The Successor of the Family

The Successor of the Family
Tense


Arnold was silent in his place, even his body could only stand stiffened and frozen. There was someone who patted her shoulder made her worry because it might be one of the few people who hurt her brother. Arnold did not dare to face the back of his body.


"What's the big deal here?" whispered a girl from behind her body.


Hearing the voice of someone he knew, just a moment ago made Arnold sigh in relief. Arnold immediately turned his body and saw his brother in front of him. The one in front of him and patting Arnold on the shoulder was Anara.


Arnold immediately pulled Anara's hand to leave the school's backyard area. Arnold did not want that until they later even known by someone who became the mastermind of the case bully her brother. Arriving near the hallway of the warehouse, they stopped and watched the surroundings.


"Go back to class. We'll talk about this later at home" Arnold said slowly as he looked into his brother's eyes.


Anara nodded her head in understanding then immediately walked quickly towards her class. Anara had intended to entertain herself into the backyard of the school, but before it even saw Arnold. He came from a back door that was rarely passed making Arnold not know it.


Arnold breathed a little relieved to see her brother had already entered her class. Luckily, Anara's class just stayed straight so she could see that her brother had entered her classroom. Arnold decided to go to the cafeteria because he had been out of class for too long.


As he walked leisurely and turned through the back shed, Arnold heard the voices of several people talking. At first he did not want to eavesdrop on her, but when he heard someone mention Abel and Anara's name, he immediately stopped. He prefers to steal the hear so that who knows can get another clue.


"Are we going to do this with that twin? What's-her-name? Oh yea... Anara," said a man from her voice.


"Not from close proximity. Everyone may suspect that this is already planned" said another.


"Actually we don't need to make Anara wretch either. After all, he is weak, which we must be aware of his sister who also schools here. That's what men are," he said.


Arnold who heard the conversation certainly could only shake his head. Luckily, he had brought his cellphone brought by Mbok Imah from home. He could use his cell phone to record all those conversations. Although actually the initial intention he brought the phone to take pictures of his brother's incident yesterday.


"Yes, he is brave and threatens our position even more" said another.


No more conversations were heard that made Arnold have to leave near the warehouse immediately. Arnold walked slowly and carefully fearing that someone would suspect him. Especially here is very quiet so it is impossible if there are other voices.


Brugh...


A trash can accidentally knocked Arnold's body makes the baby fall. Suddenly the person in the warehouse sounded so noisy that a few footsteps began to walk quickly to the door of the warehouse. Arnold immediately ran fast on tiptoes so that the sound of steps from his shoes could not be heard.


Even now Arnold immediately hid behind a wall close to the bathroom that had not been used for a long time. Arnold's heart was beating so fast because only this time he passed a stressful event without being accompanied by his family.


"Nobody is here? Is it possible that this dumpster fell because of the strong wind?" ask one of the people there.


"What's the big wind that can make this thing fall? Look at this dump full of rubbish and heavy, "others are upset for absurd reasons.


From now on, he had to be careful because they were also targeting him. She also needs to seek help from adults to protect her. Moreover, he had to fight against people who were physically bigger than him.


"If there are people who hear our conversation, it can be serious," said one of them with a panic tone.


Arnold who heard that immediately turned his brain and looked around. Arnold saw one of the animals near the warehouse and then slightly pushed him to walk towards the warehouse door.


Meow... Meow...


All who were there immediately sighed in relief because most likely the one who nudged this trash can was a cat. They also saw the animal jumping up and down near the feet of everyone. They finally walked away from the warehouse after knowing that there was nothing suspicious there.


Arnold giggled in his hiding place as they were all gone. He did not expect that they were all so easily fooled by something like this. The animal that passed by was not a cat, but a rabbit. And the cat's voice came from Arnold himself.


"Why are they so stupid? Where there is the sound of rabbits so meow," he muttered with a small laugh.


Arnold slightly sighed in relief because he was not discovered, it turns out his opponent is not as smart as him. Arnold also intended to leave there immediately because he was worried that someone would come back. It seemed like he had enough to test his courage today.


Taps... Taps... Taps...


As Arnold was about to leave, it turned out to be the sound of steps running towards the warehouse. Surely Arnold who is ready will go straight back to hiding. It seems they have realized that they are being fooled by someone so they return to the warehouse.


"Damn it... Who would dare to bully us?" shouted one of the teachers.


"Hey... Out you. I know you're still here and hiding. You coward.." he exclaimed.


"If I meet people, I'll make a pussy." sorry.


They were all even directly trying to look around to find someone who was working on it. Of course Arnold was now frightened, especially had had seen that they were walking towards where he was hiding. Arnold smothered his own mouth so as not to make any noise.


"Yes Allah... Save Arnold," he muttered without a sound.


Even now his eyes were already glazed over due to excessive fear. He was just a little boy who still needed protection to deal with a dangerous situation like this. He was afraid that until he was caught by the bad people and then injured to make his mother worried also hassles.


While in a tense state like this, suddenly there was someone who pulled Arnold's body and smothered his mouth. Arnold's eyes rounded as he shook his head quickly for fear of being harmed by this person.


Emm.... Emm... Emm...
