Little chat: I have sent my first story and not long, there's one review! Good, I never thought my story will get a review this fast! Thank you very much, Gali-o-! ( hug ). And for first story there's some mistake I made. For example, the sus cream cake. I thought there're from Java, because mainly I see them in Bandung or Yogya. Infact, they're from European or from Austria for exactly. GYAAAAAAH! How embarrassed! By the way, I heard the name of Sri was popular in Java during 1960- 1970. I very like this name, so I use it as my OC's name. Besides, there's many girl so use this name. Sri Mulyani, the Indonesian Finance Minister for example. Anyway, here's the Second Chapter. Reviews and flames are welcome! ^^
CHAPTER II: Kita Tak di Jerman Lagi …/We're Not in German Anymore …
The sunshine's so bright. The sky is so blue and clear. The air's fresh enough. So peace, I was thinking. Yes, it's peaceful. But not for long. Suddenly, Clark's voice started me , who shouts beside me.
"HELLO GERMAN! Long time no see, Hey Friends!" Clark shout overjoyed when we walking out for airport. Tegel International Airport in Berlin exactly, since we have to meet Clark's parents.
We will stay one night in Clark's home. Oh, Mrs. Nanci and Simbok also come along with us. Tomorrow, Simbok will go to Munich and stayed in there, as for us, we want to visit one town name Garmisch-Partenkirchen from Munich. For today, we must part a moment. Abdul want to see universities in Berlin, Saidi and Mrs. Nansi will visit his uncle, Clark will spend his time with his family, and Sora will meet his cousins. Simbok and I have a plan to walk around. Lik Fatimah departed behind us. She promised she'll be in Munich tomorrow afternoon. Until that time came, we'll walk and buy some presents. Clark said he and his parents will be our guide. We're very thankful to them.
"Can you low your voice, Clark? You're draw attention….." Saidi said calmly. There's amusement in his face.
"Hey, this is my country! What's wrong with that, Sai?" Clark retorted.
"Definitely not scream until people can hear it radius 30 m."
"Oi!"
"Okay, that's enough, Clark, Saidi. Now why don't we eat something before your parents come to meet us?" Sora cut. "My whole body is twitching…"
"Sora is right. My back from neck until my ass is hurt like hell. We should take a nap." Abdul agreed while he massaging his back.
"Obliviously, I don't expect to sit more than 8 hours at airplane from Jakarta to Berlin…" I stated, cracking my neck. Sitting in airplane for almost half a day not any better than sitting in chair as we doing Final Exam. In fact, it's worse. I can't move my neck for next hour. I hope Simbok bring balsam in this trip.
"What about this restaurant? I heard from my friend they have delicious ice cream." Mrs. Nansi, Saidi's mother offered. She shows us the restaurant.
"Great idea, Mrs. Nansi. What about you, children?" asked Simbok friendly.
"Hm…Ice cream? Why not, right, guys?" I said.
"I'd love ice cream!" Sora exclaimed, her eyes twinkle and she smile bright.
"It must be delicious…" Abdul smile widely.
"I'd loved too, Mom." Saidi nodded once, I can hear smile in his voice.
Mrs. Nansi and Simbok smiled in same time. "Well then, let's go, Children."
We answered her, "Alright, Mrs. Nansi."
I'm lying if I say I'm not very happy. So fun, relaxed…and will be unforgettable for sure.
"Delicious! I never thought ice cream in German will this absolutely delicious." Sora's stated joyful. She's busy to tasting her vanilla ice cream.
"You're childish…" Clark smirked, holding his tiramisu ice cream.
"Shut up, Clark." Sora shoots out her tongue to him. He narrowed his eyes.
"See, you're childish." He then laughed with one hand in stomach.
Her face becomes sour. I can't hold my smile anymore. My smile grew so big until she noticed it.
"Not you too, Sri!"
"No, I'm not, Sora." I tried to defenses.
"Yeah, right…" Sora's sigh in defeated. I chuckled lightly then licking my chocolate ice cream. Simbok eyes twinkled as she eating her sour cherry ice cream, beside Mrs. Nansi that eating her hazel ice cream.
We're eating our ice creams in outdoor restaurant. Despise her action earlier, Sora was right. These ice creams are so delicious. I wish I have the recipe, so I could make it. Hm…., a dream's of a normal girl from tropical islands. Maybe it's not bad to build my own shop of ice cream, in future.
"By the way, are you have called you parents, Clark? I worry they can't find our place." I was changing the subject.
"It's still around airport, they'll find us quickly. After all, we're near parking area. They'll see us before we see them." Clark's explaining.
"Then we must thank you to them in that case. They're so nice with accepting us in their house for a night, is't that right, Saidi?" Mrs. Nansi said.
"Of course, we are Mom." Saidi smiled as he finishing his green tea ice cream.
"Still, I wonder where we should go." Abdul said in the middle eating his mint ice cream. "We still not decided which place we'll choose after we arrived in Munich."
"Hmm…., what about Ingolstandt?" recommended Clark.
"Uh…Isn't that too far from us?"
"Dachau?"
"We'll hiking, remember?"
"Moosburg?"
"No train from Munich to there. Our money for transportations is only enough for train and taxi. And go back to Indonesia."
"…" Clark put his ice cream to the table. He's lowered his head, thinking so hard. I can see his wrinkles on his forehead right now. Word of 'Freising, no.', 'Erding…no.', 'Bogehausen, neh.', and many others difficult names of towns. We're waiting, patiently.
Until he's quiet.
"So?" I'm courage myself, asking him.
"How about Garmisch-Partenkirchen? This town is not really far from Munich. It's near mountain so we can hiking and we can ride train from Munich." Clark said, he's raised his head. "And because it's near mountain, we can see the stars more clear than Munich."
"Hm…Garmisch-Patenkirchen? I like the idea. How are your opinions, guys?" I am looking at them.
"You still ask that, Sri?" Sora's voice has an excited tone.
"I heard those town is interesting." Saidi commented.
"Then our destination is decided." Abdul gleaming at me, winked.
"Let's make our memories as beautiful as the most brightness stars in the sky when summer…" I said, final.
"You just like poetries…." Sora's teasing, and then we're laughing together.
TIN! TIN….! We were looking at the street to reveal a big car, probably Land Cruiser. A man and a woman got out from there. I recognized it quickly as Clark's parents. He's so much alike his mother. She's beautiful with her long braided hair, his father has the most friendly face I've ever meet. From their appearances, maybe they're around forties. They're almost as tall as Clark – now I see where he's got his genetic tall from-, his mother wearing a blue dress, while his father wearing shirt and jeans. Recognized them, Clark stood up and running to them.
"Mom! Dad!" He is throwing himself to them.
"Clark, Dear! How are you? Are you fine?" his mother questioned, hugging him in same time.
"I'm fine. How're both of you?" he pulled back and hugging his father.
"So far, so good, Kid." He is laughing joyful. He's staring at us, welcoming and warm. "And this must be your friends with their mothers!" He then reaches out his hand to Simbok and Mrs. Nansi.
"Welcome to German! And I hope all of you like this country, Ladies and gentlemen." He smiled wide, shook his hand with Simbok and Mrs. Nansi.
"We're very pleasure, Mr. and Mrs. Bonamy. " Mrs. Nansi answered.
"And thank you very much for letting us staying for night. Your have our gratitude's." Simbok continued.
"You're welcome." Mrs. Bonamy was nodding her head, understanding.
"Now, let's go. You have your entire luggage, right kids?" Mr. Bonamy asked.
We said 'Yes, .' in unison. He smiled again, this time amusement. "Then, what are we waiting for? I'll escort you all. Today everyone has their own business, isn't it?"
I and my friends were grinned sheepishly, slightly ashamed.
A minute later, we're inside the car and Mr. Bonamy escorted us to every place they had to go. They said they will finish their business as fast as they can, then follow me and Simbok. Done with escorted, the rest of us then come to Clark's and his parents houses. It's so simple but clean and cute house. Simbok and I quickly loved the model. We ate our lunch and talking to each others. It's become so exciting since Mrs. Bonamy cook Fish With Apples and Onions and Kartoffelknödel1.).
Time past and the sun were ready to set down. We agreed to meet the others. Sora's waiting on the Brandenburg Gate, Abdul was in front of Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler, last, Saidi and Mrs. Nanci in hospital not far from the gate. We want to tried dinner in outside, Mrs. Bonamy came with idea we must come to Bacco. She said the dinner was delicious. We're agreed and enthusiasm. We went to that restaurant. And Mrs. Bonamy was right. Those dinners were delicious and nice. Even I got Simbok muttered 'Alhamdullilah' for few times. I'm happy to see Simbok like this.
Arrived at Clark's house we began to prepared for tomorrow. We share two rooms for sleep, boys and girls. A late night and we ended our discussion, ready to go sleep. We're having enough fun today, so we hope we get more tomorrow. I am thinking with this in my sleep. I smiled excited, closed my eyes.
Not aware what will lay in our path, far there. I'm not aware tomorrow will change, altered our path with one single event. Simple, but it'll smash us without sympathy. The truth, where's fate can be so cruel with humankind, and was playing their destiny. That's what will happen to us.
Soon.
Next morning, we're departed with morning airplane to Munich. Clark's parents escorted us until the airport. After saying goodbye, we're going to Munich. Not different from the first flight. It's my opinion. Well, at least our bodies not twitching and hurts like last time. Arrived in there, we searched a hotel and putted Simbok and Mrs. Nansi's luggage. Simbok and I already called Lik Fatimah to tell her where are we will stay. Next, we decided to take a look around Munich. As I thought, this trip is very awesome and fun.
We visited The Englischer Garten, Maximilianeum, Briennerstrasse, and others place we couldn't called it one by one. Tiring, it is, however we're got a lot of happiness and we've shoot many pictures. We take a break a moment. Simbok and Mrs. Nansi will meet and escort Lik Fatimah. I have insisted to come. Simbok said it's okay I'm not come. I enough say hi to her and Simbok will send my greeting. Besides, she said again, you'll make memories with your friends for the last time before you're take different path of your life. I will be rude if I interfering it. So, go. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine with Mrs. Nansi, she ended.
See? This why I very loved Simbok and I can't leave her like that. Simbok so care with us, especially me. But she understand and I very gratitude to her. We're hugging each other. Saying thank you and you're welcome. Before she go to airport Simbok and Mrs. Nansi escorted us until Munich Hauptbahnhof. Clark bought the tickets and gave it to us. Starnberger Bahnhof (München Hbf Gleis (tracks) 27-36), Garmisch-Partenkirchen, it said on the ticket. We saying goodbye to Simbok and Mrs. Nansi. Simbok and Mrs. Nansi answered us to take care. We then entered the train and put our luggage in bags place and sat.
I heard a notice this train will departed soon.
Minutes later, our train moved, going to our destination, with us were talking and gathering some information of the town.
"Sri? Sri! Wake up! We're here..." I feel my shoulder is shaking gently. I opened my eyes. The first vision I saw was Abdul and Saidi were stood one foot from me. I am rubbing my eyes, still sleepy. My sleep position must be not right.
"Already? That's fast…" I commented, straightened and stretching my arms.
"You're slept for few hours, of course it's fast for you." snapped Clark, with his travel bag on his back.
"Easy there, Clark…At least she's not noisy as you." Saidi said, appeared from exit. He's also has his luggage on his back. "We should quick. Sora's already in outside and it's already late. We must find a place for sleep."
"Okay. I'll take my bag. Please wait." I stood up, searching my travel bag. Except Abdul, all of us have a big travel bags as luggage. Reminding we want to hiking, we agreed we must select the luggage to. Abdul doesn't has travel bag, he choose to get his school bag as luggage, which I really agree because if he brought his cooper – the one was big and have a wheels-, he'll has a difficult walking along with the cooper.
"Here, let me help you." Clark said. He pulled my bag out from the bag place and handed it to me. I accepted it and thank him. He's muttered 'You're welcome' as he turned and began to walking.
Sora waiting in station, examining. "You're slow, guys." She said without turning to us.
"We're very sorry, Your Majesty…" Clark said sarcastically. Sora turned to him. Her eyes were narrowed.
"Sometimes I think you're the one who childish, Clark… Neh, never mind." She said after Clark gave her a dangerous stare.
"Okay guys. Ended this already, we must find a place to sleep." Abdul said amusement in his face.
"He's right. We should search it immediately." I agreed.
"Fine." They answered in same time. I chuckling while Saidi hide his smile.
Not long, we've step out from station. We looking all the buildings around us. It's late already, no peoples on street, it's so queit. 'Of course it's quiet. Different from Jakarta or Yogya.' I think.
Then something slips. I stopped my feet. Stunned.
Hold on.
I examined this place once again.
All buildings in this place…They're looked so old. They're like appeared from the time of WW II. I know this town have many old buildings, the strange is I didn't see any modern buildings, which so wrong because from Clark story, this town technology's already high. And those cars, aren't they Ford in first generation? And they're all black if not dark brown. What's going on in here?
"Hey, is this just me, or this town seems old?" Saidi said. He studied all buildings around us.
"You're too?" I said in shock. "I thought I was the one who noticed it."
"No, you're not," Clark voice became cold…and suspicious. "I noticed it too. This town is too quiet to be a modern and big city. And I don't recognize some buildings…" his voice become whisper in the end.
"We're not in wrong place, aren't we?" I asked with worry.
Clark shook his head, certain. "We're not. I have checked it in map before we go. Twice."
"Maybe there's some reconstruction? For the festival or event to be example?" Abdul tried to logic.
"Guys..." Sora's voice sounded urgent. We turned back to her. Her body tensed and her stare become sharp and hard. She is staring at us, intensive. "Do you hear something?"
We stared each other. "Hear what?"
"BANG….!"
We're started as a loud bang echoed from somewhere. The tension around us was rose. My heart is starting to beat loud and fast. I'm not sure what it is. However, no doubt it's near from our place. And that bang…It's too familiar for us.
I saw Abdul hand tightened, made a form into fist. His fist began to trembling.
"Guys," he began, his voice also trembling, "That's not the sound of the gun, right?"
Sora eyes become dangerous, and in blink of eye, she dash to the source of bang. Leave us in the middle street. When we released, she already far away, entered to the park, where we now just noticed. Suddenly, my brain began to work fast and furious. I quickly run like a mad person, following Sora. Saisi and Abdul yelled from behind to wait, but I'm avoiding it. Not now.
I after Sora, entered the park, running between street lamp and dark woods. Panicked, I still tried to scanning all the area I have passed. There's no sign of her. Sometimes I very astonished. I am the fastest runner at school. But at this situation, Sora can become extremely fast runner! Don't ask me why, I'm still don't get it until now!
"SORA…! SORAAA…! Where are you…!" I shouted. "Answer me!" I keep running, but I still not found her yet.
"SORA…!" I called once again.
"Over here, Sri!" answered Sora. I turned around and spotted Sora's figure. She's kneeling in phone box.
Then I saw it. There are other people inside the phone box. It's a man. He's laying down inside the box. The phone was hanging from their place. He's wearing some weird blue uniform. His hair is black, but I don't know his eyes color. They're closed. He's also wearing glasses and it seems he's tall. I gasped, loudly.
"Masya Allah..." I whispered in shock. He's bleeding. He had been shoot.
"Oh My God, Sora!" I dashed to her place and knelling beside her. I was looking at the man. His eyes were closed and I don't hear his breaths. I turned to Sora.
She's staying calm and her face showing nothing but careful and seriousness. She placed her hand at the man's throat to feel his beats. I am staring at her with hope.
She pulled her hand, turning around, at me. "He's still alive, although he's unconscious now. But his injury…" Sora not finished her word.
My heart like stop beating. If he's not get help immediately…
"SORA! SRI!" Abdul's voice brings me back to reality. I bring my head to looking at my back. He arrived following by Saidi and Clark behind him. His breath was rough, same thing happening to the other two.
'Abdul! Saidi, Clark!" I yelled, waving my hand. He see it and dash toward us.
"Geez! What the hell are you thinking! It's dangerous to run alone in unknown place!" His burst suddenly died as he spotted the man. He let out a silent yelp, unison with Saidi and Clark.
"Masya Allah. What happened to him?" Abdul asked very worried. He eyed the man's wound.
"He's got shoot…" Sora answered sternly.
"Then we must help him." Saidi exclaimed. "We need to take out the bullet before it's too late."
Saidi face looked so cold. "Get my bag. The one with the medicines and surgeon stuffs. " He said.
Our eyes widened at his word. "Saidi," I said, "You're not trying too…"
He is looking at us firmly. He has determined look in his face.
"I'll operation him, now." He took of his jacket and slid a pair of white gloves from his pocket, wear them quickly.
"You're crazy! Operation! You're even not quietly a surgeon!" Clark yelled.
Have I told you Saidi was the child of the famous surgeon in Indonesia? He's always helping his father during operation. He said he want to be a surgeon like his father. He was learning from the field. But he's still learning and that's we're worry about. Take out a bullet isn't easy as one plus one, and we knew how risk they're.
Saidi stared him coldly. Reassuring. "Better then we stayed in quiet. Now do it." he then shook the man gently.
"Sir, Sir. Please wake up a moment." he called. No respond. He tried again. This time more force. "Sir, please wake up. Answer me." The man's eyes opened slowly. He spotted Saidi as Saidi looking at him, concerned.
"I'll take out the bullet. And this will be very hurt. Can you hold it?" he asked expressionless. The man slightly confused, but nodded weakly. "Good. Clark, bring me my surgeon stuffs. Abdul, please fix his position so he'll be more ease. Sora, after this can you knock some peoples doors? I doubt I can save him with all my medicines. Tell them we need some medicines. Don't worry I'll give you the license. Sri you have clean water, aren't you? May I use it?"
I nooded then took out my mineral water. We doing every word he said. After he got his 'doctor' bag, he put out all the stuffs beside him in clean fabric. He is beginning to work.
Saidi doing his work very carefully but fast and right. Seriously, I'm amazed and admired his skills. If he's not here, probably this man will not save.
"Hughes! Hughes…! HEY HUGHES!" A voice from the phone broke the tension. Abdul and I, who nearest with the phone, had jumped.
The voice still we heard until now.
We staring each other once again.
"Okay, who is between us will take the phone?" asked Clark.
Abdul was the first person who moved. He's walk quickly to the phone, where it's still hanging. He's took the phone and brought it to his ear.
"Uh… Hello?" he answered a bit hesitant.
There's a strange silence, then a shouted angry from phone. Enough loud to hear by us, Abdul pulled the phone from his ear.
"Who are you…!" a man voice loud and angry echoes from the phone. Abdul gulped as he trying to find a word. His eyes meet Sora eyes. Seeing this, Sora was acting immediately. "Give me that phone." She asked.
Abdul gave it and outside our mind she yelled angry at the man, so loudly and clear.
"LISTEN TO ME YOU IDIOT, CAUSE I WILL NOT REPEAT IT!" she yelled, "THE MAN WHO CALLED YOU IS SHOOT. WE TRYING TO HELP HIM, BUT WE NEED TO BRING HIM TO HOSPITAL, IMMEDIATELY! GET THE AMBULANCE HERE, BEFORE SOMETHING VERY BAD HAPPEN!"
The rest, include the man staring at her blankly, amazed with the loudness of her voice. Except Saidi which still help him with first help.
Clark is looking at the ICU room. He looks fidget and worry. He even tapping his shoes over and over again, the only sound we heard in 30 minutes lately. The rest, except Saidi, were taking chairs and sat, waiting for the result. Clark's tapping his shoes, before him circling on the corridor. Saidi, stood behind him, took a step and placed his hand on Clark's left shoulder. This made him turned around.
"Sai…" he said.
"He will be fine, don't worry." Saidi's reassured him. Clark lowered his head, his face still sober.
We are waiting in outside, while the man we helped earlier entered the ICU room. At the end, we got ambulance for the man and brought him immediately to nearest hospital. I let a deep sigh and looking at my friends. I can see they're all tired and sleepy. It's really hilarious and embarrassed for us. Imagine, we don't brought enough medicine to help him, so Clark and Sora must ran around and banged some doors to ask some medicines. Less than 15 minutes, the half of the Central awoke because of this. A few of them ended with helped us - helped Saidi - , even when ambulance came. How ashamed we are, when peoples stared at us as we tried to help the man, get him to ambulance! Some of them even asked why we're in the middle of town in midnight. If I remembered this, I always very embarrassed. I mean, oh look how rude we are! Banging people's doors in midnight to asked some medicines, although it's emergency!
Gladly, Abdul prepared for this. He's a bit lied that we're just arrived from another town and we arrived very late because of train problem. As we're argued, we're heard bang and search the source, at last we found the man, already in blood and shoot.
We've discussed, in final statement we'll come to the hospital. We also came to make sure he'll be alright in the end.
"I wonder why he's been shoot?" suddenly, Clark's spoke. Another heavy silence.
I shrugged. Abdul shook, Saidi was mutted and Sora shook her head.
"Who knows? I mean, he's already in those state when we arrived in there. My guess is, he was after by something, maybe members of some gangster or mafia, then trying to call someone. It must be the man in the phone. Before he made it, he must be shoot back there. Think he's already died, the culprit was gone, left him dying in that place, alone. He's extremely lucky we heard that bang and found him right in time. Imagine if we found him few minutes more late…"
A death silence down once again. We're closed our mouth. Too many events happened in one time. I can't handle this situation, honestly. Saidi took a step and step, he began to walking.
"Where are you going, Sai?" I asked.
"Find some blankets. All of you were tired. And I doubt we can leave the man yet. Not until his friends arrived." Saidi answered calmly. "Who's come with me?"
"I come to." Sora stood from her chair and following Saidi, who continue to walking.
I watching them as they're began far from me, until their gone to hospital corridor.
Completely.
10 minutes later, the doctor had gone out from ICU and told us the result. The man will be fine. He'd saved. We, including Saidi and Sora that have come back with blankets, were letting out a long relieved sigh. Our struggles to save him are not in vain. The doctor said we're so lucky to have a child of a surgeon, and he very amazed with Saidi's work. He said he want to work with him next time he got a patient. Saidi only responded it with sincere smile. After the man is moved to the other room, we stayed close to him and eyed on him, worrying someone will trying to kill him again. So, we slept on outside his room. We too tired to argument. Abdul said we better discuss this on morning.
We're all agreeing.
I don't know how long I was sleep. It's almost early morning when Sora woke up us.
"Sri, wake up. He's here…"She said, shook my shoulder gently. I blinking then open my eyes.
"Who, Sora?" I asked sleepy. "The man from the phone last night." She said it clear. "He's came with his subordinate."
I surprised to hear it. He is? Already? Sora understand my stare, she point her head at one spot. I following it and suddenly I gaped. "Wake up Clark and Saidi, please. I'll wake up Abdul." I requested. Sora grinned weakly as she moved to Clark and Saidi's place.
Hurried, I woke up Abdul who slept beside me. "Abdul, wake up! They're here!"
He blinking hard, mumbled something, at last he's straightened his body and also spotted them. His eyes become wide and he glanced at me. I nodded once, and then he's stood from chair take a walk to approaching them. I was walking behind him. I heard Clark and Saidi's voice vague. But right now, I have a more important thing to do.
I glanced at him. He's quite handsome with his black hair and coal dark eyes. He's tall but shorter than Clark. Despise his childish face, he must be in his early thirties. I sensed something doesn't feel right. Sora, Saidi, and Clark were stood around me.
"So, you're the one who saved him?" he question to me, to us. 'Something's wrong…' I think. 'Something's really wrong.' I repeated it in my mind. This man's wearing a strange blue uniform, along with the lady behind him. The man from before is also wearing the same uniform. This people…are they cosplaying or something? At our way from station to hospital, I've noticed everyone wearing old outfit and have old cars on their street. And this man's face…Why he seems familiar?
"We are, Sir." answered Abdul. The man is turning to him. He staring him sharply, seeking truth I guess, but Abdul replied his stare with sincere and truth.
The man captured it well. He nodded and he held his hand. Abdul doing same and they're shake their hands.
"We owe so much from all of you. Thank you very much." He said.
"No problem Sir. It's our duties to help each other." Abdul smiled gently. "By the way if possible, since he's already saved, we want to find a place for rest. We are just come from other town. At first, we wanted to stay at hotel, but it's already late. Can you help us, Sir…"his word cut by the man.
"Roy Mustang. Colonel Roy Mustang. And this is Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye." he said. "Nice to meet you, kids."
I wanted to faint. Sora is gasp while Clark and Saidi eyes are widened. Abdul stunned in his place. This is impossible, right? We only knew one Roy Mustang. And he supposed not real.
Colonel Roy Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist manga and new anime. Is this some kind of freak dream?
"Excuse me, Sir." I said. "Can you repeat it once again?"
He's then staring at me like I was a weirdo or something like that. He raised both of his eyebrows.
"I beg your pardon?" he asked to me.
"Can you repeat it once again, Sir?" I asked once again. "Just want to make sure something."
He looks a little suspicious, but he's repeat it politely. "My name is Roy Mustang, Young Lady," he tilted his head, "Is something bothered you?"
HAH….! Masya Allah! La Ilaha Illallah ya Muhammadar Rasul Allah! I can feel my mouth opened wide.
This is not a freaking dream. This what I called as a nightmare!
Next in 'Cerita Kami/ Our Story'…
"Do you think this has a something to do with…'That'?" Saidi questioned. We're knew what he mean. The Gate and Truth.
Sora's shrugged. "I don't know that far, Sai. There's big possibility for it."
ooooo
"Wait a minute. You're early thirties! Yet, you're still not married?" Sora pretends to be shocked.
Roy grinned to us. A smile everyone categorized as 'Don Juan Smile'. "I am. Surprise?" he said. Sora glanced at me, her eyes filled with naughty and playfully. I narrowed my eyes and smiled widely. This will be fun… He'll get his lesson shortly.
Sora turned again with her innocent face. I see this event in great amusement.
"Yes, I'm surprised, Sir. I thought you're in the middle of twenties," her grin appeared again, this time a bit sadistic. Yet it covered very well within innocent she's showing.
'Here it comes…' I tried not to laugh right now. It'll ruin the fun. And I don't want to miss it.
"I'd never know that you're an 'Old Dude', Colonel Mustang!" she exclaimed enthusiasm in front everyone.
Roy's smile disappeared, changed by big frown. His eye's twitching.
I burst into a laugh. I laughing very loud, followed by Clark, Saidi, and Abdul. Clark's even fall from his chair. Not for long, his subordinates began to laughing hysterically. I saw Mrs. Riza hide her smile. I think she's amusement with that statement. For more than 10 minutes we're laughing together in office.
Oh My. This event was so funny…
ooooo
"You know, I only have one opinion for this," Clark said serious. "We should stay for a while to check."
"Why?" questioned Abdul. He seems not pleasant with the opinion. Not only him, I'm also feeling the same. Mrs. Gracia is so nice toward us. If possible, we didn't want to make her more trouble than this.
Sora closed the door and approaching us. "It's just for safety. Mr. Hughes hurt by someone because he knew something. There's a big chance his family will be in danger. He's saved this time…but next time, he maybe isn't…"
Silence covering the room. Heavy and have made we get a headache. We knew he'll be saved this time, because Saidi has 'deleted' few of Mr. Hughes memories. We knew Father and the homunculus were behind this. We knew, Pride or Selim Bradley now watching us from the shadow in Central. We knew if we did wrong one step, we will be discovered by them. We knew this very much dangerous. Once we took a step…
We'll never be able to come back. Forever.
oooooo
He chuckled lightly as he kept his eyes on me. I'm totally confused. I don't understand his attitude. Is that wrong that I want to be like my name? Is that wrong?
Roy stopped his chuckle and coughed. "You're very naïve, you know that?"
I raised my eyebrow. I tilted my head. "Am I that naïve in your jurisdiction?"
He shook his head. "No. It's enough naïve, but I like it." He then smiled. So softly, sincere,…and warm.
Weird. Reading the manga, I'd never think he can smile like this. I not really knew about him honestly. I am laughing happily. He's frowning and raised one eyebrow.
"Why you're laughing?"
I fixed my eyes on him. I said steady. "Because I think you're far more handsome with that smile on your face! See? You're not good with gloomy face! So smile! It's suit you very well."
He blinking hard several times, then he's doing I wasn't expected; He's laughing, full with relieved and happiness. After his laugh died, he shook his head. "Have I told you that you're the most naïve yet most weird girl I've ever meet?"
I shook my head. "Nope. But, people always told me that." I take up some of his paperwork before categorized it. "As a note Mr. Mustang, I like to be myself, so who cares! You had helped us find a place to stay. Now let me help you categorize this paperwork, as a gratitude. You want to finish quick, aren't you?"
He is watching me, interesting. "You're really the weirdest girl I've meet." I smiled back at him before both of us going to work. This time, he does his paperwork, a smile plastering in his face.
ooooo
"I see," I nodding understand to him. "By the way what is your name?" Sora questioned.
Even we've knew the answer, we still can't believe it. They are our most favorite characters in FMA. It's so awesome!
"My name is Alphonse Elric. This is Winry Rockbell, our friend. And this is…"
"Edward Elric, The Fullmetal Alchemist!" he cutting his little brother, with proud.
