The Choice of Old Man
Mystery helper

Alexandra Wijaya is 19 years old. The girl from the city of South Jakarta has moved to West Jakarta, many painful memories in her hometown. Before moving, he almost experienced sexual abuse while still sitting on the Junior High. Luckily, there was a mysterious man who helped her. At that time Alexa also experienced paranoid disorder, which made her no longer believe in men even her own father.

Since the second grade of High School, Alexa too often skipped school just because she was lazy to interact with the students who often bother her. He didn't go to class for a year, he should have graduated like his peers. Forced, he had to repeat the lesson again and was determined to study hard.

"Oh, Mommy? I'm on the road again, Mother's order I bought."

"Mom called not because of that. But I'm worried about you."

Alexa laughed a little. "Cih, it's just a feeling of mother's only times. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"Don't argue, hurry home! I'm afraid if anything happens to you!"

"OK, I get it. Uh."

Alexa hung up on her mother. After that, continue in his footsteps. He stepped on the edge of the road while carrying plastic containing the order of the mother. The big road seemed calm without motorists or passing cars. The yellow light of the lamppost illuminated the girl's black hair. He closed his eyes, feeling the night wind blowing across his long hair.

Looking behind Alexa, there was a girl running scared barefoot. Both of his palms were bleeding to the point of splattering on the asphalt. A man dressed in black ran after the girl. The atmosphere of the road that was once quiet and quiet, suddenly became crowded by the clattering of feet. Meanwhile, the distance between the girl and Alexa is getting closer.

The girl slammed Alexa's back. He was quite surprised to see it. Moreover, there was blood continuously seeping out in the palm of the girl's hand. "Oh my gosh! Who, huh?" tanyakanya.

Not a word came out of the girl's mouth. However, she can tell what Alexa says through mouth movements. The girl took the phone out of her pocket and typed something with a bloody hand. Spontaneous, Alexa widens the eyes.

"I'm hearing-impaired, brother. Please help me, I'm in pursuit of people!"

The girl showed me what she had just typed. Now Alexa understands what the girl means. (Tuna mungu speech is a person's ability to speak and hear)

Alexa looked around. He saw someone up ahead. Then, Alexa glared for a moment, the man walked over towards them while grasping a wooden axe. Without further ado, Alexa pulled the girl's wrist and took her away from the man.

BRUK!

Only halfway through, Alexa's steps stopped. The speechless girl fell onto the asphalt with a wooden axe stuck behind her head. He was shocked not to get stuck. His hair immediately stood up to the crown when he saw the terrible scenery in front of his eyes. The blood came out of the girl's head. Alexa stared for a moment so shocked.

Alexa is at a loss for what to do, between running away alone or saving the girl she helps. He fumbled behind his bag, looking for his phone. After getting his phone, he quickened his footsteps to save himself first. Still running, Alexa called the number of the authorities.

"With the police station here, how can we help you?" The phone was also connected to the police station.

Step by step, Alexa managed to escape the man. He stopped, adjusting his breath. "There's a killer here!" his yell.

"good. Can you please send us the location? We will act soon. Make sure you find a safe place, don't go anywhere, stay there."

"Akh!"

Someone pulled his phone over until it bounced on the side of the road. Alexa's eyes widened to see a high-statured shadow under the light of a street pole. The man appears to be taking something under his right leg. The girl closed her eyes, trying to dare to run away.

The next second, the man hit Alexa on the head using a brick. A rancid-smelling liquid dripped down his forehead, then down onto his cheeks. His body was pushed to the asphalt.

Alexa holds both knees with her hands while standing. He kept up his pace, until he realized that a man in a gray hoodie with his mouth covered in black cloth was walking towards him. Alexa's footsteps, her body fell. The man before him immediately grabbed his arm. Reflexes, the man clutches the girl's body.

Meanwhile, the man approached the speechless girl, intending to forcefully pull the wooden axe that was still stuck in her head. As fast as lightning, the hoodie man lifted Alexa's body and kicked the man away from the victim.

"Damn it! How dare you disrupt my plans!"

The man ran about to punch the hoodie man in the face. The hoodie guy took Alexa down. With ease, the man threw Alexa's body into the air like a cheerleader, then caught his waist.

"Kick!" said the hoodie man, giving instructions. Alexa swung her right leg from the side. Then, land a hard kick on the man's cheek.

The hoodie guy took Alexa down again. He and the hoodie man looked at each other, seeing the reflection of each other on the eyeballs in front of him. Alexa's heart beats for the first time. At first glance, the girl felt Dejavu in her memory, but whether it was just her feelings or indeed she had met the man.

The hoodie man clutches Alexa's head. He turned to the man. "What is this, the way the murderers seek pleasure?" The tone of the sentence is so heavy.

"What do you mean?" the man did not understand.

"Taking another's life away." The man glanced at the deaf girl ahead there. "That girl is also your target."

"Just a mute girl, just sigh can't, let alone ask for help."

"For you, she's just a dumb, deaf girl. But to his parents, he's a diamond to look after."

Minutes later, police and paramedics arrived. Two police officers arrested the murder suspect. Alexa turned her head, watching the speechless girl being put in an ambulance.

The man crouched down to lay Alexa's body on his thigh. One of the paramedics came to put a medicine box and clean the blood on Alexa's head. Afterwards, the man seemed to develop a faint smile. Despite being covered in black cloth, the girl could see from her pair of eyes.

Why do I feel like I've met you, but where? Inner Alexa.

Alexa reached out, wanting to know who had helped her. His ears were buzzing with pain in his head. The man clasped Alexa's wrist. The pain in his head and the hum in his ears were no longer felt. However, his eyelids felt heavy as if they were sleepy.

Several journalists came to cover the news at the scene. They are willing to jostle and force into the scene guarded by several police officers. The man cradled Alexa's body and walked out of the scene.

"What's the victim's condition?"

"Please let us highlight the victim's face."

"Mas, please have a minute to interview."

They immediately stormed the man, showering him with three questions. While behind other journalists, there are two journalists seen lifting the camera into the air in order to highlight the face of Alexa. The man did not stay still, then tightened his grip on the girl's head.

TBC.
