FALLINGS
EIGHTEEN

Inside the warehouse, Hexa was already limp. The clock has shown at 20:00 WIB. Hexa's face was pale, her scent was musty because of the dust flying in the room. Her tears were no longer dripping, they were already drying up.

DORS.... DORS.... DOR...!

Harry tried to knock on the gate, but no school guard came. He peeked out of the fences, nil.

He finally decided to climb the fence. Left his motorbike still outside the school fence.

It worked!

Harry jumped up perfectly and had already entered the schoolyard. At the peep of the school guard at the security post, there was nothing.

"Where are they?" Thought surprised. But then he quickly spread his thoughts and rushed towards the back of the school. Following Hexa...

DORRR.... DORRR... DORRR !

Chequek... Ceklekkk !

Harry banged on the barn door and tried to open the doorknob.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh... Padlocked...

He murmured in his heart. There was no answer from inside the warehouse, Harry grew anxious.

"Xa....Hex....! The darling? It's me..." Harry called out to Hexa from the outside. There is still no authorization from inside the warehouse. Harry was making sense, trying to break the padlock.

His two eyes went around circling what things around he could use to damage the door.

"Ahhhhhhhh.. Got..." Both his eyes were fixed on a crate containing handyman equipment located beside the warehouse.

There's a hammer. Harry took the hammer

And....

BRAKKK ! IT WORKED!

The padlock was broken, Harry pushed open the door of the barn and saw Hexa sitting down in a chair.

"Xa... Hex..." Call Harry while squatting right in front of the limp Hexa.

Hexa slowly opened her eyes, though,

"You're coming...." Both Hexa's eyes seemed relieved, her body was still trembling, Harry wrapped Hexa's body with his jacket that was still moist. Hexa fell in Harry's arms, exhausted...

A while passed, Harry deliberately waited for a while for Hexa to recover a little and calm down. Harry rubbed Hexa's hair into her back.

" Let's go home, '" take Harry in a soft voice. Hexa sighed, unwilling to let go of Harry's embrace. Harry stroked Hexa's cheeks and kissed her lips for a long time.

"I love you" said Harry. As Hexa's strength increased, she got up from her seat with Harry's help. Harry propped up Hexa's body and took her walking outside the warehouse. They immediately headed to the front gate of the school.

Upon arrival in front of the security post, the school guard who was picketed that night had not returned. I don't know where. Harry immediately went into the post and searched for the absorbent keys in the drawers.

Got it!

"Indeed, stupid guard, he could have left his duty!" Pissed Harry while opening the school fence lock. When it opened, he walked out of the gate with Hexa. He locked the fence again and threw the lock of the fence lock into the post. Falling in the post.

"Let's..." He muttered then turned on the engine and hugged Hexa back home.

Along the way home, Hexa hugged Harry tightly from the splotch. The rain had also subsided, leaving behind a cold night wind. Hexa buried her tiny body on Harry's fielded back. He felt warm, he felt safe. Her boyfriend came to pick her up, thank goodness...

They've reached the fence of Hexa's house. His brother Hexel was pacing the porch, waiting for Hexa.

Just as Harry's bike stopped, Hexel's face was already seen cursing at Harry.

"YOU..." Hexel's voice came to a halt as Hexa pushed her brother to stop shouting.

--------‐----------------"----------------------

Hexa had a bath, her hair was wet, she washed her hair with many shampoos to remove the musty smell. Hexa then grabs her phone, looking for Harry's number.

Hexa: Thank you, baby, for coming.

Harry: Yes... Is it fresh? already eaten?

Hexa: I'm still scared, traumatized

Harry: Yes, baby. What matters now is that it's safe, right?

Hexa: Yes, but who would shut me up. So mean.

Nick : Amos.

Hexa: Amos?? Wh why?

Harry: He hates being with us, he wants me to be with Desy.

Hexa: But why?

Harry : Amos love Desy. He is willing to do anything . But Amos, that fool forgot who I was. I'm Harry. I can even kill him just for you!

Hexa: SSStt ! don't tell me that, honey.

Harry: Yes it is. I've already punched his face. If he disturbs us again, he will not meet tomorrow. I swear it !

Hexa was glued for a moment. He could imagine what Harry's anger must have been like when he had to nail Amos's face to defend himself. He was sure Harry could be even more determined if he had followed his emotions further.

Hexa: come on, let's take a break. I'm tired...

Harry: Yes, go to sleep. I love you, Hexa.

Hexa: Me too.

Hexa turned off the lights and pulled the blanket. He was asleep in the cold of the air that night. And so does Harry. The events of that night became an important lesson for them, to take better care of each other. Forever...

-----------------------"----------------------

" I'm taking you !" Hexel's brother pulled a Hexa bag to go with him on the bike.

"IHHHH BROTHER! NO!" Hexa's voice is rising. Mama and papa who saw the two children had a heated argument that morning reprimanding them.

"You're always making a fuss !" Reproved mama.

"Abang, ma'am!" Hexa was upset, her tone was still rising. While his brother Hexel did not want to lose.

"You are stupid! I told you your friend wasn't good, still is!" Hexel complained while continuing to harden the sound.

" Already! What the fuck are you guys!" Papa was reprimanding.

" Tuh, papa's favorite girl! It's asking for mercy, it's hard to say. Still close to a jerk!" Hexel Bait. Hexa growled, her eyes bulging.

"STOP BERATED HIM ! OR..." Hexa's voice stopped

" Or what???!" Challenge Hexel.

Hexa threw away her face. Run out of the house and get on Harry's waiting bike. His parents and brother just watched as Hexa passed by without being able to do anything about it. Hexel took a deep breath, trying to think clearly, easing her emotions.

"You, if you talk to your sister slowly, be careful... The harder you get, the more you fight him, son." Papa advised his first child. Hexel just looked down. He can't take it anymore. She's getting sick of her sister and Harry's romance. He thought hard how to get them out of touch. Hexel isn't evil, but she still can't find a compelling reason to accept Harry as her little sister's lover.

Hexel thought hard, hard. He wants to separate them. Soon !
