UNLUCKY
Ch.2 - Meeting


Cain was confused as to what to react to after hearing Felix's voice for the first time. He tried to calm Felix down but was shocked when he touched Felix's hand which was so cold as ice. He panicked for help and when he shouted finally realized the smoke coming out of the window was on the second floor. After realizing that, Cain picked up a stone and threw it on the second floor.


"Hey, who is that?" 3 The boy put his head out the window looking for the origin of the stone. But when they were about to get angry they were shocked to see Felix had fallen unconscious on the grass.


Cain who wanted to get angry also called the 3 boys to help him.


Doctor Mari, who has just come from the city, rushes to the orphanage to check on Felix.


"Already expected, we should hire someone based on expertise," Ms. Corliss said cynically to Doctor Mari.


"Felix is a strong boy, this trauma will only be temporary for him" Doctor Mari said, holding her arm.


"I guess for sure during the university entrance exam he was just lucky to answer," Daisy in her mocking tone.


"If you're like this I'll quit here! Where you want to find a psychiatrist who is free and always gives donations every month," said Doctor Mari arrogant.


"Have you heard anything, Liss?"


"If we do good there should be no need to be encouraged, Sissy..." Ms. Corliss received Daisy's joke


Corliss and Daisy try to seduce Mari.


Tan, Teo, Tom and Cain wait outside to be greeted by Luna who wants to enter the room but stops when she hears Doctor Mari, Miss Corliss and Daisy fighting.


"Don't go in, brother, there's a civil war going on inside" Tom said, ending with a laugh.


"If the three of them met, even the educated Doctor Mari would forget that she was a doctor" Teo said.


"What were you guys doing there? it is also impossible to smoke. So what was that smoke?" Ask Cain.


"We're cooking instant noodles, and know not what you've done?" Teo with his sharp gaze to Cain.


"What indeed?"


"The rock you threw went straight into the pot, you know"


Teo and Tom hit the back of Cain's head but Cain retaliates even harder.


"You are shameless, because you Felix are so..."


"But that's why Felix can talk too..."


Luna laughed and envied seeing them.


Doctor Mari who can graduate to the best university and become a psychiatrist, Bu Corliss who will become the head of Arbor orphanage later, Daisy who now works as a news broadcaster at the national television station. The three of them were best friends while living in this orphanage.


While living in the orphanage and then getting their respective jobs but still making a friendship makes Luna jealous because friends who are the same age as her after leaving the orphanage all cut off contact and only she herself who often come to the parlor.


Tan, Teo, Tom the triplets who were left behind by his parents for not being able to provide three children at once but still sent gifts every year by his biological parents.


"Surely they will not be lonely when they come out of the orphanage later," Luna said in her heart.


***


Felix, who had woken up, walked to his room with Cain, who was now both roommates.


Cain didn't tell him what he actually saw because he knew Felix had high self-esteem. Saying that would embarrass him.


Felix did not want to speak anymore when asked by Doctor Mari, finally just telling them to go back to the room to rest.


The midnight clock rang and they both walked down the hallway that had already turned off the lights.


"Aren't you scared, Felix?"


Felix just turned to look at Cain and shook his head.


"So, I heard your voice for the first time, but in a panic, I forgot how you sounded..." Cain started the trick.


As Felix took a deep breath, he thought Felix would start talking but no, he ended up upsetting himself and coexisting in a rough breath.


Time up the stairs... Teo, Tom scared the two of them with a white sheet. Cain almost fell in shock but Felix just continued up the stairs casually and passed the twins.


"You are shameless!"


"Say, don't apologize so Felix doesn't know what's going on, '" Tom made the sheet look like a towel.


"We feel guilty but are forbidden to apologize so at least we want to comfort Felix," Teo put a sheet like a scarf around his neck.


Only Teo and Tom are like that, although the triplets but Tan have different personalities from the two of them.


***


The next morning Felix woke up at 5am, hearing the sound of the door opening. Cain got up too.


"Where are you going?" ask Cain.


"I want to run in the morning, you want to come?" answer Felix.


"This morning run away..." Cain choked up as he continued, "You just spoke?"


Felix simply turned his back to Cain and smiled leaving the room. Cain still with his dumb-ass face had not even fully opened his eyes directly jumping down from the bunk bed that was on top.


"Felix!" Cain shouted from the top of the stairs.


"If you want to follow quickly," with a voice echoing from under the stairs.


Cain was very happy to scream but was held back and just jump with no sound.


They both ran around the field and Cain was so engrossed in asking because he wanted to continue hearing Felix's voice so he did not realize he had surrounded the field more than 30x without feeling tired in the slightest.


Felix then meets with Doctor Mari, "How are you?"


"Not bad."


Doctor Mari smiled at Felix's voice, "I didn't know you had such a charming voice."


Felix who lowered his head did not reply and just directly raised his head to look at Doctor Mari.


"If you can figure out why you're talking again?"


"Why did the doctor suddenly speak so politely?"


"Yes too well, after hearing Felix's voice... It was like meeting someone new."


"When I saw the smoke I was terrified so I felt I had to start venturing...at least.... Will I always be like this?"


Doctor Mari feels there is a change in Felix, he just got to know a son who sucks yesterday but now in front of him is now a grown Felix, "The desire to talk is entirely your choice but to overcome the trauma you need help from others. Now you can no longer just want to live on your own without making friends like you used to because you need someone to pull you out of the trauma room, which you actually made the room yourself."


Felix was silent.


Doctor Mari just observed. For a child of Felix's age with such trauma is actually very vulnerable when adults will give birth to bad personality later.


"How can I handle it, doctor?"


"When you're ready to tell me what happened that night..."


No more words came out, Felix then left the room.


***


The place is currently very crowded because there is a birthday event.


"Actually holding a birthday event in an orphanage is not good for the mental of the children in the orphanage," said Doctor Mari Jutek.


"You just shut up!" Daisy nudges.


"How else, this way the children can also get free food and if lucky can get a donation as well" Ms. Corliss spoke with gritted teeth.


The dining hall was filled with children who started singing birthday songs.


The father then handed out envelopes filled with money to the children and the mother began cutting the large birthday cake to share.


"Why don't you go to the hall, Felix?" ask Luna.


"We don't want to."


Felix turned his head and looked towards Luna and saw her smiling making Felix feel strange finally leaving her.


Luna wanted to chase Felix but was stopped when a girl called Felix by the name.


"Hi Felix!" greet the girl.


"You're the birthday?"


"Yya," Dea replied timidly.


"Because now Helianthus doesn't exist so now you're moving here to celebrate a birthday."


"I heard you were traumatized but it turns out you're still as usual..."


"I was wondering, did your parents want you to celebrate your birthday at the orphanage?"


"No, I'll do it..."


"You've got a lot of friends, why not just be with them?"


"I also celebrate birthdays at home with schoolmates."


"You are really..."


"Why?"


"You're asking because you really don't know?"


"Emmm... why?"


"You're a bitch!"


"Infuse?"


"Gadain's birthday party at the orphanage made us orphans look so pathetic know!"


"Pathetic? you mean what?"


"Start again his innocent pretentious question," Felix said inwardly.


***


Felix is back in school, but not in his old school. He moved to the same school as Cain, Tan, Teo and Tom.


The distance from the school is quite far, the five of them have to get up early and walk about 30 minutes to get to the bus stop. The bus ride to school takes 25 minutes. So to not be late they have to get up early to get ready.


The five of them were sweating with the sun still not up because they had to run to the bus stop.


The back seat of the bus was occupied by the five of them.


When they arrive at school they do not go directly to the school but to the department store to buy breakfast. In a hurry they missed breakfast.


"We eat food instead of spending money" Felix said.


"If you eat lunch now, at lunch we will be embarrassed if the rest of the supplies stay a little," Tan patted Felix's shoulder.


"There's bread here anyway buy 1 free 1 kok," Tom in a cheerful tone.


***


Felix enters the teacher's room after being ushered in by Cain.


"He's that kid from Helianthus orphanage right," a teacher whispered.


"He's moving to school here?"


Felix pretended not to hear and headed to the teacher's desk that Cain had pointed out earlier from outside the window of the room.


Cain with his innocent face was excited when he saw Felix enter his class.


"Include me, here's your new friend... Let's introduce yourself" Mr. Egan homeroom 3-7.


"My name is Felix."


The classmate just fell silent, only Cain responded by clapping.


Cain raised his finger, "Sir, Felix can sit next to me."


"Well for the first hour you learn yourself first because Ms. Farrin is on leave."


Only then did the whole class yell happily, Felix who heard him was annoyed.


***


Although Felix's first day at the new school was annoying he still had to walk again at night to get home. The road to the parlors from the bus stop is mostly just forest, away from residential residents. That's why the price of land there is cheap so that a large orphanage can be built.


Cain who realized Felix's mood took the ball out of his bag and started kicking the ball followed by Teo and Tom who came into play. Finally the five of them played ball until in front of the gate of the home.


After cleaning themselves, they finally went to the dining room. Only five of them were there because dinner time had passed.


Felix who was getting sleepy but also hungry because he was still not used to it. While Cain, Tan, Teo and Tom are still fresh while eating their food.


"You look tired, Felix?"


"Has Luna been fired from the hospital?"


"You are asking nicely..."


"It used to be just every weekend coming up, now almost every day."


Luna just smiled wryly, "It's none of your business to know, want a weekend, want every day..."


After they finished eating, Luna gave chocolate milk, "Well, thank you brother," Cain, Tan, Teo, Tom together.


Cain then nudges Felix but he just walks away, "Hahaha. Sorry well, Felix's chocolate milk let me bring it."


"You're sorry to snack, so ashamed to take this chocolate milk," cried Luna.


Felix just walked straight and finally disappeared from the door.


***


The next morning the activity returned to its original state. Felix who was still not used to looking very tired.


Sports lessons, boys play football and girls mostly just shelter under a tree because of the heat.


Although actually Felix felt very sleepy before, now he was excited because he played ball.


After the sports lesson was over, Felix and Cain returned to class after changing their clothes.


Arriving in the classroom there is a girl sitting on the floor surrounded by 5 girls.


Felix and Cain who saw that didn't get into the classroom. Not that they do not want to help but most of the donations come from parents of children who bully it.


The two of them did not speak anything, they just kept quiet and walked towards another place.


When going to the spaciousness there are three twins who call him from the roof of the school. The five of them ended up eating each other's provisions there.


"Well, if there's Luna's sister, the food must be delicious" Teo said with a big mouthful.


"Especially this sausage!" Tom took the sausage from Tan's lunch box.


Tan just kept quiet as if it was a natural thing.


Realizing that Felix and Cain were silent, Tan began to ask, "Is there a problem?"


"You guys got into a fight?" added Tom.


"If they had a fight when they could have walked together earlier," Teo hit him with a spoon, the conscious Tom had been struck staring intently at Teo. Teo who realized that immediately ran to save himself.


"What's wrong?" Tan asked again.
