Balanced
Chapter 3. Second meeting

Anjir! If you look at dong!" I accidentally grabbed Riki's shoulder.

"Sorry, I don't know! The road is invisible!" My speech. How can I see the way when my hands are filled with piles of books that rise to the top until they almost close my eyes.

"Basic! You know, short, bring that many books." Riki was still grumbling when I apologized.

"(Rather than mengedumel it is better nolong)" I said in an upset heart. I'm having trouble seeing don't know if there's a flower pot downstairs. And accidentally my foot stumbled.

"Ahhh. brukk." All the books I brought were scattered. I fell on the floor, even my feet were bleeding. I thought Riki would just go quiet. Turned around to help me.

"I told you that! Don't bring that many books, even desperate! You can ask for help!" Riki helped me pick up a book that was scattered on the floor.

"Have you known I bothered, why not take the initiative to try?" I'm no less upset about picking up the book.

"Yes, sorry. I don't think you want to deal with me. I think the other one!" I heard Riki's tone as if it had turned into sadness.

"Ah. That's your feeling. Did they say it was like you? Don't you?" My timpal does not accept Riki's prejudices that are too excessive.

"Who's name? We've met twice but I don't know."

I glanced in annoyance. So it turns out Riki doesn't know my name at all. "Fiuhh.emang is the basis of the fate of students not famous until you just do not know. My name is Dania! Yes, I'm going to the office. The hunt is waiting for Miss Lia." I was still determined to carry the book without a kapok flavor.

"here! I'm helping!" Riki asked for some of the books I brought. Riki and I walked to the Teacher's Office.

All kids may look weird. Riki wants to bring books to the office is a rare sight.

"Thank you, Rik, help me." Riki and I walked out of the Teacher's Office. "Yes the same, Dania. Sorry I can't ask for your WhatsApp Lo number." Riki was doubtful.

"Yes? Can really. Huh!" I thrust my phone so that Riki can more easily scan WhatsApp barcodes.

"Thank you!"

"okay!"

We split up at the intersection of the classroom. I turn left while Riki turns right. My leg was still bleeding from the wound.

" Uchh. peri." My words grimaced.

" Eh. Why is Riki here?"

" Look at tuh? I didn't see it wrong, did I?"

"Don't let him stray again."

I heard the kids in the class whispering. I was busy cleaning my wounds with a tissue.

"Make it Lo!" Said Riki thrusting plaster for wounds. It's worth all the shock.

" Eh for me? Thanks yeah!" I received the plaster. Of course all the kids in my class were shocked.

" I went back to class!" Riki passed by and left a sweet smile. "What's? I didn't see it wrong, did I, Dania?" Exclaimed Agnes who came near me with her gentle face.

" What the hell? That's so fucking stupid." I opened the plaster and attached it to the leg wound.

" Why can Riki deket the same Lo? Very cool!" Agnes was interested.

" Yes, don't know! Riki here did not ask. I'm a psychic!" My grunt to Agnes.

I'm not interested in continuing this conversation. Fortunately, the English teacher came. All friends switched focus on seeing Mr. Budi.

I'm still touched by Riki's caring actions. I even smiled at my own smile.

**

I walked alone down the street. Again I saw Riki being bullied by the same person.

"Ah. That kid keeps making trouble anyway? Not tired of what?" I want to go by not interfere. But unfortunately my conscience pushes to help.

"Well, risk the good guys! " I praise myself.

Woy you guys go! There's another police patrol." I lied to disperse them all.

"Ehh, unplug! Unplug it!"

My tactics succeeded them leaving Riki still lying on the ground.

"You don't make a day a gatel?" I thrust my hand to help Riki.

"Thank you!" Riki refused to accept my hand and tried to get up on her own. I saw Riki's lips bleed.

"Oh yeah, sit down first." I pulled Riki's hand, I invited him to sit on a roadside rock.

"What's the fuck you want?" Ask Riki.

"Udah is in!" I opened the plaster and put it on Riki's lips.

"Well, done! I'm going home first! Don't make it anymore." I left Riki with my sweet smile.

I feel weird. "Why is Riki's face red?"

"Dam. Why is my heart so rich in gini?" Riki pressed down on his irregularly thumping chest. Riki still imagined the face of ayu Dania when putting the plaster right in front of her face.

The face that is ayu with thin lipglos makes Riki stunned.

"Ahh, maybe I drink less water." Riki immediately took the water from the refrigerator.

"Lunches. Glug. Glek."

"Well, why not say it?" Riki still does not realize that he is in love with a woman.

"Brakk."

"Where are you going Atmika?" Exclaimed Pak Anggoro to his wife who was preparing with her big backpack.

"I'm going to America. I'm waiting at the airport." Excited Atmika while confirming her slanted bag.

"Why do you keep going? When do you have time for family?" Anggoro yanked Atmika's bag, forbade her from leaving. "Can't! I've been waiting for you in the same time as me." Atmika brushed off Anggoro's hand.

"Hey! You are yes! I'll find my own pleasure. Just look at Atmika! I don't care if you go home or not. I DON'T CARE!" Anggoro raised his voice but Atmika did not budge as if preparing with all the risks that He would accept.

This scene was a daily meal for Riki. This broken family was never as beautiful as anyone else's home. Furniture as well as other luxury items are just as a meaningless extension. Home is a reason to go back but not for Riki.

For Riki the house is hell. The atmosphere that is always hot makes it sultry and rarely at home.

Riki passed by and went into the room.

"Why my family is not as rich as others. Everyone is busy looking for their own pleasure. They don't even care about me." Riki stared intently at his own body from the reflection of the glass cabinet. I remember the bad luck that had been happening to her since childhood.

"Hello baby! Where again?" Anggoro said to one of his stash.

"Oh. Here comes. I am lonely! I'll wait at home, baby! Moochh."

Anggoro said to Angel.

The departure of Atmika from home is not without reason. Since the beginning of marriage Anggoro always cheated on him. I don't know how many women for Anggoro who like to change partners. There is no sense of penance for him who has entered the age of the head 4.

It is possible that Atmika feels careless and seeks his own busyness for the cure of his heart wound that he experienced for years.

"Father! don't bring that woman here again!" Riki said to Anggoro.

"You little boy just shut up! Don't interfere in the affairs of the parents!" Sentak Anggoro does not accept.

"Why did it change? It's also because of Papa himself!" Riki begins to dare to blame Anggoro for the change of his mother.

"You! Dare now fight Papa huh!"

"Yes! I was getting bored and tired of having to live with a selfish family. Please take care of Papa's affair!"

"Plakkk." Anggoro slapped right on Riki's cheek.

"Again Pa! Some more! Let Papa be satisfied! I'm gonna get out of the house. Please Papa do as Papa pleases."

"You don't mostly style ya Riki! Can't do you without Papa's money huh!"

"Brakk."

"Riki! Where are you going?"

Riki did not care, and still left the magnificent house. Riki was fed up with having to live with his stubborn and selfish Papa disposition.

The family life is getting ruined unceremoniously.
