The Injured
I Don't Like It

Rindra and Rival are already in the dining room with Addhitama. Radit had not yet come out of his room.

After five minutes, Radit's footsteps were heard. He did not join his family but said goodbye to the papih.

"Where are you going?" ask Addhitama.

"Anter's school girlfriend" Radit said.

The look on Rindra's face was already reddish hearing Radit's answer. It was as if Radit's answer was a blow to him.

"Breakfast first, Dit. Rarely do we have breakfast together," Addhitama pinta.

"Udah pih, if he does not want to not be forced," ketus Rindra.

Radit smiled too thinly. "Please, Pih. I had breakfast at the home of the future-in-law. My prospective in-laws are good," said Radit with great emphasis.

Rival just bit the head of the spoon. He was watching a fierce match between his brother and also his sister.

"Yes, be careful." Radit nodded his head.

After Radit's departure, the atmosphere was increasingly quiet at the dining table. "It looks like I'm going to be crossed with Radit" said Rival breaking the silence.

"Radit is still in school, Echa is still in High School. It's still a long time," Addhitama replied.

"But, it's so sticky like that stamp, Pih," said Rival.

Rindra, who did not want to hear about Radit, finished her breakfast. "I'm leaving first" she said.

Rival smiled faintly at Rindra. The human being is full of obsession who feels uncomfortable with the chat that Rival opens.

"White, matey aja Abang. Let's not disturb people's relationships" whispered Rival to the papih.

It was not the approval he received but rather the blow on the shoulder that was hot enough that Rival got.

"Don't fuck around" Addhitama threatened.

Anger and annoyance still enveloped Radit's heart. Seeing the face of the brother was like seeing the face of an enemy who wanted to slay.

He arrived at Gio's house. His arrival was greeted by the bright smile of a girl in a white-gray uniform.

"Is he ready?" Echa nodded.

"Have you had breakfast?" ask Echa when Radit puts a helmet on Echa's head.

"Not yet, buy it on the street." Echa just nodded.

Along the way to school, Radit continued to hold Echa's hand that was coiled around her waist. It was as if he didn't want to part with Echa.

Arriving at school, Radit allows Echa's bangs to fall apart. "The right learning. I'll pick you up." Echa nodded and waved at Radit.

When Echa steps towards the class. He was confronted by Tere. Echa was just upset.

"Surge," jolted Echa.

"Don't need song, you're just a stepdaughter. No need to pretend rich princess," said Tere.

Echa laughed too. "Emang cave stepdaughter, keep on trouble for you? Sirik says cuy" said Echa.

He left Tere and went to the cafeteria. He ordered warm chocolate milk to reverse his messy mood.

"Cha." The voice that Echa knew. And the man was already sitting in front of Echa.

Echa only sighed harshly as Riza looked at her with a wistful look.

"I'm tormented, Cha."

"You still love me, but I don't love you" said Echa.

"Denger yes, Za. You who left me fit me again unfortunately same you. You're the one who made everything beautiful fall apart. You chose this path, not me."

"I hope you don't bother me anymore. I've had a boyfriend like you. Let's just say, our relationship yesterday was just a courtship trial." Echa got up from her seat without touching the milk that was in front of her.

There was no feeling for Riza. All he had in his heart was Raditya. A man who does not know where to come from but, can go straight into his life.

This is where Radit is now, in the mamih's navel. He looked at the mamih's navel with a sad look. It was here that he always complained.

"Mih, Radit's coming," he said.

"Sorry, every arrival of Radit only brings complaints and sadness. Radit was confused, who would want to tell. No one can be a good listener for Radit. Except, Mamih." Radit rubbed Vivi's tombstone longingly.

"It turns out that it hurts, Mih, was stabbed by his own brother. Why is it always my brother who becomes a pebble in every happiness that Radit will get. Why is it that you're always the biggest wedge?"

"Mih, if Mamih is still alive, maybe Radit will feel the affection of Brother. Radit wants to feel his affection, Mih. Like Brother who is always spoken to and also joked by Brother. But, you only think of Radit as a mere display."

"Radit's simple desires are like impossible things to happen. Brother is still brother, man is stubborn and also hard-hearted."

Radit feels comfortable here. He also ate next to the Mamih's navel. It was as if he was letting go of longing with his mamih.

The place where Radit's spirit appears is right here. When Radit had vented everything, the burden on his heart was gone. Although she never knew the warm gentle touch of the Mamih, she always felt that the Mamih was always beside her.

Especially when Radit dropped yesterday in Ausi. His head was gently rubbed by a warm hand. And he's so comfortable. Likewise, if Radit had complained to the mamih. The night the Mamah will come into his dreams. She smiled warmly and hugged her body very tightly.

You're the pride of Mamih. You're a great kid. Mamih loves you.

Radit looked at his watch. He moved from his seat. "Mih, Radit went home first, yeah. Before Radit returns to Ausi again Radit will definitely return here" he added.

Radit drives his bike to Echa's school. The gate has not yet been opened, indicating that the lesson time is not over. Radit is still waiting for Echa on his bike.

"Raditya," said a beautiful woman

Radit who felt called looked over. He squinted his eyes.

"Who is it?" said Radit.

"You don't want me?" Radit shook his head.

"I'm tuh te ...."

"Bahg." Radit turned to the origin of the voice. And he smiled sweetly at Echa.

Radit put a helmet on Echa's head. There was no other woman in front of him. While Echa's eyes glanced sharply at the woman.

Echa climbs onto the Radit motor and immediately hugs Radit's waist. As if he wanted to show that Radit was his. Radit lips curled perfectly. Because it's not usually Echa like this. Usually he is embarrassed if he has to embrace Radit in the school environment. But, this time even tightly he hugged Radit's waist even though many students saw him.

On the way, Echa let go of her embrace. Radit was shocked. "Help dong" cried Radit. Echa is silent.

Radit continues to drive his bike and takes Echa to a cafe. Radit knows, Echa is sulking. This is called complementarity, when the attitude of Echa like a child Radit will behave more mature.

"Why? You mad?" radit asked as he pointed Echa's face towards him.

Only a sharp look did Radit receive. "I don't know who he is, Bhul. He's the one who pushed me first," he explained.

"I don't like it" he said.

"Yes, I know. I don't do anything with him. You see for yourself, right. My heart is only for you" he said, pulling Echa's hand into his arms.

Are you the same as Radit and Echa?
