The Reprisal of Bully Victim Girl
Chapter 38

Early in the morning Geet woke up with his hands wrapped around his body.

His eyes bulged, so shocked Afran slept while hugging him from behind.

Afran slept so soundly, it was obvious the man was exhausted.

Geet could not bear to wake him because he remembered Afran always lack of sleep.

And again he also remembered last night he had asked Afran to accompany him for fear of another nightmare.

Be careful Geet releases Afran's embrace and gets off the bed.

Remembering last night he dreamed Huza was in pain, making him smell and cry as if he felt the pain of the man.

"Shhhh...."

Geet turned to Afran who was holding his chest while hissing like pain.

But the man is still sleeping.

His expression was exactly the same as Huza's painful expression, making Geet anxious as to what her heart was in pain.

"Afferent... Lo why?" Geet rubbed his head.

Suddenly Afran grabbed his hand and held it right in his left chest.

"Kalo Huza is in pain, you're also nervous. I know it hurts so much. We need to get this over with, Fran. Hold on a minute."

Afran stopped whimpering in pain and his facial features returned to normal.

Geet is determined that soon this will all have to be revealed. He could not bear to see Afran in pain.

Before long Afran woke up, surprised to see Geet was neat and was dressing up polishing powder on his face.

"Where are you going, Geet?"

Geet looked at it. "You have breakfast at the restaurant."

"Restaurant?"

"Yes. At your favorite restaurant. We have breakfast there, find a new atmosphere. After that we look at Grandma Tini's granddaughter."

Afran rubbed his eyes, confused. "Tumbents. I usually eat out and never want to."

"There is no tumbent. Anyway from now on, if you go anywhere, I won't refuse."

Afran eyes kontan glaring. "What really?"

"Yes. Take a shower first."

Afran smiled as he got out of bed. "Means you won't refuse me to take you to the pelaminan.."

Geet gasped looking in the mirror Afran came out of his room with a seductive smile.

Somehow Geet felt happy being teased like that by Afran.

If only you were serious, I would be happier.

***

After asking here and there, Geet and Afran find Granny Tini's house right on the edge of the times.

As soon as he knocked on the door, an eight-year-old boy opened the door.

"Who's looking?"

"Is this Grandma Tini's house?"

"Yes right. But Grandma's dead." The puddle in the boy's eyes made Geet and Afran moody.

"Who's up, Abi?" A woman in her 40s came out of the house. His steps were a bit limp, it turned out that his legs were crooked.

Seeing the two people coming, the woman immediately panicked.

"Due... Sorry, there's no money. I'm asking for time."

Geet and Afran look at each other.

"What do you mean by mother?"

"You were both sent by the Janggar, right? Please tell me I'm asking for time to pay off the debt."

"We didn't come to collect the debt, ma'am" Afran said. "We know Grandma Tini and just want to be in touch. My name is Afran. This one's my future wife, Geet."

Geet glanced while flicking his lips in the blink of a flirtatious eye ala Afran.

"Oohh I guess. oh yes my name is Ratih. This is my son Abi. Please come in."

"Sorry there's no chair."

"It's okay, ma'am." Geet sat lesehan on the mat.

"I'll go back a minute." Practice passing into the kitchen with a step stumbling.

"Abi, sit with Brother."

Abi sits between Geet and Afran.

"Have school?"

"Udah Brother. But since Bang Deni died, Abi never went to school again."

"Lho why?"

"Abi has to help you sell fried food, sister. If Abi goes to school, then I can't sell."

Geet and Afran looked at each other, very sorry for Abi's condition.

Before long Ratih appeared carrying two glasses of water.

"Since Grandma Tini died, you've been selling fried food?" Ask Geet.

Ratih smiled bitterly. "Yes. Ever since my mother died with Deni my eldest son, we lived together. Usually Deni which became the backbone of the family, with a motorbike. But ever since Deni and my mother died in an accident, Abi and I have survived from selling fried foods. Continuing my mother's business selling mobile fried foods. My husband left me after my accident and disability for life. My father died a long time ago. Then all that's left is me and Abi."

It's really sad to hear that.

"Oh yeah this sister knows where my mother is?" Ask Ratih.

"We once bought fried Granny Tini, ma'am." replied Afran quickly. Isn't it funny to be honest in a grave?

"Regarding debt? What do you owe the boss?" Ask Geet.

"I borrowed money for the grave of my mother and son. Also for business capital selling fried foods. But I can't pay it yet. Moreover, the flowers swell. I borrowed three million swell to five million because I was late paying. The results from the sale of fried foods are just enough to eat my and Abi daily. I'm sorry to see Abi has to help me sell. He should have continued school. But with my condition like this, I can't go alone."

Hearing the hardships that Ratih and her son experienced after Grandma Tini and Deni died, making them full.

"Mom don't worry. We'll pay off Mom's debt to the Janggar boss. And Abi will be sure to go to school again."

"Ah but..."

"We are doing good for the future of our marriage, ma'am. We'll fund Abi's education."

Ratih was astonished, Abi could only dumbfounded.

"What right?"

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Afran steady. "From now on, Abi can go to school again. And you can open a stall at home for every day. No need to sell around anymore."

"Thank you.." Ratih and Abi embrace while shedding tears.

"Can I go to school again, ma'am?"

"Yes, Son. These brothers are helping us."

Seeing the mother and child so happy made Geet and Afran's heart warm.

***

After completing the debt of five million rupiah, and taking care of the school Abi also prepared a place to sell, Geet and Afran left the village.

"Now Grandma Tini and Deni can calm down. It feels good to be able to help those who are in trouble."

"Yes. I'm also happy to be able to help those who are in real trouble."

Geet glanced sharply and patted Afran's arm. "What do I think about my husband-to-be?"

"Lho's? Keep on what? Just temen? We've been sleeping together, you know, masa' just temen? I want the responsibility of your marriage. You should be proud." Afran's reply made Geet glare.

"What do you think of me as Semalem?"

It flashed a mischievous idea in Afran's mind. "My hands go into your clothes, and you grunt your back slowly. Keep me elus-elus lo chest, keep... Aaaaww..."

Geet pinched the hard waist of Afran. "Genit is usually.."

Afran chuckled and pinched Geet's cheek. "Handering. I'm not doing anything. I can still use it."

"Don.."

"Now we go to the restaurant, I get info that Emon and Don used to have lunch there. We can get them."

The thoughts made by Emon made Geet furious again and wanted to teach him a lesson immediately.
