"Lu why then?" cavin asked Mario who was now looking down like he was thinking of something.
It's been a few hours since their trial was held at school and each of them got punished.
Shortly after, Brian, who managed to get the basketball into the ring, finally sat closer. They used to play basketball on the Cavin family's court.
"Why lo?" Brian asked too.
"Gue thought about Mike." said Mario then threw his eyes in a direction.
"Lo didn't expect it, did he?. If Mike gets Martin's thump?"
Mario is silent, he confirmed Brian's remarks.
"Just let Martin and his gang know themselves. Don't be great at school." said Cavin.
"Tuh. I'm just like them, I swear. Mampus was already battered by Michael." Brian chimpal.
"Mike if the same temen, can be as much as it is."
Mario's tone of voice sounded very regretful what had been done, by his second brother Michael. This made Cavin and Brian turn to him.
"Wait, koq lo horrornya like disappointed that anyway. He has done elo, bro." said Cavin while staring at Mario.
"Yes, because right now I'm someone else, not his sister. Inget not what I did, about me fighting the same class next door, fit still in our era. He didn't believe me at all, even though I was all hurt. Even I was scolded, anjir. Though at that time they said Mike, because Mike had worked in a troubled company. I don't like them slandering Mike with a macem-macem."
Brian and Cavin look at each other, they don't know what to say to Mario. Everything he said about his second brother was true.
Michael's attitude was inversely proportional to the one they had been familiar with. To this day they still do not understand why Michael was so cold and rude to Mario. Mario is his own brother.
As for others, he can behave so well. In this day and age, Mario has the status of someone else for Michael. Although Mario has repeatedly touched on their lives in the future.
But that didn't make Michael believe enough. He only considers Mario as a child, who has a high level of imagination.
"Mariooo."
Suddenly Deddy shouted from the courtyard of the house. Mario, Brian, and Cavin were shocked and turned around.
"Why dad?"
"Eat first, what time is it?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Gue turned back the yak." Mario said to his two friends.
Cavin and Brian were smiling happily, they knew Mario had never felt this way. Where the parents look for him just to tell him to eat.
"Yes, Mike doesn't have to think about it. We don't know if this is a real age or just a dream. Take a good one, enjoy while you can.” Cavin said later.
Mario smiled and rushed home. Shortly after, Brian's cross-age parents also picked up his son.
"I don't see it either." Brian said, laughing.
"Gue was also the most daunted." jolly Cavin, a few seconds later....
"Caviiin." came a screaming voice from inside.
"No, what I said."
"Hahaha enjoy it while you can, Cav. I'm pulling yak."
"Yes."
Brian ran towards his cross-day old man.
"Eat Brian first, play later."
"Yes mi, this is Brian coming home with mom."
Brian grabbed his mother and walked towards the house. After Brian was far enough away, Cavin planned to go inside. But shortly thereafter,
"Braaac."
"Aaaaw."
The sound of falling followed by shouting, Cavin turned his head towards the road.
"Rabella?"
Cavin ran over to Ratna who had just fallen off the bike. He saw the girl moaning while holding her bleeding and bruised knee. His left hand suffered the same.
"It's Cav, sakiiit."
Without asking much, Cavin lifted the girl's body and took her to the yard.
"Wait here...!"
Cavin ran into the house, before long he came out with a P3K box. Ratna was still moaning in pain, while Cavin was only focusing on her injuries. He began to clean the wound with an antiseptic.
"Aaaw, sick."
Sometimes Ratna brushed off the teenage boy's hand, because it hurt so much. When the alcohol-based antiseptic touches the injured skin.
"Nothing at all."
"I don't see any rocks, Cav. Aawws."
"Yes, it's a little bit more."
Cavin then gave the wound medicine and wrapped it in gauze and bandages.
"Cavin, baby. Eat first."
Both of Cavin's neat-looking parents came out of the house to the car, they were surprised to see Ratna there.
"Loh, is there Ratna?. Why that?"
His mother and father approached.
"Fall down, mi." Cavin said.
"Oh, be careful" said the mother again.
"Yes, aunt." answered Ratna.
"Where are you going?" cavin asked the two old men across the ages.
"You'll see his client papi. Just pick up your sister, Davin. Today he's coming home from Australia."
"Sister?"
Cavin does not know if in this era, his life is set to have an older brother. He only knew he was an only child.
"Don't tell me you're amnesiac like Mario. Who sometimes does not want who he is, whose friends, whose father."
This time, Ratna fell asleep, but Cavin was still in disbelief.
"Hmm, yeah. Careful, mi, pi." Cavin said later.
"Yes you eat first, ask Ratna. Mommy's just like papi go first."
Both Cavin's cross-age parents say goodbye to him as well as Ratna. After they get into the car, Cavin offers Ratna to eat at his house.
"Come Rat, eat at my house."
"My house is deket, Cav."
"What does this have to do with eating at my place?"
"And I can go home, if I want to eat."
"Yes, once in a while it's okay. I want to eat at home many times too. The man mami also told, ayok ah."
Cavin pulls Ratna and, uh,
"Aaaaw."
Ratna shouted, because Cavin forgot if Ratna was currently injured.
"Sorry-sorry, Rat. I forgot that you're really hurt."
"It's okay."
"Do you want me to go to Dalem?"
"No, help me walk."
"Ok-ok."
Cavin also arrested Ratna and they are now heading into the house. Meanwhile, at Michael's residence, he sat in front of his parents and Marcell. Michael sat down with his face bowed in the face of intimidation from his father. Because the father does not accept the attitude of his son that is so surprising.
Michael's never been in any trouble, with anyone. Still today all of a sudden he had to receive punishment from the school, due to his treatment of Martin.
"Papa's really disappointed in you, Michael. Papa didn't think you were that anarchist. Papa never taught you or Marcell to behave like that."
"Papa rarely has time for Mike."
"Maike."
Marcell reprimanded his sister who spoke in a sniffling voice. The look in his eyes he still diverted to other places, although the gaze of his parents continued to be on him.
"I don't want to know, this is the first and last time you've behaved like this. Only Junior High School is anarchic, how to be a high school boy or college later. There is not your learning, even brawl or demo. Take your brother Marcell for example, never once did he make trouble and make parents ashamed."
This time Michael pulled his lips, like a half-smiling yet cynical. He knew exactly how his brother behaved outside.
Marcell is a child who is often involved in brawl and also often get cases at school. But the difference is, Marcell is good at covering up his mistakes.
The young man's mischief never reached the ears of his parents. And again Marcell is a smart kid and always achievers. Every time he makes a mistake, his achievements are always the cover of his mistakes.
Michael himself knows whatever his brother does, because Marcell is always open and tells him.
