At Least I’M Free

“K-you're not papa?" Ersya asked as she stared at the bruises and blood on Udo's face.

"Yes? How blind is that?" Udo grimaced as Ersya tried to touch his face. "And you crazy chick, why was her leg broken?! If I could be killed by a gini, I would be killed by his accomplice!"

"You realize you can't take care of yourself, just report to the police!" Cetus Lilya cheerfully while re-picking her backpack and helmet.

"It can't be dong. I'm-" so frustrated, Udo can't hear his own voice because a loud buzzing fills his hearing. He never thought he would feel this bad after someone saved. To be sure he understood one thing, that this girl who was standing with a witty look in front of him was a dangerous person.

"You owe money to the loan shark again?" Ersya asked without any surprised tone in her voice.

Udo turned, he lowered his head while his hand squeezed the ground. "Gue..had no choice."

"How much did you pinjem?" Timbrung Lilya

"Two..."

"Two million?"

"Twenty."

"Twenty million?!" Lilya. His brain was trying hard to understand that reality. "Lo make catfish business what how?!"

"Yes that..." Udo suddenly clumsy. His eyes glanced back and forth trying to dodge. "Gue.. lose to Slot."

"Ersya.." call Lilya in a weak voice.

"Huh-yes?" Somehow but Ersya could feel the disappointment from Lilya's voice.

"Slot is not an online gambling slot, right?"

Ersya was silent. And so is Udo.

"For what..." Lilya took a long breath. "I won't help you."

...* * *...

"Who are you here with?" Lilya observed the 3x3-sized room with its floor filled with trash bags and dirty clothes, while the 'worthy' furniture there was only a mattress and a small nightstand beside it.

"Yes himself. I'm an orphan, I'm staying with his girlfriend but I don't want to follow." Answer Udo while looking for a comfortable position to lie down.

"Udo, where's the p3k box?" Ersya seems to be trying to find any medicine that can relieve the wound between the items scattered on the floor.

"Lo this word UKS? Yes there is none! Adu..." Udo's timpal was in immediate pain from over-expression.

"Any ice cube?" Ersya did not give up.

Udo. "Do I need to describe how the refrigerator looks like?"

While they were busy asking questions, Lilya chose to separate herself to the door and started playing her phone.

"Judah I bought it to the shop," said Ersya in the end. However, just as he was about to open the door, it had already been opened by someone from outside.

"The old sorry broke down his motorcycle..." Arvin watched the entire room in confusion. Especially when he saw Udo lying with a bruised face here and there. "Why you?"

Lazy replied Udo just closed his eyes. While Lilya seems indifferent and busy with her phone screen. His last hope was only with Ersya.

"Later explained yes, now I have to buy ice cubes first." Ersya was about to get past Arvin but the guy wouldn't let her.

"Daustralia. Let the cave buy."

"But you've just sampled." Ersya did not want to give up and tried to break through, but Arvin was just as stubborn.

"Who the cave is buying," said Arvin trying to convince. However, there was no sign of succumbing from Ersya.

"Udah... aja sono. do not need complicated," cetus Lilya without taking his eyes off hp.

Seeing that cold reaction Arvin looked at the girl grudgingly.

"Yaudah come. Kasian Udo." Ersya took advantage of the opportunity to break through walking outside. Shortly after, Arvin followed him without saying anything more.
