Episode 113: The Inner Shocks of Regret
The hot day and the bright blue sky became the backdrop for our trip to the festival. We walked wide and narrow streets. Until we all stopped for a moment. We stopped at a simple-looking restaurant. During lunch, I familiarized myself with Rein, and at the same time, it embarrassed me not to get upset. Some time later, the plates we used were gone.
“Finally done too..” gumamku relieved.
A stomach that had been filled to the brim made people just speechless. Shortly after, a waiter came to us with a payment receipt to be paid immediately. I read each order and the price it charged. The delicious feeling of fullness makes me a little sleepy when reading the leaflet.
“You're intent on reading or not, anyway?” lontar Bella is upset. Then he took the paper from my hand and said, “Sini, let me just read.”
Bella also read out the list of orders we ordered, but the satiety made her often burp while reading it. Not infrequently he also let out the sound quite loud. I who listened to him became annoyed with him. Rhean who felt the same as me then cursed at him.
“Gosh. Your stomach is just wind, huh?” Sontak Bella who heard it became angry with Rhean.
“Still lucky I read it,” gerundelnya while turning my face. “Then you read it,” he continued giving the paper to Rhean.
Such a mixed atmosphere made Gandra feel uneasy. He took the paper in Rhean's hand and read it to completion. After that, we finally all spend our money according to the order we ordered. Of all the money we spent, Gavin was the most.
“A lot of your payment,” I don't believe.
“Hard of course, he was greedy,” Rein said insinuatingly, while the slightly upset Gavin did not respond to a word. Then I paid it to the waiter. After that we all left the restaurant and continued our journey.
“Is it still far from here?” ask Cassie slowly.
“It seems close, we just pass a few more intersections,” replied Gandra while looking at the screen of his phone.
We walked back and followed the directions shown by the map. Passing through the dense settlements made me see a variety of people's activities. Seen from a distance a group of children playing traditional games. We stopped to see the excitement of the game. Those who saw us invited us to play together.
“Sister! Come here, we play together!” lontar was one of the children among them. We all fell silent to think about it for a moment, except for me who came straight to them.
“How to play it?” manya smile.
“Kakak stayed jump over this rubber,” replied the boy cheerfully.
Then I tried to do it. I took a swing and ran to jump. The rubber is connected together so that it is shaped like a long rope. The two children holding the rubber strap raised their hands to the highest height. I managed to jump, The children looked amazed at me, along with my friends.
“Oh yes I almost forgot that he was Adelard,” said Gavin smiling as he watched me. I jumped several times at different heights. Until the moment, all were stunned when I jumped over the rubber rope in an unusual way.
“Woaahh..” blow them.
“Yah... Don't have to turn over like that too, anyway,” muttered Icha. Claps of applause rumbled towards me. Then they all approached me, including my closest friends.
“Fourth time you did it in a place like this,” Rein told me. The boys looked happy and continued the game.
“It's okay as long as they're all happy,” reply me smile.
“Alright, want to go further?” gandra's proposal to all of us. We say that word. Then I say goodbye to those kids.
“Thank you, Brother!”
“Main-play here again, yes!”
Throughout the trip we talked about the incident. I am so happy to make others smile.
“When we get there again, yuk!” get Gavin excited.
“Yuk! I also want to play with them again,” reply me.
We arrived on a highway leading to the festival. We have come out of the densely populated area. The road does not seem too crowded, unlike with crowded main roads. The road goes up. We walked that path long enough. I pushed Gavin's wheelchair exhausted me. Upon arrival at the top of the climb, we stopped for a moment while looking at the festival which is not far below. We saw the crowd from the top of the hill.
“Wah, so crowded,” lontar Icha do not believe.
“Link this guy mah,” continued Rhean.
“It seems like the busiest festival I've ever seen,” I'm surprised, while Gandra who keeps walking has been far ahead of us. We chatted so much that it made me not realize that Gavin's wheelchair was walking itself down the street.
“E—E—Eh…! A—Adelard!” gavin shouted in panic. We who just realized then gasped in shock and immediately chased after him. The panic-stricken Gavin was unable to stop the wheelchair running on its own. Gavin covered his face with fear. The wheelchair was sliding and getting faster.
“Gavin..!” we shouted from behind, while Gavin kept shouting for help with his eyes closed.
“Whoever…! Helpme! Please...!” He also said something that stuck everywhere. On the wheelchair, she screamed in fear.
“God, forgive all my mistakes. I still want to live..”
We were all making a fuss shouting at Gavin from behind while chasing him. The people around us were just watching us with confused looks. Gandra who was busy walking alone in front was astonished and then looked back. At that moment he realized that there was a Gavin who was sliding fast towards him.
“Jesus dragon! Why is it like this?” lontar Gandra was shocked. From a distance, Gandra took a swing to stop Gavin. As Gavin approached, he grabbed hold of the wheelchair.
“Can!” Then he slowly stopped it. Fortunately, no other pedestrians stood in the way as Gavin glided. None of us were hurt. We who were behind finally approached Gandra and Gavin.
“You're okay, right?” I asked with breaths. On the other hand, Gavin is still in shock and traumatized by the recent events that happened to him.
“You are how? Don't just take it off!” lontar Bella scolded me. I feel so guilty for being so careless.
“M—Sorry.. I was too engrossed in looking at the festival earlier,” I said bowed. Then Cassie walked up to Gavin and saw his condition up close. Sontak Gavin who sat in the chair immediately hugged him and whined loudly.
“I want to get well quickly..!”.
