Criminal: I Love Criminals!
Don't Leave Me, Morgan!

...WEEK LATER...

“You want to go again?” I said when I saw Morgan was wearing back the black leather jacket he used to wear.

“There are old colleagues I have to meet”

“What if the people from yesterday came here again? Me...”

“Calm down, you'll be fine. Listen Bella, I'll move the kids to another safer place first, you can come with them when I manage to find that place later.”

“How about you?”

“Not mind that, I'm used to this situation. While you? Not at all”

“No want!” I firmly refuse, strongly. “You promised to accept me and teach me to be independent, I can't accept that you just stay.!”.

“You're stupid huh?” he said with a slightly high tone.

I looked away, my mouth pursed in annoyance at his plans, “You always call me stupid.”

“Indeed you are a fool, a matchless fool...! my life isn't as easy as the other people out there, don't you see Chiko? Daisy's? Other kids? You. This path I choose will also be at risk for those of you who have interactions with me. Living with them is not bad, you can also change when you are with them. So it's better that we split up until here alone, you'll be safer if you don't get involved with me anymore.”.

I can understand Morgan's opinions and concerns. It is very risky to live and live with him, a criminal. Not only is it heavy for me, but it is clear for him as well. The fateful event we experienced yesterday, and Chiko's death certainly shook and degraded the mentality of the steel he had. But I still doubt if I should really not be with him anymore. I already feel Morgan is a destiny I can't miss.

From beyond the night wind kept on rushing in. I got a blanket to avoid the tormenting cold. The wall clock shows the night is late. From the window glass, the sky looks bright with dark blue. There were a few stars there, with a faint light greeting from the heights, as if to accompany me thinking of Morgan who had left me alone at home, albeit with an elusive feeling, I felt his presence here, like he was being watched. Not to do evil but to protect.

Our meeting was short and seemed less romantic if it became a love story.

One night, at my engagement. I found David cheating even while the show was still going on. Funny thing is that he was angry because I humbled the woman he cheated on, he beat me outside the building where our event was held. With this weak body and mentality, I dare not fight him at all. Then, Morgan came up gallantly. Like a hero who comes to the rescue. Although I was surprised at first when he said that he was a criminal but this love of mine, I don't think it was about physical, work or financial. At that time I felt that morgan had robbed my heart suddenly in just a few seconds. I don't know how he did it, bringing out the love of ordinary things.

I got up from the bed, this time my resolve was round. I went to the kitchen and cooked back the gravy she had asked for first. Although there was still a slight sense of trauma at the sight of the knife, I tried to vent myself.

I sipped a little bit of the vermicelli I just made, “Good! This time he won't die if he eats this!”

Chequelek

“Bihun?”

I immediately ran to greet him at the kitchen door when I heard his heavy voice coming out.

“Welcome, papa!” I said excitedly.

I chuckled, thrilled to tease such a stiff man. Well, at least don't be too uptight after she plans to keep me out of her life.

“Sorry, I'm only cooking vermicelli.”

Then with a timid face he thrust out his hand which was carrying a large white plastic

“I bought Nasi kepal and seaweed, you want to eat?”

“Mau..”

Having dinner together with him, was very simple but very meaningful as well. He's still paying attention by bringing me dinner.

After his food ran out, he suddenly stood up. “Where are you?” I said.

“Migarette”

“Why should I get out? Smoking here is also okay.”

“Can you here..”

My eyes are rounded. She was so nice, all this time everyone I met smoked without caring about me. I know how to cry, and I know how to lie, I know how to pretend, I know the night is getting late, and I know the time will pass. I wasn't going to tell her everything I had to tell her, but I knew I had to try it, I knew all the rules and I knew how to break them. But I don't know how to leave you, and I'll never let you fall.

BRACKET

“I've decided!” I shouted hitting the table, he who was standing on the balcony directly looked back.

“What?”

“I will always follow you, don't want to part!” i firmly.

“Stupid! Who are you to make a decision. I refuse!”

“You promised!”

Morgan was silent for a moment and then let out a long sigh. “Listen, I'm not a nice guy. Life with me won't be easy, so you should always be prepared for all the risks. Learn to be useful, otherwise you will only trouble me.”

I sumringah, doesn't that mean he approved my decision?, “Siap, sir!”
