Unable to be prevented, a shocked screech came out of Rani's mouth. He did not expect Martin to stand behind him. Rani thinks Martin is gone. He did not pay much attention to where Martin was going, because his attention was focused on the child. It didn't cross his mind at all that Martin would be back in no time.
Did he see Rani talk to that guy? If it is, Rani hopes Martin does not suspect her.
The shock made Rani's body go backwards. If Martin had not hurriedly caught him, Rani would have fallen to the ground. But because Martin jerked Rani's body so hard at him, Rani actually fell into his embrace. This is not the first time this has happened. The first time he met Martin, Rani also almost fell, and Martin also helped him. But at that time Martin's hands were just circular on Rani's back, not hugging her like now.
Rani knew she should have let go of Martin's embrace. But again, to his surprise, he could not react quickly. He just stood still and looked at Martin's face so close to his face while Martin also looked back at his face so intensely.
"Wrong by Martin. He'll know I'm shocked again, so he should have let go of his embrace."
But when Martin's consciousness suddenly recovered and he immediately released his embrace, Rani was not ready. Losing her grip on Martin made Rani this time completely fall to the ground. His elbow immediately felt sore, and when Rani examined it. it turned bloody—maybe due to scratched stone.
"Why are you here?" martin asked Rani, with no intention at all to help Rani stand up. He also did not really look at Rani. Maybe she was embarrassed because she hugged Rani. "What do you nguntit me?"
"No," Rani lied. "Gue just happened to pass by."
Rani again checked the wound on her elbow. It seemed like he was unknowingly complaining, so Martin squatted down next to him and went to check on him.
"Attep," said Martin. He stood up again, then half ran towards the pharmacy across the street. When he returned, he brought Betadine and plaster. Carefully, she drips Betadine and pairs the plaster onto Rani's elbow.
"Thanks," said Rani clumsily.
"No problem" replied Martin. He sat next to Rani, so they both sat under the tree where Rani had peeked. "So, why did you happen to come through here? Where are you going?"
"To my friend's house," Rani lies again. "The house is near here."
"What are your friends from Ganesha High School?"
Rani panicked as well. "Why did Martin take Ganesha High School with him?"
But Martin misinterpreted Rani's panic as confusion, thus explaining her question.
"This is Ganesha High School" Martin said. "So if your friend's house is nearby, maybe he's Ganesha High School's son."
"Oh," said Rani, relieved that Martin had not linked him to Ghevin. "No. He went to college."
I don't know who Rani's friend in question has been in college?
"Gue has been curious for a long time" Martin said. "What is the business that brings you to Garuda High School?"
"My brother is the one who actually has business." Okay, that's right. "He wants to go to Garuda High School."
"A boy's sister or a girl's?"
"Cowok" said Rani. And when he remembered Billy wishing himself to be respectful to Martin, all Rani expressed Billy's wishes to the Garuda High School gang leader. "She said she wanted to be a gang member at Garuda High School."
Martin seemed interested. "Oh, huh?"
"Yes," said Rani. "But I don't think he's fit to be a gang member. After he is not good at fighting, his physique is also not supportive."
Sorry to Billy, Rani was just telling the truth.
"Sometimes it's not just the ability that matters, it's the spirit, too" Martin said. "Kalo your sister is eager to protect Garuda High School, why not?"
"Ah, it seems not to be that cool as the goal," said Rani. "He wants to be cool at best."
"Lo's your sister actually got along anyway?" martin asked, maybe surprised because Rani did not defend Billy at all.
"Akur kok" said Rani. "Gue's just honestly judging her."
"Yes, you have a sister" Martin commented.
"Lo himself, do you have a brother?" ask Rani.
"Gue has one big brother."
"So far, is he still in college or is he working?"
"Udah is dead."
