Seducing Miss Introvert
IN THE HOT AFTERNOON

Anna had been traveling around town all day looking for work. But, applying for jobs without skills and diplomas, is so difficult to apply in a big city like this.

However, let alone a diploma. Anna's data card didn't dare show.

As the sun rose, the exhausted Anna decided to rest in a roadside stall. But, just as he had entered, cigarette smoke as well as the mostly male visitor made Anna undo the intention and turn away.

With gontai steps Anna walked alone on the side of the highway noisy by the sound of vehicles.

Every time she met a restaurant or shop, Anna would try her luck by asking about work. Unfortunately, there are no job openings on average. If there is any, it must be asked for a minimum High School graduation.

No matter how many times Anna insists that she graduates, if there is no diploma, then she cannot prove and cannot be accepted.

Anna came out of the umpteenth shop and let out a long sigh to drive away the despair. It looks around the crowded by traffic people with their respective busyness.

Suddenly Anna felt lonely. The loneliness of living in a foreign country alone was so pronounced, and almost made her tears melt.

However, immediately on the edge of that sentiment, then walk and sit on a park bench.

The shady trees kept Anna protected from the scorching day. He opened his backpack, then took a drinking bottle brought from the boarding house.

Yes, the boarding house. Anna hasn't lived and worked with Nisa since two days ago. Not like he used to be stuck in the street. Now Anna has the money, and little has memorized the name of the area and the road.

"I have to get a job right away before the money in savings runs out." Anna encouraged herself.

Suddenly her stomach rang, making Anna realize that she had not eaten anything since morning.

In the park of the city were many hawkers who peddled food. But, to save money Anna had brought her own fresh bread.

While looking around, Anna devourly ate the two loaves of bread she had brought. Truly just plain bread with nothing, and he ate with gratitude. Because Anna was once in a state of hunger with nothing to eat, except leftover food in the garbage can.

After he finished eating, he finished half the bottle of drinking water and put it back in the bag.

When she opened the bag, Anna saw a small red book and several other identity pieces that she made one and tucked into the inner side of the bag.

Anna retrieves the red book, which turns out to be a passport with the insignia of two tigers fighting each other. His country, his homeland, where his family is and all the memories he has left behind.

Lying if Anna doesn't want to go home. Even when he lived with Nisa he obtained, in certain nights, Anna's chest would be filled with homesickness. But he had no place to go home anymore.

Anna wiped away her tears that had involuntarily dripped, then stored the precious thing back into the backpack and shouldered it.

He had just risen, when a man in shiny black leather shoes stood before him.

Anna looked up and the two neutrals instantly rounded.

"I guessed it." Rico smiled thinly.

Anna's heart was racing.

"Delana." Rico's expression was suddenly icy cold.

Anna turned around to run away. But, Rico had first held his arm firmly.

Anna screeched, made around surprised and turned her head towards him.

"I'm sorry we're disturbing." Rico without taking off his grip, slightly bowed and showed a look of regret.

People around understand, because they think they are lovers who are fighting and immediately ignore.

Once the public believed her, Rico immediately pulled Anna who was still trying to escape into the corner of the narrow alley.

Rico who was sharp with his wide forehead did not show a response, except just looking.

"Release!" Anna yells.

Rico immediately smothered the girl's mouth and held one of her wrists against the wall.

Anna's heart was beating faster. Both of his eyes were already watering, and though he tried to fight back with his one free hand. But still unable to remove the defender Rico.

The man looked around, when in the sense all was still safe. He refocused on Anna who stared angrily at him.

"Why are you here?" rico's voice that he longed for, now feels as bitter as bile.

The alley that bordered the two shophouses looked dim, with many old newspapers scattered, which marked it as the bed of the homeless.

Anger and fear made Anna tremble and only her tears came out.

Rico's rapture hardened at such a hateful gaze.

"Don't yell, or we'll deal with the cops." Either inform or threaten. But, slowly Rico loosened his provisions, then took off.

Anna immediately threw away her face.

"Why do you know Kiandra Marthadinata?" Rico asked again.

Anna did not answer and instead was busy flailing Rico's arm, in order for the man to let go of his hand.

"You're his lover? or keep?" Rico jerked Anna's hand, making the girl close her eyes tightly to endure the pain.

"Delana, answer me!" Rico took off his grip and the switch covered both of Anna's cheeks, for the two of them to look at each other.

Sunlight that was once covered by clouds, now the light is getting brighter, until it is able to break into the alley.

Both Anna and Rico can now see each other clearly and at close range.

Anna didn't speak a single word. Only her tears flowed more and more staring at the man she loved, but also the cause of the destruction in her life.

"Delana." Rico traces the appearance of Anna wearing faded blue jeans and a loose top of an ash-coloured shirt, then returns their eyes clashing against each other.

"Your looks changed. But, you are Delana." Rico ensure.

As powerful as Anna revolted. However, Rico managed to hold him back.

"Let me go! I won't bother you, so don't disturb my life!" Anna screamed while hiding her face.

"You think I'll settle down with you around me?" Rico shakes both Anna's shoulders several times.

Anna moaned in pain over the rough treatment of the 180 cm tall man.

"My answer, why did you get in touch with Kiandra Marthadinata?" Rico slightly bowed and re-embraced Anna's cheeks so that she could see the girl's face.

"...I had nothing to do with her." After a moment of silence, Anna finally opened her mouth.

Rico's forehead is wrinkled. Anna's answer doesn't match the reality she knows.

"Liar!" he swore.
