Zombie City: Dead or Life
4. Heart Feelings

*Andhika POV*

Sfx:Bruuummm....!!brakk...!!brakk...!!dakk...!!arrgh...!!ugh..!!

The sound of a zombie being hit by a bus rang out to my ears, it made me very excited to fight those zombies.

"Andhika, has your family been displaced" asked Haqqul casually.

"Hmm.I had time to get a phone call from my parents at home vika and her word anyway.there is still safe" I replied.

"Did they deliberately defend your temple?"

"Come on.., but we can hang in there if we can get to my temple quickly without any problems" I said with a face full of enthusiasm.

"Of course" while getting out of the chair and picking up a canned drink in the back seat.

Zidan and Marsha were joking together. Well how else, they've been dating long enough.

Vika and Annisa were chatting with her.

Okta looked sad and sat alone in the back.

I got out of my chair and intended to approach her, suddenly a canned drink was thrown at me.

"For you" said Haqqul.

I received the canned drink that Haqqul threw for me.

"Thank you" I replied.

Haqqul passed by and patted without looking at me and whispered something.

"You like him"

"W-what..?!" I said nervously with a slightly flushed face.

Haqqul then returned to his seat and smiled at me.

I approached the octa and sat beside her, but she kept daydreaming with a sad look looking out the window.

I thrust my canned drink in front of the octa nervously.

"It's.u-for you.."

Okta turned to me and accepted.

"Thank you andhika" she looked at me with a gentle smile.

My heart was beating like an arrow was coming into my heart.

"Just the same." answered me nervously and turned my eyes in the other direction.

Okta was astonished by her innocent gaze looking at my slightly flushed cheeks and my nervous speech.

"Why andhika..?" ask a plain octa.

"N-it's okay.."

"W-are you okay?, I saw that you were sad" said I who still did not dare to look at him.

His face was sad and down. I looked at her face which was full of warm smiles changed with sadness.

"Don't be sad.., do you have a problem.., if there is one I'm willing to hear" I said as I clasped her tender hand.

Okta looked at my smiling face at him, then a warm smile appeared adorning his face.

" Thank you Andhika" she said with a sweet smile.

My heart skipped back and my cheeks flushed, Okta who saw my face just chuckled.

I saw his face again cheerful and it made me relieved and happy.

"Your cheeks are flushed" he said.

Okta began to share her problems with her family, Okta's family often went abroad and she was often left alone with her maid.Okta was banned from joining because her parents went to work to support her.

Every day Okta learns and continues to learn for the sake of making her parents happy, but in her heart Okta feels that her parents do not care about her being lonely here without the affection of them both.

"my parents don't care about me, all they think about is working, working, and working. I also want to get their love, like the other kids"

Okta said in a sad tone.

I who heard the story immediately hugged her tightly.

"They love you so much Okta, actually in her little heart they want to be with her child" I said to calm down Okta who was sad.

"Don't be sad, I'll always be with you... I will not leave you, you are like a new light of hope to me, your smile that makes me forget everything..."

I said that it was all my heart that I had.

Okta was only shocked when I hugged her tightly, then shed her tears in my arms.

After Okta calmed down I took off my arms and looked at her face that had stopped shedding tears.

I took the handkerchief that was in my pocket and wiped the tears that ran down her cheek.

"Thank you Andhika, I feel better now" Okta said.

"Okta... I want to tell you something" I said a little nervously.

"Why say what Andhika?" answer with a plain look.

"Why do you want to be my girlfriend!" I said nervously.

Our cheeks both began to turn red and I saw her face startled and flushed hearing my words just now.

"Yes.if you want to think about it first it's okay, I'll wait for him" while scratching my head with a forced laugh then I see Okta's face down.

"Aahaha.so you've got another yes, I'm sorry to talk like that." with a forced smile and laugh.

"B-that's not what I meant" said a nervous Okta.

"So you accepted me.." asked me with flushed cheeks.

"Yes, I want to be your girlfriend andhika" said her sweet smile with blushing cheeks staring at me.

My heart felt like it was grounded by the bow of love, with a happy face I hugged octa back and kissed her forehead.

Okta was just shocked and returned my embrace, her face visible at the moment of her forehead peeking.

"Cieee..cieee....!!" the voice of my friend's friend simultaneously.

We were both shocked and immediately let go of our embrace.

"You guys!! Since when have you seen us?!" I said nervously withstanding embarrassment.

"Since then" they said simultaneously.

"Congratulations" said Marsha briefly.

"Congratulations on you" said the two of them as they greeted me with happy faces.

"e-uh.. B-can't you?!" okta said defending himself from shame.

"It's b-it's not what you see" said I chimed in Okta's words.

"Already admit it andhika." said haqqul casually.

We were all joking together and laughing, I saw the faces of my friends looking happy and happy, especially Okta who was smiling again.

Sfx:Ciiittt....!!!!!

Suddenly Mr. Shin stopped the bus in front of the supermarket, seen out there there are some zombies hanging around.

Mr. Shin and Kelvin walked up to all of us and made plans to enter the supermarket. Because zombies are out there a lot.

"Sir shin, haqqul, and andhika you kill the zombies that get close to the bus, while the others get into the supermarket and grab some of the items we need only.

Without asking much more we all got ready and got off the bus.

*Kelvin POV*

Mr. shin, haqqul and Andhika came out first and made way for us to pass. Andhika unleashed her wooden sword, in just one attack two Zombies collapsed in front of her.

Mr. Shin threw down the wooden stick that tipped Taper towards the zombie head that was in front of him. The result is Pak shin wooden stick caught and penetrated until the zombie collapsed.

Haqqul casually fought the zombies with 2 blades in his hand, deftly haqqul aimed at the heads of the zombies and stabbed them one by one with a knife in his hand. 4-5 Zombies were killed.

We went into the supermarket and looked for the needed items, while me, zidan, and Rizal checked all the rooms in this supermarket.

Girls carry plastic bags with lots of snacks and stuff, rizal helps them bring plastic bags containing snacks into the bus.

After we felt it was all, we went out and went back to the bus until I and Zidan were left in the supermarket.

I looked around every corner for zidan but didn't find him, and then I found him checking the dark shed.

"Zidan! Let's go back.."

"Alright kelvin" replied zidan.

Suddenly.....

"Zidan!! Watch out behind you?!" yell at zidan.

My eyes widened as there was a zombie behind the zidan intending to pounce on his neck.

I had not had time to run to help him, suddenly a knife shot from behind me and stuck right in the head of the zombie until it collapsed.

Zidan just stared and trembled in fear and then glanced at the zombie, I can only be silent and shocked and then look back and it was haqqul who threw it.

Haqqul approached Zidan and took his knife stuck in the head of the zombie he had killed earlier.

"Just calm down now you're safe zidan" said Haqqul casually.

"Almost.s-only I got your.p-knives" chimpal zidan with a trembling body.

I was relieved that my best friend was helped by my friend, and then the three of us got back on the bus.

Andhika and Mr. Shin who were still driving the zombies also entered and immediately stepped on the gas to leave from there.

Sfx:Bruuummm...!! Brakk...!! Bukk!! Aduakkk!!! Aargh!!!

I closed the door of the bus and saw my friends who were feeling the fatigue and tension earlier.

Haqqul then sat down at his place again and I went up to him and thanked him for saving my best friend Zidan.

"Haqqul thanks for saving zidan, if there's no you I don't know what's going to happen next" I said.

"What are you talking about, Kelvin...? We are friends, our fellow friends have to protect us" he said, smiling at me.

"You're right" smiled as well.

"Where are we going now...?" ask haqqul.

"To zidan's house and marsha, why are you asking that?" answer me in wonder.

"It's okay... I just hope nothing bad will happen to us later" in his flat tone.

Haqqul looked out the window at the sight of the dead city.

"I hope so too" I said.

I then returned to my place with Mr. Shin and continued the journey to his next place.......
