Risda leaves for the location with Ana, while Charlie chooses not to come because he wants to help Risda find her mother. Risda does not know Charlie's purpose, so she can only resign when told to stay on the show.
Arriving at that location, Risda met so many people that she did not recognize. But with his martial uniform, he was treated like his own brother even though they felt foreign. Maybe an event like this makes him happy, where no one recognizes him but is treated well by all.
Risda and the others greeted the guests in unison, everyone who came was immediately greeted by them and invited them to sit in the prepared place. Unceasingly Risda showed a smile, but his mind drifted where.
Risda tried to enjoy the event without thinking about anything else, it was not able to make his mind feel calmer. when the event had passed long enough, it was not, there was no word from Charlie or his mother.
His mother's number is still unreachable for now, although she tried several times to. His mind somehow drifted to where for the time being, even he lacked focus in the event.
The seniors from the other branches began to try to display their best display on the stage, their stunning actions were not able to make Risda distracted from her mind. Risda kept holding her phone waiting for news from her mother, but there was no news from her mother or Charlie.
Suddenly a message entered his phone, and Risda immediately looked at his phone immediately. He thought that there was news about his mother, but instead saw the name of my coach on the screen of his phone, and he immediately opened a message from Afrenzo.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
...My trainer...
Lo where?
Here now.
^^^^^Sit in the backmost place^^^^^
^^^Why?^^^
I'm backstage, quick.
^^^No courage, the place rame^^^
^^^Gue is shy of people^^^
Don't talk much
I wait!
^^^ Yes, very noisy^^
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Risda put her phone in her shirt, because there is no bag to put the phone. I don't know why Afrenzo arrived to tell him to meet him, let alone meet him backstage.
Risda with cotton also had to pass a group of people, actually Risda felt uncomfortable if he had to pass the person. However, he could not deny the words of Afrenzo, and he had to carry out his orders regardless.
Risda also arrived backstage, he saw that Afrenzo was busy with a lunch box. When Risda came to that place, Afrenzo just turned his head and resumed what he was doing.
"What's calling me?" Risda asked lazily.
"Nih bawain, for each other as well" said Afrenzo, giving several boxes of food stuffed into one large plastic bag.
"Lo can't bring it alone?"
Lorenzo pointed in the opposite direction from Risda standing, and Risda followed the direction in which Afrenzo pointed. It looks so many food boxes that have been neatly arranged there, so much so that it will not be able to be lifted by 4 people at once.
"This is our branch" said Afrenzo.
"So this is for our branch doang? It's less, though,"
"Gue's counting."
"Do you know how many people are coming?"
"Who am I?"
Risda also looked at Afrenzo, how could he forget that he was talking to his coach. It is only natural that Afrenzo knew the number of students who participated, could Risda question it to him.
Afrenzo just sighed, and Risda immediately rushed away from the place because of his embarrassment to Africenzo. Risda walked slowly while carrying the food box, because many became quite heavy for him as well.
"Why should I bring it? Heavy tau," Grutu Risda as he continued walking.
"Aren't you sincere if your coach asks for help?" Ask someone behind Risda.
Risda recognized the voice, he immediately turned his head back while looking at the Africanzo who was behind him. Afrenzo brought a food box with twice the amount that Risda brought, so Risda felt ashamed of herself.
"That's a real shame, honorable coach. This is nothing, "Risda replied with a soft chuckle.
"You are, take this.“
"No!! How will my hands and joints break? I can't practice anymore, how? Keep eating and drinking, how? Keep going..."
"Whisper," said Afrenzo who cut Risda's question for granted.
Afrenzo just passed Risda, walked ahead of Risda and left the girl in her place. Seeing that, Risda immediately rushed to pursue him, because he did not want to be left behind by Lorenzo just like that.
Arriving at the place they were headed, Afrenzo immediately distributed the food to his students. Risda also directly aligned himself standing next to Afrenzo, he also participated to distribute the food to his friends.
"Then you don't go home first" said Africzo to the whole after he finished distributing food to his students.
"Why?" Ask Risda curiously.
"Eat together."
"I'm not coming, can I? There is a personal interest,"
"No, you have to come."
"But...."
"Just for a minute."
Risda was silent and silent without being able to answer the words of Afrenzo, however, Risda could not refute the words of his coach. Inevitably he had to participate in the event, even though he wanted to go home immediately and immediately look for his mother who had not come home since yesterday.
"Gue go to the bathroom first" Risda said quietly noisily to Afrenzo, who could not refuse the order of Afrenzo.
"Do you know the place?" Ask Afrenzo.
"No idea" answered Risda plainly.
Afrenzo shook his head in disbelief, while Risda could only sigh lazily. Mood girl was really not good for now, Afrenzo also felt there was something wrong with the girl in front of him.
When neither of them became the center of attention, Afrenzo immediately took Risda's hand and took the girl away from the place. Afrenzo stopped not far from the event, because he was looking for a quiet place and was not disturbed by the rumbling sound of the event.
"Why didn't you pick up my phone this morning?" Ask Afrenzo.
"Gue doesn't know" answered Risda, throwing his face out of front of the Africanzo.
"Why did you call me in the middle of the night?"
"No papa."
"What are you hiding'in from me?"
"Gosh, are my eyes still swollen? How come Renzo had such a scary look at him anyway, don't Charlie's sister say something to him? Though I have forbidden it," Inner Risda screamed.
Risda can only be silent in front of Afrenzo, not without the reason that Afrenzo invites him to a quiet place for now. Afrenzo wanted Risda to be able to tell him about his grievances that he experienced, because that way, he was able to read the character of his student.
When she woke up in the morning, she was shocked to find Risda repeatedly contacting her. Precisely he did not know about it, especially this morning he who tried to contact Risda but was ignored by her.
When Risda tries to be contacted but can't, the man immediately panics, telling Ana to pick her up. Ana also does not know what happened to Risda, she only tells that when she picked up Risda, she found Risda crying and both eyes swollen.
Afrenzo also looked at Risda's face with clinging, he suspected that what Ana said was not true because both of Risda's eyes were not swollen. But it is undeniable, so much sadness that is deeply hidden by Risda at this time.
"Why just shut up?" Ask Afrenzo who never got an answer from his previous question.
"Gue is not papa," Risda also said the word repeatedly until finally the tears were shed from her eyes.
His tears grew more and more as time went on, until he finally dropped his body to squat on the ground. Afrenzo was confused by the attitude of the girl, he immediately squatted in front of Risda.
Afrenzo let the girl cry to express his feelings, and he just kept quiet until he saw Risda a little calmer than before. Afrenzo tried to wipe away Risda's tears, and Risda turned to him.
"I'm sorry, Renzo. I'm back to being fragile" Risda said with a little bit of a fuss.
"No papa, cry if it can make you calmer, Da. Just don't give up to get up again,"
Risda nodded her head softly at Afrenzo, trying to wipe her tears back violently. He once promised Africenzo that he would always be strong, but the question of Afrenzo again made him weak.
At least like if we have a severe problem, suddenly someone asks why to us. For some reason, the question seems to bring sadness to the heart, even though we have fought to death to be able to hold back tears, but with the defense it easily collapsed just with the word why.
Despite how much effort Risda to wipe his tears, but his tears will still come out by itself and much more swift than before. Lorenzo rubbed the top of Risda's head slowly, wanting to calm the girl down even with the trivial things he could do.
"Renzo, I want to go home" Risda told Afrenzo.
"Let's get Ana, huh? You don't bring your own motorbike, I can't do it because there's still an event,"
"Yes." Yeah."
"But before you eat first, if not eat I do not permit you to go home. You wait here, let me take it,"
"Gue is not a laper."
"No laper but his stomach sounds," Guman Afrenzo quietly stood up, but could still be heard by Risda.
Risda held her stomach, the last time she ate yesterday afternoon. So, from yesterday afternoon he had not eaten anything until noon today. Risda did feel at home to not eat for 2 days at a time, and it caused him to have stomach acid disease.
*****
Ana is focused on the appearance of her senior sister, so she does not realize that she is already beside him and makes her very surprised by his arrival. Ana immediately bowed her head in front of Afrenzo, not usually Afrenzo did that to him by suddenly appearing in front of him and looking at him.
"Pe... Coaches... What's up?" Ana asked with a brick.
"Risda why?" Ask Afrenzo.
"I don't know about that, Coach. When I came to pick her up, she was already crying and both her eyes were swollen. When I asked him, he was silent." Honestly Ana who does not know the problem of Risda.
"Then get him home,"
"Going home? The show is not finished. How can I go home?"
"I'm allowed to. If you're tired, you can also go home without having to go back to this show, but if you want to go back, then come back."
"Where is Risda now?"
"Later he'll be here."
"Good Coach."
Afrenzo immediately walked away from Ana, he immediately approached a dining table that had been provided there. Ana watched closely, she had never seen Afrenzo take food in public, despite being provided by the event organizers.
*****
Risda was playing with her phone while waiting for the arrival of Afrenzo, there was absolutely no answer from Charlie or Dewi. Somehow the two have not contacted him until now, his feelings are getting worse and he really wants to go home soon.
He did not know who to contact at this time, even he was confused what to do. If he has reached his home, then how can he find his mother because at home there is no motorcycle surgery that he can use.
If he stays in the show will be wasted, he does not even enjoy the event at all and he can only refrain from crying in front of many people. Risda tries to contact Charlie, but calls without writing.
"Charlie," said someone and immediately made Risda turn her head.
The figure of Afrenzo had arrived with a bowl of rice and a glass of drink in his hand, after which he immediately sat beside Risda. Risda immediately put his phone in his pocket, free of charge also he called the inactive number.
"Eat first" said Africzo again, giving the food to Risda.
"Gue isn't hungry" replied Risda, who stared blandly at the rice that Afrenzo had brought.
"Soto isn't your favorite, you don't like it?" Ask Afrenzo wonder.
"Lo knows a lot about me,"
"Eat."
Risda also received the bowl of rice, inevitably he had to eat it so that Afrenzo did not get angry with him. Afrenzo had kindly allowed himself to come home early, so Risda had to obey his words for now.
One bribe after another he put in his mouth, he felt gerogi because Afrenzo continued to pay attention to him without taking his eyes off him. Until the last mouthful of rice he entered, and finished the food he ate.
After he finished eating, Lorenzo immediately took the bowl from Risda's hand and gave him a drink. It really felt like he was being noticed, even his family had never behaved like that to him all this time.
"I told you, you went home with Ana, didn't you, right?"
"Thanks yes, Renzo. Sorry to take lo,"
"No problem."
