Denis almost fell asleep when he heard a voice in the room that was a stranger. He got up from the couch where he lay. A blanket he had warmed up to fell on the floor.
He immediately opened the door. The man is seen sitting on the side of the bed, kneeling his forehead. His eyes closed tightly. He might be trying to collect his life that had been scattered and almost disappeared.
Denis approached him cautiously. He stood a bit away from the man's reach and watched him in silence. Waiting without making a sound.
The man squinted his eyes. I realized that someone else was watching him in the room.
"Who are you? Where am I?" The man asked while grimacing. His voice was slow and withstood the pain.
"Drink first." Denis did not answer the man's question. He moved his head to point at the glass of drinking water that was already available on the small table next to the bed. The man glanced at the glass that Denis pointed at. He took. Gulp the contents in one gulp until it runs out.
He shook his head trying to throw away the dizziness that was afflicting him. His body felt helpless. He looked back at Denis with his eyes widening.
"Are you the one who helped me? Or are you a member of that criminal?" his gaze turned into a watchful gaze. His eagle eyes looked sharply at Denis. The bruising on his face obscured his good looks. His body is high. He should not lose just like that during a fight if only his opponent did not cheat by drugging him.
"I'm helping you from the abyss" Denis said before the man misunderstood. Her gaze that was no less cold returned the man's gaze.
"From the abyss?" the man was surprised.
"They threw you into the abyss. I just happened to pass by there and help you right away."
The man closed his eyes. Restoring her hair while looking up her face seemed to not believe the incident that happened to her.
He opened his eyes and looked at Denis.
"I'm Alex."
"Dennis."
There is no hand office like a person who is acquainted.
"You hungry?" denis asked shortly after the two fell silent. The man named Alex nodded.
"Follow me."
Denis came out of that room. Alex staggered slightly as he started to step up to Denis. His body still feels the influence of drugs given by criminals.
Denis took the man to the dining table. Get me a plate of rice and leftover side dishes for dinner last night. The man ate it greedily. He did not care about Denis sitting in front of him while continuing to pay attention to him.
"Where are you from?" Denis asked back.
"Jakarta.." the man replied. "Which area is this?" tanyanya.
"Silvia."
"What's? You're not kidding, are you?" Alex was surprised again. It's very far from where he came from. Denis just smiled.
Alex finished his meal. He looks very hungry. I don't know when he hasn't eaten. Denis is waiting. Alex looked at her. Tracing every place around it. Then I looked back at Denis.
"Thanks, man. You saved my life. I will definitely repay all your kindness."
"We didn't find your identity, so we couldn't contact your family."
"We?"
"Yes. Everyone in this house. I'm not alone in helping you."
Alex sneered softly at the meeting of his two eyebrows. It seems like the influence of the drug has not completely disappeared.
"Sleep. You need a break." Denis saw the wall clock. Eleven o'clock at night. She also felt very sleepy. His eyes felt perit.
The man followed Denis' words. He went back to the room where he first woke up. Re-spread his body. Trying to forget for a moment what he was going through. Denis's right. He needs rest. He must recover his stamina. He doesn't know what's going to happen tomorrow. Now he was quite calm because he was in a safe place. Alex closed his eyes and soon he was asleep.
Outside the room Denis returned to lay his body on the sofa. The cold air forced him to pull the blanket and close it to his body. His eyes were still open for a while. Look at the closed door. The longer his eyelids feel heavier. He fell asleep not long after.
****
It was still dark, but Denis was awake. The noise in the kitchen indicates there is activity there. Denis folded the blanket. Take her to the room currently inhabited by a man named Alex. The man is still asleep. Denis took the shirt from the closet in the corner of the room. Take him out and go straight to the bathroom near the kitchen.
A middle-aged woman was cutting vegetables there.
"You have woken up. Why sleep outside?" answer to Denis.
"Auntie when is coming?" Denis asked back.
"So before dawn."
Not asking anymore, Denis went straight into the bathroom. Cleaned his body for a while. Come out with the changed clothes. The style is still the same. Belle jeans and t-shirts wrapped in jeans jackets that are not bagged. He ruffled his wet hair. It looks so fresh in the morning that it is still sullen. He then sat down at the dinner table. Bi Nani placed a cup of coffee that still reflected the smoke in front of him.
Lukman came out of his room with sleepy eyes. Denis just glanced at him while sipping his coffee.
"Where is that guy? You realize?" ask Denis. He pulled a chair across from Denis.
"Had it." she answered briefly. A man of bi Nani's age came over carrying two cups of coffee. One he put in front of Lukman and another for himself. He is Mang Jana. Bi Nani's husband. He works anything in this house. Everything he can do. The gardener, the electrician, became a private driver. Anything. It works very flexible. Depending need. He has worked in Theo bang family for a long time. With his wife, he served sincerely in this family. He and his wife were already confidants of bang Theo. They are considered as family.
Bang Theo joined shortly thereafter. Ms. Fani appears to have entered her car and is preparing to go to the clinic. It's too early for some people. But not for the residents of this house.
Bi Nani prepared breakfast at the main house. Wake Sisil up in his room. Then prepare breakfast for the people in the back house.
Alex got out of the room and joined everyone there. She tidied up her messy hair using her fingers. Bi Nani brews him coffee and serves him in front of him with a questionable look. He just thought that maybe the guy was his guest bang Theo.
Bang Theo extended his hand at the man while introducing his name.
"Theo."
"Alex."
"That's Lukman. It's Denis." bang Theo introduced everyone to the man. Including bi Nani and mang Jana. Alex stared at everyone who Theo bang introduced him to. His deep gaze was shaded by a pair of thick eyebrows.
"Who are those who have harmed you?" Ask bang Theo curious.
"I don't know." Alex shook his head.
"What's your plan now?"
"May I stay here for a few days? I don't know yet who has harmed me. And I have to find out." Alex stared at Theo bang expectantly. Bang Theo looked at Denis and Lukman alternately as if asking the opinions of the two men. Denis and Lukman looked at each other. They handed the decision to bang Theo. It seems bang Theo believes in that guy named Alex.
"All right." Bang Theo finally said. "But there is no other room. So in the meantime you're sharing a room with Denis."
Denis coughed at the words bang Theo. His eyes widened looking at the man.
"What's? Why aren't you in Lukman's room?"
"Lukman is Farid's room. You're okay with Alex's room. It's only been a minute. Aye right?"
Farid is the youngest son of Mang Jana and bi Nani. He often stayed there and often slept in Lukman's room. He likes to sleep with Lukman because they have the same hobbies which are playing guitar and playing games. Denis doesn't like noise. He prefers himself.
"I can sleep anywhere. I don't have a problem." Alex put his eyes on the people there. His gaze was fixed for a moment on Denis' face. He could see that Denis strongly objected to having to share a room with him.
"Just bang Theo." Denis said at last. He sipped his coffee again.
Bang Theo took his shirt to give to Alex. Their body posture is almost the same. Large height with wide chest and stocky shoulders. He estimated that Alex's shirt size was the same as his shirt size.
"Nothing bang. Thank ye. Your kindness I will always remember."
"Sister Denis!! Come on!!" a beautiful girl in a blue white uniform calls out to Denis. Almost everyone turned their attention to the girl. Sisil smiled spoiled with his narrowed eyes seeing everyone staring at him. He approached Theo bang and kissed the back of his hand. His eyes glanced at Alex as he let go of his papa hand. But he didn't ask anything.
Denis rushes to his motorbike parked side by side with Theo bang car. Put on the helmet and turn on the bike. The beautiful girl with shoulder-length hair immediately went up behind Denis' body.
Denis held out a helmet to Sisil without turning his face.
"Pakein," Sisil did not receive the helmet.
"Pake it yourself." Denis held out the helmet. The girl pouted. His thin lips that were natural pink were adorable manyun. But Denis didn't see that because he didn't look back one bit.
"That's. Brother Denis." the girl grumbled as she took the helmet out of Denis' hand a little rough. Denis doesn't care about that. He plays his gas bike while waiting for Sisil to put his helmet on.
"Had." ketus the girl.
Denis runs his bike out of the house. Bang Theo who saw the behavior of his daughter just smiled amusedly.
Denis' motorbike was driven on a paved road. Swerving agilely interrupted by vehicles that crowded the streets in the morning. Busy everywhere. Everyone seems to be racing to arrive at their respective destinations immediately.
In front of the gate a busy SMP is increasingly noticeable. Male and female students mingled towards the school gates which were a few minutes away from being closed.
Two picket teachers standing on either side of the gate told their students to rush in.
"Sissles!!" the choir of Sisil's three friends greeted him boisterously. Denis took Sisil's helmet. He wanted to quickly walk away from that place. It's too bad to have to deal with those boys. He has memorized their behavior.
"Sister Denis!!" sure enough, they're turning to Denis now. Denis just glanced at those ABG kids. Then immediately turn the motor to go back into the highway. But fateful for him. As soon as he turned the motor, a matic motor was backing up behind him.
Brak! The front wheel of Denis' motor hit the matic motor. Although not too tight but due to the impact it makes the motorbike look good and the rider fell. Denis surprised. Screeches some people who saw the incident made the atmosphere become rowdy.
Sisil and his friends who were still there immediately approached Denis.
"Sister Denis!!" they scream together. Typical ABG child.
Denis got off the bike and immediately helped lift the collapsed matic motor on the asphalt. The driver girl looked grimacing. He tried to get up helped by some people who were there.
"So Denis is okay?" sisil asked while looking at Denis from head to toe.
"What no. Get in there late lo ntar." He kicked Sisil out.
Sisil obeyed Denis. He immediately invited three of his friends to go to class.
The girl who fell off the bike was sitting on the sidewalk. There was a scuff wound on his leg. Denis approached the girl.
"Do you need to go to the hospital?" tanyanya shows concern. The girl raised her face. His head nodded slowly.
"No need." His lips let out a hiss. Denis looked around the place. There is a minimarket not far from there.
"I bought plaster there. You wait here."
"No need. I just went home." The girl got up from her seat. Stepped a little limped towards his bike. Denis helped the girl turn on the engine.
"If there's anything, I'm at Diamond Motor" Denis said. The girl nodded and got on her bike. Throw her sweet smile at Denis and soon pass from there.
Denis looked at the girl just before she got on her own bike and drove away from the school.
He went straight to the workshop. Lukman just opened a rolling door. Another worker helped him. His name is Andi.
Andi lives with her family. His house is not so far from the shop. He graduated SMK last year and went straight to work at bang Theo's workshop. Bang Theo already knew him because the boy was carrying out Prakerin at Theo bang workshop when he was second grade SMK.
Bang Theo hasn't come yet. The car is not in the parking lot yet.
Denis went into a special room for the officers. Take out her work clothes and replace them in the toilet. He came out of the employee room along with the arrival of bang Theo irritated. He got out of the car. Someone followed. Alex.
Denis doesn't care about those two. He prefers to approach a customer who has just arrived.
Bang Theo who had just come with Alex went straight into his room. Alex followed behind him.
"This is my place of business. Small businesses," said bang Theo. Alex looked at her. He smiled thinly. Bang Theo sat in his great chair. Let Alex sit down in front of him.
"I'm so grateful. My brother helped me and trusted me."
"That's it. No need to discuss that. I'm willing to help people. And I believe, you're a good man." Bang Theo looked at the man in front of him. A young man who was estimated to be in his under thirties with a strong character. Bang Theo suspected this man was a rich man if he saw the branded clothes he used yesterday. Actually he wanted to ask a lot of things to the man in front of him. But he realized that he needed to respect that person's privacy. He'll find out little by little.
The knock on the door made the two look. Lukman stood there in his work uniform.
"There's a brother's friend in front."
"Who?"
"Bang Fandi."
Hearing Lukman mention the name bang Theo immediately got up from his chair and rushed out. Alex just followed Theo bang with his gaze. He would rather sit there.
"Fandy!" Bang Theo seemed pleased with the arrival of his friend. He immediately approached Fandi. Clasped his hand and shook it. His left hand patted Fandi's shoulder a little hard. Fandi grimacing.
"Where? Problem with your car?" he asked with a grin on his lips.
"No really. But I want your men to check the condition of my car as a whole. I want to go out of town again. I don't want to happen again like yesterday."
"Lo does have to routine service if you do not want the incident kayak kemaren. Anyway yes, if you go out of town then do not go alone. Especially the distance. Danger of driving yourself."
"Yes. I thought I remembered that yesterday. Haha.." Fandi laughed offingly. "Gue wants Denis to check my car. I believe in him."
Bang Theo looked towards Denis who was serving a customer.
"But you have to wait a minute. Denis is still doing the other thing right now."
"No problem. I live here the car. I'll take it again."
"Good then. What time do you take it?"
"Perhaps. I have other business first."
"okay."
Fandi then passed from the workshop. He left by using an ojeg that could not be far from the Bang Theo workshop, while his car was left in the workshop. He handed the car keys to Theo bang.
Bang Theo approached Denis who was still busy with a car.
"So this is how Fandi's car works" bang Theo said, handing over Fandi's car keys to Denis. Denis glanced at the car meant by bang Theo and nodded. The car keys he put in his pocket.
"okay."
Just short the answer.
Bang Theo was used to Denis's attitude. He has been very familiar with the character of his men this one. Since first knowing Denis, bang Theo can see that Denis is very quiet and closed people. I don't like to talk to anyone much. He just makes his voice as necessary. He severely limits his interaction with others. Especially with a creature called a woman.
Denis's sweet face, unique appearance, cold attitude that makes him look cool, does not forget to make the girls curious. Some blatantly tried to get close to Denis. But no one allowed Denis to approach him. He keeps himself untouched by anyone.
