6-3. The Past: Little Lisa

The woman could not believe it, she was immediately shocked by my invitation to friendship.

Hehehe. I've never had a girl friend before either, so I guess if we were friends, it would be fun.

This is the first time I have met a woman.

"Don't be dumb, you'll catch up!" My sewot to that woman, and our eyes kept on bumping.

I felt different when I was close to him, as if my aloneness had disappeared, and turned into an attitude that might be quite friendly.

"O-oh I'm sorry," she immediately laughed after I reminded her, she looked nervous after being shocked. "My name is Lisa, what's your name?"

"My name is Firza, said my teacher, Firza's name is a female name. But I don't care, you can call me 'Firza'!" I answered while expressing my frustration when remembering my teacher once commented on my name.

The woman I just met, her name was Lisa, she just laughed beside me after hearing my frustration.

What's so funny? I'm quite curious. But he looks cool too. A person as engrossed as him, is it true to have no friends like me at all?

"Why laugh? This name is a gift my parents knew!" I pretended to be annoyed with her, until her laughter began to subside. "You're a funny guy, you can definitely get stuck, but why are you alone here?"

"I'm funny, right? Hehehe, I'm a big head. But no, I used to have a lot of friends in the village, but now there is no." Reply Lisa with a cheerful face.

It seems like this chatter will lead to a sad thing, it is better that I do not have to ask him again than that his facial expression changed from cheerful to sad at first.

Although I was really curious, since she was a cheerful woman, how could her friends no longer exist now? Are his friends moving house?

"Because my friends aren't there, you might be a good choice, too. He said he didn't have any friends, did he? I'm the same, maybe we could be best friends!" Lisa said quickly, her face approaching towards me with a pleased look and a smile.

I turned my face away in embarrassment and said, "Sorry, I'm ashamed, I never had a girl's friend."

"Well, so isn't it? Come salaman!" Let Lisa sound happy.

She'll be my first girl friend, when I don't want her? Surely I want that, I want us to be friends. Although quiet people like me are easily embarrassed, but what can I do? Than I have no female friends at all.

I slowly turned my head towards Lisa, as if I didn't want to look cheap. Maybe if I turned to him as fast as lightning, he would be surprised and would think that I was a strange child, I did not want such an incident.

So, I started smiling and grabbed her hand to shake. Our hands dance with each other, our eyes clash with each other, and our smiles expand as well.

"I'm actually a quiet person, but..." My words don't continue.

"But why don't you look like a quiet kid?" ask Lisa quickly while laughing at me, I also joined in laughing. There was a tinge of tinge in his sentence.

I felt like I was laughing at myself because of Lisa's question.

Is that from his point of view? Don't I look like a quiet kid in his eyes?

"Your aura looks radiant, very bright! Therefore I want to know you, because you are also a good person. I also want to ask, how can your aura be like that?" Lisa asks again, but this question is more serious than ever.

"You mean?! What aura?!" many confusions.

From the cartoons I watched, wait, I still don't understand. He wants to say that I'm good or what? Lisa's sentence was hard to understand, as if her Indonesian lessons were a step ahead of me. Do I have to be sure that he is the same age as me?

"Oh, don't you understand? It's easier if you look like a good person in my eyes" Lisa continued, easier to understand.

"Ooohh, that's dong, I'm a little more understanding, Lisa!" Respond with a shy laugh.

We both laughed together in the middle of the afternoon into the evening.

On the riverbank enjoying the atmosphere, we both looked ahead. Across this river there is a pretty thick forest, I hope no wild animals there will come out.

The atmosphere was so soothing when I was near Lisa, so is this what it's like to have a girl friend? Very happy. I can't wait to grow up, and then see what happens to my relationship and Lisa's next, because I hope our relationship will never be severed.

I don't want us to separate, I want to see how our relationship continues into adulthood.

"It's late in the afternoon, why don't you go home?" lisa asked suddenly to surprise me from my happy imagination.

"Eh? You're ngusir, aren't you?" I come back laughing.

"E-no, doesn't mean to be upset!" Lisa laughed, her eyes looking guilty. "Are you not looking for your parents?"

I kept quiet for a while because I just remembered something. Lisa reminds me of Mom and Dad, maybe they're looking for me and worrying about me, and maybe I and Lisa will be separated now.

A farewell? But I don't want it, I want to stay close to Lisa for longer because she can keep me calm and happy.

"Is Lisa not looking for her parents?" ask Lisa to return my position, too so I can stay nearby longer.

"I don't have any parents" Lisa replied with a smile.

Maybe I mispronounced, no, it's not possible anymore, but I did mispronounce.

I shouldn't have asked that, even though I didn't know it by accident. I hope Lisa is not offended by my question.

"I'm sorry yes, I don't know if you-" I said but was cut right away.

"No papa, you don't know and shouldn't be mistaken. Besides, now that you know, don't you think I have parents?" cut Lisa, she smiled innocently as if nothing had happened to her.

Nodding with a thin smile may be the only way to respond, because I don't understand what I have to do after that. While Lisa also smiled then faced forward after I nodded earlier.

I feel a little turned around, I feel a little awkward now.

While watching the sunset in the afternoon today, I tried to relax myself. Besides the events just now, I was also easily nervous because maybe I rarely get a friend, let alone a girl friend.

The sun was almost setting in front of us, the reddish color that adorned the sky made the atmosphere here calmer, as well as indicating that my meeting with Lisa will end soon.

Come to think of it, I should tell her that I want us to meet here again tomorrow.

"Lis, tomorrow you-" I said by accident.
