METAL CHILD BALLad
A FELLA? (Revision)

"I? My name is Alexi." The young man replied.

"Good name, your face is also handsome" Zike said in praise.

"Handsome? You saw for yourself I was battered like this. I don't even dare to go home, I'll be very angry later," Alexi said as he walked away staring at the crowd.

Zike smiled as he took a bottle of mineral water from his bag and thrust it at Alexi who now turned to look at him.

"Drink! Calm yourself and pray, and everything will be fine" Zike said, trying to calm Alexi down.

Alexi received a bottle of mineral water from Zike's hand, then unsealed the cover and without hesitation drank it slowly. The freshness of the mineral water made him relieved and a little calm.

"Thanks," said Alexi, closing the bottle and placing it on the grass.

"You're welcome," Zike replied in a relaxed tone. Then I asked, "Are you alone? Where are your friends?"

"Oohh .. I was with peng uh with my friends. Maybe, right now they're looking for me and if they see you dragging me. They must think you kidnapped me on purpose. How about ... are you scared now?" Alexi asked as if he was deliberately testing Zike's courage. The young man sat leaning against the base of a fairly shady headland tree root while touching his slightly swollen and bluish face.

"Kidnap you? Huh, that's right!" Zike laughed lightly until he showed his white teeth neatly lined up and made his laughter so pleasing to the eye. Alexi became increasingly astonished by the attitude of the girl who he thought was too familiar.

"Is that funny?" alexi asked who was a little annoyed because this girl dared to laugh at him.

"Yes, I kept you away from the bald Hardman but you said I kidnapped you. It's not funny, but I am am amused myself" said Zike, still laughing.

"Hardmann? So, you mean you know him?" ask Alexi.

"No, but I've seen him a lot of people everywhere." Zike replied while plucking out a blade of grass for the dikulum on his lips.

"So, you're everywhere, too, right?" alexi asked while holding the pain in his mouth that was slightly torn by Hardman's punch.

"Mmh, I'm a street kid." Zike answered like no burden at all.

"Ooh." Alexi mangosteen. "It's worth it that he's that brave to face the Hardman guy. Pull over!"

"Can you do martial arts?" ask Alexi curious. Alexi had witnessed for himself how agile and violent this girl was when she beat Hardman to droop helplessly.

"A little bit, just to take care of yourself. The street world is hard, so I had to learn how to hit people so as not to be harassed. Especially, I'm a girl and I don't want to be freely touched by anyone" Zike replied as he spread himself over the thick grass.

"Don't I just hug you, don't you feel like I've been harassing you?" ask Alexi.

"Oohh that .. isn't it accidental and emergency, so, there's no need for any more trouble" Zike replied calmly.

Alexi looked at the girl who was not far in front of him carefully. This girl style is not like most girls who choose to dress themselves with dapper clothes, polish various makeup and other accessories to look beautiful and attractive.

The girl in front of him looks natural, no makeup polish, without fancy and expensive clothes.

Currently, Zike was wearing light blue cutbray jeans that looked a little shabby. In the second part of his knee was deliberately torn to a little display of his skin that was yellow and smooth. The girl also wore a long-sleeved black t-shirt with the logo of a PURGATORY Death Metal Band, while her hair was left strung to length almost beyond the waistline.

Alexi's gaze turned to Zike's face which seemed to close his lentic hair, thick eyebrows, black and sharp. The girl's nose also adds to the natural impression of ayu. While on his thin pink lips, tucked a piece of grass that he was engrossed in playing. This girl looked indifferent in her fall style, one of her legs bent and the other leg crossed very casually.

Alexi had to go to great lengths to swallow his saliva several times seeing a scene that he thought was beautiful and interesting. Just this time he felt he did not mind to sit close to a girl, even he did not know her well.

At the moment when the two of them dissolved in silence, from a distance appeared three girls running around approaching the place where Zike and Alexi were. The three girls were wearing the same style of clothing as Zike.

"Damn you Zike! We nyariin you until puyeng, eehh elunya even fun to date here!" grumbled one of the three girls while throwing a blue jeans jacket over the body of Zike who was still lying on his own. Zike was startled and immediately opened his eyes. The three girls now gang up at him haphazardly so Zike has to roll over to avoid the three girls who seem very upset at him.

"Punish me, beautiful ladies!" zike shouted as he continued to curl.

"Lu kebangeten anyway! Maen ngacir!" said one of his friends who has long wavy hair. The girl grabbed Zike's arm with her sling bag.

"Yes, yesaaa! I'm dong Fin, I can bonyok ntar!" zike shouted while grimacing.

"Eat him, next time give the cake code if you want to stop!" exclaimed the girl named Afin with an annoyed face.

"Lupaa? You're so good, kebangeteeeen!" grouse Meilia.

"Eh who is it?" asked Afin while turning to Alexi who was silent to watch the duel exclaimed the girls.

"Oh that, my new friend dong!" Zike said proudly.

"Friends? It would be nice to have lots of friends. Look at! How happy they are." Alexi muttered in his heart.

Alexi himself did not have many friends, in his sect there were no children who dared to be friends with him, because he was a young master who went wherever always escorted and protected. It was just that today Alexi was secretly escaping from his guards.

"New friends? It can be fine, too" Meilia said as she approached Alexi. There was a liking for the young man who looked confused.

"Eh acquaintance dong! My name is Meilia." Meilia extended her hand. He looked narcissistic once in front of Alexi.

"Alexi" said Alexi was forced to shake Meilia's hand in honor of the girl.

Then Afin and Windy also come to Alexi. They also know each other. Zike grumbled to see his three friends so enthusiastic and narcissistic in front of Alexi. "Bas with you! Can't see the clear cogan!"

"Your bodies! Let's go back to Islam again yok!" bring Zike. Somehow in his heart was not happy with the behavior of his three friends who still connected Alexi.

"Hey ayok, Evil Grave is about to take the stage! I'd like to have Angel's guitar pick autograph!" zike shouted for his friends to disperse from Alexi's presence.

EVIL GRAVE is Zike's favorite Black Metal band. Zike did deliberately come to the music concert, because his idol band will perform. Zike really likes one of the EVIL GRAVE guitarists named Angel Anderson who he thinks is very cool.

Alexi also looked puzzled and occasionally stared at Zike. Zike approached the four men and asked, "Alexi, do you want to find your friends?"

"Oh yeah later, let me wait for them here," Alexi said. He seemed reluctant to return to the concert.

"Or, how about you come with us?" ask Meilia expectantly.

"Eeh, how is it?" Alexi was confused and looked back at Zike.

"Okay, are you coming? Believe me, the bald guy won't dare hurt you anymore" Zike said so Alexi wouldn't worry too much.

Alexi thought for a moment, then nodded his head. The young man then got up while tidying up his appearance. The five young people walked back to the stage that still displays the performance of underground music bands that are currently very popular with young people. Alexi chose to walk the very back following the four girls. Zike turned to her and took her hand. Alexi was quite surprised because all this time, not a single girl dared to treat him like this.

"Sstt, stay with me so they don't bother you anymore" whispered Zike by Alexi's ear.

"They?" Alexy asked. He did not understand the word 'They' meant by this girl.

"The man who beat you up has a plot too. If they find you, they're afraid they'll come after you again." Zike was still whispering as he continued walking.

"Oh, so this girl is protecting me? Ahh Alexi! How can you hide behind a girl like this? Where is your dignity as a man?" alexi's inner question seemed to be cursing himself who began to feel like he had no pride in front of Zike.

"You take it easy, I can take care of myself" Alexi said. He wanted to look manly in Zike's eyes.

"After all, I can't possibly keep you protected. It makes me look very cowardly and like I have no honor at all" Alexi said without thinking about Zike's feelings.

Zike stopped and looked at Alexi full of question marks. His eyes were rounded with pupils that were enlarged like black pearls. The edge of his eyes is also very black overgrown with long and pliable hair. And that makes her look even more stunningly beautiful. Alexi was stunned for a while. The young man seemed not to feel at this time he was in the crowd and the insistence of the fans head banger.

"Alright then, I don't seem to have to worry about you anymore. You can leave right now and you don't have to follow us anymore" Zike said suddenly, releasing his grip and immediately running after the three girls who were getting further away from their positions.

"Zike, I mean ...." Alexi wanted to hold her back, but the girl had walked over quickly.

"See you later, bye!" shout Zike.

Alexi was stunned, was there something wrong with his words? Alexi stared at the backs of the girls who were getting away.

Why does he feel so lost now?
