WHAT ABOUT ME?
37

"aarrhgh.."

Rumi shrieked in pain as the wooden block Nina was holding suddenly landed on her head.

I was surprised a little surprised when I saw the soap opera scene, which suddenly came a hero who would help his victims.

Dar ah fresh flowed from Rumi's temple which apparently came from a rusty nail stuck on the end of the beam.I was horrified to imagine the effects of the rusty nail.

I turned my gaze to the person who arrived and kicked Nina's arm so that the wooden block she was holding was misdirected.

with hands and feet still shaking, I tried to retreat to keep my distance from Nina and Rumi's range, while watching the man who was staring fiercely at Nina and Rumi.

"what are you doing huh! " screech Nina emotion to the mysterious man who arrived arrived and yet the man just kept silent without answering questions from Nina

"jeez Rumi, Rumi you're still aware right, I'm sorry, this is all Jasmin's fault, we're having a hard time because of that ugly girl" he said he approached Rumi who sat down while holding his head that was still bleeding.

"arrgghh Jasmin sia*an, I'll reply you later! " squeak Rumi in between her pain.

the man approaches Nina and Rumi, snatches Nina's phone and slams her right next to them sitting down. Not left, the phone was immediately pe cah instantaneously in one jolt.

the man approached Nina and Rumi then whispered something in their ears.

I don't know what the guy said, though, but I can see if the two girls were shocked even they immediately stood up and walked while struggling to leave this empty building without even turning their heads towards me.

after their departure, the man then opened his hoodie cover and turned to walk towards me.

I looked at that face, it felt so familiar to my eyes when the bead was rubbing against me.

"Jasmin." call him slowly.

"how do you know my name? " tanya I stammered a brick

"you don't recognize me? " he asked sounds like disappointment.

I shook my head slowly, even though there was one name on my mind, but I didn't want to guess the hell, just let him introduce myself so that I didn't mistakenly recognize someone.

"pendant necklace" he said

I was silent for a moment, the pendant necklace, wasn't it a gift from William, so my guess wasn't wrong from earlier, the man in front of me was Liam, my childhood friend.

"Liam's? "

he smiled his smile, I think it was true, he was William.

"you remember? "

"i see from your eye bead.The eye reminds me of my childhood friend, and the pendant necklace, I have one and it's from you" answer me while showing the necklace perched sweet in my le her.

"i'm glad you remember me"

I just nodded, although this was our first meeting after being separated for quite a while, but I did not feel awkward because we were very close and Liam was still the same, he was warm and liked to talk to me.

after tidying up my clothes, Liam invited me to leave this empty building and took me to a meatball shop not far from my school.

after parking the motorbike, we walked together to a fairly crowded meatball shop.

I allowed my look at my childhood friend, apparently after being separated for quite a long time, he experienced many changes, even his height which was once the same as mine has now changed, he said, he is so much taller than me that he is only on his shoulders.

"ish don't go to the streets first napa, I'm just surprised by you.your old feeling was the same height as me, why now so higher you anyway" I answered with an occasional look in his direction.

"it grows upwards, not sideways.it's short! " he scoffed

I put on my smile, since the first meeting with Liam I had slightly forgotten the incident that had just happened to me.

"sir meatballs and iced oranges two yes, eat here" said Liam, after which he took me to sit on the last seat.

"you how are Liam, it's been a long time yes we did not meet, indeed now you live where, how are om and aunt? " ask me in a row when we're sitting down

"as you can see, I'm still breathing and sitting in front of you. Father and mother are very healthy, thank God,

I live at grandma's house, later I invite you to visit there.You go to school in SMK 1? " sanyanya.

"hu um, I really want to be a designer so the school there majored in ta bu there. oh yes, by the way you live in your grandmother's house, your grandmother, same with aunt and mom, right? I miss being just like him! "

"definitely because often see Aunt Hana sewing right, so you want to be a designer.

it just so happens that your father still lives outside the city of Jas so you can meet them.

actually I sentin to stay with grandma because I want to meet you, it's been a long time I did not visit your house, actually there, the plan to go there, but not yet accomplished, I met the same guy"

"it's a shame we're not a school, if you know you're going to school there, maybe I'll also choose a school at your place"

"where did you go to school? "

"at SMA 2, deket also from here. oh yes, how are om and aunt? " ask Liam.

"good mother Liam" I replied quietly as I lowered my head

"then om? " tanyanya

"uh why are you, how come the cry? " liam panicked when he saw me who arrived crying, he grabbed a tissue and immediately rubbed my cheek slowly.

even though I was all my strength not to cry, but still, when remembered by my father, my heart would be immediately weak and the clear melt came back out.

"dad-dad no longer exists Liam, dad died a year ago" I replied

"innalillahi wa inna Ilahi rojiun, sorry I really don't know Jas, sorry for making you remember about dad again, already yes, you have to be tough and strong, you have to be strong, I'm sorry I made you sad again" said Liam.

"it's not your fault Li, I just haven't been able to be strong if I think back to my father, sorry yes, so long time no see, I just love you crying" kekeh me in between tears.

"already, you calm yourself first yes... "

a few minutes later, our order arrived.

I stared enthusiastically at a serving of sweet-taught jumbo meatballs in front of me.

but a moment later I fell silent, in this moment I remembered Yuda who was then inviting me to eat meatballs after rain and apparently that day was our farewell day.

I immediately turned to Liam who was pouring sambal on his bowl.

"Liam, after this you won't leave me again right? " ask me directly.
