Oh, Love?
That man

Tonight was so quiet, there was not a single vehicle that passed by. Only a speck of heavy rain sounded noisy, hurriedly falling to the ground. The wind was blowing more and more, hit everything he passed, no exception Jane's hair that was hit became irregular in a hurry he tied the hair that decomposed, occasionally he rubbed his arms, he was in a hurry, the cold made him shiver violently. Now at 00:00 a.m., he's waiting at the bus stop. As a result of being busy in the campus library making it home too late, he was busy looking for references to his script material. Now at this hour and the weather is as bad as this it feels like there will be no vehicles driving.

He was busy pressing his phone screen, too bad tonight's signal is also bad. She couldn't tell her mother that tonight she was going home late because of the rain, she took out an umbrella from her bag, opened it slowly. He decided to leave the stop and walk towards his house, through the heavy rain tonight. She quickened her pace, her feet stepping on the puddle of water making her skirt splash with water. 

Along the way never once seen people also every house closed tightly, completely silent. He stopped his steps, just a few steps near him looked a bunch of men who were sitting on the terrace of an empty house. At first she thought about asking them for help, at least taking her home. But he broke his intention. A woman passed by herself in the middle of the night, in bad weather and deserted atmosphere. This condition is bad for him, unwanted things can happen. Being vigilant for safety is much better, he thought.

It seems that they are not good men, obviously they are beating someone. His heart was racing, he was really scared. He froze behind a big tree, he did not dare to pass through the group of men, let alone help the beaten man. But conditions quickly turned around, the man who initially looked defeated was now superior. The man counter-attacked and the group that had initially attacked hurriedly fled. It was a little astonishing how he could single-handedly be able to reverse the situation.

The sky suddenly brightened, the rain stopped falling. He wanted to quickly get away from the place but the superior man was still there standing by rubbing his blood-splitting lips then he put on his mask and covered himself with the hood of his jacket. Jane shuddered in fear, clinging to the tree hoping she wouldn't be found.

"When are you hiding?"

The man's words surprised him, also making his heart beat faster. He looked up, hoping that the person in question was not himself.

"You're not good at hiding. If you don't come out I'll come over and beat you up straight away" he threatened.

Jane didn't dare move. What would the man do if he showed up? He can't imagine. His mind became stifled, he should have carried a sharp weapon to protect himself. 

"I don't like to repeat" The man pulled Jane's arm making the umbrella on his handle fall off. Jane turned her back, not realizing that the man was near her. 

Jane was cornered, she looked up at the man higher than her who also gave a sharp look as if ready to pounce. His grip was so strong on his arm.

"wu!!" she was afraid, she intended to say something but even if the defense sentence did not come out "it-"

"A woman?" said the man was astonished, it seemed he did not think that people were hiding a woman especially late at night.

"Who told you to?" he asked, his left hand ready to choke Jane's neck. 

Jane tried to appear calm, then ventured she said "I'm not part of the people who want to attack you. I'm just a passerby who happened to be accidentally caught in this unexpected situation" she sounded cautious.

The man watched her closely, after making sure that the woman was harmless she seemed to reduce her vigilance, it was visible from her loosening grip as well as her gaze that was not as sharp as before.

"Where are you going?" tanyakanya.

Jane was relieved to see that the man was calm and did not consider himself an enemy, and it seemed that he would not hurt her. The man's stature was somewhat sinister with his large, stocky body, and height. His face is not clear because it is covered with a mask, he also uses a hat with a double hood of his jacket. Then he replied "Clearly go home".

"Bring me with you" 

"uh?" jane had heard wrong.

"Don't look at me like that. You just need to get back to your house" he ordered.

The man suddenly fell right on his shoulders. Instantly Jane panics "Hey?! Don't Die. I don't want to get into trouble" he said while staring at the confusion.

"I'm still alive. So take me with you" Her voice whispered, apparently the man was exhausted. 

At first Jane thought it was better to leave the scary man behind, but when she looked him in the eye she became compassionate. He undoes his intention of leaving the man behind, after all he still has a little bit of a side to humanity.

"Can you walk?!" tanyakanya. 

"I find it difficult. So papah I get to your house" he told me. 

"No. I am a woman smaller than you. He's 160 and you seem bigger than me" Jane refused. 

"You know I'm hurt, you're probably gonna die and you're the first person you're probably gonna suspect" Damn it, Jane tried to refrain from getting angry or nagging, in this condition, the man still threatened him. An impolite man, at will, instructs like a king. After considering many things. Jane decided to take him along, actually she wasn't happy to leave him. After that, he continued walking by holding the man towards his house. Being a bad person is a big deal. 

"It's so heavy!!" Mumbled. 

The man looked at Jane who was looking at him. A moment later he broke the silence "What's your name?!" 

Jane turned her head slowly, after she looked straight back at the road, she replied "Jane Austyn" 

His surprise was seen from his gaze. Then he didn't ask anything more. Now it's Jane's turn to wonder about the man. 

"So what about you? Mm, I mean your name?" he hesitated a little. 

The man's breath felt so close to his ear "Call me Ed" 

"Ah, Ed? yeah I think that's a good name" Jane continued awkwardly. 

Then the man's eyebrows shot up, it felt like from behind the mask he smirked "you know too well and believe easily, can make a problem that is difficult to overcome"

Jane knows what that means, she questions her easy self to trust the man she just met. No, actually he doesn't know why he chose to help the man. Perhaps because of his inability to resist. Jane fixed Ed's position and continued walking, then she said "Yes I know, just being more evil or selfish the hardest thing I do"

The mood became quiet. Jane came back with her thoughts. All right what if he's not a good guy? what if he's a fugitive who ran away? "Hey, what's the guarantee that you won't hurt me?" Yes, he needs certainty of his safety. 

The man did not answer, Jane looked at the man apparently he was asleep. Lucky she's at her house "Hoy!!" Jane squealed a little, trying to wake him up. However, he did not wake up, as if he had fainted. 

Jane took a deep breath "Alright, let's put aside the negative thoughts about her" Jane hoped that what she did this time was not a mistake.
