Imperfection
Chapter 19

I reached the campus, and found Mr. Galang still standing near his car. And looked at me with a worried face. Could it? Could he have known about the terror? I was still standing near my motorcycle, after putting down my – helmet. And Mr. Galang with his long steps, walked over to me. And I felt her close embrace and warm. I returned his embrace. Closing both of my eyes and inhaling the masculine scent that burst from his body.

“Why didn't you tell Lily? Why didn't you tell me you were terrorized?” asked Mr. Galang while releasing his embrace and tightly grasping both my shoulders. Still with his worried look. I could see the worry in both eyes. I cupped my hands together on her cheeks, and smiled gently.

“I just don't want to worry you, that's all. After all, that terror only happened last night. Don't worry, I'm fine – what,” answered me which made her smile gently. He took his grip off my shoulder. Mr. Galang held my hand tightly. We walked together entering the campus, without caring about the gazes of the people – people around.

Although, I still feel worried if I meet Magdum. But, as much as possible I should try to make our friendship back. The grip on my hand grew tighter, making me realize from my daydream. Turning his head towards Mr. Galang, who was staring anxiously at something in front of him. And I came to see something. I was stunned for a moment when I saw Silvi who was surrounded by several people there, and I let go of Mr. Galang's hand to run closer to Silvi.

“Silvi!” I called out to her loudly, and made her hug me tightly. She cried. I returned his embrace with no less tightly. Some people who had surrounded Silvi, also looked at us with sad eyes. I don't know what's going on. I rubbed Silvi's back slowly.

“Silvi, what's wrong? What the hell happened to you? Tell me..” I tried to talk to her, but Silvi kept crying, sobbing in my arms, and tightened her up even more.

“I... i... hiks...” Silvi tried to say something but she came back crying. And I felt a squeeze on my shoulder, making me turn my head. Mr. Galang stood near me, and nodded faintly.

“Let's talk in my room..” said Mr. Galang softly. Silvi took off her embrace and I could see how puffy her face was and also very pale. I clasped his hand and we walked together following Mr. Galang.

“Overnight, there was a man pushing me off the escalator in the mall. Fortunately, there are many people who help me. And the officer there said, that since entering from the mall, I have been followed by a man,” he replied as he scrunched his forehead and began to cry again.

“What is the man like?” I went back and clasped her hand tightly, trying to calm her down.

“That officer said, the man who pushed me and followed that was the same person. The style is very mysterious, I mean, the man wears a very covered jacket, and also wears a nose mask. No one can see his face. But I don't know what he meant to do all that to me. I'm so afraid Lily.I've never been treated like this before. I'm so scared..” Silvi hugged me tightly again. And I turned towards Mr. Galang whose forehead was frowning, as if thinking of something.

I rubbed Silvi's back slowly, she still sobbed. I thought about everything Silvi said. I also asked –. As long as I am friends with Silvi, never have I found her in trouble with anyone else. But this, someone tried to hurt him very roughly. I'm afraid, if Silvi will get a threat like this again.

“I will ask my friend to investigate this. Silvi, you just calm down.. everything will definitely be good – fine. Make sure you're not alone at home, okay?!” said Mr. Galang who was embraced by Silvi, after taking off his embrace from me.

I reached into my bag to get a tissue and I gave it to Silvi. He picked up some and directly rubbed it all over his face. I smiled bitterly at him. He must be very shaken right now. I patted – nepuk softly on his thigh. He tried to smile, even though I knew and could see inside his eyes, which still radiated from that fear. I will try to ask Mr. Galang after this, how to get the woman who tried to harm Silvi.
