hair is so good, Selena." Tobias diverts the conversation.

"Because I'm not Selena!"

Tobias's eyeballs are rounded.

"I knew I wasn't Selena" I said again.

"You ...."

"Tobias .. I already know everything. Don't lie to me anymore. Selena is dead. His grave is sheltered in the rose that you flush this morning."

"Mirina ...."

"Stop calling me Selena! I'm losing Tobi's memory. But that doesn't mean I'm stupid. You have all deceived me" I said angrily.

Tobias looked at me.

"I knew Madam Alice was crazy for Selena's death. Mister Sam wants to make me his son's replacement."

My tears fell one by one.

"You know Tobi?! My brains will be washed soon! All my memories will be erased!!" my screams were shaking, sobbing.

"I'm sorry ...," he said weakly.

Seriate.
