Tiger Vs Miss Kitty
Stand up

"Brian, I see you're very brave huh?" andrew comments as he walks side by side with Brian.

Brian smiled in response to Andrew. He didn't want to stand out, even though Brian really wanted Andrew to keep praising him.

They both walked in front. While Farhan and Rihana are behind while continuing to fight.

However, Rihana and Farhan's argument does not make Andrew disturbed. He continued to watch Brian through eye glances.

"You live in town?" guess Andrew saw Brian's performance that wasn't the village's.

"Yes, Sir. I'm a city boy" Brian replied briefly as he lit a flashlight as the atmosphere of the forest grew darker and it was difficult to see the path.

Then it was Brian's turn to speak, "Since I came to this village. I'm impressed with my daughter."

"Oh yeah?" Andrew nodded with Brian. He immediately turned his head quickly at Brian and looked at the man's face.

Even in the dark, Andrew could still see Brian's serious face.

"And it seems Siti also has the same feelings that I feel," Brian told a lie. "We've been close in just a few days of getting acquainted."

At a glance under the moonlight look Andrew who curled his lips formed a thin smile. He did not expect his daughter whom he had entrusted a few years ago, had now turned into a mature girl and had begun to know love.

"That's why I'm determined to find Siti, sir. Because I wanted to express my feelings to her" Brian explained.

Andrew widened his smile. But this time Andrew's smile looked like a bitter smile.

"Yes, I'm the same. I want to find Siti right away because I want to explain that I'm her real father."

"Then we have the same goal, sir," Brian said.

Andrew nodded. A few hoses passed, both of them were silent. Their feet continued to climb onto the damp ground while the voices of Farhan and Rihana who were arguing at the back were still faintly heard.

Indicates that Farhan and Rihana are far behind. But Brian doesn't care. All he cares about is getting sympathy from Andrew.

"Brian," call Andrew suddenly. Brian turned to Andrew for a moment. "If you manage to find Siti. Then I'll marry you both immediately."

In that instant, Brian seemed to want to jump excitedly. What he wanted turned out to be so easy to achieve.

However, Brian preferred to remain silent and calm. He had to execute his plan very well and neatly. There should be no more mistakes in his plans this time.

In the middle of the dark forest, Siti sat in front of the campfire that Tiger had worked so hard to make. He stretched his hands to get warm.

Then Tiger emerged from behind the bush. A relieved face emanated from the man as he had just completed his wish.

Tiger sat next to Siti. He picked up one fruit that looked strange to him.

Small and green. Tiger watched the fruit very carefully because it was the first time Tiger saw a fruit like the one in his hand.

Siti who saw Tiger's attitude also explained, "That's inconsequential. Just eat. It won't be poisonous."

Tiger also ate the fruit called ciplukan without a second thought. He was very hungry and not a single meal entered his stomach except for the splash brought by Siti.

"Huek, how strange it feels," Tiger scrunched his face withholding a feeling of contrivance that seemed strange to his tongue.

But Siti did not take Tiger's complaint seriously. He just stared blankly at the blazing flames while hugging his knees.

Slowly Siti turned to Tiger who was now both pondering. Dahi Siti shriveled in confusion because she rarely saw Tiger say an apology.

"Sorry for what?"

"If I hadn't told you that you were a pick-up boy, maybe we wouldn't have gotten lost and spent the night in the forest like this" Tiger said regretfully.

Tiger is now aware of his attitude that has been excessive on Siti and resulted in the two of them having to spend the night in the forest with a makeshift condition.

Seeing Tiger's sincerity in admitting his mistake, Siti also softened her heart. He sighed and looked back blankly at the fireplace.

"It's also my fault" Siti said in a lethargic voice. "I am the one who carries too much emotion. Until we fall into the abyss and we get lost."

They both remained silent for a while. Until Siti took a deep breath and looked up to see the star-filled night sky.

"Sometimes, I feel that I'm a pickling child," said Siti who slowly bead her eyes glazed over.

Tiger looked at Siti and for some reason there was a feeling of pity on the woman. "How can you think that?"

"Every time I look at my reflection in the mirror, I see my face does not look the same as my parents," Siti blinked her eyes as she looked up so that no tears came out.

I don't want anyone else to see me cry. However, the sad face could not be hidden by Siti. Tiger could still see the sadness on Siti's face.

"Positive thinking, Sit. Who knows, when your mother was pregnant, she hated someone. So you look like someone who is hated by your mother" Tiger explained with the intention of comforting Siti.

Although Tiger himself does not believe in myths as he mentioned, but Tiger's speech is able to make Siti review a thin smile.

"Yes yes," said Siti who then forced herself to laugh.

Before long, Siti and Tiger both fell silent. Then Tiger tried to find another topic of conversation to ward off awkwardness.

"If I may know, why did you create content under the pseudonym 'Miss Kitty'? Is it because you like cats?"

Siti was silent for a moment. Then he took out the necklace hidden under his clothes.

The necklace had a hanger with rows of letters that formed the word, 'Kitty'.

"In addition to because I like cats, because I have this necklace. My father said, this necklace is very valuable and can't be lost."

Tiger nodded. He saw the face of Siti who already looked tired so he told Siti to sleep first.

They agreed to sleep in turn. Siti will sleep first while Tiger will be on guard.

Siti agreed with Tiger's proposal. He got inside his savory however, just a few minutes lying down, he shouted while coming out immediately.

Seeing Siti screaming hysterically, Tiger also stood up to Siti who was shaking hands on some parts of her body.

"Why, Sit?"

"There are ants" said Siti while complaining of pain because it is not strong with ant bites on the back.

Then Siti opened the back of the shirt and turned her half-naked back towards Tiger. The pain made Siti unconscious of the actions she was taking.

Even Siti asked Tiger to help her to repel the ants on her back.

While Tiger rounded his eyes when covered with a view of the white smooth back of a Siti.

Tiger swallowed his saliva with great difficulty. Different from something that is down there that easily stands upright.
