Bebegigs
Chapter 58's

The morning was still drizzling as the orange descended towards the city at the foot of the mountain. The cold rain felt comfortable on his face. With a quick step he walked down the sandy path, wanted to get to the edge of the highway. la still around the grassy field, he was, his rubber boots were treading on a puddle that was strewn across the path, when suddenly there were footsteps behind him.

Someone is following him!

he trembled and accelerated his pace. Who her? Whatwant?

"Hey... Orange!"

Orange reverse body.

Magenta.

"Did you wear it early in the morning?"

With his hands, Magenta combed his thick curls wet with rainwater back, and smiled broadly at the Orange. "I'm waiting for you." He wore black denim jeans and a T-shirt lined with his favorite army striped parka. His face and back are very tanned.

Orange did not return her smile. "Gen don't start. I'm in a hurry..."

"I just want a ride" said Magenta, hurrying to match the orange steps. "It just so happens that I have to carry the goods to Serang. Keep me on your mind. Maybe you want to go together. That's even if you don't want to get in the car..." Magenta did not continue his words, only pointing at the car parked on the asphalt road across the grass field hesitantly.

Orange sees the red pickup behind Magenta. The door on the driver's side was left wide open.

"Whose car is that?"

"Car shop. I told you I wanted to bring stuff to Serang" said Magenta with a smile again. "Do you want to go for a walk?" he grabbed hold of Orange's hand, but the girl pulled her hand away.

"No. I'm in a hurry to get to college."

Magenta's face looked somewhat offended. "Yes already. I'm anterin straight to campus. Come, splinter. It's getting worse, huh."

"No need" push orange.

"Why?" Magenta raised his eyebrows. "You think you got out of a pickup truck? Yes, I've dropped you a little far from campus!"

"I'm just in a storm again" said Orange.

"I don't want to make a fuss with you either, Orange. I just want to go together because we happen to be in the same direction."

Orange hesitated, then looked at the darkening sky.

"You promise you won't be weird?"

Magenta raised his right hand, pretending to swear. "No. Unless you ask first" he replied with a laugh.

The orange eventually followed Magenta to his car and opened the door on the passenger side.

"Pake the ladder for naek," Magenta told me.

Orange sat and closed the door. Magenta ran around the car and jumped to open the door on the driver's side. He looks great, the orange.

Magenta slipped behind the wheel and flashed an evil smile. "You look at bete. I think I know what you need. Long walks" he said, holding onto his orange shoulder with his warm hand. "Why don't we go to the beach?"

Jokingly, Orange hit Magenta's hand to get away. "Gen. You promised!" The orange grabbed the door handle, but it was clearly not serious.

Magenta started his car and started driving away from Cipagenggang.

The orange looked at Magenta silently, observing his handsome face. He forgets how much this guy can be so much fun sometimes. It was relaxing and comfortable with him, as it was.

Orange almost said yes.

What harm?

Magenta squeezes the orange shoulder.

But no, thought Orange. It'swrong. The faces of his parents crossed his mind. I have to go to college. I've been ditching Magenta too many times.

"Down me in the alley to Violet's house" he said, with a straight look at the windshield. "You're still craving, right?"

Magenta turned his car at the crossroads with a sullen face.

Of course Magenta knew where the alley of Violet's house, he had several times to deliver Orange there even though until now he still did not know who his friend named Violet was. The orange often says it but never introduces them.

Orange never told Magenta where he lived during college. They parted ways in the alley whenever Magenta insisted on escorting the Orangas to the boarding house. Even before he moved into Miss Lastmi's house.

Orange knows exactly what Magenta is thinking when it comes to going to his hostel. So that they can be alone without parental supervision and avoid the views of the people in their village. And that could mean very dangerous.

The young man did not want to disappoint his parents. He can't trust himself if he lives alone with Magenta.

Orange turned his head, and saw disappointment on Magenta's face.

The guy doesn't seem to be just disappointed. But also wrath. His anger bubbled over as it was once again rejected by his lover.

They drove towards the orange boarding house in a silent, gripping and somber silence.

Magenta lowered the orange on the side of the road, and the girl ran into the alley without saying goodbye.

Orange saw the ambulance when he just turned into an alley towards Bu Lastmi's house.

"Oh, my goodness! Why Miss Lastmi?" his screams, and he began to run across the neighboring courtyard towards the house.

But when he got closer, he only realized that the ambulance was not parked in front of the house of Miss Lastmi. The vehicle was parked in front of a nearby house.

he stopped and stood in the street of the car, seeing two paramedics dressed in white carrying out stretchers towards the ambulance.

Covering a blanket up to his chin, the person on the stretcher groaned in pain, his eyes closed tightly.

Orange immediately recognized him. Mr. Rustam or Mr. Rusman, whoever he is. Paramedics pushed the stretcher into the ambulance and closed the door.

A moment later the ambulance moved away from the edge of the road, the red light burning, reflecting the light on the green leaves on the tree.

An orange view is directed to the house of Miss Lastmi. The old woman was standing behind the gauze door holding her black cat.

"Bu Lastmi, what's wrong?" ask Orange while running around to the terrace.

The old woman was smiling. But as Orange approached him, he immediately changed his expression to one of sadness. "Kasian the Rusman." He opened the gauze door for the orange. "Jelek is his fate, the Rusman. Must be because the custom is ugly."

"But... why? Why her?" ask Orange while holding his breath.

"Jelek is really his fate" repeated Miss Lastmi. "He fell and his pelvis was broken. Oh, it must be really sick." He shook his head. "But yesterday he told me to be careful. Duh, pity, pity."

Orange looked at the face of Miss Lastmi without asking any more, the feathers have brimmed.
