The god had just awoken from his sleep. Although not fully aware. Time shows at 12:00. His head felt heavy, of course because all night he did not sleep, plus he kept thinking about Mala.
His hand touched the phone on the nightstand with his eyes half closed. He took out the phone and checked it. His eyes were round when he saw the incoming messages from Mala in a row. He was glued while sitting. Then slowly his eyes closed again and he put the phone again.
"Mala, sorry Brother. But it seems like it's better that Brother doesn't reply to your message."
Mala Darling: Brother Dewa, Father and Mother said I should come to Korea. I don't want to!
Mala Darling: Sister why hasn't It On Too! Mother said all of this with the approval of my sister, I do not want Sister!
Mala Darling: I want to be in Bandung with Brother! The point!
Mala Darling: If you do not reply to my chat, I am angry, I will go to Korea really!
The god exhaled rough, wanting to feel like he slammed the phone right now. The world of the cheerful Gods colored by Mala's behavior will now change without Mala's presence again later. A chaotic feeling raged within him, wanting to hug his Mala now, wanting to joke around even kissing her. But, after that it will definitely be even more heavy for Mala and the Gods to live out the days ahead.
He thought it better to get used to it from now on. Act as if Mala is no longer by her side. Even if he knew the risks, the little girl would definitely hate him.
"Mala, your dear sister. But, big brother also wants you to have a bright future. True said Daddy, if you are a big brother, you can not prevent you from reaching for your future." The god rubbed his face while continuously gnashing his teeth. "Aarrrggghhhh!!!"
Mala's room is still locked away. He doesn't even want to go out for lunch. Mother and Father were sad and anxious, because Mala would not respond at all. Mala saw the chat she just sent to God.
"Udah read, but why Kak Dewa offline. I was last seen an hour ago. The number's dead now. Doesn't she want to talk to me again? He dumped me? She doesn't want to talk to me anymore?" mala said while shedding tears. He saw the wallpaper on his phone, a picture of a God kissing his cheek.
"Mala does not want to be far from Brother, but sister instead gini, cuekin Mala." His heart was broken and unexpected. Is this what it's like to be in a guy she loves? Honestly, only this time he felt his heart broken, this is what is called heartbreak? Is it the God who broke Mala's heart?
The god came down to fulfill Nayra's call just now. Although he actually does not have the appetite to eat now. At that moment the God was shocked, because Mala's mother suddenly waited for him in the living room.
"Tante, what's wrong?" ask the gods to Mala.
"God. I haven't been out of my room since this morning. He also did not respond to anything. Aunt and Om are very worried, God. Maybe if you're the one persuading him, he'll respond."
At that time the Gods were really worried. He had expected it, surely Mala would not take it for granted. Accept all these decisions, accept all circumstances now.
"But Auntie, if God persuades Mala. It will be harder in the future. You cannot be far from God. Therefore, since then God turned off the phone and others so that Mala can not contact the Gods," he told Mala's mother.
"God. Pantesan Mala did not want a response. He must be sad, not God. Poor Mala, if Mala does not want to go to Korea. Aunt is okay."
God shakes. "Mala will get used to it. Just let God write a letter to Mala."
"Letter?"
"Yes, so that Mala will understand. That's all God can do now, Auntie."
Mala's mother could do nothing but follow what God said. His daughter was indeed like it was dependent on the figure of God more than anyone.
...Mala Darling......
...Brother Dewa apologized, for not replying to your chat yes. But, Brother God knows you are sad, disappointed, angry, upset. You can vent it to Brother by hating even brother. But, Mala should know, if brother dear Mala, because that brother does not want to hinder the future of Mala....
...In Korea, Mala can get a good education, Mala can major in music or art after Mala's favorite. And most importantly there Mala close to Father and Mother. Mala must recite what Mother's Father said, because Mala is still entirely theirs, not Brother's....
...But, brother promised during Mala there, Sister will always wait for Mala to come home faithfully, will not look for another, forever only Mala. Unless Mala left the sister, but even then the sister prefers to be alone....
...Dear Mala, don't torture yourself. Mala had to promise the same Lord, Mala can not go on hunger strike, especially if you ignore father and mother. Brother Dewa does not like Mala who is so, Mala his brother is beautiful, carefree, loving. Mala is the best. Don't be sad. Brother is not ignoring Mala, only we should keep our distance from now on. For your good, too. Remember, Mala's feelings are the same as Big Brother's. If Mala is tormented, you will feel twice as much, even more. For that, Mala do not be sad...
...Sister always love Mala....
...***...
Mala read the letter as her mother slipped the paper under the door of her room. His tears broke even as he repeatedly shouted, roaring like a child. So what is this? The gods want to stay away from him? Impossible! Mala couldn't accept it.
"Mala does not want to be far apart, in the same cuekin brother. Mala hates the Lord!"
God, is the reason Mala smiled.
But now? Mala had no other reason.
...***...
"Woy little sok kecakepan!"
"What the hell are you. Is Mala wrong with you, Dira?"
Dira is one of Mala's most feared friends in Junior High. Mala often gets bullyan by her classmates. One of the most frequently bullied is Dira Antika.
"When you come with me!"
"No! Mala doesn't want to come with Dira!"
"There is no rejection!"
Dira forcibly pulls Mala's hand and takes her to the back of the school. Then Dira pushed Mala until Mala fell and her knee bled.
"Dira! Mala won't be sorry Dira. This time it's outrageous! What's wrong with Mala and Dira anyway?"
Dira laughed along with two friends who came following.
"Do you want to know what's wrong with you?"
Dira gripped quite firmly both cheeks Mala. "You know hah!"
"Please!!!" Mala pushed Dira.
"How dare you be with me, Mala!"
"First thought that hurt Mala's cheeks! Look at Dira tajem's fingernails!"
Mala's cheeks until blisters and bleeding due to the grip of Dira's nails. He stood up even though his knee hurt from the impact earlier.
"When you're always pretty! Now you want to be a brave ass too huh!"
"Mala is not a cowardly child! Dira misunderstood Mala! Mala won't shut up if Mala gets bullied! Sister Jesslyn always cringes when bullied and finally Sister Jesslyn is hurt! Dira knows! Now Mala's sorryin Dira, but don't bother Mala again!!"
Mala leaves Dira who looks upset. She was crying alone in the toilet with her knee injured. He didn't want to go to the UKS because he was embarrassed that anyone saw him cry. Though Mala was crying not because of Dira, but because she remembered Sister Jesslyn who was also a victim of bullying.
After school Mala walked limp made the God who was throwing garbage in front of the house suddenly throw a package in his hand. "Gosh, why are your feet?"
"Sister God?" Mala immediately glazed. He melted instantly while hugging the God. "Sister God..."
"Why are you? Who hurt you, huh?"
"Sister of God can carry Mala to the house? Even way from school because it does not want to be picked up by Mr. Udin."
"Oh my God, Mala why the hell? Oh my goodness Mala... Why your cheeks? this who's your claw?"
Mala fell silent.
"Yes your big brother."
The god actually carried Mala and then treated Mala's injured knee.
Those memories appear with Mala's sadness now. "The God-brother Mala knew couldn't possibly have left Mala?"
