Mission to Save the Heart
16. A Decision That Saved
As usual, my tutoring classes and Lunar always finished at eight or nine p.m., depending on the number of subjects we took. And it just so happened that today we were able to go home at delpan at night. And just like the previous days, we always look forward to the arrival of public transport at the stop located opposite Barisfer academy.
When we stood on the sidewalk before crossing the highway full of passing vehicles, circulating the opposite side of the road. Suddenly my back bag gained such a huge traction that it managed to make my body take two steps back. Lunar gained the most perfect momentum by pulling and hugging me from behind while saving me from a motor that almost grazed my body. And unfortunately, the motorcyclist directly hit a wheelbarrow parked on the edge of the sidewalk next to me on foot.
My body froze when I saw a disaster that almost involved me. Plus I also received a combo attack from the back embrace launched Lunar who would still refuse to let go of my body. Maybe I'm not the only one who was made to die by fleas because of events that happened so quickly. But it was also the Lunar reflex that indirectly saved my life.
“Lunar? We need to help that magic sword, deh!”
Lunar who would still be able to hear my voice then woke up and hurriedly released his warm embrace. We rushed to help the biker and the trader and his wheelbarrow that had been rolled over to be evacuated. Some scratches decorate the curves of the white motor's body. However, the most severe is the condition of the pedangan rujak who seems to have a fracture in the leg so it must be taken to the hospital.
There will always be good people on bad days, like today. Some passing adults were willing to drive the street vendor to the nearest hospital in their private car. While some adults who work around here such as street pedangan are often shallow in this area are willing to secure a cart that fruit, pickles, and sambal typical scattered on the asphalt.
“Hopefully his father was not seriously injured.” I told Lunar and especially convinced myself.
“Quiet aja. The father's foot only has to be cast for a week doang, kok!” lunar said, making my mind think hard to be rational.
“Huh?” Lunar looked up while staring at me for some time. “I mean, my neighbor once had an accident that looked like a rich dad earlier. So, the truth is, the father's feet must be digips for a week!”
Yes, whatever it is, hopefully the man did not get serious injuries so he could still make a living as usual.
Instead of landing with events that might have hit me – instead of the guy – if Lunar hadn't pulled me to his side. I suddenly realized that the public transport that was stranded waiting for me had vanished out of nowhere. And now I have a public transport crossing the Lunar housing complex stranded on the side of the road.
“That's angkot lo! Login, gih!” I asked the girl I used to always stay first.
“Then I go home first, yes! See you, Zeev!” sahut Lunar before finally he decided to infiltrate as one of the passengers in the four-wheeled public transportation. For the first time Lunar did not remind me to remain vigilant and cautious of passing vehicles.
