Bruk! A fat girl falls in a narrow alley near the school. The alley was very quiet. No one was walking there.
And because the tailbone of Leony hit the narrow alley road hard and very sick, he cried bitterly.
Leony's school bag that his mother had just bought was stirred by a swarm of boys whose bodies were bigger than Leony's.
"Where's the wallet? Have you found him?" ask the leader of the bunch of boys. His body was the fattest compared to his comrades.
"Nothing, Chief," replied a thin and tall boy.
The head with heavy steps immediately walked towards Leony who was still continuing to cry. The pain and fear seemed to be mixed, making Leony's tears did not stop flowing soaking and reddish cheeks.
"Give me your money, quick! If you don't give me your money, I'll rip your shirt off and throw away your new school bag" the Chairman threatened in a sniffy tone.
"I didn't bring any money today, brother. I'm sorry," Leony replied in fear.
"lik! You must have hidden your money under your shirt. I'll rip your shirt off!" bentak Chief.
The hordes of boys behind the Chairman of the Competitors cheered, "Yes, just take off his shirt, Chief. He must've hidden the money in his fat belly."
Prangs! Clontang!
Several small rocks suddenly shot around the Chief. And about some of the big barrels near Leony fell down. Leony who was frightened by the many boulder attacks that caused a noisy sound, immediately curled up in fear. Protecting his face with his white and fat hands.
"Ouch! Ow hell! Help u! Help me!" screeched the Chairman and the horde of frightened boys. They were shocked by the attack of the pebbles like a meteor shower. Falling from the sky. So horrible.
"Run! Run!" pekik the Chief commands his men to immediately leave Leony in a narrow alley.
After all the bullies Leony's kids left. Someone jumped down from the roof of a building flanking a narrow alley. A boy with a handsome face with long tanned hair. He approached Leony's school bag. Pick up all Leony's belongings scattered in the streets. Clean it up first and put it in Leony's school bag.
"This is your bag, Leony. Come home with me! I'll take you home first" said the boy softly.
Leony raised his face when he heard the soft voice of a boy.
"The jungle!" peekik Leony was shocked to see Rimba, his countryman in a narrow alley.
Rimba reached out her hand, trying to help Leony stand up. But Leony was instead stunned at the good looks of Rimba, his helper.
"Leony, let's get up!" pinta Rimba with a smooth voice. A man should love a woman. Especially the weak, often bullied by friends, such as Leony.
Leony timidly put his handcuffs into the hands of Rimba. And hap! Leony's fat body was pulled quickly by Rimba until Leony in an instant was already standing on the asphalt of a narrow alleyway.
"Wear your bag," Rimba's pinta now thrusts a bag shaped like a unicorn head on Leony.
"Thank you very much, Rimba. You helped me" said Leony.
"Either. Leony, have they been with you for a long time?" rimba asked without intending to mock and humiliate Leony.
Leony nodded slowly.
"Have you ever reported it to your parents or to Paula's mom?" ask Rimba again.
Leony shook his head. "They threatened me. If I report to an adult, they'll terrorize me" Leony said.
The jungle breathed deeply.
"Then let me report this to my mother. You're not the one reporting to the adults, but me. So if they want to terrorize, let them terrorize me" said the Jungle.
Leony bowed shy.
"Leony, this kind of bullying thing we should report to adults. So that they can immediately act and help the victim of bullying. If the victim of bullying does not report, then the bully will become more and more. Like earlier. They not only want to ask you for money, but also want to harass you" explained Rimba.
"Yes, it just so happens that today Mother can't pick me up from school. Because Mommy has to help a horse give birth to the farm. If Mother had not been stopped today, I would not have passed near here and heard the screams of your fear, Leony," explained Rimba.
Leony stared at Rimba's handsome face warmly. "Thank you, Rimba. You've helped me."
"If you have a big problem, share it with the people around you. For example with your parents or with teachers at school. As good parents and teachers, they will definitely help solve the problem of their daughter's son" explained Rimba.
"Rimba, can I share my troubles with you?" leony asked.
Rimba. "of course. Tell me problems. If I can help you, I'll help. But if I can't help you, I'll ask your mother for help."
"The jungle, you're so lucky to have a Mother who loves and cares for you so much. It's totally opposite to me. My mother had no time to accompany me. My mother was too busy working in the office because my father had been away from home since I was a baby. Poor Mother, she bears the responsibility of being the head of the family as well" replied Leony.
Rimba nodded in understanding.
The problems Leony faces are not easy to solve. So I have to help her, Inner Jungle.
"I've never met my father, Leony. But don't be sad. From now on Rimba will guard and protect Leony. Rimba will also help Leony if Leony has a problem" Rimba promised.
"Thank you, Rimba." Leony hugged Rimba tightly until Rimba had trouble breathing.
"Come now Rimba deliver yuk home!" bring Rimba.
"Let's go home!" Leony took Rimba's hand and they walked together leaving a narrow alley.
On foot, the two of them continued chatting.
"Limb, how do I throw small stones so fast and so hard without hurting the Chairman and the men who bullied me?" ask Leony curiously.
"A long time ago when I was living on a foreign island, I used to do that to protect myself and my family" replied Rimba.
"Did you learn the technique of throwing stones from your mother?" ask Leony again.
Rimba shook his head.
"I learned it from my observations of the animals in the forest. What do they do when they are squeezed and want to be eaten by wild animals? Some run in fear but others fight. Miscellaneous ways. And I learned it with Tina to be the greatest in the forest" replied Rimba.
"Oh, wow, that's so cool." Leony clapped his hands at Rimba's story.
"I'll teach you a little. So that in the future, Leony can protect themselves if things are not safe," said Rimba.
"Thank you, Rimba."
"Even if I have the ability to defend myself from other creatures, I cannot hurt other creatures. Because the creatures of this world have parents who give birth and raise. His parents will be angry if there is someone who punishes their child too much" explained Rimba.
"Oh so. That's why you just scared the bullies with a meteor shower, Rimba," Leony said.
"Yes, Leony. If I hurt them by hitting, kicking or biting them. Their parents will definitely be angry and it will trouble my mother" explained Rimba.
Leony nodded in understanding.
"When I was in the woods, I made a mistake. I once hurt a crocodile boy who bit a baby bird that fell in the river water when he first learned to fly. And since then the crocodile mother has taken revenge on me. I almost got lost playing near the river. Thankfully Mother and Tina helped me. Mother was injured because of the crocodile tail. But thank God, the wound wasn't bad. Since then, I have always been careful in my actions. Everything must be thought of first well, do not directly obey emotions and feelings," explained Rimba.
"Rimba, you're amazing. You are very wise and can control your emotions well" Leony said softly and with admiration.
Rimba smiled at Leony's praise.
If you lived in the woods for years with your family, you would understand how to survive as well as possible in the wild. It hard. But if indeed you are sincere, everything can be passed well, the inner jungle.
