Again and Again


I had a great day with Jody and I think it was the most beautiful day for me. Jody is the greatest man I think.


Today, when I got home from school, Jody who suddenly got a call from her parents finally did not take me home, and also because that day Andra did not go to school then I went home alone.


I chose to walk home.


When I got home, I saw that Mom was home. Tumben Mama is home.


I came in and Sandra's sister also came home and they both seemed to be waiting for my return.


"What's the matter when everyone's at home?" I asked while removing my bag and putting it on the table and then threw myself on the chair while opening my shoes.


"I got a job outside the area." Sandra began her conversation.


"Good dong, sister." I replied as I continued to open my shoes.


"But then you and Mama will be alone. And, I'm afraid that something will happen. So, Brother and Mama decided that Uncle would stay here together. After all, Uncle's house is also temporarily renovated." said Sandra made me slightly close my eyes, taking a deep and long breath.


"So you know, you're less like Uncle. But, you don't want the same thing to happen again!" this time it was a very strong statement from my brother.


"Yes Ke. Mama's been busy all day, sorry if you're home alone no one's looking after." My mother also began to argue.


"But Ma, I can take good care of myself, really." I gave up even though the fear was always haunting me.


"Sister has decided and Brother will not leave until you agree!" Brother Sandra if this is the case, no one can dispute his words.


I nodded weakly in agreement even though my little heart was far from that word.

And, finally Uncle and his wife actually live here with me and Mama.


A bad start for me. Every day I just get insinuations from them. I can't work, here, that's what.


Moreover, Mama worked until late, as a result they freely made my life like hell. But, whatever they do I silence and assume the wind.


Until one day.....


I came home from school and it was very hot. Upon arrival at home, I headed to my room, momentarily releasing my fatigue, and because of the extremely hot air, I wanted to slightly throw my body in the bathroom.


I stepped into the bathroom. Up inside, I forgot the towel and wanted to get out to pick it up.


When I turned my back, I was surprised that Uncle was already in the bathroom.


"Uncle, what did Uncle do?" He hugged me.


"Pama...." He smothered my mouth, pushed me back until he touched the bathroom wall. I rebelled, but Uncle's strength was very strong.


And, He moved me with his hands, held my body with his body, covered my mouth with his lips.


With great shock, I still tried to rebel. And, finally, with a slight lift of my knee, I made Uncle duck and groan in pain in his groin area.


I, who had the chance to escape, immediately ran out of the bathroom to the room, changed my clothes and quickly ran out of the house.


I cried all the way.


The sky!


I don't know what I can do again. I was too weak to run. I just crouched down, lowered my head until I touched my knees, and both my hands were embracing my knees. I cried in front of Sky!


A minute passed. There was no sign of Sky. I tried to raise my head up, and it turned out that Sky was still standing there, in silence.


It looks different. So different!


He just reached into his pocket, took out a handkerchief from his pants pocket and gave the handkerchief to me. I accepted it, rubbing my tear-filled face.


I looked back at him, Sky remained silent, but now with his left hand extended forward as if to stand up to me.


I bit my lip, but I raised my right hand and stretched it out to him.


Sky took my finger, and helped me stand up. My body is shaking violently. Sky who like to know about it, a little forward and Sky embrace Me in his arms.


It was so different when He hugged me now with when He approached me first. And, I came back crying sobbing in his arms.


Sky let me spill all my feelings in tears, with both hands patting my back, as if helping to calm myself down.


Sky then held onto both of my arms, pulled from his arms, took the handkerchief in my hand and wiped the tears with the handkerchief.


"Sky,why...?" ask him. He didn't reply to me, but was busy wiping my face.


I stopped his hand by holding his wrist.


"Let me clean your face first." He took off my hand, wiped my face again and then helped straighten my hair.


Then, he took my hand, pulled a little towards his car. I followed. Sky then opened the car door, told me to get into the car, closed it, then to the other door.


He drove his car.


I leaned my head against the back of the chair, closed my eyes and tried to take a deep breath to calm myself down. I've even resigned myself to what would happen to me if Sky did unwanted things.


I kept my eyes closed, until I felt Sky's car stop. I slowly opened my eyes, swallowed my saliva. The shadow that didn't already play in my mind.


Sky got out of his car, opened the door for me, stretched out his hand.I took my hand and went down.


Me and Sky were at a cafe near the beach.


He grabbed my finger and pulled me a little to follow him into the cafe, and chose a place in the corner outside the cafe.


He pulled out a chair for me to sit on, and after I sat down, Sky left. Here, I can see the beach with the waves pounding.


Sky then came back and immediately pulled the chair sitting in front of me.I looked at him who was also looking at me. I took a deep breath, threw my face away from her back at the beach. And, closed my eyes again, remembering the incident, and the tears came back down from the eye patch. Without a squash, keep quiet.


I heard only a sigh from Sky. Shortly afterwards, waiters had come to deliver the order that Sky had ordered. I turned my head, smiling a little at the food carrier by disturbing the head of gratitude.


After leaving, I looked back at the beach in front of me. My feelings this time can no longer be described. I remained silent without speaking, and Sky also left Me that way as He enjoyed his meal.
