Foreigner 2

It was the first time for Arghi since he could no longer see to set foot on the wet grass, treading the grass that tickled Arghi's rough bare feet. Arghi was silent for a while, digging into many memories inside his head regarding the courtyard where Arghi was now. Remember how the shapes and sets of colors became one mixed to make Arghi never get tired of coming continuously here.

Starting this afternoon when the warm sunlight still feels watering the skin. Arghi further stepped away from the porch of the house and slowly did not want something careless to happen to him this time again. Arghi himself did not dare to go out more than in the yard, although he was some time ago even about to escape from this house where he grew up now.

Galant told him to go inside the house because he might not be able to focus on keeping Arghi in case Arghi was wrong in stepping in when he was studying. However, Arghi did not approve of it because although he could not see it, Arghi was not a child who needed excessive supervision by Galant. Arghi himself did not want Galant to be burdened with his condition to hinder him in the learning process.

Arghi carefully walks to the shallow side of the pond containing Koi fish, a little sad that he will never be able to again see its beauty swimming in the clear water.

"Hello," Arghi whispered as he crouched down, although he wasn't sure if any of the fish were swimming in front of him.

He reached out, letting the surface of the skin of his hand wet wash away every pore there. Arghi blinked to feel the scales on his palm caressing suddenly. He smiled faintly in the presence of one of the fish swimming to the surface.

Arghi felt a sharp look piercing behind his back, he pulled his hand from the surface of the water and immediately stood up.

Arghi turned around and was sure that there was someone in front of him standing still looking at him. A breath from the front instantly also made Arghi's feet slowly step to the left side. Unaware of the arrival of a stranger in front of him.

"Galant?" called Arghi hoping it was indeed Galant and he forced a half-smile forward.

Restless came to the surface of him until he became tense when there was no response from anyone who now began to step closer to Arghi. Galant wasn't supposed to play around like this now to scare Galant.

Arghi's heart was beating hard afraid that the person in front of him heard it. Arghi's worries increased when he would do something to hurt himself again like the robber.

"Galant? Don't play around." Arghi called once again this time more like a whisper. However, compared to Galant who was standing in front of Arghi right now, he realized that this person must not be Galant.

"Arghi." Arghi stiffened instantly, he froze as if his legs nailed firmly in the grass couldn't escape this man's nose, the dark memories he had tried to bury in so many years flashed back onto the surface of his memories.

The sound this time sounded to have turned into a heavier that Arghi knew well hidden in his mind now heard through his listener's senses back. Arghi's hands shook all over his body, his eyeballs moving around looking for something even though there was nothing he could see, it instead added to his deepening despair. He now truly regrets not obeying Galant's previous words to stay inside the house and now Arghi hopes that Galant comes this time as well which can attract Arghi in his predicament this time.

"Arghi, it's me." Again the sound re-resonated in Arghi's ears making his stomach seem to rotate causing Arghi's head that suddenly throbbed with pain.

Arghi closes his lips holding the sound out of the cleft of his lips. Ignoring how his fingers vibrated furiously, he felt his breathing as if forcefully drawn to become tight in his chest cavity.

"Arghi?" Once again the sound caused Arghi to gasse in fear. He grabbed both of his ears and closed tightly, closing his eyes tightly. Don't want to hear anything more. He knew all the bad things had passed from years ago, but still, his memory would never forget those dark times. He never knew that this person could do things like he used to again making Arghi feel a strong desire to end his death.

Footsteps approached, and Arghi reflexively retreated from his position and sat limply with irregular breaths. One hand tightly closed his mouth holding nausea rolling in his stomach.

Arghi gasped as his shoulders were tightly held, making him brush off the rough instantly. It further evokes the terrible memories that Arghi thought he had forgotten. Something heavy as if pressing on his chest tightly made It difficult for Arghi to breathe.

"Go. Get out of here. Get out of the way." Arghi didn't realize his voice had shaken. He increasingly felt helpless.

"It's me, Arghi. Don't be afraid, I haven't seen you back in a long time." said the man who seemed as without burden as he had destroyed Arghi's life before, Arghi moved backward dragging his hard-earned body. When he is pursued by the memory of his past that strangles him at any moment.

"Who are you? Why is it in my house?" Galant's voice was like a light in the darkness that illuminated Arghi, he even breathed the air greedily that he had unknowingly endured.

"Who are you?" asked Galant back with his suppressed voice and he had stood by Arghi's side who immediately gripped Galant's arm in no time Arghi realized something in his fear now. Galant's sturdier arm inside his grasp felt strange that Arghi even though this wasn't Galant, just didn't quite realize that Galant had grown in such a fast time.

"Arghi, have you still not forgiven me?"
