To My Youth
CHAPTER 33

The next day, - Andheera Apartment.

After several hours of waiting for Operation Lyra, as well as making sure Lyra was okay because it had been moved to the hospital room, Anha told Andheera to go home and leave everything to Anha the reliable class leader.

The slender girl slowly opened her two narrowed eyes, she was already awake from her short sleep, yet she felt her body was not in good condition, then he decided to exercise a little in the morning after changing his nightgown to a short training suit.

When he opened the door, Vivian was making breakfast, with a big smile Vivian greeted the morning Andheera was not so pleasant.

“how did you stay overnight Andheera?” vivian asked to look at Andheera who was stretching her body on her way past him.

“hmmm..” Andheera's rough response while wearing shoes.

“you want to exercise, won't you have breakfast first?” vivian said as Andheera was about to open the door.

“later, (answer Andheera)

oiia you also occasionally have to exercise Vivian, look at your growth instead of up even widened sideways.” Andheera's tease ended with a smile smirk, then began to run out avoiding Vivian's tantrums because it has disturbed her.

City park.

Keenan has been jogging by himself while listening to mp3 from his phone, as if not care about the surrounding that looks to pay attention to Keenan jogging.

The handsome man who has a height of 185 cm is accustomed to public consumption thanks to his good looks above average.

They are not only captivated by Keenan's good looks but the arm muscles that are left open, because Keenan deliberately wearing a t-shirt paired with shorts that also expose his long legs adds to his own charm.

“HEYY!!” call Jiso from behind with his bike he followed Keenan who was jogging alone.

“tlast night you came home what time?” added Jiso again while following Keenan from behind by gently rubbing his bike.

“when you fall asleep.” said Keenan while removing the headphones and hanging it on the neck, feeling it was enough exercise he decided to walk while stretching his two arms.

“why stop, accompany me jogging dong.” continued Jiso still want to chat with Keenan.

“jogging?” keenan's response then stopped his steps to focus his gaze on Jiso who is now in front of him.

“sports I mean hehehee.” Jiso then leaves Keenan.

From behind Keenan still looking at the back of his girlfriend who was starting to move away from his sight, some of his childhood memories began to spring back up making Keenan unconsciously carve a sweet smile on his face.

flashback 6 years ago.

Keenan and Andheera Elementary School basketball. Weekends, as usual they often spend time together on weekends, this time they both intend to visit school.

Riding on Andheera's small bicycle, they both seemed happy to enjoy his journey to school, although Andheera had to shake Keenan but he did not mind at all, the little girl instead let Keenan hold her tightly behind her.

Both of them got off the bike as soon as they arrived. Little Andheera looked at Keenan while still holding his bicycle handlebar.

“try,” Andheera said as she glanced at her bike.

“you said you'd keep piggybacking on me?” Keenan was confused because Andheera suddenly told him to ride his bicycle.

“i can't possibly piggyback you on, you also have to learn to piggyback me.” Said Andheera again.

“I can't” his murmur slowly then bowed his head for not daring to look into Andheera's eyes.

“ya because you have not learned, indeed everyone can immediately ride a bike from birth!” Andheera grew impatient as Keenan continued to dodge.

“a.. I'm afraid Andheera.” Keenan still remains on his feet.

“YAAA!!” andheera's shout made Keenan reflexively ride his bicycle with both hands trembling with fear.

“then you hold the bike yes.” pinta Keenan try to dare to start scratching his bike.

“ya quickly goes!” ketus Andheera who had lost his patience because Keenan continued to deny it, while holding the bike from the back to maintain the balance Keenan so as not to fall.

20 Minutes passed.

Andheera was exhausted from having to run a bit in order to hold Keenan's bike, but it seemed Keenan was still making no progress at all.

Either Keenan is too scared or Keenan memnag does not really study bicycles.

Until Andheera was at her peak, the little girl couldn't stand it anymore and then she stopped no longer holding a bicycle without Keenan's knowledge.

Keenan slowly moved away from his sight, the boy was still unaware that Andheera was no longer holding his bike, Keenan continued to pedal his bike confidently as if Andheera was still guarding him behind.

But when Keenan was about to turn his bike he saw Andheera watching him from afar, he was surprised and lost his balance, as a result he dropped himself on the asphalt.

Finding Keenan who had fallen as fast as possible Andheera ran over to the poor boy.

“you're hurt?” ask Andheera worried.

Instead of answering Andheera's question, Keenan closed his eyes with one hand sign that he was about to cry.

Inevitably for fear of being left behind Keenan tried to maybe hold back his crying, but not his snot that had already come out was not inevitable until it formed a bubble ready to wander.

“eoohh.!!” andheera shouted in disgust as she pushed Keenan's body away from her, for a moment they looked at each other before finally both Andheera and Keenan laughed together.

“hahahhhaaa!” the laughter of the two of them melted the atmosphere.

“what a scared you is riding a bike, aughh!! I can't believe you're older than me, I should be the big brother to you.” complained Andheera who was still looking at Keenan's sad state.

***

After some footage of the past played, he again realized that his life had changed, the environment and the people around him all felt foreign.

He still misses his childhood very much, despite the fact that the girl left him but can not be denied wherever his steps try to go away he still wants to return.

“there is nothing I miss with you, whatever I do in the end my mind will remain fixed on you, evil girl.” He muttered and started to put his feet back.

“tie your shoes off.” said someone from behind who ran past Keenan, Keenan reflex immediately looked at his shoes, then crouched down to put his shoes loose without his knowledge.

5 Seconds passed, Keenan realized there was something stuck in his heart, the voice, the scent was really familiar to him, but when Keenan woke up looking for the girl who had passed him.

He disappeared as if Keenan was hallucinating the girl disappearing in just a matter of seconds.

Not until there after Keenan put his shoes back, he was determined to find the girl in the crowd of people who were jogging, he was determined to find her, he was sure if the girl was the girl he had always missed and she was real around him.

Keenan kept looking while occasionally patting someone on the shoulder from behind ensured his face would be as Keenan expected, but again Keenan only got disappointed he could not find the girl he expected, it was frustrating and almost emotional in public.

“Keenan..” call someone from behind still with his bike Jiso gears closer to Keenan.

“what's the matter, are you okay?” jiso asked when he saw Keenan looked confused, Keenan ignored Jiso, he left without even looking at Jiso.

“Keenan, what's wrong with you? Want me to bonceng.” Jiso was still following Keenan from behind.

“no, I want to be alone.” firmly while continuing to walk with a straight forward view.

Jiso stopped his bike trying to think. “ him why the hell, when I only stayed a few minutes but his attitude became strange. I think he really is a creature from another world.” Jiso spoke for himself.

***

Haneul Hospital Jakarta.

In front of Lyra's room, even though Anha had told her to go home just rest and let Anha take care of everything.

But Andheera could not resist his steps to return to see the state of Lyra. Seeing Lyra was able to sit and smile, making Andheera feel relieved and grateful Lyra is fine.

“not sure is okay? No need to tell parents sister.” Said Anha who was worried about the state of Lyra.

“hhaha even if you tell them, they won't come.” Reply Lyra accompanied by her smile at the end of the sentence.

“why is that so, isn't family always there.” Said Anha again.

“amm, may I tell you a little bit of my life story.”

“if brother doesn't mind, I'll listen to him.”

“hhahhaha well, both my parents were divorced when I went to high school, like most other kids you know, broken home kids I was devastated but they didn't care at all about how I felt,"

"I went with my father, he often left me because he was busy with his work even to make the least amount of time he could, so I did a bad thing for them both to pay attention to me.” Her papar.

“bad thing?” Anha responds to Lyra's story.

“iya, I became a thug at school, often bully weak children, play until late at night sometimes not to go home, and at worst, my last try so that they see me I am on drugs, he said, pathetic is not.” She still tried to give her warm smile to Anha.

Outdoors.

Andheera also heard clearly what Lyra told Anha, she felt that there was something strange in her heart something she could not reveal, she unconsciously felt tears welling up her cheeks.

Although Andheera did not show any expression on her face, the beautiful girl tried to endure the pain that suddenly pierced her heart.

Satisfied with seeing Lyra from the outside, Andheera intends to return home, but as she turns her slender body upside down.

“are you close to Andheera?” continued Lyra.

The sentence that ignited Andheera's steps outside, then glanced back into Lyra's room.

“no, maybe she called me because I'm the head of the hehe class, Andheera is not an approachable girl.” Anha.

“so yeah, what do you think of Andheera?” ask Lyra, who again touched on Andheera.

“emm, to be honest he is a little scary hehehe and also mysterious.”

Lyra smiled at Anha's opinion of andheera.

“what's scary about Andheera?” as if he was very interested in the rough girl, he was so excited when he mentioned the name Andheera.

“the highlight of his eyes, when someone says hello or invites him to chat he will only be silent while glaring at hihihi, he said, I thought he was good at fighting as well but when I heard he was bullied by the senior class until battered, making me think back it turned out that he was just relying on the look of his sharp eyes to scare people. Because in fact he is very weak hahahaa.” He said confidently, as if he really knew the figure of Andheera.
