Not the First
Bring Me

Adzan magrib. After performing the prayer, Wibie immediately left his house. After making sure no one saw his whereabouts, he and Rey got into his car immediately.

"Ah, just like a thief," whispered Wibie inwardly.

Rey is in the back seat. Wibie hastily started the car engine. The already deserted mess situation is very favorable for both. They can leave the place without having to cross paths with other residents.

The white Fort Ranger driven by Wibie leaves Rey's hometown for the town of Lubuk Linggau. Wibie will take Rey to a hotel far from the city so that her whereabouts are unknown to any known person.

It took about two hours for them to reach the place referred to as the vehicle rate of 60-70 km/h. In addition to the condition of the streets are a lot of holes, lighting conditions are also less likely.

"I'm sorry, sir. I have troubled father. I've been involving my father in my personal matters" Rey opened the conversation after a long time between the two of them silence in each other's minds.

Wibie kept his gaze forward. No sound came out of his mouth. The reaction also looks flat.

"I feel ashamed. But only the father can help me for now. Forgive me," Rey once again said in a tone so full of regret.

"Honestly, Rey, my whole life just this time I've been acting like a criminal. You really made me hang," Wibie replied in such a heavy tone.

Wibie sees Rey from the rearview mirror. The girl who was still wearing the school uniform just silently bowed. No sound came out of his thin lips.

Wibie becomes so sorry to see Rey so guilty in this situation. Although he had only known this girl, he felt like protecting this girl from the behavior of her mother and lover which made him so depressed.

Wibie took a breath and released it slowly.

"Kasian," murmured

The grieved manner of death when Rey came to him to take him away was powerless to resist. From then on, Wibie will be a protector for the girl and will do anything to make her free from the life that so holds her back.

"That's it. Don't think about it anymore. Our decision has been made. You also have to pay a lot for everything. After this, you should help me too. You have to promise!" Wibie said in such a calm tone.

He again saw the girl's reaction through his rearview mirror. Rey was still a little downcast with a face so full of regret.

"Good sir. If I have to pay for everything in the near future I can't. Do I need time to replace everything you gave me? I have to work first to raise money" Rey tried to speak even though she was not sure what she said.

"I haven't spoken yet what should you replace? Why are you thinking about money. You're this!" Wibie is still in such a calm tone.

"What do you mean. What do I have to pay for it?" asked Rey in a curious tone.

"Easy . We'll talk later,"

"Good sir,"

"Importantly, we have to leave this city first. We eat in the suburbs. You can still hold your hunger, right?" ask Wibie

"Could sir. I'm not hungry yet,"

Silent......

From Wibie's rearview sees Rey starting to relax her body. He leaned his head on the seat and slightly straightened his body by sliding his legs forward.

It seems like he's getting sleepy. Wibie just watched from the glass, he would not comment on that. He prefers to occasionally glance at the girl he rushed until finally Rey began to fall asleep and rest his head on the car door.

Wibie smiled at Rey's behavior.

"How could the girl have fallen asleep while she was in the car alone with a man she did not know? Especially now that they are in an escape situation. What a strange girl. Is that how trusting he is in me? What if I commit a crime against him? How brave this kid is!" Various questions filled with puzzles enveloped Wibie's mind.

"So hard is your life, Rey?

Until there's no fear in you to go down a path you've never been through alone?"

Wibie was only able to take a deep breath. And release slowly.

Rey fell asleep with her breath. Wibie could not wake her. Some restaurants he could finally pass even though his stomach was already asking for his right to be filled. Wibie overcame her intense hunger by sipping the mineral water that was always available in her car. Until entering the city of Lubuk Linggau Ray remained unmoved from his position.

Wibie parked his car in one of the shopping centers on the side of the road. In front of the restaurant he used to visit. The clock shows at 20.10 wib, no wonder if the state of the restaurant is still crowded with visitors who want to enjoy dinner with family and groups of passengers bus inter-city.

"Rey, wake. We've arrived" Wibie, who's still behind the wheel.

There was no reply from behind, although Wibie repeated the same sentence several times.

Feeling no response, he turned his body around and swayed slowly the girl's snoring.

"Rey. Wakes up. We've arrived" he repeated.

There was no response. Although the shock was getting stronger, Rey still did not budge in the slightest.

"duh. It's hard, yeah. It was basically hard to wake up or because of tired of this boy," grumbled Wibie who was getting upset.

Wibie got out of the car. He immediately opened the back door where Rey was fast asleep. Although the door was leaning open and her head was about to fall, the girl's eyes were closed. Wibie restrains Rey's head so she doesn't fall over with her body. Rey's head fell right on Wibie's flat stomach. Pushed Rey's nose with a little hard until Rey was shocked and self-conscious

"Yes sir," Rey was shocked and stammered. With a face that held in shame he ventured to look at Wibie's face.

"We have arrived. Let's eat. Chivy. I'm hungry," Wibie asked

Rey immediately restyled her body that was almost scattered in Wibie's body. Fixing her hair tie that had been released and getting off the car that made her fall asleep fast.

He immediately followed Wibie who had stepped first to leave him. Enter the restaurant in front of them. Right where Wibie's car was parked.
