Are You My Brother ?
Concern
In the afternoon, when I had come home from the weight of work, I was sitting languidly on the old chair in my old house. I was alone, it felt so quiet. No human voice was heard. At that time Mr. Anto had returned to my new home. I always go through hard times alone. No friends, friends, family, lovers or even enemies. But for me it is a path to a brilliant future. I don't want to always live in an imaginary world, which I want, I live in the real world with pleasure.
A gripping night. A night that adds solitude and loneliness. After all, I am someone who desperately needs someone else. Even if it takes just talking. The silence was felt all over my body. Heart, mind, feeling, soul and body, everything really feels lonely. So I decided to leave the house for entertainment.
" Full moon, bright light. It seems that the moon has managed to find the existence of the star" I said as I stared at the beautiful moon in the night sky.
The quiet atmosphere that was so ordinary to me, that night I walked out of habit. I'm trying to find something new, something that could change the state of my heart. And no matter what or coincidence, in a place far enough from my house there was an event called the night market.
" The night market, yes, it feels like it has not seen it for a long time" I muttered with a slight smile and walked to the place where the night market was.
The light of the lamp that illuminated the place made the glare of my eyes, the atmosphere boisterous with screams - screams full of happiness boomed along the place. A feeling of peace seemed to emerge from within my little heart. I went through every place there. Until my steps stopped when I saw something in front of there. A fun game has been seen before my eyes. Every twist and shout from the people in the game reminded me of something I really wanted to repeat. Because in the past, whenever there was a night market, my family and I always tried that fun game.
" Basic of life, there is something that can remind me of my past," I muttered with a wry smile.
Cheers and shouts - shouts of happiness from the visitors who ride the game was also begging me to feel the beauty of the game of the past. Even though I'm not a child anymore, even if it's not my time anymore. But I want to feel those good times again. No matter my age. Fortunately, I brought some money sheets that I was prepared to keep watch if there was a sudden need.
" Sir, how much up is that ?" I asked the game officer.
" 10 thousand dik" he answered briefly.
" Oh yes, I want to go up, sir," I said as I offered a piece of money for 10 thousands.
The officer stopped the game, so I went up and the game went round. Like flying in space, I floated and revolved around following the movement of the game. From above, there is a perfectly round moonlight. The light really awakens something that is inside me, the heart. A feeling of happiness emerged from my deepest heart. I can see the universe at a considerable distance, even if it is dark, but the moon has illuminated it. Everything looks beautiful, a cluster of stars in the beautiful night sky, coupled with a small wind that cools the body and soul.
Until - until I didn't realize that I had been in that game long enough. Even if the officers stopped him. I went down and went back to explore a place I hadn't been in for a long time. My steps accelerated to be able to faster also try various games in that place, so it did not feel, after I was satisfied to enjoy the beauty of the game - the game, the universe had shown late at night. Even then the pleasant place was a bit quiet, I decided to go home. But on the way home, in a quiet, dark place, something happened. I saw that there were 2 people who were too big to be pointing at someone who was none other than Mr. Ridho, my boss.
" Please - please !" Shouted Mr. Ridho when one of the 2 men pointed his gun.
" Woy, don't yell !" Shoot one of them.
The clash frightened Mr. Ridho, but before they took the valuables belonging to Mr. Ridho I came. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night and the thickets of the bush in the place, without them realizing I ran as fast as possible and managed to hit the gunner until he fell.
" I'm warning you to get out of here !" Say it with a loud tone.
My words were greeted with a disdainful laugh by those 2 people. Unexpectedly, suddenly the gun bearer attacked me. Fortunately I swiftly repelled his attack and snatched the sharp knife from his hand. Seeing that the knife he was carrying had changed hands, the two men fled. I wanted to go after him, but it was prevented by Mr. Ridho.
" Not to be pursued, Candra !" His words that made me undo my intention to pursue them.
" What are you doing - what is it ?" I asked while approaching Mr. Ridho.
" It's okay, thank you" he said.
" Same - sir, after all it is my duty" I said.
" I do not know my fate if there is no you, instead, I will raise your rank" said Mr. Ridho.
" First, thank you sir for the offer. Sorry I can't take it. I want to try myself to reach the highest peak in my dreams and ideals, not I get from other people's gifts" I said.
" Hmmm so yes," said Mr. Ridho with a smile.
" I'm proud of you, whenever you need help, just say it, don't hesitate" he added.
" Good sir, thank you for your kindness" said I, greeted with a nod of the head and a smile from the aged man.
" Oh, sir, what's the knife ?" I asked while showing the knife I had taken from the hands of the criminals.
" Gini only, the knife let me take it, later it could be evidence to throw the 2 criminals into prison" said Mr. Ridho.
" Good sir," I said, giving the knife to Mr. Ridho.
Mr. Ridho immediately wrapped the sharp object using the paper he took from his bag. The evidence has been in our hands, just waiting for the time to catch the 2 criminals. I didn't feel like I had enough nights, I walked side by side with my boss in the dark of the night. Eventually, we split up on the highway and went home.
