Falling in Love With the Warmth of Another Man
Orphans

"Wake up, I won't hurt you" Annan said, Bagas looked at him and immediately woke up. They all looked relieved.

"I'm just going to ask you a few questions" Annan said, the three nodding their heads quickly.

"Thursday last week, up ahead, did you guys see anything suspicious?" Ask Annan.

The three of them looked at each other, Annan heard the girl whisper how they should have called the police back then.

"What do you see.if you tell me the truth, I won't even get angry. I'll even forget I saw the three of you here" Annan said.

Bagas began to speak,

"Thursday at about 8 we were walking back here when we heard the car passing by, we thought it was police and panicked so we hid in the bushes. We heard someone get out of the car and he was talking on the phone about something. After a few minutes, he got into his car and left again. We walked towards him and we saw a girl lying there" Bagas said

Then the other boy, Udon spoke, spoke,

"We thought he was dead when we approached Mega to check and there was a heartbeat" Udon said

"Udon and I tried to pick him up and take him to the hospital when we heard the couple yelling at us... I guess from afar it looks like we're trying to... That girl..." Continue Bagas while blushing towards the end.

Annan sighed,

"Did you see anything else like a license plate or the person who took it there?" Annan. Bagas shook his head,

"We just heard his voice" he said.

"What is a man?" Annan said, the three nodded their heads.

"If you hear his voice again, will you recognize him?" Annan said to them, they all nodded their heads.

Annan sighed in relief at least he found something, though,

"Do you know what he's saying?" Annan

"Once again, we were all afraid of being discovered so we paid less attention" said Mega the girl.

Annan went into the room they had occupied earlier, he saw old furniture and some makeshift beds in the place I assumed to be the living room.

"Aren't you a little too old for a club house?" Ask Annan

They all looked down and rubbed their necks,

"We live here" said Bagas. Annan looked at them confusedly,

"Where are your parents?"

"We didn't have one, we met at the orphanage a year ago, we couldn't take it anymore so we ran away and found this place" said the boy.

"What about food? Money?" Annan asked again, until now Annan did not realize how dirty and tired they looked.

"We go into town and do odd jobs and make money to eat, sometimes some restaurant owners pity us so much that they give us leftovers" he replied.

"Sometimes we don't eat ..." Further again.

"What about school?" Annan

"We haven't been to school for over a year,"

Annan looked around, then looked at them. They looked at Annan like a stray puppy, then all three knelt down.

"Please don't tell anyone we live here!" they all screamed in unison. Annan sighed,

"Wake up the three of you" they opened their eyes and looked at Annan then slowly woke up.

"Look at the three of you, you look dirty when was the last time you took a shower" Annan said. They all looked down in shame.

"Let's stay at my place tonight because you answered my question" Annan said

The three of them smiled and followed Annan out and they walked to Annan's apartment

When they reached Annan's apartment, the three of them stared in awe.

"Wow, you must be very rich!" Bagas said the other two nodded in agreement.

Annan walked into his bedroom after which he walked out with 3 boxes and placed them on the floor.

"This is my old clothes that you can use" Annan said, pointing to the bathroom.

"There's a bathroom so you can take a shower" Annan said, nodding his head.

"What do you want to eat?" Annan asked, they looked at each other.

"The pizza!" they said the three at the same time.

"Okay, order a pizza" Annan said and walked into the living room and called the pizza parlor. When it was finished he decided to look at one of the files again.

Annan chuckles, the file says that the couple, seeing some teenage boys trying to sexually harass Kirana and they save her.

"Stupid" muttered Annan.

"Who's Stupid?" Annan heard someone say, he looked up and saw Bagas in his old clothes drying his hair with a towel.

"Nothing" Annan said

"How does a cop get paid enough to get a house this big?" Bagas asked while looking around. Annan grinned,

"I'm not actually a cop, I'm a lawyer, I have my own law firm" Annan said, Bagas looking at her with wide eyes.

"J-So you're lying" he said and, Annan nodded his head, He looked at Annan, then noticed the files and one of them opened with a photo of Kirana.

"Oh, that's the girl, she's very pretty," he said then looked at Annan and smiled cunningly.

"Is he your girlfriend?"

"No, he's not my girlfriend, he's just a friend" Annan said, looking at the file again toward the end. Bagas patted Annan on the back, Annan looked up and Bagas looked at him sympathetically.

"So you're in the friend zone, don't worry, I think you have hope" he said, brandishing his fists.

"I-I'm not in the friend zone! He's married!"

Bagas placed his hands on his heart and acted as if they had just been shot, he said,

"Oh, that's even worse" he said in a voice like he was in pain. Annan picked up one of the sofa cushions and threw it at him. He ran out of the room laughing,

"Disrespectful little boy" Annan murmured to himself.

Annan continued to look through the files again fearing he missed something, after a while, Annan stood up and stretched and walked towards the kitchen to grab a glass of water.

As Annan looked at the three of them, already bathing and dressing new, now they were laughing at something.

Because of curiosity Annan also walked towards them when they saw me. They hid it behind them. Annan looked at them suspiciously,

"What are you laughing at?" Ask

They all just stared at Annan without saying anything, Annan walked over and snatched what they saw.

"Where did you three find this?"

"It was at the bottom of one of the boxes" Udon said, pushing his glasses back.
