Love Under the Clock
24. The Helper

''Hey you guys stop.'' the hardened man who got out of the car. He looks young. His extremely classy appearance in a navy-colored suit made his aura of slapability radiate. All eyes were on him. No exception Hayati.

''There's a bad luck hero'' teased one of the men. The others laughed. The man did not respond. He looked towards Hayati who looked exhausted.

''You do not interfere in our affairs. If you don't want to be wretched, you better leave here'' he continued haughtily and looked down.

The man walked closer to Hayati.

''Why can't I interfere. You five people and bothering a kid like this. Is it not shameful?'' tanyanya cynic. I was surprised to say little boy. Protesting but lazy. Because in fact people always misunderstand with age. He chose to see what would happen next.

''You want an important child we like. And he can serve us answered one of the long-haired men.

''But does he like why you forced it?'' ask the man to relax.

''Hmm, you don't bacot much. We better beat him up so that everything is finished quickly said sigondrong earlier. They prepare to attack.

''You step aside first'' the man said to Hayati. He prepared to fight off the five drunk men. Hayati move to the direction of the motorbike and push the motor away from where they want to fight.

''If you get to this motorbike. Can be angry uda Hamka with me, Hayati muttered while pushing his motorbike.

Unbalanced behavior happens. Although not balanced but in a short time the man can beat the five drunk men. They decided to run away after being battered by the man.

A middle-aged man came out of the car carrying a bottle of mineral drink and gave it to the man in the suit with an anxious face. Turns out he's the driver.

''Diminum used to den'' he said.

''Please Mr. Eko'' said the man.

''You scared me. If there is anything to do with you can be scolded by me the same madam Mr. Eko.

''Hehe, it's good to sweat. It has not been this way for a long time, he replied. He walked over to Hayati who was sitting near his motorbike.

''You okay deck?'' ask the man.

''It's okay, thanks'' Hayati replied smiling kindly.

''Why are you here gini nights? Are your parents not worried?'' tanyakanya.

''Hmm, I want to go home. But my motorcycle tyre deflated'' Hayati replied.

''Ooo, next time if you want to go out do not be alone.Danger especially if the night a lot of thugs roam. Don't you go home from school not directly to home but run away first. You don't feel sorry for your parents. They must be worried waiting at home, said the man.

''He helped me. But why impressed to lecture me.'' Inner Hayati.

Seeing Hayati not responding to her words the man called her.

''Hey did you hear my words?'' call him

''E-eh. Listen om'' answered Hayati quickly.

''Don't call me om dong aging know. I was only twenty-five years old'' protested.

''Hmm, don't call me om dong'' he's back in protest.

''I need to call what. It's not funny if I just call you names. Especially if you think I am still in school. It is impolite for schoolchildren to call names to older people. It could have been a waste of teaching that my parents had given me all along. And I think the call om is suitable for you''' Ciloteh Hayati at length quickly.

Hayati was silent for a moment. Tangent want to answer what. Because he doesn't go to school anymore.
