King Of Crocodiles
Childhood Wounds
Tettt…
The bell has rung. The dreamy tone was surprised to hear the bell. He then got up from his seat. When he was about to stand up, involuntarily his body could not be balanced. As a result Nada almost fell but was lucky Galang helped him. The man pulled the body of Tone so as to make Nada's body jerk as well as they looked like cuddling.
Their eyes looked at each other. Tone felt a tremor in his heart. How not, the current scent of Galang's body pierced into his sense of smell. The man was really looking at her in the shade. Not long after, Nada and Galang regained their senses.
“Sorry, accidentally.” Galang tried not to stare at Nada again.
“I-iya, thank you.”
Then they went from that place to the classroom. The two are awkward with each other. The tone continued to brush off the groggy taste that enveloped him. He didn't want anything to happen to his feelings. Galang was his enemy all along.

In a cafe.
“Honey, I got this photo,” said Tasya who showed a photo on his phone.
“Who did you get that photo from?”
“From Sasha's. He ‘kan my cousin, and who is he?”
“Only last, I ‘kan unfortunately same you.”
Tasya is Galang's lover. They've been in a new relationship for a few weeks. There are no longer many women who have been victimized. Tasya felt jealous because her lover was close to another woman. Tasya put on a wry face. He did not answer the question posed by Galang. He prefers to be quiet.
“Darling, don't you trust me?” Galang grabbed both of Tasya's hands and gave a sweet kiss.
“I'm just afraid you were taken the same him.”
“Ngak will. I'm in love with you.”
Not his name if not good at stringing words. They look very friendly. Both Tasya and Galang praised each other. They don't care if they are in a crowd. While enjoying the food, Galang got a call on his phone.
“Iya, Ma.” There was something strange about her mother.
“…”
“Mama wait there. Galang on the way. Mama don't be afraid. We'll be home soon, Ma.”
Soon Galang left that place. Tasya who saw him spontaneously pulled the hand of his lover. The man clucked softly, he almost forgot his lover. Then sit back. His heart was agitated at the call from his mother.
“Where are you going? Why is it such a hurry?” ask Tasya.
“I have to go home now. I ordered a taxi online yes.”
“But why? I ‘kan still miss you.”
Arguably booked a taxi online on his mobile phone.
“Honey, why didn't you answer?”
“There is more important. I'm first.”
The motor was growling, driving at high speed. Galang did not care about the danger that would happen at any time. He passed the other driver on a crowded road. It didn't take long for him to arrive. The house feels very quiet. Slowly the man got off the bike and walked towards his house.
How surprised Galang was, he found his mother sitting in the corner of the room and sobbing. Meanwhile, the house is in a mess. A few vases of flowers were strewn across the floor. Galang quickened his footsteps towards Farah.
“Ma, Mama is fine ‘kan?” Looked at the anxious eyes of a child to his mother.
“Mama is fine, Darling.”
Unexplained, Galang already knew whose actions this was. He searched all over the house. Finally he found a man standing in the kitchen. Without further ado, Galang threw a hard blow at the man.
Buggle…
The man fell to the floor. His emotions are uncontrollable. Galang is like a tiger that is about to eat its prey right then and there. Knowing that he had been attacked, the man then got up and avenged his pain. As a result, the two men got into a great fight. Hit each other, causing bruises between the two.
“ENOUGH! STOP!” Farah shouted to stop the commotion that occurred in her house with tears that continued to flow.
“How dare you hurt my Mama! Feel this!”
BRACKET…
“STOP!!!” for the umpteenth time Farah shouted.
Finally Galang stopped with a hunting breath. He saw a helpless man on the floor. His face was red and his heart was irregular. He is Luis Adhitama. A man who was predicted was the real father of Galang. But until now Galang did not hurt him as a father.
Not without reason, Luis has hurt his mother. He married another woman and left his wife and child. Besides, Luis came just to hurt Farah. This happens often. Especially when Galang is not home. Luis would torture Farah and destroy everything in front of him.
“Go lo! Top me abisin lo here!” gertak Galang's.
“Bolder boy! How dare you be with me!” luis won't lose.
Galang rounded his eyes, “What did you say?! I'm not your son! Catch that!”
The wound on the corner of Luis' lips made him grimace a little. He also left that house. Galang fell silent and tried to catch his breath. Silence happened for a while. Then Galang turned to his mother who was still crying. He walked and hugged Farah warmly.
“Ma, sorry Galang,” he said slowly.
“Hiks... You shouldn't be like Papa, Nak.” Farah cried in her son's arms.
Galang sighed for a moment, “Mama now rest yes. Let's get this all done later.”
Farah replied with a nod.
She did not want to make her mother sick. He pushed her into the room. Farah's body was slightly injured by Luis's blow. Really, Galang did not accept it all. After that, Galang cleaned up the messy items due to the fight earlier. His heart was sliced when he saw his beloved mother who had been hurt by others. Even if the man is his own father.
His mind was confused, and he decided to go out. That afternoon was passed by Galang by riding his favorite motorcycle. During the trip, the dark memory continued to envelop him. Where little Galang always got bad treatment from his father. Not only himself, but Farah also participated in the impeachment of the husband. As a result of daydreaming, Galang did not pay so much attention to the road. Suddenly, he was shocked when a car was in front of him.
Tiiinn…..
The car horn sounded so loud. Luckily, he can avoid it. He almost hit the car. Then he took off his helmet. He squinted a little to see who was in the car. Now Galang tapped the car glass. Not long after, the figure of a girl he knew very well.
