The Strange Girl Nathan's
Love

Nathan sees Sukma coming down the stairs. The man had been focusing there since. The atmosphere of the cafe was so unattractive in his eyes. He prefers to wait for Sukma to go down the stairs.

Nathan immediately stood up to Sukma. There's something different. The girl looked down as if she was trying to hide her face. Nathan was worried.

"Daddy, why?" ask Nathan. Sukma remained down.

"We're home, Bang!" Sukma's voice sounded hoarse. Nathan understands, Sukma just cried.

Nathan embraces Sukma's shoulder. He knew, Sukma definitely did not want to be the center of attention of the people who were there.

Nathan opens the car door for Sukma. Make sure the girl is sitting well. After that, he turned around, headed for the other door, then sat in the steering wheel.

"You want to go home? Or do we go for a walk?" ask Nathan. The state of Sukma is not okay. Nathan was so worried about the girl.

"Don't go home yet." Sukma was heard answering quietly.

Nathan according. The man pulled the car out of the parking lot. Nathan drove his car slowly, so that Sukma could all calm down.

Nathan suddenly thought of a place. There, Sukma could definitely let go of his cries.

Sukma who cools himself with his thoughts, stares at Nathan confused as they stop in one place.

"Beach?"

Nathan nodded. "Yes. It's pretty quiet here. You can cry as you like." The man gently stroked the hair of his sister. "Come, down!" bring him.

Sukma. The beach is clean, and it's true Nathan said. In that place it was quiet.

"It's just night time here." Nathan explains, he knows Sukma must be wondering.

Nathan brings Sukma closer to the shore. Letting his second leg be crushed by the calm waves.

"At High School, I was still bullied, without me knowing what my mistake was. In fact, I try not to connect with others. But I kept strengthening myself. Remembering Father who will also think that I told him everything. Maybe you know, too, but choose to be quiet waiting for me to tell you."

Nathan faithfully listened. There was a line of smiles rising on Sukma's lips. However, Nathan knew it was just a wry smile.

"Then Dad died. I think I want to go crazy. My only family, my focus on living my life, was taken with God. I'm hard pressed to accept fate." Sukma's tears trickle down, remembering how sad he was when left by the one and only most precious in his life.

"But given Dad's sacrifice all this time that I have been willing to accept, I slowly began to rise. I remember Dad's words. "Don't drop out of school, yeah, kid. Breaking up school is hard, proof gini father. Working hard, where the needs are increasing day by day." That's what Dad always told me.

"That speech that always made me excited to go to school despite being bullied. I want you to feel something that he has felt before. Being able to buy what he wants, no need to think about enough money or not. I want you not to feel restless thinking about what tomorrow will eat. I want, one day, to be able to meet whatever needs Dad asks for. But I didn't wait for that time.

"Although Dad is gone, I still intend to continue my school so that your sacrifice is not in vain. But it turns out, it's getting worse. I'm always under threat, always bullied, and at my peak I'm almost dikerik0s4. I gave up at that point. I was scared, because there was nothing else I could trust. I'm alone. Everyone has the possibility of hurting me, so I stayed away from them. The fear always comes when someone approaches me. I always felt disgust when someone accidentally touched my skin. I was alone in the dark. Trauma twice, and worse than the first."

Sukma looked at Nathan. "Do you know what makes me angry now?" Nathan was silent. He knows, Mr. Black must have told Sukma everything.

"The cause of my trauma, first or second, is the same person. My own real mother."

Nathan embraces the girl's shoulder, then takes her into the arms. "Am I that bad, huh? My way of life is so!" Sukma's voice sounded hoarse. The girl was crying too much, making Nathan very pitying.

"There's something crazier than that again. You want to know?"

Nathan nodded slowly. Sukma's Meksi didn't look because looking ahead, Nathan knew Sukma felt the response.

"The person I love is my own brother. His father was also the mastermind of everything. Funny right, Bang, my life?"

Nathan immediately stiffened hearing Sukma's words. Of love? Why does it feel like Nathan's heart is very sick to hear the reality spoken from Sukma's lips? Come on, Nathan, you're brothers. Nathan tried to strengthen himself.

"sickness, Bang! I find it hard to accept this reality."

Nathan remained silent. The man is busy controlling himself. Sukma was sad, Nathan should strengthen the girl.
