The Injured
Struggle

Echa's steps felt shaky as she moved away from Radit. Both hands were coiled around Echa's waist until her steps came to a halt.

"I love you, Cha."

Echa gasped at Radit's words and his hand was already coiled around his waist. Four pairs of eyes stared at Radit and Echa with a difficult to decipher gaze.

"Ehem." Deheman someone made Radit let go of his hand. And Echa immediately lowered her head when she saw who was standing not far from her.

"Sorry, Om." Radit was completely relaxed and there was not the slightest bit of anxiety in his heart.

For other men who face papa and Echa's father will be nervous and scared. Unlike Radit, he knows how Rion and Gio are.

"You sit down" Rion told Echa and Radit.

Rion stared at the box on the table and opened it. He breathed a rough breath.

"My son already has a lover, so don't be the third person in my child's relationship." Echa widens her eyes and she rem*s her hand because her father thought she was still dating Riza.

"Still dating, Om. I can still stab in the third or place," he said relaxed.

Echa just bowed and could not chimed in her father's words. Gio was just a spectator. When Echa looked at him, Gio just shrugged his shoulders. In his heart he laughed.

"Basic rock," Rion scolds Radit.

"Doesn't love have to be fought for, Om?" ask Radit.

"Because I seriously love Echa, that's why I really intend to corner Echa. Before the wedding book in hand there's still plenty of opportunity, Om." Gio smiled faintly at Radit. What an amazing kid.

"But I just want my son to be loyal to one man" he said.

Echa dared to look at her father. "Well, can Echa talk." Gio and Radit stared fixedly at Echa.

"Actually, Echa and Riza's relationship was long over. And sorry, Echa just spoke up now. Because Echa knows if you know any of this, you'll be angry and hate Riza" he said.

"Echa nyesel for not knowing what you said first. It turns out that it hurts when sacrifices are avenged with treason." Echa was bowed holding tightness in her chest.

"Here, Deck," said Rion.

Echa approached Rion and hugged his body. "Sorry, Dad. Sorry." That's all Echa said.

"It's okay, honey. From here you can learn, our true sacrifice is not always reciprocated with the sincerity of love by them."

Radit and Gio looked at each other and smiled. In the end, Echa lays it all out to the father. Then the wound in his heart had slowly begun to heal.

"What about Radit?" ask Rion.

Echa stared at Radit. "No Dad, Echa's wound is still gaping and does not want to add new wounds" he said slightly insinuating Radit.

Rion and Gio were smiling, while Radit's face looked bitter. "I'm serious about what I said, Cha" Radit said.

"I was serious about what I said just now."

It was like Gio and Rion were laughing out loud. Their child's character is unique.

"This what?" rion asked who saw the blue box.

"That's a gift from Radit's sister, and Echa give it all back."

"Why?" ask Rion.

"Eat him do not be jealous, Om's child is beautiful so selling sweet," added Rion.

"You really love Echa, prove it. Echa is not a person who believes only speech but also real action" Gio said.

Radit only nodded, if he approached Echa surely Echa would get even more angry. Radit's really upset tonight. Keep looking at him from afar, and very much a sad Echa face.

"I'm sorry, Cha."

The shoulder pat of someone made Radit turn his head. "Getting it is not easy. It takes struggle and extra patience to deal with it" Arya told Radit.

Aryan little bit knows how Echa. He is difficult to fall in love, once in love he will surely be faithful. Hearing Rion's story to him just now made Arya angry. Not without reason, he himself saw the struggle of Echa who was always scolded by his father for always being concerned about Riza. Until the slap was once Rion lay on Echa's cheek.

"Never get sick with Echa, not just Papa and his father will be angry. The cave will be more wrathful" explained Arya. Radit nodded his head. Echa is a special child, so many people protect her.

As the day goes on, Radit struggles to get back close to Echa. Various ways Radit has done, but always failed.

Today school came home early, Echa forgot to charge her phone. So, he could not contact his parents. Mima and Sasa have returned home.

He let out a rough sigh when he saw his wallet, there was no cash he was holding. Because he has bought his two best friends.

"It's walking time" he lamented.

"Father's house and Papa's house are both far away." Echa continues down the road. No one was looking for a taxi either. Riding the motorcycle he was afraid.

Sweat was already pouring on his face, and he saw there was a minimarket in front of him. A smile on his face. At least he could take the money and buy a cold drink to wash his throat.

His steps came to a halt when the motor matic stopped beside him. Echa scrunched her forehead and the impurity opened her fullface helmet. He took the tissue in his bag and wiped the sweat off Echa's forehead.

"More." He gives Echa mineral water, but Echa chooses to leave.

Radit continued to chase after Echa and held her hand. "We're going home" Radit said.

"I want to go home, but not with you" said Echa.

Radit forcefully pulls Echa's hand and tells her to get on his bike. At first Echa rebelled, but when Radit threatened to kiss her in public Echa surrendered.

Radit stopped his bike in front of his house instead of Echa's house. "Why did you bring me here?" ask Echa a little scared.

"With my house again deserted, all the residents again out of the city," he replied casually.

Radit pulls Echa's hand and takes her to his room on the second floor. After entering the room, did not forget Radit locked the door of his room. Echa was really panicking.

"Why do you lock the door?" Echa is really scared right now.

Radit casually removed his jacket, then one by one unbuttoned his shirt and approached towards Echa.

"What do you want Radit?" Echa Sentak. Echa's body trembled violently and she kept trying to retreat and keep retreating. A smile was on Radit's lips.

Echa's body had already hit the wall, and Radit was already closing in on her. "Ra-dit please don't" he said with a face that had been flooded with tears.

Radit continues to get closer to Echa and now he manages to lock Echa's body with both hands. He deeply saw Echa's body tremble and the tears that kept dripping down his cheeks. Radit brought his face closer to Echa's ear. His breath made the feathers of Echa's neck stand.

"I want to ...."
