I KNOW WHO I AM

Chapter 17 (Old Friend)

Finally my class is over. I pack my stuff and walk to the exit door.

"Wait Yan, why are you in such a hurry? Where do you want to go?" Lara asked me.

"Harris will wait for me in front of the faculty. Our lecturer ended the class late, he is already there waiting for me" I answered.

"Uuiiii Yan, you got boyfriend now huh? Don't worry Lara, I will give you my full attention so that you wouldn't feel lonely when Yanna is not here" Said Sammy and playfully pat Lara's shoulder.

"Nope, get away from me" Lara replied. Then Sammy pouting and pretend to be sulking at Lara.

"Nobody gonna comfort you. Now come and have lunch with me" Said Lara to Sammy.

"Awww, did you ask me to lunch? Never knew that you are sweet. Even though you got a sweet smell like lavender" Said Sammy.

"That's what we call perfume Mr.Pervert!! Now let's go and let Yan go to meet her hubby" Said Lara then she drag Sammy from there.

I wave my hand to Sammy and continue my walk to in front of the faculty. While I was walking, I bumped into someone. I look up and see that it was Syahmi. I was shocked, never thought that I would meet him here.

"Hey Syahmi, it's been a while since I saw you" I greeted cheerfully. I was so happy that I finally meet him.

He look at me and walk passed by me without uttering any words. How can we become like this? Before this, we were best friend in elementary and secondary school. Wherever I go, he must be with me. Before this I always protect him, I remembered the first time I help him while he was getting bullied by the others.

Elementary School

"Hey skinny boy! Do you even have energy to walk?" Said the big boy.

I could hear someone crying and groaning at the corner of the road. I walk slowly and saw that there is three kids circling one small boy. That boy is really small, maybe that's why he became the target of the bigger kids. I always saw him walking and eating alone at the school. Does he not have any friends?

I walk towards them slowly so that they will not noticed me. I was raised in a family that teaches martial arts to people. My grandfather always told me that today's world is not as safe as before. We could encounter a lot of bad guys even when we do a short walk.

"Hey! What are you guys doing? Release that boy" I said to them.

"Well, well look who act like a brave person" The big kid approached me and stand in front of me.

"Go mind your own business before I hurt you" He warned me.

I just stand there and look at the pity kid ignoring what the big boy said.

"Oi! I'm talking to you" He said then tried to touch my shoulder. I grab his hand and twist it. Then I kick his leg and make him fall.

The big boy struggle to escape from my grab. I know him, he is a trouble maker at school. Always create problem wherever he goes. His friend tried to help him but I increased the strength of my hand and make the boy groaning in pain.

"Leave this place before I hurt you. My grandfather is a martial art master, don't mess with me or my grandpa will beat you up" I threaten them.

The horrific expression on their face shows that they are afraid to mess with me. I released the boy that I hold and warn him not to mess with the skinny boy again.

I approached the boy and open my bag to find my handkerchief.

"Here, don't cry. They are gone."
