I Don't Understand
Fall down!
Mayla walks alone, occasionally staring at the dark night sky.she hums following the song she is listening to through earphones, in her right hand she holds a can of coffee that she occasionally gulps in her steps.
"it hurts so much" he said while holding his neck a little sore, because too often his head was sore because he was too royal at work.
"Lord I'm tired" he murmured as he sipped back a canned coffee. Honestly, he was very tired and felt like giving up, intending to just surrender and lay hands on destiny.
The dreams, ideals and millions of successes he wanted to achieve long gone, were replaced with bitter cries that drew him to the word bleak future.
now his desire is simple he just wants his mother to live happily for the rest of his age, and he does not want to bother his beloved mother anymore.
"sadly dying wasn't as easy as I thought" was a conversation that flashed through his brain right now.
"why did he say that" he murmured, why did Mayla see the tone of despair from the tone of Arsaka's words at that time.
Die off? not once or twice he wanted it. Even he had time to think if only after human death was finished, maybe many people who chose to die rather than suffer, but unfortunately death is not that easy. it is true, Arsaka said.
call Mayla Lebay, but back again this because she experienced a sudden incident, like a powerful wave that suddenly came to disturb the peace of the beach residents.
From the end of an alley a teenage boy running down the ridge is seen chasing with security officers and two men in an apron.
"hey fucking stop you"
"stop", but the teenage boy looks unconcerned even more to increase the speed of his run. swear by the swearing was out as his legs ran, and his legs ran, ignoring the shouts of the people behind him who continued to exclaim full of annoyance and fury.
"Wait"
"stop" the two men shouted back, occasionally the teenage boy turned his head, staring warily at the person chasing him.
"shit" he said as he continued to run, his concentration was divided because he occasionally looked back, so he did not realize in front of him there was a woman.
THE DUAKH!
BRUUUU!
SRUK!
someone suddenly slammed Mayla from behind making her fall forward, with knees and palms in rebuttal, visited the graded asphalt.
"AH/ADUH" said the two at the same time.
"ka Mayla", is a word that is heard when Mayla awakens from her fall.even at night, and the view is not so clear Mayla can easily recognize the person who made her fall.
If only his knees and hands were not strong enough to hold his weight, of course his lips would be cleft because he smelled the gradual asphalt road in front of him. Mayla turned her head to look up to ask before the imposter—knight— immediately pulled him forcing his sick leg to run following the teenager's rapid pace.
"wooy stopped", a voice exclaimed from behind the two.
"wait" on again.
"shit" said satria.Mayla is now holding pain in her knee.she can even feel the seepage of blood that penetrates her pants.
"I'M NOT STRONG" cried Mayla in the middle of running, but the knight did not answer.he even accelerated his run. Plus he still heard the clattering of footsteps running not far behind them.
"STOP I SAY" cried Mayla again as she pulled her hand from Satria's check with the rest of her strength, making inevitably the younger one stopped. but his gaze still stared warily around fearfully the person was able to chase after him.
"you.. hah.. why... hah.. even took me. ..hah.running" said Mayla with her hands now become a pedestal, pressing both her diseased knees in a bent position.
Mayla turned her head, looking madly at the younger direction, she frowned despite the minimal lighting she could clearly see the bruised forehead of the knight and the faint scratches along her arms.
'what this boy did exactly'
satria silenced her to turn her face wherever the origin is not on the object in front of her prospective stepbrother.he also did not know why even pulled him running.
"ANSWER!" mayla shouted, she could not understand why the new people she met always made her shocked by the illegible behavior. Satria was silent his gaze stared warily behind Mayla's back, he was afraid that the people had appeared and returned to pursue her.
because the knight never answered made him a little upset. Plus the teenager in front of him is the person who will be his stepbrother later.
"WHY HAVE YOU ALL COME TO BRING PROBLEMS IN MY LIFE, MY PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN MANY" he shouted as he sobbed, sad and tired so now, he was very sad.I imagine, he just came home from work. college while working is not like in dramas where it all looks very easy and fun, in fact he has to divide his time every day. not to mention that there is an unexpected schedule that makes all the schedules that he has made a mess, and he has to go back to repeating it again.not to mention the hours of sleep that are confiscated a lot because of work.
very sad for Mayla.
"stop crying you're a big ka" she said, pulling Mayla leaning against a street light. Satria could see the man who was going to be her half-brother crying sobbing.
"YOU STOLE MY FATHER ENOUGH, ARE YOU STILL NOT SATISFIED?" shouted Mayla, she lost control.she did not mean to invite her step-sister to fight in the middle of the night, or bring up what had happened and blame him.just his arrival now makes his life more complicated.
"STOP CRYING I SAID" cried Satria did not lose.
"I DIDN'T CRY BUT MY TEARS COULDN'T STOP. I'M CAPE, I'VE CAPE YOU'VE COME TO TAKE EVERYTHING FROM ME, MY HAPPINESS, MY FAMILY" cried Mayla full of emotion even she did not care if she was now on the side of the road. mayla's screams managed to attract the attention of several bikers who had passed by on the highway that night.
"HAVE FORGOTTEN, SUPPOSE I NEVER TALKED ABOUT IT! I'M JUST TIRED OF MY LIFE! " follow Mayla immediately as she brushed away the tears with the back of her hand, she then went to walk back before, the knight exclaimed.
"i'll take you" he said as he walked after Mayla not far behind him, staring at her fragile back still sobbing.
"sorry" he said, a heavy sigh came out as his leg followed the woman older than him.
"you don't know, I suffered ka too" he continued.
Mayla knit her steps without caring about her future step-sister who followed behind her.
"mayla night" said the security guard there. Mayla looked over, pausing for a moment
"night sir" he answered, he glanced at the knight
"she's my sister" her follower appointed a knight to tell the security guard there to let her in. She did hate her future stepbrother but she still had a conscience. Mayla also did not understand why the knight has not come home at this hour because the teenage boy is still complete with his school uniform.what are his parents? ah old man huh?
"sister", Mayla looks over
"come in first, I will treat your wound" replied Mayla. satria silent as she touched the wound on the elbow and on her forehead alternately. Apparently her future stepbrother was more aware of the wound than himself.
Tak—the sound of the glass clashing with the floor draws its attention from the random view of the boarding room which became its first object.
"now tell me, how can you be chased like that sat" asked Mayla while putting a p3k box in front of her. Satria was silent for some reason.he hissed when Mayla accidentally pressed the wound on her elbow and forehead.
"lengthen my name, a little ambiguous when you shorten it at the beginning of the name" she said, making Mayla sigh because the younger one seemed to care less about her question.
"hasdah! replied the knight, you know, you almost gave me a heart attack earlier.How scared I was" upset Mayla demanded an answer, attracting the younger attention looking at her. the woman in front of him now has a disorder or how because she can see a different adult side with it.
"do you have a mental disorder or what?, why did you sob while shouting? and now look at you really differently" asked the younger, making Mayla immediately take a breath of annoyance.
"you want to know, as long as you know I'm out of work, my two grades are below average and again I cape you suddenly hit me and made me fall down" his answer was full of frustration.so upset he accidentally pressed back the wounds of the knight.
"actually..the people who chased me earlier.
" what are they?" sela Mayla is impatient.
"ck they're housekeepers, I'm being chased because of me-----
"don't tell me you ran away because you didn't pay for food?" follow Mayla immediately. The nod is a form of response from the younger now. make Mayla upset mixed with anger in her silence. how is it possible? did the father never give him money? until the teenager in front of him can't afford to pay?
"my wallet was left behind and they couldn't believe it, so I ran away from being told to do the dishes in the kitchen" the younger added.
it seems that Mayla's confused face printed clearly, she did not have to bother to ask back the annoying reason that made her fall earlier, oh God this is the first time she fell on the streets and it was the work of her future sister. how upset he is.
"you can tell your family, to deliver your wallet or even pay for your food, my God, I can't figure it out. If you talk and instead of asking me to run! maybe I can help you and pay for your meal bill instead of getting me in trouble for meeting you" Mayla said at length in an emotional tone without pause. make the younger one shut up for a while.
"can I think when the mood is precarious?" the younger one voiced a question. tried to find self-defense so that his future stepbrother would not spill emotions on him.
"already, everything has happened.it may have been fate" replied Mayla shortened the word, she was lazy to argue with her future half-sister.
the sound of a wall clock that sounded loud as if filling the atmosphere of the two, Mayla said earlier as if ending the conversation in the middle of the night.The silence now began to pull the wall of awkwardness that the two created in the inertia.
The younger one looked back randomly around Mayla's boarding room.he frowned to voice the question in his silence.The article there was not a single photo on display there. on the nightstand there is only a pile of Koran and also a sleeping lamp.on the study table there is only a pile of books and paper that seize the empty space. on the wall there are only a few posters of who Satria is ignoring.
"there's one reason why your father married my mother" she said, pushing the silence away, pulling attention away from the marble floor she was on. She turned to Mayla, who was leaning against the wardrobe in front of her.
the sigh became an older response before he spoke
"when it was night, mending you home", Mayla did not pay attention to the younger.he moved then put the p3k box that had been in the lap into the kitchen cabinet.
"i'm the same as you, even I'm the first to refuse" after Satria immediately, looking up at Mayla.
"come home, tomorrow we go to the place to eat earlier.let me pay" Mayla replied just as she closed her kitchen cabinet, she did not have time to discuss with her mind, because the language sounded without being ordered.
Without paying any attention Mayla stepped towards the door. Satria fell silent she did not expect to hear the words just now.
"let me drive you out" asked Mayla not to hear any answers that came out of her step-brother candidate.
after the death of Mayla satria re-entered her boarding house she laid her body on the mattress, staring at the ceiling of the room unblinking.letting the corner of her eyes wet with the spontaneous flickering of her motor, she said, naturally his instincts said that his future step-sister was not wrong.why he had to spill his anger like that.
"forgive me" he said, and the silence of the night that answered him at that time had shown at eleven o'clock in the night, but Mayla was still awake in silence.
kata—maaf— becomes a substitute greeting—Halo— which should be spoken in the second oral, two candidates for stepfom who tear down each other invisible wall named alienation.
Proximity is not the beginning of them knowing each other, but a problem that the stepbrother unconsciously brings them close, even though they have not yet become a whole stepbrother.
