Your mouth Harimau

Three Requests

It's late in the afternoon, mom and dad might have gone home to work. Even if they haven't reached home yet, my brother Rendy might be home, he must be confused why I haven't come home yet.

I saw a sedan drive towards us, the headlights on. I protected my eyes so as not to be glazed by the bright light and almost dropped my bike again.

The woman kept walking in the middle of the road, I walked to the side so that she could get away from the car road. But he doesn't seem to care. He kept walking straight ahead, his facial expression remained unchanged, even though his face was brightly exposed to the light rays.

"Revelation !" my yelling. I don't know if he heard me.

The car swerved to avoid it and honked as it passed.

The woman smiled warmly at me as we continued walking.

"It's okay to take care of people you really don't know" he said

Suddenly the lights were on, the wet streets were glistening. Bushes and hedges, grass, sidewalks all look shiny.

"It's here, it's Malabar" I said, showing the signboard. Finally ! my thinking.

I just wanted to say goodbye to this weird woman and go home as soon as possible.

Lightning snatched, this time closer.

It was exhausting today, I thought while taking a breath.

Then I remembered Yuni. The shitty incident of the whole day had suddenly entered my mind again. I feel so angry.

"Where is east?" the woman asked, her trembling voice breaking my daydream.

"East," I looked in both Malabar directions, trying to remove Yuni from my mind. I showed him east.

Suddenly the wind blew, blowing rain at me. The cold felt in my body. I fastened my grip on the handlebars.

"You're so nice" said the woman, wrapped around her scarf around her neck. His dark and sharp eyes looked into my eyes. "You're so good, most young people aren't as good as you."

"No, wait," she asked. "I want to repay your bud."

"Huh !" I'm telling you, don't don't."

"I want to repay your bud" said the woman insistent.

I grabbed my wrist again. And once again I felt a shocking cold.

"You've been so good" repeated the woman. So good to people you don't know."

I tried to let go of my wrist, but the grip was strong.

"You don't have to return the favor to me" I said

"I want to return the favor" he replied, looking at my face, his hand still clutching my wrist.

"Let's say, I'll grant you three wishes."

He's crazy, I thought. I looked into his black eyes. Rain water dripped from her hair, descending to the side of her pale face. I could feel her cold hands, even though my hands were covered in coats.

This woman is crazy, I thought. Twenty minutes I walk in the rain with a madman.

"Three requests," repeated the woman, sounding her voice as if she did not want to be heard by others.

"Thank you, I really need to go home" I said. I pulled my wrist from his grip and I turned my bike.

"I'll grant you three wishes" said the woman. Anything you ask for will come true.

He carried the purple bag forward and carefully he took out something. Glass ball, it was bright red, like a big wine. The glass ball was lit even though it was dark all around us.
