Falling Into Your Trap
A Destroyed Marriage; Between Life And Death

Feels weird. Floating in the air was pulled by the powerful earth maghnet. Nalisa's ears buzzed. Is this what paratroopers who jump from heights always feel? Nalisa remembers wondering what it was like to fall from such a high place and enjoy it as their smiling faces showed.

It didn't feel as good as Lisa had imagined. Indeed, it felt like he was flying and hovering. It feels free like all the problems are lost in being hit by the strong wind around it. But it also feels cramped. He could barely breathe and panicked as there was nowhere for him to set footing.

Maybe he's just not a professional in his field. He was a commoner who had no prior training and preparation. Perhaps it was because he was also unable to neutralize his heartbeats that were filled with adrenaline and excessive satisfaction earlier so now, he panicked and tried to scoop up as much air as possible to get his organs to function as they normally would.

Nalisa almost wheezed because she couldn't control herself. Tears are sliding against the fall. She did not cry because she was sorry, but she cried because suddenly she was afraid that she did not land in the right place.

With her eyes blurry due to the wet water and strong wind around her, the woman tried to shift downwards. He has to see if he'll make it.

Perfection in the plan never succeeded in merging with each other. The wind suddenly blew louder than before. Nalisa shouted, her dress that was too big and had a lot of heavy tassels spread out in all directions. It felt like he was wavering, swinging right and left as if he was playing a hanging swing and someone pushed him with all his might.

Natisa panic. He flailing. Shouts many obscure names. Importantly, there's an Alpino name in there. His best friend will save him. He prayed out loud. Although somewhat convoluted because his tongue is tied tangled, but Nalisa asked for help so that he was given safety for his own actions at risk.

”Al, please, please I” There is a sob between his expectations.

Lisa had no idea why it felt like time was moving too long for her. He didn't understand why he didn't feel the fall as fast as he should have seen in action movies on the big screen. He did not even wear a parachute or other assistive devices that were a major rescue factor. Why does it feel like he is so tested by time slowing down?

Is this because he has gone too far to expose his parents? Has it been too much to hurt both of his parents?

Nalisa knew that she had become very rebellious. But most of his tight chest was satisfaction. A second of the problems and questions between life and death flashed through his eyes and mind. Nalisa remembers something, people say about how the flashbacks of life will look in front of the eyes like a broken tape of the memory of her life when someone will experience death.

Nalisa doesn't want to die.

He wants to be free, right. But he didn't want to die silly.

He's not gonna die. She swore.

I don't know why he feels pessimistic.

Nalisa, with her strength remaining and the gusts of wind crashing, managed to see where the fall was headed. His eyes are wide, of course. There is no perfection. There is no success without the dark spot of mistakes of the entire plan that has even been ascertained and tested many times.

So, when his eyes caught the distant spot that turned out to be deviated from what it should be, he closed his eyes while hugging his fiercely trembling body.

”Yes Allah, Nalisa does not want to die. Please.”

Her voice is soft. As she felt herself getting closer to the ground, the woman forced herself to curl up.

Resignedly.

...........

Alpino walked quickly to where he had to be. His heart was beating so hard that what his ears heard was the sound itself. His steps were unsteady, he even nearly tripped if he did not attempt to stand up properly and hold his body.

Desire and buzz overwhelm his sense of hearing. Alpino can feel the stomach acid rise so that the pain and nausea become one. His hands were trembling unusually. His head continued to shout out words that his limbs had to understand in order to act.

It felt like Alpino was almost crazy when he found the point where the Air Cushion that Fajri and Jihan had been trying and smuggling desperately stood gallantly in front of him. It was not the best to accommodate a human jumping from a tall building. Nor does it meet the standards of fire safety officers who have the license and permission to use the goods.

But it's the last thing Jihan has to give as a complement to Nalisa's crazy plan of safety. Air Cushion which is owned by a sports institution that Jihan is engaged in as a field of work now is not an abal-abal institution. They also have a license, but for the use of Air Cushion is not so necessary that they make one as a replica that is almost similar.

Previously, Nalisa had asked for a mattress stacked into pieces, but it was too risky to be caught by the crowd. Not to mention, the officers and employees who are in this hotel will definitely oppose all-out and report this forbidden matter to the people in power. The bride's two families will find out so that Nalisa won't be able to escape the marriage she doesn't want until the last fiber of her life.

Exhaling an unconscious breath he had held for some time, Alpino felt his head ache. He repeatedly looked up to see if the place was right. Is there any fault with the water cushion they're wearing. With his shaky legs, he paced back and forth to see if the wind inside the thing was reduced, whether there was a flaw from the thick rubber plastic that was not even initially willing to expand when they tried it.

”Nalisa. I beg you. If you're wondering, I'll be the one who died Nalisa. I can't afford to squirm lo if this doesn't work.”

His voice trembled, the breath he exhaled was irregular. Alpino leaned on that thing with his body still tense. His eyes glanced at the watch. The phone is still in his hands to find out the code given by Fajri and Jihan so that he can prepare himself when Nalisa starts doing things that are beyond reason.

However, just as he had taken his eyes off the electronic object, Alpino was half-deadly shocked when he found out that Hexa was right in front of him with a confused and curious expression. Although the look in his eyes was a bit dim, he seemed to not believe what he had seen.

”Ap-” His question sentence was truncated when Hexa opened her voice quickly.

”What do you want to do with it, Al?” He looked as if Alpino had a dangerous secret.

In fact, yes, this is a dangerous secret and concerns the life of a stubborn rebel woman.

”K-why are you here, Hexa? Do you want to see L-Li-Lisa's wedding?”

Alpino returned the question. Either he could still call the Hexa one or not, but what Alpino regretted was how his voice became stammering.

”Gue ask lo. Why are you asking me back?” Hexa's voice was not snapping as usual. It falls into a silent question that demands an answer.

”Gue is nothing. Go straight up, right away. Don't mind me here” Alpino replied awkwardly.

”Long.” Hex spoke again. This time, he urged her to be honest.

”Hex.. Pleases. Don't lure me. Lo mending go upstairs, enjoy the show and stay here” Alpino licked his lips before throwing his face away from Hexa and continued his speech again.

“Lo-, you must have understood why I'm here? L-lo guess I'm s-able to squirm the person I love married d-with someone else?”

Alpino doesn't want to bring this out actually, after all, today he's more worried about bigger things than he feels. But this was all he could think of and Hexa would definitely understand and understand him better.

”Oh.” Heksa mutters.

Alpino cheered inwardly with the relief that ruled his heart. But unfortunately, Hexa did not move. He was still there, with a pitiful looking dim gaze looking at Alpino with a somewhat uncomfortable pity.

Alpino can't keep dividing his attention by things that don't really matter at the moment. He had to wait for the code given to him, but Hexa never stepped out of him. It seemed, frustration loomed over Alpino as fast as his terrified heart ran through.

”Yes, Hexa. Oh. So can you please stay with me now? I don't want anyone else to see my destruction even if it's you, Sa. Please, give me space, huh?”

Alpino rubbed his face. He really hoped that Hexa would leave soon. Even his brain had already shouted many pleas to expel the person he did not expect to be here.

”If so, just grab the Realism. Lo upstairs keep asking Nalisa to elope, Al. Fight your heart if for example you do not want him to be with other people” Small Hexa Voice, without tone. It was as if he was being moved by a certain button.

Alpino sighed, his tongue making a cracking sound that signified that he could not deal with the broken man. He's just broken here and trying to be a bad luck hero for someone else. If he added another one on his wings, he wouldn't be able to. His priority now is the safety of Nalisa and if Hexa continues to insist like this showing that the man also has destruction in both hands, Alpino will be a ruthless man to push him away.

So, Alpino had to press the Hexa emotional switch for her best friend to leave immediately and hate her. That's enough for now, he'll handle the risk later.

”Gue is not lo, Hexa” Alpino with the bitterness of his voice, snapping. He set foot to meet and beat back the figure of the Hexah.

”Means lo?” The voice of Heksa became loud. His eyes also shone furiously towards Alpino. ”Gue is only the best so that you do not hurt, jerk” he continued with a rough lase.

”Gue does not need the advice of a jerk who has damaged the friendship and relationships of others like you. I'm not the one who's willing to turn others into traitors, Sa. I'm better than you because I know what I have to do without making any damage”

Alpino actually doesn't want to bring this up in the conversation. Previously, he had already planned to speak four eyes with the man. He knew that Hexa was not doing well and had no one to support him in this matter. Hell, Alpino even knows, in the life of the man who now looks so miserable, he only has Hala. And now, Hala was not even within his reach anymore.

The boy was, in fact, lost.

Alpino stepped up quickly to meet Hexa. After being in front of the man, he pushed Hexa's shoulder to leave immediately. But just as the stone was being persuaded to be thrown, Hexah did not step at all.

Alpino tastes almost crazy. His alignment dissipated in every second that clang in his ears and head that throbbed painfully.

”But what I said was the facts, Hexa. Lo who ruined everything. Nalisa came to me and made clear what she saw with her own eyes. You want to argue that Nalisa lied to me? Lying to other kids?” His voice trembled, this time he couldn't stand it anymore.

”Nalisa is not that small. He will not lie about what never happened. Lo who has broken the relationship with Nalisa Hala. Lo also has broken the relationship of Bang Sinar Sama Hala. Keep saying now that you don't do any damage? Bullshit, Hex. You're not better off with me. You are like this, worse than trash, stupid!”

”Oh? Now you're angry with me? You don't know what I'm feeling, Al! You do not know in my position and you judge only from one direction doang. You think it's the same as Nalisa, huh? What if what he said was just a boon? What if she makes up something so we can fight like this? WHAT IF HE JUST WANTS US TO RUN—”

BUAGHS!

”DIEM DOG!!”

Alpino who was already at the point of palling was not sane himself could not help but hit Hexa right in the stomach. His friend bounced back. Falling down directly by sitting down and holding his stomach. His gaze was nimble, even a drop of tears came out along with a bloodstain from the corner of his lips.

Alpino. He's too detached. He weighed down all his fears for Nalisa's safety and released her in one blow to another. To Hexa who had already lured her emotions out.

”Hex.” He breathed a sigh of anger. It feels like everything is very messy.

Alpino. Hard and full of pain and pent-up stress.

”LO! DON'T BE FISHING ME! It shouldn't be gini! We're supposed to talk to each other to finish everything well! WHY ARE YOU FUCKING FUCKING ME! WHY NOW! GET RID OF HEXA ENYAH LO TAI! I'M SCARED HERE! I'M AGAIN TERRIFIED HEXA! AAARGHHHH!!!!” Pulling his hair, Alpino felt himself exploding with emotions that were no longer held back.

Hexa in front of him. But he doesn't care. Now when he has exploded, and the thing in his head is to let go of everything. No matter who was in front of him, no matter who he was now beating and kicking it all out.

Hexa's there, luring all her emotions out and she can't resist making that guy, damn, her best friend into all his emotions.

”Al.. UHUK! S-stops.. AL!!” Hexa grimacing. His body moved to ask for an end to the brutal blow done by the dark-eyed Alpino.

”WHY ARE YOU COMING NOW BASTARD! WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME CRAZY? IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT? I'M STRESSED? DON'T MAKE ME A BAD GUY BECAUSE YOU STARTED! WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO WHEN I TALK? WHY HEKSA?!!!”

Alpino knows what he's doing isn't right. The man knew he had to stop. But his gaze became blurry, his ears were flooded by the murky water. He can't hear anything. There was a painful ringing sound, it felt like everything around him was making him cramped.

Alpino has never been like this. He was never the one to vent anger with a fist and a kick. He always calms down, clears his head and acts more fair and mature.

Now everything's broken. Alpino who has pressed the red button is dangerous in her.

Alpino had no idea since when his brutality had been snapped by two hotel security officers. He shouted, kicking into the air while both of his hands were held back by the powerful body of the officer.

”Stop you guys! Stop the showdown!!” Another security guard came to stop. Alpino took as many breaths as he could.

”What are you doing here?? Make property damage and do reprehensible deeds that violate the code of ethics of this place. You can get punished if you do not immediately stop this unworthy act!!” The other cry was closer to his ear. It was the security guard who detained her.

Surprised when all his consciousness re-emerged, his eyes rounded large. He could barely recognize how the shocked Hexa was injured in front of him. His best friend was held in a barricade by two smaller security officers. Now, there's more blood coming from his nose.

”H-Hex.” He whispered. Guilt is invoking.

”Heks. sorry. Shit, sorry Hexa. I.. I..” Alpino could not continue his words. Horror was painted from his expression reflected in the eyes of the widened Hexa.

Heksa opened his mouth that was destroyed by his actions as if he wanted to explain something. Alpino felt a guilty throb. What should he do to apologize to the man?

Maddened. Alpino's gone completely crazy like he's been possessed by something.

”Hey you! Can you explain what's in there? Who put that down??” there was a question floating in his ear. He could not hear clearly when what he was focusing on was the Hexa that had been strained in the wound.

”N..Na..” Hexa voice stamped. His eyes are growing. Alpino was trying to understand what his best friend was trying to say.

”Sa... Sa.. I .. i.”

”Na.. NALISA! AL! NALISA!!”

Like a lightning strike in broad daylight. Alpino's heart slipped as Heksa shouted loudly and slurred.

He knows what it is. He knows what's going on. He also knew that he had never turned around this fast in his life. There, when he looked up, Nalisa's body was completely carried away by the wind.

”NALISA!!!!!!!”

Alpino roared as he realized something. Nalisa's body didn't fall to the point they had calculated. Alpino could barely move as he stared with horror that in less than a few seconds, Nalisa's body would hit the side of the Air Cushion and the woman would be slammed directly into the ground.

It was like being in a puddle when he rebelled in the custody of both the big hands of the security guards. With her loud screams and her rebellious body of shock and horror, she ran. Alpino was limping, when he fell, his body was still in the pursuit reflex mode. He didn't care now that he was crawling, he didn't care how he was doing.

His main focus is to save Nalisa.

”LISA! NALISA! LORDY!! NALISAAAAAA!!!!!!!”

Alpino does not know if the human eye can widen more than the size of his skull. But to be sure, he could feel both of his eyes coming out of the cavity when he saw that Nalisa's body had already hit the side of the Air Cushion. He has to arrest Nalisa or else Natisa's safety could be questioned.

But Alpino's distance and Nalisa's position is very far. It feels too far. Alpino's organs felt dead when he saw in the slow-motion movement how the body of the woman he loved was bounced far away and hit the trunk of a large tree far from the position the damn Air Cushion was in.

”LISA!!!”

Alpino roars in his inability to save Nalisa.

He can't.

But when a large hand grabbed Nalisa's body before it touched the ground, Alpino felt his entire life being uprooted that very second. He fell down with both hands retracing first before it was all dark.

Alpino fainted in tremendous shock.

...........

Nalisa gasped awake with a gasp of breath. His face was sweating coldly like someone was pouring ice water on his head. His sight is still blurred. The atmosphere around him was quiet, silent. It feels like his chest is too tight. Even for breathing alone, Lisa felt pinched.

He rubbed his two eyes that had been flooded with his dripping sweat, trying to get a clearer vision. The last time he remembered how his life seemed to be displayed before his eyes when he saw that he had fallen at a point that was not where he should have been.

”Gue.. I'm not dead yet. right?” The whisper was soft with a stinging sound like it had not been used for days.

His hand felt his entire body now wrapped in the clothes of a hospital patient he did not recognize. Relief rippled throughout the body. He's still alive. He was still breathing and nothing less.

Not less than one...

Nalisa tried to move when she heard voices outside the door where she was resting. He wants to call someone. He felt thirsty as if he had not been drinking for months. But something is. It was very painful like being hit by a hard object and after that, there was a throbbing feeling that disappeared into a temporary numbness.

Lisa silent. His eyes glanced fearfully at the rest of his body.

His leg..

”K-my feet..”
