Wound Bidder

Fadilla Kanzia

The city of North Jakarta was very polluting that afternoon. A girl in a blue pashmina hood sits at a stop near her college studying. His thin hands reached into the backpack looking for something there. Once obtained, the object that turned out to be a medical mask that he used to cover half the face, nose and mouth.

The girl, whose full name was Fadilla Kanzia, looked bored. It was obvious by the way he inhaled a few times. "Lama .." lamented, when the public vehicle he was waiting for had not been seen in sight. Occasionally he wiped the sweat on his forehead while focusing on watching passing vehicles.

"You together?" A young man with a hairstyle *pompadour* dismissed his sport bike in front of the girl.

"No need! Thanks!" reject Dilla. Instead of leaving, the young man got off his bike. He sat next to the girl after removing his full face helmet.

When Dilla shifted, she said, "I'm not really afraid of the same deck with me." His mouth was irritated while he shifted until the girl protested.

"Aryo!" The girl stood up with her eyes twitching.

"Why the hell? Are you allergic to my drawings? It's not normal to be a girl. The most handsome person in the entire campus was ignored" he said, who could not understand the hooded girl.

Dilla didn't reply. He chose to go on foot leaving his campus friends.

"Eh! Where you going, lo?" Quickly Aryo pushed his motorcycle following the girl who always caught his attention.

"Why are you following?" ask Dilla not to like it.

"Whatever I am! I have legs!" reply the young man indifferently.

Aryo pulls Dilla's hand. Hurriedly told him to get on the bike when the car pulled over. Taking the girl away with him, while the shocked Dilla could do nothing but follow. Ignoring anger, for the young man had dared to touch his hand.

A few minutes later, Aryo's black sports bike stops at a high-fenced building. He glanced at the girl who just got off his bike. "This is your house?" tanyanya could not believe it. While diverting the padangan to the big house ahead there.

The girl nodded and asked, "Why?"

"Gue didn't expect you to be this rich!" his reply stared in admiration at the large building painted in dark ash. "But why go to college by public transport?" tanyanya.

"What if I can't get on public transport?" Dilla asked back. He knew everyone would ask the same question, if they knew he was from a family.

"Not so, anyway." Aryo scratched his non-itchy head. Confused what to answer. "Judah I'm going home!" Feeling bad the young man rushed away, even before Dilla said her thanks.

Dilla let out a heavy sigh after entering the fence that the house security guard opened. His feet are lethargic. Everyone will look in amazement at this beautifully designed building, but not for him. This house is her fear. Not coming home was something he always wanted. But what should he be? If his life still depends on his parents.

After he graduates from college, he will leave this house. Leave bad memories and start a new life. Now he must endure, then a few more months soon go away dispelling all memories.
