Pinky nodded and still hugged the tombstone. Arion squinted his eyes. The last name of the owner of this tomb is indeed the same as the last name Pinky.


"Keep that ...." Arion pointed to the back of her intention Rey.


"That's Papa Rey, she's my step-father." Pinky's eyes glazed over, she took her eyes off Arion to hide her sadness. Pinky took a deep breath. "And this is my real Papa." He was now staring intently at Arion.


Arion tilted his head. "I'm sorry I don't know, sister!" Pinky smiled by stroking her Papa's tombstone. "Then Aero?" arion asked with both eyebrows raised.


"He's Papa Rey's son with Mama. We're different, Dad."


"Oh ...."


"Papa died while I was still in the womb. They say, Papa died of a gunshot."


Pinky couldn't hold back her tears. He tried to sweep her several times but still the tears would not stop flowing through her cheeks.


Arion stroked his shoulders and swept away Pinky's tears. "How did you get shot, brother?"


Pinky shook her head, then turned her head to the sky which was now covered with black clouds. "They said Papa saved Papa Rey from the criminal. I don't understand Papa's mind. Why did she leave me and Mama together? But what I don't understand is, why is there such a bad guy, he made my Papa leave me?"


Arion hugs Pinky who is now sobbing. "I'll never apologize for the shooter! He should have died too. It's not fair if he just crouch in the bars. I hate her! I wanted to curse him and his family. To know the loss of our loved ones."


Duuuuaaaarr


Pinky stopped her crying and looked up. His heart was racing hearing the thunderous sound of lightning. Is this a sign from God? What if he realized that the man who hugged him was the son of his father's murderer?


"I don't want rain."


Pinky nodded. He faced Kevin's grave and stroked his tombstone back. "Papa Pinky go home first!" He swept away one falling tear. "Papa knows Arion now, right?" Pinky turned towards Arion who was smiling earlier.


"I'll take care of your son Om! I'll be happy for him!" Pinky smacked Arion's chest softly while smiling broadly.


They stood up, Arion then took Pinky's hand away from the tomb area to his motorbike.


Arion looked around at the increasingly dark sky. "It really wants to rain. You know, I brought a car, "sorry. Although all this time wherever he went always bring his bike. But for him, Pinky's comfort is more than anything.


"Come on home."


"This is if you go home to rain. Look at the sky over there!" Arion pointed towards the direction of the Pinky restaurant which was enveloped in a thick black cloud. "You don't want me to take you somewhere. But I'm not sure if you'll feel at home while you're there?"


Pinky scrunched her forehead, "Kok you say that?" Her lips are now pursed.


"Come on up!" bring Arion.


Arion quickly turned the gas motor. He was like racing with black clouds who got first at the destination. He overtakes every vehicle that tries to slow him down. Get in between cars that are also trying to block his way.


Pinky just resigned by hugging Arion tightly from behind. He sometimes closed his eyes in fear. But in his heart there is peace even though the atmosphere is very gripping.


Now Arion takes Pinky to the slums she used to visit every day. Arion stopped the bike. Pinky. What is this place? Why so dirty and dirty?


"Come down!" exciting Arion.


Pinky is slowly walking down the streets full of brown water. Arion helps by continuing to hold his hand so as not to fall.


"Aaaaaahhhkk," cried Pinky as she slipped. He almost fell down lucky Arion quickly caught his body. They were silent, staring at each other.


"Sir Arion ...." The cries of the street children woke them up.


"Are you okay?" ask Arion lirih. Pinky nodded in embarrassment and shook her head. "Hold my hand!"


They walked back to the sound of the children. Pinky's eyeballs go around this place. This is his first experience. He never went to a place like this even this time he knew.


"Sit here!" Arion took the cardboard as a seat for Pinky to keep it from getting dirty. "Here is the rain?" ask those kids.


"Yes, sister,"


"Have you eaten yet?" They compactly shake their heads. "Sorry Brother, hurry up and bring no food! Asep, please buy me some rice packs." Arion took the wallet in the back pocket of his pants and took some money to give to the boy.


"Ready Brother!" The boy ran with spirit.


"Teach us guitars again!"


"Yes, Kak Arion did not play guitar with us. After eating, go away."


Arion stroked the children's heads one by one. "Sorry Brother bothered! Yeah, where'd the guitar go!"


There's a vibe in Pinky's heart. He didn't expect Arion to be so amazing to him. He kept smiling looking at the man.


Ah what is this feeling?


"Whose sister is he? Arion's girlfriend huh?" tease one of those kids.


Arion squinted his eyes at the child who asked the question, "Where do little children know where to date?" his yell. "Known her name is Pinky's sister. Beautiful isn't?"


"Beautiful ...."
