He's Not A Bad Boy
Chapter 4 - The Sound of the Door Knock

Earlier that afternoon, Boy was meeting with Black Wings gang members on the second floor of his father's cafe.

"Ifan, have you put our spies in Brandalz's gang?" ask Boy.

"Already, Boss. They're really getting crazy now. Not only stealing, they are even getting more violent by blocking motorcyclists who pass through their areas of power blatantly," said Ifan.

"Why do they like to steal? Isn't their gang leader a rich man too?" ask one of the gang members.

"He's rich, but from what I've heard, ever since Anton quit school and went to jail, his dad pulled all his credit cards, and never again give money to Anton in the hope that the boy quit the motorcycle gang and back to being good, but the brandal basis, instead of changing, he even more so," explained Ifan.

"Then what was the reason they attacked our boss that night?"

"It's definitely because of losing the bet" Boy replied as he looked out the window and accidentally saw someone.

"Their group is not as much as us, so when it will attack they will wait for the opportunity when we are alone and careless" said Ifan.

"So, just in case, from now on ...." Ifan's speech is interrupted when he sees Boy walking quickly leaving them.

"Where's the boss going?" ask Ifan.

"To the ground floor for a moment, you just continue your meeting, I'll be back in a moment" said the man then lost behind the stairs.

"Young master, I have conveyed what you told the job applicant girl earlier," said Andi, the cafe manager who now stands in front of Boy.

"Good, take care of him and guide him well, lest he get scuffed or you'll also make abrasions," threaten the young man then immediately go back towards the second floor while whistling happily. Andi could only shake his head slowly at the haughty behavior of the child of his big boss.

"Geez, that kid, if he wasn't my boss's kid, I would've had his head cut off," monologue Andi while cleaning the table where the young master was quite messy made even though he was only 10 minutes there.

"Do you want to pinch my head?"

Andi's eyes instantly puffed up when she heard the voice behind her. Quickly he turned around. Apparently the young master who had a higher and stout posture had now stood behind him complete with a sharp gaze.

"I-I mean earlier, I-I want to snap my son's head, young master," replied Andi stuttering with a face that began to turn pale.

"It looks like you think I'm a plain kid who doesn't know anything.I just intend to take my matches, but I've heard your rant." The man continued to walk closer to Andi who was now getting bowed. "But this time I'll forgive you, you're lucky because my mood is good."

After picking up his match, Boy walked back to the second floor where his gang had a meeting.

"How was your meeting?" boy asked as he landed his ass in the chair.

"Look, boss, we've agreed to take care of you remotely, at least until your wounds have completely recovered, and to communicate with each other, we'll use earpieces that are always on, at least, so we can intervene immediately if there's an emergency."

Ifan explained the results of the meeting they agreed with so much detail, at first Boy slightly objected if it should always be followed for a few days, but after hearing the revenge of Ifan, the man began to understand.

***

As expected, the girl he had known his name through Ifan had now actually come to work at the cafe of his father. It felt like he approached the girl who had disturbed his mind, but he realized, his appearance that looked like a thug could make the girl afraid, until finally he decided to look from a distance.

For several hours, Boy never diverted his attention from the girl, he would smile when he saw the girl smile at his customers.

"Duh, this is the heart why else? Did I have a heart attack at a young age? No-no, I don't want to die yet, I want to marry him first" Boy monologue as he palpated his chest.

Unknowingly, some employees laughed at the behavior of their young master who they thought had just first felt in love.

"Why laugh? Want me to fire you?" mencam Boy with a sharp look when he realized it, making the employees immediately disperse. Like two different characters in one body, it can look so caring and so scary at about the same time.

The day was getting late, the cafe employees had gone home one by one. No exception Khaira who is now walking to his motorcycle in the parking lot. Boy secretly also immediately rode his motorbike parked in a special place, not forgetting he wore a black hat and black mask to cover his identity.

The man started running his bike just moments after Khaira passed away. However, just as Boy was about to get out of the cafe courtyard, suddenly a large motorbike drove by quickly right in front of him.

"Anton's?" muttered Boy who recognized who the owner of the motor was.

Khaira's curiosity now grows with Anton's vigilance. Boy starts to drive his bike away from the cafe while looking around if Anton's men back to surround him, but the man's guess is wrong. Anton moves on his own, he is not even aware of Boy's whereabouts behind him.

It feels like Boy is taking revenge for what Anton has recently done to him, but he immediately paused because his intention to keep Khaira this time is so strong.

Until a few minutes passed, Boy began to feel strange because along the way Anton still in the same lane with him and Khaira, even when Khaira turned to the gate of housing where he lived, Anton also turned. The man was surprised to see Anton stop the bike just as Khaira had entered the fence.

What's the matter? Did he follow Khaira too? Is he also curious about that girl just like me?

Question after question flashed through Boy's mind like a train. But considering Anton's gang is a gang that does like to disturb girls, making Boy now feel worried about Khaira's safety.

***

Khaira closed the curtain immediately because she was so shocked. Being at home alone and finding himself being stalked by strangers certainly makes the girl a little afraid. The girl's fear grew when she heard a knock on the door in front of her house.

"Who wants to see you at this hour?" lirih Khaira then walked quickly to peek carefully. Sure enough, the person standing in front of his house right now was the one who had been following him since.

Tok tok tok tok

Again the sound of knocking on the door the umpteenth time was heard, the longer the stronger it sounded. Making the atmosphere around Khaira now feels tense, not to mention his heart that is pounding no muddle until cold sweat that begins to wet his temple.

"Khaira!"

Khaira was shocked when she heard the call of a woman out there. His mind was increasingly overwhelmed with curiosity and fear simultaneously. As he remembered, the person who had been following him until he knocked on his house was a man, then who exactly was out there now?

Khaira curled up behind the door to calm down. Although he was curious, he decided to no longer peek at it let alone open it. However, after a few minutes later, there were no more voices, either female or male. Even the sound of knocking on the door is no more.
