Now Aruna was standing among the other artists, the girl's smile had not faded since. How proud he was to be able to do all this, especially with all the praise he received.
It was seen that some visitors came to Aruna and asked about the painting. Aruna happily explained it.
While Bumantara, the man was still faithfully waiting while watching the girl.
"Shj"
A small ringisan sounded from Bumantara, the man felt his stomach that was sore because it had not been filled anything. Bumantara would rather endure his hunger than leave Aruna.
Amidst the happiness that Aruna felt, the girl felt a tightness that started to creep up on her chest. As much as possible Aruna held him.
While continuing to catch her breath, Aruna bit her lip as the attack of pain came. Can't take it anymore, Aruna said to go to the toilet.
While walking quickly, the girl instantly covered her mouth as soon as she felt that she was going to cough.
Sure enough what he was thinking, blood came back out of his mouth. Aruna washed her mouth with running water.
Doctors warned him to rest a lot and not to be too tired. But Aruna did not care about it, but her death was already planned in the comics, the girl thought.
"Lo strong, you can't ruin your own dreams. Fight all this pain Aruna!" With her voice beginning to weigh heavily, the girl spoke to herself.
Aruna walked back to the exhibition, her face was washed so that it was not so pale.
...***...
The event finished with the time leading up to the afternoon, some visitors were seen already leaving the place. Now the remaining artists and also the organizers are gathering to talk about their paintings.
Some of their paintings were purchased and will be displayed in museums. Aruna was happy not to play listening to the three paintings selected, the girl was unconsciously hugging Bumantara so happy.
Aruna who did not understand, only kept silent when the committee discussed the price issue. Honestly, he did not know how much to set because this was his first experience.
Seeing Aruna's bewildered face, Bumantara took over the conversation and began to negotiate.
Aruna just kept watching the men talking, used to earn money by way of motor racing, today he got money in another way.
Long enough talk, until the boredom of Aruna changed with a satisfied face because the painting was purchased at a hefty price.
"As a sign of gratitude, I treat you as much as possible." Said Aruna while holding Bumantara's arm.
"Geez Bum! I forgot something. You haven't eaten since morning? Where it's afternoon now, you must be a laper! Let's go get some food!"
Bumantara just quietly followed Aruna who is very active today.
...***...
"Run, eat it slowly! No one's going to take your food!" Bumantara gave a warning to Aruna who was currently eating which was currently eating in a hurry.
Aruna just smiled at Bumantara's nagging, for some reason lately he quickly felt hungry.
With the condition of the restaurant is quite crowded, Aruna and Bumantara again became the center of attention. Again and again Aruna had to swallow all the hurtful words that were impaling her.
"Bum, can I ask you something?" Aruna asked as soon as they finished eating.
"What?"
"Gue really wants to go to a place that has many trees, please take me to that place!" Pinta Aruna with sparkling eyes.
"Who I don't want to be, I've been thinking about the place. Yuk!" Bumantara immediately clasped the girl's hand making Aruna smile widely.
"Specifically for today I will obey all the requests of Miss Aruna." Bumantara weighed down his voice then opened the car door and lowered his body like a servant.
While Aruna can only laugh at the behavior of his best friend.
Arriving at a park, Aruna immediately got out of the car and ran while stretching her hands.
Seeing dozens of sparrows gathering, Aruna fad ran which immediately made the birds fly.
Aruna activity was not spared from the view of Bumantara, the man quickly pulled out his phone and took pictures of Aruna for the umpteenth time.
Aruna's laughing voice sounded bbso loud m, the girl looked very happy and forgot for a moment the disease that attacked her body.
So busy venting his excitement, Aruna to not pay attention around. The girl fell because she tripped on a nearby rock, making her fake legs instantly detach
Bumantara who saw of course worried, the man immediately approached and checked the condition of Aruna.
Bumantara sighed in annoyance seeing Aruna's palm scratched and spit out a little blood. "Gue tau lo happy, but be careful also Run, until kayak gini. Holy jeez!"
"Gue it's okay Bum, it's just a little wound, I often get more pain!"
Seeing Aruna's calm face made Bumantara even more upset, "It can not be a day just horrified others! We're worried about Aruna!"
"Gue is not a weak girl Bumantara! These wounds are not comparable to the blows they used to give me! So you don't have to be lebay!" Aruna replied to Bumantara's words with a high enough tone.
"You mean? Who hit you?" Bumantara captures the strangeness of Aruna's words. "Jawab Run!"
Oh shit, I forgot!
Instead of answering Bumantara's question, Aruna instead kept quiet while trying to reattach her fake legs.
Bumantara took over the prosthetic leg and squatted in front of Aruna. "Good!" The man patted his back.
"Gue–"
"No need to argue with Aruna! I'm a carry, get on!"
Aruna resigned, the girl crept holding Bumantara's shoulder and rested her body on Bumantara's back.
Slowly Bumantara stood with his left hand tightly grasping behind Aruna's knee, and his right hand holding the girl's prosthetic leg.
"Bum, the real cradle, I almost fell!" Said Aruna who felt her body slump.
"Lo don't see my hands! where are your legs going to put them?" Bumantara replied with a tone that still sounded annoyed.
"Kok you answered that sewot anyway! If not, then come down to me!" Aruna rebelled and slapped Bumantara on the shoulder.
"DIEM!" Bumantara stopped his steps and raised his voice making Aruna instantly silent.
"Here you hold!"
Aruna obeyed Bumantara's orders and held his false feet using both hands.
While walking, they continued to argue because Aruna pressed Bumantara's neck until the man felt like strangulation.
