A/N: The translations may be a bit off since i don't speak Malay. I just used google translate. But i kind of wanted to show Forth's multilingual skills rather than just writing them in English.
Sorry for not updating for a while. AGAIN. I'll try to update again, tomorrow to make up for it.
Hope you enjoy!
Forth's pov:
The next day we decided to go around the neighbourhood a bit after breakfast.
There were small cafés and stalls everywhere.
We were looking at some flowers in a flower shop when i noticed a small boy run into the road without looking around.
A truck was heading straight for him.
I ran as fast as i could and grabbed him. I managed to jump to the side of the road without getting hit with him in my arms.
"Forth!" Beam ran towards us.
He knelt beside us.
Many people gathered around us looking at us worriedly.
One of the women approached us.
"Adakah awak ok?" (Malay) She asked worriedly.
I smiled and nodded.
I looked at the boy.
He also nodded.
Beam looked at me questioning.
She asked if we were ok.
He nodded.
I stood the boy up.
Beam held my arm and helped me stand.
One of the men approached the boy.
"Di manakah ibu bapa anda?" (Malay) He asked the boy.
"Saya tidak tahu." (Malay) The boy replied.
Beam tugged at my sleeve.
The man asked where his parents are. He said he doesn't know.
He frowned.
I looked around and non of of the people around here seem to know the boy.
"Di manakah kali terakhir anda melihat mereka?" (Malay) Another woman approached him.
"Berhampiran kafe." (Malay) He replied.
She asked where he last saw them. He said near the café.
I showed it to Beam.
He nodded.
Just then a woman came running towards us.
"Ali!" She hugged him tightly.
"Kenapa awak lari begitu?" (Malay) She asked frantically.
(Trans:Why did you run off like that?)
"Saya melihat rama-rama yang cantik." (Malay) He answered cheerfully.
(Trans:I saw a beautiful butterfly.)
I chuckled.
Beam looked at me questioning.
She asked him why he ran off like that. He said he saw a beautiful butterfly.
He raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
"Anda tidak boleh lari seperti itu. Sekiranya budak lelaki ini tidak sampai tepat pada waktunya, anda pasti dihancurkan oleh trak itu." (Malay) The man scolded him.
(Trans:You can't run off like that. If this boy did not arrive on time, you would have been crushed by the truck.)
