"Can I catch up after school?" Sawarga lowered her voice, I know for sure she doesn't want mother to hear her.
"Too bad, no. You're going to miss out on the fun"
Sawarga was silent for a while then said "Okay, see you later," and ended the call.
I didn't know who this guy was, I didn't even know what they're going to do till make Sawarga have to skipped school, what's certain was that I didn't like him. So the next day I secretly followed Sawarga when she went to school. Luckily, she was actually going to school, not to the place she promised with the guy on the phone last night.
During my way back from school, I saw a lot of juvenile delinquents who were skipping class and having free sex in narrow alleys, some were men and women, women and women, or men and men. There are those who only smoke and then throw their cigarette butts carelessly. Didn't they know that nature can be angry because of an act like this? Suddenly the wind blew and slapped the leftover food trash onto the face of the person who threw away the cigarette butt, sauce and rice stuck to his face. Eat that!
I felt relieved that Sawarga didn't fall into something like this so I returned home where mother greeted me and gave me a snack.
While eating I said, "I will protect your child at all costs," but the only sound that came out of my mouth was, "meow.. meow..".
Mother rubbed my head and smiled as if she understood what I was saying.
In the evening I was with Sawarga at home, mother was going shopping. There was a knock on the door that I thought mom had come home, but instead stood a strange man with messy clothes.
"What are you doing here?," Sawarga asked panickly.
"Picking you up. Come on, you're already too late"
