11. Urband Legend
"Boss!"
Kenzo turned his head. Beside him was Lidia who was busy making fun of him for some reason.
"What?"
"Does the boss know?" Lidia asked while licking the melted ice cream funnel.
"No!" Kenzo replied curtly, glancing across the road.
It's been a few minutes already. Kenzo and Lidia moved to visit an ice cream shop not far from a KFC restaurant. And yes, the one who paid for all the food was of course Kenzo himself.
"I'm serious Boss.." Lidia looked lazily at her boss.
"Then what? You asked but didn't explain, how would I know?" Kenzo's tone of voice seemed to invite a fistfight, an annoying tone of voice.
"That's right.." Lydia mumbled to herself.
"Sorry sorry, I mean does Boss know about the Legend of HIKIKO?" said Lydia.
Kenzo snorted, didn't he know that the person beside him was very afraid of ghosts? In the middle of the cold night he even talked about Ghosts.
"You know. Isn't that the legendary ghost from Japan? Its name is very familiar to my ears," Kenzo replied.
"What!" Lidia screamed as if she couldn't believe it.
"Why?"
Lidia shook her head looking at her Boss. "Just so you know Boss, the ghost of Hikiko is already very famous in Japan. But not in Indonesia. Does Boss often stream Urband Legend? If he is, may I hear it from the Boss version?" Lidia said cupping her hands together supporting her chin.
Kenzo narrowed his eyes strangely. "For what? Besides, I don't want to talk about ghosts. It's said that we shouldn't talk about Hikiko's ghost either. We could be badly affected even if we just talk about invisible beings. Many people also say, we can meet the ghost later." Kenzo replied shuddering in fear.
"Miss! That's just a myth. This boss is so coward-"
"Who's a stupid coward! If ghosts are myths, then where did that thought come from? Of course, it's not a matter of spreading rumors about legendary wandering spirits." Upset Kenzo.
"I was just commenting," Lidia pouted. "But Boss-"
"What!"
Kenzo looked fiercely at Lidia, the girl was grinning at her boss's sharp gaze. What a shameless girl, Kenzo really wanted to fire her right now.
"There you go! Your family must be waiting." Kenzo said.
Lydia shook her head. "Says who? Boss knows that my parents are very insensitive, in fact they are not actually my biological parents. So it's only natural that if I come home late at any time, they certainly won't question it." Lidia said with a sigh.
"Then let's go home!" Bring Kenzo.
"Let's go!" Lidia took her boss's arm guiltlessly.
Kenzo didn't push Lidia's hand away from his arm, that's because he already thought that the girl was like his own little sister, not much different from Juna.
Kenzo glanced at the flow of the street, a car was speeding towards them. Lidia, who was not aware of the car being used by Kenzo.
"Watch out!" Kenzo shouted pulling Lidia's body and..
'Cipraatt!'
The puddles splashed on Lidia's face and front body. The car that passed them just now was still going fast without stopping for a moment to apologize.
Kenzo's current position made Lidia a shield to protect herself from splashing puddles of water, leaving her face wet with smelly sewer water. Lidia rubbed her face with one palm.
"Fuuhhh!"
His face was now bathed in germs and bacteria, the front of his shirt was also wet, splashed with foul-smelling water.
"Yaakkkkk!"
Kenzo removed his grip from Lidia. "We we.. Sorry Li.. I was-"
"Come here!" Lydia shouted again facing the back.
Kenzo swallowed hard, without warning he ran after seeing the angry face of the girl in front of him.
"Kabooooorrrrr!"
Lidia stomped the ground in annoyance while whining. "Huwaaaaa.." The girl was actually crying on the side of the road because of her damn boss.
**
The next morning. Kenzo was already at the ready in the kitchen. Today the restaurant will open after Kenzo comes home from school. As usual, she prepared food for breakfast as well as lunch for her sister, Juna.
Yes, Juna will be going to school soon. Kenzo had to earn a lot of money to pay for his younger brother so that his younger brother could be educated.
"Juna!" Call Kenzo.
"Yes bro?" Juna said in a hoarse voice while rubbing her eyes towards her brother.
"Just woke up?" Kenzo asked crouching in front of his sister.
Jun nodded.
"There is already breakfast on the table, in the refrigerator and on the nightstand there is also a mirror if Juna is hungry later. Brother goes to school first, you are at home be careful not to open the door for anyone except Lidia and Sis. Do you understand?" Juna nodded once again.
"Good, then brother goes to secondary school. Emuuahh.." Kenzo kissed his sister's forehead and stood up.
"Don't forget to take a shower after breakfast, brother, let's go first, Junaaa!" Kenzo shouted as he walked out of the house.
"Yeah!" That's the only answer Juna shouted.
The boy walked to a chair, sat there and started eating his breakfast of toasted chocolate jam and milk. Her favorite menu, Juna is very grateful to have an older brother Kenzo.
In the yard, Kenzo got ready to ride his bicycle. But not far in front of him was Lidia smiling at him.
"What are you looking at? Get out of the way!" Kenzo snapped.
"Ish Boss is so fierce, I just want to go together." Upset Lydia.
"But I don't want to go with you, you better get out of the way my bike wants to pass," Kenzo snarled harshly.
"May I come on a bicycle with you?" asked Lidia with sparkling eyes.
"No!"
"Yah.. Why? I did.."
"Febee can be jealous seeing me ride you later, you certainly don't want to be the target of his bullies at school?" Obviously Kenzo.
Lidia thought for a moment, that's right.
"Then what do I ride, Boss? I haven't been paid," asked Lidia.
"Walking!"
After saying that Kenzo went past the gaping Lidia, how cruel is this Boss? Even though he came here to code to borrow money for snacks at school.
"Ish.. Boss sucks!" Lidia bent her face with her arms crossed over her chest.
Kenzo ignored him, he was busy pedaling his bicycle down the side of the highway. He has always been a very stupid type, no matter if people are difficult or not. The most important thing is that he is not harmed, he is not stingy or selfish, he just doesn't want to get involved in new problems.
Many beautiful trees planted growing in the ground, clear morning sky and warm morning sun. Today is spring, where tropical weather nourishes and ages plants.
It was quite a journey if taken only by bicycle, it was normal for Kenzo to sweat before class started.
"Hemm.. Hemm.." Kenzo mumbled after mutter.
'Brakkkk thump!'
Something accidentally hit Kenzo, as a result he fell to the ground with a slumped state. His buttocks and elbows hurt, when he looked, he found that there were a few abrasions.
With an expression of cursing, Kenzo sat up and looked up to see who was stupidly blocking his way. His eyes bulged, not out of anger but out of shock to see who was in front of him.
Yes.. Kenzo almost hit a grown woman in a blood red dress.
"You!"
Kenzo stood pointing at the woman in front of him, with a limp he gave a look of disbelief. Just as he was about to run into someone, luckily he was able to dodge and only got a scratch.
"Can you see the road? You should have looked to your right and left, I almost hit you with a bicycle!" Oops Kenzo.
The woman just stared at Kenzo from behind her tousled hair. Ooh no, something Kenzo just forgot. The woman was not a grown woman let alone a woman in a red dress, but a high school student with a complete school bet and a uniform covered in blood..
"W-You W-Who?" Kenzo stammered, not realizing that his feet were stepping back stiffly.
The girl looked at Kenzo even more sharply, she secretly smiled lopsidedly with her tongue slightly licking the remaining red stain on her lips.
"Hikiko.."
The woman answered in a tone that sounded more like a sinister whisper. Kenzo froze, his heart beating faster when he saw clearly what the woman's face in front of him looked like.
