SOS
Chapter 3
ALYX had just arrived at his apartment at about ten p.m., delivered by Nick. His body was so tired, after almost a month, it was only today that he started training again. Alyx's prediction was right, Nick won the fight before twelve rounds. His opponent did not KO, only he gave up, and made Chris laugh while Nick still wanted to fight.
When entering the elevator Alyx can only lean. Looks like he's gonna sleep well tonight.
“Alyx, good night,” greet Lovely who entered before the elevator door closed. “What's wrong with you, you look tired?”
“Just finished exercising. You just got off work?”
“No. It's been five, but I stopped by my sister-in-law's house. Ah, I left Kitty alone.”
“Michi also. But, I again opened the door.”
“I did it too. I think they're making out right now.”
“You're right, it looks like we'll soon be besan. Oh yeah, I'm taking Michi to the salon this Saturday. You want me to take Kitty too?” Alyx asked for approval.
“You want to bring it, of course I allow it.”
Ninth floor. Elevator door opens.
The door of the apartment is right in front of the elevator. He stepped open the door. “I won't take you in for tea, because you're so tired.”
“Yes, I think I want to go to bed soon. See you.” Not yet arrived at the door of her apartment, Alyx stopped and called out Beautiful.
The beautiful who had just entered, came out after hearing Alyx's scream. He looked in the direction Alyx was pointing. The beautiful view instantly became blurred due to tears. Kitty was lying on the doorstep of Alyx's apartment, her gaze piqued.
Alyx took a step first, checked Kitty's state, and turned to look Beautiful. “Sorry.”
Fifteen minutes later, the police arrived.
“You called us, because of this cat?”
“I don't think it's necessary to call them,” Indah says it in Indonesian.
“We called you because he died for sure because of someone.”
“Someone?”
“Check only. There was a puncture mark on his neck and it seemed to be because of heels.”
“Alright, we will browse this incident.”
The next day, there was no word from the police. Maybe this cat business is not important to them anymore.
“Michi...” Alyx and Michi are in the bedroom, “ when I'm not around, you don't leave this place. Youunderstand? Ah, I love you so much,” she said and hugged Michi tightly. “Michi,” Alyx sounds to be serious, “in your opinion, is the one who killed Kitty is the occupant of this apartment as well? Ah, don't ignore me, you know this is murder, right?”
Michi soon meows as Alyx feels unnoticed.
“What Kitty made that guy step on her with heels. You think it's this high?” Alyx tried to guess using his index finger and thumb placed in the air. “Only as high as five, it makes Kitty's neck stepped on. Never mind, obviously you have to be careful Michi, or I better not leave you at home alone.”
Michi meowed many times and turned around, as opposed to what Alyx had said.
“Ah, I know you're an adult,” Alyx smiled amusedly.
The following week, Alyx and Michi were able to go to the cat salon where they visited at least twice a month.
“We should have come with Kitty,” murmured Alyx.
“Happy Afternoon, what can I do for Michi?”
“Hi Norah,”sapa Alyx. “Michi needs extra care, he just lost his lover,” his info.
“True, what a pity. I'll give you extra-extra-extra.” treatment
“Ohiya, her nails seem very long, she scratched me yesterday,” Alyx smiled small.
“Ah, you're right,” Norah said when she saw it, “You want me to give her a cut?”
“No, Norah.” Alyx refused.
“Ah, well, it looks like Michi won't like it either.” Norah holds Michi and takes her in leaving Alyx in the waiting room.
While Michi was getting treatment, Alyx waited while reading the magazine. But, bored, she calls Nick.
“I'm busy,” Nick's sentence slid across the phone, half screaming.
Alyx looks at the smartphone screen. He hasn't even said a word. “Busy what? Busy with your coffee mug?”
Nick, who is on holiday, chose to stay in the apartment and enjoy a cup of coffee. Not forgetting with
a comic he has been fond of lately. He immediately threw the comic he was reading, how could the girl know what he was doing. “Enak. I'm not like you. I'm checking important documents.”
“Really? Then, bye...”
“Wait.. wait. What's wrong?”
“No. I just called because I was bored.”
“What? Next time don't call because of something like this. Ah, or you're calling not because you're bored, but because
misses me, doesn't it? If you miss me, come straight home. Bye.”
Once again Alyx looked at his HP screen and stuffed it into his maroon backpack.

Almost an hour Alyx waited, when Norah came with Michi who looked so handsome. He was so excited to take Michi for a walk today. “You know where we're going, Michi? We're going to Uncle Nick's house.” He himself answered the question.
Michi did not move in her master's arms. Only occasionally did he meow, as the wind blew into his face.
“I am on the doorstep,” Alyx said on the phone.
Nick, who had just received the revelation, ran to the door and saw who had come. And sure enough Michi's face was already on the screen. “What are you doing here?”
“Quick open your door.”
“What?” Nick turned to look at his stuff lying around.
“You don't need to clean your room. I wouldn't show it to your staff if you were a slovenly person.”
“Stop!” Door opens. Nick let Alyx in.
“Too...”.
Alyx squatted down and let Michi walk on her own.
“What do you need to come to my house?”
“You have the heart, I am your friend, be nice to me. You yourself told me to
come,” murmured Alyx.
“Do not go up to the carpet. It was expensive,” Nick shouted at Michi who had just walked like a model.
“Ah, so you really miss me.” Nick ignores and tries to embrace Alyx, but Alyx soon
dodging by twisting Nick's hand and making him moan in pain. “What are you doing?”
“Sorry. It's reflex.”
“Then let me go now.” Nick stroked his hand which had just been released. “What's more,
martial artist? A taekwondo? Karate?” Nick begins to guess what else Alyx has just learned.
“No. This is just an old lesson.”
Nick chuckles, “just no man can stand you.”
“So you're not a man?”
“Damn you. You're too strong. You better not learn everything. You're too greedy.” Nick thought about
his friend who every time he visited a country, surely he would learn the martial arts of that country, but some had indeed been learned in the past school. Well, just studying it, he didn't intend to get a belt or take the championship.
“You're outrageous once,” Alyx stands up and goes into Nick's kitchen. Drink from the fridge.
“If we compete what will it be, well?”
“You want to compete with women? You dick. I thought maybe in boxing, you'd win, but.” Alyx.
half shouting.
“But what?”
“Maybe I will win another martial arts,” Alyx chuckles.
“Don't dream you can beat me.” Nick stood up, turned around to pick up the remote at the table, but
instantly stop—meatung.
“You want sparring with me?” Alyx's legs were already kicking, straight, and right in front of Nick's face. “Taekwondo maybe?”
“Maybe next time.” Nick knows very well that Alyx's kicks are very strong, so he'd better not stick to them.
Alyx lowered his legs and sat down in front of the TV, enjoying his sodas.
“I made a pin hole camera.”
“I did not ask,” said Alyx with the view of not switching from TV. “Alright, what for?” ask Alyx
then, when Nick just shut up.
“No, just make it.”
“Basic. Then I don't have to ask.”
“Ah, you are lazy to talk. Is your English not good?”
Alyx sneered. “At least I know a language you don't understand.” Moments later Alyx's attention was turned to the DSLR camera placed in front of him. “You just changed the lens?” ask Alyx then.
“Why?”
“There's dust. You should have taken care of your extra camera. Basic.”
“Ah, thank you, you're so considerate of my camera.”
“Already, there's no point in me telling you. I'll go now.”
“You want to go home?” ask her while looking at the bracelet in Alyx's hand.
Alyx smiled and raised his hand. A strap bracelet with Big Ben— small clock pendant
once. “You regret giving me?”
“No. Just glad you're still wearing it.”
Alyx sneered and once again touched the bracelet he had worn for two more years. “This is because you
give him, so I always wear.”
Nick's grin makes Alyx roll his eyeballs.
“Eh, are you really going home now?”
“Why are you happy?” Alyx grabbed Michi who was wriggling at his feet. “We will walk Michi, here is very boring.”
“Where do you want to go?”
“Custom. I'll start looking again.”
“Do what you want to do. See you.” Nick dropped Alyx off.

Alyx arrives in front of Parliament House. He didn't bring Michi, he sent her home and just took it
the camera then goes by itself. Alyx looked up at Big Ben's clock, a few months ago he was here too. After being satisfied looking at the big clock that— several shots, Alyx left. He walked through the river Thames that divides London.
It is better to walk, according to Alyx. Maybe it will be easier to get what he is looking for, but until this moment there is no sign of his appearance.
Alyx started this routine ever since his camera got a picture of someone he really wanted to meet.
At that moment, that person was looking at Big Ben like he had done earlier. Alyx thought he might find her again, so every time he decided to come to this place. But, the estimation was wrong, the person never showed up again. It seemed that what he was looking for had gone again to a city or to another country. Should he move again? But, he would not leave London before being clearly informed of the person's whereabouts.
Enough for today, now that Alyx has to go back to his apartment, it's not good to let Michi take too long
by oneself. He had not even prepared food for her. Michi is probably hungry. He smiled, remembering that Michi would always follow him when he wanted to play.

Alyx arrived at his apartment. He stops when he doesn't see Tom standing at work. And back up, get in the elevator. Sometimes he saw the canteen he was carrying, the canteen containing cat food. He bought it for Michi.
Ninth floor. Elevator door opens. He stood in front of the door of his apartment, before even entering
pass, he immediately realized the door was open. Alyx gawked from behind the door. “Did I forget to lock it?” he'll go inside immediately. Actually he wanted to go to the room to see if his camera was still there or not— maybe someone had entered, but his steps stopped when he saw Michi lying next to his place to eat.
Alyx took out Michi's food from the bag and intended to pour it into the container, but stopped when he got the leftovers. “What is this?” Alyx kissed her, “Sianida.” Alyx soon realizes Michi's condition. He grabbed. Alyx could only hug her tightly.
