Walking Dreams
The Girl Underground

"hey chairman! you don't look excited, what's up?"

a tall man with his blond hair tied back broke the reeds of Alang. Alang just shook his head, saying there was no problem.

" that person is coming soon, better fix your face."

Alang just stupefied, what a bad expression that needs to be repaired.

" just.. sometimes something comes that does not match the timing" said Alang.

this time Jean no longer focuses on a girl who sings on a small stage in front of her.he sees the look of her friend who still looks a little bit riled up.

"that dream must have been really annoying huh, I remember when we were 10 years old.you were found asleep on that "cliff."

yes, sleeping while walking is a serious problem for Alang. So do not be surprised if during sleep, his room will be in the key from the outside. All that there is a reason, Alang not only do it once, but arguably weekly habits that occur several times. Jean, Alang's friend since they knew it, even he had found his best friend was asleep on the beach.

"you can walk that far when you wake up, I really don't believe it yet."

" but you found me."

"well.I even cried in fear, but funny, when you woke up you laughed happily."

" i haven't dreamed of it in a long time, it's the only good dream."

PLAKKK!!

"what are you doing?! that's sick!" Alang protested when her back was hit hard by Jean.

" well Alang, let's forget that dream and cheer up. You should enjoy this fun time.understand?"

"how I tid-"

" you must enjoy it, man, lest you be disappointed for wasting time.we will think about it, but...when you don't feel frustrated!!"

Alang smiled resignedly, he was grateful for having such a good friend as Jean. Although he was known as a delinquent at school, but still he was a swimmer who donated many awards to the school. his best friend and best rival.

" well, I'll follow your advice sir!"

…………………………………………………………

"sister Jean!!! can you take a photo?"

Jean just nodded with a smile.he was already used to this. Swimming club fans could be said to be on par with the basketball club at Hope school , they are so many that the swimming club needs three managers to overcome several things.more swimming club hope is one of the most talented and potentially in the area, to several times enter the race at the national level.

" brother Jean, isn't he with brother Alang?"

ah, of course they will look for Alang as well. Jean just shook her head.

" i don't even know, it looks like I have to find her"

" kyyaaa!!!! jean is the best when she smiles!"

the girls were still in a fuss, but their eyes were still trailing Jean's departure until she disappeared.

" hhhh, those girls, she must be there"

Jean looked up at the stairs to the second floor, and then immediately walked because she knew Alang must be there.

" the pool? the fans are looking for you. I told you to have fun."

Alang turned his head, he sat by the pool and dipped some of his legs there.

" this is how I have fun."

" you just want to avoid, I know that."

" if you know why you're still asking?"

"uhhuh! look at this boy. I really want to crush you !"

" go there! you're just intruding"

Jean glared in annoyance.he went up to Alang and kicked him hard.

"hey hey, we're meeting an important guest!"

Alang raised both his hands a sign would not comment again.

" Ah!!! it turns out that here you two are. Our special guest has arrived. "

William waved his hand, walking up to them while holding his new girlfriend.

"sorry to interrupt dating kalia-ukhhh"

not finished William spoke, Jean had already punched him in the stomach. The boy stroked his stomach with a face of pain.

"you want to cancel my race next week huh?! you thugs!"

" again you speak, I'll throw you in that pool!!!"

"hahaha, well our friends should meet the guest with a bruised Tampa face understand."

Alang approached them, preventing the umpteenth fight from continuing. With a sour face holding back their anger they obeyed what the chief said. They won't rebel, because the leader is in "killing laugh" mode".

They immediately went to the first floor, Alang's heart was still a little unsettled. For a long time he had not met "that man" , this time he would prove it seriously.

From a distance Alang had already seen the shadow of the person he admired. He was shaking hands with people there who were mostly members of the swimming club. Their faces were mixed with admiration. At that moment, he looked at Alang, then smiled waving his hand. Alang was a little surprised, then walked over to him.

"oho!! you're getting taller and sturdier."

" That guy" ruffled a well-combed reed hair. He threw a pleasant smile, making Alang nervous to want to start a conversation.

"i won it!"

Alang said slightly softly, the person frowned confusedly.

" won?"

"national High School swimming competition .I won it!"

The person was surprised for a while, then laughed while patting the back of the strong Alang several times.

"haha!! I told you manager lean!!! he's gonna win! haha!!!"

" Aline, lower your voice!"

Said the glasses girl beside the tall woman named Aline, the one who made Alang gugub earlier.

" Good job!!! you should be able to chase after me !!!"

said Aline still patting Alang's back .

" It's still far.you're the country's no.1 athlete, like-"

" Sstt.I beat no.1 when I thought it was impossible, so you can do it."

Alang was stunned, Aline was right she should not be pessimistic.

"Thank you, I will do my best!"

"You know, he was so nervous earlier."

Suddenly Jean interrupted the conversation while carrying her glass of cold drink. Aline with a face came hugging Jean who snorted in annoyance.

"Oh!!! my little brother Jean is here too!! did you miss me?"

" not at all, the one who misses you the most is your big fan"

" You two!! if you really like swimming, don't hesitate to move forward understand.I know you guys love water."

Aline approached Alang and touched his shoulder.

" Are you still afraid of swimming in the sea?"

Alang looked at Aline's attentive eyes, the woman understood with the reaction of Alang who turned uninspired. Aline smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

" One day you will swim in the blue sea happily! hmm?"

The bowed net looked back into Aline's eyes, he smiled again and nodded.

" All right let's have some fun with this food!!!!" aline shouted and immediately grabbed the plate to fill all the good food there.

" A-aline, you gotta watch your food"

" just relax, lean, the coach is not here. and please let me just this time ok!?"

" lean let out a heavy sigh.Alright do what you want Aline.

That way, Alang also tried to forget the dream he had just experienced before going to the meeting earlier. With his friends who kept making him laugh, Alang realized there were things he needed to enjoy and could laugh freely.

………………………………………………………………

Alang felt a chill all over his body, and the pungent smell of damp soil made his brows frown. Slowly his vision began to light, he saw the light of torches on the wall which he thought was a cave that was a passageway. There was a faint echoing sound in the distance. A familiar voice in his ears. He knew the place, some he visited, and saw the girl there with a sad face.

Alang stepped up and approached the origin of the sound, at the end of the hall he saw an iron door. Alang's chest hurt, even just by looking at the door he felt tight.

The door was unlocked, and Alang opened it slowly.he saw the silvery golden-haired girl sitting behind bars. Staring at him softly, the girl stepped forward.

"You're calling me again?"

Alang looked down, he wanted to cry. A few hours ago he was in the ravine, and yelled insultingly at the girl in front of him, but now he wanted to hug her and say that he was afraid of losing.

"Hahaha, I don't know if I hate you or vice versa. Wh why? why did you come to my dream? "

The girl looked at Alang meaningfully, she wiped Alang's tears from behind the bars and stroked her hair.

" Sorry"

Alang looked at the girl in surprise. For the first time he spoke even though his voice was soft but pure. Maraih Alang hands the girl, clutching her firmly.

" Why now?"

" Because "he's not here"

" Him?"

The girl nodded.

"You must have seen it, the man with the cover on his left eye."

but suddenly the girl shook her head, saying in her heart she should not have told Alang.

"I'm sorry for making you sick, but in this dream and in real life, you're all I think about. The dream came suddenly when I first met you"

The girl spoke puree with a guilty face.His tears poured out unstoppable.

"I couldn't help it even though I didn't want to. when I got hurt, when he started making me cry. I-I don't know who to yell at. I don't know who to ask for help. I-i.forgive me..."

the girl was still sobbing, she could not look at the wounded Alang. Alang was still down, but was soon distracted when he saw the bruise on the girl's leg. Alang.

" I don't know what to do. I don't know if I hate you. But you're hurt and it makes me sick! I hate this situation, I want to get rid of this dream. But you're gonna disappear, too."

Alang could only squeeze both of his hands firmly. See how tortured that girl is here.

"Did you remember that dream on the beach? why isn't it coming again?"

Alang asked, but the girl only fell silent with a sad face.

" Okay, maybe you're not ready to answer. But I need to know what your name is"

However the girl was still speechless looking at him flat. Her face no longer expressed as if Alang was not there. The nettle scrunched his forehead. He looked back, and saw the door of the room open. He turned back to the girl, this time the girl's face was so pale and slowly walked back in fear.

"No, not again!!!"

Alang looked at the one-eyed man and tried to restrain the man's body from doing anything terrible. But free , Alang only touches the empty shadow . The man penetrated it and walked towards the "tools" he used to wear.

The girl sat in a corner with fear.

"I beg you, isn't that enough! why are you trying to take it from me again!"

The man looked at her, then spat.

"Do you have any right to comment?!"

The man opened the iron bars in front of him. And forcefully pulled the screaming girl begging to be released.

"No!!! that's sick! please stop!!!"

" Be quiet as always!!!"

The man snapped at her and tied her to a shabby mattress. He took a few needles and stabbed them in the leg. The girl screamed hysterically as the needle was twisted violently in her flesh.

" No!!! please stop you madman!!!!"

Alang tried to shout loudly in the man's ear and grabbed the empty air, trying to stop the crazy deed before him.

" Dammit!!!! stop!!!!"

Alang could only cry and grab her hair in frustration. Some needles were re-attached to the girl's arm.

" Abkkkhhh!!!! help!!!! The nettle!!!!The nettle!!!!hhhhhkkhh!!! ALANG!!!!"

The girl just shouted hysterically in pain while sobbing.the man continued to twist around the needle that he puncture Tampa expression. Alang could not look at him. He could not!.

" i'll be done if the contents of this jar are full! and stop calling that unknown person!"

Alang raised his head, then saw the man was collecting something shiny. He was shocked when he saw the sparkle of jewels scattered around the girl. Alang looked at the girl who was crying, her hands shaking violently and clenching firmly. Alang approached the man with such deep emotions. Whether he was conscious or not, the boy punched the man's cheek hard. Made him bounce and hit the iron bars. Alang was ready with the next blow, but the girl's scream stopped her.

" Fuck!!!"

The girl screamed in her pain. Alang tried to get closer but the whole room felt blurred and began to irregular.The floor he incandescent turned into a black vortex. Alang looked for the girl, but she was not there. As if pulled from below, the reeds sank into the black hole so quickly.

" Charcoal! The nettle!"

Alang opened his eyes and found Jean shouting her name.

" We've reached your house! you sleep so soundly. You're fine? you're so sweaty right now."

Alang was still silent and trying to catch his breath.

" Am I trying to get out of the car?"

" Yes, when you go over the "that" cliff, you try to stop the car. Fortunately, I forced you to drop off. If you choose to ride the bus it will end there."

Alang sighed. And get out of the car.

" His name is Carla"

said Alang to Jean, the man looked confused.

"Who?"

" The girl's name underground is CARLA!"
