6-5. The Past: Eko, Lora, and Pita

"No need, sir, thank you. We can go home by ourselves." I answered while trying to help the boy I saved earlier to stand up.

"Well, I'll stay first" the truck driver said, feeling guilty.

Forced to reject her, I was afraid that she would also like to kidnap a child like us. That's dangerous, because Mom and Dad always warned me about this. And right now, all I can do is observe the truck driver's departure, just in case he doesn't want to kidnap us.

"You..." Said the boy I saved, surprised me and turned to him. "You're my classmate, aren't you? You like being alone, don't you?"

I nodded slowly and half at a loss as to what to answer, because I was actually bullied and had no friends, so I could only be alone with my inanimate friends.

But wait, his familiar face.so really if he is my classmate? I thought he was who he was, deserved his face was no stranger.

"My name is Eko, what's your name?" The man was named Eko, he introduced himself and asked about my name.

I was silent for a moment, confused about what to say, until about 10 seconds just answered it. "my name... Firza, the call is Firza."

The rest of the tears were still visible at the end of Eko's eyes, not so long that I told her to wipe her tears.

He's not as hot anymore either. This time I reached out to help him stand up, because after the incident just now, maybe his legs went limp.

After he stood up with his shaky head legs, I somehow remembered a woman with a kebaya who appeared in front of the forest earlier. He was the one who warned me to help Eko. But when I turned my head and tried to look for her where she stood before, she was no longer there, disappearing as if in the swallow of the earth.

"Thank you so much because you helped me earlier," said Eko with a teary face and a bit of fear, hopefully not traumatized.

I nodded for a while, then went back to the forest trees across the river, trying to find the woman.

I hope he shows himself back. But in fact, it still doesn't exist. Was he really lost to the earth? Or is he not actually human?

"What's wrong?!" ask someone who just came, she sounds like a woman.

The sound came from behind me, as I was looking towards the forest.

"Wait a minute. y'all.. I've never seen you!" Said someone else who had just come and she also sounded like a girl.

"Who are they, Lor?" one of them asked his friend.

"Forgot, Pit, but they look familiar!" Answer one of them again.

It sounded like a conversation of 2 women, and they stood right beside me and Eko.

I who had focused my gaze towards the forest, was now made curious by the two women who had just come.

Is it hard to look? And when I looked towards them, it turned out that they were just 2 beautiful women who looked the same age as us. The other one looks quite skinny like me, while the other looks more contained, even arguably fat.

"Who are you?" eko asked in curiosity.

We stand in a position like we want a 4 vs 4 duel, even if it happens, it will not be fair because they are women and we are men.

One of them, an ideal half-skinned alias, instead of looking at Eko who asked just now, he continued to observe me.

I was a little uncomfortable because he kept looking at me. Doesn't he know that I'm an introvert?! I don't know why he's watching me, but honestly, I get more nervous when he starts pointing his index finger at me.

"You're the one who was bullied at school, right?" she asked, pointing at me, making me hurt.

"God! Don't tell me that!" The other woman immediately hit the friend softly next to her. "... But what is it really, Lor?"

I don't know why their words stabbed me so much, but I don't know which part of it was impaled on my body.

While they were whispering, somehow the tone was still quite tight and I could still hear it. Are they a little crazy? Talking about the person they just met, and right in front of him?

"I will be your friend" said Eko whispering towards me while developing her smile, my mood instantly calm down for a moment.

"Seriously?" I tried to hold back my smile that would appear exaggerated.

Is that how introverted I am? Maybe, but I don't know.

The point is I'm happy to hear it. Even though I wasn't happier when I met Lisa, I still have to be grateful for this long day.

"Wait girls! This firza is not bullied! It's just the bad guys who bullied him!" As if as a protector, with his words, Eko tried to convince the two women in front of us, and it seemed like it worked.

"That's right! He's not being bullied, maybe you're wrong, Lor!" The slightly fat woman blamed the friend next to her.

"Well, Pit!" Reply to him who is blamed.

"If you want to ask her to be with him, not me!" The fat woman pointed at me while still blaming her friend.

*Deg, my heart immediately beats fast, because the woman who was watching me will look at me once again, aka our eyes will also fight each other again.

It makes me embarrassed and nervous. I must strengthen myself so as not to misbehave in front of them.

I don't know why, but I feel more nervous about being in front of people who seem to be at school with me, than with Lisa. Maybe the reason is because they're more, plus they're all in school with me, than Lisa, who somehow I'm comfortable around, because I feel she's also one fate with me.

"Your name is Firza, right? I'm sorry, if I didn't feel good about you," said the woman, accidentally waking me up from my absurd thoughts of imagining Lisa.

The atmosphere here became awkward for a moment, after I nodded and smiled in response to the sincere apology from the woman.

"Ummm... oh yes, who are you?" ask Eko to start again.

"My name is Pita, and this is Lora. Lora is the same class as you, me too!" The somewhat fat female responder, she was named Pita.

He also introduced the friend next to him, the somewhat thin woman who would watch me, her name was Lora. And they're in class with me and Eko, what a coincidence.

"If my name is Eko, and this is my friend, Firza!" Eko speaks, and represents me too.
