meant to be together

ch.5

Days passed and Taufan slowly got used to living with them,but he still couldn't trust any of them and was still afraid of Halilintar

"Hey Taufan"Gempa said and sat next to him

They were at the lake behind the house while Halilintar was at Boboiboy's grave

"Hey Gempa"

"The weather sure is nice huh?"

"Yeah"

They both became silent and enjoyed the silence when Taufan suddenly asked

"Gempa,why are you here actually?I mean like,why were you unconscious on the lake?"

"Well....I was escaping..."

"Escaping?"

"Yeah...I was locked in a lab and experimented on"Gempa explained

"What- why!?"Taufan asked surprised

"My family sold me to them..."Gempa said as a tear fell from his eyes

"Hey it's okay....you don't have to tell me..."Taufan said as he patted Gempa's back

"It's okay,I think it's better to tell you,beside it's in the past"Gempa said while giving him a small smile

Taufan nodded and waited for him to tell him about his story

"My family are poor,we barely survived from starvation everyday.I guess they never truly loved me....I was just a useless kid that they had to fed.When I turned six,my parents stopped giving me food and I had to survive on my own,but they would always take my food away whenever they see me with food.They said that I didn't need it and that I should earn money for the family.Even though they treated me badly,they were still my parents and I couldn't hate them....so I did as they asked for and started to work.I worked every single day and gave all of my money to my parents.They would always spend the money for themself and let me starve.I know that they probably didn't love me...but I still had hope that one day they will truly love me,to the point where I started to think that it was their way to show their love,but when I look back again....there was not even once where they showed me love....When I turned twelve,they sold me to a group of scienctist.Ever since that day,I was always experimented on,every single day.Their experiments worked and I gained an ability to control the earth.They forced me to fight the other kids that were also experimented on like me.At first I refused,but then they threatened that they would kill me when I don't fight.I didn't want to die,I was afraid,so I fought.Every week I had to fight and kill innocent people....I hated myself for it,but at the same time I still wanted to live....My power grew stronger and stronger and one day I was able to escape,but I was injured badly while escaping and they were right behind me,so I jumped into a waterfall.The next thing I know,I was safe and had place to stay"

Taufan immediately hugged Gempa after feeling his story

"I'm sorry that you had to go through that...."Taufan said and his voice cracked at every word he said

Gempa hugged him back and cried in his arms,letting all the emotion that he had kept up until now

"You didn't deserve that....you were just a child...you deserved better..."

After Gempa calmed down,Taufan decided to open up to him

"Can I tell you something?"Taufan asked

"Ofcourse,what is it?"Gempa replied

"My family also sold me"Taufan tried to say to say it like it was a joke and laughed sarcasticly

"You too....?"Gempa said and he had a pitying facial expression

"Yeah..."Taufan said and looked down

"Wanna talk about it?"Gempa asked and put a hand on Taufan's shoulder

Taufan nodded and started to tell his story

"I was born into a rich family,but I wasn't good enough for them....I was always a dissappointment while my siblings were the golden child.They hated me the moment I was born,because I looked similiar to my aunt,who had ran away to marry a poor boy and died lived a 'pitiful' life.They said that I would probably be the same as her and kept neglecting me....I tried my best to win their love,but it was never enough....to make it worse,my siblings also started to hate me and blamed everything on me.They always made fun of me and hit me.When I told my parents about it,all they said was that I deserved it and that my siblings had every right to do it...I guess they wanted to get rid of me,because they sold me to a man....on my birthday...I became a slave at ten....my only wish was to be loved,but they never fulfilled it....was it to much to ask...?I found out that I was able to control the wind and used it to escape.I ran as fast as I could and when I lost them,I was injured badly,but luckily I found you guys"

Taufan cried as he told the story and Gempa hugged him tightly

"You're free now....and you know what?"

"What....?"

"I can be your family!We will be each others family that we never had!"

"You would do that...?"

"Ofcourse!"Gempa replied and smiled

"Yeah!Let's be a family!"Taufan said happily and hugged him back

They both giggled and smiled,they were both happy to have found someone that they could call 'family'
