Imperfection
Chapter 29

I don't know how many times I've breathed. I was so bored in the room. Galang and Kak Refi did not allow Magdum who had been wanting to take me – way. Which in the end, of course, can be guessed, Magdum and also Galang quarreled. And made me feel dizzy from then on too. Until, Brother Refi was forced to pull out his horns, and scolded them back. Without feeling awkward again, if Galang is much older than him. And Galang knew that his actions also included a childish – kanakan.

“Hey...” call someone I believe is Magdum. He stood by peeking in between – between the doors of my room. Small smile. And step into my room slowly. “I've got permission from Kak Refi to take you – way. At least, it can reduce your boredom, of course.”

I looked at him in disbelief. “Then Galang?”

“Galang? He went back to his house, he said there was important business. I don't understand, just let it.” Magdum showed a mocking face. And I rolled my eyes, feeling panted. Because it seems like the enmity between Galang and Magdum cannot be stopped.

“How? You want to go – ways, right?!” He asked with an adorable face. God, I don't even know if Magdum can do that.

“Good – well..” I answered him quickly, unable to see the face of Magdum who was so begging me. “Because I've been wearing warm clothes, help me to wear a jacket. Okay?!”

“Ready, princess! I'll help you..” He quickly picked up my jacket, which was thick enough, and helped me to sit down, and put it on.

I sighed, as the heat began to spread all over my body. It seems, wearing a jacket in the room, is not a good idea for me to do. Magdum immediately opened the wheelchair, and carried me to be able to sit on it. “We will go – way where the hell?!” I asked him.

Magdum carried me on his back, and down the stairs together. “Maybe see the scenery, or whatever is important can make you not feel bored anymore.” He put me back in a wheelchair. “Oya... This time, I used my father's car. So it won't make it difficult for you.” Further again. And I just nodded my head.

And sure enough, a white car, parked in the front yard of my house. To my knowledge, Magdum never even touched the car. I mean, by driving it. He once again helped me get into that car. He smiled, and turned on the music. The song is Michael Jackson's The Way You Make Me Feel. Oh, my God, it feels so nostalgic. I love Michael Jackson, and Magdum has not forgotten that great fact at all.

Magdum, on his whim, sang along with the lyrics of Michael Jackson's song. And I'm laughing. Of course, Magdum's voice wasn't as good as Michael Jackson's. I mean, Magdum's never even sung before. And his voice is very bad. Again I laughed a little. Magdum stopped his singing, and shook his head –, his face flushed between the dim light. “Gosh! I'm embarrassing myself!!” Magdum exclaimed and was once again greeted by my satisfied laughter.

“You broke the beautiful voice of Michael Jackson, Magdum.

Magdum turned his head briefly towards me and laughed along. As we traveled, Michael Jackson's songs continued to wander. And I like this more and more. At least, I know one way to get rid of my saturation. By going with Magdum, or Galang, or also Kak Refi anywhere, as long as it is always together. And also while listening to Michael Jackson's song of course. No matter how long the song was sung by him, I will always love the song, as well as the singer.

And I realized, he was taking me to a hill. Instantly I could feel the coldness that surrounded my entire body. And made my body tremble instantly, because of the cold even though I was already wearing quite warm clothes, of course. Slowly put me in a wheelchair. Push it slowly.

“You try to sit on the grass??” He asked as we were near the end of the hill, which was full of grass.

“Of course..” I answered him excitedly, and Magdum chuckled at my answer.

He carried me around for the umpteenth time, and placed my body right on the cold grass, slowly. He smiled, and placed my wheelchair right by the tree right behind me. Then he started sitting right next to me. I don't know if there's any place that could look so beautiful from the top of this hill. I raised my head, and I could see thousands of stars scattered in the sky, accompanying the crescent moon that looked even more beautiful and clear from here.

“I think.. I am not too late to say this for the umpteenth time to you, Lily.” Magdum muttered quite clearly in my ear. And I turned my head towards him on the right side of my body.

“What?” my many.

Magdum turned his head and looked at me quite deeply. “If I had fallen in love with you when we met. You haven't even known her for a long time, compared to me who's known you for a long time, Lily.”.

“I think you already understand, Magdum..” I muttered and took my eyes off her. Shake my head slowly.

“I know..” He touched my face with both hands, making me stare right at him. “But can't you think about it? You made a decision too quickly by falling in love with her, and also, you don't have to experience all these things, Lily, while you were with him, he couldn't even protect you. Why do you still want to be with him? Why not just go with me?!”

Arrived – just arrived he brought his face closer to me and kissed the corner of my lips, and made me very surprised, until I subconsciously slapped his face quite hard. To release the kiss from my face. I didn't think Magdum would kiss me, it wasn't true at all. Magdum clearly displayed his quite surprised face and also his two eyes that were emitting that guiltiness.

“Antar I go home now,” muttered me while taking my eyes off of him.

Without saying much, Magdum carried me into the car again, and he walked to get my wheelchair. Then back in the car again, driving this car at a fairly moderate speed. And – I think my mind went blank. And I know, it would be very difficult to make Magdum understand my decision to prefer Galang over him.
