At Least I’M Free
XXXX

Who would have thought in the middle of the city like this there are still beds or semi-permanent buildings used by thugs to gather.

After passing through the narrow path between the winding shophouse buildings, Lilya arrived at a hidden area with a fence similar to a ground-floored house, a zinc roof, and a fragile triplex wall. Although narrow and slum, confidentiality is quite guaranteed because in addition to the lack of access is also squeezed by the large buildings of shophouses and shops around it.

While hiding behind the wall of the alley, Lilya observed Udo and the man who had brought him inside the building and greeted two other people who were playing chess on a wooden deck.

"Oiii! There's Udo!" Said the man.

It was fortunate that the door was left open so that Lilya could clearly see what was happening inside there.

Although their attitude was calm, but the fierce appearance of the people made the atmosphere inside there feel tense.

In his heart Lilya was eager to pull Udo's hand and take him away from there. However, he had to be patient a little more until everything became clear.

"So afraid you're the same Kusdi Ampe should come when he doesn't exist?" Ledek one of the men in a leather jacket who was playing chess.

"Yaa ask who is fighting for Anton's broken leg when charged yesterday" said the other while moving a chess piece on the board.

Udo rubbed his eyes with his index finger and thumb, looking frustrated. "I-it's not my bang. yakali I can break people's legs..."

Hearing that Lilya so remembered the moment when she first met Udo, he had indeed beaten up the thugs who beat up the boy. Even broke the leg of one of them.

'So they're a gang?' Inner Lilya seemed enlightened.

Brak!

"Lu was wrong for not paying his debt! The Kusdi with Anton just work, wrong of them what ampe beaten so badly?!" Sergeh the leather jacket thug kicked Lesehan until chess pieces in front of him scattered.

The feathers of Udo stood up immediately. His tongue was a bit off even though he wanted to argue.

"Judah, you know that the loud one is not the Udo, but the girl." The thugs who took Udo tried to stop the fight. "The problem is just the language, now the Udo mo love the money."

The thugs stared at the witty Udo. "Weh! Mo pay you?! Dah bother dateng here must be paid dong?"

"G-no bang, this just so happens to be new yesterday dapet a little money." Udo took out an envelope containing money from Mr. Danu the other day. "Bang Fajar said that today bang Kusdi came to work, so I was told to come straight here."

Unknowingly Lilya heaved a sigh of relief knowing her initial worries turned out to be refuted.

"Lu is young. Hard work with napa." Dawn seized the envelope in Udo's hand and began to count its contents. "Inget ya do, if the debt problem is settled, we-we will come to you ama the girl. Not nothing, kasian tuh the Anton still can not walk ampe now, our time is diem aja buddy digituin, yes?"

Udo could only fall silent with a raging mind. He really did not want to involve Lilya in his problems but what power he was too weak to fight.

On the other hand Lilya patted the jidat. This is why he hates thugs, the sense of solidarity they profess is completely useless and excessive.

"Sorry bang.." Udo finally cried out in a quivering voice.

"Sorry not enough." Dawn pat Udo on the shoulder. "Nih stay three doang right here, the rest slam bones nyari money. Fortunately, this morning, the children of the rich were giving escort work for the next few days. Pretty right?"

Instantly Lilya was stunned. The rich kids? A escort?

Along with the questions that began to revolve in his mind, unknowingly Lilya's body moved itself through the door.

Having a girl suddenly enter, the thugs appear shocked in a non-threatening sense. Evident from their subsequent behavior that began to look at each other before finally smiling mesem.

"Eh eneng pretty... rough huh? Want brother ander home?" Tapping the thug leather jacket with a slithering sound.

"If you can tell, what's his name?" Add the Dawn which immediately greeted another laugh.

Lilya clucked, then looked at Udo who immediately stared with wide eyes reluctant to believe her own vision. How not, more than anyone else on this earth, he would at least want to have Lilya come here.

"Oi Udo! When are you going to be there?" Ask Lilya with a tinge.

Udo was getting cornered, now he really did not know what to do.

"Eh? Want to get Udo?" Dawn asked half surprised.

Lilya's attention was again distracted. The infuriating reaction from the people before him was upsetting him.

"When you're gonna have a good conversation." Lilya sighed regretfully. "Well, bodo is very, very good to be here too."

Lilya walked over to Fajar as if deliberately feeding herself. "That's a job this morning, Renaldi's name is with Ersya isn't it?"

"Well, if it's a company secret. If you want to know, pay first." The eyes of Dawn could not help but look towards the chest of the girl before him.

"How much is this paid?" Tanya Lilya relax.

Dawn began to cry, of course he would not reject it, he happily began to stick out his hand to reach the body of the girl in front of him. However, not yet arrived, Lilya directly put up the horse and pointed her fist right into the intimate part of the man.

Bukk!

“Aargghh!!”

Holding the part that was hit, Dawn's body staggered backwards until it hit the wall.

It took a while until the people who witnessed it were aware of what had happened. The cries of the pain of Dawn echoed to fill the room of the mute people.

While Udo's body began to tremble as his fear became reality, slowly the two thug colleagues rose up as if they had just managed to process what happened.

“W-woi! What the fuck?!

Lilya turned to face them. Aware of the increasingly heated situation, the girl laughed and smiled proudly while folding both hands on the chest.

"Fathers, know me this is the girl who broke Anton's leg!"

"Udo's girl?!" Show Dawn from behind, start sitting helpless.

Lilya grinned and looked at the ignorant Udo, knowing for sure that his answer would determine the future fate of the man. "Yup, Udo's girl."

Udo's legs immediately felt limp, he crouched down and grabbed his own hair reluctant to watch the chaos that would break a moment later.
