Chapter 2: Chapter 2 : Punishment
Evening in a simple house. There are dozens of motorbikes lined up as well as dozens of youths who are seen chatting.
"Where are you? It's been a long time." Devano looked to the right and left.
"At least on the road." Calvin said, taking a sip of his cigarette.
"Everything is ready, right?" Austin asked to make sure.
"Already." Devano replied, nodding.
After a while, they heard the sound of a motorbike coming towards them. Seen Kai taking off his helmet and getting off his motorbike.
"Are you all ready?" Kai asked curtly.
"OK. Everything is under control anyway." Devano replied.
"We're leaving." Kai exclaimed.
All the Tiger members rode their respective motorbikes. Don't forget to wear a helmet.
All the Tiger members' motorbikes walked hand in hand towards a fairly quiet street, for them to have a race.
*****
Seen a cute man stopping his car at a red light. Then on the right and front, several motorbikes stop. They wear full face helmets and black jackets.
Wait. It seemed like Kenzo recognized the jacket. Kenzo remembers where he saw that jacket.
"Ahh!" Kenzo seemed to remember something. "That's a Tiger boy jacket. Where are they going at this time of night?"
All the motorbikes were speeding and turning left at the fork in front. Kenzo follows where they go. He really wants to know what Kai and his friends want to do on a night like this.
Kenzo furrowed his brow, when he saw Kai and his friends stopped on a fairly deserted street.
Kenzo stopped his car far enough from Kai and his crew stopped. Then Saint came down and hid behind a tree not far from Perth and the others.
"What are they doing?" Kenzo's monolog.
Not long after, dozens of motorbikes came over to Kai and his friends. And Kenzo was even more surprised when he saw Kai and the person who had just got off his motorbike staring fiercely.
*****
"Kai Lamya Laszlo." Exclaimed a man approaching Kai who was standing leaning on his motorbike.
"Tch." Kai squeaked, looking annoyed at someone who had just arrived.
"You're ready_" said the person pausing his speech. "_lost." He whispered in Kai's ear.
Kai straightened up, staring intently at the person in front of him.
"Don't talk too much." Kai said as he got on his motorbike and put on his helmet.
The man got on his motorbike too and they both got ready. Then I heard the roar of two motorbikes shouting at each other.
Brumm..
Brumm..
Brumm..
Brumm..
Galen came forward with a black cloth.
"Ready?" Galen asked, looking at the man's brother.
Kai and that person nodded.
"Tree, two, one go..!" Galen exclaimed, throwing the cloth.
Kai and the man who was using his green motorbike drove fast. The man was in the lead position, while Kai was behind him.
Kai continued to drive his motorbike behind the man. Until it reaches the point that has been guarded by several Tiger children, Kai glanced to the right and saw one of the Tiger members nod his head. Kai also understood and immediately increased his speed again. Kai keeps sticking behind the guy.
And when the finish line was in sight, Kai added his speed again. And....
Wiu.. wiu.. wiu.. wiu.. wiu..
"Shit..!" Some people cursed.
Everyone disbanded. Except for Kai and all the members.
"What's wrong Kai?" Austin bertanya pada Kai.
"Seems weird." Kai said.
He felt strange because he didn't see the headlights of a police car or hear the engine of a car approaching.
*****
Kenzo was still hiding behind the tree. After he saw the people scattering away, Kenzo sneakily wanted to get back to his car.
But to Kenzo's surprise when he turned around, there was already someone standing in front of him.
"Hey! It's just surprising." Kenzo exclaimed, rubbing his chest.
"Who are you?" asked the person .
"I? I'm nobody." Kenzo said nonchalantly.
"Tsk." The person chuckled, then turned around.
"Dev, take care of him." Someone said,
"Ok Kai." Devano replied.
That someone turned out to be Kai. Earlier, after he felt something was wrong, Kai tried to find out what made him feel weird. And bingo! Kai found a young man hiding behind a tree holding a cell phone that was still on.
"What's your name?" Dean asked.
"I?" Ask back innocent Kenzo.
"Ssshhh.. yes. You. Who else is here?" Devano growled.
"There's something else." Kenzo replied then pointed behind Devano. "There's a lot of people behind phi."
"Ahhh!" Devano shouted frustrated.
Devano rubbed his hair and face roughly. Devano was really annoyed with the man in front of him.
"Austin! Take care of him." Devano called out to Austin. "I can go crazy dealing with this kid."
Devano stepped aside, letting Austin come forward to face the annoying cute guy.
"Hi sweetie." said Austin.
"Hi." Kenzo said cheerfully.
"What's your name?" Austin asked.
"Kenzo… Austin Danendra" Kenzo answered while mentioning Austin's name like spelling.
Austin turned to look in the direction Kenzo was looking. He saw that his name tag was on the right chest of his jacket. Her lips smiled and then hugged Kenzo. "Why did you sound the police siren, Kenzo?"
"Let the two of you disperse." Kenzo answered lightly. "It's not good to race wild. What if someone falls?"
All the Tiger members shook their heads at Kenzo's answer. What an innocent child, they thought.
"Kenzo don't you know that Kenzo just made a fatal mistake?" Austin asked excitedly.
While Kenzo just shook his head.
"Whoops! Alright alright." Austin said taking a deep breath and exhaling.
All the Tiger members laughed seeing Austin regulate his breathing.
"That's enough! Where's your phone and wallet." Austin said, holding out his hand in front of Kenzo.
"For what?" Kenzo asked confused.
"Just give it." Austin said getting frustrated by Kenzo.
Kenzo gave Austin his wallet and cell phone which he quickly accepted. His hand opened Kenzo's wallet and saw his ID card.
"You, a Stanford university student?" Austin asked, looking at Kenzo.
The one who was asked just nodded, which took everyone there by surprise.
"How can this be a coincidence?" Calvin's monologue inwardly.
Austin kept Kenzo's student ID in his trouser pocket, then turned on Kenzo's cell phone and opened it.
"Tsk kid. How can you not give a password to his cellphone." Austin grumbled, then he typed the number and dialed into his cellphone.
"Here." Austin handed Kenzo's cell phone. "I'll call you tomorrow."
"What's phi for?" Kenzo asked, surprised.
"To punish you." Austin whispered in Kenzo's ear.
Kenzo was taken aback, his body frozen in place. Had he really made a fatal mistake with Tiger? So that he will be punished by them.
"Ooh! You're dead Ken." Kenzo exclaimed in his heart.
"Hey, there you go home." Devano exclaimed.
"Don't forget tomorrow when I call you, you have to come, ok." Austin said, stroking Kenzo's hair.
Everyone went to Kai who was leaning on his motorbike.
"Go home." Kai said short.
All of the Tiger children rode their respective motorbikes, leaving Kenzo who was still standing stunned.
"Huaaaaaaa! Mom! What should I do!" Kenzo shouted dramatically.
With unsteady steps, Kenzo walked to his car to hurry home. He wanted to immediately lay down in a comfortable bed. What a tiring day for him.
*****
The next morning, Kenzo was still lazing in his bed. But suddenly the phone rings.
He took his cell phone on the nightstand, then without seeing who was calling, Kenzo immediately accepted it.
"Hello." Kenzo said with a raspy voice that is typical of waking people.
"Hello Kenzo." Someone said from the other side, which made Kenzo startled and sat down.
"A-Austin.." Kenzo stammered.
"Yes, it's me Austin." Cut the person on the other end, who turned out to be Austin. "Don't forget this afternoon, I'll be waiting for you at the engineering faculty cafeteria."
Kenzo just kept quiet and gulped his saliva.
"If you don't come_" Austin paused. "_you're dead." Austin continued as if in a whisper.
The phone line was cut off, and Kenzo was still sitting still.
"Ohhhh! How is this!" Kenzo shouted in frustration.
Kenzo was silent for a moment then thought.
"Oh yes! I don't have to go. They don't know where I live anyway." Kenzo monologue.
That day Kenzo decided not to go to university. He wants to avoid the Tiger child as much as possible.
That's right, if he likes Kai. But Kenzo is also horrified if he has to be punished by the Tiger child.
In the afternoon when Kenzo was watching a movie on his laptop, his mother came into his room to meet Kenzo.
"Ken" exclaimed Jane.
"Mmmm... what's wrong Mom." Kenzo asked.
"You have a friend downstairs, son." Jane said, stroking her son's soft mane.
"Friend. Who?" Kenzo asked, surprised.
Because if it was Edward and Edric, they would have gone straight to his room.
"Mom doesn't know. But earlier he said he had an urgent task to complete." Jane explained to her son.
"Oh. Alright Mom. Ken changed first."
Jane just nodded her head, then left Kenzo's room.
Quickly, Kenzo walked to the bathroom to wash his face and change clothes. After that, Kenzo just went down to the living room.
When they got to the living room, Kenzo was surprised to see Austin sitting there.
"Hey Kenzo." Say hello to Austin smiling.
"A-Austin." Kenzo was surprised. "H-how did you know my house?"
"Here." Austin replied showing Kenzo's university ID.
"Why can my card be with you?" Ask Kenzo again.
"It could be." Austin replied putting the card back in his jacket pocket. "Get ready, let's go now."
"Go. Where?" Kenzo asked confused.
"Tsk, you boy ask a lot of questions. Come on, hurry up."
"I don't want to." Kenzo said, shaking his head.
"What do you want?" Jane asked suddenly who appeared from inside.
"Oh Aunt. Kenzo doesn't want me to work on assignments. Even though tomorrow must be collected immediately." Austin said reasoning.
Kenzo glared at Austin, who smiled back at the master.
"If it's a task finish Kenzo immediately. It's a pity that your friend has come to pick you up." Jane said. "Go get your equipment and go."
"Yes, Mom." Kenzo answered wearily.
Kenzo got up and walked unsteadily to his room on the second floor.
"I'm finished." Kenzo screamed in his heart.
A few minutes later Kenzo came down already looking neater and carrying a bag on his right back.
"Ken goes first, Mom." Kenzo said goodbye to his mother.
"Yes. Be careful on the road son." Say Jane.
"I'm sorry Auntie." Austin said goodbye to Jane who was greeted with a nod and a shady smile by Jane.
Kenzo and Austin walked out. Kenzo walked to his car, while Austin walked to his motorbike.
"Hey Ken." Austin shouted, stopping Kenzo from getting into his car.
"Just follow me. You don't have to take the car."
"No need. I'll just take my car."
"Not." Austin said firmly, pulling Kenzo's hand to his motorbike.
"You will definitely run away if you bring your own car." Austin added, as if he knew what was in Kenzo's mind.
But it's true. If Kenzo intends to escape from Austin in his car. Oh.. but the attempt failed.
Kenzo scowled in annoyance.
"Come on up." Said Austin who was already riding his motorbike.
"How do I get on it?" Kenzo asked, confused.
So far, Kenzo has never ridden a sports bike like this. So he's having a hard time climbing it.
"Hold my shoulder." Austin said shrugging his shoulders.
Kenzo complied, grabbed Austin's shoulder and got on Austin's motorbike.
After it was felt that Kenzo had boarded his motorbike, Austin started his motorbike out of Kenzo's house.
Along the way Kenzo's mind was racing. What would Tiger's son want to do to him.
"Austin! Where are we going?" Kenzo shouted slightly when he saw that it was getting quiet.
"You'll find out later." Austin shouted along.
Kenzo just kept quiet and looked around. Until finally, Austin stopped his motorbike in a simple house.
Kenzo immediately came down. Meanwhile, Austin parked his motorbike next to another motorbike that was already lined up neatly in the yard.
"Whose house is this?" Austin asked, confused.
"Come in." Take Austin to Kenzo.
Obediently, Kenzo followed Austin into the house. When he arrived at the house, Kenzo was very surprised. In that room Kenzo saw a lot of Tiger members gathered there.
"Oh Lord! Will I survive." Kenzo's monologue inwardly swallowed his saliva.
Austin immediately sat on the sofa without letting Kenzo sit down.
"Hey Ken." Who is Calvin friendly?
"H-hi too." Kenzo replied, grinning.
"Sit down here." Kenan told him to pat the sofa next to him.
"Y-yes." Kenzo complied and sat beside Kenan.
Kenzo sat restlessly, his eyes widening the room.
"Eat Ken." Galen said handing Kenzo potato chips without taking his eyes off the television showing the Doraemon cartoon series..
"You." Kai called out of the room.
Kenzo turned his head and pointed at himself.
"Can you cook?" Kai asked without further ado. The cold-looking young man sat beside Austin.
"Can." Kenzo nodded.
"Clean this whole house. Then cook food for all of us." Kai said.
"I alone?" Kenzo asked in disbelief.
Kai just nodded and took his phone and played it. Ignoring Kenzo who is now staring at him.
"How dare you ask me to clean all this myself. And cook for everyone too!" Kenzo exclaimed, complaining.
"This place is so messy again." Kenzo added, complaining that the house was so messy.
"Okay, I'll change the punishment." Kai said not taking his eyes off his cellphone.
Kenzo smiled happily because Kai would change his punishment for him.
"Fight them all." Kai said pointing at his friends.
Kenzo's eyes widened, his head immediately shook. Reject Kai.
"No, no, no. I'd better clean this house and cook." Kenzo refused excitedly.
"I would die silly if I had to fight them all." Kenzo winced at the thought of fighting dozens of Tiger members.
