The Struggle of a Child
In the Middle of Travel
After all this time. We were at school. It did not feel like the clock came home. I who was busy putting the books into the bag heard the screams of my friend.
"Quick, quick ! The door will be closed." While standing in front of the classroom door and his right hand holding the door knof.
I also ran in a hurry. To get out of class.My friend, this one guy likes jail.
If I'm late, he can lock me up from the outside. I said in my heart.
"Liyan, wait!" Shouted my friend Widia from behind the tree next to our classroom wall.
I walked while looking over and over. With both hands holding the rope of the bag I was holding.
"Widia, are you there?!" I approached him directly.
"She, I thought you were home."
"Not yet."
"How long have you been out of class?"
"She, I've been composing books for too long."
We continued to talk while walking.
"Liyan, is the day warming up?" He lifted his head up into the sky.
"Yes." I looked up at the sky too.
Suddenly, I looked to my right side.Spontaneously I was surprised.
Ha! Where's she? I asked in my heart. My head also turned around.
Now, I'm the only one walking alone on this road.
On this hot day. I was alone who seemed to walk. I looked down and counted my steps. My feet suddenly stopped seeing a figure in front of me. However, my gaze still looked down at the black shadow.
Who is this, huh? I said in my heart, frightened.
I slowly lifted my head forward with great fear.
Haa! I was surprised to see it too.
Is he that weird guy?! I stood quietly in front of him too. As both my eyeballs looked at him in fear.
The more frightened I could only remain silent. Quiet me this time.How to find? I can escape from him. The one who got closer to me made me die of lice.
I have to move aside. Little, little by little, back so I can run.
The more I back off. He's also getting ahead.
Then, how is this Liyan? My pale face looked at him. My little legs kept stepping back slowly.My tiny body was already panicking. You want to scream and do not know who? too quiet!
Dad, where is dad? I'm afraid dad! My cry in my heart while being frightened. Both of my hands were holding the bag strap I was still holding. My eyes looked at my shoelaces that were about to come off.
However, that person did not, wanted to leave. He kept coming closer to me.
If I get it. I must have sold it? or at his torment?
This woman has no family?Because I never saw his family?
He was outside when I saw him alone.
I look around me. Ls it? there are people or not. Even if, a child. Whether it's a brother or not.
Tuck in!
Ahaha! Well, where are you going?! The freak bent his body and spread his hands towards me.
I retreated quickly too.
I who was just now, would slip from him could not.
Ha! there goes. I looked down and took a few small stones. To throw him, if he comes near me.
He saw me, looked down and searched.
It must be looking for a rock! I thought while looking at that strange person.
Filing me right. He took the stone just like me. I am afraid of getting confused.
Then where do I have to run from? My panicked and tired face was clearly visible.No one here passed by.
This freak, the longer it gets closer.
Our position from earlier, still here and there. There is no shift. He too, did not want to move from his position, nor did I.
The step I took back. Two steps he took forward. As if he didn't want to lose to me. That's what I saw from him.His laughter gave me goosebumps, which he kept getting out of. Her saliva kept playing in her mouth.Sometimes, she splashed her saliva at me.
I can't cry. If I cry later, I'll be caught by him. If I get it. How did I escape? Seeing a house not far from me is her home .
"Come on! Come here, come with me!" He said while waving his hand at me.
I'm afraid ayaaah! I screamed in my heart.
Lariy!!!
Suddenly, when I swung my foot forward.
Liyan! Someone hit me on the shoulder from behind. I was spontaneously shocked and looked back with a pale face.
"Why?" He said to me standing next to me.
"Come, that's Mom!"
My eyes looked at him and at the strange man. Signalize.
He was also the one standing. Pulling my arm out from in front of the freak.
"Congratulations." I said in my heart because I survived the strange man's goal.
I can finally go home too. With a relieved breath.
"Other times. Go home from school, not alone."
"Yes, Mom."
"Your father is home?"
"Neong Ma'am." We walked to each other's homes.
At the crossroads. We separated, he went home. I also went home to my house.
"Tomorrow, if you want to go to school and go home. Careful, yes!" With a warm smile.
"Thank you, Mom."
My father can't know. If I was in the same field as a freak. If my dad knew for sure he was worried.
I walked while remembering the incident made me lose my breath.
Ha! I'm appalled.
My house is over. I turned my body back and retreated backwards.
I went inside and said hello. The bag I was holding I put beside me first.
seeerr!!!
Glek glek glek!
Drinking the water in my hand. Sit in a chair.
My sister!
I don't see my sister. Is he playing?
Walking looking out.
While from a far direction. I heard the screams of children laughing.
I almost got kidnapped by that freak in the middle of the street. If only, no mother earlier perhaps, I would have been lost?!
.

While somewhere else!
"Sir, sir, sir. I met a beautiful little boy, sir, his son. Well I think I see."
"Certain why? mom talks like that. The name of the children must be beautiful. Okay, so why?"
"We don't have children. Hows it? if only we could raise him as our son?!"
"Where is it, ma'am. He has parents. Where any parent would love their child for another."
"We'll see tomorrow, sir."
Happy reading, friends
