The Injured
Gombal Bulb

Rindra's eyes widened perfectly to see Radit in Echa's house.

"My aunt ma ...."

Radit's words stopped when he saw the person he knew was in front of his eyes.

"What are you doing here?" ask Rindra.

"Why is Brother here? This is my girlfriend's house" he added.

"Daughter?"

"Yes, my boyfriend, "he replied again.

Rindra was silent. Gio looked at Radit and Rindra alternately. He just smiled thinly.

"What did you say to Dit?" ask Ayanda.

"I want Echa jajan out, yeah. Promise me a minute," said Radit.

Ayanda glanced at Gio. Answered a nod of the head by Gio.

"Can't you?" ask Echa who just approached Radit in the living room. Radit nodded with a smile.

"I'll get the jacket first." Echa's hand is blocked by Radit. "Pake my jacket" said Radit. "We don't have much time" he added, laughing.

Echa just realized that there is a Rindra there. "Eh, Brother Rindra has come. I'm sorry I forgot to tell Papa, if Rindra wants to come here" said Echa.

"It's okay" replied Rindra flatly.

"Come on," Radit said as he extended his hand towards Echa. Echa also received Radit's hand.

"Dit, watch out for you for a long time. Aunt scribble from your list of ghosts," Ayanda threatened.

"Ready Aunt," said Radit.

Gio glanced at Rindra who seemed to dislike the closeness of Radit and his daughter. Rindra also said goodbye to Giondra and Ayanda.

After Rindra's departure, Ayanda glanced at Giondra. "Daddy's queer victory." Gio just laughed.

Rindra follows the motor driven by Radit and also Echa. They look very happy. Echa's hand is coiled around Radit's waist and Radit is grasping Echa's hand with his left hand.

Radit motor stops at hawker center. The hands of the two of them continued to hold each other. As usual Echa chose all the food she liked. Radit will pay for it.

From one stand to another. Echa keeps choosing what she wants. After nearly ten packs in hand, Echa ended the event.

"Udah?" Echa was happy.

Radit ruffled Echa's hair. There are eyes that appear to show an aura of dislike. Radit drives his bike to Echa's house.

He always smiles when he sees Echa eating. His cheeks will swell and look very funny .

"Why the hell?" ask Echa while chewing her food.

"You're funny to eat again" replied Radit.

"I'm funny from birth, brother," he said.

"Don't call Brother, we're done."

"So, it's really alay" said Echa. Radit just laughed.

"I feel like dating Adek I know myself, if you call me Brother," he added.

"I call you bhul, yes" said Radit again.

"What is bhul?"

"Petish, means eat."

"There's no good," snorted Echa.

"Want me to call you darling? Or Ayang? Or Ay? Or Beb?"

"Dignity," screeches. Radit laughed too.

"What do you call me?"

"Ec ... Bhal."

"What Bhal?"

"Gombal," he said with a laugh.

Tonight is full of happiness between the kingpin and the gombal. The clock shows the larger the numbers making them have to separate.

"Go to bed, I'll chat you when I get home" Radit said as he stroked Echa's cheek.

"You be careful, yes," said Echa. Radit nodded then put his bike forward.

Echa went straight into her room and laid her body on the bed. Her lips were perfectly cut.

Radit just arrived at his house. Rindra was already waiting for him in the living room. Radit passed by his brother, and not a word came out of Radit's mouth. Their relationship is a little tenuous because Addhitama's attention is always focused on Radit. The youngest child of Addhitama.

"When have you been dating Echa?" rindra asked who broke the silence.

Radit's footsteps stopped when he heard the brother's question. "Why? Do you like Echa too?" ask Radit.

Rindra was silent for a moment, Radit was indeed a child who was sensitive to all situations and conditions. Especially the feelings of his family.

"For any other business, maybe I'll give up. But, for my feelings this time I will fight," he explained. Radit left Rindra and continued his footsteps towards his room.

If, looking back on Radit's life isn't as beautiful as others see it. His life was full of heartache, hated and constantly blamed. That's the reason why Radit wanted to be a psychologist because when little Radit took a long time to reverse his shaken psychic. Hence, Addhitama always put Radit first. A child who has never had the love of a mother since birth.

Radit threw his body in the bed. He looked for his phone and typed his finger on the long-sided screen.

"Bhul, I'm home. Night mbhul ku😘"

"Night too Bhal."

Radit went into the bathroom and cleaned himself up before going to bed. When he came out of the bathroom, Rival was already in his room.

"Removing a mosquito." Report Rival.

"Let's be Brother. As much as he likes," said Radit lazily.

"Lu why?"

"Abang always felt like the most unlucky and depressed person. Though in this house I am very depressed Brother," said Radit.

Rival can only rub Radit's back. He knew his sister had a deep heartache. And get tremendous pain.

"Fathers hate their fragile children the most" Rival said.

Radit looked at Rival with pushy eyes. "As fragile as I am, I will not act foolishly as my brother."

Yes, Rindra has a side that is not appropriate for his age. If he was having a big problem just by ruining his entire room, his anger would subside.

"Try to talk to Brother, is Abang always horrified your talk."

Radit took a deep breath before answering Rival's words. "That's because of me" Radit replied.

"meaning?" rival did not understand.

"I don't know, you like Echa. That's why you talk like that" Radit added.

Rival just rubbed his nape. "I'll never let go of him, brother. I gave up a lot because of my brother. Now it's time for me to follow what my heart says."

Rival nodded in understanding, he was not taking sides with anyone. Because he saw his brother and his sister have different characteristics. Rindra is often hated by others for her cold and arrogant nature, and Radit is much liked by others for her hospitality.

"Yes, Papih is coming home soon. At least the brother got Papih's nag," said Rival.

Rival leaves Radit, and lets Radit calm his heart and mind. Rival knew Radit was angry with his brother. However, his anger could be he muddied. Sticking words from family members signifies Radit is already angry. All the Radit family knew about it.
