I'm the Forgotten One
Agatha's Change.

From this moment on, Agatha slowly changed herself. In terms of appearance, his lifestyle. Who usually wears branded clothes but looks simple, now his appearance is a little eccentric. He also wears tattered jeans like the others. Agatha's change is almost 180 degrees. He painted his bamboo to gray, but it looked like gray, just like old grannies. It's just that what distinguishes it, the skin is still tight and not wrinkled.

Agatha pierced both ears, bringing the total piercing to two pairs in each. A string of bracelets also wrapped his smooth white hands. At first, he kept asking about who he was when he saw his own change. It is difficult to adapt, but he has to get used to new things that are beyond the common sense of other teenagers. He also asked in his heart why he even wanted to add piercings in his ears, while usually ear piercings can only be one piercing. But according to Andrew, as the leader of the Storm group, piercing one limb excessively, is a symbol of the punk group.

In addition to her changed appearance and lifestyle, Agatha also got a new name, namely Loury. About the truth about Agatha's car and cell phone, only Carlos knows about it. Agatha deliberately hid the cell phone and also drove her car home. Agatha's new name was given to her by Charles and Bernard. Most of them replaced their real names with pseudonyms after they became punk kids. Andrew, Bernard, and Catherine changed their names, including Agatha. Carlos, however, still uses his real name.

Anyway, the core of the Storm group is about freedom as well as rebellion. Anti-establishment, anti-formality, want to gain freedom in their own way. Freely, freely. It feels like, if they have to continue to be controlled and monitored by others, their lives are like a bird in a cage. They want to travel like a traveler.

Gradually, Agatha began to be accepted into the Storm group. He began to enjoy his new life on the streets, hanging back and forth. The drastic change that Agatha felt was that she began to like drinking liquor under normal circumstances. Usually, last time he drank liquor because his mind was messed up. But now, as if it had become his daily necessity. Now he is also not afraid to be on the streets because he thinks no one will recognize him with his new look.

Meanwhile, Alzio and Dirgo continue to search for his whereabouts. Bi Momon who every night continues to wait for the arrival of his little master, often fell asleep in the living room, as well as Mang Judas. Mang Judas hoped that Agatha's speech when she took the car was just a word of boasting. But, it was even reversed, Agatha did not reveal her nose stem that pointed at a moment.

Agatha and her friends worked busking in the streets all over the city, crowded with traffic. Initially, Agatha had invited Carlos to find work, but it was prevented by Cath. In fact, Agatha also Carlos hope to get a decent job rather than asking for, given their physical condition which is not a disability. The hope of them both dashed because of Cath. After all, their intentions are also good, they will share the results of their work with others. But somehow from the beginning, Cath seemed to dislike the existence of Agatha in their midst.

“Kak, bad if it's like this. We can't work in that place. Even though the owner already likes us both,” said Agatha desperate when they came home busking through the clock shop where they were looking for work.

“Already. I can't do anything anymore either. Maybe luck hasn't sided with us.” Carlos patted Agatha's shoulder excitedly. “Yes that's the risk when we decide to be in this group. So, yes, we enjoy it, Dik.”

Agatha nodded. “Kak, let's count our snack results today!” As Agatha sat in the bus stop seat, Carlos landed her body there, next to Agatha.

“Five thousand..fourteen thousand... fifty seven thousand..” Agatha counting busking results. “Wah, Brother…. We got fifty-seven thousand,” Agatha said happily.

“What do you want to eat? Before meeting the others, we should eat first.”

“Mmm I want fried rice, Kak.”

“Come we'll get there!” invite Carlos to point at the area opposite them which happens to be a tavern there.

This afternoon, Agatha and Carlos had already filled their stomachs with fried rice at Agatha's request. When finished, they would meet the others at their usual gathering place, under the bridge.

This evening, Carlos accidentally finds Cath putting drugs into Agatha's water bottle. He stayed until Cath left. After Cath left, Carlos hurriedly made the bottle and replaced it with a new one. He did not want Agatha to take the drugs. Because, he saw Agatha was already like seeing her own sister. Andrew also asked Carlos to keep an eye on Cath so as not to mess with Agatha. If Carlos had not caught Cath's action, Agatha would have been crushed by Cath.

Although Agatha was not always beside Andrew, at least Andrew was relieved that there was Carlos who always accompanied Agatha. According to him, Agatha would be fine in Carlos hands.

“What Cath does?” ask Andrew to Carlos.

“He put the drugs in Agatha drink. mmm means Loury, Kak.”

“You let it go?”

“Ngak. After Cath left, I immediately threw away the bottle and replaced it with a new one.”

“Good job, Carlos! Keep an eye on Cath, to keep Loury safe.” Andrew patted Carlos on the back.

“Sister Andrew rest easy. Because Agatha I've considered her my own sister.”

Tonight, around eight o'clock, the Storm group gets a challenge from a motorcycle gang. Motorcycle gangs are always looking for trouble on the streets. They also always disturb the group of Storms on the grounds that the area where the usual group of Storms sleep, is an area belonging to a group of motorcycle gangs. Of course the Storm group did not accept the disturbance.

“So we have to give up? That mean? Should I lose to them?” cry Bernard turned around.

“Renlightening does not mean losing! The problem is, the risk we take is too big, Brother,” Agatha said.

The Storm Group must accept a challenge from a motorcycle gang for a race fight, one by one. They fought over the issue of territory and power around the city park. The challenge is not as easy as imagined. They put forward the condition that the motorbike to be used for racing, the brakes must be cut. After deliberating, the Storm group decided that Bernard would represent his group against the biker gang. They had also thought about the worst risk Bernard would take, that Bernard might be taken away at once, but they would not back down again.

Bernard is quite confident in himself that he can do and solve this challenge well. He also believes he will be okay. May luck side with him, he thought at the time.

“Stop it, Bernard!” Cath still did not accept Bernard's decision.

“Enough! We talked about it yesterday. I will move forward, whatever the risk. In fact, even if I was going to die tonight.because of this challenge.” Bernard looked at his friends one by one, the last one was Agatha.

Cath quickly hugged Bernard. “Don't say that! Promise that! Lo will return home safely winning this silly challenge.”

“Okay, if so. Come on, Bernard! We all support you,” exclaimed Andrew encouragingly.

“Ummm yeahhh! Let's beat them!” Carlos who was ready on his motorbike fluttered his proud handkerchief into the air.

The Storm group then departed to a place that had been designated as the starting line of the race. The motorized gangs that gave the challenge had first reached the starting line. There came punkers and other communities to watch this wild racing game. They are all interested in this wild race even though a big risk has been waiting if it fails to conquer the bike whose brakes have been cut.

Bernard's opponent was a man named Earthquake, his body was large height, long hair, nose pointed, dark-eyed glass, and there were tattoos on both of his burly arms.

First of all they shook hands tightly and threw each other sly smiles. One of the children of the motorcycle gang made sure carefully that the two motorcycles will be used for racing, the brakes have been completely cut so as not to happen cheating. Agatha and Cath shuddered in horror at the thought of riding the motorcycle.

“Cancel! Cancel Bernard!” Suddenly Cath screamed. He could not imagine the people he loved the most had to experience bad things.

“Guys, my doain, yes. I definitely won,” Bernard said with his trademark smile. He ignored Cath's scream. He gave a thumbs up to his friends, and stared at them one by one. As if she could feel something bad about herself tonight, this might be the last time she could see her sisters.

“Bernard, abort!” carlos screams suddenly broke the silence. Though he was already cheering, but now screams asking Bernard to cancel the challenge. All were stunned to hear him and looked at Carlos in bewilderment. “Down now! We're blush!”

The boys of the biker gang burst out laughing at Carlos ridiculous request. While among the Storm group there was little friction because of Carlos.

“Carlos, what are you?” andrew ketus.

“Sister Andrew chairman, but Big Brother only thinks of self-esteem!” exclaim Carlos fierce.

“I? I'm just thinking about self-worth? No! That's not true, Carlos. I think of the fate of all of us!”

“Kalo so, if you really think of all of us, why not a brother who advanced? Don't mess with Bernard!” Carlos pulled Andrew's collar tightly.

“I never meant Bernard to follow that challenge! How could I not think of Bernard? I am also sad that anything will happen to him, but Bernard himself will! I won't make him want to cancel now!” Andrew pushed Carlos up to a few feet.

“Stop! Stopppp!” Cath mediates Andrew and Carlos. “Why are you two even making a fuss?”
