Light Warriors
Section 4

Again the man in the black jacket casts his mysterious spells.

Hundreds of astral beings, the workers of strange darkness, dart out from his palm and reach into the bodies of Jaka and Rumi's other friends, without them noticing.

Rumi keeps running, trying to avoid Jaka and his friends.  After school, he did not cross the road he used to walk. He went out through the window and slipped through the hallway behind his classroom.

 Sometimes he hides if he crosses paths with Jaka and his friends. But shit, Anto and Irwan, two friends of Jaka's caught him.  "Hey..want to run where are you? " Anto yells. Rumi flinched in shock and instantly accelerated her pace. 

Anto and Irwan are after him.  Rumi was running faster.  But Irwan managed to pull his shirt.  Anto immediately held his hand and rained down on Rumi with an overstretched fist. 

Rumi was dragged back to the school shed in a helpless condition. Inside the school warehouse, it was waiting for Jaka, Anjar, and Koko. 

Jaka approached Rumi and kicked him hard. 

"Oh," Rumi gasped when Jaka's kick hit her stomach.

"You're trying to get away from us, huh? " jaka snapped.  "Bas a coward." 

All of Jaka's friends laughed. Some recorded this scene with a recording device on their smartphones.  

"Take the bag, "Jaka commands.  " Take whatever stuff you can take." 

"Please.. don't.  " I promise I'll pay it soon.. "

But they don't care about it.  Irwan snatches Rumi's backpack and pulls out all her books.  

"No valuables whatsoever" said Irwan. "Even her cell phone doesn't have one." 

"Basic poor, " said Jaka. "You'd better die if you don't have anything. " 

Once again, Jaka was about to punch him. However, someone managed to fend off Jaka's hand and hit Jaka back. Jaka's body fell bouncing.  While Jaka's other friends no one dared to approach.  

"Syam," said Jaka looking at Rumi's twin sister. The Angel of Fire within Sham was flaring up, making his entire body hot. And that keeps Jaka and his friends from picking.

"Yes. I'm Syam. Wh why? " answer Sham loudly. "You don't accept? " 

They all fell silent.  They all know the best sham martial arts. 

"Come here. Fight with me if you are real men, "challenge Sham.  No one is brave.  

"We go yuk, " said Irwan. 

They all leave the school warehouse, except for Jaka. To maintain his duty, he actually returned to the challenge of Sham to fight, even though his little heart was daunted.

"You think I'm afraid of fighting you, huh?"

Jaka clenched his hands and quickly raised his fist towards Sham. Syam managed to fend off with his muscular arms and directly punched Jaka's stomach, until Jaka was in pain. But Jaka could still endure the pain. He picked up a block of wood in the school shed and hit Sham on the head, hitting his forehead. Fresh blood poured from the forehead of Sham.

Syam was silent for a moment. His eyes were a little twitched. He closed his eyes. Agni with her fiery red color, made the whole body of Sham become hotter.

Actually, Jaka was getting daunted by seeing her. However, the feeling of prestige made Jaka abstain from giving up.

"Come, face me," said Jaka while tapping his wooden block on his palm. "Don't be your strong-ass."

Jaka approached Sham who was still trying to control his body heat and directly hit the wooden block once again to the head of Sham.

Spontaneously, Sham immediately brushed it off and the wooden block broke into two pieces. The power of Sham doubles as his body heat gets higher.

Jaka was surprised to see it. He has lost his guts. There was no choice but to run away.

Jaka intends to run away from the school warehouse. But Sham snapped at him.  

"I still have business with you Jak, " said Sham.

  Jaka looked scared.  Sham held onto his shirt crate and looked into his eyes sharply. Sham's eyes are reddened. Jaka saw a creepy fire in the eyeball of Sham.  

"I know my brother owes you the same. But that's not the way to charge it!!!" snapped Sham. Syam took off the cradle of Jaka's clothes hard until Jaka fell. 

Sham took ten pieces of money a hundred thousand from his pocket and threw them in front of Jaka's face. The money was scattered on the floor. 

"Now, take everything, " said Sham. " My brother's debt is paid off. Be careful if you dare to do anything again with Rumi. "

Sham immediately approached his twin brother who was lying weak on the floor. Blood dripped from his forehead which was hit by the blows of the wooden beams.  

After taking care of all Rumi's textbooks and putting them in a backpack, Syam supported Rumi to his motorcycle parked in the school yard. 

"Hold yes, Mi, " said Sham.  "Later until home I give the medicine again. " 

Rumi smiled as she cried. He hugged Sham's waist tightly, leaning his head on his brother's back all the way home.  Sham's back was covered with blood coming from Rumi's face.  

"I will also treat you, Sham," said Rumi.

Arriving at home, Syam compresses Rumi's wounds with warm water and treats them with wound medicine. After that, replace Rumi who treated the wound on the forehead Sham.  

" Sham, where did you get that kind of money? " 

Syam smile. " I borrowed my boss' money, Mi. Fortunately, the person was kind and understanding. Later pay it off by cutting the salary." 

"Yam, I'm sorry. I can only trouble you."

"It's okay, Mi. For my own brother. The important thing is, you do not need to be afraid of Jaka and his friends anymore. You're safe now." 

Rumi smiled at Syam. "You came at the right time" 

"Rest, Mi. Don't think of anything else. All is well and always will be good." 

Adzan isya. The sound of the door opening. Mom's in. Even though he woke up and was conscious, he still could not move his body. 

 I took out a brown envelope with money and gave it to my father.  

"This is my salary, Mas. Not much, but enough for your medical expenses." 

You can only blink your eyes.

She works as a singer in a cafe. The work he was forced to do because of the very economic impact.

  At first, he did it in secret. However, over time, also heard by the neighbors and residents of other boarding houses. It becomes an everyday material. 

But Mom doesn't care.  He knows better the economic condition of his family.  No woman in the world aspires to be a night singer in a cafe.

Rumi and Syam never questioned Mom's work, neither did you. As long as there is something they eat every day and there is money to take care of you. 

The mother went to the bed of her two children and saw Rumi sleeping soundly, while Syam sat next to her.  He saw Rumi's bruised face.  

"Yam, Rumi why? " ask Mom.  "Cock his face so bruised? Why are you here too?"

"But after being beaten by his friends at school, Mom, "Sham replied. "I got into a fight with one of Rumi's friends who beat him up. That's so arrogant, that kid. The rich man's son."

"Oh, pity. Surely Rumi has debts with his friend huh? " 

"Yes, Mom. He said his school money was in arrears for several months. Just relax, mom. I've already paid it all off" 

"Where's the money from you, Sham? "

"I borrowed my boss' money. One million. To pay off all Rumi's debts."

Mother took ten pieces of money a hundred thousand and handed them to Sham. 

"It's Sham. To pay off the debt to your boss." 

"Uhm, no, ma'am. Just let my monthly salary be cut to pay it off. Its nothing. Better, the money is used for additional costs to treat you, to pay for electricity, to pay for costs, or just save for daily needs."

"Really, Syam? You're sincere?"

"Yes, Mom. I'm sincere."

Mother put the ten hundred thousand bills back in her tote bag.  

"Thank you for understanding, Sham." The mother smiles at her son, even though he is actually crying.  But he held it as hard as he could. She must look strong in front of her husband and children.
