From a distance there were three boys who were gathering, cheering like they were laughing at something. The three of them crowded around a girl who was crying sobbing.
"Return... Hix.. Hicks..." Whine the girl at them.
A child with the largest body advanced, and held a beautiful hairpin in front of him.
"You want this back?"
The little girl nodded.
"Take it, if you can!" he continued with a grinning face.
The little girl tried to take her hair from the big guy's hand. He jumped up and down trying to reach the height of the big hand.
"Hahahaha," their laughter sounded simultaneously!
They looked satisfied, seeing the little girl had not yet managed to get her thing.
"No! Please give me my hair back... "
"Haha... Never mind, you just give up."
"I don't want to... You're evil!" he snaps with a trembling voice.
"Hahaha, do I care? After all, I gave you a chance to take it back, right? But since you didn't make it, then this thing is now ours!"
"Yes, right! And now, we'll go to the market to sell it!" tell the other child.
"Can't! You can't sell it. That hairpin is my only precious thing! Please, return..."
"Well, you think we believe that this beautiful japit belongs to you? How could a poor orphan like you have something this good? At the very least, you stole it from the nobles?"
"I never stole it, really..."
"You lied!" snarled the big angry.
"I'm not lying, hiks hyks. It's the only thing left of my parents." replied the little girl trying to get their sympathy.
Akaakk!!!
"Ouch!" scream at the big boy while grimacing in pain.
He rubbed his head that felt bumpy, like he had just been thrown with something hard.
The big man looked back and looked at his two friends with suspicious looks.
"Who just hit my head? You you?" he accuses one of his friends.
"No! I wasn't... "
"Then you?"
"It wasn't me either!" answer his other friend.
A betaakkk!!
"Aadduuuh!"
He saw two pebbles at once, hovering simultaneously against his forehead. Now he knew, it turned out that the one who attacked him was not his two friends.
"Hey.... Who's that?"
There's no answer.
"Get out if you dare!" angry snapped.
Blast, blot, snap!
The pebbles began to fly attacking the three of them at once. The pebbles just came out from behind a lush bush, without them knowing who did it?
The endless sudden attacks continued on, until they screamed in pain. They began to be overwhelmed by the number of pebbles that continued to fly.
"Aamm... Aampuun!" yell at one of them.
"Aakhh, please stop! We surrender..."
"iii.... We surrender! Please don't throw us again. "the other answer is reassuring.
And the attack completely stopped at the sound of the bush following.
"Promise me, have you given up?" the voice sounded so small.
"Yeah... We promise! "
Not long after, finally came out another little girl after the sound of 'grasak-grusuk' from behind the bush.
His hands appear to be carrying a catapult, complete with bullets that are ready to be fired!
But what made the three boys afraid, not because of who came out of there. Except because of the magnitude of the stone he carried as his catapult bullet.
His bullet stone was as big as a medium-sized guava! Can be imagined if later the stone was thrown, and injured one of them.
The little girl started walking towards them, with a gun from the catapult she was carrying. He did not care to see his opponent who was frightened by the thing he was carrying!
"Aafs... What are you gonna do with that catapult and that rock on us?" ask the big scared one.
"I will make this great stone float, and hit one of you" he answered steadily.
"Kkaa... We're sorry, really! Please forgive us... "
"Don't apologize to me! Apologize to the kid you're bothering!" he continued walking closer towards them.
"The BBC... Alrighty! We'll apologize to him!"
"Hurry up!"
"Company, anu.. We're sorry, aren't we?" said the big one, representing his friends.
"Yes. I forgive! Hix... Hix... " Answer the little girl, the owner of the haircut they had taken.
"But don't repeat again?! You must not take anything or things that do not belong to you.
The three of them nodded, but it was obvious that they were terrified!
"Now put that hairpin under your feet!" said the catapult girl to them.
"After that, you better leave immediately, or just run away from here, before the stone in my catapult floats!" concluded later.
The big body that from earlier looked the prettiest, just lowered its head. He himself led his two friends away after putting his spoiled hairpin.
The catapult girl smiled with satisfaction, because she managed to make her opponent run away in fear!
"Well, this is yours, right?" her greeting was gentle as she extended her hand to return the beautiful hairpin to the hands of its owner.
"Oh, don't cry! You were scared, weren't you?" he tries to entertain.
The owner of the japit did not give a statement. He just nodded his head slowly while continuing to lower his head. He was still afraid and did not really believe the foreign figure of the little girl who had just helped him.
"Other times if someone is bothering you, you can't just shut up like that! You have to fight it as much as you can. Understood?" said the maiden firm.
The girl who owned the japit again just nodded her head to answer. Slowly he began to dare to raise his head while showing off a beautiful smile from the corner of his red lips.
"Thank you for helping me. I'm sorry if I can't give you anything in return!" whispered later.
"You are so funny! Yes, equally! Besides, I'm not helping you because I want something in return! Speaking of which, why are you in this place alone? Where's your friends?"
The girl who owned the clothespin immediately looked sad to hear it.
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing! It's just I never had any friends." The answer sounded doubtful.
"Ah, fine! Don't look at that ugly sad face of yours. I don't like to see it. So from now on I'm your friend, right? You want to be my friend, right?"
"Huh, really? Of course I want to!" he said with sparkling eyes.
"Good! So from now on we're friends, right?"
"Yes... "
The catapult girl then reached out, and waited for her new friend to return her handshake.
"Include me, my name is Asih. You're who?"
Shameful, he answered,...
"My name is Sani!"
