"Run! run, I said!"
I obeyed his words, running great leaving behind the figure that was with me earlier. My body was running, but my heart and my gaze were constantly left behind, full of guilt.
-*Grepp!
"Yahaaaaaaa! untie me!"
My steps were dismissed, my body rendered helpless. His lips grinned at me, his hands perfectly holding back the rebellion I had been waging.
"You have broken your oath, Agatha!"
The man yelled at me, his hand clutching my arm even stronger and enduring the pain of his sharp nails hurting my arm.
"Agatha..."
Say someone with a soft tone. I immediately turned to the source of the voice, about to return the call. But this male figure before me did not allow me. He closed my mouth, then dragged my body to follow him.
From an increasingly distant existence, I looked at him who was beginning to fall behind. The body of the tall woman with an extremely strong purple light emanated it, suddenly disappeared. As if in the wind.
faintly my vision began to blur, the sharp wet grass that was originally grounded, now no longer felt.
*PARRRRRR!!!
The glass girders broke, hitting the floor. I woke up and found myself in bed. The sweat that was pouring down my neck, my breath gasping.
"Aarrrrh!"
my groan was in pain, after stomping the shard from the glass. I immediately tiptoed to the other side, walking out of the room. It looked like a horror movie, the floor covered in blood from the injured footprints.
"Jeez, it's still 3 in the morning.."
I immediately took out the medicine box, after washing the wound on the sole of my foot. My mind was referring to my dream earlier, a bad dream.
Why is Aidan there? then who's the sharp-fingered man chasing me?-
I said in a curious heart, while treating the wound and covering it with a bandage.
My mind went back to chaos, remembering how Aidan left for no reason after listening to my story. I was also worried because he called me, said that he was with Gery.
...
At 07:00 in the morning
When I felt ready, I left the house. This time not to go to school, but to the orphanage. With a slightly limped step, I walked towards the bus stop.
Halfway through the trip, I got a notification of an incoming message. I found Aidan who sent me the message.
(For Agatha, are you awake?) 07.12
I smiled after reading the message from him, my feelings were a little relieved, it turned out my dreams and prejudices did not apply real.
(For Aidan, you've woken up, I'm headed for the parlour.) *send
-*Crasshh!
"Aaaah, ouch.."
I immediately pulled over, after treading a puddle of water on a hollow road. The bandage that wrapped my ankles was also wet.
"Because I'm engrossed in cell phones, I don't pay attention to the road.."
I say with regret.
*🎶 (tone incoming phone ring) ~
I immediately raised the call,
/"Ha-"
/"You've been on the road?!"
Said Aidan cutting my greeting.
/"I-iiya,"
I answered a little hesitantly, while walking after pulling over for a moment.
/"Where?"
Ask Aidan in a slightly calming tone.
/"Front of the stop,"
My answer, who was not far from the stop, walked faster to catch the bus that was about to arrive.
/"You running?"
Ask Aidan again
/"Aid-"
"Ah. jeez,"
My grunts, after being left behind by the bus. I continued my steps that were almost nearing the stop.
/"Agatha! helo? hello?"
It turns out that my phone is still on call with Aidan, I immediately disconnected it.
/"I'm sorry, I was after the bus."
I said as I sat on the bench.
/"Now it's on the bus?"
Ask Aidan.
/"Strong, now look forward again.."
My answer.
/"Cok can be left behind?"
Ask Aidan again.
/"Yes, I can't run. My leg is hurt."
I explained to her, fanning the book towards the bandage on my wet feet.
/"wounds?! since when? because what?"
Ask Aidan again, his tone rising.
/"You are from now on, I'm fine, just smashed by a glass."
I was clear to him, answering his lucky question.
/"You crazy? how can be all right. I'm there now."
Pungkas Aidan's.
/"Hey don't! I'll be late,"
I said to him who was about to close the phone.
/"hm.."
Dengus Aidan's,
/"You really moved today huh?"
Ask Aidan, now his tone is calm.
/"Yes, we're obrolin about this.."
/"Ah Aidan. The bus has arrived, I will call again!~"
My words cut off the conversation, then immediately ended the call from him.
The bus stopped right in front of me, I climbed each staircase carefully. The bus driver who looked at me was concerned.
"Slow down, uncle will wait for you to sit on the bench."
The bus driver smiled at me.
"Ah, thanks~"
I said happily, bowing respectfully to the bus driver and then immediately sitting in the front row after paying for the ticket.
The bus was speeding, I stared at the street that was slowly getting crowded with cars passing by. The morning sun shone brightly on the glass, making the glare of my eyes.
*Cato!
Notification of the incoming message, I originally thought the message from Aidan was from Helen.
I leaned my head against the side of the window, replying to Helen's message,
(About 30 minutes.) *send
In hope, Helen would not be angry. Because the distance between the house and the parlour is quite far, 30 minutes I make it up.
*Cato!
(You crazy?! that's a long time ago, I've until you have to hurry up in 10 minutes.)
07.45
I scrunched my forehead in wonder, after reading a reply from Helen. Then no longer pestering him, my gaze forced me to stare at the streets even though the sunlight was blinding my eyes.
...
With my legs still heavy and painful to step on, I still walked towards the home despite the uphill road and the cold morning air that was still felt.
"It's hard to get off the bus, let alone climb dozens of stairs.."
I resigned, with a limped step.
Trying as hard as I could, I climbed the stairs one by one. Until finally reached the top, found the gate of the home that has been seen.
*vroom..
The car drove ahead of me, stopping right in front of the parlour. I looked back at the glance, watching how smoothly the car passed and how hard I worked down the stairs.
"Goddessa.."
Grunts me, then again walked closer to the home. 2 people in uniform got out of the car.
Wait, is that Helen and Gery??!
I said in my heart, I quickly quickened my path. Welcomed with Helen's laughter after seeing me.
"Hey what's your leg?"
Gery asked attentively, he immediately approached me.
"No. Helen, you!"
I said firmly, looking at him annoyed.
"Why bandaged?"
Ask Gery again.
I looked at her, smiling at her sweet treatment.
"Hm, a small accident while sleeping.."
I answered kindly, then focused back on looking at Helen sharply.
Gery seemed confused, he scratched a glance at the back of his head, then led my way into the orphanage. So did Helen, following me and Gery in after laughing at me complacently.
Just past the courtyard of the orphanage, Bu Ratih and Bi We were waiting for us in front of the corridor. His eyes seemed round, rushing towards us. Her tongue was embracing my smooth shoulders while looking at my bandaged feet.
"Dear you. Why is it like this?"
Asked Bu Ratih anxiously, so did bi We.
"Sleep~ accident"
Helen's chirp suddenly, made me look annoyed at her.
Madam Ratih looked at me worriedly, she rubbed my hair gently.
"Atha does not have a mother.."
I said with a smile.
After that we all went inside, to the room of Mrs Ratih. My thoughts turned to Helen and Gery, wearing the same uniform and their uniforms looking unfamiliar.
...
Mrs Ratih brought her a folded uniform and some documents showing my data.
I frowned in surprise, finding the things that Madam Ratih had given me.
Then I looked at Helen who was eating Apple and Gery who was looking back at me. The uniform given by Mrs Ratih, the same as the uniform worn by Helen and Gery.
"Yes, you'll be in school with Helen."
Mum Ratih, aware of my eyes that continue to pay attention to the school uniform.
"Hey fast, it's almost half 9 now.."
Helen's chirps after eating the apple in the wind.
I clicked towards him, then turned to look at Madam Ratih who asked me to immediately change my uniform.
"Where are you going?"
Said Madam Ratih holding back my steps that were about to leave the room.
I looked astonished, though,
"Cocochere? there's a gery, he's a man-la-"
My limb held with Helen's hold suddenly in my mouth.
So did the gery who crossed his two hands towards me in panic.
I immediately shook off Helen's handcuffs, then looked at her in confusion.
"The gery? who's Gery??"
Bu Ratih asked curiously, he immediately got up close to me and Helen. So also Bi Kamilah who was surprised to look at us.
Wait, Miss Ratih doesn't know Gery?
"Ah. it's Mother, maybe Atha again digress.."
Helen's legs deflect the fact that Gery's whereabouts.
I looked at the astonished Gery who was standing in the corner of the room, his head shaking towards me. I was confused again.
"I mean embarrassed because there is a Mother of the same Bi us?"
It was clearly Mrs Ratih, who apparently believed in Helen's words.
"I-iiya Mother.. Atha is embarrassed to change clothes here because there is Gery.miss! yes, drizzle rain,"
My answer is to lie, with doubt.
"Eh, what's the connection. You're this~ you've been there changing clothes on the toilet."
Mum Ratih was still confused, with my silly words just now.
I bowed respectfully to Madam Ratih and Bi Kamila then rushed out of the room, with the uniform in my hand. Helen's coming out.
*glek!
"Hey sorry, I forgot to tell you."
Sigh Helen, pull my wrist after closing the door.
"What the hell do you mean?"
I asked curiously, following Helen's invitation that pulled me towards the toilet.
Arriving in front of the toilet, Helen stopped her steps, then turned towards me. His eyes frowned in various directions before finally staring at the focus towards me.
"Hey, listen carefully.."
Say it slowly.
I responded with a short nod.
"Gery can't be seen with them, so the only ones who know are you and me!"
Helen was serious to me.
"Ehh?? what's that supposed to mean???"
I asked very curiously after listening to Helen's explanation.
"Later, it's out of here. You're a change of prey."
He turned my body, pushed into the toilet.
