JERRY LE CHASSEUR (THE HUNTER)
Chapter 8

2 Years I live in Surabaya, I live in a fairly luxurious apartment. Apartment next to a shopping center in West Surabaya. I've not done my old job, all this time I just live off interest deposits are more than enough. My only chattermate is uncle Hector, who last year came to Surabaya to introduce his wife and stepson to me. I shut myself off from the company. My only activities are fitness, eating and sleeping.

That afternoon after buying clothes, I hung out to eat at the food court that was packed on Sunday night. I sat alone waiting for the food I ordered. There are 2 girls looking for a table. "Mas, isn't there anyone?" he said with java dialect to me who was busy fiddling with mobile phones. I looked at the two of them coldly.

"There's no mbak!" I answered while continuing to play my phone. My groceries I had put on the table, I moved the chair next to me. They both looked at my hands full of tattoos. They whispered while staring at the tattoo on my hand. The two of them were still whispering while laughing. That makes me uncomfortable. "Is something funny?" ask me while pocketing my phone and looking them both in the eyes. "No mas, the tattoo is cool make it in Bali huh?" answer the Chinese girl.

"His ex-girlfriend wants a tattoo exactly like a mas tattoo, but it's not so!" Tell the other girl.

"His made in Nyoman Tattoo right?" sahut the Chinese girl again. I nodded my head. "Know me Ike, mas!" the girl said again, extending her hand.

"Jerry!" I answered while shaking his hand.

"I'm Tasya, mas!" said the other girl. I haven't even shook Tasya's hand.

The hard impact surprised me.

"IKE!!!" Snapped the Chinese man behind me with 4 of his friends.

"Who is he, huh? So this rat that makes you always refuse to see me?"

Automatically the commotion made the eyes of the people around my desk fixed on us.

The food I ordered finally arrived.

"Rice!! Move loe there! Brakk!!!" Snapped the man again while pounding my desk.

I looked into his narrowed eyes that were glaring at me with a look full of anger.

"THIS IS MY DESK! IF I DON'T WANT TO MOVE, WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" Answer me while standing. Fortunately before the jotos, Security Mall came and drove the 5 people.

"Sorry, Jerry!" said Ike while cupping his hands together.

"Former you're angry don't see the place, Ke!" sahut Tasya Garrumphed.

"Not to be discussed, I ate first!" I said while bribing my food.

Ike and Tasya nodded their heads. Both orders came. Ike was seen eating lazily. After I finished eating, I paid my respects to both of them. I walked home to my apartment located 3 floors above the food court. I smiled knowing that the 5 people were following me. It turned out that it wasn't the 5 people who were following me. Ike and Tasya were seen running towards me. I turned around and lunged at the 5 after throwing my bag on the floor. The man who snapped at me immediately reacted to fly up against me. I dodged his kick by squeezing it against his body while slanting my elbow at his face. "Bwl!" My elbow hit him in the face hard. He staggered back I added my swivel kick right up to him. "Daaack!" 2 Friends helped the man to stand up, 2 other friends launched their attacks on me. I dodged their blows while subduing my body and tilting my body. 2 My uppercut hit him in the jaw. The man collapsed with a broken lip. The other man immediately collapsed while sitting down when my punch went into his veins. When I was about to torture him again, Ike and Tasya had already come with 2 Security Mall people.

"Those looking for me because of sir, from the food court to chasing me here!" I said while picking up my grocery bag.

"Are you okay, mom?" ask Ike.

"So. I'm fine" I replied with a smile.

"Street out of the mall not through here, mas!" sahut Tasya's.

"Who wants to come out?My apartment is above no. 2044!"

"We're neighbors donk, 2080 my apartment mas!" answer Ike.

...****************...

While I was cooldown on a stationary bike, Ike patted me on the back.

"Would you like it done, mom?"

"Tasya is still molting at this hour, mas!"

"I went there first, Ke!" I said while heading to the bench press machine. After 4 reps, I took a break while sitting down and pedaling a stationary bike. I saw Ike was practicing on his own by lifting dumbbells. I glanced at Ike's well-heeled body while lifting dumbbells resting on the bench while bowing his back. The longer I stared at the body, my other muscles felt stiff.

"You're going back?" ask when I walk past it.

"Temenin I opo'o mas, I want to use the tool still do not understand what the use is," he continued again.

"What shape do you want, Ke?" My toot.

"Bada equal ass, mas!" whispered slowly.

"Bada shirt pack this, this is called Bench press. 2-3 repetitions first. Klo for muscle butt pack treadmill can, static bike or leg press can also."

Month after month, Ike and Tasya became friends and new neighbors.

"Tok ! Geck! Geck!" the sound of my door being knocked that morning.

I opened the door of my room, Ike who as usual brought food for me went straight in.

"Jerry, what a mess your room is!" he said while picking up a t-shirt and towel on the chair at the dining table.

"It's pastels, good for breakfast!" he continued while offering a dish of snacks to me who was curled up on the sofa.

"It's still 07:00, why are you bothering me anyway, Ke?" I said with my eyes closed.

"Forgotted huh? He said he wanted to come to Bali, have you cleaned up?"

"Males!" I answered while covering the blanket to my head.

"No, you like that. I bought you a ticket, Jerry!"

"Let's go later in the afternoon, why did you wake me up so early, Ike!"

"Hihihi, I love to see you nagging early in the morning. I'm back first!" he said while coming out of the room.

As soon as Ike came out of the room, I took out my toolbox. I stripped my gun and wrapped it in a special coating. When I'm done, I put my tools in the toolbox. I continued sleeping again.

"Jerry! Jerry's! Geck! Geck!" Tasya's shrill voice shouted from outside the room.

I opened the door lazily.

"Ihhhh, put on some cake pants, bang! Boxeran doank period!" tasya said while closing his face.

"One of you is coming in at this hour, the hour I want to take a shower!" I answered while wearing a towel to cover my Boxer.

"Cool your tattoo, don't wear clothes first!" sahut Ike who suddenly appeared from behind Tasya.

Ike stared at my burly body without blinking while smiling.

"Gue take a shower, Ke! And don't touch my stuff yeah!"
